Burnham Lad Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Lord Emmanuel Shinwell? If so, which is the English King who is interred in an Abbey, but not Westminster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Holden Posted August 26, 2003 Author Share Posted August 26, 2003 Well William II i believe is buried in Gloucester Catherdral, but that isn't an Abbey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnham Lad Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 You're right - it's not him...... Clue - he did fight with a William! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_W Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 William I is in St. Stephen Abbey in Caen, Normandy Henry I is in Reading Abbey So am guessing it is one of these two - but you say English King rather than King of England, so probably the later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Holden Posted August 26, 2003 Author Share Posted August 26, 2003 Possibly Harold I in Battle Abbey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnham Lad Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 You're right, except he was Harold II (Harald 1, Harefoot son of [****!!****] was from 1035 - 1040)and was interred in Waltham Abbey, despite his death at Battle. Sorry Ian, as you know you are correct about Henry 1st in Reading Abbey, my fault - perhaps I should have said Saxon King, but that might have been a real giveaway! Over to David, I think?

AFF Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Lee Hall.

AFF Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Errr No, actually. I was thinking that you could have used Ian_W's question about Mr Simoniz or whatever. Small gesture etc. Let me help out now. Lady Jane Grey was crowned Queen of England at Canvey Island. Now. Mr Simonite is a character in a very popular sit-com [whatever that is]. What is he better known as? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
