He was later tried as a regicide in 1661 and died in the Fleet prison. The picture frame bears this legend: Did not a certain LADY whip, Of Late her husbands own Lordship? And though a grandee of the HOUSE, Claw’d him with FUNDAMENTAL blows, Ty’d him stark-naked to a bed-post, And firked his hide as if sh-had ri-post, And after in the SESSIONS Court, Where WHIPPING’s Judg’d had honor fort. Her husband, Sir William Monson, was second son of the first Baronet, and was created Viscount Monson in the Peerage of Ireland in 1628.
