Event detail for site: Penmon1536 : RequestSir Richard Bulkeley wrote to Thomas Cromwell on Prior John of Penmon's behalf. On 21 November Bulkeley wrote to Cromwell asking that Prior John Ingram of Penmon, who had been shut up in his house by the royal commissioners, Dr Elys Price and William Glyn, be shown favour. The commissioners had instructed the prior to send them the various documents which had been in Bulkeley's possession and which he now enclosed.
