==Royal appointment== By 1529, Leland had returned to England. When Wolsey fell from the king's favour in that year, Leland appears to have sought the patronage of [[Thomas Cromwell, 1st Earl of Essex|Thomas Cromwell]], a relationship which would help explain his rising fortunes over the next few years. He was appointed one of the chaplains to King [[Henry VIII of England|Henry VIII]], who gave him the rectory of [[Peuplingues]] (Pepeling), in the marshes of [[Calais]] (though he may never have visited the place).<ref name=ODNB /><ref name=CarleyPetitmengin196 /> In 1533, Leland received [[papal dispensation]] for four benefices, on condition that he became [[subdeacon]] within two years and priest within seven.<ref name=ODNB /> He was appointed [[prebendary]] of [[Wilton Abbey]] in [[Wiltshire]] in 1535 and received two adjacent benefices.<ref name=ODNB /><ref name=CarleyPetitmengin197>Carley and Petitmengin, "Pre-Conquest manuscripts from Malmesbury Abbey", p. 197.</ref> Leland and [[Nicholas Udall]] composed verses to be read or recited at the pageant of [[Anne Boleyn]]'s arrival in London in 1533, which was staged for the occasion of her coronation.<ref name=CarleyPetitmengin197 /> Their common patron was probably Thomas, Duke of Norfolk and Cornwall.<ref name=ODNB /> The poets worked together again during 1533 and 1534, when Leland contributed verses for Udall's ''Floures for Latine Spekynge''.<ref name=ODNB />
