EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting and historically significant print captures a moment of intense drama and intrigue in the papal history. Pope Stephanus VI, also known as Stephanus VII, is depicted here arraigning his predecessor Formosus, who has been exhumed for this purpose. The image conveys a sense of solemnity and gravity as the two figures stand face to face in what appears to be a courtroom setting.
Formosus, who reigned as pope from 891 to 896, was posthumously accused of various crimes by Stephanus VI in 897. This unprecedented act of exhumation and trial sent shockwaves through the Catholic Church at the time and remains a dark chapter in its history.
The fate of both men is tragically intertwined - while Formosus was subjected to this macabre spectacle after his death, Stephanus VI himself met a grim end when he was later strangled. The irony and brutality of these events are palpable in this powerful image.
As we gaze upon this photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of the complex power struggles and moral dilemmas that have shaped the institution of the papacy throughout centuries. It serves as a poignant reminder of how even those entrusted with spiritual authority are not immune to human frailty and corruption.
