medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
That's the crux, isn't it? Was there anything specifically ecclesiastical about these procedures, or was it rather the case that civil forms were being followed (whatever the period under discussion)?

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
This is a bit reminiscent of the humiliation of relics - on which I think
we had a discussion some time back.
It was also a commonplace in secular life - eg Oliver Cromwell was exhumed
and hanged after the Restoration in 1660. (Lots of other examples - just
can't call them to mind!)
