The Rice Chest

from High Crimes and History Hosted by Trevor Rhodes

How has mental illness affected history? In the case of the Crown Prince Sado, it's tragic. In 1762, the prince was sealed in a rice chest by his own father for eight days and left to die for his crimes. This is the tragic story of his mental illness that led to the death of dozens of innocents, all chronicled by his late widow.
