By chance I came across a detailed online account of the funeral ceremonies of Anne of Brittany in January and February 1514. Duchess of Brittany in her own right as heiress of her father Duke Francis II she was to have the unique distinction of being Queen Consort of France twice, marrying King Charles VIII and then his successor King Louis XII. There is an illustrated online life of her which can be read at
Anne of Brittany.
The comprehensive account of the ceremonies of her lying in state, the transport of her body and her final interment can be seen
here.
