'''Pope Stephen VII''' presided over the [[Synod Horrenda]] in 896 AD, when he took the body of his predecessor Pope Formosus and put him on trial for [[heresy]]. Since Formosus was dead, there was no stopping Stephen, and he ended up throwing the body into the [[Tiber]] river. Soon after the Synod, an [[earthquake]] toppled the Lateran [[basilica]], which led people to think that Stephen VII was an [[antipope]]. He ended up being strangled by a rival faction that same year.
