MEDIEVAL SCULPTOR, French
(active c. 1260)

Tomb of Dagobert I

c. 1260
Stone
Abbey Church, Saint-Denis

This is one of the many monuments remade at the order of St Louis. The tomb of Dagobert I (died 638) is heavily restored but the main outlines of it are medieval. It has an interest in that it preserves its original canopy. No other canopies survive, but many of the monuments preserve the tomb-chest.
