==Biography==
Twisleton was the son of John Twisleton of Aula Barrow, Yorkshire. He was a lieutenant colonel in the parliamentary army and distinguished himself at the siege of Denbigh Castle. He was one of General Mytton's commissioners for receiving the surrender of the castle on 14 October 1646. He was made governor of Denbigh and ruled with a firm hand until the Restoration in 1660. He was appointed commissioner to manage the affairs of Denbighshire in May 1648 and was sworn a burgess of Denbigh in September 1648. He was elected to the common council, and became alderman in 1648. He was one of the High Court of Justice for the trial of King Charles on 1 January 1649 and a commissioner for sequestration in North Wales on 118 February 1650. He was given a commission by the Council of State on 18 August 1651 to raise a troop of horses in North Wales and was ordered to march his regiment to Barnet to join Cromwell on 20 August 1651.〔( W R Williams ''The Parliamentary History of the Principality of Wales'' )〕
In 1654 Twisleton was elected Member of Parliament for Anglesey in the First Protectorate Parliament. He was re-elected in 1656 for the Second Protectorate Parliament and in 1659 for the Third Protectorate Parliament. He served on several parliamentary committees. After the Restoration he was disfranchised from the council of Denbigh and retired to Clynnog where he spent the rest of his life in seclusion.〔
Twisleton died at the age of 48 and was buried in Clynnog Church.〔
