This documentary traces the vault's history from the medieval founding of the chapel through the secret wartime burial of Charles I, whose body was lost for one hundred and sixty-four years, to the accidental rediscovery of his coffin in eighteen thirteen and the macabre scandal that followed. It ends with the committal of Queen Elizabeth II in twenty twenty-two, the most recent coffin to pass through the chapel floor. The central question is simple: what lies beneath?
