Polish archaeologists recently discovered an elite knight's burial with a surviving limestone tombstone in Gdańsk, featuring carvings of a chainmail-clad figure dating to the 13th century.
"Figural tombstones showing full-length armored figures are rare in Poland, especially from the 13th–14th centuries." "Together, the tombstone, the church, and the cemetery help tell a rich and layered story of early medieval Gdańsk." Andrea Margolis is a lifestyle writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
