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. http://www.imagi-nation.com/moonstruck/clsc11.htm
