[QUOTE="Rebekah Scott, post: 27934, member: 271"] It´s prosaic, but perfectly possible that these "place of honor" tombs, right there under the altar, are used on a rotating basis for the remains of bishops, nobles, or other people important or rich enough to merit burial there. Using and re-using tombs was a longtime fundraiser in cathedrals and shrine churches all over Christendom, with places closer to the altars being the most prime. Whoever is in there (if anybody is) probably paid big money for the privilege, as did the body before him, and the body before him. I bet at least one of them was a heretic, or at least a heathen! Just a guess. Reb. [/QUOTE]
