Some months later his successor, Stephen Stephen VI, convened the infamous "Cadaver Synod" for which Formosus' body was disinterred, clad in papal vestments, and tried for crimes against the church.

The verdict was that Formosus had been unworthy to be pope. All his measures and acts were annulled and all orders he had conferred were declared invalid.
