Page "Richeza of Lotharingia" Paragraph 22

Her grave was opened multiple times after the transfer to the Köln Cathedral.

The last opening was in 1959 and showed her bones.

According to witnesses, Richeza had a small and graceful stature ; her collarbone showed traces of a fracture, which may have been caused by falling from a horse.

The skull was brownish and skinless, her head wrapped up in her face in substance, and the skull was also a golden dome with a cross grid pattern.

Because the skull was praying on a red cushion, was made an exhibition of the late Queen.

Richeza's relics are located since then in St. Nicholas church in Brauweiler and since 2002 in the Klotter parish church.
