George Musket
Two of his brothers were also converted about the same time: Richard, who ultimately joined the Society of Jesus, and Thomas, who became a secular priest.He took the college oath on 3 November 1602, was ordained priest on 11 March 1606, and was sent to England in May 1607, but he was detained at Douay, where he was engaged for upwards of a year in teaching theology.A memorandum of the period states that Musket had several years before broken out of Wisbech Castle, had since been banished, and, having returned, had again been taken prisoner.On the intercession of Queen Henrietta Maria he was reprieved and afterwards pardoned, but only on the condition of his remaining in confinement during the King's pleasure.He was still a prisoner when he was chosen president of the English College of Douay in succession to Matthew Kellison, who died on 21 January 1641; but through the Queen's intercession he was released and banished.
