Her body is said to have been placed in St. Maximin Oratory in Villa Lata until A.D. 745, when she was moved to protect her relics from the Saracens. Later, when the Dominicans built a convent in La Sainte-Baume, the shrine was found intact, with an inscription indicating why the relics were hidden. This church was destroyed during the French Revolution, but was later restored, and the head of Mary Magdalen is said to be there to this day.

Mary queen of Scots myths?

Nothing new under the sun, Comrade. One can imagine several myths- a Lady In waiting substituted for Her Majesty and Mary somehow escaped and the wrong woman was executed. ( I have not seen this in print but it seems like the type of Urban Myth). more probable one of Mary"s two ladies in waiting impulsively grabbed the lifeless Queen"s head and kept it as a priceless relic. for some reason it did not decompose- may have been mummifed or something ( Lady Elilzabeth Kennedy was the Lady involved) She kept Mary"s head preserved in her quarters ( what a weird piece of decor_ when the lady In waiting died, Mary"s head was propped up in her hands in the casket. there is no way to verify or negate these rumors or legends.The Romanov girls do not corner the market on myth and possibly true, legends.
