SAINT-DENIS ABBEY/FRANCE (La basilique Saint-Denis):
Royal tombs at Saint-Denis had been despolied following outbreak of the French Revolution and their contents stolen, dispersed, or buried in a common pit outside the abbey. Following the Restoration of the Bourbons the royal tombs were returned to the abbey church of Saint-Denis from a museum where they had been kept. As it was impossible to determine which bones buried in a common pit by the revolutionaries belonged to which king or queen, it was decided that all royal bones should be laid to rest in the Ossarium, a kind of common mausoleum for all kings and queens (Queen Louise of Lorraine, however, has a tomb containing her own mortal remains).
