- ALT1: ... that the "Jagiellonian curse" was blamed for the deaths of restoration workers who opened the tomb of a medieval Polish king in 1973? Source: Gazeta Krakovska, (19 May 2014) In Polish, key passages: "When the royal tomb was opened, the Jagiellonian curse began to work...The first victim of conservation works in the Holy Cross Chapel at Wawel in 1972 and 1973 and the opening of the grave of Casimir Jagiellon was the Wawel architect, who died of a stroke in the spring of 1974...In 10 years, 15 people working on the restoration of the tomb died...People did not hide their fear: could it be that a story identical to that of the "curse of Tutankhamun"...was to be repeated?"
