Henry Nevil Payne

Henry Nevil Payne

Henry Nevil Payne (?—1710?) was a dramatist and agitator for the Roman Catholic cause in Scotland and England. He wrote "The Fatal Jealousie" (1673), "The Morning Ramble" (1673), and "The Siege of Constantinople" (1675). After he finished writing plays, he was heavily involved in the Montgomery Plot in 1689, and was captured and put to torture on December 10, 1690. (This was the last occasion in which a political prisoner was tortured in Britain.) He was finally released in February 1701, and commenced further plotting. His fate is unknown; Montague Summers's "The Works of Aphra Behn" suggests 1710 for his death date, but offers no cite.
