In France, in March last year, the builders made repair the chapel of St. Joseph, which is in the city of Rennes. During the work, they came upon a stone crypt, which is located inside a woman’s body, buried, presumably, in the XVII century. Experts believe that the body belongs to Louise de King, widow of the Breton aristocrat. It is known that she died in 1656 at the age of 60 years.

The coffin was sealed. Opening it, the experts found it a hat and shoes. Close to the heart of a woman’s body lay, presumably, her husband. It is noted that in other tombs, found not far from the tomb, were found only bones.

After a detailed analysis of the remains of a woman, the researchers were able to describe the “medical history” aristocrat. Since it was found that her kidney stones were light and were sick because they were in the agglomerated state. The heart was missing. Not reported, the scientists determined that lying beside the body of her heart belonged to her husband.

Clothing aristocrats tainted, but according to experts, “it can be restored, and then sent to the museum. Judging by the clothes, it can be assumed that the widow Louise de Kingo spent the rest of his life in the monastery, as she was dressed modestly, without peculiar worldly aristocratic excesses: it was a linen shirt, shoes with cork base and woolen trousers.

After the research, decided to rebury the remains of a woman not far from Rennes.
