When Philip of Burgundy died, his wife Joanna refused to let him go. Literally. Refusing to part with her philandering husband, she viciously clung to the body.

Marcus Aurelius (largely known for his philosophy and humanitarianism) faced an interesting gladiator dilemma.

Afterward, she was obliged to bathe in his blood, do a quick cleanup, and then make love to her husband Marcus.
