Buried:
In 1682, the Jesuit antiquary Claude-Francois Menestrier announced that he had discovered Anne's tomb at the Cistercian Abbey of Villiers. The discovery was subsequently disputed, as Villiers was not built until the thirteenth century, although it's possible Anne's remains had been moved there at some point following her death. Whatever monument may have been there was destroyed in the French Revolution.
Anne married Henry I, King of France on 19 May 1051 in Rheims, Grand Est, France. Henry (son of Robert II "the Pious", King of France and Constance of Arles) was born in Apr 1008 in Burgundy, France; died on 4 Aug 1060 in Vitry-en-Brie (now Vitry-sur-Seine), Île-de-France, France; was buried in Basilica of Saint-Denis, St. Denis, Île-de-France, France.
