Pope Formosus (died 896 ), whose body was exhumed by his successor, Pope Stephen VII , dressed in papal vestments and seated on a throne to undergo a "trial", later known as the Cadaver Synod or the ''Synod Horrenda''. Found guilty, the body was stripped, three fingers from its right hand cut off, and the corpse thrown into the Tiber.
A number of the Attainder predated to 1 January 1649 (It is 1648 in the document because of Old Style Year ). The bodies were exhumed and the first three were Hanged, Drawn And Quartered at Tyburn . The most prominent was the former Lord Protector Cromwell, whose body after said "punishment" was thrown, minus its head, into a common pit. The head was finally buried in 1960 . The body of Pride was not "punished" perhaps because it had decayed too much. Of the regicides still alive ten were executed and others either fled or were imprisoned.
