Additional information
Roskilde Abbey or Our Lady's Abbey, Roskilde (Roskilde Kloster or For Frue Kloster) was a nunnery dedicated to Saint Mary the Virgin. The Abbey was located at Roskilde on the Island of Zealand. It was founded in the early 12th century for Benedictine nuns. It is now the site of the Old Church of Our Lady (Gammel Ver Frue Kirke).

Roskilde Abbey was chiefly known for the tomb of Saint Margrethe of Roskilde, also known as Margaret of Ølse or Margaret of Højelse, who died at Ølsemagle or Højelse in 1176. She was married to Herlog in Ølsemagle near Kjøge. Margrethe was murdered by her husband and had been buried as a suicide on the beach at Køge. As a person who committed suicide, she was buried with no religious ceremony.
After miracles were declared to have happened near her grave, her remains were moved to Roskilde Abbey in 1176.

About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.
