Description
David Gonson (1510 – 12 July 1541), also known as David Gunston, was a Knight of Malta and Catholic martyr of the English Reformation.
Life
Sir David Gonson was born in Deptford, Kent, the son of William Gonson and his wife Bennett Walter. His was a naval family, with his father serving as a Vice-Admiral and well connected with the nobility. His father had been born in Melton Mowbray and his uncle, Bartholomew, served as a priest there, during which time he erected the Gonson Memorial in the church paying tribute to his parents. David Gonson was received into the Order of Malta at the English Auberge in Valletta on 20 October 1533.
He served on board ships of the Order in the Mediterranean until 1540 when he returned to England. As part of the actions taken during the Reformation, the Order was suppressed in England by King Henry VIII on 10 May 1540. Gonson refused to recognise the authority of the king in spiritual matters. The writ against him claimed that in Malta “He denied that King Henry was supreme head of the Church of England and that he called the King a heretic” with the accusation being laid by a fellow knight, Sir Philip Babington. For this he was imprisoned in the Tower of London and subsequently at Marshalsea Prison.
