A screen bears three pictures, at left, the skull of French King Henri IV (1553-1610) and at right, its reconstruction, during a press conference in Paris on February 12, 2013. This reconstruction was made three years after a panel of forensic scientists identified the skull of the king who was murdered at the age of 57 on May 14, 1610, by a fanatic. Scientists headed by France's Philippe Charlier found a common genetic profile between the mummified head of Henri IV and dried blood from his descendant, Louis XVI.
