A.D. 1180. DISPUTE AS TO THE BISHOPRIC OF ST. ANDREW'S. 531 After this command had been fully complied with, the new emperor delivered him to other tormentors, who, scattering straw over him, set fire to his sides and burned him till the whole of his skin was contracted into wrinkles : after which they fastened him to the tails of horses, and then, dragging him through the midst of the city, when he was dead, cast his body outside thereof.
