	William Prynne - LoveToKnow 1911
		WILLIAM PRYNNE (1600-1669), English parliamentarian, son of Thomas Prynne by Marie Sherston, was born at Swainswick near Bath in 1600.
		In the third session Prynne was once more, on the 13th of May 1664, censured for altering the draft of a bill relating to public-houses after commitment, but the house again, upon his submission remitted the offence, and he again appears on the committee of privileges in November and afterwards.
		Prynne died unmarried, in his lodgings at Lincoln's Inn, on the 24th of October 1669, and was buried in the walk under the chapel there.

		When Prynne’s strictures on the theater in his book, Historiomastix (1632), were interpreted as an attack on Charles I and his queen, he was fined, imprisoned (1633), pilloried (1634), and partly shorn of his ears.
		During the English civil war, Prynne strongly supported the parliamentary cause in his writings and took a vindictive part in prosecuting his old enemy, Laud.
		Prynne entered Parliament in 1648; but he opposed the demand of the army for the execution of Charles I and so was expelled in Pride’s Purge.

	Laud and Prynne
		Prynne was a barrister: he was condemned to be disbarred, to be pilloried in Westminster and Cheapside, to have an ear cut off at each place, to pay a fine of £5000 to the king, and to be imprisoned for life.
		Prynne again libelled the prelacy; was again tried, and again sentenced; and the judge, perceiving that fragments of his ears still remained, ordered them to be unmercifully cut off, and further condemned him to be burnt in the cheek, enormously fined, and imprisoned in a distant solitude.
		Prynne, seeing me safe in bed, falls first to my pockets, to rifle them — it was expressed in the warrant that he should search my pockets — I arose, got my gown upon my shoulders, and he held me in the search till past nine in the morning.

	William Prynne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Prynne (1600 - October 24, 1669) was a Puritan opponent of the church policy of Archbishop of Canterbury William Laud.
		He was able to have the satisfaction of overseeing the trial of William Laud, which eventually ended in the latter's execution.
		The tide of opinion was moving fast, and Prynne, having been at the forefront of radical opposition, now found himself a conservative figure, defending Presbyterianism against the Independents favoured by Oliver Cromwell and the army.

	Histriomastix
		The Histriomastix by William Prynne was published in 1632, although it had been in preparation by its author for almost ten years prior to its final printing.
		Its Puritan theology was in any case unwelcome to the ecclesiastical authorities led by the Archbishop of Canterbury William Laud, but its attack on women actors as "notorious whores" was taken as a direct reference to Queen Henrietta Maria who was appearing in a play at court.
		Prynne had to appear before the Star Chamber and sentenced in 1633 to be pilloried, branded, imprisoned for life and was fined £5,000.

		William Prynne (1600-1699) was educated at Bath Grammar School and Oriel College, Oxford, and was admitted as a barrister to Lincoln's Inn in 1621, but it is impossible to briefly sum up his career as Prynne seems to have gone through his entire life alienating people in authority.
		In his violent denunciation of the theatre, Prynne was accused of an attack on the King, Charles I, and the Queen, Henrietta Maria, who was fond of drama and often acted in plays at the Court.
		Prynne continued his paper warfare, attacking Laud, then the independents, surprisingly defending the role of the House of Lords, and when he became a member of Parliament opposing the execution of Charles.

		In 1896, Prynne was approached to rebuild the church of Saint John the Evangelist in Sidcup, which was completely rebuilt in 1898 to 1901, with the exception of the original chancel and the spire, because the funding ran out, (a common problem with many Prynne churches).
		In 1915, Prynne's design for Colombo Cathedral was accepted, however, the first world war interrupted the building, which was not to be completed until after his death, under the supervision of his remaining son Harold Fellowes Prynne, who was practising as an architect in Madras.

		William Prynne was a contentious Puritan attorney who is remembered both for his numerous books and pamphlets about legal history, religion and politics, and for his ability to antagonize others.
		He then wrote a large book against stage plays which was published in 1632 and entitled Histriomastix, which purported to show that plays were unlawful, incentives to immorality and condemned by scripture, the Church fathers and even the wisest of pagans.
		This earned him the enmity of William Laud, the archbishop of Canterbury and he was fined, pilloried, lost his ears and jailed as it was felt he had cast aspersions on the king and queen.

		Prynne strikes directly at King Charles and Queen Henrietta Maria, who regularly danced in court masques (see NAEL 8, 1.1326), through his several stories of kings and magistrates who met untimely ends after encouraging or participating in theatrical productions.
		Some of the remarks, especially about "women actors, notorious whores" and "scurrilous amorous pastorals," were thought to refer directly to the queen, who produced as well as acted in several masques and pastorals.
		In consequence, Prynne was immediately imprisoned and a year later stripped of his academic degrees, ejected from the legal profession, and placed in the pillory at Westminster and Cheapside; his books were burned before him, his ears were partially cut off, and he was remanded to life imprisonment (though later released by Parliament).
