The Innocent of Sibo
Legend has it that Pope Innocent drank the blood of a child in an attempt to revive him. The pope was involved in numerous moral, ethical, and financial scandals. In 1492 he became gravely ill and emaciated; three ten-year-old boys were given one gold coin to each in exchange for their blood,. which was then fed to the unconscious pope. Sadly, all three of the boys died from the procedure, and so did the sick pope.
