	'''Roderigo''' (or '''Rodrigo''') '''Lopez''' (c. 1517 – 7 June 1594), served ~~as physician-in-chief to~~ Queen [[Elizabeth I of England\|Elizabeth I]] from 1581 until ~~his death by execution~~, ~~having been found guilty~~ of ~~plotting~~ to poison her.		'''Roderigo''' (or '''Rodrigo''') '''Lopez''' (c. 1517 – 7 June 1594), was a [[Portugal\|Portuguese]] [[Doctor\|physician]] who served Queen [[Elizabeth I of England\|Elizabeth I]] from 1581 until he was executed on charges of plotting to [[poison]] her. A ''{{Wiki\|converso}}'' resident of {{Wiki\|Coimbra}} in Catholic Portugual, he studied medicine at its {{Wiki\|University of Coimbra\|university}} until the {{Wiki\|Portuguese Inquisition}} accused him of {{Wiki\|Crypto-Judaism\|secretly}} practicing [[Judaism]], which prompted him to leave for [[London]], [[England]] and convert again to {{Wiki\|Anglicanism}}.<ref name="Wiki">{{WP\|Roderigo Lopes}}</ref> In 1562, Lopez was appointed to [[St. Bartholomew's Hospital]], where he eventually became the Queen's chief physician.<ref name="database">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'' – [[Database: St. Bartholomew's Hospital]]</ref> However, in January 1594, Elizabeth's {{Wiki\|favourite}} {{Wiki\|Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex}}<ref name="Wiki"/> accused Lopez of attempting to poison her and ordered his arrest.<ref name="database"/>

	~~In 1562, Lopez was appointed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Eventually, he became Queen~~ Elizabeth ~~I's chief physician. However~~, ~~in 1594~~, he was ~~arrested for attempting~~ to ~~poison the Queen, and was~~ hanged, drawn, and quartered in June ~~of that year~~. The scandal, combined with Lopez's Jewish origins, reignited a trend of Jewish villains in theatre, including ~~a revival of~~ [[Christopher Marlowe]]'s ''{{Wiki\|The Jew of Malta\|The Famous Tragedy of the Rich Jew of Malta}}'' and ~~most notable,~~ [[William Shakespeare]]'s ~~writing of~~ ''{{Wiki\|The Merchant of Venice}}''.		Although Elizabeth delayed sighing his {{Wiki\|death warrant}} for three months, suggesting that she may have doubted the quality of evidence against him, he was eventually found guilty in February<ref name="Wiki"/> and sentenced to being {{Wiki\|hanged, drawn and quartered}} in June. The scandal, combined with Lopez's Jewish origins, reignited a trend of {{Wiki\|Stereotypes of Jews\|Jewish villains}} in theatre, with notable examples including the [[merchant]] Barabas in [[Christopher Marlowe]]'s 1589 play ''{{Wiki\|The Jew of Malta\|The Famous Tragedy of the Rich Jew of Malta}}'' and the moneylender {{Wiki\|Shylock}} in [[William Shakespeare]]'s 1590s play ''{{Wiki\|The Merchant of Venice}}''.<ref name="database"/>
