In early 1531, Richard Roose (also Richard Rouse, Richard Cooke) was accused of poisoning members of the household of John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester for which he was subsequently boiled alive.

  • Richard Roose o Rouse (... – Londra, 5 aprile 1531) è stato un cuoco inglese di John Fisher vescovo di Rochester.Fu giustiziato per aver tentato di avvelenare il vescovo, e in quella occasione avvelenò diversi altri membri della famiglia. In risposta al crimine venne emanato un provvedimento che prevedeva l'esecuzione pubblica per bollitura a morte in un calderone. Fu il primo ad essere sottoposto a questo procedimento giudiziario nella legge inglese, che fu presto abrogato già sotto il regno di Edoardo VI (1547), e il suo caso conserva una particolare notorietà.
