And Eleanor Plan- tagenet. The conqueror of Las Navas is shown on a relief, enthroned, handing the charter je BURGOS of the abbey to the first abbess. To the right of these tombs lies Queen Berenguela, mother of St. Ferdinand ; and farther back in the aisles are the sarcophagi of thirty-six members of the royal house of Spain, among them the ' Emperor' Alfonso VII. , Sancho I. , Enrique I. , and Margaret of Austria, Duchess of Savoy. Anne of Austria, daughter of the great Don John, was the last... princess entombed within these venerable pre- cincts. Unapproachable by visitors is the chapel of Santiago, wherein is preserved an effigy of St. James, which by means of some hidden mechanism could place the crown on the royal brow and confer the accolade of knighthood. The remarkable Moorish fabric, generally be- lieved to have been a trophy of the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, is hung in the nun's choir, but a replica may be seen hanging in the chancel. A detailed description of this interesting relic is contained in Riano's Spanish Arts.
