This video is an exploration of the tomb of King Edward I in Westminster Abbey. It is an unusual tomb and the treatment of the king's body in the middle ages was unusual too. When the tomb was opened in 1774 the remains of the king were found dressed in his coronation robes and wearing replicas of the coronation regalia.
