Nevertheless, after hearing depositions from various witnesses, Sigismund’s Council agreed upon a long indictment against John XXIII. Subsequently, he was charged with incest, sodomy, adultery, rape, and the assassination of Alexander V. Following a perfunctory trial he was found guilty, deposed, imprisoned and strangled to death. When his funerary procession passed through the streets of Rome bystanders tossed clumps of mud and stones at his coffin; and his burial was done in secret, safe from the rebuke of the locals. During his reign he had been “called by some the most depraved criminal who ever sat on the Papal Throne; guilty of almost every crime; as cardinal in Bologna, 200 maidens, nuns and married women fell victim to his amours; as Pope he violated virgins and nuns; lived in adultery with his brother’s wife; was guilty of sodomy and other nameless vices; bought the Papal Office; sold Cardinalates to children of wealthy families; and openly denied the future life.”
