Coventry, John

    0.01 sec.

Coventry, John (died 1682)

English politician. During a parliamentary debate on theatres in 1670 he indicated that King Charles II's interest was really in the female actors, for which he was attacked and had his nose slit. The subsequent Coventry Act of 1671 made such mutilations a capital offence. He was knighted in 1661.

Coventry fought as a Royalist in the English Civil War and became a member of Parliament in 1667.
