Where are British kings buried? Well in truth you would be hard-pushed to know - most of the sovereigns from James I to George II are buried in Henry VII's chapel in Westminster Abbey, but not one of them has a proper monument. If you look carefully you will find their names inscribed on the floor above the burial vaults where they are interred, but those names were only added in the 1860s before that time their graves were unmarked. In this video, using contemporary visual evidence, I explore the two primary vaults in Henry VII's chapel, what they look like, the coffins within and who is buried within.
