What happened to Jeanne d'Albret's remains ? Considering that she was a leading Huguenot, it would be odd if the Huguenots desecrated her tomb.

The sack by the hugenots happened in ten years before Jeanne died. Her remains were safe until the tombs were destroyed by the French revolution. Some of the remains of the royal tombs were found in an excavation, but they were never identified.

Yes indeed Jeanne III was buried beside her husband at the Collégiale Saint-Georges de Vendôme which was the traditional resting place of the House of Vendôme .During the height of anti royal Revolutionary fervor the church was pillaged and desecrated in 1793 ,the marble tombs were ransacked and all remains dumped in a pit and the church was pulled downed and demolished.
