In 1307, the sleepy town of Hereford was awoken with an inquiry called by the Church to investigate whether a dead English bishop was actually a miracle-worker and should be made into a saint after performing several alleged miracles that included the resurrection of a hanged man, executed by the state and hanged twice just to make sure he was dead and he somehow came back to life. A papal court would use all the instruments of legal process - witness statements, forensic evidence, cross-examination - to prove whether it was truly a miracle. ©BBC
