Edward Morgan (priest)

Edward Morgan (died 26 April 1642) was a Welsh Roman Catholic priest and martyr.

Later about 1632 he was condemned in the Star Chamber to have his ears nailed to the pillory for having accused certain judges of treason.

Immediately afterwards he was committed to the Fleet Prison in London, where he remained until a few days before his death on 26 April.

At the same time was condemned John Francis Quashet, a Scots Minim, who subsequently died in Newgate Prison.

A letter purporting to be Morgan's last, written at Newgate prison on 23 April and addressed to the King and Parliament, was published in London on the 29th.
