Summary

Description
English: Ledger stone of crusader w:Philip d'Aubigny (c.a. 1166 – c.a. 1236) at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, which was moved and protected with a grille in 1925. (Source:T. Bolen and T. Powers, 2009 and Raymond Cohen, Saving the Holy Sepulchre, 2008, p. 25). He was an Anglo-Norman knight, one of 5 sons of Ralph d'Aubigny and Sybil Valoignes whose ancestral home was Saint Aubin-d'Aubigné in Brittany. In England he was lord of the manor of Chewton Mendip, South Petherton, Bampton, Waltham and Ingleby and Keeper of the Channel Islands. The ledger stone is inscribed in Latin Hic jacet Philippus de Aubingni cuius anima requiescat in pace Amen ("Here lies Philip d'Aubigny. May his soul rest in peace. Amen".) and displays his arms: Gules, four fusils conjoined in fess argent. His family was later known in England as "Daubeney".

Text from https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/142379726/philip-d_aubigny: The Status Quo document regarding the holy places (as published by the British) explains how the marker survived the centuries in such good condition: “Thanks to the fact that for a long period it was protected by a stone divan built over it for the use of the Moslem guards, the tombstone is in a tolerably good state of preservation.”

In 1925, during the British Mandate over Palestine, an excavation of the grave for purposes of restoration uncovered Sir Philip’s bones as well as tablets inscribed in Latin describing his family tree. Based on these explorations, Sir Ronald Storrs, the military governor of Jerusalem, authenticated the tomb and Philip’s lineage in a 1925 article published in The Times of London.

The restoration of the grave was carried out by the British Pro-Jerusalem Society headed by Storrs. At that time the tombstone was re-set slightly below the level of the courtyard pavement but left visible through a protective metal grating. Today the slab lies in exactly the same spot, but hidden from view by a well-worn wooden hatch".
