Meet the Ancestors The French Connection. Julian Richards
travels to an island near Guernsey in the Channel Isles, where excavations at the medieval Lihou Priory have unearthed evidence of three burials. Could these be the remains of monks who navigated treacherous seas in tiny boats to reach Britain? And what can the signs of a terrible, socially isolating disease in one set of bones reveal about the life of the dead man?
