minus-squareMartin@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoThe fact that they dug up Oliver Cromwell’s body for a posthumous execution. It’s just insane on so many levels
minus-squareHugh_Jeggs@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoDid they not just dig it up so they could put his head on a spike for all to see? Ask anyone from Ireland or Scotland at that time if it was justified and your head would be on a feckin spike for even questioning it 😂
minus-squareMartin@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoNo it was by trial and meant as punishment. Quite common even, but I first heard of it in relation to Cromwell c.s.
