March 1668: "The pleasant story of [Captain] H[enry] Killigrew is that
he opiated the mother and the daughter, and then ravished the daughter
for which he was condemned to the gallows, but by the great mediation of
the Queen Mother & Madame he is only banished."
It seems Captain Henry Killigrew was always getting into trouble, or close by when trouble happened.
8 February 1667: "Mr Henry Killigrew's
servant was t'other night stabb'd in the next room to his Majesty, 'tis
said he killed himself, but others suspect the master who was in the
room with him drunk, some say alone, some say there was a third person
however, Mr Killigrew is confined to his chamber".
25 October
1666: "H[enry] Killigrew is banished the Court for raw words spoken
against a lady of pleasure, but it's thought will return again."
1667: Killegrew gets into trouble with the Duke of Buckingham at the theatre:
"H Killigrew being in the next box to the Duke of Buckingham at a play
drolled with him and made fun at him and spake scurvy language to him
insomuch that the Duke told him he might govern his tongue and his face
better."
Killigrew left and tried to get "Vaughan" to challenge
the Duke. Vaughan refused and Killigrew returned and "stroke the Duke
times on the head with his sword in the scabbard and then ran away most
noble over the boxes and the Duke after him and cut him well favouredly,
he crying, 'Good, your Grace, spare my life' and fell down, some say to
beg for his life but certainly the Duke kicked him. The Duke lost his
wig in the pursuit for a while".
