Lord John Lisle, "the Regicide."
Sir John Lisle was the son of Sir William Lisle and Bridget Hungerford who married in Ellingham, Hampshire, in 1598. John Lisle was a lawyer and a politician, graduating from Oxford in 1626 and called to the bar in 1633. He was elected MP for Winchester, and in Parliament he was chairman of the committee that investigated Cromwell's allegations against the Earl of Manchester in December 1644. In 1648 after the second civil war, John Lisle voted against continuing negotiations with the King. Shortly thereafter he was appointed a commissioner of the High Court of Justice for the trial of the King in January 1649. During the trial he acted in an advisory position and helped to draw up the King's sentence, but he was not a signatory of the King's death warrant. He then helped frame the new constitution for the Commonwealth, and was one of five appointed to the new Council of State. He was also made a commissioner of the Great Seal. In 1653 he administered the oath of office when Cromwell became Lord Protector, and became a member of the Upper House in 1657 ("Cromwell's House of Lords"). But the tide turned and in 1659 he was dismissed from office and forced to flee the country. In August 1664, as he was leaving service at the Church of Lausanne, Switzerland, John Lisle was shot dead by an Irish Royalist named Sir James Fitz Edmond Cotter, known by the alias Thomas MacDonnell (one reference says Sept. 14, 1664).
He was buried in the churchyard where he was killed (ref., The Dictionary of National Biography).
A miniature portrait of Sir John Lisle's wife, the lady Alice Lisle, which he carried with him, is now in the Museum of Switzerland.

The earliest generations of the Lisle pedigree are given in various sources which don't always agree but go back into antiquity. John Lisle was a descendant of sir John Lisle who died in 1407, his likeness in brass being the earliest representation of full armor as well as the earliest likeness of any Lisle.
