Today's #31DaysofGraves is #Relocated. Edmund Tudor, died in 1456 after his defeat at Carmarthen, buried in the Carmarthen Greyfriars, his son Henry VII gave him a spiffy new tomb in about 1500, the tomb and (probably) the body were moved to St David's Cathedral after the dissolution of the friary.
