 The ancient crypt was expanded in such a way that pilgrims could visit the reliquary of Saint Canute beneath the raised choir without interfering with the canons' hourly services above.The canons also claimed they had relics of Saint Alban which Canute supposedly stole on his 1075 attack on Ely, England.King Hans of Denmark (d. 1513) was buried in the cathedral in 1513.
