Best Laid Plans
I've had a bit of difficulty researching the Polish background to Spider on the Web, but today I found a wonderful site with everything I could possibly want to know about Krakow. Yay. It will give me some sorely needed little details for the background, especially since it gives a brief history of various buildings.
But...
It appears the Kings of Poland were all interred in the cathedral. Bummer. My opening chapter had the King's cremation. I know mine is a fantasy Poland not the real Poland - but in 1650 it should have been a burial not a cremation. I knew that, really, but for other reasons the cremation fitted my plot-line so I was trying to ignore it.
An unbroken line of kings each entombed in their own royal sarcophagus in the cathedral is a bit harder to ignore.
Back to the drawing board.
