She let him lie uninterred for five days, and on the sixth day, not knowing what else to do, she buried him in her own head. Hence she obtained her crest, which is popularly said to be her father&#039;s grave-hillock.<br /> :&#039;&#039;Youth&#039;s first duty is reverence to parents.&#039;&#039;</div>
