John Milton was not imprisoned specifically for refusing to write for Charles II; rather, he faced imprisonment during the Interregnum because he was a prominent supporter of the Commonwealth and a vocal critic of the monarchy. After the Restoration in 1660, he was arrested but quickly released, largely due to the political climate and his prior contributions to the republican cause. His refusal to conform to royalist expectations, including writing in support of Charles II, reflected his commitment to his political beliefs rather than being the sole reason for his imprisonment.
