Bury Me the Head of King Henry IV

Severed Head of France's King Henry IV to Be Buried: "The severed head of King Henry IV of France is to be laid to rest -- four centuries after his death, according to a report published Wednesday.

Experts from University Hospital R. Poincare in Garches, France, used modern techniques including radiocarbon-dating and digital reconstruction to prove that a mummified head and its brain contents, long presumed to be that of the king, were really his."
