Roskilde Cathedral

This guide to Roskilde Cathedral opens with the death of Margrethe the First in 1412, who once ruled Denmark, Norway and Sweden together, and the unseemly scramble over where her body would rest. It follows Bishop Peder Jensen Lodehat's decision to bring her remains here instead of her chosen resting place at Soro Abbey, and the outrage that followed among the monks who lost her. You'll pass a stone pillar marked with the heights of visiting kings on the way to her tomb.
