King of Sweden

The tomb of the King of Sweden and Duke of Mecklenburg, Albrecht III

The tomb of the King of Sweden and Duke of Mecklenburg, Albrecht III (1338-1412), and his wife Richardis (she died already in 1377) is an important example of Gothic royal grave art. The folds in Richardis dress are particularly detailed. The lion at his feet symbolizes strength and the dog at hers loyalty — both a bit ironic given his life story.
