S1, E1: Professor Robert Greenberg uncovers the mystery of how classical music composer Franz Joseph Haydn lost his head and didn’t get a funeral until more than a hundred years after his death. Haydn died shortly after midnight on May 31, 1809, and was initially buried on June 15. Vienna's new French leadership forbade any large gatherings, so Haydn couldn't receive the big funeral celebration that he had written he wanted in his will. Find out how he finally received his wish, 145 years after his death.
