Here is another tomb question. Are the tombs of the crusader kings (Duke Godfrey, Baldwin I - V, Guy of Lusignan, etc.) of Jerusalem still intact? I believe they were buried in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, though Guy may not have been. I just watched Kingdom of Heaven.
I'll have to check my sources. As for Guy, he went to Cyprus after purchasing it from the Templars, and ruled the island. Most likely he was burried there.
Well, I found out about Guy. He is apparently buried on the island of Cyprus. However, I have failed in finding out where Godfrey, the Baldwins, and other kings of Jerusalem are.
My sources indicate they were buried in Jerusalem while it was in the hands of the christian crusaders. I don't remember where, but I thought their tombs were desicrated later by the Muslim, possibly the Khwarizmians.
Anyway Seputure is one huge medieval fake. They have the place where the crucifician was supposed to be buried, the cave they stuck the body in and the bed the body was laid on. All manufactured or invented in medieval times.
