Subject: RE: BS: £100,00 for what?
We have a lot of history I suppose... not all so generously supported
Edward 11 was deposed in January, 1327. "Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his murder and its connection to Edward's alleged homosexual behaviour."
Wiki quotes that - "all his father's efforts could not prevent his acquiring the habits of extravagance and frivolity which he retained all through his life".
It's by no means certain whether this is indeed a "tomb" or merely a shrine to a singulary "flawed" monarch! and btw, it will cost you £3 to view the cathedral although I suppose you could just watch the first 2 Harry Potter films!
