Sir John Salusbury
1604 (31 July) receipt on plain paper for £30 received from Sir John Lloyd "Upon one Privy Seale to him directed for lone thereof to his Majesties use". Signed by John Salusbury to the bottom right corner where there is a tear in the paper (possibly to mark that the Privy Seal has been paid). Paper shows signs of ageing.



Sir John Salusbury (1567-1612) a Welsh knight, politician, poet from Lleweni, Denbigh, and brother of Thomas Salusbury who was executed in 1586 for his involvement in the Babington Plot against Elizabeth I. Salusbury had a tumultuous time in local politics in Denbigh; his appointment as Deputy Lieutenant of Denbigh was blocked in 1597 by local opposition, but was finally elected as MP for the county in 1601 only three days before Parliament ended.

Sir John Lloyd (1560-1606), was a Welsh politician and known opponent of Salusbury after having supported Salusbury's opposition, Sir Richard Trevor in 1601.
