 John Batmanson

John Batmanson (died 1531), was prior of the Charterhouse in London.Batmanson studied theology at Oxford, but there is no evidence of his having taken a degree in that faculty, ‘though supplicate he did to oppose in divinity.’ Whether the John Batemanson, LL.D., who was sent to Scotland in 1509 to receive James IV's oath to a treaty with England, and who acted on several commissions to examine cases of piracy in the north of England from that date until 1516, is the same man, is doubtful, but probable, as the name is by no means a common one.
