Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: Editha of England

This couple, carved in the 14th. century, is assumed to represent Otto I the Great and his (first) wife Editha of England (910-946). Her coffin was opened in 2008 by archaeologists. An inscription recorded that it was the body of Eadgyth, reburied in 1510. The remains were brought to England, for tests. Professor Mark Horton of Bristol University said that "this may prove to be the oldest complete remains of an English royal." - says Wikipedia. - Professor Horton was right (see below). Meanwhile (2010) the remains of Editha are buried again. Here is a very interesting 5-min-video about the archeological research: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfmkWvgDr_k
