De tombe van graaf Floris V te Alkmaar

The 'tomb' of count Florence V of Holland in the ‘Grote Kerk’ (St. Laurentius church) of Alkmaar has a remarkable history which can be summarized as follows. After his assassination in 1296 the body of Florence V was carried to the church of Alkmaar where it was placed in the choir, and stayed there for almost a year before it was buried in the abbey of Rijnsburg. The intestines, however, remained in the church of Alkmaar, and a donation for a memory chapel was made to commemorate the count. When in 1414 the amount of this donation was fixed again, the place where the intestines were buried was marked by an inscription on the stone below which the intestines were buried. On this stone the coffin of the count was once placed. When the church was demolished in the period 1468-1509, the stone was saved and placed on a wooden pedestal. This 'tomb' was placed in the choir of the (present) new church. Towards the middle of the 16th century the arms of the count were painted on the wooden panels. After a restoration during the years 1998/99, the 'tomb' has recovered its original monumental character

De skeletten uit het grafmonument te Rijnsburg: een hernieuwd onderzoek

A renewed research of the remains of skeletons in the sepulchral monument at Rijnsburg, which were excavated in the years 1949/50 and were then ascribed to family members of the count of Holland, took place in the years 1995/96. A bone sample was taken from the left thighbone of each of the 16 skeletons for the purpose of 14C datings. The results show a 300 to 600 years' discrepancy with the supposed historical data. From the physiological-anthropological research it was concluded that the demographic and osteopathological findings are inconsistent with the historically known information to such a degree, that there is no ground for a positive identification with the members of the count's family of Holland buried at Rijnsburg. An extensive analysis of all the historical and archaeological information with respect to these skeletons, in combination with the above-mentioned research results, led to the conclusion that the researched skeletons belonged to a sepulchral field below the foundations of the church, which was there before the abbey church was built. This sepulchral field forms part of the settlement known from historical and archaeological information and for the greater part dates back to the 9th to 11th centuries, with a few graves dating from the Merovingian period (early 7th century)
