13 Paintings That Tell The Story of Lesser Known Historic Events

1. The Cadaver Synod of 897 by Jean Paul Laurens, 1870 - Postmortem Trial of Pope Formosus


The Cadaver Synod (also called the Cadaver Trial; Latin: Synodus Horrenda) is the name commonly given to the ecclesiastical trial of Pope Formosus, who had been dead for about seven months, in the Basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome during January 897. The trial was conducted by Pope Stephen VI, the successor to Formosus' successor, Pope Boniface VI. Stephen had Formosus' corpse exhumed and brought to the papal court for judgment. He accused Formosus of perjury, of having acceded to the papacy illegally, and illegally presiding over more than one diocese at the same time.At the end of the trial, Formosus was pronounced guilty, and his papacy retroactively declared null.

Oh boy. This is a hard one.

I guess Formosus didn't have much to say at his trial. Lol.
