It might have been Stephen as pope, but it was Lambert, son of Gui, that had the body exhumed and tried. It was during the feudal years; Pope Formosus had tried to oust Lambert, whom he did not want to crown as emperor but was forced to. These were times of struggle between the emperors and popes. Stephen might have acted, but it was under the influence of Lambert and others. Misleading history!!!
