Ep. 44: Posthumous Trials and Executions - Stripping and Wiping
Manage episode 318279706 series 2718169
Off with their heads!!! But not before you listen to this episode. This episode we take a look at three examples of posthumous trials and executions. You heard right, posthumous. We cover what happened to Oliver Cromwell, Gilles van Ledenberg, and Pope Formosus and the Cadaver Synod after their deaths. Because even in death, they couldn't escape pissed off and powerful enemies. Things get messy on this episode of Under the Pendulum Podcast.
