5. Milton was quite the ladies man. In fact, he was married quite a bit. In 1642 he married Mary Powell, who died in 1652. In 1656 he married Katherine Woodcock, who died in 1658. In 1663 he married Elizabeth Minshull who outlived him. There are indications that living with Milton was not easy. His first wife, who was much younger than him, lived most of their married life seperated from her husband. 4. Milton’s college nickname was “the Lady of Christ’s” and seems to refer to his pale complexion, beauty, and his delicate manners. John Milton could take the joke and was often noted for his wonderful sense of humor. 3. Milton’s Areopagitica, published in 1644, was a direct attack on censorship. At the time censorship was being exercised by the Court of Star Chamber until it was abolished in 1641. After a flood of pamphlets were disbursed, parliment reimposed the censorship in 1643. 2. Milton spent quite a bit of time traveling abroad. In doing so, it is widely believed that he met Galileo. In fact, Galileo is referenced in Paradise Lost. 1. Milton’s poem Lycidas was written as an elegy for a fellow poet and contemporary named Edward King. King drowned at sea in 1637.
