Answer:
Milton was jailed and was awarded death penalty for being the suspect for the purveyor of sedition. He was called a traitor. However, he was exempted from the punishment because of his admirer Andrew Marvell.
Andrew Marvel being a Royalist poet, convinced Charles II that Milton was Innocent. Milton, however, lost most of his properties which mostly belonged to his wife in paying the fines.
