Not Mary Magdalene's ovaries, her skull. The teeth match marks on Christ's body imprinted on the Shroud of Turin.

What the Knight actually DID have was the skull of John the Baptist. Or at least what they and the muslims whom they killed to get it thought was his skull.
It was part of the big stink that got them accused of heresy. (That and the French loser king owed them a lot of money and the Pope of the day was pretty weak and located in Paris. But, hey, details.)

It's funny that Mary Magdalene's name is brought up in context with Booth, because there was a woman named Louise Wooster, who wrote a book called "The Autobiography of a Magdalen." She ran several brothels in Birmingham, Alabama, is known more so for her humanitarian work, and claimed to have had a liaison with John Wilkes Booth. She supposedly kept a scrapbook on Booth too. I first learned of her in 1993. "A Woman of the Town" (Louise Wooster, Birmingham's Magdalen) by James L. Baggett was published in 2005. According to Amazon it is currently unavailable through them, but I'm sure it could be found through another bookseller.
