Fécamp (canton of Fécamp, Seine-Maritime) Abbey church of the Trinity Tomb of the Dukes of Normandie |
The sculpted bas-reliefs of scenes from the life of Christ preserved in the choir are from a later period than the Romanesque. They were probably part of the tomb in which Henry II Plantagenet deposited the remains of Dukes Richard I and Richard II in 1162, thereby marking his affinity with the Norman dynasty and with one of its principle sanctuaries.
