    Who was imprisoned for killing Gabriel Spenser?

    Question #25122. Asked by Fred.

    Barrow boy

    Ben Jonson, the Elizabethan dramatist, who killed Gabriel Spencer (an actor) in a duel, though his blade was ten inches shorter than Spencer's. He was imprisoned and very nearly put to death. At the last moment, he was granted a reprieve and released, but his property was confiscated, and he was branded on the thumb.
