Die Universität Löwen (KU Leuven) startet eine DNA-Studie, um zu klären, ob die St.-Petri-Kirche in Löwen tatsächlich die sterblichen Überreste von vier Brabanter Herzögen aus dem 12. und 13. Jahrhundert birgt. Die Gebeine wurden aus der Krypta geborgen und fachgerecht für die Studie konserviert. Das Projekt zielt darauf ab, die Abstammung, die Verwandtschaftsverhältnisse und die biologischen Merkmale der Gebeine zu erfassen.
