Today's #31DaysofGraves is #Relocated. Edmund Tudor, died in 1456 after his defeat at Carmarthen, buried in the Carmarthen Greyfriars, his son Henry VII gave him a spiffy new tomb in about 1500, the tomb and (probably) the body were moved to St David's Cathedral after the dissolution of the friary.

It was a wonderful privilege to welcome these Orthodox friends to @stdavidscathedral.bsky.social 100 years after a previous Orthodox Patriarchs visit & 1700 years after the Council of Nicaea. #CytunNew @stdavidsdiocese.bsky.social #ChurchinWales #AnglicanCommunion
