The Emperor Constantine is supposed to have become a Christian in 312 AD and adopted Christianity as the state religion. In 326 he had his wife, Fausta, executed ... allegedly by being thrown into boiling water ... for having sex with Crispus, his son by his previous wife. I often wonder whether this had any influence on the increasingly violent nature of Christianity (which began a few decades later).
