I am reminded of Kate Valois, who married Henry the Fifth. <br /><br />Apparently she was so good-lookin and virtuous that her body was preserved from corruption for several hundred years, to the extent that she was still cute enough after all those years for Samual Pepys to kiss her extremely dead body on the lips, and not mind.
