At the age of 68, Pope Boniface the VIII was hit in the face with a heavy mailed fist and then imprisoned, where he neither ate nor drank for 48 hours. Rescued, he was alert and rational but a few days later unable to appear in public. In Italy he is sa id to have died of shame at being hit. He died 5 weeks after the blow, probably with alternating periods of drowsiness and delirium. It is suggested he died of a subdural haematoma.
68岁时，教皇博尼法斯八世脸部遭到戴着沉重铠甲的拳头重击，随后被囚禁，在那里他48小时不吃不喝。获救后，他神志清醒且思维正常，但几天后无法公开露面。在意大利，据说他因被打而羞愧致死。受重击5周后他去世，可能经历了嗜睡和谵妄交替的时期。有人认为他死于硬膜下血肿。
