Royal tombs, aerial view, with 12th century effigies of Eleanor of Aquitaine and King Henry II Plantagenet of England, in the nave of the Abbey Church at Fontevraud Abbey, Fontevraud-l'Abbaye, Loire Valley, Maine-et-Loire, France. Henry, 1133-1189, ruled from 1154 and was a benefactor of the monastery. His effigy is carved in stone and painted, he wears a crown and blue robes edged with gold and holds a sceptre. Eleanor reads a book and wears a crown and nun's wimple and her robes are blue and white. No bodies remain in the abbey as the tomb was raided during the French Revolution. Fontevraud Abbey was founded in 1100 by Robert of Arbrissel and became a double monastery for both monks and nuns, led by an Abbess. The Order was dissolved during the French Revolution. The abbey is listed as a historic monument and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
