He killed three policemen
down in Memphis while in custody...
1:07:06

Pier del la Vigna was disgraced,
blinded and imprisoned.
1:08:17
Dante's pilgrim finds Pier del la Vigna
on the seventh level of the Inferno...
1:08:23
and, like Judas Iscariot,
he died by hanging.
1:08:26

depiction of the Crucifixion...
1:08:39
carved on an ivory box in Gaul
about A.D. 400.
1:08:43
It includes the death
by hanging of Judas...
1:08:48
his face upturned
to the branch that suspends him.
1:08:50
Here he is again on the doors
of the Benevento Cathedral...
1:08:53
this time
with his bowels falling out.
