In 1597 Ben Jonson was imprisoned for writing a seditious play.

In 1599 he was imprisoned for murdering a fellow actor called Gabriel Spencer, whom he killed in a duel. He would have been hanged but for his plea of the benefit of clergy, by which he claimed to be a Christian Cleric, and thus was sent to gaol.
