Excerpt from Cathedrals, Abbeys, and Churches of England and Wales: Descriptive, Historical, Pictorial In St. George's Chapel blended lie the oppressor and the oppressed, for in the southern aisle a black slab covers the remains of Henry VI. Removed hither from Chertsey. Pilgrims for a time came to this, as to a shrine, and found a cure for the headache in putting on an old red hat which the king had worn. Near to his grave another slab covers the remains of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. The tall apsidal chantry at the east part of the aisle bears the name of the Earl of Lincoln, Lord High Admiral to Queen Elizabeth; and near his grave lies Richard Beauchamp, Bishop of Salisbury, under whose care the chapel was built. At the western end of the aisle a richly-adorned monument has been erected by the Queen to the memory of the late Duchess of Gloucester, and other members of that branch of the Royal Family. Opposite to this is a little chantry which projects into the Lower Ward. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
