Although this has probably only happened two or three times, it seems to add a medieval touch to the spectrum of punishments.

She died in Rome at 86, alone except for a few passing strangers who had paid the janitor a penny for the privilege of watching her last throes. >Louis, the third of Napoleon's four brothers, was a double-gaited dandy who knew a thing or two about bad luck. His wife fell in love with his boy friend. To console himself, Louis wrote wispy verses...
