St Bees Man, a well-preserved medieval mummy found in 1981 in England, was likely Anthony de Lucy, a 14th century knight killed in 1368 during the Northern Crusades. His lead-lined coffin and gruesome chest injuries match records of de Lucy’s death by a punctured lung in Lithuania. The mummy was buried with de Lucy’s sister, who may have transported him back to England.
