EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures a truly bizarre moment in history - the posthumous trial of Pope Formosus by his successor, Stephanus VI. Formosus, who reigned as pope from 891 to 896, earned a strange kind of fame when his corpse was exhumed and put on trial for various offenses.
The trial itself is a testament to the power struggles and intrigue that often characterized medieval papal politics. It is said that Stephanus VI went so far as to appoint a deacon to speak on behalf of the deceased pope during the proceedings. Ultimately, Formosus was found guilty and his body was desecrated before being thrown into the Tiber River.
This macabre episode in papal history has fascinated historians for centuries, serving as a reminder of the lengths to which people will go in pursuit of power and control. The image itself is hauntingly captivating, with its depiction of Formosus' preserved corpse standing as evidence against him in this twisted trial.
As we gaze upon this photo print, we are reminded of the complexities and contradictions inherent in human nature - our capacity for both reverence and cruelty. It serves as a poignant reminder of how even those who hold positions of great authority are not immune to scandal or controversy.
