Richard Puller von Hohenburg

Manuscript depiction of the burning of Puller and his servant Anton Mätzler outside the walls of Zürich for sodomy, in 1482. Illustration from the Grosse Burgunderchronik of Diebold Schilling. The depiction of the execution in front of the city walls is inaccurate, as Puller was actually burned in Zürich's market square, inside the walls.[1]

Richard Puller von Hohenburg (died 24 September 1482) was a 15th-century Alsatian and Swiss nobleman and knight. He is notable for his homosexual liaisons, his strategic avoidance of prosecution, and later execution for his homosexuality.
