The reason because he loved her the best. Bah he didn’t love anyone only himself, but he was buried with her because she was the only one of his Queen to give him a Son. Somewhere on the forum pages there is a picture of the inside of the Vault. Charles 1st I believe is buried in there too along with a child of Queen Anne’s 1702-1714..

So interesting that this great King was buried in a vault under the floor which he shared. No great tomb or monument. He didn’t fair any better than those he executed. Seems Catherine of Aragon bested them all.

I hope this link works for you and is of help.

Actually COA tomb was only given it’s marble slab during the Victorian era before then I think it wa just a simple enough sort of tomb befitting someone of her rank in Henry’s eyes, she was the widow of his dead brother. AOC cleves tomb is even more obscure as she is buried under the altar in Westminster Abbey.

2 little bits of trivia for you. Mary Queen of Scots was originally, buried in Peterbrough Catherdral directly opposite K.O.A’s Tomb. That is until her son James moved her remains to Westminster Abbey to lie in what was originally Elizabeth’s tomb, Whilst Elizabeth was moved and buried on top of her sister Mary.
Maria de Salanas K.O.A favourite lady in waiting is alledgely buried with K.O.A. When K.O.A tomb was given a makeover by the Victorians, one of the workman was able to use a bit of wire and hooked out a fragment of black spanish style lace, there was a strong smell of spices on it but the lace soon fell into dust, however he said there was a hole in the coffin which was just large enough (I wouldn’t be surprized if he actually made a hole in it, The Victorians were facinated with the macabre and supernatural side of things) which he said he noticed within that the corpse had 2 left hands. I think it’s highly unlikely that there is any shred of truth in the story. It was probably invented to help attract the tourists to Peterbrough. After all as I said the Victorians like tales of mystery, horror and shocking tales of daring do and how better then to invent something like this. Gawd their lives must have been really boring.
