Gauthier of Bruges

It is related that a Franciscan monk, made a bishop by Pope Nicholas III., and deposed by Clement V., appealed to God against his deposition, and asked that he should be buried with his act of appeal in his hand. Some time after his death, Pope Clement V., visited Poitiers, and, finding himself one day in a Franciscan monastery, asked to see the remains of him whom he had deposed. He caused the tomb to be opened, and was horrified to see Gauthier of Bruges presenting his act of appeal, with a withered hand.
