Shrine of St. Ferdinand III, King of Castille, Seville Cathedral


We often hear the line "how would you feel if one of your ancestors was put on public display?" Well, I'm showing you these pictures, so it's fairly obvious I don't have a problem with it. The dead don't give a rat's hindquarters what happens to their bodies, so the living should stop being so fucking squeamish.
FYI: St. Ferdinand's daughter married Edward I of England. Literally millions of people are descended from them.
