the corpse of Pope Formosus was tried by Pope Stephen VI in the 9th century.
for starters, anatomy challenged the worldview that the pope, and his organization stood for. The pope feared critical thought.
Ezio, Leonardo, the pazzi family, the pope (became pope in 1942), the borgia family, the royal family from constantinople
Both claimed the exclusive right to name new bishops.
No, he was sort of disappointed when he was not emplyed by the Pope, but he got other employment.
The Swiss Guard have been serving as the Pope's security since 1506. Their uniforms were designed by Leonardo DiVinci.
One of Leonardo's patrons was Beatrice d'Este.By:Wilfred Castro ;)
"As a young man Leonardo was arrested for engaging in sodomy. At that time in Florence the punishment for this crime included fines, exile, branding, or even execution. Luckily for Leonardo, another man accused with him also happened to have strong connections to the influential Medici family. The charges were soon dropped against both of them." - National Geographic
A:Pope Stephen VI, the successor to the late Pope Formosus, set up a solemn trial of his corpse, which was dragged from the tomb where had been for eight months and dressed again in its sacerdotal robes, to be brought into the council chamber and propped up in the throne. In a parody of legal form, the corpse was provided with a counsel, who wisely kept silent while Pope Stephen raved and screamed insults at it.The corpse was stripped and the three fingers of benediction were hacked off the right hand. It was then dragged through the palace and hurled to the yelling mob in the streets, who in turn dragged it to the Tiber and threw it in. Later that year, Stephen was seized and strangled by the Romans because of the mock trial.
No one today can really say. Artists during his time were commissioned by wealthy patrons to create art. The Pope and the Church were major patrons of Leonardo, and so we see Biblical themes in his work.
Julius II, Leo X, Clement VII and Paul III.
In 1513 Leonardo went to Rome, probably hoping that the new pope, Leo X, would employ him. However Raphael was painting the Stanze in the Vatican and Leo commissioned Michelangelo to work in Florence. So Leonardo left Rome. Maybe this makes Raphael and Michelangelo his rivals?
