I’m not sure how we can ID her from DNA unless we have the confirmed remains of a direct relative either. If she had descendants that lived to the modern day, then it would be...every person of European descent.

We can test her DNA against the remains she was buried with though. But I remain skeptical that this was Queen Emma.

I’ve been informed (as it is unclear) that one of the boxes was supposed to contain her remains anyway, as it has her name and an inscription. Makes much more sense then for it to be her.

I am curious then if we can reliably ID the others, especially the younger male remains. If they were all related then it would be very interesting to see.
