[Footnote 6: Henricus odio eam coepit habere: ideo
incarceravit eam, et concessit ut plerique vim ei inferrent;
immo filium hortans ut eam subagitaret, (Dodechin,
Continuat. Marian. Scot. apud Baron. A.D. 1093, No. 4.) In
the synod of Constance, she is described by Bertholdus,
rerum inspector: quae se tantas et tam inauditas
fornicationum spur citias, et a tantis passam fuisse
conquesta est, &c.; and again at Placentia: satis
misericorditer suscepit, eo quod ipsam tantas spurcitias
pertulisse pro certo cognoverit papa cum sancta synodo.
Apud Baron. A.D. 1093, No. 4, 1094, No. 3. A rare subject
for the infallible decision of a pope and council. These
abominations are repugnant to every principle of human
nature, which is not altered by a dispute about rings and
crosiers. Yet it should seem, that the wretched woman was
tempted by the priests to relate or subscribe some infamous
stories of herself and her husband.]
