Sir Ralph Bulmer (d.1558) of Wilton in Yorkshire (present day Redcar and Cleveland), was an English knight and soldier active on the Scottish border and during the war of the Rough Wooing. Around 1535, Ralph married either Anne Aske, a co-heiress of Roger de Aske, or Anne Tempest a daughter of Sir John Tempest. Henry VIII granted them possessions of Marrick Priory. ==Pilgrimage of Grace to Solway Moss== Ralph's uncle, Sir John Bulmer, and his family were attainted of treason for their part in the Pilgrimage of Grace in June 1537. According to the inventory made by the crown officers, John's manor house at Bulmer was made of slate and greatly decayed. Ralph was a prisoner in the Tower of London in March 1538.〔''Letters & Papers, Henry VIII'', vol.12 part 2 (1891), nos.41, 44; vol.13 part 1 (1892), no.568.〕 He carved his name "RAVLEF BVLMAR 1537" in the Beauchamp Tower.〔Dick, William Robertson, ''Inscriptions and devices in the Beauchamp tower, Tower of London; with a short historical sketch'', (1853), p.9 & plate XXX.〕 Ralph was released and later restored to some of the family lands. In November, 1542, Ralph was a captain of a company of 100 men in the campaign against Scotland that culminated in the battle of Solway Moss. He was accompanied by Sir William Bulmer, who commanded 50 men. On his arrival, Lord Hertford was not pleased with the instructions Bulmer had brought him from the Duke of Norfolk to destroy the town of Jedburgh as he was ill-equipped for the task.〔''Letters & Papers, Henry VIII'', vol.17 (1900), no.1031〕 Ralph was credited with his colleague Ralph Eure and the garrisons of Berwick upon Tweed and Teviotdale with burning during November 1542; Coldingham; Reston; Ayton with 5 other places; Crochanshaws; Primeside with 6 other places; Coldstream town and Abbey; Scaythmure and other farmsteads belonging to it (which included Swinton and Swithmore).〔''Letters & Papers, Henry VIII'', vol.17 (1900), nos. 1157, 1162〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ralph Bulmer (soldier)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
