Biographical History
Prynne published a pamphlet, Histriomastix (1632) in which he denounced female actors, at the same time Queen Henrietta Maria was participating in a court masque. This was considered an attack on the crown and he was found guilty of sedition, sentenced to have his ears cut off, fined £5000, and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Richard Chambers (1588?-1658) was an East India merchant who opposed the extra-Parliamentary tonnage and poundage levy of 1628, and was tried and condemned in the Star Chamber for refusing to pay the levy by saying that merchants in Turkey "had more encouragement" than merchants in England. He remained imprisoned for six years, and was imprisoned again in 1637 for refusing to pay ship money. He supported the Parliamentarians in the Civil War and held several offices under them in the 1640s, but lost them and was imprisoned by Parliament briefly in the late 1640s. He died impoverished at Hornsey in 1658.
The Star Chamber was a court existing in England from the 15th century until 1641. It exercised wide civil and criminal jurisdiction.
