Maybe such things are well-known, but,
is this a thread running through saints' lives;
of having their remains dug up and subjected to "torture," as it were?
Were saints (or others), for example, dug up and hung or quartered, etc?
Did this happen to commonfolk, as well?
Oh, and Happy New Year.
Thanks,
