My guess as to why there's a random headless woman in the coffin is that Fraser's clansmen didn't want to turn up back in Inverness without his body. After their efforts to get the real corpse were thwarted, they decided to 'acquire' a headless corpse through either grave robbery or bribery, knowing that by the time it got to Scotland it'd be mostly decomposed anyway, and nobody would be any the wiser.

I have to say that Dan and Sue have made a cracking historical video about Simon the Fox. I never saw the conclusion coming. Several bodies in the one casket and no heads found. The young lady and the others without a skull between them brings more questions than answers. Was something more sinister going on? I guess we'll never know, But bones in a casket in the mausoleum look like they were symbolic, that no one knew for sure until recently if Simon was there or not kept the riddle un answered. Well done HistoryHit, another top production. Many thanks for sharing.

[@DidMyGrandfatherMakeThis]

To me, one headless body wrapped in funerary shrouds and suffering from ten days worth of decomposition, you aren't going to be examining the corpse that carefully or closely. The wily and opportunistic undertaker gets rid of a body of a nobody by removing their head, giving that to the Fraser's and returns the original body to the crown to keep in favour. Then you get a nobody being essentially someone, a great irony.

[@tinovanderzwanphonocave544]

this is right on my turf! I have handled human remains for nearly 4 decades now I was 10 when I went to the local archeologist with a sack of human bones found in a sewer ditch when they were replacing the pipes in 1984. I live in the Dutch city of Leiden my city has a 2000-year history although it didn't really grow that much which means every and any place in the city was a cemetery at one point in time so 9-year-old me an avid amateur archeologist had to hit human remains rather sooner than later and, I have been finding human bones everywhere in the city in parks, underwater, under old buildings, in wells, in privy pits, in gardens, in antique sewers, on the side of streets and roads, on construction sites, under walls, under grass, under trees, in a chicken coop, in construction dumpsters, in construction soil dumpster bags, in a school playground, in water management ditches, what incompetent archeologists left behind (boneheads!), on parking lot green parts, next to a supermarket, in my own garden, in family gardens, behind my place of work including 2 roman gold rings!, a 16.000-year-old jaw in a deep pit used to disarm a 500 pound WWII bomb!, a rib bone in cement in a 1580s wall, under a removed swimming pool, behind a canal's wall, in the local botanical garden, another rib bone embedded in a tree trunk, at the former place of execution between the roots of a tree planted in 1898 by our former queen I found a fertibray, next to the partial visible city wall (probably plague victims tossed over the wall during the Spanish war (were the city was surrounded), under the floor of the former natural history museum when the floor got renewed, and, finally on a roof in a sea gull's nest. so, when I said you can find human remains everywhere in the city I wasn't joking! I have been a caretaker of human remains for nearly 4 decades I report all of it and, some I get to keep like the 16.000-year-old lower jaw bone which was carbon dated and quite a number of skulls and other bones, I use those as tutorial items the KZbin Aquachiger when he would find bones he would exclaim ''is it huuumaaan!! well, I sent him a tutorial private video via Facebook in around 2014 since then I forwarded many such videos to other archeological KZbinrs so they know what to look out for how to identify human remains and what actions to take the gist of that is always alert the authorities first the police then the local head archeologist and the rules to keep human remains in most countries it's perfectly legal to own such remains but in most, they must be verified to be archeological and not modern AKA possible murder victims which I did stumble upon on 2 occasions a sad thing indeed! having human remains or even dealing in them is also legal in most countries the provenance has to be complete where did it come from and how did I get them and what is the history behind it you need to make a paper trail with the help of the local archeological authorities. I also bought a lot from medical students now, to do that in my country you need a license because these are antique human medical artifacts and not archeological but, since I had a crystal clear work ethic with the authorities I got that license in a flash!! and, I got some nice sawed-up skulls with brass hooks for the tutorial videos so I can show the inside of a human skull I have been digging in abandoned cemeteries as well with the help of the professionals non of the finds were to keep except for the coffin nails/screws from the 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries I got a wide collection of those they would trash them because they are not historically important well I highly disagree so I kept them all uh all 30 ponds of them! of 15 forgotten now under streets cemeteries. man!

I'm actually quite intrigued by how quickly the Forensic Anthropology team determined the sex of the (Owner? User? Previous recipient of? Sitter upon-er?) of the first Sacrum they found. I suppose it's years of practice. One thing that caught me off guard was that I had been told in recent years that assigning sex to bones wasn't the standard practice as much anymore. Perhaps as people get older their bones become more obvious? Or maybe it's a difference between forensic anthropologists and archaeologists? Being more confident about that kind of thing might assist in solving cases, I suppose. Then again, that part was recorded in 2017, and time moves very quickly now...

I guess it depends on the preservation of the bones and the age of the individual. Like in adult women and men, the pelvic bone's shape would be more obvious than in children.

I visited Culloden years ago, and when I retired to my hotel in Inverness I stopped at the bar. Encountering another American, he asked if I'd been to the battlefield. In truth, I had been very moved and said so as the barman fetched my single malt. "An amazing place, isn't it?" my fellow tourist said. "The last battle fought on British soil." I remained silent as the American took his drinks back to his table. I turned to accept my drink from the barman, who asked if I was of Scottish descent since I was 'equally offended' at the man's suggestion that any part of Scotland could ever be 'British' soil. (I'm not Scottish; just a lover of history). I drank for free that night since I had shown "proper feeling". When I heard Dan Snow refer to Culloden as the last battle fought on British soil I flinched again as I remembered the incident. Thought I should share it.

[@hogwashmcturnip8930]

Hate to offend and your easily upset barman, but technically it Was the last battle fought on British soil. No one said ENGLISH soil did they? British As Scotland is part of the BRITISH isles it's soil is still British. Sorry and all that, but I do wish you Americans would work out which is which and what is what. 'The British Isles are a group of islands in the North Atlantic Ocean off the north-western coast of continental Europe, consisting of the islands of Great Britain, Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Inner and Outer Hebrides, the Northern Isles (Orkney and Shetland), and over six thousand smaller islands.[8] They have a total area of 315,159 km2 (121,684 sq mi)[5] and a combined population of almost 72 million, and include two sovereign states, the Republic of Ireland (which covers roughly five-sixths of Ireland),[9] and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The Channel Islands, off the north coast of France, are normally taken to be part of the British Isles,[10] even though they do not form part of the archipelago' Seems you owe your fellow countryman an apology. Still you got a free night out of it, thanks to a rather uneducated 'Braveheart' Most of us don't take much notice of them.
