Pope Stephen VI’s reign was brief, but his thirst for power and revenge ensured his name would be remembered for all the wrong reasons. In one of the most grotesque and infamous episodes in papal history, he exhumed his predecessor’s corpse, dressed it in papal robes, and put it on trial in what became known as The Cadaver Synod.
