Medieval Peege doth not like being treated like a Damsel in Distress

[aeka]

And even less so in Shakespearean English.



Oh Peege. Your badassery back then may have actually started the Inquisition instead. :<

I actually wasn't familiar with that aspect to the story. The version I had in my head (which, doing some research, I might have conflated with the basic idea of that story, and that Pope they dug up because they suspected foul play and found a suspiciously nail-shaped hole in his head) was Cardinal gets elected Pope, reigns for umptity-ump years, dies, after death, examination of the body reveals, "Oh snap, a Popess!" with the result that the Catholics design a chair with holes to check for dangly bits in their future popes (also apparently not true, and Catholicism gets a little less hilarious). Thanks for enlightening me!
