Fontevraud Abbey
The Angevins were closely associated with the Fontevraud Abbey in Anjou. Henry's aunt was Abbess, Eleanor retired there to be a nun and the abbey was originally the site of his grave and those of Eleanor, Richard, his daughter Joan, grandson Raymond VII of Toulouse and John's wifeIsabella of Angoulême. Henry III visited the abbey in 1254 to reorder these tombs and requested his heart be buried with them.
