  "Scandinavian Coffer ab. 9th Cent.
  Called the Shrine of St. Kunigunde. Formerly in the Cathedral of Bamberg.
  Now in the Museum. München".

  Inskrivet i huvudboken 2010.

  Saint Cunigunde of Luxembourg (c. 975 -3 March 1040 at Kaufungen), also called St. Cunegundes and St. Cunegonda, was the wife of the Holy Roman Emperor Saint Henry II. She is the Patroness of Luxembourg, Lithuania and Poland; her feast day is 3 March.
  Her marriage to St. Henry was a spiritual one, that is, they married for religious companionship and by mutual agreement did not consummate their relationship.
  Calumniators accused her of scandalous conduct, but her innocence was signally vindicated by Divine Providence, as she walked over pieces of flaming irons without injury, to the great joy of her husband, the Emperor.
  She died in 1040, and was buried at Bamberg Cathedral near her husband. She was canonised by Pope Innocent III on 29 March 1200.
