What ridiculous history fact is your favorite?TehBamski@lemmy.world to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 152 points – 3 months ago112Post a CommentPreviewYou are viewing a single commentView all commentsThe fact that they dug up Oliver Cromwell's body for a posthumous execution. It's just insane on so many levelsDid 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 😂No it was by trial and meant as punishment. Quite common even, but I first heard of it in relation to Cromwell c.s.
