Royal Plantagenet tombs in the nave of the Abbey Church at Fontevraud Abbey, Anjou, France. These are the effigies of King Henry II of England, Eleanor of Aquitaine, King Richard I of England the Lionheart and Isabella of Angouleme. The Plantagenet rulers were benefactors of the monastery. Fontevraud Abbey was founded in 1100 by Robert of Arbrissel and became a double monastery for both monks and nuns, led by an Abbess. The Order was dissolved during the French Revolution. The abbey is listed as a historic monument and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
