Edward Bruce burial?

[edit]

Most sources say — see Edward_Bruce#Battle_of_Faughart — that Bruce was beheaded and quartered, with the head being sent to Edward II of England and the quarters to the four principal quarters of Ireland. I suppose there could have been some left to bury here, but... Also, according to Ireland OS maps St. Brigid's Well is also in the cemetery. If anyone confirms either or both of those facts, some rewriting might be in order. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 20:37, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
