Intersting to note someone long ago decided to bury Charles I with Henry VIII and Jane Seymour. Why not bury him with his parents or someone closely related to him than Henry VIII? After all, Henry VIII was just his ancestral uncle.
Looks like there were two "tiny" caskets on top of Charles I's. Were they actual caskets or just a part of the illustration?
Also, seeing that damage to Henry VIII's casket made me wonder if it was done on purpose or by accident. Were there plaques or something on the caskets of Henry VIII and Jane to identify who's buried in which? I see that Charles I had one on his casket.
