His late Holiness was accused of improperly assigning Bishoprics, of perjury, and of serving as a Bishop before he had been ordained. His corpse was dressed in his vestments and propped up on a throne during the proceedings. Eventually Formosus was (posthumously) convicted of the charges. The vestments were stripped from the corpse, his memory was damned, the three fingers he used in blessings were hacked off, and his body was thrown into the river Tiber.

It seems that some of this spirit remains in Rome and the Church to this day.
