James of Jülich

James of Jülich

James of Jülich (d. 1392) was a Franciscan friar who, while falsely claiming to be a bishop, was sentenced by a tribunal of seven bishops to be boiled alive [http://www.identity-fraud-info.com/identity-fraud-history.htm] after it was discovered he had ordained a number of priests following his admittance as an auxiliary bishop by Floris van Wevelinkhoven, Bishop of Utrecht. However, despite the scandal caused, his sentence was later mitigated in execution [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07698b.htm] .
