FRANCE-CULTURE-HISTORY-ROYALTY-ANNE-BRITANNY

A picture shows the solid gold casket which contained the heart of the French queen Anne of Brittany, exposed by the castle of Blois, central France, as part of the commemoration of the 500th anniversary of her death, on March 21, 2014. The casket is a 500g heart-shaped box, consisting of two valves of gold with a guilloche plate held by a cord of gold. A golden crown composed of a mix of lily flowers and shamrocks is set on top of the casket. The inscription, in old French, reads : "In small vessel / pure fine gold and world / lies a bigger heart / that oncques (= never) lady had the world / Anne was the name of her / in France twice Queen / Duchess of Brittany / Royal and sovereign / 1513.
