What’s more unsettling than a courtroom drama? How about one where the defendant is... dead?
In this chilling episode, we dive into the Cadaver Synod — the real-life medieval courtroom drama where a pope's decaying corpse was dug up, dressed in full papal regalia, and put on trial by his enemies. It sounds like horror fiction, but this grotesque power play actually happened in 897 AD. Was it madness… or just medieval politics? You decide.
