  • A Knight And A Churchman: The Unlikely Notre Dame Duo

    A Knight And A Churchman: The Unlikely Notre Dame Duo
    Jan 29 2023

    #12.  Notre Dame's sarcophagi have started revealing their secrets!  The two men found during the restoration have intriguing  connections but couldn't be more different.  Learn more about the mysterious knight and the wealthy churchman in this episode of Paris Gone By!  

    Note: Throughout the episode and the show notes, I refer to the first sarcophagus as Le Chevalier or The Knight. Technically the INRAP scientists nicknamed him Le Cavalier or The Rider—I misspoke in the episode. But I do believe he is likely a knight, based on the evidence at hand, so I'm going with it. Stay tuned for any updates. 😄
