Stanislaus, bishop of Krakow, spoke truth to power and was martyred for it. In 1079, Stanislaus excommunicated King Boleslaus II for his immoral personal life and public tyranny. In response the king ordered his soldiers to kill the bishop. According to tradition, when the royal guards hesitated to kill Stanislaus, whom they had trapped in a chapel, the king entered the sanctuary and murdered Stanislaus himself by hacking him to pieces.
