Lost medieval chapel sheds light on royal burials at WestminsterAbbey, finds new study on 15th-century reconstruction
, reveal a story of how England's"White Queen" Elizabeth Woodville once worshiped at the Chapel of St. Erasmus, which may have even featured a whole, single tooth as part of the relics.of St. Erasmus. It was demolished in 1502 and little has been known about its role historically.
Commenting on the prominence of the chapel, Payne says."The White Queen wished to worship there—and it appears—also to be buried there, as the grant declares prayers should be sung 'around the tomb of our consort .' The construction, purpose and fate of the St. Erasmus chapel, therefore, deserves more recognition."
In the end, Elizabeth's last resting place was next to her beloved husband in Windsor in St. George's Chapel, which Edward IV had begun in 1475. Future monarchs have also been buried in St. George's, including Elizabeth II after her funeral this year at the Abbey. Although the precise location is unknown, the chapel was almost certainly built on space formerly allotted to a garden and near stalls where William Caxton sold his wares, according to the authors.
