The BOILING ALIVE Of Richard Roose - The Tudor Poisoning Cook

Throughout Henry VIII’s reign as the King of England, the Tudor Monarch would sentence thousands of people to death in many horrifying ways. One of the most brutal execution methods deployed by Henry was hanging, drawing and quartering. People were paraded behind a horse being dragged through the streets and they were then sentenced to a disgusting ordeal at places such as Tyburn in front of blood thirsty crowds. But in 1531 there was a crowd that were gathered at Smithfield a traditional place of burning at the stake, and they would witness an execution which would haunt them until the day they died.
