From https://biography.wales/article/s-POYE-JOH-1649

His wife, Elizabeth, petitioned Charles II for a grant on the ground that her husband had lost £8,000 in the Royal cause. She was given a sum of £3,000, payable at the rate of £300 a year.

The remaining forces, besieged by Oliver Cromwell himself at Pembroke, surrendered on 11 July 1648, and Poyer, Laugharne and Powell were condemned to death. It was agreed that only one would face the firing squad, and the three men drew lots, with Poyer being the loser. He was executed at Covent Garden, London. Following the Restoration of the monarchy, his widow was paid a pension of £300 a year by King Charles II of England.
