Francis Mansell was a Royalist merchant from Chichester who arranged for a boat to take Charles to France from Shoreham following his defeat at Worcester in 1651. He is due to receive a pension and armorial bearings when the King comes home:
There may just be another connection between Montague and Mansell, or this may just be a coincidence of names. See this history of a house called Rivenhall, and note the Mountague names near Sir Francis
Mansell had recently appealed to the King about his pension (£200 p.a. granted in 1661 but 'stayed four years ago') and on 22 February a warrant was issued for its continuation. His plea for a prize ship at Plymouth woth £180 presumably fell to the ground in consequence.
