The Story of Corwin's Heart

Corwin was dug up, his chest was cut open and the heart was examined. To their surprise, it was found to be full of fresh blood. The doctors recommended it be removed and burned. But rather than do it there, they cut the heart out and paraded it to the village green where it was burned in front of the entire town. Afterward, the ashes were scooped up and placed in an iron pot. And then a deep hole was dug right there in the green. There's no record as to whether or not he survived.
