Memorial Notes:

Edmund Tudor died in Carmarthen after a perod of captivity in November 1457. Poetic evidence suggests his tomb was installed fairly quickly and that it was a simple alabaster chest tomb. His son Henry VII had it replaced with a more impressive Purbeck marble and brass tomb in about 1500. Details in M. Gray, 'The Tombs of Edmund Tudor', Carmarthenshire Antiquary 61, online at https://pure.southwales.ac.uk/en/publications/ipublication-forthcoming-ithe-tombs-of-edmund-tudor
