I seem to remember a few people who wrote in blood to get their point across. Some were insane or depressed at the time.

There were well-witnessed and well-documented instances of this in 1638 in Scotland. A document called the "National Covenant" was drawn up, protesting against the King's imposition of a different style of worship with a new prayer book. The first copy of the covenant was signed by about 4000 people in Greyfriars Kirk on 28th February, 1638, and over 20 other copies were taken to various parts of the country to gather more signatures. Most people felt deeply and intensely that the king was acting wrongly, and some did indeed sign in blood (but probably just an X) to show how strong the feeling was.
