    The Cadaver Synod: the Pope Who Put a Corpse on Trial (897)
    2026/09/11
    In 897 Pope Stephen VI had his predecessor Formosus exhumed, dressed in papal vestments and propped on a throne to stand trial. A deacon answered for the corpse. The verdict was guilty, the blessing fingers were severed, and the body went into the Tiber — then the Lateran basilica collapsed and Rome turned on Stephen. The Cadaver Synod, the strangest trial in the history of the Catholic Church, and why the Vatican's official position on prosecuting the dead is still contradictory.

    The Pig War of 1859
    2026/09/11
    In 1859, Britain and the United States sent warships, artillery and hundreds of soldiers to a small sheep island over the shooting of a single pig. The pig remains the only confirmed casualty. A vague treaty, two channels, a potato patch, and the British admiral who refused to start a war over a squabble about a pig.

  • The Dancing Plague of 1518

    The Dancing Plague of 1518
    2026/09/11
    In July 1518, a woman began to dance in a Strasbourg street and did not stop for nearly a week. Within a month, hundreds had joined her, and some of them danced until they died. The city's physicians diagnosed overheated blood and prescribed more dancing — so the council cleared the grain market, built a stage, and hired musicians to keep everyone moving. It went exactly as badly as you would expect.
