Who wants to see the tomb of Henry the Lion and Matilda of England in the stunning 12th century Brunswick Cathedral? It’s well old

Cathedral also has 800sqm of 13th century frescos, which were rediscovered under later crud in 1845. And are banging

Never seen these before, thanks. And what's that on her forehead that looks like a slug?

I think it’s a jewel? Or maybe a jewelled slug. That bit looks like it was probably reconstructed at a later date (the sculpture was originally made around 1230).

Henry the Lion's biography would make for a fantastic screenplay. Big budget stuff, though.

Bit brave having the assassination of Thomas Becket depicted in there!
