The practicality of the people of the past is sometimes frightening.
The photo shows the bones of people of the 15th century. Archaeologists believe that they were taken out of the graves to free up space in the cemetery. Well, so that the material does not disappear, the bones were used in the construction of St. John's Church in Belgium.

Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard? Or maybe a pig trial is better?
Unfortunately, this seemingly ridiculous statement has too sad a story. In the Middle Ages, there were cases when a pig ate a small child left unattended. In France alone, from the 12th to the 15th century, animals were tried about 100 times. In 1386, in Normandy, a pig that ate a baby was cut off a piece of a wing, dressed in human clothes and hanged by a court decision.
