Wikipedia

William Monson, 1st Viscount Monson (died c. 1672)[1] was one of the Regicides of King Charles I of England.[2][3]

William Monson was son of Sir Thomas Monson. He was created viscount Mouson of Castlemaine (Irish peerage) in 1628 and knighted in 1633. He was elected M.P. for Reigate in 1640. He was nominated as one of the king's judges, but only attended three sittings. After the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, he was sentenced by Parliament to degradation from his honours and titles and to be imprisoned for life. He died in the Fleet Prison around 1672.[3]
