CALENDARS.
Instructions to Editors.
The Master of the Rolls desires to call the attention of the Editors of
Calendars to the following considerations with a view to secure uniformity
of plan in the important works on which they are engaged: —
He is anxious to extend, as far as is consistent with proper economy and
despatch, the utility of the Calendars of State Papers now publishing under
his control : 1st. As the most efficient means of making the national archives
accessible to all who are interested in historical inquiries ; 2nd. As the best
justification of the liberality and munificence of the Government in throwing
open these papers to the public, and providing proper catalogues of their
contents at the national expense.
The greater number of the readers who will consult and value these works
can have little or no opportunity of visiting the Public Record Office, in
which these papers are deposited. The means for consulting the originals
must necessarily be limited when readers live at a distance from the metro-
polis; still more if they are residents of Scotland, Ireland, distant colonies,
or foreign states. Even when such an opportunity does exist, the difficulty
of mastering the original hands in which these papers are written will deter
many readers from consulting them. Above all, their great variety and
number must present formidable obstacles to literary inquirers, however
able, sanguine, and energetic, when the information contained in them is
not made accessible by satisfactory Calendars.
The Master of the Rolls considers that, without superseding the necessity
of consulting the originals, every Editor ought to frame his Calendar in such
a manner that it shall present, in as condensed a form as possible, a correct
index of the contents of the papers described in it. He considers that the
entries should be so minute as to enable the reader to discover not only
the general contents of the originals, but also what they do not contain. If
the information be not sufficiently precise, if facts and names be omitted or
concealed under a vague and general description, the reader will be often
misled, he will assume that where the abstracts are silent as to information
to be found in the documents, such information does not exist ; or he will
have to examine every original in detail, and thus one great purpose will
have been lost for which these Calendars have been compiled.
6. Wt. 16466 a
As the documents are various, the Master of the Rolls considers that they
will demand a corresponding mode of treatment. The following rules are
to be observed : —
1st. All formal and official documents, such as letters of credence, war-
rants, grants, and the like, should be described as briefly as possible.
2nd. Letters and documents referring to one subject only should be cata-
logued as briefly as is consistent with correctness. But when they contain
miscellaneous news, such a description should be given as will enable a
reader to form an adequate notion of the variety of their contents.
3rd. Wherever a letter or paper is especially difficult to decipher, or the
allusions more than ordinarily obscure, it will be advisable for the Editor to
adhere, as closely as is consistent with brevity, to the text of the document.
He is to do the same when it contains secret or very rare information.
4th. Where the Editor has deciphered letters in cipher, the decipher may
be printed at full length. But when a contemporary or authorised decipher
exists it will be sufficient to treat the cipher as an ordinary document.
5th. Striking peculiarities of expression, proverbs, manners, &c., are to be
noticed.
6th. Original dates are to be given at the close of each entry, that the
reader may know the exact evidence by which the marginal dates are
determined.
7th. Where letters are endorsed by the receivers and the date of their
delivery specified, these endorsements are to be recorded.
8th. The number of written pages of each document is to be specified, as
a security for its integrity, and that readers may know what proportion the
abstract bears to the original.
9th. The language of every document is to be specified. If, however, the
greater part of the collection be in English, it will be sufficient to denote
those only which are in a different tongue.
10th. Where documents have been printed, a reference should be given to
the publication.
11th. Each series is to be chronological.
12th. The Prefaces of Editors, in explanation of documents in the volume,
are not to exceed fifty pages, unless the written permission of the Master of
the Kolls to the contrary be obtained.
•* *
V Editors employed in foreign archives are to transcribe at full length
important and secret papers.

PREFACE.
THIS volume, containing the Papers of the year 1542,
continues the story of Henry YIII.'s reign from the
tragedy of Katharine Howard to the battle of the Sol-
way Moss and the death of James V. of Scotland.
It was in Parliament, as we have already seen, that
the fate of Katharine Howard was to be determined.
Parliament opened on the 16 January. The Lord
Chancellor delivered a very long opening speech,1 in
the course of which he commented severely on the Queen's
offences ; and according to the Imperial Ambassador (in a
letter dated at the end 29th January), the Lords had
found her and the Lady Rochford guilty of high treason
four days before he wrote, that is, as we should suppose, on
the 25th. Their judgment moreover, according to Chapuys,
was to be laid before the Commons two days after he wrote,
i.e., on the 31 st. But in the very next sentence he adds that
the Commons had already that morning agreed with the
judgment of the Lords on the Queen and three other ladies
implicated with her.2 All this is certainly inaccurate, and
the real truth of the matter can only be ascertained by a
reference to the Lords' Journals. There we find that the
Bill of Attainder was first read on Saturday the 21st, and
that a week afterwards, viz. on the 28th, the Lord Chancellor
advised their Lordships not to proceed further until some
1 A speech longer than could be written out in three hours or read through in
one. See Lords' Journals I. 164.

but Lady Rochford was the only one found guilty of high treason. The Duchess of
Norfolk and Lady Bridgewater were found guilty of misprision only.

very special steps had been taken, apparently to make the
Queen commit herself more fully. Delegates from both
houses were to go to her at Syon House (for she had not
yet been lodged in the Tower), and by endeavouring to
reassure her,1 were to urge her to declare to them whatever
she thought might benefit her cause.
Now it would seem that Chapuys's letter, though dated at
the end 29th January (the day after it was proposed to send
delegates from the two Houses to the Queen), must have been
begun some time before, — apparently on the 25th, four days
after the bill was read a first time in the Lords ; and that it
was already known that within two days (or perhaps three)
a resolution of the Peers would be laid before the Commons.
But this resolution, when passed, was not a formal conviction
of Katharine Howard.2 It was only for some joint action to
be taken by the two Houses ; and it must have been after
a few days' interval that Chapuys resumed the pen when
the Commons had agreed to this joint action, which
apparently he took to be the formal condemnation of the
Queen and ladies.
At all events, it is quite certain that on the 28th, four
delegates were appointed by the Lords, viz. the Archbishop
of Canterbury, Suffolk, Southampton, and the Bishop of
Westminster ; but on the Monday following (the 30th), the
Chancellor reported reasons why the Privy Council had
delayed their going to the Queen. That day they and the
Commons both waited on the King, who, after separate
interviews with each, called them both together before him
and made them an address. It was not till Monday, the 6th
February, that the second reading of the bill took place in
1 " Partim ut causam repetant, partim ut muliebrem adiment timiditatem."
2 Chapuys, however, again refers to it in his next letter, dated the 9 February, as
a condemnation of the Queen and the other ladies by Parliament. App. B. 6.

the Lords ; but apparently many questions were raised and
the debate adjourned ; for the Journals again record a
" second " reading next day. The third reading followed
on the Wednesday, when the bill was delivered to the
King's Attorney to be carried to the Commons. There it
was very soon passed through all its stages ; and it received
the royal assent on the llth.1
By the same Act by which the Queen and Lady Rochford
were condemned as guilty of high treason, the Duchess
Dowager of Norfolk, the Countess of Bridge water, and
various other persons were attainted of misprision, and
sentenced to perpetual imprisonment, with confiscation of
all their property.2 The Queen and Lady Rochford
were executed on the 13 February after making full con-
fession of their offences.3 The story of the last days of
Katharine Howard, reported by Chapuys to the Emperor, is
of particular interest.4 As to those who had been found
guilty of misprision in connection with her offences, Lady
William Howard and eight others, mostly women, received
pardons on the last day of February ;5 but Lord William
was still kept in prison, and the Duchess of Norfolk likewise,
till the 5 May, when she, too, received a pardon.6 Lord
William was only released and pardoned in the end of
August.7
Parliament was likewise occupied with a good deal of
more ordinary business, such as the regulation of various
industries and the improvement of legal processes. But the
Act for Katharine Howard's attainder was specially remark-
able for one clause, which declared it treason in future for

any woman to marry the King if her life had been unchaste
beforehand.1
It was in this Parliament that the privilege enjoyed by
members of freedom from arrest for debt was definitely
settled by the judgment pronounced in the celebrated case of
Ferrers. The action taken by the King's Council on this
subject is shown in No. 221. But the full particulars of the
case are given in Holinshed's Chronicle3 as the result of
special inquiry, and deserve more consideration than they have
even yet received from constitutional historians. Evidently
the Sheriffs of London were unconscious of violating any
legal privileges, though members had always been accus-
tomed to claim immunity even for their menial servants.3
Their own claim rested upon their being servants of the
Crown engaged in the King's business. So the Sheriffs
were compelled to release their prisoner from the Counter,
and were themselves committed to the Tower for daring to
rrest a man engaged in the King's service in Parliament,
a
As usual, the Convocation of the Clergy of the Province of
Canterbury met soon after the Parliament in January, and
1 Katharine Howard herself apparently would not have been condemned but for
adultery after her marriage. Her former offences would have been sufficient ground
for a divorce, but no more. 2 Vol. III. 995-6.
3 According to Holinshed, the King himself, in declaring his opinion of the case
before the Lord Chancellor and Judges, made use of these words :— " For I understand
" that you, not only for your own persons, but also for your necessary servants, even to
" your cooks and horsekeepers, enjoy the said privilege, inasmuch as my Lord
" Chancellor, here present, hath informed us that, he being Speaker of the Parliament,
" the cook of the Temple was arrested in London, and in execution upon a statute of
" the Staple. And forasmuch as the said cook, during all the Parliament, served the
" Speaker in that office, he was taken out of execution by the privilege of the Parlia-
" ment. And, further, we be informed by our judges that we at no time stand so
" highly in our Estate Boyal as in the time of Parliament, wherein we as head, and
" you as members, are conjoined and knit together into one body politic, so as what-
" ever offence or injury (during that time) is offered to the meanest member of the
" House is to be judged as done against our person and the whole Court of Farlia-
" ment. Which, prerogative of the Crown is so great (as our learned counsel
" informeth us) as all acts and processes coming out of any other inferior Courts
" must for the time cease and give place to the highest." In the time of Henry
VI., as appears by the report of the Judges to the Lords, it was usual, when a
member was arrested for any matter not touching the peace, for him to " make
an attorney," and obtain his release on thus giving security for the debt (Bolls of
Parlt. v. 240). Evidently there was no such course pursued in this case. The
House of Commons, which existed to do the King's work, was encouraged by the
Court to make the most of its privileges. Some valuable remarks on the case will
be found in Hatsell's "Precedents,"
early in February the question was brought before them
whether the Great Bible which Cromwell had authorised for
use in churches could be retained without scandal. The
majority were against it, and considered that the book should
be withdrawn until the text had undergone a thorough
revision by comparison with the Vulgate. Committees were
accordingly appointed to examine the book in sections. But
owing, no doubt, to the inconvenience and expense of re-
calling what had been done, the King took the matter into
his own hands, and on the 10 March the Archbishop
announced in his name that the book would be submitted to
the two Universities. Two days later a patent was given to
Anthony Marlar, haberdasher, of London, granting him the
sole right of printing the Bible during the next four years/
On the 29 January, not the day of Katharine Howard's
condemnation, as Chapuys considered it, but the day, no
doubt, when it was virtually decided how to deal with
her, the King recovered his lost spirits, and gave a great
supper, with 26 ladies at his table, and 35 others at a table
close by. He was seen to be particularly attentive to one
who was a sister of Lord Cobham, and also of the divorced
wife of Sir Thomas Wyatt ; and there were two other ladies
spoken of, for each of whom he seemed to have a considerable
fancy. One of these was Anne Basset, daughter of Lord
Lisle ; and it was believed to be owing to her attractions
that her father was at this time liberated from the Tower,
a mercy so unexpected that the poor man, it is said, died
of joy.2
1 Nos. 124, 176, 220 (45;. No. 177 appears to be misplaced in this volume. It
would seem to be a draft proclamation, never issued, but drawn up originally in Novem-
ber, 1540, to promote the sale of Grafton's Bible, just finished at that date. In
January following Grafton was sent to prison for printing Melanchthon's letter
(see Vol. XVI., Nos. 422, 424), and he was never afterwards emp oyed to print the
Bible.
2 This is stated by Herbert, who says the King, in ordering his release, sent
him a diamond ring and a gracious message. He certainly lived only a few days
after his release. — No. 145

But it was not supposed that the King was thinking
now of any new matrimonial arrangement. He lacked not
councillors, indeed, who would urge him, but he had not
forgotten his recent mortification, and it was curiously
remarked by Chapuys that few, if any, ladies at his own
Court would now aspire to be his wife, as any subject who
became so in future would, under the new law, have to
declare, on pain of death, before she married him, if she
had been guilty of any improper intimacies. Besides, he
had begun to look old and grey, and was daily becoming
more and more heavy and corpulent.1
Still his spirits improved, not only in prospect of
Katharine's condemnation, but still more after her execu-
tion, and before Lent set in (22 February) he had a
round of banqueting. But whatever ladies he might take
up with hereafter, Chapuys could assure the Emperor he
saw not the slightest appearance of his taking back Anne
of Cleves.2
In diplomacy he was what he had always been. During
the first half of this year he was continually pursuing his
old foreign policy of encouraging the mutual suspicions of
the Emperor and Francis, and getting each of them to bid
against the other for his alliance. And on the whole it
was not difficult to pursue the game with France, especially
with the aid of such a diplomatist as Marillac. But the
relations of England and the Emperor at this time require
a little explanation, for which it will be necessary to go back
upon the story of the preceding year, and even to the end
of the year 1540. The dispute about Customs' duties
with the Low Countries3 was still unsettled. But this
was a minor matter. Bishop Gardiner's mission to the
Emperor in November, 1540,4 had evidently more important

objects. He was despatched, as shown in the last volume,
along with Sir Henry Knyvet, who was to remain as resi-
dent Ambassador when he returned ; and it was expected
that he would be away for only two months, but his " diets "
were paid to him in advance for four.1 His principal
business, however, was one which could not be accomplished
even in four months ; for, as Granvelle perceived from the
first, it was to follow the Emperor to the Diet at Ratisbon
and prevent too easy an agreement being made between him
and the Protestants.2 His presence in Germany, therefore.
was not welcome, and even in the Low Countries the
Emperor avoided receiving him and Knyvet till Christmas
Day.3 The Diet of Ratisbon, originally fixed for January,
did not meet till April, and the Pope was sending Cardinal
Contarini to be present at it, with great hope not only of
reconciling the Protestants, but also of promoting an agree-
ment between the Emperor and Francis. And, indeed,
neither object at that time seemed hopeless ; for the Emperor,
after giving audience to Gardiner, sent Gardiner's commission
into France to be shown to the French King, so as to avoid
mistrust.4 The Protestants, too, were in such good humour
that they allowed the Emperor, on his way to Ratisbon, to
enter Nuremberg with an armed retinue, whereas no former
Emperor, it was said, had ever been permitted to occupy one
of the Imperial castles in such fashion.5 Things looked
serious for the object of Gardiner's mission, and at Nuremberg
he addressed himself to Granvelle, offering to assist the
Catholic cause at the Diet, and regretting that the Emperor
made so little account of his King. Granvelle answered that
such a complaint was unfounded ; the Emperor had shown

to be a good translation ; for apparently the French word " terres " in the original is
used, as the Italian terre was, for castles or walled towns.

Henry even too much consideration, seeing that he had
divorced the Emperor's aunt, and repudiated the Pope's
authority, which all Christians ought to respect. Yet the
Emperor had several times offered to sue at the Pope's feet
for his pardon, if Henry himself would have returned to his
obedience, and he even now was willing on those terms to do
his best for him, seeing that Cromwell, who was the cause of
all the mischief, was removed. Gardiner, who could not
deny ' the mischief done by Cromwell, was at a loss what to
answer, except to say that it was a capital offence for an
Englishman to propose the King's reconciliation with Rome.1
Gardiner, however, reported this conference to the King,
and so great seemed the likelihood of Catholics and Pro-
testants at that time coming to an agreement, and the latter
recognising the Pope's authority,2 that it was really a
question whether Henry, with all his obstinacy, would not
be driven to avail himself of the Emperor's offer to procure
his pardon from the Holy See. Nay, he actually instructed
Gardiner to thank Granvelle for his willingness to intercede
in the matter3 — the nearest step that he was ever known to
take towards a confession of wrong-doing. The Diet at
Ratisbon, however, like all previous attempts at agreement
with the Protestants,4 was a failure, and when it was over,
the Emperor began to feel that after all he might have as
much need of Henry as Henry had of him. So, yielding to
the solicitations of Gardiner and Knyvett, who pressed for a
treaty of closer friendship, he was willing at least to arrange
that for six, eight, or perhaps ten months, neither he nor

Lucca) a few months later, actually spoke to the Pope on the subject. See Cbapuys'
letter of 16 April, in this volume, App. B, 13.

XVI., Nos. 667, 669, 670. .

Henry should treat anything to the other's disadvantage.
As soon as this had been agreed to in June, Bishop Gardiner
returned home.1 And mutual engagements for ten months
were then made between the two Sovereigns, with a view
to the conclusion meanwhile of a closer friendship and
alliance.2
Immediately afterwards took place the capture and murder
of Fregoso and Rincon, the French King's emissaries to the
Turk.3 No incident, of course, could have been better
calculated to exasperate anew the relations between Charles
and Francis ; for the crime was clearly brought home to the
Marquis of Guasto, the Imperial governor of Milan, yet the
fact no less obviously reflected on the communications
between France and the enemy of Christendom. Francis
might protest, as he did, that the envoys were sent to
persuade the Turk not to make war on Germany ;4 but the
excuse was not believed, and the fact looked bad that he
communicated with the Turk at all.
In his resentment against the Emperor, however, Francis
naturally thought the more of the practicability of an
alliance with England through the suggested marriage
of Orleans and the Princess Mary. But as he durst not
send a power to Marillac to negotiate the match, it very
naturally cooled for a time, till, at the close of December,
Henry himself took the matter up and addressed Marillac
about it, first through the medium of the Lord Privy
Seal (Southampton), afterwards personally. The Lord
Privy Seal said his master was surprised that, considering
the match had become a subject of common talk in France?
the ambassador had not pursued the matter further and

produced a power to treat. Marillac said that he had
written home and was awaiting a reply from Francis,
but thought the power would come soon enough when
matters were in a fair way of being concluded. The
King afterwards told him that he insisted on an express
power, as he had often been deluded in such matters by
trusting to more general ones. Marillac doubtless knew
what this meant, but could only say he would write
home.1 Chapuys was not less well aware that the King's
wish for a closer alliance with the Emperor was only to
prevent an alliance against himself between the Emperor
and Francis.2 But the English diplomacy was successful.
Marillac was persuaded that if the English were not taken
in time they would ally themselves with the Emperor,
who would probably marry the Princess Mary ;3 and
Francis commissioned him to resume the subject of her
match to Orleans and give assurance, whenever he saw
that the English were in earnest about it, that he would
send a power.4
Francis, however, was anxious not to be overreached as
he had already been, once and again, in dealing with
Henry VIII. ; and after consulting Cardinal Beton, who
was then at his court, he directed Marillac to confer with
a Scotch embassy which had reached London at the new
year,5 and in conjunction with them to negotiate for an
interview of the three Kings, Francis, Henry, and James
V., for which the Cardinal was himself writing to those
Ambassadors.6 Marillac was glad to get these new
instructions, which came just in time to make the English
stop Bishop Bonner after he had been despatched on some
special mission to the Emperor, and had actually taken
1 No. 2. 2 App. B. No. 4. 3 No. 36. 4 No. 51. 5 App. B.

n
his leave. The English seemed quite pleased at the
renewal of negotiations about the match, and Marillac
could see little sign of dissimulation in them. As to the
interview also, Henry expressed the strongest desire for
it, but thought his alliance with Francis ought first to
be put upon a firm basis by negotiation, and did not
see very well how the King of Scots could take part in
it ; he could not object, however, to James's sending
Ambassadors to negotiate with both of them jointly, and
for himself, if James desired it, he would go to meet him
on the frontiers.1
By such talk was Marillac led on ; while Chapuys, on the
other hand, feared that the French were going to win
the game. Chapuys was quite aware that as long as there
was any chance of war between the Emperor and Francis,
Henry would start difficulties in negotiating the closer
alliance, and raise his terms in proportion as he was sought
after. But it was important that he should be gained over
at any price, so as to forestall the French ; and so Chapuys
told the Emperor.2 The King, perhaps, like his Council,
may have been at heart better disposed towards the Emperor
than towards Francis ; but with him it was mainly a question
which of them could offer him the better terms. War
was in view, however, if he took part with either, and
he was preparing for the issue. He was taking pains
to fortify Hull,3 and intended to go and visit the
fortifications of Dover.4 Besides which, all other fortifi-
cations which had been recently commenced, were steadily
continued, and stores of artillery and gunpowder were
being got ready.5 Of course Calais was not forgotten,
and towards the end of February we find warning given

to the officers there to repair to their posts ; while Wallop
at Guisnes was directed to be on his guard against surprise,
as there was a rumor of musters in Picardy.1
On Marillac's report of the cordiality of Henry and
his Ministers, Francis sent him two powers to be used
as he saw needful, for the negotiation of the match
between Orleans and Mary, instructing him to conclude
that business before talking of the interview or of other
matters.2 But the ambassador soon discovered that now
that he was prepared for business it was otherwise with
those with whom he had to deal. Fine generalities, he
said, gave place to very different language at close quarters,
arid it was impossible, after four days' conference, to get
any express guarantee that Henry, in giving away his
daughter, would recognise her as legitimate. Nor even,
putting that subject aside for the moment, could he obtain
any information about the dowry that Henry would give
her. Francis asked Paget if the King really expected
him to marry his son to a bastard ; yet, knowing very
well that the Church and the public opinion of Europe
did not look upon the lady in that light, he said he was
prepared to receive her as legitimate without asking
Henry to undo anything he had done, and would even
allow future daughters of Henry to take precedence of her
if Henry would only give him some compensation — in
the shape, perhaps, of assisting Orleans to recover Milan,
or by acquitting Francis of all pensions and arrears that
Henry claimed of him, though Francis, for his part,
considered that he had forfeited his claim by not assisting
him in 1536, when the Emperor invaded Provence.
Perhaps also, to quicken the English, Marillac might
insinuate that the Emperor wanted Orleans to marry his
I Nos. 127, 155. 2 No. 97.
Xlll
daughter, with whom he would deliver the counties of
Bourgogne and Charolois. But Marillac had already tried
that ruse, and noted that the English would never
believe in the Emperor making any such concession.1
Strange it certainly does seem that, in spite of
indications' that might have been construed otherwise,
Marillac believed in the middle of March matters were
tending to complete peace and security between France
and England. He noted that there was no talk of
arming ships and reinforcing garrisons, such as had
been usual at that season for three years past, and the
King had put off, or given up, his intended visit to
Dover. These were the grounds of assurance. Yet
Marillac himself noted, besides, that the English were
still continuing their fortifications, and considering
schemes for securing their frontiers. War horses, too,
were much in demand, the noblemen everywhere
making efforts to obtain even more than they were
bound by statute to keep. And, while councils were
held every day from morning to night, how was
Marillac so easily assured that everything tended to
peace ?2
A new step taken by the Government immediately
afterwards naturally caused him some misgivings ; but
we do not find that they were very serious. Com-
missioners were sent out everywhere to demand a loan.
People could hardly have been prepared for this. No
fresh taxation was imposed in the session of Parliament,
for the large subsidy voted in 1540 had still to be
collected for two years to come. There had been some

2 No. 178. It must have been due, surely, to Marillac's apparent confidence
that Chapuys believed in the beginning of March that an arrangement for charg-
ing the Princess's dowry on Milan was actually on foot, and that Marillac quite
expected to conclude the match on those terms (No. 148). Marillac was sanguine
enough, but this he did not expect. See No. 167 (2).
XIV
talk, however, of giving the King parliamentary power to
anticipate the further payments — a project which was wisely
dropped. But the proceeds, even of that large subsidy,
were not expected to cover the probable expenditure
in view ; and the Commissioners were to set forth the
great charges incurred in making the harbour at Dover
and repairing castles and fortresses, besides maintaining
a garrison to reduce Ireland "to the knowledge of God
"and good civility."1 £100,000 would scarcely suffice
to meet this year's expenses in fortifications ; and if
the King were to disburse the money out of his own
treasure, he would be ill -provided against any sudden
event, "either by outward parts or otherwise." Hence
the kingdom would be in serious danger, considering
the daily preparations made by the Emperor and the
French King, and the designs of the Turk. For these
reasons the King had now resorted to Wolsey's old
device of an amicable loan f and it seems he was
already thinking of enhancing the value of coin by
proclamation.3
The loan was, on the whole, a success. Only the lords
and the clergy4 were at first asked to contribute, but
afterwards the wealthy classes generally ; and many
were reconciled to an unwilling disbursement by being
told that the money was to be used against the Turk
and his adherents, which was understood to mean the
French. But no one expected the promised repayment
at the expiration of two years. The example of the
last loan forbade all hopes of that.5

most wealthy people, clerical and temporal, the Dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk being
assessed at 6,000 crowns, and the amount likely to be realised would exceed
300,000 crowns. No. 235. On the 22nd Marillac mentions that the application

The ten months' engagement between the Emperor and
Henry VIII. was to expire near the close of April, 1542.1
But no steps had yet been taken towards the closer alliance
in the beginning of the year. Charles naturally did not like
to make a sudden change, and he, too, was bound to Francis
in the same way as Francis was to him, not to treat with
England without the other's consent. Thus there was the
same necessity on either side not to be found out by the other
in making advances to Henry, lest the blunderer should be
accused of being the first to break the truce. The Emperor
had therefore put off talking of the matter as long as it was
politic to do so, his expedition to Algiers forming a very
good excuse. But on the 14 March he wrote to Chapuys
from Valladolid two letters, one of which was to be shown to
the King of England or his Council, the other being of a
more private nature. In the first he reciprocated Henry's
desire for a closer alliance, and said he would have sent
Chapuys a power to negotiate it but for the danger of
sending through France. He would send one by sea, but it
must go first to the Queen Regent of the Netherlands, and
Chapuys might begin to treat in the meanwhile before it
arrived. In the other he cautioned Chapuys that while the
first letter was written expressly to be shown, he must take
care not to let it go out of his hands, lest the English should
turn it to their profit in their dealings with the French.
Francis, he believed, had been cautious not to send the
powers for the Orleans marriage, and he on his side must
first send Chapuys's powers to Granvelle, whose advice he
always took about such matters. But Granvelle, on his
return from Italy, had been obliged, after touching at the
island of Hieres, to go back to Genoa, so the precious docu-
ment which alone could commit the Emperor had to go first

after St. George's Day), said the 10 months would expire within five days. See
P. 172.
XVI
by sea to Genoa, and thence travel through Germany and
come by Flanders.1
On receipt of these instructions, Chapuys did his part
most dexterously, and though the King said he suspected
stratagem in the commission given to the Queen of Hungary
while the power for Chapuys to treat went round by Genoa,
the ambassador urged so strongly the desirability of frankness,
now that both sides had lost hope of any understanding with
France, that the King was entirely satisfied. Henry
in truth was no longer afraid that Charles would league
with France against him.2 But Bonner had "mixed
the sweet with the bitter " to the Emperor in Spain,3 and
when Chapuys was left to negotiate with the Privy Council,
he found that they did the same, raising their terms, in fact,
as they had always done when they felt themselves secure.
The King, they said, did not wish to suspend negotiations
till Chapuys had sufficient powers ;-but a confirmation of old
treaties was no good — indeed they were no longer valid, for
though they had been scrupulously kept by the King, they
had been broken on the Emperor's side by the edict in
Flanders, of which Chapuys should obtain the repeal. They
wished, therefore, to know what overtures he was free to
make. Chapuys said he could make no new ones till he had
instructions from the Emperor. Of four points which had
been proposed six years before, he must for the present put
aside two — the King's reconciliation to Rome, and the
Princess Mary's legitimation. But he thought it a very
appropriate time to discuss the third point, an aid against
the Turk ; while as to the fourth, which was about the French,
the Emperor had since made a truce with them, so the case
was altered. The English asked how long that truce would
last, and Chapuys admitted that in his opinion the Emperor
might declare it broken already, and it would last no longer

XV11
than the French found it convenient. The English were
willing to discuss both the two latter points, but it must be
understood that their King was then on friendly terms with
every reigning Sovereign, even with the French King and
the King of Scots, and if he entered a league against France
he must have compensation for his French pensions. As to
the Turk, they could not touch upon that matter till the
principal question was settled.1
The Queen of Hungary could only advise Chapuys to
temporise till his powers from the Emperor arrived ;2 and on
the 2 May Charles went so far as to sign a commission
enabling him to make an offensive and defensive alliance
with the English.3 Granvelle had by that time returned to
the Court at Valladolid, and expressed himself about Henry
VIII. to Bonner and Knyvet in far more cordial terms than
he had used to Gardiner.4 He was delighted that all
impediments to amity with England were now removed.
He had a very bitter feeling against the French, who,
he said, had galleys out to take him on his voyage
in resentment at the fate of Eincon and Fregoso ;
but for his part he cared not so much for himself
as because he had certain blank charters of the Emperor's
touching the expedition of English matters, which he
would not have come into the Frenchmen's hands. He
swore that he possessed written evidences of what they had
been doing. It was easy, when he was in this frame of mind?
to lead up to the question of the " straiter amity " that was
to be negotiated within a period just about to expire. But
after this interview there was some delay ; and though the

malo viro qui jam est Eomee." No doubt he had declared to Gardiner, as to the
others, his desire to do service to Henry, but he had also spoken to him pretty freely
of Henry's conduct.

prescribed term actually did expire, it did not greatly affect
the question of the alliance, as the English had no great
douht which way the Emperor's interests would incline.1
Henry himself was pretty sure of this ; and to help on
the result, he went on haggling with Marillac about the
terms on which he would give his daughter to Orleans.2
But Marillac was now beginning to be a little uncomfortable,
partly about the object of the loan, which was pressed much
further than at first, and partly about the King's going to
Dover, which, though deferred a short time, was afterwards
fixed for the 24 April, and there were rumors that he would
cross secretly to Calais, where he would inspect the fortifi-
cations and see how far the works at Guisnes had advanced.3
This suspicion was rather augmented than otherwise by
what the King himself told him on St. George's day at
Greenwich— the day before he started, — when he said he was
only going off for a brief visit to the seacoast and would be
back in 20 days, giving Marillac distinctly to understand
that his company on the journey was undesirable for lack
of convenient lodgings.4 Marillac was thus left to deal with
some members of the Privy Council, who kept up the
haggling more than ever, not only speaking as if the
overture had come from Francis, but saying that Henry
could not give with his daughter more than the sum of
300,000 crowns that he gave with his sister when she
married Louis XII, and that as to making an alliance with
Francis the King had no wish, directly or indirectly, to be
led into a war with the Emperor. Now the French seem to
have been quite clear that Paget had said the contrary of this
in France, — i.e., that Henry did wish for a joint war with the
Emperor.5 But the English Privy Council would not believe
what Marillac told them their own ambassador had said in Paris,
and did not think he could have had any warrant to say so.6

The French had been vainly hoping that if the marriage
really took effect, they might not only gain Henry for an
effective ally, but that he might be got to relinquish the
yearly payments guaranteed to him by treaties. But now
there was no longer any hope of this, or any encouragement
to proceed, and Francis directed his ambassador to let the
matter rest. If the English were disposed to resume the
subject, he was simply to report what they said, and possibly
they might find Francis quite as cold as they had been.1
Even Brion who, being now once more in favour, had been
a warm promoter of the English alliance and cared nothing
about the Pope or Henry's excommunication, could not but
feel that their offers were altogether inadequate, and he told
Paget that as the matter could not go forward, they must be
content simply to remain good friends.2
When the King returned from Dover, Marillac found little
comfort in the fact that he had not crossed the Channel ; for
he discovered that he had sent for Wallop, the governor of
Guisnes, and questioned him about the possibility of a
successful attack on Ardres before the works were completed.
He had also ordered the works at Guisnes to be hastened,
that they might be a match for those at Ardres. Then
apparently Bishop Gardiner was brewing some mischief in
daily conference with the Imperial Ambassdor, having lately
removed to a house in the fields at Stepney to be near him,3
and Marillac had got news from a very good authority that
the King spoke of undertaking the defence of the Emperor's
Flemish possessions and would lend the Emperor a good
sum to be used against the Turk on security of certain towns
in the Low Countries. The loan apparently was partly for
this and partly to enable the King to recover his pensions

3 The ostensible reason for his removal was for fear of the sweating sickness. See
App. B.,No. 22.
c2
from France, though some said that these oppressive
exactions were mainly intended to keep down the people, to
make it still more difficult to rebel, which was no easy matter
at any rate, now that the King had cut off all prominent
members of the blood royal.1
Marillac's information was not far wrong about the nature
of Gardiner's communications with Chapuys. For the terms
of the closer amity were already under consideration, the
Ambassador having received his powers by the middle of May,
and he rejoiced that there was some hope of the King and the
Emperor putting a joint pressure on the French to prevent
their assisting the Turk to trouble Christendom. Gardiner,
indeed, told him that the King had no occasion to make war
on France, but there was evidently an understood proviso —
unless it was made worth his while ; to satisfy which
condition Chapuys was willing that the King should have —
not towns in the Low Countries, as Marillac was informed,
but in France (as soon as they were conquered, of course) for
the assurance of his pension.2 Gardiner, however, professed
to have no commission to discuss matters ; and Chapuys,
after an audience which he had of the King on Ascension
day (18 May), entered into fuller communications with
Gardiner and two other Bishops, Tunstall and Thirleby, who
were authorised to negotiate with him. They discussed a
number of points together for a whole week, and at Whit-
suntide, though very ill, he was carried in a litter to the
King at Hampton Court, where lodgings were assigned both
to him and to the three Bishops for their greater convenience.
He remained there five days in continued conference with

them, and the attentions shown to him appeared to Marillac
altogether beyond those which an ordinary ambassador might
have looked for.1 But before Marillac had finished the letter
reporting these things to his master, he learned that
Chapuys, with all his gout, had secretly taken ship for
Flanders on some business of very special importance. This
was certainly of no good omen for France.
Chapuys had set out with a fair wind, but it became
unpropitious before he left the Thames, and he crossed,
apparently from Gravesend, to Dover by land, and thence
sailed to Gravelines. The King at the same time got The
Great Harry and all his other ships of war ready for
service. In France there were all sorts of alarming
rumors, and Brion was sadly perplexed, while Paget's
ingenuity was somewhat taxed to explain matters.2 But
Chapuys returned in a fortnight and repaired to the King
at the Moor.3 He must have removed with him imme-
diately afterwards to Hampton Court, where he remained
about a fortnight, lodged in the palace, and returned to
London on the 2nd July.4 He had gone over, in fact,
to expedite the closer alliance, which seemed now in a
fair way of being concluded, though the King had made
some difficulties about the loss of his French pensions,
for which he would require compensation. But on his
return matters did not yet advance so rapidly as he had
hoped. He had, however, just before leaving Flanders,
met at St. Omer the Sieur de Roeux, who told him that
with the help of 4,000 Englishmen, in addition to the
horse and foot he could himself raise in Artois, he would
undertake to surprise Montreuil, which could easily be
kept safe during the winter. This project Chapuys com-

municated to the King, who was vastly taken with it, and
wrote to Wallop to put himself in communication on the
subject with De Roeux.1
Henry, however, while making every preparation for
war, was anxious not to commit himself against France
prematurely, and it was agreed that the league should be
kept secret till October. Meanwhile Chapuys at Hampton
Court came to an agreement that the edict in Flanders
against the export of goods in English ships should be
revoked as soon as possible ; which was done at once
by Mary of Hungary, on the understanding that the
English statute likewise was to be repealed on the
first opportunity. Information was likewise sent to Paget
(in order that he might plausibly rebuke the suspicions
rife in France), that the Imperial Ambassador had gone
to Court about these commercial matters during the
Whitsun holidays, and that his voyage to Flanders and
return were only with a view to their more effectual
settlement.2 To pass such false coin no one was more
skilful than Paget ', and civility and prudence alike
required that it should be received for the time as
genuine. But the best friends of England in France
were sadly disappointed ; and if Brion, sick at heart,
and indeed sick in body, replied to Paget with polite
insincerity, Margaret of Navarre had for some time been
unable to restrain her feelings of indignation and disgust.3
It could scarcely have been satisfactory to Francis at
such a time to have no more clearsighted agent in England
than Marillac, who was still allowing himself to be fooled
in the old fashion, and though warned to keep a sharp
look out, believed that war preparations in England had

XX111
considerably cooled, and that Chapuys was not succeeding
in his negotiations.1 Francis, however, was now resolved
on his course of action, and sent his secretary, Claude de
L'Aubespine, to England on a special mission, the real
object of which, as Paget discovered, was only to
" decipher " Henry, and learn, if possible, the real state
of matters between him and the Emperor. For Francis
had already decided on war with the latter, which he
proclaimed two days after giving L'Aubespine his
instructions, and it was a part of the envoy's charge to
explain the reasons which had driven him to take up
arms. He was also commissioned to inform Henry that
Francis had received an embassy from the great King
of Sweden, Gustavus Yasa, and had joined him in an
alliance, offensive and defensive , with Denmark and the
Duke of Prussia, which he hoped that Henry, too, would
enter.2 The hope was probably but a faint one ; but
if L'Aubespine could only " decipher " Henry satisfactorily,
it would be seen, at least, whether he would stand by either
combatant or profess a treacherous neutrality.
Henry chose the latter course. L'Aubespine had a cold
reception, his audience being delayed four days, while the
Imperial ambassador was at court. The King said he
was very sorry that his neighbours had fallen out,
whom he had formerly done his best to pacify, but as
they had accused him of fomenting discord, he had given
up meddling, and he piously thanked God that this
rupture had not proceeded from him. As to the treaty
with Sweden, he thought that King too poor to give
effectual aid, and the Duke of Prussia was too far off.
The King of Denmark was a more hopeful ally, but the

Easterlings would not like war. When he had seen the
articles of the treaty, he would decide whether he himself
could enter it. He sent, however, a written reply to
Francis, and Paget was instructed, in delivering it, to
demand copies of the treaties made by France with
their new confederates. If the English ambassador was
questioned about forces lately sent over to Calais and
Guisnes, he was to say there were only 200 or 300,
sent merely for defence of the King's territory.1
L'Aubespine having got his answer, returned to
France. Before leaving England he tried to create
a belief in the public that he had met with a good
reception ; but appearances were against him. He was
accompanied by Marillac down the river to Gravesend
to see the King's naval preparations, and then to the
port of embarcation — no doubt Dover — to see the new
fortifications.2 The message that he carried back with
him was not a very comfortable one. He had been
treated visibly with much less consideration than
Chapuys. Henry could not be got to see much in the
provocations Francis had received from the Emperor.
Men were enrolled secretly in England, and merchant
ships commanded to be ready. Artillery and gunners
were dispatched to Calais. Moreover L'Aubespine had
received a significant hint that he should have come
with instructions about the King's French pensions if
his mission was to have borne any fruit.3
On the 14 July the Duke of Orleans invaded Luxemburg,
and on the loth M. de Longueval with Martin Van Rossem
1 Nos. 523, 524, 532.
2 App., B. 34. No. 598. Chapuys seems to be in error in believing that
Marillac's optimism carried him so far as to make him believe, and tell
L'Aubespine to report, that it would be two months before the English ships
could go to sea, On the contrary, Marillac observed that eight ships in the
Thames on which he had for some time kept an eye, were quite readv to
sail. See p. 307. 3 No. 532.
attacked Brabant through Gelderland. The town of Dam-
villiers at once fell to Orleans, while the other army laid
waste the country about Bois-le-Duc, took Hoogstraeten and
threatened Antwerp. On the 21st the Dauphin left the
French Court for Narbonne, where d'Annebault was to join
him with bands of Italians, Swiss, and lanzknechts to attack
Salsas and Perpignan. And later in the month the Duke of
Vendome was at St. Pol, preparing to invade Flanders.
Thus by the end of July four armies were in the field invad-
ing or menacing the Emperor's dominions in diffeient
quarters.1
The news of these things created anxiety in England,
especially the danger of Antwerp, the capture of which would
have been a serious blow to English commerce.2 Siege was
actually laid to the place on the 26th but was raised two days
later.3 War, however, was soon hot within no great
distance of Calais, and Wallop, commanding at Guisnes, was
a little suspicious that the French forces mustering to lay
siege to Tournehem might really be intended against him.4
Under these circumstances both the Imperial and the
French Ambassadors were summoned to Windsor, where on
the 8th August the Duke of Norfolk addressed them in the
King's name, showing how he was compelled by the war
which had broken out between the Emperor and Francis, —
especially as the King of Scots was said to be preparing for
war also, — to arm and raise men and ships in defence of the
kingdom ; and he desired to warn both belligerents to respect
the neutrality of English ports and not ill-treat English sea-
men. The Imperial Ambassador, who had received private
notice beforehand of the substance of this address, replied in
suitable terms, saying he was quite sure that no one could

misinterpret the King's conduct, and that both the Emperor
and the Queen of Hungary would act accordingly. Marillac
also made a like reply, though he inwardly noted the
reference to the King of Scots, and felt sure that the prepara-
tions by sea and land, which Norfolk said were making to
preserve neutrality, were really intended against France and
Scotland.1
Marillac's suspicions were certainly much in accordance
with all the evidence that we possess. Henry's more
immediate aim, however, was to crush Scotland, while France
was occupied with another enemy. And here we may note
that the lan^ua^e used to the two ambassadors was exceed-
0 o
ingly cautious. They were not told — very likely because
it was not the fact — that the Scots had begun hostilities
against England, but only that James was preparing
for war and had ordered all his forces to be ready on
brief warning. Yet it was one of the pleas that Henry
advanced in his subsequent justification of the war with
Scotland that the Scots had actually invaded England on
the 4th July. This was not admitted by the Scots them-
selves, for they maintained it was the English who first
broke the peace three days later,3 and whatever may have
been the truth of the matter, owing to the deficiency of
correspondence we have no account of this alleged first
outrage. Raids on both sides there certainly were during
that month of July, but which side began it is not easy to
say. James, in the course of that month, sent the Steward
of his Household, James Leirmonth, of Dairsie, with a letter
written in his own hand to Henry, to apologise, it is said,
for some outrage of the Scots. Unluckily, just after his
arrival, there was another raid, in which four or five
English gentlemen with their companies attacked the
1 Nos. 586, 601. 2 See No. 1033. 3 No. 807.
XXV11
invaders, but fell into an ambush, and were every man of
them slain, to the number of forty or fifty.1 On hearing
of this Henry was so intensely angry that he refused to
see the ambassador. He was, however, more composed on
learning that the English had crossed the borders and
slain three or four times the number of Scots in revenge.
So on the 6th August he gave audience to Leirmonth, and
wrote to James on the 8th — the very day he received
the two ambassadors at Windsor — an answer which implied
willingness to settle disputes by negotiation. And James
replied in the same spirit, asking for a safe conduct for
Robert Reid, bishop of Orkney, John Lord Erskine,
Leirmonth, and two others.2
The King, however, had already on the news of the
Scotch incursions, despatched Sir Robert Bowes to the
East and Middle Marches in advance of the Earl of Rutland,
who was to be Warden of the Marches generally, with
orders to levy 600 men for the month from 12th August
to 9th September. He was also to warn the local officers
to keep good rule unless the Scots made new attempts ; in
which case they must take good .care to give them a full
equivalent for injuries inflicted. He was to notify this
determination to keep good rule to Lord Maxwell and the
officers of Scotland, and meanwhile to warn the Borderers
to get their hay and corn into safe places. He was, further,
to keep good espial on the Scots, especially to ascertain
whether they had any ships ready for sea.3
The Borders, no doubt,, were in a dangerous state ; but the
prompt sending of Leirmonth shows pretty clearly that it
was against the King of Scotland's mind that disturbances
occurred there. James, indeed, had been preparing for war,
as the Duke of Norfolk said ; for he had been taking musters
1 Nos. 580, 586, See Notes and Errata. 2 Nos. 580, 642. 3 No. 540.
XXV111
in June1 ; but that he wished to bring on war is contrary to
all the evidence. The answer made to his message by
Leirmonth, however, hardly suggests an equal desire on
Henry's part to arrive at an amicable settlement. James had
proposed that Commissioners of both Kings should meet
on the Borders for redress of outrages. To this Henry
replied that the Scotch Commissioners had better come
to Windsor to discuss matters there — of course, at a serious
disadvantage.2 And the very day that this letter was signed
he gave the Earl of Rutland his instructions, and sent
him down to the Borders, where he was to take very secret
counsel with Sir Robert Bowes and others as to the state of
matters there, and, with advice of John Heron and the
pensioners — the most hardened of the border thieves, whom
the King had thought it politic for five years past to keep
in his pay3 — to "entertain" the rovers of Liddersdale
and other Scotchmen willing to serve against their
own sovereign, and take what further action might seem
fit.4
To understand somewhat better the position of affairs
with Scotland we must go back to that proposal of an
interview in the preceding year which Henry wished to
represent as originating with James. On this subject
what was said in the Preface to the last Volume (pp.
xxxviii., xxxix.) requires, 1 find, some little modification ;
for it appears that Bellenden, when he had audience of
Henry at Northampton5 really did speak of an interview
between the two Kings, and Henry was no doubt
justified in saying, as he did afterwards to a Scotch
embassy of which Bellenden himself was a member, that

that Ambassador had c£ proposed " the meeting.1 The
proposal, however, was not then a new one — in fact, it
was a very old story ; and a word or two about the history
of the project seems not uncalled for. As far back as
March, 1536, we find Chapuys writing that it had been
actually settled that such an interview was to take place
at York ; for a courier had just come from Scotland with
the news.2 But that the thing was then proposed by
Henry VIII. and not by James is quite evident from a
letter of Lord William Howard a month later,3 even if
it were not sufficiently clear from the suspicions enter-
tained in Scotland as to the object of his and Barlow's
embassy.4 James's Council, in fact, refused to let him
go to meet Henry; and in 1537 the Council of Henry
considered it one reason against granting James a safe
conduct through England when he was returning with
his newly married wife from France to Scotland that it
would not be "honorable" for flenry to grant a free
passage to one " who not only broke the appointment
" for the interview, but pretended that he should be
" betrayed if he kept it."5 There was, however, in the
opinion of the English Council another reason against
granting the safe conduct, which apparently they con-
sidered more weighty because they put it first, viz.i
that no English King had ever received a Scotch King
into his realm except as a vassal— a point which we
may be pretty sure was not mentioned to James himself
when the interview was proposed by Lord William
Howard and Bishop Barlow.
In the spring of 1539 the project was again brought
forward, and again by Henry himself, when he sent

Sadler to James to remove unpleasant impressions and
promote cordiality. The King then said that he was
contemplating a visit to the North in the following
summer, and if James would come and meet him the
expense would be little on either side.1
It thus appears that Henry had been angling for an
interview with his nephew for years at the time when
Bellenden " proposed " the matter to him at Northampton
in 1541 ; and to suppose that Bellenden made an un-
guarded promise that James was ready to accomplish the
meeting offhand is against all moral probability. The
Scotch Council had been all along very suspicious of
Henry's intentions in this matter ; and even now Cardinal
Beton, who knew the facts, said expressly in France
that it was Henry who was soliciting the interview, and
soliciting it very eagerly.2
James excused his delay in accomplishing the meeting by
his inability to obtain the consent of the Estates of his realm
and of his father in-law the French King, whom he said he
had earnestly solicited to agree to it ; and Henry, though he
declared that he had protracted his stay in the North that
James might come to him, replied amicably that seeing the
matter was made so "difficile" he was content to pass it over
for that time.3 This was in the beginning of February 1 542,
and there were other matters in dispute then pending ;4 but
these it was to be hoped might be arranged by negotiation.
Henry promised the Scotch Ambassadors that he would send
Commissioners after the Parliament to meet others from
Scotland; and as Parliament was dissolved in March they
were no doubt appointed in or before April. Their names
appear to have been John Dudley (newly created Viscount

Lisle on the death of Arthur Plantagenet),1 Sir Richard
Southwell, Sir Thomas Wharton (the Deputy Warden at
Carlisle), Aldrich, bishop of Carlisle, Lord Latimer, and Dr.
Leigh.2 But where they met the Scots or how long they con-
ferred with them does not appear. The most serious question
to be adjusted was about English rebels received in Scotland,
some of whom were Churchmen ; but as James's attitude on
this subject was firm, the English Commissioners were
instructed to give it the go-by till a more convenient
season, and to pass on to a small question about the
boundary. But even on this small question they and
the Scots could come to no agreement.3
Shortly before the English Commissioners were appointed,
one of them, Sir Thomas Wharton, had submitted to the
King and Council a plan of his own for settling these inter-
national difficulties, of which apparently he would willingly
have undertaken the execution himself if he could have got
authority to do it. He was, as already mentioned, Deputy
Warden at Carlisle, and his plan was simply to kidnap the
King of the Scots when he was sojourning somewhere not far
from the West Marches. The project was laid before the
Council, or rather came before them as one item in the
Border correspondence, but they refused to discuss it with-
out a direct command. It seemed to them attended with
many difficulties. The question of peace or war then hung
in the balance, depending on James's answer to some
communications and on the sending of Commissioners, but
the relations of the two countries were for the present
friendly. Then the castle to which James resorted was a
good many miles from the Border, and the country between
it and England was so well inhabited that a band sent to
kidnap him would be sure to be discovered. In that district

XXX11
lay the town of Dumfries, which was very populous, as the
neighbourhood was also, so that it would be difficult to bring
the King away alive. Then if he was slain, what scandal
would ensue ! And no less so if the plot were discovered,
embittering the feud between the two countries to the very
utmost. It was clearly bad policy and the scheme was not
approved of.1
Although the Commissioners of the two Kingdoms parted
without having arrived at any settlement, even of the small
question of boundary, there seems to have been, when they
separated, a brief period of peace upon the Borders. But
that peace was now left precarious, and both sides looked
upon war as only too probable. Both sides, indeed, were
doubtless preparing for it even before the Commissioners
parted. The English Commissioners were at Berwick in
May and June seeing to the efficiency of the Border
fortifications ; and James, as already said, was taking
musters in the latter month, which English Ambassadors,
in letters from Scotland received before the 20ths spoke
of having actually witnessed, adding that a general muster
of all able to bear arms had been ordered to take place about
Midsummer day.2 No actual rupture of the peace, however,
occurred before the 4th July — the date when, according to
the English, it was broken by the Scots ; and this, it is
stated, was immediately after the departure of the
Commissioners. But the Scots maintained that none
occurred till the 7th, and that then it was the English
who began.3
It was only on the 28th of the same month that Sir
Eobert Bowes was sent to the Borders with the Com-
mission already referred to. Leirmonth's arrival at the
English Court must have been about the same time — one

XXX111
might suppose a day or two later if he was sent to apologise
for the same outrages which prompted the sending of Sir
Robert. But we know nothing of his charge on this head,
except the account that the English Council chose to give
of it to Chapuys ; and it is certain that James, for his part,
did not acknowledge that the first breach was due to the
Scots. Indeed, in a confidential despatch to Leirmonth,
written on the 20th August, he wonders at the insistence of
the English Council in maintaining that such was the case,
when it was notorious that there were two English raids into
Scotland before there was one Scotch raid info England.1
With all this, however, James was really so anxious for
peace that he was quite disposed to comply with Henry's
proposal that he should send Ambassadors to the English
Court to settle differences, instead of deputing new
Commissioners to meet on the Borders. He accordingly
named, as we have seen, five Ambassadors, of whom Leir-
month was one, and he directed Leirmonth to procure a
safe conduct for the others. But meanwhile, offences had
grown on both sides. The English had burned six different
towns in the Merse (or Berwickshire), and, just two days
before James wrote, the Scots burned Carham tower
and some houses in Cornhill. But James was so determined
to stop outrages that even before formal complaint could have
been lodged of this offence he ordered James Doig, the
leader, to be cashiered and punished.2
James was at that time at his usual residence — Holyrood
Palace ; but Wharton informed the King that he was bring-
ing forces to the border as if he intended some sudden
exploit. The rumour may have arisen from the Earl of
Huntly having been sent thither (with but forty attendants,
1 No. 643. 2 No. 638, 642-644.

as James said) really to prevent disorder.1 The King,
however, on Whar ton's information, sent instructions to
the Earl of Eutland to exercise unremitting vigilance, to see
Norbam, Wark, Alnwick, and other holds fully furnished
with ordnance, gunners, and victuals, to make two new
bulwarks at Berwick, and to keep ample reserves of victuals
there and at Carlisle.2 He also ordered the President and
Council of the North to put all men in those quarters in
readiness to march at an hour's notice; and he wrote to
James regretting to hear of daily attempts quite at variance
with the amity professed in his message sent by Leirmonth.3
Then without waiting for a reply, he determined to send
the Duke of Norfolk u with a main force " against the Scots,
and gave him power to take the levies in Yorkshire and the
North Counties.4
"Whatever grounds Wharton may have had for believing
that James intended to attack the English borders, it is
certain that at that very time preparations were made at
Berwick and at Norham for an invasion of Scotland. Sir
Eobert Bowes, though his instructions were not to commit
aggressions unless the Scots began, and then see that
they were fully requited, evidently considered that he had no
longer occasion to be idle ; and he arranged with Sir William
Eure, the captain of Berwick, and the banished Earl of Angus
and Sir George Douglas to make a raid into Teviotdale.
They carried out their design on St. Bartholomew's day,
the 24th August, burning Maxwell Heugh, Heiton of the
Hill, and some other places ; but returning homewards they
fell into an ambush at Haddon Big and were pursued by some

No. 714 (19)] , was no doubt piven him on the 24 August. On the 25th some addition
was made to it by letters. See No. 671. It appears that the first thing he did after
receiving it was to ride down to his place at Chesworth in Sussex, from which

2,000 Scots, with the result that Bowes and his brother
Eichard, Sir John Witherington, marshal of Berwick,
John Carr, captain of Wark, John Tempest, Sir Cuth-
bert Eatcliff, and John Heron of Chipchase, were taken
prisoners, with others amounting in all to 400 or 500.
Angus after some hard fighting saved himself, and
others escaped by speed of horse.1
James V. wrote to Henry a letter of very temperate
remonstrance on the unprovoked attack, again urging
that if he really meant to keep the peace he would send
a safe conduct for the Scotch Ambassadors and order his
own officers on the Borders to desist from further invasions.2
But defeat is not less bitter because it is just, and the
indignation at Henry's Court was extreme.3 There was
no thought but of vengeance. Norfolk at once prepared to
depart for the North, declaring that he would lower the
Scottish pride; and to aid him in doing so his brother,
Lord William, was released from the Tower.4 His son,
the Earl of Surrey, who had lately been in the Fleet
for some misdemeanour,5 also accompanied him on his
expedition.6 The Earl of Rutland was already well on
his way north to take up his position as Warden; so
that apparently he received news of the disaster in
Scotland at Darlington on the 25th, when he at once pushed
on to Newcastle, which he reached at seven in the evening.
His thoughts were greatly occupied with the question
how to procure sufficient grain for the coming army.7
To breathe fire and fury at Court was natural enough ;
but on second thoughts it was found that there might be
inconvenience in the practice. There was James's
Ambassador, Leirmonth, still waiting to obtain an answer

about that larger embassy which he had offered to send.
What was to be done about that ? Leir month at first
expected to be made a prisoner. But for the present the
advantage lay with the Scots, and James was still only
asking for explanations, and for a safe conduct for his
Ambassadors.1 Were the English now going to show, by
a breach of the law of nations, that the raid had been
really authorised ? The Ambassador received variable
treatment. Sometimes he was most cordially addressed
and allowed to kill bucks in the parks. Again, before the
day was over, all was coldness and distrust.2 At last he
was dismissed with something like incivility ; but after
starting on his way home he met a herald of the King, his
master, with whom he returned once more to solicit even
yet a safe conduct for the great embassy, that they might
go to York, and treat with Norfolk and other Commissioners
for a peace.3
The English in their diplomacy did not make a
creditable appearance. They affected to believe that the
" displeasure " which had occurred, had been due to an
intended invasion of their country by the Earl of Huntly,
who had been sent to the Borders avowedly to prevent
outrages.4 But, unluckily for them, James could produce a
writing which had been taken on one of the prisoners,
signed by Sir Eobert Bowes, showing that the plan for
an invasion of Scotland had been drawn and arranged
beforehand.5 And James learned some further secrets of
English intrigues from James Douglas, whose life he
pardoned, and whom he sent over the Firth, to Falkland
Castle.6 He must have seen clearly that it was Henry's
policy to crush Scotland while France was afraid to aid
her ; and he wisely persevered in doing what he honorably

could to prevent hostilities. He had his embassy ready
to send to England ; and Angus certainly did not do
more than justice to his pacific intentions in writing to
the Earl of Rutland that he desired peace because he had
no word of assistance from France.1
Full of the expedition that he was to lead against the
Scots, the Duke of Norfolk reached his own home at
Kenninghall on the 2 September,2 where he remained awhile
perplexed about many things, and writing opposite directions
on successive days.3 Nor had he yet left Norfolk on the
12th, when he received orders from the King to defer setting
out for eight days more.4 For the King, when he left Court,
had still to determine what to do about the proposed Scotch
embassy ; and he finally made up his mind to let the
Ambassadors come, but only as far as York, where he would
send some of his own Council to discuss matters with them.
James agreed to this arrangement, though he could not help
hinting that it would have been more satisfactory if they had
been received nearer Henry's Court ; and he gave a special
commission to Lord Erskine, one of the embassy, to repair to
Henry himself, either during, or after the meeting, to declare
his strong desire for amity.5
The meeting at York was arranged to take place on
the 18th September, and Norfolk was to be one of the
Commissioners.6 Their instructions were not to allow
the negotiations to be prolonged more than eleven days : —
they must either conclude a peace before Michaelmas,
unless a day or two more seemed likely to effect it, or
go forward on their journey. If the Scotch Ambassadors had
not come to York by the 18th they might wait four days
for them and then go and meet them at Newcastle.

They must insist on the delivery of the English
prisoners, if possible without ransom, and refuse to
allow this condition to be postponed, threatening even
to break off communications if it were not granted,
but if this had no effect they might agree to anything
reasonable to procure the deliverance of the prisoners.
They must insist on the Scots interpreting the last
treaty as requiring the delivery of all rebels, Kirkmen
or others ; also on their relinquishing their claim to the
piece of ground about which the Boundary Com-
missioners could not agree, unless they could show
better title than appeared at that time. They must
conclude that neither party should aid the other's
enemies, but that each should give mutual aid to the
other ad expensas requirentis ; and that this amity
should be preferred to any other that might interfere
with it. If, however, the Scots produced new evidence
about the disputed land they were to consider it, and
in conversation renew the suggestion of an interview
between the Kings, and might follow up this in pre-
ference to the ''piquant" question of the rebels, and
use various persuasions. If, however, the Scots listened
to the suggestion, the Commissioners must hint that
hostages would probably be necessary. If they suggested
that a formal request should be made for the interview by
Henry they must be shown how unbecoming and
objectionable it would be for one prince to ask another
into his realm, although it was a thing that Henry
undoubtedly desired. If the Scots on this matter wished
to refer to their Sovereign and the eleven days expired
before their messengers returned, the Commissioners were
courteously to request them to draw to Newcastle or
some place nearer the Borders, to continue the confer-
XXXIX
ences there; where they would either come to a friendly
conclusion, or separate with regret that Henry's
amicable intentions had been fruitless. And so the
English were to dismiss the others in good fashion
"and in God's name haste forward the enterprise."1
These were the leading points of the instructions.
But there were others relating to the alternative of
hostilities ; and it is to be noted that even if from the
first the Commissioners saw no prospect of getting the
Scots to acquiesce in their terms they were still to
carry on the conferences in a most amicable spirit, while
secretly augmenting the garrisons on the Borders, k*lest
" the Scots, perceiving what were toward, would enter
" to give the first buffet." The Commissioners were also
to be prepared, in case the Scots alleged (as apparently
it was anticipated that they would) that the first breach
of peace was on the side of the English, to show that on
the contrary it was a Scotch raid into " Cokedal" (Coquet-
dale?) on the 4 July, with which disturbances began.
James's proposal to send up Lord Erskine as Ambassador
to Henry, while his fellow- Commissioners remained at York
to continue the negotiations, was by no means agreeable
to the King. On receipt of James's letter he wrote
again to the Commissioners on the 16th September. It was a
mere artifice, he said, to win time, — as no doubt it was, to
stave off those ruthless hostilities for which Henry had made
such extensive preparations. The English Commissioners
must tell Lord Erskine and his fellows that no delay
could be permitted, and that if this was the object he
must not repair to the King; but they must endeavour
to learn from him in confidence the substance of his
message, and inform the King beforehand. At the
1 No. 778.
xl
same time they were directed, if the Scots, alarmed a
the preparations of war, showed themselves too eager to
accept conditions, to insist upon six, or at least four,
hostages, " of great estimation," such as three earls and
a bishop, or three earls and three others, being given
up before they left. Meanwhile they were to consider
how border fortresses might be ° taken and fortified,
without notable charge, for the enlargement of the
frontier," and how Scotch ships found in Leith harbour
might be used to destroy the corn and cattle in the
Orkney and Shetland islands from which Scotland derived
considerable supplies. Some further directions were added
relating to the services due from the Borderers.1
X
The Commissioners of both kingdoms, as appointed,
met at York on the 18th. Those on the English side were
the Duke of Norfolk, Fitzwilliam, earl of Southampton,
Tunstall, bishop of Durham, and Sir Anthony Browne.
The Scotch were Robert Reid, bishop of Orkney, Lord
Erskine, and James Leirmonth. The English proceeded
upon their first instructions, and asked what the Scots
had to propose. They said a perpetual peace, and made no
difficulty about the restoration of the prisoners if other
things were agreed. Pressed further, they said Eosse
herald had promised Henry that their master would deliver
them upon his word or writing desiring it, and though
they had no special instructions they were sure there
would be no difficulty — the prisoners would be restored
without ransom. The English then said they had com-
mission for a league defensive and offensive, which showed
their King's cordiality ; but there could be no true amity
if one prince could damage the other, and each prince
must be bound not to make war at the bidding of a third.
INo. 779.
xli
The Scots replied that they had old leagues with France,
which they were not entitled to break. u So have we,"
said the English ; " but if the Emperor or the French King
" broke with us, it is not for you to do so at another Prince's
" request." And they went on to talk about English
traitors harboured in Scotland, the recent ineffectual
conferences about boundaries and the still more recent
excursions and slaughters ; which led to a discussion
between the representatives of the two countries as to
which had taken the initiative.1
Next morning the Scotch said that in order to make
a treaty on new lines they must refer to their master,
and showed his signed instructions to that effect ; but
they knew he had no desire to break with the King
for any Prince living. The outrages were but trifles
and James had more desire for England's amity than for
anything else. If so, the others asked why he had not
come to the King on his promise last year ? The Scots,
in reply, said they were sure their master would willingly
send instructions both for the amity and for the meeting.
The English said they could not protract the time if
answer did not come at once ; and even if the meeting
were concluded, hostages would have to be given, else
the King could not stay his preparations. This suggestion
alarmed the Scots. Their nobles were so suspicious, they
could never be got to go to England ; it would be easier
to induce the King himself to go thither in post, and the
Ambassadors themselves would be hostages till he came.
They swore by all that was holy that they did not dis-
semble, and they believed that before Christmas their
master might be induced to come. They would write,
however, about earls being sent for hostages, but had
1 No. 807.
xlii
very little hope. They promised an answer in two
days.1
On receiving the report of these conferences Henry
expressed great approbation of the proceedings of his
Commissioners, and instructed them, if the Scots showed
the same sincerity on the return of their messenger, to
conclude a perpetual peace for the lives of the two
sovereigns, and, if the Scots desired it, to continue to
their posterity. But they must demand that the exception
of France should be left out of the treaty, which was
to be made as effectual as possible against all potentates,
spiritual or temporal. Also, the King of Scots must come
to the King before Christmas ; all prisoners in Scotland
must be at once freely delivered with horse and gear;
the hostages must remain till the Scotch King's coming
and the conclusion of the treaty, and then the King of
Scots must dissolve his frontier garrisons as the English
would do likewise. If the difficulty about getting earls
for hostages proved insuperable, the three Ambassadors
might suffice if they signed a writing apart, showing why
they remained. If agreement could be come to under
these instructions, the Commissioners might at once stay
the coming forward of the shires within Norfolk's Commis-
sion.2 But to remove the scruples of the Scots about
France, they should show them how the French in former
treaties with England had "provided for themselves with-
out regard for the Scots."3
The King appears to hawe been quite elated at the
prospect of getting Scotland thus easily under his control.
Yet possibly, when Chapuys asked him about the prospect
of peace or war with that country, he showed himself a
degree more sanguine than he really was, speaking of
1 No. 807. 2 See No. 714 (19). The musters in No. 882 had probably nothing
to do with this matter. 3 No. 823.
xliii
some things as accomplished facts which were really no
more than anticipations. He believed, he said, that there
would be no war, as the Scots had already agreed to
release all the prisoners, to give compensation for injuries,
and to make a league without reserving France, promising
also that their King would come to London before Christ-
mas.1 James, however, had no mind to come so far, if
it could be avoided ; and at the next meeting of the
Commissioners, the Scots only showed powers to agree
to a royal meeting at York or Newcastle. The English,
on this, were indignant. They said their King could never
go to York for a meeting after last year's disappointment,
and as the previous commissions of the Scots to treat for
a peace were at the same time revoked, the army must
at once proceed. The Scotch Commissioners were dismayed,
not expecting the matter to be taken up so sharply, and
offered to agree that their master should go to London.
The English replied that they were trifling if they had
no commission to that effect, and at last they produced in-
structions signed by their King, enabling them to agree to
some other place than those above named. The English said
that was a warrant to them to treat, but not to the English
to conclude with them. They said everything would be
concluded at the meeting touching rebels and bounds,
and the amity made so strong that they should not break
with England for the sake of any other potentate. When
shown how the Scots had been left out by France in the
last treaty, they said there would be no difficulty on that
subject at the meeting. But the English answered that
a treaty made at the meeting would be in vain, their
master not being at liberty. The Scots said James might
before he left Scotland give a commission to some of his
1 No. 852.
xliv
subjects to conclude, and confirm the treaty after his
return; whereas, if they insisted on concluding the amity
before the meeting, the whole Scotch Council would ask,
Where was the necessity for the meeting?1
After much debate the Scots agreed to send in all haste
for an absolute Commission without determining the place,
and offered to remain as pledges till everything was per-
formed. They thought their master would be at York
about St Andrew's day (30 Nov.) and with the King
before Christmas ; and they desired that upon the conclusion
of their meeting the armies might be dissolved. The
English insisted that the prisoners should be restored
first; but the Scots replied that they should be restored
on the disbanding of the armies, or sooner if Henry
wrote to demand them. They agreed that their master
should come to London. He only waited for his Queen's
confinement before setting out; which was expected about
Martinmas (llth Nov.). They were quite unable to
obtain earls as hostages.2
On receipt of this despatch the King at once instructed
the Commissioners to insist on peremptory conditions or
go forward with the enterprise without delay. The Scotch
Ambassadors must agree in writing to deliver the prisoners
immediately, before the army was disbanded, as otherwise
the Scots might use them as hostages for their own
pledges in England. They must also agree in writing
that their King should repair to London before Christmas
" without ifs and ands of his wife," considering how
commonly women misreckoned their time, they three and
some other noblemen, if possible, remaining as pledges.
And since they now declined to conclude an amity till
their King came, the pledges must remain till, after his
1 No. 853. 2 16.

return home, he had ratified the treaty. Only on these
terms, and on knowledge that the Scots had disbanded
their army, should the English do the like, and dismiss
the Border garrisons.1
On the 5th October the Commissioners wrote that the
Scotch herald had brought answer from his King the
day before, giving his Ambassadors an absolute commission
for a meeting without restraint of place. The delay, he
said, had been due to the opposition of several of the
Scotch Council, who even blamed the Ambassadors for
desiring the meeting. Their King, however, sent them
instructions restraining their commission. He could go
no further than York, and not before the 15th January ;
but if Henry could not come so far he would agree to
some such place as Huntingdon. The English replied
that whereas their former commission was restricted to
York, but their instructions gave them greater liberty,
now it was just the reverse and the liberty before given
to them was restrained. The Scots, however, regretted
that they could not agree to the meeting at London, and
as to the delivery of the prisoners they were referred to
their first instructions — that they should be restored on a
letter from Henry to their master. And as to horse and
gear, these could not be restored, as they were carried off
by Englishmen of Tynedale as well as by Scotchmen; but
the prisoners should be delivered without ransom. They
finally showed a letter from the Secretary of Scotland,
warning them to make no further concessions, for the
Council would sooner venture battle.2
The Scotch Council had very naturally taken alarm at
the proposal that their King should visit Henry in London.

But it was bad diplomacy to make concessions first and
then withdraw them. The English Commissioners were
now clear that the whole army must receive marching
orders. But as with all their secret preparations that
army could not be at Newcastle before the 15th, they
still gave the Scots fair words, agreeing that they should
write again to their master as they themselves would do
to Henry, although they said they were sure he would
not relax his terms.1 Next day they received a visit
from the Scotch Commissioners, who, fully impressed with
the serious character of the crisis, begged leave for their
colleague Leirmonth to repair to the King his master,
saying his presence would do more good than letters.
This the English refused, and the. Scots then begged
that he might go to the King of England ; to which they
at once acceded, as it might prevent the Scots u giving
" the first buffet," and the King could put off the time
till his own army was quite ready.2
The English Commissioners resolved to leave York
for Newcastle on Sunday, the 8th, or Monday, the 9th
October, taking the Scots along with them ;3 and mean-
while they instructed the Duke of Suffolk, who had
been appointed to replace the Earl of Rutland as
Warden,4 to advance and take the command of forces
on the Borders.5 But as " the dogs of war " were to
be let slip at last, the Commissioners apparently desired
to know on what pretext. It was always customary to
make some defiance or declaration of war before
commencing hostilities, giving the reasons for the rupture.
What was to be the form of the defiance made to
Scotland?6 The answer was that the King thought no
formal " indiction " of war necessary in this case,
1 No. 906. 2 No. 910. 3 16. 4 Nos. 778-9. 5 No. 910. 6 Ib.

seeing that hostilities had been openly begun (as he
asserted) by the Scots, and the prisoners in Scotland
had not been put to ransom. The great object, however,
was to " purge the dishonor " done to the realm by the
reports of the Scots that Bowes and his men had fled before
an inferior force of Scots, and no conditions must be
accepted until a lt notable exploit " had been done
towards that object and the Scots were driven to make
greater offers.1
Yet, though war with Scotland had been intended for
months past, and preparations secretly pushed on, things
were by no means in that state of readiness that might
have been expected. The attempt to rush matters had
indeed been found impracticable. The Duke of Norfolk
had left the Court in August, intending to enter Scotland
with an army on the 29 September — the day which
the King immediately afterwards prescribed as the
limit for the York conferences. But his services were
required as one of the Commissioners there, and he was
directed to delay the invasion till the 6th October, against
which date he was to have levies ready from Yorkshire
and the bishopric of Durham. The Duke of Suffolk was
also sent down to take Eutland's place on the borders as
Warden during Norfolk's entry and to give order to
the 6,000 men in the garrisons, who were to be employed
in devastating the country in Norfolk's rear.2 But the
conferences with the Scotch Commissioners continued
even to that very date — the 6th October — to which the
invasion had been postponed, and on that morning Leir-
mooth was allowed to go to the King as if peace were
still possible. These delays, however, were all welcome,
and indeed necessary for the English themselves. The

problem how to victual so large an army was more
serious than it was at first conceived to be ; and still
more perplexing was the lack of beer. Sir George
Lawson at Berwick could do nothing towards furnishing
such a host for an eight days' invasion. They must
depend on the supplies sent from London, and the Privy
Council doubted if they could procure one tun more
than they had done already.1
There were also other difficulties to be adjusted.2 There
were no tents in the North for the King's army ; the
supplies of wheat and malt there were limited ; there
were few mills to grind corn,3 and there was great lack
of casks and of brewhouses. The King's ships laden
with victuals for the army, and also with ordnance,
were awaited anxiously at Berwick and Newcastle, but
were delayed so long by contrary winds that orders
were sent for the levies to defer their setting out for
six days.4 One ship was lost near Yarmouth in a storm ;
another had to throw some of her cargo overboard.5 The
Commissioners at York, especially Southampton, were
driven nearly to despair.6 When at last ships with men
and provisions from Norfolk and Suffolk reached New-
castle, the ships with ordnance, beer, and coopers' things
were still wanting.7 These, however, arrived safely in
time ;8 but the ordnance, now that it was come, was not
very serviceable. The master gunners proved all the
"basses" and found but one whole. The ordnance had
not been properly tested before it was sent; "the fore-
locckes breakys and ryves, evyn bye chambyrs,"9 wrote Sir

Arthur Darcy, so that none of them would serve.
Moreover, it was well the guns had not been lost on
the voyage ; for the Mary Flower that carried the great
ordnance sprang a leak and had to transfer her load to
another ship at Yarmouth.1
To add' to the trouble, before the Commissioners left
York the Earl of Southampton fell ill, and he reached
Newcastle in a litter, where he died the day after his
arrival. His last moments were embittered by dis-
appointment at not being able to serve in the expedition,
and Norfolk saw himself bereft of his only experienced
general except Sir Anthony Browne, the half brother
of the deceased veteran. He hoped the Lord Admiral
(Lord Eussell), would be despatched northwards to
take the command of Southampton's men.2
Henry had just lost the day before another devoted
servant in Sir Thomas Wyatt. The King had sent him
to meet a special ambassador from the Emperor, the
Sieur de Courrieres, who had arrived at Falmouth on
the 3rd October; but he took ill upon the road and
died two days later.3 He is better known to posterity
as a poet than as a diplomatist ; and with all his great
abilities, perhaps his admirers might wish that less still
were known of his doings in the latter capacity.
As to the enterprise against Scotland we pass over
some points not without interest, such as the arrival
of Rosse herald at Newcastle with letters from James V.,
which the Scotch Ambassadors would not open till their
fellow Leirmonth's return from Henry VIII.4 The King
did not follow Norfolk's advice to send Lord Russell
to the North but entrusted his own brother-in-law, the

Earl of Hertford, with the command of Southampton's
men.1 And Hertford joined Norfolk at Berwick late on
the 21st, just in time for the invasion; which is reckoned
to have begun that very day, though the army had not
yet cleared the bounds of Berwick. Indeed it was to have
begun on Friday, the 20th, but by another piece of ill-luck
the bridge at Berwick broke with the multitude of people,
and five men were drowned and a number seriously
injured. Writing to the Council on the 22nd Norfolk
declared that the great enterprise was not feasible for
lack of victuals. The men had been compelled to drink
nothing but water for four days on the march, and
though they had beer on the 21st there was only
enough for six days more. The Duke and the other
commanders would do what they could for those six
days, aye, and for three days further, even though they
only drank water.2 On the 27th they wrote from Kelso3 that
they must turn homewards. The army had been poorly fed
all the way from York to Berwick. Since entering Scotland
they had drunk nothing but water during five days,
and they had eaten no bread since they left Newcastle
four days before they came to Berwick. The commanders
never thought Englishmen could endure such privations
and yet be so willing to go forward. The ways were
so bad that the .wains broke and precious drink was
lost; while guns and carriages were with difficulty
brought along. The greatest march they had been able
to make was only five miles in a day (which, however,
must mean at least seven or eight of our statute miles).
Sir Anthony Browne, nevertheless, had on the 26th
ridden six miles further and burnt eleven of the best

li
towns and villages in the Merse, destroying an immense
quantity of corn ; and meanwhile the camp had burned the
town and abbey of Kelso " which was reckoned the
Edinburgh of the Merse and Teviotdale." But in two days
19 men had died of drinking puddle-water, and from lack
of victuals. Their next letters were dated from Berwick
on the 29th.1
So after all their preparations for an invasion with
overwhelming force, the English had just been able to
march from Berwick to Kelso along the north side of
the Tweed and return by the south side, laying waste,
indeed, the richest district in the Scotch Borders, but
not daring to advance any further within Scottish
ground ! In eight days they were back again at the
place whence they had set out. From the first news of
the difficulties about transport the King was grieved that
so little damage was likely to be done to the enemy
after such vast expense,2 and he did not conceal his
disappointment at the actual failure.3 With better
arrangements hereafter he hoped to do what could not
be effected then. Meanwhile they must lay garrisons for
the winter and guard against any attempt of the Scots
to revenge themselves.
We are told in Hall's Chronicle that on the fourth day
of the invasion the bishop of Orkney and James
Leirmonth came to the Duke, then encamped at a place
called Farneton, to treat of peace, but were dismissed
without a hearing. It appears this was Fernyrig, four
miles north of Coldstream.4 Leirmonth, it is clear, had
just returned from Greenwich, where, after unsatisfactory

Hi
interviews with the Council (for he was not allowed to see
the King) he was again "remitted to the Commissioners,"
of whom Norfolk was tLe chief,1 and so made one final
effort to stay hostilities upon the Borders.
Abundant as the Border correspondence is during the
next few weeks, space warns us to be brief. The
devastations committed in Scotland apparently prevented
immediate retaliation.2 But Henry, though he had
thought an u indiction " of war unnecessary, on the
pretence that the Scots began it when they were actually
suing for peace, now found it advisable, in the
beginning of November, to publish a manifesto declaring
his reasons for entering into it and the claim which he
might put forward to the sovereignty of Scotland.3 An
attempt of the Scots to garrison Coldingham induced
Hertford to order the neighbouring garrisons to collect
at Berwick at night (13 Nov.) and burn the town and
abbey there;4 and this advantage was followed up three
days later by the burning of places which maintained 140
ploughs.5 English ships visited the Forth and burned
Aberdour; the Scots feared that they would make a
bulwark on Inchkeith.6 Sir Thomas Wharton also gave
a good account of his activity on the West Borders.7
James V. and Cardinal Beton both wrote to the Pope
to use his influence with Christian princes to protect
Scotland against unprovoked aggression. The only real
cause why Henry VIII. made war upon them, they
said, was that James would not join Henry in his
revolt against the Holy See and take his part against
his own father-in-law, Francis I.8 And this, as regards
the Pcpe, was equally the opinion of an English Calvinist

liii
at Constance, and of another at Strasburg, writing freely
on these matters to Bullinger.1 The Scots stood in fear
of a "warden raid" to burn Jedburgh.2 In Novem-
ber, James proclaimed a muster at Lauder, with a view
to punish the English aggressions.3 fie detained Somer-
set herald and Berwick pursuivant, whom the Duke of
Norfolk had just sent him with a new demand for
the liberation of the prisoners of Hadden Rig.4 But
instead of attacking the East Borders from Lauder, he
diverged by Melrose and Hawick to the south-west;
and it did not escape the knowledge of English spies that
at least one raid was in contemplation which would be
upon the Sol way about the rivers Esk and Leven.
Indeed more precise reports presently came to hand that
James was sending 9,000 men before him to invade the
Grahames in the West Marches, and would not meddle
with the East Marches at all.5
Sir Thomas Wharton, at Carlisle, was, there-
fore, not taken unprepared, as some historians
tell us. He was fully warned6 what to expect ;
and even before receiving definite information, he had
heard of great assemblies in Scotland, and had written
secretly on the 18th for all the gentlemen of the West
Marches to be at Carlisle on the 22nd November after
sunset. With these, though some failed to keep their
appointment, he made next day a raid to Middlebie, which
he burned, and went on burning houses and corn upon the
Kirtle on his way back.7 On the 24th the Scots came over
from the Debateable Land before daybreak in numbers
reckoned at 18,000, and burned the Grahames' houses
1 Nos. 1,073, 1,218. It should be noted that if the invasion of England, which shortly
afterwards took place with such unfortunate results had been successful, Cardinal
Beton and the Earl of Murray would have entered England at Coldstream and laid
the country under interdict. No. 1157.

upon the Esk. But Wharton at once made speed towards
them with a force of no more than 3,000, sending forward
border spears " to prick at them." The noblemen and
gentlemen of the Scotch Army lighted off their horses, but
the host durst not give battle and they mounted again.
Then some of the Musgraves and Grahames turned upon
the invaders, who began to withdraw " softly. >? Their
retreat soon became a rout; and finding a moss on their
left hand, and the river Esk before them, now swollen by
the tide, which was low when they first crossed,1 they
tried to escape by a ford "beside Arthuret mill."
Many were drowned in the attempt — ten bodies were
drawn from the Esk by fisher nets three days after —
twenty men were slain and 1,200 prisoners were taken,
among whom were two earls, five barons, and 500 Scotch
lairds and gentlemen.2
Of the causes of this disgraceful rout — though some,
perhaps, may be found indicated in the papers of this
Volume — it is not for us to speak. The result was, of
course, to give Henry an enormous and unlocked for
advantage in his dealings with Scotland. The English
prisoners in that country were now far more than
counterbalanced, both in weight and in number, by the
Scotch prisoners of the Solway Moss ; and Henry's
designs began to take new forms, of which we defer to
speak till the appearance of the next Yolume of this
Calendar. But the climax of Scotland's misery and of
England's gain was only reached three weeks later. The
night before the invasion the King of Scots had rested
at Lochmaben, from which he went on to Burnswarke
Hill to view the fire raised by his troops, intending, it

was said, next day to cross the Solway at low water
and burn the country west of Carlisle, as the first in-
vaders, he hoped, would already have devastated the east
side. After the overthrow of his army he betook himself
first to Tantallon, where he had a mistress more beloved
than his Queen, then approaching her lying-in at Lin-
lithgow; but he afterwards met his Council in Edinburgh.1
He then crossed the Forth and removed to Falkland,
where he took ill on the 6th December, and died at
midnight on Thursday, the 14th.2
It was not merely the mortification of a great defeat
that preyed upon his mind. This had been followed by
a most untoward event — the murder by English refugees
of Somerset herald when on his way back to England
with an answer from the Earl of Murray touching the
deliverance of the English prisoners in Scotland.3
Another event, which might have ministered consolation,
seems to have had rather the contrary effect, His Queen
gave birth to a child on the 8th, and notwithstanding
premature rumors of a boy it proved to be a girl.4 The
observation that James is said to have made on the subject
is well known.
The interest of the Scotch and Border correspondence
during the latter half of this year, 1542, has been such
as to prevent our noticing a variety of other subjects
which will be found mentioned here and there in the
papers of this Volume. Among these are the further
progress of the war between Francis and the Emperor,
the ineffectual efforts of the Pope to procure peace by
sending a legate to either Prince, the consequent hope-

Secretaries disclosing State secrets to the French and to

the Turks in Hungary ; and, nearer home, the submissions
of Irish chieftains, and the creation of the great O'Neil
as Earl of Tyrone. More purely domestic still and less
political, though reflecting in its own way the character
of the times, is the discussion of Sir John Cheke with
Bishop Gardiner as Chancellor of Cambridge on the pro-
nunciation of Greek. But these subjects we may leave to

points they are in quest of through the medium of the

1 Jan. 2. MARILLAC to FRANCIS I.
Although the talk about the marriage of Mons. d'Orleans and
Madame Marie was only between Norfolk and the writer, and
the last resolution was not to proceed further because he had
no special power, some days ago, this King, first by
his lord Privy Seal, and afterwards personally, did not
forbear to resume the subject. The Privy Seal having, before the
feast (Christmas), invited him to his house, said his master marvelled
that, since the common voice in France was that this marriage was
concluded, 'Marillao did not pursue what he had commenced; for if he
showed a suitable credence (pouvoir pour estre creuj, the King would
listen favourably to the treaty of this new alliance. Then, adding
the substance of Marillac's conversations with Norfolk, he pressed
him to say what he thought about the matter. Replied.1 that this
subject had indeed been put forward during the journey in the
North, but they had objected that Marillac had1 no special power
to treat, and he had answered that such a power would come soon enough
when affairs were in terms to be concluded, when Francis would send one
of those nearest" his person of reputation and authority to take the final
resolution. Said this because the preliminary discussion could not affect
the parties, and therefore the power would serve for little, and because
he was still awaiting Francis's reply as to whether he would send the
power or not. The lord Privy Seal, perceiving that he gave no
assurance touching this power, then said he would speak again with
the King his master, to know if he would be satisfied with a letter of
credence; praying Marillac to use his good offices, and' making a long
discourse of the amity between the Kings, which gave good hope that
this practice would take effect. Answered simply that he would not
write of it unless they gave him occasion, seeing the reply he had already
received.
Afterwards the lord Privy Seal twice intimated that this King wished to
speak with Marillac, and assigned him the day before yesterday ; but when
he appeared1, whether the Emperor's ambassador, who had been there all
the day before, had changed their opinion, or whether they wished to
dissemble the fact that they had re-opened the subject and sent for
Marillac (of which, perhaps, they repented), they held very distant
language. The whole Court seemed confused, the T£ing little joyous,
and his ministers pensive and melancholy. Remained with them half

the day without anyone speaking to him save the lord Privy Seal, who
asked whether he had anything to communicate. On his reply that he
was only come at the King's command, the lord Privy {Seal said it was
their custom to call the ambassadors during the solemn feasts ; and, after
talking about trifles and going and returning twice or thrice from the place
where his master was, when Marillac was taking leave of him to depart,
a lord of this Court (whom he had instructed beforehand) came to say
that the King wished to speak with Marillac. It was to tell the substance
of the above-mentioned matter; and, receiving the same answer, the
King said he wished to explain that he insisted upon a power because
Marillac's predecessors had divers times proposed marriages on the
strength of their general credence as ambassadors, but, instead of the
matters taking effect, advantage was taken of his openness in declaring
his intention to prove that he was trying to nourish discord between
Francis and the Emperor. To avoid such reproaches in future, he wished
to have something to build upon, but would be satisfied with letters of
credence for what Marillac had to say about this marriage. The inference
is that the said letters should specify in words the marriage between the
said lord and lady, which almost amounts to a special power, unless they
were so put as to form a credence to speak of the matter of Mons.
d'Orleans and Madame Marie without specifying marriage or new treaty,
but it is doubtful whether such a credence would content them, for the
King's words were that he wished something to show that an overture
for a new treaty had been made to him. Promised nothing except to
write about it. Asks whether to hold things in suspense or take advantage
of the Emperor's affairs to proceed to a speedy conclusion.
Lord William reported here all that he heard in France touching
this alliance, and that Francis had decided to send a man hither. Thinks
this must be he who was to bring Francis's condolences about the King's
misfortune as regards the Queen. Was questioned about him, but always
answered that he knew nothing; and, finally, seeing no one come, he,
in pursuance of Francis's letters, prayed this King to believe that the
shame did not extend beyond the delinquent, and to forget his grief,
which could only hurt and no wise profit him. He gave thanks for Francis's
good counsel and comfort, and said he would see that this affair hurt
neither his body nor his conscience. Must add here that the Emperor's
ambassador was called) to Court the day after Marillac had been
there, as he was the day before, and that, both days, he talked
with the King three or four hours after dinner, and all the
morning with the Council. Presumably either he is essaying whether
this lady can be placed with the Emperor (or at least not given to Francis),
or else there may well have been some discourse that the Emperor will
make his loss less than it is, and they will promise marvels to make him
persist in keeping what he occupies from Francis. It weighs upon them
to see the Emperor so reduced (either by weakness caused by the routs
which he and his brother have suffered, or by being compelled to defend
themselves, the one against Barbarossa, who is already out, and the other
against the Grand Seigneur', who designs to invade Hungary) that he is
constrained either to satisfy Francis (de vous faire la raison) or else to
waste his strength in, making war in other quarters. They can see that
the victory inclines to Francis when the Emperor has been put to expense,
while he remains the stronger against his enemy and a no less suspected
neighbour to them ; which seems the chief cause of their melancholy, for
they cannot refrain from often lamenting the loss which the Emperor
and his brother have this year suffered.
33 HENRY VIII.
1542.
The ambassadors who were to come from Scotland arrived here yester-
day, and are the bps. of Aberdeen and Orkney and the Justice Clerk,*
with a troop of 50 or 60 horse. No one was sent to meet them, and it is
not known when they will have audience; after which Marillac reckons
to communicate with them. Parliament commences on the 15th inst.,
when Norfolk should be back, but whether in his former credit is not
certain. Lord William, his wife, his sister, f and three or four ladies of
his mother's house have been condemned to perpetual imprisonment for
not revealing the Queen's incontinency before the King married her.
Lord William is the least charged, and will, it is hoped, soon be released.
The rest of the prisoners for this matter are reserved to be judged by
Parliament, viz., the old duchess of Norfolk and the lady of Rochefort.
Thinks he will then have matter to write, for it is generally held that
things will soon be seen which will seem to many people very strange.

Depositions of a great number of persons as to articles which they
carried away from the abbey (or knew others to have carried away) and
which were bought of servants of Robt. Acton. The articles are glass,
lead, locks, hinges, woodwork, &c., and the sums paid for them small.
One of the first witnesses deposes that he heard two men say that they
heard another say that he had said to Mr. Acton, at London, as they rode
in a boat over Temys, towards Sowthewark, tha,t two of his (Acton's)
servants had sold iron and lead ; also that a serving woman told him she
saw one come by night from Hailes, to her master's house with certain
locks. She said to her master, " Alas ! why do you receive thus this stuff ? "
and he replied, " Hold thy peace, for it is there now catch that may catch."
Amongst the deponents are the parsons of Battashere, and Condicote (both
named Nic. Wike), Kenelm Deane, parson of Stanton, and men of Sto Saint
Eduard, Langbarough, Condicote, Todington, Chirchestannay, Winche-
oumbe, Wodstanway, Stanley, Pynnocke, Didbroke and Heiles. Many of
the depositions are followed by notes by the commissioners, who conclude,
" Item, there be many divers spoils daily done within the said late
monastery to a great substance over and above these above written, but
by whom as yet it is unknown" Signed : John Bryggys, Ryoharde Tracy,

4 Jan. 9. PAGET to HENRY VIII.
J*' p ' Has of late received a letter from the Council containing a declara-
vm. 647. tion of certain persons committed to ward, with an abridgment of the
cause and instruction how to answer if questioned about them.
The Privy Council here have dissolved their continual sitting; but,
since he last wrote, some of them have sat harder than before, for, for
four or five days after the coming of " him of Liege," those of the Privy
Council attending on the King at his dinner talked only of their secret
matters, the ushers setting the meat upon the table and departing.
Every day after dinner, the four captains* (who were to be despatched the
* Of Wolfgang Count Palatine. See Vol. XVI.. No. 1,427.
33 iiENKY VIII. 5
1542.
day before he last wrote, and were stayed) sat with the Privy Council,
"and he of Liege with them," of whom none but the Council knew
"whence he came nor whither he would." Those who before informed
Paget of the enterprise of Liege said nothing of his being here. " Well
entertained they were, secretly, and great cheer was made unto them and
also to them of Denmark," and, since their departing, there has been little
or no sitting at Council. War is looked for immediately in Flanders,
Navarre, and Italy, " which the French king saith he counteth his own, and
to have the Bishop of Rome at the least neuter," whose nephew, Signor
Horacio, although but 12 or 14 years old, is admitted' to the King's service,
with chamber, wardrobe and kitchen in the Court, much honoured here and
accompanied by Fregosa's two sons, to whom the King has given two
abbeys vacated by the death of the bp. of Limoges. Paris has granted
the King 100,000 crs. ; and 700,000 fr. are appointed to be levied in the
rest of the kingdom, with three-tenths of the clergy; all to be levied
before Easter, the Cardinals paying first, for an example. The common
boxes of the churches are to be brought to the King's treasurers forthwith,
and all money that can be got at Lyons is forestalled at 16 per cent.
Armourers and furbishers work day and night. The duke of Orleans
sets the arms of Milan on his armour. The Emperor's ambassador says
that in speaking to the Admiral for restitution of a Spanish carvel taken
at Rochelle he asked the meaning of the levying of so many men. The
Admiral answered that it was " to rescue the Emperor if need had been " ;
and caused the carvel to be delivered at once.
The chancellor of Alan9on, who is in great favour with the Queen of
Navarre, is sent to this Diet at Spire. Cannot learn the cause, for the
person who can tell best, and whom he covertly mentioned in his last
letter to Mr. Secretary, is lately "more stranger" to him. Is credibly
informed that he goes to accuse the Emperor of the death of Fregosa
and Ryncon, and insinuate to the Princes that the Emperor has "given
an occasion of the breach of the truce." It is said that the Grand Seigneur
makes a greater army than ever, to invade Hungary this summer, and
that Marillac, ambassador in England, shall be recalled and sent to him.
The bp. of Yvree, fearing to go to Rome and coming hither, was counter-
manded by the King, who accuses him of conveying away the six Spaniards,
and has taken from him an abbey in Piedmont; so he is out of favour
both with the King and the Bishop of Rome. Two ambassadors were
lately here from Genoa, to thank the King for restoring them to freedom
of merchandise ; which is granted, not for the constancy which he expects
to find in them, but because the prohibition, which was aimed against the
Genevoys (Genoese), was found to cost the King, at each of the four annual
marts of Lyons, 30,000 fr. for pickage, stallage and awlnage and 14 cr. for
each mule load of silk.
Mo<ns. St. Pierre, bp. of Dade,* brother to Mons. de Guyshe, who was
ambassador in England, is sent, with a maitre, d'hotel of the Queen, to
the king of Portugal, to demand her daughter, Lady Marie, whom she had
by King Emanuel, upon pretence that she shall be bestowed upon the
duke of Orleans ; for in the marriage which was bruited here to be with
Lady Marie of England the French king will proceed no further until he
knows the king of Scots' mind, to whom he has sent Mons. de Mprvillee,
as Paget wrote before. The Portuguese ambassador says that his King,
* Claude de ia Guiche, bp. of Agde and prior of St. Pierre de Maeon. He was
the SOD, not the brother, of Pierre seigneur de la Guiche, who was ambassador in England
in 1515 and 1517. But though Pierre is said to have died in 15W at the age of 80, the seig-
neur de la Guiche, who was in England in 1531 and 153* was probably his son Gab]
who, it is said, was dispatched on embassy to the King of England and made a treaty
with him. See Anselme, VII.,

having an inkling of Mons. Dade's coming, who was kept waiting at
Bierne for his passport through Spain, will be guided by the Emperor;
for he thinks the French would set little store by the lady if they once
had the money her father bequeathed her. Don Loys goes this spring to
Africa, to make war upon one Sheref, who has driven the king of Phese
out of a city called Caput Ege, on the sea coast.
President Gentile, who has been long in prison here, is promised pardon,
partly at the suit of Signor John Paulo, now in Rome, son of Signer
Renzo, dec., and partly upon his promise to show the King how to win
much money of his treasurers. Upon rumor that Grandvele's son and
others should, this feast, be made Cardinals, Mons. de Ravy is sent to
Rome to purchase a Cardinal's hat for the Chancellor. Upon Christmas
eve arrived, at Fontainebleau, Mons. Jeronimus, servant to the Prince of
Salerne, to purchase his master's safe conduct through France, which it is
thought he shall scantily obtain.
Saw letters, received from Italy on Sunday last, showing that Grandvela
had been in great danger by a sudden commotion at Senes, caused by the
Emperor, at his being at Luke with the Bishop of Rome, promising to
bestow Senes upon the duke of Camarin, the Bishop's nephew, son-in-law
to the Emperor. The letter mentioned other agreements which probably
Henry already knows of, the effect of which was that the Bishop promised
the Emperor all the country of Romagna, Bologna,, all the signory of Signor
Ascanio de Cologna and country of Count Petylan with a great sum of
money, and, in return, the Emperor would give to the duke of Camarin
all Tuscania, Senes, Florencia, Pisa, Parma, Plaoenza, and Aquila in
Neapoli. Thus the Bishop intends to advance his own family, "and to
leave the Church (as they call it) in his primitive poverty." To win the
French king's goodwill, he will offer him Avignon.
The bp. of Valence, who was stayed at Lyons, is now in Castel Galyard
by Rouen. Humble thanks for the augmentation of his diets. Will
return, as a tree of the King's own grafting, all the fruit he can. Paris,

Commendations to Mrs. Scudamore. Has sold such of the stuff
of the late priory of Worcester which remained in the custody of the
Dean as is appointed by Mr. Chancellor's note in the inventory. Has
received the money, except 13s. 2d. for things bought by Scudamo-re's
servant Baston. The counterboard in the great chamber was bought
before he came to Worcester. He has another in manner as good. There
is stuff remaining at Batenhall, which Mr. Borne hath in ferme, appraised
at 58s. IQd. Old Borne has asked time till Candlemas, to see whether his
son will have them,. He is bound to pay for them then, or else to bring a
discharge. Sends a list of other parcels in the custody of Mr. More,
quondam prior of Worcester, whose chaplain has promised to give Burgoyn
an answer about them to-day, at Evesham. He claims them by his patent,
but Burgoyn told his chaplain that one of his best beds and coverlets
had been sold, and that he intended them for Scudamore. Will send the
chaplain to Scudamore, to take an order for them. Carries with him 144 ozs.
of plate, which he has received for the King's uae. Has reserved for the
King 10 copes of green velvet, a cope of needlework, wrought with gold,
and " a coope, priest, decon and subdecon " of red velvet, embroidered.
The Dean has required to have the delivery of them to Mr. Chancellor
himself, hoping to obtain them again for the use of the Church, as they
are but coarse. He is bound either to deliver them to the Chancellor
before the Purification of Our Lady or to produce a discharge for them from
him. The Dean is still charged with all articles appointed in the inventory
for him, the church, or the body of the house, until the college is fully estab-
lished and commissioners appointed to set it in order. As to Lorrymer's
daughter, Mr. Packyngton thinks that she cannot claim by her grand-
father, because of the feoffment, and she cannot be heir to her sister
Margery, because of the half-blood; and that if there are none of the
whole blood, it will escheat to the lord. Mr. and Mrs. Packyngton wish
they could have seen Scudamore at their house, and had provided a fat
swan for him. My lord Suffraganf sends commendations. Wednesday,
at my departing from Worcester.

Acknowledging her letter of the 29th ult., with enclosures relative

resolution on the business for which they were sent. Can offer no obser-

to his despatches of the 29th and 30th ult. Remonstrated with the

Councillors, who replied (as he reported 30 Dec.) that he was right, but
the people of the Low Countries had been the first to make of the accessory
point a principal one by joining it with others reflecting on their King,
such a.s the allegation in the Edict that he had framed statutes contra-
vening the treaties. To these arguments Chapuys made answer, and
they said no more.
It is quite true that Henry, before accepting the offer of marriage made
by the French ambassadors, told them he wished to be sure of the payment
of the sums the French owed him. It is also true that he has occasionally
lent an ear to the offer of a marriage between his daughter the Princess
and Francis's son — he calculating by that means to get back part of the
money due to him, and the French thinking, through the Princess's dowry,
to diminish their debts to him or obtain a respite for the remainder.
This is evident from Francis's letters to his ambassador here, of which
Chapuys sent copies, the aim being to deceive Henry and prevent him
joining the Emperor. This is proved by the fact that the ambassador is
half in despair of the negociation, and is already preparing to leave.
Indeed, my confidant says he has applied again and again for his recall,
and says that, at his last audience with the King, he complained bitterly
of his treatment at Court; also that on Sunday last, when he wished to
speak only about a French merchant ship, the King refused to see him,
and he could only speak with the Councillors.
Thinks the commission this King last gave to his ambassadors* and
the revocation that ensued were called forth by the ill-success of the
Emperor's expedition against Algiers; yet neither the King nor his
Councillors have been more arrogant in the pending negociations. If
they were at all influenced by that event, they dissembled and are
dissembling still till they see the turn of affairs between the
Emperor and Francis. If war is threatened, it will be very difficult
to get them to make a new league, which they have only pressed for
v»hen they feared the Emperor and Francis would combine against them.
Ten days ago the ambassadors of Scotland that were expected came
to London. The chief is the bp. of Aberdeen, who came here about nine
years ago; and with him is another bp.f and a secretary named Valentin.
They have been twice to Court, conducted by the bps. of Winchester and
London, and have been well received; but nothing is known of their
charge. The duke of Norfolk has been sent for to be present when they
officially declare it, as he was lately governor of the North. But, for all
their good reception, the King has within these three days sent to the
Borders the same master engineer, J who some time ago began a line of
defence on the Borders- London, 10 Jan. 1541.

C. 21 "[o.n. 33 in the year 37 Hen. VIII.}.* Attainder of Katharine
Howard and others. — Katharine Howard whom the King took to wife is
proved to have been not of pure and honest living before her marriage,
and the fact that she has since taken to her service one Francis Dereham,
the person with whom she " used that vicious life before," and has taken
as chamberer a woman who was privy to her naughty life before, is proof
of her will to return to her old abominable life. Also she has confederated
with lady Jane Rocheford, widow, late wife of Sin Geo. Boleyn, late lord
Rocheford, to " bring her vicious and abominable purpose to pass " with
Thos. Culpeper, late one of the King's Privy Chamber, and has met
Culpeper in " a secret and vile place," at 1 1 o'clock at night, and remained
there with him until 3 a.m., with only "that bawd, the lady Jane Roche-
ford." For these treasons, Culpeper and Dereham have been convicted
and executed, and the Queen and lady Rochford stand indicted. The
indictments of such as have lately suffered are hereby approved, and the
said Queen and lady Roohford are, by authority of this Parliament,
convicted and attainted of high treason, and shall suffer accordingly; and
the said Queen, lady Rocheford, Culpeper, and Dereham shall forfeit to
the Crown all possessions which they held on 25 Aug. 33 Hen. VIII. The

shall forfeit their goods to the King, and be imprisoned for life, and the
King shall take the revenues of their lands from 1 Oct. 33 Hen. VIII. for
term of their lives. To avoid doubts in future, it is declared that the
Royal assent given by commission shall be valid in all cases hereafter,

King or his Council, and that an unchaste woman marrying the King
shall be guilty of high treason.

(Almost the
whole text.)
What the Emperor's ambassador seeks hy going oftener to Court
than he was wont, as mentioned in his last of the 1st inst., [is] to obtain
money, ships arid succour on pretext of resuming the expedition of Alger ;
and he has even let out to Marillac's informant -that he expected soon to
see the two Princes bound closer in league than they ever were, and was
not past hope that the Emperor might espouse Madame Marie. Is assured
that the Emperor is trying to alienate Francis from the English, and will
accept anything by which he can get the angelots. Knows that the two
Princes have written to each other with their own hands; and it is held
certain that the bishop of London is chosen to «go as ambassador into
Spain, and (in order to carry his commodities better, or else to avoid
passing the French Court and waiting upon Francis, after the bad office
he did there two years ago) intends to go by sea.
The day before yesterday, the 16th (sic,)* inst., this King, with his dukes,
earls, and " lordz," all the prelates, and deputies for the people, opened
Parliament with the accustomed solemnity. In it will be determined
the matter (faict) of this last Queen, who is still at Syon Abbey, more
closely guarded than before, which is no good omen for her, and of the
other ladies guilty in the business, such as the old duchess of Norfolk and
the lady of Roc-hefort. Also they talk of new laws against adulterers,
who are henceforth to be punishedi by death, and of an impost, or at least
exacting the rest of the impost made last year, of which only the half was
taken, and the rest remitted for four years, which will now be abridged
to four months. Norfolk has arrived in Court, apparently in his former
credit and authority. The deputy of Calais, lord de Lisles, who was made
prisoner in the Tower two years ago, is going to have his pardon- The
Order of the Garter is said to have been sent back to him, and indeed he has
liberty within the Tower, where he used to have but one narrow chamber.
The ambassadors of the King of Scotland let Marillac understand that
their affairs proceed well, and they have written by this despatch to the
Cardinal of St. Andrews to communicate them to Francis. Has not enquired
further, and they have not yet dared to come to him, to a.void the suspicion
of those with whom they must negociate. As to the marriage, last
despatch showed how the affair stood, and, as nothing more has happened,
he can add nothing, but awaits Francis's commands upon what he wrote.

17 Jan. 35. MARILLAC to the QUEEN OF NAVARRE.
R. o.
Kaulek, 381.
(The whole
text.)
His agent in the [French] Court has sent him the portrait and
letters which she delivered him, together with her advice about the re-
pudiated Queen, sister oi the duke of Cleves. As to what the Duke's am-
bassador has done in the past, thinks that, being only a minister, he could
do no less than what Marillac then wrote to the King. Encloses extract
from his (Marillac's) letters to the King, by which it ^appears that he (the
ambassador) had express command to1 negociate thus. 1'he ambassador,
having since received other letters from tne Duke, commanding (him to
follow up what he had commenced, would not do ,so without Marillac's
advice ; which was, to wait till Parliament decided what, should become of
this last Queen before speaking of the reconciliation of the other, since it
was esteemed that this King had rightly left her, and, at any rate, to defer
until Marillac had letters from the King or the Queen of Navarre. This
the Ambassador approved, preferring to keep things as they ,are rather
than hazard anything; and now the Queen of JNavarre's letters have
decided them not to proceed further without express instructions from
both the King and the Duke, as the Ambassador says he has already
written to his master.
As to her advice for the said lady, assures her that shet (the lady) wants
neither prudence nor patience. All her affairs could never make her
utter a word by which one might suppose that she waa discontented; nay,
she has always said she wished nothing but what pleased the King her
lord ; thus shqwing an example of rare patience in dissembling
passions common to everyone, which could only come of singular grace of
God and a heart resolved to accept what could not be remedied. She has
behaved, with her household, so wisely that those who visit her
marvel at such great virtue (honnesietej, others who hear of it are
loud in her praise, and all regret her much more than they did
the late Queen Katharine. The ambassador will give her the
portrait ; for, without this King's licence, Marillao could not speak
[with her]. It will be a great pleasure to her, as she has long desired
it. Has, as of himself, asked for hers, and expects to get it and
send it soon. She is very well, and said to be half as beautiful again since
she left Court. This last Queen is still at Syon. The assembly of estates,
called here the Parliament, commenced the day before yesterday, and will
determine her affair (faict). Norfolk has arrived in Court, apparently
with his former credit. The Scotch ambassadors say their affairs proceed
well, and they have written to the cardinal of St. Andrews to communicate
with the King. They have not yet dared to come to Marillac, because of
the suspicion it would) arouse in those with whom they have to negociate.
The end of this Parliament) will give him enough to write about.

(Extract.)
Will only add to what he now writes to the King, that the English,
if not taken in time, are on the way to alienate themselves from the
French, thinking that they are made less of since the Emperor's reputa-
tion is diminished. Consequently (and such is the common bruit) they
will do their best to restore him. The Admiral knows how expedient it
is to keep the Emperor down, lest he should attempt in the future to
mount as high as he has done in the past, and [who it is] who could gain
the point that the English should be against him ; and, at the least, it would
be no small advantage to the King so to entertain them that they should

not aid our enemy. Desires the Admiral to consider whether it would not
bet well to seek them more earnestly, at least to temporise in some honest
sort. Suggests the putting forward of some practice of marriage or closer
amity. Otherwise, two dangers threaten. One is that in despite they give
Madame Marie to the Emperor, with a good sum of angdots, which is what
his Ambassador has been seeking ever since the misfortune of Argel;
the remedy being the marriage already proposed, for this King
will not disburse money for his daughter when he could place
her so high elsewhere without putting his hand in his pocket.
The other danger is more evident, and is that, when Marillac
, comes to propose such things, they should think and say they are only
sought during the Emperor's prosperity, when we> have need of them.
To avoid this, if the King does not wish to pursue the subject of the
marriage, Marillao should be replaced by another ambassador, who could
say he was ignorant of what his predecessor had1 done; for Marillac him-
self could only make poor excuses, which would! scarcely be sufficient to
efface that impression.

51. FRANCIS I. to MARILLAC.
Has received his letters of the 17th, and heard what he wrote to
the Admiral; and consequently thinks he should resume the question of
marriage with Norfolk, in whose absence (he shall say) he had proceeded
more coldly, lest the matter should pass by other hands. If it does not
seem expedient to apply to Norfolk, he shall apply to those who seem
most suitable (with the caution necessary there), and give them to under-
stand that the prosperity and adversity of the Emperor cannot alter
Fiancis's desire for their amity; and he may go so far as to say that if
he sees that the King of England wishes to go; through with this matter,
a power shall be produced.
Having heard the Cardinal of St. Andrews, orders Marillac to confer with
the Scottish ambassadors, and, jointly, appoint with the King of England
the interview of the three Kings (de nous trois). The Cardinal writes
to the ambassadors a letter which Marillac shall deliver. Even if they
are gone, he shall still put forward the said interview.
Is informed by the bp. of Montpellier of news at Venice that an Italian
gentleman named Beltrasmo Sacha has taken a. town called Marran,* which
belonged to the King of the Romans, and set up the French nag in it.
Has to-day called the ambassadors of the Pope, the Emperor, and Venice,
and informed them of this taking of Marran without his knowledge and
approval, and that the takers give him to understand that unless he
accords them his protection, they will make their profit of it elsewhere.
Asked the ambassadors' advice; and, after hearing them, although
informed that the King of the Romans has killed two of his (Francis's)
servants near Jarre, f has, -in order to justify himself and save Christendom,
written to the bp. of Montpellier, his ambassador at Venice, to exhort
Beltrasmo Sacha to surrender the place, as Francis is much
displeased with what had been done, and unless he surrenders it, will
never aid or protect him. Countersigned : Baiard.

•»> /-\
St. P. vin. Sends copy of a declamation in French (said to be by a gentleman
652. of this Court) made to Henry and his Council in the lady Anne of Cleves'
name, in which, under shadow of a humble and obedient oration, the
author goes about to confute Henry's just proceedings in the repudiation
of the said' lady. Will try to learn the author, and asks whether to com-
plain to the French King. The traitor, Blanche Rose, resorts sometimes
to Paris and shows himself gallantly all in white. As one of the Council,
knows that former ambassadors have required his delivery, and that, find-
ing the French King would not conform to the treaties, Henry has passed
the matter over. Begs instructions touching the said traitor, and also
if Norfolk, that ran away with the King's1 money, come in his way, whether
to cause him to be sent to England. Martin Pery, who fled from England
for clipping or coining money, dwells in Rouen. Is in doubt whether
he benefits by the pardon granted in last Parliament.
Signor Jeronimus has obtained the safe conduct for his master, the
prince of Salerne, and a certain number with him, none to be Spaniards.
Mons. de T'rafes, who has been out of favour for a murder, is returned to
Court and restored to favour. He passed his retirement at his castle of
Traafes, in the Franche Conte, which, on his return, he left in charge of
a trusty friend, who has betraved it to the Emperor's governor of the
Franche Conte, who has beaten it to the ground. The Queen of Navarre's
almoner is come from Rome with word that the Bishop made no cardinals
this feast, excepti him that was ambassador of Portugal.* Grandvela has

now quiet possession of Senes, and has put in a governor at the Emperor's
will, " which the French King saith is the very mean to deduce the State
of Senes unto the government of the duke of Camerino." Senes is almost
as great as Florence. Granvela is now gone to Florence, and goes thence
to Rome. The bishop of Rome has levied money and taken musters,
but his purpose is not yet known. He has sent into Spain, by Avignon,
his secretary Johannes de Pultiano,* for the Emperor's advice touching
a marriage of the duke of Savoy with his niece, Madame Victoria, who waa
heretofore named to Mons1. de la Guysse's son. The matter is ill-liked
here, yet the King has liberated the six Spaniards that were conveyed
out of Avignon, The bp. of Valence is kept straiter than ever, and
conveyed from Castle Galyarde to Shirburk upon the sea side. It is
thought he will be conveyed from place to place, until finally conveyed
" out of the way."
Andreas Doria is come to Genes with 11 1 galleys, appointed to make
14 more. Barbarossa lies in Pryusa, with 150, awaiting wind to do some
enterprise. He is much feared1 in Sicily. The Emperor has sent 2,000
Spaniards to Italy. Describes conversation of the Emperor's ambassador
with the French King (about homage due for SatyneJ castle in Franche
Counte, lately surrendered to him by the duke of Lorraine, who held it
of the duchy of Luxemburg), in whichi the King " somewhat chafed."
Treacherous capture of Kino- Ferdinand's strong haven town of Maran,
in Friuli, by the French King's servant, Signor Germanico, and one
Captain Turohetto, on the 12th inst. The captors set up the French
King's arms and sent letters hither, by one Spagnoletto, signifying that
the town is at the French King's command. Spagnoletto arrived on
Saturday night, and1 on Sunday, after dinner, the King called the ambas-
sadors of the Emperor, Venice, and the bishop of Rome, and said he had
letters from Turchetto, offering to deliver him the town, provided he
certified his acceptance by a certain day, otherwise they would surrender
it to the Grand Signor. The King protested he was sorry that this
had happened, and desired advicfc whether to take it or let it be given
to the Grand Signor. The ambassadors of Venice and Rome answered
that it were better he took it. The Emperor's ambassador said he would
do well first to hang him that brought the letters, and then do his best to
hang them that stole the town. "Tout beau, Moris1" 1'Ambassadour,"
quod the King, "I may not kill ambassadors, as vour master doth, and
as for hanging of them that be in the town, I should reguardon them well
for the service they intended to do me. Yet, God knoweth it, I knew
not their intent. But, to the purpose, show me vour opinion in the matter,
whether you think it better that I have it, or let the Grand Signor have
it." The ambassador asked leave first to refer to the Emperor, and was
finally given six days to consult the Regent of Flanders ; but the Kiner
has already sent his mind to them of Maran, to which all the Privy Council
are not privy. The Venetians are much afraid, for it lies very near
Venice, and they had meant to redeem it. The ambassadors of the
Emperor, Venice, Ferrara, Mantua, Genes, Rome, and all Italians here
seem ready to weep and think Italy lost, seeing the preparations th^ TurV
makes, and the friendship he finds here. Paris, 26 Jan. 5|| p.m. Signed.

61. THE SCOTTISH AMBASSADORS.
" A note of sundry things to be showed to the ambassadors of
Scotland."*
First, where divers traitors are reeepted in Scotland ; the King, 4 Feb.
1540, wrote to the king of Scots to deliver them, according to the treaty,
and, at the same time, apprehended such as the king of Scots required
(though not according to the treaty) by Sir John Cambell, then passing
into Flanders; but the king of Scots by his own letters, dated 12 March,
answered that he would deliver no kirkmen, although the treaty makes no
difference of persons nor grants that either prince should take knowledge
of the nature of the treason committed by the other's rebels. The King
requires the ambassadors -of Scotland' "now here present" directly to
answer him herein, and declare whether they will maintain the allegation
touching: the kirkmen.
In Wriothesley's hand: — And where the King of Scots by his said
letters, and others of 19 May 1541, reputes the traitors so demanded
to be traitors only for the cause of the bishop of Rome; although the
treaty requires each 'Prince to give credence to the letters of requisition
without enquiring of the offence, it is to be known that the persons
demanded use the -name of the bishop of Rome " for an excuse and mean
to help themselves," and were principal captains and procurers of the
late rebellion. The law for the abolition of the usurped power of
Rome -was made before the treaty, and some of the Commissioners here
to conclude the treaty were at the execution of monks and others under
that law, as in the answer made to Mr. Thomas Ballenden, at Pipwell,f is
more largely declared.
Names of the most notable traitors recepted in Scotland, over and
besides a number of Borderers, viz. : — " Leche of Horncastle, &c." [A
few lines blank.]
Further, by* the treaty it is ordained that the bounds between the two
realms shall remain ; contrary «to which " the Scots have, &c." " Item, the
ploughing and sowing of our ground, <fec. Item, the great perjury, &c.
Item, the raising of fire and the notable murders, &c. Then the notable
attemptates, and the coming in of their deputy warden. Then th'other
attemptates, and specially the rode upon Carnaby."
Draft corrected "by Wriothesley, pp. 10. Docketed as above.
2. "The names of certain traitors recepted in Scotland" : — Leche,
of Louthe, the first beginner of the insurrection and a continual deviser of
evil towards the King and realm. Woodmancy of Beverley and Wilson,
captains in the said insurrection. The friar of Gnaresburghe, a special
setter forward of the same. Dr. Hilliarde "a notable counsellor and
conspirator of the same."

Scottish! ambassadors were heard.
29 Jan. 63. CHAPUYS to CHARLES V.
Spanish His letters of the 29 Dec. and 10 Jan. will have informed the
? " Emperor what he could gather about the King's frequently expressed wish
for a closer alliance with the Emperor. Is still of his old opinion about
this — that it is only for fear of the Emperor making an alliance with
France, to thwart which has been his continual study. He will break off
the negotiation at once on! the least appearance of war, and put off both
belligerents with fine wordls, that he may reap the greater advantage when
both are exhausted, avoiding expense himself. Sees no chance of per-
suading him to a reconciliation with the Pope. He cannot believe that
such 'propositions came from the Emperor, after Chapuys's interview with
the lord Privy Seal in November last.
Has not been summoned to Court since his last, though the English
ambassadors* have returned from Flanders, and the Privy Councillors
assured him he should be called! to talk over matters with them about
trade with the Low Countries. Would like very much to know the King's
intentions, and the object of his sending this bishopf to the Emperor, who
leaves as soon as the secretary of Mr. de Guenebet (Knyvet) arrives from
France. The bp. will sail from this rivetf in 10 or 12 days at the utmost.
He is the same who was ambassador in France when the Emperor passed
through that country, and was recalled for the haughty words he used
before Francis.
Neither has this French ambassador gone to Court since Chapuys was
there. Learns from his private informant that the ambassador had letters
about the return of Mr. Christopher Richer, with the success of whose
negociations in Denmark Francis had been delighted. Francis had some
days before assembled a number of captains to deliberate -on preparing
for war, and, by advice of Annebaut, was collecting money for eigrht months'
support of an army. Another Council had been held after it, attended
by St. Pol and the Admiral. Meanwhile Francis had sent -to the Grand
Turk a certain Commagio and Capt. Poulain ; and Marshal Du Bie, governor
of Boulogne, was incessantly representing that the fortifications raised by
the English at La Moutiere, near Ardres, should be stopped, otherwise all
the time and money that had been spent in 'fortifying Ardres would be
wasted if it remained between La Moutiere and Montorre 'like a quail
between two hawks. Hearing which, Francis determined on constructing
a fortress with a harbour at Ubyssant (Wissant), half-way between Calais
and Boulogne. If this be true, it is enough to drive these English to
despair.
t Parliament began) its session a few days ago. The Chancellor's
speech aggravated the Queen's misdeeds to the utmost, whereupon the
Lords, four days ago, found the Queen and lady Rochford guilty of high
treason. The Dowager Duchess of Norfolk and her daughter§ are sen-
tenced to perpetual imprisonment, with confiscation of property, on the
same grounds as Lord William and his wife, and the rest of the accom-
plices. Within two days the said 'resolution and award will be laid
before the Commons.

Has this moment heard that the Commons have this morning agreed
with the judgment of thel Lords on the Queen and the three other ladies,
and it is to be feared) that the Queen will be immediately placed in the
Tower. She is still at Syom^ making good cheer, fatter and more beautiful
than ever, taking great care to be well apparelled and more imperious
and troublesome to serve than even when she was with the King, although
she believes she will be put to death, and confesses she has deserved it.
She only begs that her execution be secret. Perhaps, if the King does not
wish to marry again, het may show her some compassion ; or if he found it
lawful to leave her on account of her adultery, take another — a question
which, it is said, has been -already debated1 by learned divines, although
hitherto the King has shown no inclination to a fresh marriage, nor to serve
any lady. There seems; less hope than ever of his taking back the lady of
Cleves, though, on New Year's day she presented him with some pieces of
cramoisy cloth, and he gave her some glass pots and flagons.
The Scotch Ambassadors are still here. Nothing is yet known of the
object of their mission. But the King has lately sent an engineer* to the
Borders to inspect fortifications, and has despatched one of the gentlemen
of his Chamberf to be governor of Hull. This last he may have done partly
owing to what Chapuys said to him1 of the intelligence of the king of France
with the duke [of Holstein], a.s the said port is one of his own staples, where
all the Flemish vessels usually arrive. •
Forgot to mention that people fear the Kingf will again apply to Parlia-
ment for money, which will drive his subjects to despair, because the
Chancellor in his opening1 speech alluded to the expense the King had been
put to in keeping up an army of 14,000 men for the new andl old fortresses.

68. IRELAND.
R- O- A paper, headed, " For the reformation of Ireland,'"* recommend-
346'. IX1 m£ that, as Ireland is abused by greedy and partial judges and by great
officers, who seek only to enrich themselves with the King's revenue, a
" sadd peryt juge " should be sent from England, as a mirror and instructor .
to the other judges, and a discreet, valiant Deputy. The King and his
Council are reminded that the land might remain as it is and the King
enjoy his revenue, for no Irishman will make war if suffered to remain
as he is ; that the subjects of the Pale would' b© as faithful to the Deputy
as the King's guard is to him, and! the Deputy might hawk and hunt for
60 miles as peaceably as in England ; and that, doubtless, he might have
at his command the earls of Desmond! and Ormond, O'Brene, ONele,
ODownyll, Nele McCoyne, OKeroil, and1 MacWilliam, who "in effect
domine all the land." Wales is true to the Crown, because not under
one ruler, but several in each shire ; and so would Ireland be under
seneschal's and justices. Galloglasses and kerne would' then forsake idle-
ness, and take to tillage, mining, and fishing. Irishmen will never bo
conquered by rigorous war, they are so hardy and active. A sufficient
army would be 1,000 men, furnished for half a year, to b© thenceforth
found with the revenues, increased by an Act of resumption of the Customs
of the cities of Munster, which the King's father granted them to repair
their walls, and which they now divide aa profits, and yearly fight for.
"The Irishmen have presrnant, subtle wits, eloquent and marvellous
natural in comynaunce." If instructed that they were not to be banished,
but to take their lands of the King, "as ODownyl has done and OlSTele
is crying to do," they would' become true subjects, and forsake Irish laws
and manners.

5 Feb. 34 MARILLAC to FRANCIS I.
Francis's letters from Yarre, of the 14th ult., directed him, without
going further into the question of marriage, to keep the English in hope
on pretext of daily expecting instruction. As they required answer to what
this King had last said at Greenwich, he told them he had a letter from
Francis, informing him that the final deliberation would be sent in a
few days. Thus gained time to see what would be treated in Parliament.
Meanwhile received the other and last despatch, of the 24th, commanding
him to resume the subject of marriage, and put forward the interview of
Francis, this King, and the King of Scots. It came very apropos ; for
t Apparently the " New Christians " referred to in No.
33 HEN'llY VIll. 37
1542.
the bp. of London, who had taken leave and was about to depart to the
Emperor, was thereupon stopped, and his departure deferred until further
news from France. Thinks they first wish to have his answer about what
he now writes, which is the substance of what Norfolk, to whom he had
privately proposed these two points, replied to him two days later, in
presence of the lord Privy Seal and Chief Secretary.
To commence with the marriage; on his stating that, if he saw the
King disposed to go through with it, he would furnish a power, Norfolk
said he had never seen prince so inclined to listen to a thing; adding,
on his King's behalf, many gracious and hopeful words which it would
take too much space to detail. Never saw them use such earnest
language, or show less dissimulation. The effect was that their King would
grant anything reasonable (although they specified nothing), and they
thought this affair should be resolved without further delay, which would
be as soon as Francis sent power to conclude. Norfolk had said as much to
him apart, and also sent him word that this was the time for the matters to
proceed, hinting that this last overture had recalled them from listening
to marriages proposed by the Emperor, by whom they were very instantly
sought.
As to the 'interview, they said their master singularly desired1 it, and,
after another long discourse of his affection and cordiality, they ended
by saying that neither age, nor the troubles he had had, nor business,
nor, lastly, the fear of the sea, could diminish the wish he had to see
the brother and friend, and the personage whom he loved most in the
world; but he would put two conditions to it : — 1, That they should first,
by ambassadors, bring the principal affairs near some conclusion, lest
either of the Kings should put forward something not agreeable to the
other, and so cause secret indignation, which might lead to war, or else, if
the interview produced no treaty, it might be made a matter of ridicule
rather than reputation that the two first kings of Christendom had met
in vain. 2. They know not how the King of Scots could well be there,
for, besides the difficulty that he must either pass through England or
risk the sea, they would not have him put himself on a level with the
other two (although they did not say so, but alleged that this King, having
something to ,say to Francis apart, the King of Scotland might thereby
think himself slighted) ; but they would not oppose his sending ambassa-
dors and treating jointly with them, and, if the said King wished to see
his uncle, they would consent to a meeting on the frontiers ; inferring that
the meeting of two princes might do good', but the third would spoil the
business, and so they would not have the King of Scots there, either because
they would have two to deal with (for he would be all for Francis), or else
because they resent his having kept them waiting at York, at which they
were indignant enough.
Can see no likelihood that this King contributed to the expense of the
Emperor's expedition of Algiers, nor that his ambassador lost 100,000
cr. by shipwreck, or had other money with him than his ordinary provision.
He writes that he only lost 7,000 or 8,000 cr. worth of money and goods,
besides (it is true) the silver plate which this King furnishes to his
ambassadors. Hears, on the contrary, from a good quarter, that this King
sometimes expressed wonder that the Emperor made this journey at such
a season, and thought he should not have left the Germans without ending
the religious differences, in order to arm (" pour venir armer," Kaulek
reads " arriver ") in Italy, when nothing was asked of him but peace, and
his brother had so much to do in Hungary. Moreover, the English are
not so religious as to put themselves to expense for a thing which nowise
touches them.

84. MARILLAC to FRANCIS I. — cont.
What Francis wrote about the taking of Marran came in time to con-
found the calumnies which the Imperialists were spreading of its having
been surprised, by Francis's means, with a view of delivering it to the
Grand Seigneur for the better harassing of the King of the Romans.
The remaining occurrences here concern the Parliament, which has
decided, and since published, that this King should, with his usual titles,
be named king, and head of the Church, of Ireland. The Queen's matter
and other affairs which Marillao wrote of in his last are not concluded, so
he defers writing of them. Marked as sent by Mons. de Formes*

The bp. of Aberdeen and his colleagues, ambassadors lately sent
from the King of Scots, desired two things concerning the Borders, viz. : —
1. That Henry would appoint Commissioners to meet others of Scotland
upon the Borders and redress all attemptates done since the last truce;
which he granted to do after Parliament. 2. That he should write to his
officers to prevent attemptates and redress any that chanced ; which
request, "being also very reasonable," was granted. Commands them
to see this promise performed; and, if the Scots do not perform their
part, to lie on their guard and send notice of attemptates and refusal
or putting over of justice.

Ballenden, " his ambassadors now resident with us."
1. To the first article, wherein James rejoices to hear, by Mr. Ballenden,
of Henry's friendship, &c. ; he may be sure that in kindness and friendly
dealing Henry can give place to none. 2. Where he says their meeting
was deferred for lack of the consent of the States of his realm and the
French King, whom he earnestly solicited to consent ; when Mr. Ballenden,
at Northampton, proposed the meeting, and letters sent to Pomfret and
Cawode, both from James and him, showed that James still desired it,
Henry did indeed protract his stay there, but, seeing the matter is made
so ditficile, he is content to pass it over for this time. 3. As to his further
" excuse by certain enormities then committed " by the great men of his
South Isles; has not heard otherwise of them, but doubtless they are
now reduced to obedience by his wisdom and policy. 4. As to his offer to
labour further to the French King for his consent to the meeting or else
for a meeting between the three Kings, to treat a perpetual league, and
his further offer to mediate in controversies between Henry and the
French King ; if he can remove the difficulties of a meeting between them
two near the Borders, Henry will be content. But, as to the joint meeting
with the French King, which also James's ambassadors have moved since
exhibiting the articles to which this is an answer, cannot understand how
the French King could be induced to "take such pains and adventure''
as to come to any place near the Borders. And as to James's offer for
composition of his controversies with the French King, doubts not but the
French King will so remember his past friendship that mediation shall
not be needed. Finally, as to the continuance of amity, trusts his nephew
will so redubb some things past and proceed hereafter that there shall be
no cause to the contrary.

was present, but Pole had little opportunity of speaking with him that
night, and the Pope departed early next morning. Eulogises the promis-

Wrote on the 29th ult of the Queen's condemnation and that of
the duchess of Norfolk, her daughter, § and lady .Kochiord. Till then the
King had never been merry since! first hearing of the Queen's misconduct ;
but he has been so since, especially on the 29th, when he gave a supper
and banquet with 26 ladies at his table, besides gentlemen, and 35 at
another table close by. The lady for whom he showed the greatest regard
was the sister of lord Cobham, whom Wyatt sometime ago repudiated for
adultery. She is a pretty young creature, with wit enough to do as badly
as the others if she were to try. The King is also said to have a fancy for
the daughter of Madame Albart, niece ,of the Grand Esquire, Master
Anthony Brown, and aJso for aj daughter) | (by her first marriage) of the
wife of MODS. Lyt, late deputy of Calais — a surmise which rests partly
on the fact that after nearly two years' close confinement in the Tower,
her father has been liberated, and the King has ordered his arms, which
had been removed from their place in the chapel of the Order, ^[ to be
replaced.**
Two days ago the Comptroller of the King's household ff went to Syon
house to break up the Queen's household and dismiss her servants. The
Comptroller is then to take the Queen to his own lodging, that is to say,
to the Tower, of which he is governor. No final determination has yet
been come to about her fate, but in two or three days it will be known.
The French ambassador's man says he has had no letters from Francis
for some time, the last merely directing him to continue the same game
of trying to cajole and amuse the English to prevent their making a league
with the Emperor, and to promise the King the support of the Scots if
he will treat with Francis. After receipt of this letter, the ambassador
endeavoured to treat with some of the Privy Councillors, but unsuccessfully,
and left the Council in disgust, and for three days after could not enjoy

his dinner, being quite angry with the Councillors, especially the lord
Privy Seal, whom he abused immensely. He has also sent Fiis cousin to
France, expressly to ask for his recall ; and his anger has been since much
increased by the appointment of the bp. of London — who is looked on
as an enemy of France — as ambassador to the Emperor. The bp., as
Chapuya wrote, came to dine with him, but he could learn no particulars
of his mission. His instructions were only delivered to him yesterday, and
he will depart to-morrow.
The Scotch ambassadors left yesterday, with a present of silver plate
worth 1,500 ducats. As far as he can hear, they have concluded nothing,
the King and his Councillors excusing themselves that tthey were so
occupied with Parliamentary business ; but the King has promised, after
the dissolution of this Parliament, to discuss their message with the Privy
Council. The French ambassador's man has undertaken to inquire the
object of the Scotch mission, but has not been able to learn anything as

The French King, leaving the Queen and the rest of the Household
here at the Louvre, lies at St. Germain's Dalley,t with only the Privy
Council, Privy Chamber, and Privy Band; having ordered the harbingers
to lodge no man nearer than Paris, and his Privy Council and Chamber
to lodge none but their own servants. It is done either for quietness or
to avoid such as haunt the Court to learn proceedings. Feared thereby
to be excluded from all intelligence; but has, by credible means, learnt
that the Prothonotary St. Poule, brother to the bp. of Montpellier, whom
the; King sent with another to the Great Turk, in October, is intercepted
about Ragusa, and the bp. of Ragusa cannot learn what has become
of the vessel they embarked in. The King takes the matter very
grievously, and has commanded it to be kept secret. On Candlemas Eve,
the Bishop of Rome's ambassador declared to the King that the Emperor
had complained to the Bishop that the King was the cause of the Turk's
coming in now and at other times before ; adding, on his own behalf, that

killed himself in prison in Florence, who came over to England when
the French King was last at Abbeville,! did avaunt himself to have caused
the surprise of Maran. The King replied that the Emperor would say
what he list, although it were not true, and, as for Piers Strawz, he would
send for and question him; as he did within two days. His answer is
not known, but the King immediately made him one of the gentlemen of
the Privy Chamber. The bp. of Kome lately sent briefs to all the Cardinals
in France to repair to Rome, but the King has staid them.
All captains and bands about Piedmont are appointed to go to their
posts, and musters are made throughout France. All persons, spiritual
and lay, who are of the " bande or ariere-bande," that is, hold land of the
King " in chief or in meane," were commanded to certify last
month the value of their lands; and now, within these two
days, command is sent them to be ready within 15 days, to
serve in person for two months, or pay for footmen according
to the amount of their lands. Whether this is to raise money or to make
war is uncertain, but one of the Privy Council has said that the King
had never better will to make war, and that " if there be no war, your
Majesty is the let."
The Duke of Alva has a safe conduct to pass through France into
Flanders, and it is thought his journey is into England. A gentleman
is come from King Ferdinand, to desire (as the Emperor's ambassador
says) the French King not to support them of Maran, to besiege which
Ferdinand has sent 6,000 or 7,000 Italians and Almains.

(Abstract.)
Received his letters of the 5th, by his cousin, the bearer, showing
the good and honest words which have been held to -him touching the
marriage and interview; and agrees that all things which have to be
passed at the meeting should be well digested first, so that there may be
no need of disputes or difficulties, which the conclusion of the marriage
will entirely dispel, and there will be nothing needed but to finish
and consummate it. To give no occasion for dissembling for want of
powers, sends two, to be used as he sees needful. Until the matter is
entered upon, if they demand the original of the said power, he shall

escape by dexterously delivering a copy (but that is left to his discretion),
and he must conclude the marriage before entering on other matters.
Afterwards he can speak of the interview, for its consummation. As
to the difficulties alleged against the King of Scotland's being at the
interview; after declaring the great pleasure it is to Francis to know
Henry's wish to see him, and the singular desire he (Francis) has to meet
the person to whom he bears such perfect and entire friendship, Marillac
shall point out that the King of Scotland, because of his youth and good
health, can easily take the trouble to come to the meeting place, and his
presence will be no hindrance to the conversation, and nothing could
more frighten the Pope than to see the meeting of them three. They
would not be two against one (tons, qu. un ?), for, being Francis's son, the
King of Scotland would be Henry's son also. Still, if the English do not
like the King of Scotland's being at the interview, at the least, it will be
reasonable that some great personage should come on his behalf, with
power to treat; and Francis would likewise send a man if there was
a subsequent interview made between the Kings of England and Scotland.
The King of the Romans has lately sent a gentleman to complain of
the taking of Marran, and' tell various false reports which he had had,
especially that the taker* of the said town showed Francis's letters patent
empowering him to do it, whereas Francis knew sooner of the taking
than the enterprise. Made answer in accordance with the truth, which
he wrote in his last. Countersigned: Bayard.

R. O. The Scottish ambassadors yesterday came to report that they had
a')Fuli 388 received this King's answer about the interview ; which was in substance
abstract.) what he wrote on the 5th, viz., that this King would willingly grant an
interview for two, but not for three. As they are sending the Cardinal of
St. Andrews the said answer, which was given them in writing, Marillac
could do no less than forward their letters with these; to which there
is nothing to add but that Parliament has cond'enmed this Queen and
the lady of Rochefort to death. Her execution was expected this week,
for last night she was brought from Syon to the Tower, but as she
weeps, cries, and torments herself miserably, without ceasing, it is
deferred for three or" four days, to give her leisure to recover, and
"penser au faict de sa conscience." As to the old duchess of Norfolk,
some say she shall die, others that she shall keep perpetual prison, like
her son lord William and daughter the countess of Brizchwatre. A few
days will show. All her goods are already confiscated, and are of mar-
vellous value, 400,000 or 500,000 cr., for ladies in this country succeed
for life to the moveables of their deceased husbands. Norfolk is greatly
interested, since the greater part came to her through his late father;
yet the times are such that he dare not show that. the affair touches him,
but approves all that is done.
P.S. — 13 Feb. : After writing the above, was informed that to-day,
Monday, 13th inst., the condemned ladies should be executed ; and, in-
deed, about nine o'clock in the morning, this Queen first, and afterwards
the lady of Rochefort, within the Tower, had their heads cut off with an
axe, after the manner of the country. The Queen was so weak that she
could hardly speak, but confessed in few words that she had merited a
hundred deaths for1 so offending the King who had so graciously treated
her. The lady of Rochefort said as much in a long discourse of several
faults which she had committed in her life. It is not yet said who will
be Queen ; but the common voice is that this King will not be long
without a wife, for the great desire he hasi to have further issue.

17 Feb. 113. COUNCIL OF CALAIS to LORD MALTRAVERS.
K- °- Hearing that Margaret Torres, wife of John Torres, man-at-arms
here, although Maltravers commanded her not to repair into France, had
ridden with one of her husband's servants to Ardre, examined them and
send their confessions. Were about to send her and the confessions to
him when her husband arrived from England; to whom they declared
how strange it was for her so to transgress and be the occasion of another's
offence, supposing her, for that and for being suspect to live with him in
adultery, no meet person to dwell here. He answered that he was sorry
she had done anything impertinent ; but, of her repairing into France and
their conversation together, he had spoken with the King, who marvelled
that she wa,s impeached of going into France, and, as for their living
together, thought not meet that they should be "assundered, no man
making to her any claim or challenge " ; and that the King would in both
matters confer with Maltravers. To boult out the truth further, objected
to her that her servant confessed that she spoke with the captain of Ardre
more than half an hour, alone, and that the Captain defrayed her charges.
She granted that she communed with the Captain, and showed writings
touching the matter she went about, and afterwards, in sport, told her
servant that the Captain had defrayed her charges. The servant after-
wards confessed that he saw her pay her own charges, but a, man came
from the Captain to her lodging at her departing. She said that was one
Seintclere, a Frenchman, who came about her said affairs. Refer it to
his discretion to reveal this to the King's Council. Calais, 17 Feb. 1541.

shut, rode on straight to Ardre and took her lodging at the sign of St.

came and drank with her, and went and reported her coming to the
Captain, who sent two gentlemen to bring her to his lodging, where she
talked privately with him in the parlour window for half an hour, and
then supped at his table, and the foresaid two gentlemen conducted her
back to her lodging. Next morning she departed about 8 a.m. and
would have paid for her expenses, but the Captain sent money to the

has commanded me to require you to make certificate "of all honors,
castles, manors, mansions, sites of houses, forests, parks, chaces, and

allowance for repairs, &o., showing what might be gained by selling
unnecessary houses and disparking and letting to farm some of the parks.

120. MARILLAC to FRANCIS I.
In the memoire which Marillao delivered1 to M. de Morvillier
when he passed this way on his return from Scotland, was an article
about Robert Val, who, at the road of Camaret, on the Brittany
coast, forcibly borrows merchandise (which he afterwards sells) from
passing ships, both French and foreign (and has recently taken from
some Englishmen 600 quintals of iron and 400 Marocco; skins, on pretext
that they were laden in Spain and belonged to Spaniards, and he must
deal with them as the Emperor did with French ships), delivering however
a certificate of what he takes as his own proper debt. The lords of this
Council have prayedi him to write to Francis (as, he thinks, this- King
also does) to take early order for what has happened and may be expected.
The English ambassador will have the original or copy of Robert Val's
certificate and will explain the matter to Francis's Council.

mduce Henry to enter a closer alliance. Just after
VI. i. No. '232. the bp. of London's departure, sent three different messages to the lord
Privy Seal and the lord Admiral to ask interviews, under different pre-
texts, to see if the bp.'s mission had1 this in view. The Privy Seal said
both he and the Admiral were ready to use good offices. Believes the
Councili are all in favour of it, but as long as there is a chance of war
between the Emperor and Francis the King will make difficulties. As
he dislikes expense, he raises his terms when sought after. He should be
gained over, however, to forestall the French, who, according to Chapuys'
usual informant, now almost offer the English carte blanche for an alliance.
His informant may be wrong, but the [French] King's letter to his
ambassador (of which more hereafter) rather confirms this. Will take
care to keep the man at our devotion. Gave him 50 or. of his pension
yesterday. Lately he sent me word that Morvilliers had returned from
Scotland and intended to cross to France without calling on this King.
He expects to have more news when the ambassador's cousin* returns
from France.
Sees no great appearance of this King taking back the Duke of Cleves's
sister. Two or three days before the Queen was lodged in the Tower
he sent some of his Privy Councillors to her to get back a ring, " que ?a
dite Royne luy avoit deu envoyager ou en present ou pour enseignees " ;
which ring, according to the Duke's ambassador here, is only worth 3
gold or. unless the stone, as is said, has some virtue against spasms. The
Duke's ambassador has many letters from German princes to the King,
to persuade him to take back Anne; which, however, he has been per-
suaded, by the French ambassador not to present unless King Francis
approves.
f Forgot, when writing on the 10th, of the Queen's trial and condem-
nation, to mention that after tne condemnation passed against her in
Parliament, the King, wishing to proceed with moderation, had sent to
her certain Councillors and others of the saidi Parliament, to offer her to
come and defend her own case in the Parliament. This she declined,
submitting entirely to the King's mercy and owning that she deserved
death. Some days later, on the afternoon of the 10th, she was, with some
resistance, conveyed by river to the Tower. The lord Privy Seal, with
a number of Privy Councillors and servants went first in a great barge;
then came the Queen with three or four men and as many ladies, in a
small covered barge; then the Duke of Suffolk, in a great barge, with
a company of his men. On their arrival at the Tower, the lords landed
first ; then the Queen, in black velvet, and they paid her as much honour
as when she was reigning. On Sunday the 12th, towards evening, she
was told to prepare for death, for she was to die next day. That evening
she asked to have the block brought in to her, that she misrht know how
to place herself ; which was done, and she made trial of it. Next morning,
about 7, those of the Council except Suffolk, who was ill, and Norfolk, were
at the Tower, accompanied by various lords and gentlemen, such as Surrey
(Norfolk's son and the Queen's cousin), and she was beheaded in the same
spot where Anne Boleyn had been, executed. Her body was then covered
[with a black cloakt]. and her ladies took it away. Then Lady Rochford
was brought, who had shown symptoms of madness till they told her she
must die. Neither she nor the Queen spoke much on the scaffold ; they
only confessed their guilt and prayed for the King's welfare.

1542.
The King has been in better spirits since the execution, and during the
last three days before Lent there has been much feasting. Sunday was
given up to the lords of his Council and Court ; Monday to the men of
law, and Tuesday to the ladies, who all slept at the Court. He him-
self in the morning did nothing but go from room to room to order
lodgings to be prepared for these ladies, and he made them great and
hearty cheer, without showing particular affection to any one. Indeed,
unless Parliament prays him to take another wife, he will not, I think,
be in a hurry to marry ; besides, few, if any, ladies now at Court would
aspire to such an honour, for a law has just been passed that should any
King1 henceforth wish to marry a subject, the lady will be bound, on pain
of death, to declare if any charges of misconduct can be brought against
her, and all who know or suspect anything of the kind against her are
bound to reveal it within 20 days, on pain of confiscation of goods and
imprisonment for life. Hears of no other ordinance passed by this Par-
liament, except the condemnation and prohibition of the Bible which
Cromwell got translated into English.
Since writing the above, his man has brought him from the French
embassy the enclosed copy of a letter in cipher from Francis to his ambas-
sador here ; from which Chapuys infers that the interview was first
proposed by Henry, though he assured Chapuys it came from Francis.
As to the language held to the said Ambassador, as mentioned in the
letter, it could not have been by the King, with whom he has not spoken
since Christmas, nor by any other than the Duke of Norfolk, who ventures
occasionally " d'enricher les affaires." Learns from the same source that
the Ambassador will soon go to France to report on the business in
question. Yet his man is to meet Chapuys's- servant in two or three
days, to communicate such information ag he may be able to collect
respecting his master's actual negociation.8 with these people. He will
see meanwhile if he can lay hold of other letters of the French King or
his Ministers, and a copy of the cipher key. He wants money beforehand,
which shall be supplied, though Chapuys is in great need and presses
for payment of arrears, as the Emperor promised before he left Bruges.

Spanish Has delayed answering his letter of 30 Dec. awaiting news of the
Calendar, return of the ambassadors* who were here to England. Has since received
his letters of the 10th and 29th January and of the 9th inst. Has also
received letters of Grantvelle, who was obliged again to put up at
Gennes, as appears by his letter to Marvol (copy enclosed). As to
news of these parts, the French are intriguing everywhere to tafee
uis by surprise, but we hope they will not be able to raise so many men
in Germany as they expect. The King of the Romans is still at Spires,
to collect the money aid against the Turk granted by the Diet of Regens-
burg, whither the King of France has sent four ambassadors. One of
these, the Chancellor of Alen^on, made a long speech, declaring his
master's willingness to aid in the defence of Hungary, and urging general
union against such a formidable enemy as the Turk ; that Francis had
lately sent to Constantinople Cesare Fragoso and Rincon, to persuade
him not to attack Germany, but that they had been arrested in the

According to the King's commandment declared by your several
letters, I have spoken with the French King concerning the book made
in the lady Anne of Cleves' name; as you shall perceive by my letters
to the King. I also set forth, both to the King and the Admiral, the
merchants' suit, and, attending an answer, have deferred despatch of
these letters two or three days. Upon the first overture the Admiral
promised expedition next day. Next day I sent my clerk before dinner
and went myself after dinner, but the Admiral would only answer that
they had no leisure, but next day, without fail, I should be despatched.
Sent my clerk to him, and he sent him (the clerk) to the Chancellor, who
said he knew nothing of the matter. I then went to Court, but could
not see the Admiral. This day I went again and " spake with him some-
what roundly ; and when he promised me again to dispatch me to-morrow,
I prayed him to make me an answer the next day, for I did perceive I
was not lucky to-morrow." He gave me fair words (as before), and I
then told the King of these delays, who answered that he would speak
with his Council in it. I think this is all they will do " till they see what
hope they shall have at your hand's of greater things." If I may catch
Norfolk and have liberty to send him over I will do my devoir. Paris,

earnestly the cause of certain English merchants now repairing
hither. Deferred going to Court until he knew the author
of the book ; and then, on Wednesday last, went to the Admiral's
chamber and, after dinner, entered the merchants' suit, saying there were
sundry English merchants who had process here, some four, some ten,
some eighteen or twenty years, and, although they had sentence in their
favour, were delayed from court to court by appellations and such frus-
tratory delays ; whose despatch he was commanded to solicit, and therefore
commended their suit to him, knowing his authority -with his master and
the King's (Henry's) good opinion of him; and so delivered the letters
from the French ambassador. After a long preamble of his desire to
serve the King and promote the amity, he said he would know his master's
pleasure that night, and give reasonable answer on the morrow. Said
he would be glad to speak with the King his master. He replied, With a
right good1 will ; and led the way, by a secret stair, to the King's privy
chamber, " whereas he sat at dinner accompanied only with the gentlemen
of his privy chamber, because he did eat no fish." After reverence made,
the Admiral entertained the writer by saying how like their masters were,
" not only in personage, but also in wisdom and affection, delighting, both
in hunting, in hawking, in building, in apparel, in stones, in jewels, and
of like affection one to another," which would last always, although, of
late days, evil ministers had gone about to dissolve it. And he went on
to hope there " might yet be knit by blood and flesh a perpetual knot to
their posterity," adding that, at the Emperor's being here, when he saw
that some men drew the way that was not to his master's honour or profit,
he drew the other.
Then, the King having dined, the Admiral went and declared the
merchants' suits. The King came to Paget and asked how Henry did,
and what news out of England. Answered that he had no news out of
England, but in France he had learnt some; he had heard that there
was a book made in the lady Anne of Cleves' name which very slanderously
seemed to touch his master's honor, and asked Francis to take order for
calling it in. " What book is it 1 (quod the King). Who made it 1 Is
it printed ? " "A very foolish book, Sir (quod I), made by Monsr Gyvry,*
Count Bryan'sf brother, but I am in doubt whether it be printed or no."
He promised to stay the printing, and recover the copies that were out,
saying that, surely, the Duke of Cleves knew not of it, for it were folly,
" especially now at this time ; for men's affections do alter, and the lady
Anne is yet of age to bear children, and albeit the wind hath been contrary
it may fortune to turn." Paget answered that he knew nothing of things
to come, but, in the things that were past therein, he was sure his master
had acted with God's law, man's law, reason and honesty. The King said
his good brother's wisdom and experience were such that he knew what
to do in these things, and that he himself would have their amity even
greater than it was, and had set forward by his ambassador something
that would turn to both their honours. Paget offered his services to
promote it, whatever it was ; and the King then turned to the merchants'
matters, saying he would confer with his Council. And so Paget took
leave.
Then, made an errand to see the Queen of Navarre, saying he heard
she had been sick (as she had) and thought it his part to visit her. She
was glad to hear the King was well ; saying, " for I must needs love that
Prince, for sundry causes ; I should have been once his father's wife, and
I should have been his wife, and he and I be both of one opinion in
* " Dyvry " in § 2, winch is right ; he was abbot of Ivry. t " Biyennee " in § 2,

religion, for neither of us loveth the Pope ; and I think he would be glad
to see both our destructions, for the which purpose he praotiseth with
th'Emperor, that is to say, with hypocrisy; for the Emperor is hypocrisy
and the Pope the Devil. But (quod she) if I might once see these two
Kings knit together by some knot of blood, as they be by friendship, I
should see the greatest benefit that ever came to Christendom." Details
further conversation, in which he said he saw no greater Popery anywhere
than in France, where, " the last day," ten or twelve honest persons, for
4 saying that the Pope deceived the world, were had to prison and in danger
of death. She said it was the practise of the " maskers in red caps"* who
were of her brother's Council ; but she reckoned of the Council, that the
Admiral, the cardinals of Belley and Tournon and Mons. de Langey were
good Christians ; and so was Mons. d'Orleans, who was as far in love with
the King's (Henry's) daughter as his brother that is dead was, who once
told her he would give one of his hands to have her. She advised Paget
to get his master's leave to speak with Mons. d'Orleans, and told him,
secretly, that she thought her brother had broached the subject of his
marriage. Said he would be glad to do service, but loved not to counsel
of a thing until called, and also he had heard that heretofore things were
not handled here as directly as the amity deserved. She said it was the
Constable's doing, as she told my lord of Norfolk at his being heire,t but
now all her brother's Council were the King's servants, and Madame
d'Estampes and she his handmaids, although the Queen worked against
them, and would fain that Orleans should have her daughter. Said he
"would all things were for the best." "I trust it shall, quod she, and
to the glory of God's word " ; and here she made a discourse of religion
an hour long, which Paget interrupted by asking which way the King
would make his progress. She said, towards Sens in Bourgoyn. Said
he heard it was to Picardy, and that there was muttering of war. " War,
quod she, will be none, unless this amity go forward, and if this amity
go forward, quod she, there will be war and war, car 1'Empereur a offence
mon frere jusques au sang." Asked about the prothonotary of St. Pol,
of whom he wrote before. She answered (praying that it might be kept
secret), that he was despatched. Said he heard that Orleans went into
Piedmont. She said he did, and "would fain be doing," and that the
duke of Cleves was ready and " tarried but a good1 hour."
Has given as well as he can remember all his conversation with these
personages, and asks pardon if he has not answered wisely, for he is
inexperienced and was taken by surprise.
The occurrejits of this Court are a.s follows : — The King is "cross sailed
to war, but he saith your Majesty holdeth the helm in your hand." The
duke of Cleves has ready 4,000 horse and 16,000 foot. Mons. de Langey,
to-morrow or next day, returns to Piedmont, and Mons. d'Orleans follows
soon after. They are muoh afraid in Franche Comte. The bp. of Rome
travails much for peace, his ambassador being in Court daily, and he
offering to come to a conference at Avignon. Grandvela embarked, at
Genoa, for Spain, and sent forward a brigantine to scour the seas, which
was chased back by galleys of Marseilles; whereupon, Grandvela sent to
the French King for a safe conduct, but the Admiral replied that none
was necessary. Encloses copy of edicts which Grandvela made at Senes.
The French King has sent Piers Strotz to Maran, nominally to entreat
Tor two months' respite before the town is delivered to the Turk, but
really to aid it against King Ferdinand, who has begun the siege and sent
the bp. of Trent to expostulate with the Venetians for consenting to the

are banished out of the Court, — for speakiag ill of Madame d'Estampes,

ambassador. The card, of Turnon is restored to favour by Madame
d'Estampes and the queen of Navarre, who lately played a farce before

140. FORTIFICATION OF HULL.
Instructions given by the King to Sir Rio. Long, captain of his
town of Hull, and) Mich. Stanop, his Highness' lieutenant there, whom his
Majesty now sends to Hull,
33 HENRY VIII. 63
1542.
Having appointed Long to be captain of the town of Kingston-upon-
Hull and of such fortresses as he intends to make there with all diligence,
the King wishes him to prepare men to attend him as in a schedule signed
by the King and delivered to him, and, with Stanop, to go with speed
to Hull. For surety of the town, to which there is great " recourse and
confluence of people " (although the King minds not to abridge any of the
present liberties) until the fortresses are made, the gates of the town,
viz., Hasell Gate, the Water Gate and the Brickgate towards Holderness,
shall be locked nightly, and the keys brought to the captain, or, in his
absence, to the lieutenant ; and all the other " gates and posterne " shall be
closed up and dammed, according to the device made at the King's being
there. The soldiers, porters, and gunners appointed to the garrison shall
be set to ward daily at the gates. Doubtless the mayor, burgesses and
inhabitants will follow the King's pleasure and Long's or Stanop's advice.
Long and his retinue shall meanwhile lie in the King's house at Hull, and
Stanop and his in the most convenient house adjoining the tower at the
Watergate, and shall furnish the gatehouse or tower of the King's house
and the tower at the Watergate with ordnance. Their retinues and those
of the chief constable and chief porter, the two chaplains except, shall,
when outside their lodgings, carry their halberts as at Calais. The great
ordnance is to be bent upon the haven, and six persons at least to watch
nightly. Long, or in his absence Stannop, may, if need be, levy the King's
people in Hull and in all the rules committed to Sir Rio. Long, viz., Holder-
ness, the lordship of Cottingham, the lands lately belonging to the earl of
Northumberland, the lordship of Beverley and the lands late of Sir Robt.
Constable. The King has given his commission under the Great Seal to
Long, and has signified his pleasure to the mayor, burgesses and inhabi-
tants.
Long and Stanop shall oversee the King's works, and assist John
Rogers, surveyor there; and Long shall keep the King's treasure, pay
monthly the wages of himself and Stanop and their retinues, and deliver
money for the payment of the works according to the "ordonnance"
delivered to Rogers. If Long chance to depart thence, by the King's
licence, he shall take with him no more than twelve of his men, and shall
charge the rest to obey Stanop ; and if Stanop goes he shall take no more
than four, leaving the rest to attend the captain.

(altered from " — [blank] Aldridge'V, paymaster of works there, the
money required according to an estimate to be made by Rogers, the
master mason and master carpenter. Within a fortnight after each pay,
the paymaster shall make two books signed by Rogers, " the said Aldrige "
whom the King appoints one of the constables of the said fortress, the
master mason and master carpenter, or two of them of whom Rogers must
be one, of the particulars of the pay. One of these books shall be
delivered to Long, and the other remain with the paymaster. Rogers,
the master mason and the master carpenter, " if they be not sick," shall
sit with the paymaster at every pay. Rogers shall have ISd. a day for
himself and 6d. a day for a clerk, and 4d. a day extra for every day he
shall ride forth for provision of necessaries. The paymaster shall have
8d. a day as one of the constables, and Qd. a day for a clerk " to help to
write his book." The master mason and master carpenter to have 12J.
a day each. Rogers and all others shall observe the order contained in
^a schedule signed by the King and entitled, " Instructions and rules for
the true surveying and setting forth of his Majesty's works " ; and Rogers
shall, with advice of the master mason and master carpenter and aid of
Sir Ric. Long, see those who infringe it corrected " and punished."*
The paymaster shall at every month's end send up an abridgment of
the charges of the month past, signed by Rogers, the master mason and
the master carpenter. And as the King, at his late being at Hull, left
in the hands of Mr. Eylande, Mr. Knolles, and others, 1,OOOZ. to be
employed in preparation, against this spring ; and, by an account brought
by Rogers, before Christmas, a good sum of it is yet unpaid, that residue
is to be first paid out in wages and provisions by those who have the

3 March. 143. THE PRIVY COUNCIL to PAGET.
The King has received his of the 26th ult., and commands them to
instruct him how the French ambassador has proceeded in the matter of
alliance. Before last progress, he made an overture to " me, the duke of
Norfolk," for a straiter amity, by marriage or otherwise. The Duke
answered that, considering their slackness in the observance of existing
leagues and payment of the pension, he durst not move such a thing unless
the King were first satisfied in the matter of the pension. Then, at
Grimestho[rp], upon new letters from France', the ambassador made a
special overture to the Duke for a marriage between the duke of Orleans
and the lady Elizabeth, and, upon discussion of her age and other
circumstances, descended to the lady Mary. Here again he was
asked about the pension and whether he had power to treat.
He had no power, and was told that the King would not
communicate of such a matter without it. Then, at York, and' now
of late, he has entertained the same purpose; and, at the^ ambassadors of
Scotland being here, declared that his master would send commission for

it, but had heard of overtures for a meeting between the King and the
King of Scots, and offered to make a third. It was answered that if such
a commission was sent, the King would lovingly and friendly listen to the
purpose, and that, such was his desire to see the French king, although
well stricken in years, he would agree to suoh a meeting, well arranged
beforehand, but thought it not meet that the King of Scots should be
there, both for the danger and expense of the passage, the hindrance to
conclusions, andlbhe inconvenience of leaving the broken men upon the
Borders without control.
Now lately the French king sent commission for the marriage. The
King, on his part, gave commission to " us the duke of Norfolk, the lord
Privy Seal, the bishops of Durham and Winchester and Sir Thomas
Wriothesley," who, upon the view of the commissions, found that of
France to contain one intolerable fault, and to be too meagre, extending
only to the marriage and not to the increase of amity, as theirs did. The
fault was that it runs " for a marriage to be concluded between his cousin,
the lady Mary, eldest daughter of England and! legityme, and his son the
duke of Orleans." Said they could not accept such a commission without
incurring the danger of treason and that it would prejudice the King to
grant indirectly what ought to depend upon the other conditions, and
that unless he would put the word1 " legityme " out of his! commission, or
promise to have it amended and so send for a> new commission, they could
not proceed. He said) he dare not put out a word and could not promise
the amendment, but would write • and that unless the King would
legityme her they could talk no further. Required him not to despatch
until they had referred to the King. Next day told him they could not
tell what the King might do upon the conditions of the marriage, but to
have it inserted, and as it were determined beforehand, was too much
injury. In reasoning the matter he went so far from "faire legityme"
and stuck so fast to "tenir legityme" that they again referred to the
King. Had a third meeting, in which they said they had' declared to the
King their communications of the day before, who was well affectioned
to anything that might increase the amity and, as to the marriage, if a
new commission were sent, without the word " legityme," and giving power
to conclude other matter for the increase of the amity, he would give his
daughter as lawful heir to the Crown in default of all other lawful heirs,
male and female, had or to be had. Added that there was, perchance, as
great a prince as Orleans that would take her thus ; and that, thus set forth,
she was rather to be embraced for the duke of Orleans than the bp. of
Rome's niece for the Dolphin. He answered that he believed it, but that
it was more honorable for the son of France to marry the poorest
gentlewoman, being legityme, than a dame of the noblest parentage, being
illegityme.
As the matter has been talked of to Paget, and may be renewed upon
the arrival of the French ambassador's letters, the King desires him to
know the whole truth, that he may declare it, if spoken to by the French
king, Queen of Navarre, Admiral, or any of the Privy C'ouncil, together
with the King's affection to the French king, which is such that if the
matter take no effect the lack must rest with! them.

B. o.
Kaidek, 390.
(The whole.)
As soon as this King learnt that Marillac had express power to
treat and conclude the marriage, he deputed Norfolk, the lord Privy Seal,
the bps, of Durham and Winchester and the Chief Secretary to negotiate ;
to whom Marillac read the power, and they, without asking for original
or copy, produced similar and more ample letters of credence for them-
selves. Nothing was done the first day except that, with most gracious
words, they discoursed of the benefits of this alliance, the desire of the
Kings for it, the good fortune of being the ministers of it, and the like,
so that, but for long knowing how prodigal the English are of such
language, Marillac might have been lulled to sleep by it. But, seeing all
their words were only general, Marillac replied in the same strain by
specifying nothing ; and it was well he did, for when they came to close
quarters their language was quite different. The second day of their
meeting, after some difficulties about procedure, which were arranged,
they required! the word iin Marillac's power which mentions Madame
Marie as legitimate to be struck out, as, by Act of Parliament, it was
treason for them to confess her legitimate ; but, when the word was erased,
they would settle the conditions of marriage and then speak of the
legitimacy. Otherwise they could not proceed, unless, perhaps, Marillac
had another power in which the word was omitted. Replied that, besides
the danger of falsifying Francis's letters, this quality of legitime had
always been premised when the matter was opened with Norfolk in the
North and was the foundation of the whole edifice, and this doubt ought
to be cleared at the outset, lest after long meetings it should in the end
mar all. The conclusion was that they would refer to their King, and
declare his resolution on the morrow.
The third day they said that, for his affection to this treaty and to save
delay, their King was content to proceed as if the word legitime was
omitted, and, when the rest was agreed, would declare his intention upon
this, and would do much for Francis as the personage of ail the world to
whom he had most affection ; adding, as of themselves, that they thought
their King would deliver the lady as legitimate. However, seeing Marillao
obstinate on this point, and that without this quality of legitimacy he did
not demand any marriage (party), they condescended1 to the lady being
delivered as legitimate, provided' the other conditions were settled, saying,
still, that they had no authority for this, but expected the King would
grant it. Not to lose time, it was thought best to enter upon the other
conditions ; but then, in place of speaking1 of the parti they would give,
putting the waggon before the oxen, they demanded what dower would
be assigned, in order that they might deliberate what dot to give.
Answered that they ought first to declare what dot they would give, and
thereupon discuss its increase and the assignment of the dower; for it
would be strange to speak of the dower, which was but an accessory, before
deciding the dot, which was the principal. This, in the end, they almost
admitted, but, as the hour was past, remitted the matter to the morrow.
The fourth day, when only the conditions remained to be debated, the
difficulty about legitimation being settled, instead of resuming the last
discussion, they took up their first proposition, the alteration of Marillao's
68 33 HENRY VIII.
1542.

power ; and, as to legitimacy, disguising the quality of legitime and able
to succeed, they said that in default of other heirs she should succeed,
and, on Marillao's asking what heirs, replied that they had no charge to
speak further ; and they would not specify whether she should precede all
daughters according to the law of primogeniture, but only that, in default
of legitimate heirs, she would have the right to succeed; alleging that
if they would have delivered her in such a quality to others, she would
have already found a husband as great as Mons. d'Orleans.
Such is their resolution. H Francis will treat, the word legitime should
be omitted from Marillac's power, and a clause added authorising him to
treat, not only the marriage, but all other things in debate between the
Kings, as in the power which they produced. Infers that they are not
so very anxious for this affair to succeed, and their pressing for the
correction of the power may be that they may boaet that they were asked
to deliver to a son of France an illegitimate daughter of England. In
one of these meetings a word escaped them, viz., that it was not in their
King's power to make his daughter legitimate, but to leave her the
inheritance, which word they next day laughingly denied speaking ; which
was tacitly to confess it. Still, as the marriage of Queen Katharine, her
mother, is approved by the Church, if they would, as they promised,
legitimise her as to the succession before all other daughters, Francis's
reputation would be preserved. Whether Francis wishes to temporise,
and keep them from joining the Emperor until he sees how his affairs
succeed, or to break off altogether, no harm is done, for the discussion
has been sweet and gracious. Nothing has been said of the interview;
indeed it was fitting to first clear up the affair of this marriage. The
English have asked him to forward with this a letter to their ambassador ;
presumably enquiring how Francis takes this.
As for occurrences; since the departure of Morvillier, lord William's
wife is released from prison, and her husband will shortly be set at liberty.
Lord Lisle, formerly deputy of Calais, being out of trouble and his Order,*
honour and goods restored, died a few days afterwards. Parliament

148. CHAPUYS to CHARLES V.
The French ambassador, after frequent communication with the
Privy Councillors here, despatched a messenger to his King for fuller
instructions; for those he had, besides being too general, did not state
the sum Francis would demand as the dower of the Princess, besides the
extinction of debts, &c., due to Henry. The ambassador further said that
it would be very difficult, or impossible, to get the English to consent to
extinction of the debt by way of dowry, a,s the arrears of pension alone
amount to nearly one million of gold. In asking for fuller instructions,
he says he thinks the English would prefer the dowry to be charged on
the Duchy of Milan, which Francis gives in appanage to the Duke of
Orleans, if the Dauphin, after renouncing it in his favour, would bind him-
self to help in its conquest whenever required. And the ambassador fully
expects to be able to negociate on these terms. He also presses for a copy
of the treaty of 1527, to which the English continually refer.
Thinks, for all these intrigues, that the marriage will never take place ;
but it would be wise to prevent any chance of these people agreeing with
the French. Thinks that during the last day or two there has been more
business transacted between this King's Councillors and the French
ambassador than during the last four months ; but they have done it only
to excite the Emperor's jealousy; and they have taken care to let Chapuys
know, by a third hand, viz., by a physician whom they use as a spy upon
him and the French ambassador, that the latter has had these long and
frequent interviews, and that he must be negotiating great things.
In conference with the French ambassador, Norfolk desired him to send
his commendations to Mme. d'Allebreeht, whom he called his mistress,
telling her he would at any time furnish 10,000 cr., and even borrow
10,000 more if he knew where, for the recovery of her kingdom of Navarre,
besides devoting his own person to it ; but Chapuys does not believe he
would spend one tournois therein. This information comes from the
ambassador's man, who would like a pension on the receipt of Artois for
his mother. He has also asked indirectly for a larger sum of money.
Has not hesitated to supply his wants. Begs that his own case be remem-
bered. London, 5 March 1542.

Has received his letters of the 4th, and thinks they cannot refuse,
if they wish this marriage, to declare lady Mary of England legitimate;
and if they wish so to diminish her right as not to put her in the rank of
succession due to her primogeniture it will be well to let it pass, and that,
in consideration of this loss, they acquit in favour of this marriage all that
the King of England pretends to be due to him of the pensions, both
principal and arrears ; and a large dowry shall be assigned her for life,
to the perpetual extinction of the pensions and arrears. Marillao shall
lead up to this as graciously as possible, and report frequently how the
affair is going.

13 March. 166. PAGET to HENRY VIII.
The Admiral put off from day to day his answer touching the
merchants' suit, until the 3rd inst., when Paget sent to ask audience with
him about it. He sent back answer that he had spoken with his master,
who said that French merchants in England were in like case for 30,000
fr., and when they were satisfied these English merchants should be so
likewise. Doubting, by the strangeness of this answer, that his servant
had misunderstood the Admiral, went to him personally the next day. He
said his master had ordered him to say that these merchants should be
despatched according to the treaties, and to desire that the French mer-
chants in England might have like despatch. Told him that answer
seemed reasonable1, and that if all men kept their promises as well as
the King did, it would be " a heavenly world." He said the matter was
not of such importance that Paget should come himself. Yesterday, sent
Hammes, the King's servant, to him, with the merchant that sues the
cause, and a letter (copy enclosed). He said, without looking at the
letter, " ' Tell th'ambassador that when we be advertised out of England
that our merchants that have had1 like suits there these ten or twelve
years be satisfied, we shall then see these merchants satisfied here ' ; and
so turned his back and went his way, and tare my letter."
Captain Pblino, who was sent to the Turk upon the death of Fregosa
and Rinoon, returned on the 8th, who reports the Turk and his master to
be sworn brethren, and has brought the King, from the Turk, a Turkey
dagger and sword set with rubies and diamonds, a Turkey horse, with
apparel, and a great diamond, the whole commonly esteemed at 300,000
crs., and even valued by men of good judgment at 100,000 crs. He was
escorted from Ragusa to Venice by four brigantines, and from Venice,
through the Grisons and Switzerland by 400 horsemen. At Venice the
Emperor's ambassador required the Senate to arrest him as a common
traitor to Christendom; whereupon Polino said that neither the ambas-
sador nor his master sought the weal of Christendom as the French king
did, and threatened him so that the ambassador durst not come out of
his lodging. He reports this himself, and also that the Turk (or Grand
Signior, as he calls him) bade him tell his master he would chastise his
enemies for him, and was coming with 400 sail and 200,000 men, and other
brags, at which the French king and his Council seemed much elated.
Besides the marriage with England (the bruit whereof begins to slake),
the French king labours for the daughter of Portugal, saying it is the
Queen's desire to have her daughter with her. A servant of the Queen
lately brought her " figure." Cannot gather from the ambassadors of the
Emperor and Portugal any likelihood of amity that way ; and here is as hot
talking of war as if it should begin to-morrow. Besides the ordinary bands,
300 men of arms and 6,000 foot are sent into Piedmont. Mons. Daw-
beney's band, that was at Avignon, is gone into Picardy, where Mons. de
Vandosme and Marshal Hannyball have been and have appointed 6,000
foot, besideis the ordinary horse bands there, to see to the victualling of Gwy,
a new castle near St. Quentin's, which hitherto the Imperials will not suffer
to be victualled. Signer John Paulo has come from Rome, and has the
conduct of 100 men of arms. Counts Petilyan and Mirandula have their

pensions paid. Upon their asking when they should be in readiness, the
Admiral, Hannyball and Langey each answered that the King would have
war, but it was the Council's part to know when, the servant's to be
always ready.
Signor Dominico Ferrarensis is sent to defend Maran, the surprise of
which the Emperor (as his ambassador says) takes to have been wrought
by the French ambassador.* The Emperor's ambassador at Venice has in-
duced the Signory to beat down a bulwark which those within Maran had
built at the mouth of their haven. The Venetian ambassador's excuse,
that it was built on Venetian ground, is here " but indifferently taken."
The Spaniards at Avignon are not delivered, as he wrote (for the Emperor's
ambassador told him the French king swore, to him and! the bp. of Home's
ambassador, that they were), but taken to Marseilles, and kept straiter
than ever ; as also is the bp. of Valence, one of whose servants is here
arrested, on a charge of conveying letters.
The Emperor's ambassador tells him that the Emperor has the bp. of
Rome's brief to receive half the revenues of the Church within all his
dominions for one year, and that Castile and Arragon have granted a
benevolence, which seems incredible, of three million and one million of
gold respectively. The Emperor has sent 6,000 Spaniards to Livorno.
The marquis of Guasto has levied men and money everywhere. In Flanders
they fortify in every place.
The ambassadors of the Emperor and bp. of Rome have sued for
audience these eight days, and cannot have it. The King says he knows
their errand, viz., the Bishop's to move the marriage of the duke of Savoy
and Signora Victoria (to which the Emperor has agreed, and Monte Pulciano
is returned to Rome), and the Emperor's for a safe-conduct for Granvela,
who is still at Genes, and mistrusts the French king's safe-conduct, for the
Emperor's grand esquire and captain of the archers of his guard have safe-
conducts to pass into Flanders, and dare not use them. The bp. of Rome is
thought to be Imperial. He has sent a second brief for the French cardinals
to repair to Rome, but the King restrains them. Signor Horatio's pension
is delayed, and stranger countenance made to all the papists here. Paris,
11 March. Signed.
P.S. — Had this ready to send off when he received letters from Henry's
Council, the one declaring the whole course of the French ambassador's
overtures for a straiter amity, the other commending certain London
merchants lately spoiled by Robert Vail, a pirate, with a letter to the
French king from his ambassador there. Delivered that letter yester-
day. The King said he was doing what he could to apprehend Vail, who
had deceived him, for he promised' to conquer the land of Canados, and
for that purpose had received ships and furniture and as many prisoners
as he would choose out of the prisons, for peopling the said country, and
now left the enterprise, and lay upon the coast of Brittany, robbing all
that came in his way. He should be hanged, and his lands converted to
pay those whom he had robbed:; but there were French merchants in
England whom the King hoped his good1 brother would likewise consider.
Further conversation detailed, in which the French king said all his
ministers now were good Englishmen, and that he would never love prince
as he did Henry, who surely would not have him marry his son Orleans
to a bastard. Paget described the determination of the matter of the
Princess Dowager, and the consequent state of the King's daughter, and
thought that the word " legitimee " would not have been put in the com-
mission if Francis had reflected how much it touched the King's honour,

which commission, too, only contained1 authority to treat of marriages.
Francis said he could enlarge the commission, and send greater personages,
but asked whether Paget thought it meet that Orleans should marry a
bastard. Told him that he put the cart before the horse; that all that
was required in the commission was to desire to have the lady Mary, and
her legitimation could be treated with the other conditions. The King
asked if, she being legitimated and yet put to one of the furthest degrees
of inheritance, the conditions would include the release of some part of
the pension and interest claimed here. Said he had nothing to do with
the conditions, but was sure his master would be reasonable, and would
not be in fault if the practice failed, and also that the lady Mary was
sought by as great personages as Orleans. He answered that both the
Emperor and the Pope would be glad to talk with him for the marriage
of his son, Orleans, but he would not listen to them till Henry had denied
him, and he would despatch forthwith to his ambassador.
He then called the Chancellor, Admiral, and Marshall Hannyball, and
conferred with them. In all this discourse with the French king Paget's
mark was Henry's honor and profit, and, as they here sometimes take
advantage of men's words, he spoke only as of himself. Paris, 13 March,

Since his last letters, has devised this more ample instruction,

2. Instruction for Marillac as to what to say to the King of England,
in accordance with the language used b(y the King (Francis) to the
English ambassador.
That the King will take the daughter [of England] as legitimate without
requiring the annulling of Acts of Parliament to the contrary, as he does
not wish to dispute the validity or invalidity of what Henry has done.
(Mar lilac's note : It was granted that the lady should be delivered as
legitimate, but whether simply or by grace of her father, and in what
rank for succession, was remitted until settlement of the conditions. They
have half declared, especially Norfolk — by saying she would precede
Madam Isabeau — that if the King should have other daughters, they would
be preferred to her.) And that the persons whom the King of England
shall name may succeed before her, notwithstanding her right of primo-
geniture, provided that, in compensation, the King of England will make
her and Mons. d'Orleans some good and great advantages; and especially
assist Orleans to recover the duchy of Milan, by giving him 500,000 cr.
or the pay of 10,000 footmen for ten years. (Mamllac's note : It is to be
noted that all Marillao's instructions heretofore, by which he dealt with
Norfolk in the North, only mentioned1 acquittance of arrears and principal
of the pensions, which they will nowise grant, far less condescend to this
additional article, which, however, could be mentioned when they spoke
of depriving the lady of her right of primogeniture.) And also that the
King of England shall acquit Francis of all pensions and arrears which
might be due, although there is just pretence that nothing is due since
Henry has contravened the treaties, as is contained more fully in instruc-

tions sent to Marillac in November last. And yeit, for the said acquittance,
the King will assign Orleans, besides his appanage, a large sum of rent
in France, to him and his future wife in survivorship, and to the heirs male
of the marriage, as is the nature of the appanages of children of the
house of France. (Marillac' s note: Marillac desires the amount of this
annual rent specified.) And Marillao shall dexterously point out how the
Emperor seeks the marriage of his daughter and Orleans, offering to deliver
him the Low Countries, the counties of Bourgogne and Charolloys and
other advantages ; (Marillac }s note : This has been done, but the English
think that the Emperor would sooner render Milan) — and has lastly made
the Pope his intercessor, who has assured Francis that Orleans shall be
at once put over the said Low Countries, Burgogne and Charolloys, uncon-
ditionally; but Francis would not listen, because of his desire for the
marriage and confirmation of amity with England, which, to show that he
preferred England to the Emperor, he would never ask for as long as the
Emperor's affairs prospered ; and he desires this marriage settled before
time alters the state of affairs. Bois de Vincennes, 13 March 1542.

14 March. 171. CHARLES V. to CHAPUYS.
Ib., No. 238. Chapuys will understand that his other letter of the same date, in
answer to his despatches of 30 Dec. and 11 March,* was written to
show the King or his Councillors ; but he must not let it out of his hands
or give a copy of it to anyone, for fear the English turn it to their own
profit, or the French say the Emperor was the first to break the truce, —
especially as Chapuys believes the French ambassador has not really
received powers to treat with Henry. As Granvelle has not yet returned
from his mission (though he has doubtless informed Chapuys how, through
fear of French galleys, he had been obliged to touch at the island of Hieres,
and thence go back to Genoa) the Emperor has sent the powers and instruo-
tions for Chapuys by sea to Genoa, to be thence forwarded through
Germany to the Queen Regent in Flanders. Has also written to her to
send similar powers and instructions, if she think fit, in the Emperor's
name to save time ; on receipt of which, Chapuys shall enter on negociations
at once, with a view to ascertain the King's real intentions, aided by the
old treaties, which he can confirm and add to at discretion, and negotiate
so as to defeat French intrigues. Has detained M. de Courrieres, who
wished to return home through France, till he hears how the negotiation
entrusted to Chapuys proceeds. If well, he may be sent straight to
England by sea, with letters for the King and his Council. Valladolid,
M March 1542.
P.S. — Since writing, has received Chapuys's despatch of the 9th Feb.,
referring: to a previous one of the 29th Jan. The latter has not come to
hand ; it mav have been sent through Italy, to the care of Granvelle. Is
glad of the French ambassador's discontent with the King's ministers, and
desires Chapuys to enter negooiations at once, to keep the King and his
ministers at the Emperor's devotion as long as possible. Would be glad
to know something of the bp. of London's message before he comes. Has
nothing to say about the Queen's condemnation, except that he would like
to know if Henry is inclined to marry again, and in what quarter. Chapuys
must try and prevent his taking back Anne of Cleves. Valladolid,

tracts.)
An account of the proceedings in the Convocation.
In the second session (27 Jan.), Ric. Gwent was confirmed prolocutor,
and the Abp. notified to both Houses the King's desire that they should
consult for the establishment of religion, that in the English Bible many
things needed reformation, and that a collection should be made of the
canons and other laws against simony. In the third session (3 Feb.), the
Abp. asked whether, without scandal, the Great Bible in English might be
retained. The majority thought it might not, unless first corrected with
the Bible which is commonly read in the Church of England. The Pro-
locutor showed a constitution against simoniacs.
In the fourth session (10 Feb.) nothing was done. In the fifth (13
Feb.), the company selected to examine the Bibles committed the New
Testament to the bps. of Durham, Winchester, Hereford, Rochester and
Westminster, with doctors Wotton, Day, Coren, Wilson, Leighton, May
and others of the inferior house ; and the Old Testament to the abp. of
York and bp. of Ely, with Redman, Taylor, Haynes, Robertson, Cooks,
&c., mean skilled in Hebrew, Greek, Latin and English. The Abp. gave
warning of certain statutes to be made against adulterers, perjurers and
blasphemers, and required their opinions in writing on Friday next. On
which day (17 Feb.), the statute against simony presented by the pro-
locutor was committed1 to the bps. of Worcester, Westminster and Win-
chester, After some discussion about teaching the people the Lord's
Prayer, &c., Convocation was prorogued1 ; but, before it dispersed, the bp.
of Winchester read aloud the Latin wordsf in the Bible which he wished
either to be retained as they were or else fittingly turned into English.
In the seventh session (14J Feb.), the bp. of Winchester was appointed
to prepare a decree about not letting benefices to farm beyond the term
of 20 years. The Abp. then moved the abolishing of the candles before

images, and more diligent erasing of the names of the bps. of Rome and
Thomas Becket, and about vestments, the Lord's Prayer, &c. The bps.
advised a petition to the King, to correct the public plays and comedies
which are acted in London, to the contempt of God's Word. The Pro-
locutor introduced certain decrees against blasphemers, perjurers and
swearers by God and His name, upon which the Abp. and fathers decided
to counsel the King to make a statute. In the 8th session (3 March) was
decreed the observance of the Use of Sarum throughout the province. In
next session (10 March), the Abp. announced that it was the King's wish
that the two Testaments should be examined by both Universities; but
(except himself, Ely and St. David's) all dissented and asserted that it
was more suitable for the Synod than for the Universities. A question was
raised whether a Christian should say " The Lord save thee," or " Our Lord
save thee." The Abp., Ely and St. David's alone held for the form " The
Lord." A bill was read that came from the Lord Chancellor, that chan-
cellors might be married men, and have power to excommunicate, &c., as
priests do, and they and their registers to hold office for life. The bishops
judged it not worthy nor convenient j;6 be read in Parliament, and that
the Lord Chancellor should silence it. The Prolocutor exhibited a book
in parchment for the incorporation of the Stationers, to be referred to the
King. Doctors Wotton and Leighton exhibited' to Winchester a version
they had made of St. Paul's Epistles to the Corinthians.
In the 10th session (17 March) three bills were read, viz. : — About un-
lawfully contracted matrimonies, the appointment of perpetual vicars, and
simony.

177. THE ENGLISH BIBLE.
K- °- Proclamation against the Bible and other books, in English.
Under pretence of expounding the truth, lewd and evil disposed persons
have sown abroad, by books printed in English, sundry detestable heresies ;
by reason whereof "certain men of late" have attempted' arrogantly to
impugn the truth and trouble the "godly religion united and established
under the King's Majesty in this his realm." To prevent this, "being
the boots increased to an infinite number and unknown diversities of
titles and names, whereby specially to revoke, annul, or condemn the
same, the King's Majesty is enforced to use his general prohibition, com-
mandment, and proclamation as follows " : —
That after 31 Aug. next no one shall receive or keep the text of Tyndalle's
or Coverdale's translation of the New Testament, " nor any other than is
permitted by the Act of Parliament made" \substituted for "nor any
other," except the Bible of the great volume finished in November anno
xv«xl, printed by Richard Graf ton," which is to be used by such persons
and in such reverent sort as by his injunctions and laws is appointed].
That after the said day no person, keep any book set forth in the names
of Frythe, Tyndale, Wiclif, Joye, Roye, Basyle, Beale, Barnes, Coverdale,
Tumour or Tracy, or of any other, containing matter contrary to the
doctrine set forth and established by Parliament holdera at Westminster
the (blank) year of the King's reign. That all persons having
such books printed or written in English as aforesaid, shall (if he be a
servant), before 31 Aug. next, deliver them to the master of his house ;
and masters of houses shall deliver them to the mayor, bailiff, or chief

constable of their town, to be delivered openly within 40 days to the
sheriff of the shire or the bp.'s chancellor or commissary of the diocese,
to be openly burnt, and the fact certified to the King's Council before 1
Oct. next. That none shall mistrust the danger of the penal statutes for
keeping the books, the King pardons that offence for the time here limited
for delivery of the books, "and commandeth that no bishop, chancellor,
commissary, mayor, bailiff, sheriff or constable shall be curious to mark
who bringeth forth such books, but only order and burn them openly."
If any man after 31 Aug. be proved before four of the King's [Privy]*
Council to have hidden or used any part of such books, he shall be im-
prisoned at the King's pleasure, and make such fine and ransom as the
said Privy Council shall determine. That henceforth no printer print
any English book, ballad or play without putting in his name and the
name of the author and day of the print ; and the printer shall present
the first copy to the mayor of the town where he dwells two days before
allowing any other copy to leave his hands. From the day of this
proclamation no person shall bring into the realm any English book
printed beyond sea concerning Christian religion, nor shall sell any
English book printed beyond sea without the King's special licence.

17 March. 178. MARILLAC to FRANCIS I.
The long Councils here, which have been and are held from morning
to night, made him presume that some resolution of Parliament, which
was to end at Mid-Lent, would give him an. argument for writing; but
now, seeing that all continues until Easter, he cannot delay so long.
Affairs here at present incline to complete peace and surety, since there
is no talk at this season of arming ships and reinforcing garrisons as in
the past three years, which shows that they have no suspicion of
their neighbours, for small doubt would put them on their guard, as was
seen last year. Although it was lately said that this King would visit
Dover and his ports nearest France, the journey is either deferred till
after Easter or dashed. Still, this tranquillity may not last long, seeing
that they continue the fortifications already commenced, designing new
fortifications, and considering all schemes to secure their frontiers.
Besides, they are making a marvellous quantity of artillery, and, since
Marillac has been here, scarcely a week has passed but they have made
new pieces in four or five places appointed for founding. Of saltpetre,
bullets, and other necessaries they have great provision, which they spare
nothing to increase when they have opportunity to import them.
Although they have few war horses, besides the Acts made for every lord
to keep a number in proportion to his rents, all the nobles are now making
studs, for which they have great commodity in their great parks and good
ground, which is mostly untilled and left in grass. This King has two
stables of 100, which Marillac has seen, and can draw 150 yearly from his
studs towards Wales and in Nottinghamshire. With these preparations
and the treasure they have accumulated, when their frontiers are secured,
they will be able to do something, especially if they should see a conflagra-
tion which may be to their advantage. Judging by this King's disposi-
tion, thinks he inclines rather to keep his estates than to try his fortune
in increasing them ; for he is already very stout and daily growing heavier,
much resembling his maternal grandfather, King Edward, being about

his age, in loving rest and fleeing trouble. He seems very old and grey
since the mishap (malheur) of this last Queen, and will not yet hear
of taking another, although he is ordinarily in company of ladies, and his
ministers beg and urge him to marry again.
Of news there is nothing to add, save the calumnies of the Imperialists
about Francis's intelligence with the Grand Seigneur to the prejudice
of Christendom. Is often shown letters from Flanders, Venice, and Spain
full of such lies, and, since every pettv merchant dares to write at
random, they must be instigated to it. Francis's enemies can contrive na
invention but this to hide the infamy they incurred by the death of
Fregoze and Rincon.
P.S. — 17 March : — Yesterday, at closing this packet, received Francis's
letter from Bois de Vincennes, in answer to his of the 4th, and, accordingly,
has taken pains to conduct the affair as graciously as possible, and has
found these deputies more open and practical (di&pose), at least
apparently so. They agreed to proceed without the correction of
Marillao's power, on his pointing out that the principal effect of the power
was for the conclusion, which could not be without the lady's being declared
legitimate, and consented to deliver her as legitimate if the conditions
were agreed, among which will be discussed the meaning of legitimate
with regard to the succession. It remains only to go into the matter
and see if they will grant all that Marillac's instructions import; and,
as they seem to wish a brief conclusion, he desires to know as soon as
possible what sum the dower will amount to, and where it will be assigned,
and whether Francis will demand her as legitimate simply or legitimate
by the grace of the King her father in the way that Francis sometimes
leeritimises those who are not so. Marked as sent by Henry.*

St *P ^in 'nie ^n£ has receive(* Ris of the 13th, and takes them in good
esoT™ part, both touching the merchants, &c., and the marriage. Soon after
their receipt, the French ambassador intimated that he had letters, and
desired to speak with those who were before commissioned for that
purpose. This being readily granted, he said he had letters from his
master, which showed his master's affection for the King to be such that
it would not be his fault if things did not proceed ; his master was content
to let the matter of "faire legittime" or "tenir legittime" stand over
until the other conditions were agreed upon, provided ever that she
should be at the last declared "legittime." Answered that the King's
towardness was equal to the French king's, and it only remained to
descend to specialties; but first they would ask whether his commission
was amended with regard to the word "legittime." He said he had no
new commission, but that they might friendly commune of the conditions,
and, if they grew to any accord, a new commission might be sent. Made
courtesy who should begin, and told him, when he pressed them first to
" set forth the woman with her dote," that he who demanded her ought
first to present the personage. Finally, to show frankness, they put the
woman in the wooer's place, and said the King would give his daughter
100,000 crs., provided she was assured of 20,000 ors. a year in dower, or
more in that proportion. To that he said that he would " roundly propose
another overture, ' and that is,' quod he, ' this : there is a pension which
was granted upon the renunciation of such title as you pretended in
France, the treaty whereof is conditional, and the conditions hath not
on your part been observed ; but will you be content, to avoid all quarrels
and to establish this perfect amity, to give with your daughter all
th'arrearages of that pension, and also clearly to remit for ever the whole
pension ? And we shall make her such an estate as you shall have cause
to be contented withal.'" Answered, that the King had by no treaty
renounced his title, nor broken the conditions of any treaty, and they
marvelled at such an unreasonable motion; the dote of the late French
queen, the King's sister, wa.s but 300,000 crs., and that of the late Queen
of Scots 100,000 crs., and they pressed him (knowing he could not do it)
to tell where any woman in Christendom was ever advanced with a million,
whereas this demand included a debt of two millions in arrears, the
release of 100,000 crs. a year during the King's life, and 50,000 ors. for
ever after, besides the salt money payable during the King's life. Told
him to ask reason, and doubtless the King would listen, and did their best
to persuade him ; but he remained firm, and they parted for that day.
Referred to the King, by whose command they had another conference
with the Ambassador, in which they declared that the King marvelled
at the strangeness of his discourse, as contrary to Paget's report of his
conference with the French king, who, considering that she should be
made legittime and placed in one of the furthest degrees of inheritance,
desired only that some part of the pension and interest there should be
released, And now he (the Ambassador) demanded what no amity coulfl
33 HENRY VIII.
1542.
require, and interlaced with it matters touching the King's honor, as
breach of covenants (affirming the lack of aid when the Emperor invalided
Provence) and renunciation of titles. The King could not think that
such a demand proceeded from his good brother, and, without further
ground than a bare marriage, would never grant it. As to titles, showed
him the treaties, remembering also what suit was made at the being here
of the Admiral, and after, at the meeting of the Admiral, the Chancellor
of France that now is, and others with " me the duke of Norfolk, me the
lord Privy Seal and others," at Calais, for those matters of titles, and
the French king's offer to conquer and deliver lands in the Low Parts for
them. And, as to breach of conditions, told him that, upon the Emperor's
invasion, the King offered the aid in men limited in the treaty, and was
asked, in lieu of them, to grant suroeance of payment of the pension
during the time of war ; which he did, and it was with " great gramerces "
accepted.
He answered that their declaration contained two points, the greatness
of the demand and certain words touching the King's honor; but he
thought the demand not great, for divers considerations (whereof he
expressed none worth noting), and for the rest he thought the treaties
bare the matter of the titles, and there might be some appearance of the
other. He began to reckon how the debt of two millions arose, and was
referred to the account, looked at the treaty of perpetual peace, and
promised to write home. And so, "after a very friendly sort," they
departed.
As soon as he can, after receipt of this, Paget shall repair to the French
king and say that the King, perceiving by his (Pagetfs) letters, the French
king's desire to have their amity established by this marriage, and his
trust that, considering she should be legitimated and thereby put to one
of the furthest places of inheritance, Henry would release some part of
his pensions and interest there, now signifies that the French ambassador
has made such an unreasonable and unfriendly demand, in asking the
whole pension and arrears and interlacing other things with it, that
Henry cannot but think those who sent the Ambassador's instructions
have mistaken Francis's mind. In reasonable things he will be found
a perfect friend, but upon unreasonable demands he must make a stay,
and even think that Francis desires rather unreasonable gain than in-
violable amity. If he will send his Ambassador convenient instructions
and sufficient commission, or rather join some other with him, he shall
find Henry loving, friendly, and reasonable.
Hereupon, if he agree not with what Paget wrote, or seem to defend
his Ambassador, Paget may reverently remind him of the one and inform
him of the whole (or part) of the discourses above written.
The King is informed that a gentleman,* an Italian or Spaniard, coming
to him in post with six or seven horses, is stopped at Monstrell or Abbe-
ville. Bearer is instructed to enquire the truth of this; and, if it be
found true, Paget shall signify it to the French king, declaring how far
such an attempt varies from the appearance of amity between them, and
requiring his release.

ft- O. Since his last of the 17th, showing that the difficulties about the
(Almost the" sufficiency of the power and the quality of the legitimation were amicably
whole test.) settled, has received the letters and instructions of the 13th; which
almost came too late, for they were already assembled and engaged on
the matter of the arrears and principal of the pensions, which Marillac,
in accordance with previous instructions, demanded for the lady's dot.
This last [instruction] added' 500,000 cr. or- the pay of 10,'000 foot for the
recovery of Milan, which might be demanded if they wished to deprive
the lady of her right of primogeniture ; but judging by the language they
have held, far from granting- this, they will scarcely hear of the first, viz.,
acquittance of the arrears and principal, insisting that, of the 2,000,000
of gold promised by the treaty of 1525, only 1,000,000 has been paid, that
between 700,000 and 800,000 is already due, and that the term for full
payment ends in two years, after which, by the same treaty, there is another
bond for 100,000 or. during this King's life. Moreover, by the treaty of
perpetual peace of 1527, there is a pension payable to this King and1 his
successors of 50,000 cr., apart from the salt money (le bruage du sel). Con-
cluding that for the marriage of a lady of such high station, beauty, and
good parts, with a second son of France, the demand of such a gift is
excessive, seeing that King Louis XII. had but 300,000 or., and the
Dauphin, then duke of Orleans, when this marriage was concluded for
him, but 330,000 cr.
Replied, as modestly as possible, so as not to irritate them, reminding
them that the promise of the 2,000,000 was principally for old debts and
disputes, and that the last treaty mentioning the perpetual pension of
50,000 cr., besides other reasons for its nullity, was never ratified by their
Parliament, as expressly required; and the whole of the pensions might
be brought in doubt, because the contracts had not been fully kept,
namely, the mutual defence in which they knew whether they had
acquitted themselves when the Emperor, with all his forces leaving the
frontiers, assailed France; but it would be best to make an ill cut coat
of it, and cede the whole to the lady as dot, to obtain her an honourable
dower for life. Even if all they claimed was due beyond question and
the marriage portions in the past were not so great, they must consider
the advantage of marrying their daughter so high without disbursing
ready money, but only giving up an old1 and1 doubtful debt, which, however,
would be accepted rather than other offers (mentioning that of the
Emperor) which would be preferable, but that Francis cared less for profit
than for the preservation of their amity.
With such language, held in accordance with his instructions, Marillac
could not, with all his dexterity and moderation, prevent them insisting,
before all things, that the pensions are loyally due and they have fulfilled
the treaties ; maintaining that Francis was satisfied with their forbearing
to demand the pensions during the Emperor's invasion, and the men they
offered would1 have come too late, for Francis was on the point of leaving
Lyons to go to Avignon. They insisted that such demands were so,
33 SENttY VIII. 85
1542.
excessive that they knew not what to say, and, that their ambassador had
written that Francis had expressed himself content with part of the pen-
sions. And when Marillac insisted on the whole, they believed either that
the ambassador had misunderstood Francis, or that Marillac's instructions
had not been drawn in accordance with Francis's intention. Reiterating
that to demand so advantageous a parti argued that the marriage was not
really intended, they said only that they would give a reasonable dot in
proportion to the dowry, but first would write to their ambassador to
remind Francis of the language he had held, and how far Marillac's varied
from it.
Thinks the said ambassador may have misunderstood; for last instruc-
tion of the 13th implies that, if Madame Marie is not to enjoy her right
of primogeniture, Marillac is to demand 500,000 cr. or the pay of 10,000
foot for the recovery of Milan, and the ambassador has written (and they
showed Marillac the letter) that Francis demands in recompense for this
only a part of the pensions, which is unlikely, seeing that Francis writes
that he has held to the said ambassador language similar to the said
instruction. Seeing that they refer again to their ambassador, Marillac
does the like, and returns herewith the copy of all the instructions he
has had, with the substance of their answer to each article in the margin,*
that Francis may thereupon send precise instructions what to conclude
and how much dowry shall be assigned. Asks for copies of all the treaties,
beginning with that of Ardres in 1518, for he has only those which mention
the surety and entertainment of the subjects of the two realms. Begs him
to consider that it would be an impossibility to make the English disburse
money besides the pensions, but, as to the pensions, it seems reasonable
to remit the million above-mentioned and all that might fall due during
this King's life, leaving those who come after him to dispute whether the
pension of 50,000 cr. is justly due and the treaty properly ratified. If
they can come near any agreement here, Marillac wild make a little
extract of what is settled, so that thereupon Francis may send men of
the authority requisite to capitulate the treaty. Marked as sent by M.

K. O. Instructions given by the King to Sir George Throgmerton and
Roger Wigston, whom he "now sendeth into his county of Warwick for
the purposes ensuing " : —
The King has, by advice of his Council, resolved to levy a loan of such
of his subjects as "may and will gladly strain themselves «o bear
with him for a time;" and has appointed them, with
certain assistants, to practise it in the county of War-
wick. They shall take sthe letters, instructions and writings prepared
for their despatch, and with speed repair to such place as they think meet,
send for their assistants, and deliver the King's letters of credence. They
shall then declare how the King has been at great charges in erecting and
repairing castles and fortresses here and at Calais and Guisnes, in making
his haven at Dover, and in maintaining a great garrison to reduce Ireland
"to the knowledge of God and good civility"; and, although he has
received a Subsidy from 201. upwards and a grant of his spirituality, yet
he has disbursed far more than he shall receive, and the fortifications
remain so imperfect that 10jp,000/. would scantily suffice to expend upon
them this year ; and if the King should, of his own treasure, disburse the
necessary sum, he might be disf urnished against any sudden event " either
by outward parts or otherwise," and, considering the daily preparations
madfc by his neighbours, the Emperor and the French king, and the motions
threatened by the Turk, the realm would be in great danger. The King
therefore desires his nobles and others, who may strain themselves, to
advance to him money, by way of loan, to be repaid within two years next
ensuing, for the repayment whereof they shall receive privy seals binding
the King, his heirs and successors. Throgmerton and Wigston shall then
express to the said personages joined with them the King's trust in them
before many others, get them first liberally to assess themselves, and then
to consider the whole shire, with reference to a book to be received here-
with of the names of such as are thought meet to contribute and the rate
at which they were taxed for the Subsidy, dismissing some or taking in
others at discretion. They shall appoint persons to receive the money
growing of the loan and pay it over to Edm. Peckham, esquire, cofferer
of the Household, who shall allow \\d. in the pound for collection and
portage to London; and *hey shall deliver to the receivers, by
indenture, privy seals, to be given for loans, and shall, like>-
wise, receive back unused privy seals. They shall press no man
to contribute unless he can spend in lands and offices 50£. a year, or is
worth in goods 100Z. at least. The least rate that can conveniently be levied
of the hundred is 10Z. from lands or 61. 13s. ±d. from goods. If any person
shows himself "stiff in condescending to the same, upon allegation of
poverty or other pretence " which seems insufficient, they shall use what
persuasion they can, and, if all will not " draw him to some reason and

what they have said, note his name and command him to return to his
house, " an/1 so pass him over in such a silence as he be no empeachment
or evil example to the rest."
They shall travail with all spiritual persons for like contribution.

Since his last, on the 5th, the French ambassador, in consequence
of a letter from his master, has had two interviews with the Privy Council
and one with the Duke of Norfolk alone. Has not hitherto been able to
learn what he is about, but has just received from his informant with the
embassy a number of papers and letters in cipher, with one from the
Ambassador himself to Francis, which he has not yet had time to decipher.
Will send them by next post to the Queen of Hungary, though probably
they are of small importance. Parliament will be prorogued two or three
days hence till All Souls Day. Nothing has yet been made public as to
their deliberations, though it is said they are going to raise the value of
coin, as has been, done in France. The Princess has been somewhat in-
disposed, but is now better. The King has sent people to inquire after
her health, and put his physicians at her service, as he has also done to
lady Anne of Cleves, who is ill of tertian fever at Richmond. The wife
of lord William and other ladies implicated with the late Queen were set
free soon after her execution ; and, if it be true, as reported, that the King
has given a gracious audience to lady William, her husband and the duchess
of Norfolk will probably soon recover their liberty.
About a week ago Count Claude Rangone and another young count, with
a captain named Camille, arrived in this town. They must have left
France rather discontented, for they have not called on the French ambas-
sador, and) mean to return to Italy through Flanders and Germany. Hears
that, to ingratiate themselves with this King, they give out that they are
on bad terms with the Pope, but they will not get much reward for this
if they do not offer to murder Cardinal Pole. London, 25 March 1542.

K. O. In his last, of 21 March, certified receipt of theirs of the 19th, and
how he sent his secretary, Nicholas, to Abbeville to know whether any such
gentleman as they wrote of had been stayed, and his name. Nicholas
returned to-day. Not passing by Boulogne, he could get no knowledge
of the personage till he came to Abbeville, where he learnt that the
gentleman was stayed by Mons. de Egincourt, captain of the castle, upon
the order that no Burgundians, Italians, or Spaniards should pass until
Mareohal de Bies was advertised. The captain sent a post to De Bies at
Mustrull ; who wrote that the gentleman should depart next day. Nicholas
learnt there that he was le counte Darago[ne], sent by the Emperor to
England, and that, upon speaking with him, De Bies had him conducted
to Boulogne, where he took shipping, as Wallop wrote in his last. Thinks
the cause of his stay was the enterprise of Mons. de Vandosme for the
castle of Bapham where it is bruited the Dolphin was. Has learnt, other-
wise, that the gentleman's name is Signior Fregoize, brother to Sesar
Fregoize, who was slain in Italy, with Captain Ryncolne, by the Imperials,
and that he repairs to England to lament his brother's death. If it is
known that he came from the Emperor, the French will take it ill, for
they fear the Emperor is seeking to marry the lady Mary, as is bruited
both in France and Flanders, " and great wagers offered daily upon the
same." The French king will lie about Paris until the Admiral's process
is reviewed. The Dolphyn shall go to Toryn in Piedmont, and '-he king
of Navarre, who has lain long upon the frontiers of Navarre, return to
Court. Guisnes, 25 March. Signed.

25 March. 200. PAGBT to HENRY VIII.
R o On Wednesday last, at 10 p.m., received letters from the Council,
St. P. vin., containing the discourse with the French ambassador, and instructions.
685. Went on Thursday from Paris to Chawlme, 10 leagues off, where (for the
chase) the French king lies, with his privy chamber and privy band.
Yesterday, through the Admiral, obtained audience with the King. Re-
minded him that in speaking of the marriage now in treaty, where he
seemed at first to grate upon the term bastard, after hearing Paget's
opinion, he said that she, being but legitimated, should be set in one of the
furthest degrees of inheritance, and therefore Henry must " have con-
sideration of some part of the pension and interest here." He said they,
indeed, had such a communication at Boy de Vincenne. Details further
conversation, in which Paget said he had written so to his master, who
33 HENRY VIII. 91

was now surprised by an unreasonable demand made by the French ambas-
sador, and could not but think that the ambassador had mistaken his
instructions. Francis said he had always meant to proceed roundly and
reasonably; his aim was to secure quietness between them and their
posterity, and so he had willed his ambassador to declare to Norfolk at
the beginning. Paget said the ambassador had demanded the whole
pension and arrears, which was a dower almost inestimable, as there was
more than a million of actual debt in arrears, whereas Paget never
thought that more than 100,000 or 140,000 cr., at most, of the arrears
would be demanded ; and so he had written. He replied that Paget might
think as he liked, but his own meaning was to remove all cause of con-
tention about this pension by granting it, with the interest upon the
arrears, to his son and Henry's daughter in survivorship, and after them
to their issue for ever. Said the ambassador had spoken more piquantly
than Francis intended, for he mentioned renunciation of titles and
breach of treaties. Francis interposed, saying, "If he desired any
renunciation of titles, he did more than he had commission ; for I desire
none other than I have already ; and if the King, my brother, will make
claim of title, I have his acquittance in writing to show." Replied that
the writing was to the effect that, keeping his covenants, Francis should
quietly enjoy his possessions; as the Admiral well knew. Francis said
he would not dispute about titles, for he sought friendship, and, however
Paget may have taken his words, his meaning was to bestow the pension
as he said. Paget thought it would be hard to bring his master to such
an unreasonable thing. Francis said he spoke as if the matter were clear;
but there were knots in it ; when the Emperor invaded France,* Henry was
bound to furnish certain ships, which he did not. Answered that, in lieu
of the aid at that time, Henry forebore the pension. Francis said, " The
King my brother never forbare it at my demand; but I required Monsr
de Winchestre, being then ambassador here, of the bounden aid, and he
answered me expressedly that the King my brother was a common friend
to us both, and would remain neuter; which answer my lord of Norfolk,
at his being here lastf, did confess unto me, praying God to forgive them}:
that were the cause of it, and saying that my good brother, of himself,
was well willing." Replied that his master was " observantissimus " of
his treaties, and those Francis named were great wise men, and, therefore,
he could not think that such an answer had- been made. " Je me rapporte
a vous (quod he) mais il est vray." Prayed him to consider that the King
had never practised sinisterly with him, whatever others might have done,
at Nice or Agamortis, or in passages through his realm. He protested
his love to Henry ; to make this marriage, he would come to Calais and
show what a good brother he would be, " without respect of Pope or any
man else." Told him that then he must slacken his straitness and go
roundly to work and send full instructions and commission, or else join
some one with the ambassador. He said he liked the device, and would
send one at once. " Sir (quod I), I will be glad that the King's Majesty,
my master, shall perceive his report, whom you intend to send, and my
writing to agree." " Ne vous en soucies," quod he ; and departed.
Took the more note of his terms as, like others before, he has found
him to vary; and got him, upon pretence of ignorance of the French
tongue, to repeat his tale twice.
The Admiral then came up. Details conversation with him, upon Paget's
saying that his master thought the ambassador had mistaken his instruc-
tions, but, it now appeared, that was not so. Told him about the renun-
ciation of titles, which nad been one of the chief points of discussion when

200. PAOET to HENRY VIIL— eon*.
he was in England* and with Norfolk and others at Calais, f He said he
remembered that, at Henry's desire, he was sent to England, and Henry
moved that both together should make war in the Nether Countries, and,
upon a marriage then treated for the Lady Elizabeth, 50,000 of the pension
should be converted into a duchy, to be bestowed as dote, and for the
other 50,000 Henry would take Mons. de Vandosme's lands in Flanders,
supplemented, if necessary, by other conquered lands. That purpose
stayed because they could not agree about Henry's other demands, viz.,
that Francis should not consent to a General Council, nor treat with the
Emperor without his consent, and a third which he had forgotten. After-
wards, at the meeting at Calais, the same matters were moved, and also
Henry demanded that they should renounce the Pope ; which at that time
could not be, although he (the Admiral) had conveyed out of the way two
of the rankest cardinals, { for there was a Councillor] | that wrought the
contrary at home. Reminded him that he desired renunciation of titles.
He said he did not remember it. "I doubt not (quod I) but there be
tokens to put you in remembrance ; and as touching the rest of that dis-
course for the marriage, albeit the dowry (take it as you speak it) had
been wondrous great, yet was it nothing to this that you demand now."
He said it was so long ago that he had forgotten, but the breach at that
time was for the Pope's cause; for then they had two or three cardinals
that looked each to be Pope, but now they had only good fellows that
cared for nothing but to make good cheer. Told him that, with his wisdom
and experience, he knew the treachery of the bp. of Rome and sincerity of
the King; and asked him to get one sent into England for this matter
that was a man of .reason, and fully instructed. He said (and just
before, talking with Paget and the Cardinal of Paris, in
a great presence, he spoke most honorably of Henry and
shamefully of the bp. of Rome) Henry was one of the " gentlest
and truest gentlemen," and of the best nature that ever he knew, and if
he had not the master he had he would sue to be his servant. He asked
if renunciation of the bp. of Rome's obedience would be demanded, saying
the clergy was " vengeable great here." Replied that that was no matter ;
it would be easier for them to serve one master than two ; and the person
sent to England should be largely instructed. He said no notable per-
sonage must be sent, for the thing must be privily done. Finally, he
begged Paget not to talk with the cardinal of Belley or the queen of
Navarre about these proceedings, for no man knew of them but the King
and himself. Reminded him that then, if the thing came not to good
effect, great fault would be found in him. " All shall be well, I trust,"
quod he, and went his way.
Apologies for Eis insufficiency. Is abashed to speak in such weighty
matters, when he sees the French king " charge men of so great wit and
experience," and the Admiral vary in that matter of title, " wherein your
Majesty, I think, had conference with him yourself."
Occurrents are that the bp. of Rome labours to join the Emperor and the
King and " save himself upright," but his ambassador is ill heard, both by
the King and Admiral. The king of Portugal, because the bp. of Rome
has made cardinal a traitor of his who was his ambassador at Venice, § has
revoked his ambassador from Rome; and the bp. has none in Portugal.
Polino is returned to Constantinople, to signify (it is muttered) when the
French king will break with the Emperor. The Turk has sent to Venice

for leave to send horsemen through Friola, and the Venetians are much
perplexed. The king of the Romans labours, through the Emperor's
ambassador here, for the surrender of Maran. The French, king gives the
ambassador fair words, and sends supplies to them of the town. Within
these two days, 30 cannons have gone from Paris to fortify Arde and Guy,
alias Chatelet. The Emperor's grand esquire is coming through France.
If he comes to Court (as the Emperor's ambassador says he will, to thank
the King for his safe-conduct), Paget will note whether he has any other
mission. The practise with Liege is spied, and the doctor* that passed
this way imprisoned by the queen of Hungary.

29 March. 206, THE PRIVY COUNCIL to PAGET.
The King has received his of the 25th. As the Admiral has shown
himself very toward, and a special and secret worker in the matters now
in communication, the King thinks well to "taste him" with "a second
assay," before the arrival of the gentleman Paget writes of, whose instruc-
tions may then, if necessary, be amended. Paget shall at once repair to
the Admiral, and say he has written his conferences, both with the French
king and him, to the King, who thanks him for his good will, and, having
always reputed him a loyal servant to his master, is glad to see him in that
place and authority, trusting that the King his brother's affairs will now
be better mayned than they have been; and, because he is a special
minister in this matter, would have him know that the French king cannot
be better affected than the King is, and therefore, if the gentleman who
comes hither shows that this motion proceeds from desire of amity and
not of lucre, the King will grant any reasonable demand, but nothing will
be won by the use of " piquant and indirect matter." Therefore, if they
indeed mind this amity and marriage, let them weigh what reason and
friendship may demand ; and, in respect of the marriage, ask things meet
to be granted, and, for the rest, devise a " reciproque." These things
must be weighed in the instructions given to him that is to come hither, and
they, offering a reasonable reciproque, may be assured to find the English
"more than reasonable."
Praying him to keep this declaration secret, as the King opens to him
the bottom of his heart, that he may the rather frame things for the
speedy conclusion of these matters.

livres of rent, and the dowry of the daughter to be 25,000 or 30,000 livres
of rent, but as small as possible, considering that she brings nothing but
a simple acquittance of a disputed debt, and the dowry of the queens of
France is but 50,000 or 60,000 livres of rent. The lands to be delivered
shall be named later. Francis does not wish the daughter legitimated,
but only delivered as legitimate. If they will grant nothing for the
conquest of Milan, he shall leave that, provided that they remit the whole
treaty, of October 1525, for the remainder of the two millions and the life
pension, and demand no approbation of the perpetual pension; but, in
case they insist on that approval, more ample reasons, together with
the copy of the treaties from which they are taken, are sent,
showing the said pension to be nowise due; for, above all
things, Francis will not have it approved, but, at the worst, let
things remain as they are. The lands delivered shall be to Orleans and
the lady and their heirs male, and shall be re-purcha sable to this Crown
for 600,000 cr., or the whole sum acquitted if it cannot bs done otherwise.
If Orleans or his wife die before the King of England1, the life pension of
100,000 or. shall be paid. The acquittances shall be sent to show how
much of the two millions has been paid. Countersigned : Bayard.

E. O. At the late being here of the Commissioners for reformation

expel the aliens that had their lands to farm, and were told
to await the King's resolution. Now, perceiving divers of their
neighbours touched by an old information by Thos. Acourt, laid in the
Exchequer here and now commanded to be executed, they have renewed
their suit. Many of these strangers have lived long there soberly, have
married English subjects, and repute themselves denizens " by reason of the
oaths and bills given to them by the late Lord Lisle." Beg him to set order
in this. Calais, penult. March 33 Hen. VIII. Signed: H. Mawtravers :

Certain merchants of Aberdeen complain that, on the 3rd March,
their ship, the Martin, upon her voyage to Dieppe in Normandy, was
driven upon the shore betwixt Scairbur*- and Fylabriggis, where she was
broken by tempest, and all in her perished except three men.
Henry's subjects of the coast there have taken all the fish, cloth and
wool and the merchants' money, extending to 600Z. Scots, and refuse
redress. No reason can be alleged to refuse redress of goods saved,
not being wreck, where certain persons are yet alive. Begs him to

... PAGET to HENRY VIII.
Whereas the French king, at Boy de Vincenne, offered to send
greater personages into England to treat the matter now in hand, and,
in his last conference with Paget, promised to join with his ambassador
there another personage fully instructed, he will not now observe his
promise; as appears by the Admiral's letter, enclosed, written in reply
to one from Paget asking the name of the personage. "Whereby I
perceive that every other king is not (absit adulatio verbis) as your
Majesty is, master of his word ; whom I have noted so well advised, before
you do determine, that your Majesty hath no cause after to change your
determination." The French king, Chancellor, Admiral and Marshal
Hannyball have done nothing else these two days but consider the treaties
with England; and the treasurers have been at Court with accounts of
payments and arrears.
Has, upon a letter from the Council, advanced the matter of the men
of Newcastle to the Chancellor, who says that, upon written request to
the King's Council, order will be taken. Thos. Anderson, who solicits
the matter, is therefore decided, by experience of the costs and delays,
to give up the matter and return to England ; as others have done, wishing
that order might be taken that Englishmen's suits here might be passed
summarily as Frenchmen's suits mostly are there.
A merchant of Rowen, called John de la Rock, and a Scot of Dieppe,
last year, conveyed out of the south of England over 50 horses, and say
they have licence for like number for three years to come. Within these
three weeks, another Scot shipped 10 geldings at Dover and brought
them to Boulogne. He says he has licence to convey over that number as
often as he list during the next year. Writes this as he is ,told that one
with horses was lately stayed at Calais, and his horses forfeited.
The Bishop of Rome's ambassador, in a long conference yesterday with
the Chancellor, urged peace with the Emperor upon, the same terms as
Secretary Hardingel did before Christmas, viz., the marriage of the
Emperor with the King's daughter, and of Orleans with the Emperor's
daughter. The Queen of Hungary has sent the French king, through his
Queen, a present of two wild boars. The King thanked the Queen, his
wife, saying he knew " he had not had them but for her." The
Chancellor of Alencon is coming home out of Almayn. The Queen of
Navarre is gone to Orleans to meet her husband.
The bruit is that ambassadors from the Sophy have been with the
Emperor. The Emperor's ambassador says it is but a slander of the
Frenchmen, and that the truth is, a Venetian and two Persians, who
pretended to be all Persians, came lately to the Emperor with a commission
under the Sophy's seal, which was found to be counterfeit, and the
Emperor dismissed them with a "sharp taunt" and 50 ducats apiece.
Thinks Henry will know the truth from his ambassadors there.

Repaired to Limerick, 15 Feb., and there continued Parliament to
the 10th (sic) inst., whereunto came Obrien, McWiLliam, and other Irish
captains. Passed such acts as the King required to be passed, and took
" tollerance " with the Obriens, as appears by a schedule enclosed. Explain
why they have granted so much to the Obriens, as done in return for1 the
release of lands called Onnaghe and certain " black rent," which the
Obriens had on this side the Shenon, which were an excuse for them to
waste all the country between Lymerike and Cassell, which is 24 miles
or more.
In answer to the King's letter, requiring that such as submit should
grant some large rent or subsidy, or else some portion of their lands!,
explain that the country is so destitute of money, and the people so
ignorant, that they would rather provide galloglas that would cost them
407. or 50?. in victuals than pay 51. rent, and lands taken of them would
cost more than their value to keep. Such as were bound by the
late lord Leonard, by indentures, to bear rent an,d
galloglas, say they were compelled to make the indentures,
and cannot bear so great a burden. Give particulars of such
yearly subsidies as they have obtained promise of, viz., out of the
counties of Limerick, 20 mks. ; Tipperary, 60 m. ; Kilkenny, 40?. Irish ;
Waterford, 20?. st. ; out of Onaughe, 10?. st. ; from McWilliam, 10?. ; and
from McYbrynarie, Tirlogh McYbriens, Okennydie, McEgge, Omulrian,
and Odwyre, small rents and promise of galloglas. It is as much as they
can bear, and grows partly by the putting of the Obriens over Shenon.
The Obriens have the greatest power in the West, and, but for the example
of Oneil, Obrien would not have submitted.
Go now to peruse the Kevanaghes, Oohonor, the Omores, and Oraylie.
There is lack of a learned man to administer justice about Limerick. Mr.
Sentlowe, seneschal of Wexford, is going over to declare himself of certain
malicious indictments of murder and felony, for which he has stood to his
trial here and been honestly acquitted. Caterlaghe Castle, 31 March, 33

Has just received letters from the Emperor, with two for Chapuys,
which she encloses. Sends full powers accordingly (ponding the arrival
of powers from the Emperor, which are on their way by Italy) to negociate
with the King's ministers for an alliance; which powers he may exhibit
when he thinks convenient, but not give a copy of them without orders
from the Emperor. Sends credentials instead of instructions, for she
could not give fuller ones than those in the Emperor's second letter to
him (No. 171), and he may assure the King of her continual desire to
promote a friendship which has been much more constant than that of
some of England's neighbours, and which is now more necessary than ever
when Christendom is so disturbed'. If the King of England complain of
the recent restrictions of trade with the Low Countries (from which, how-
ever, the Flemings suffer more than the English), he may say that she
proposes to prevent further alterations by a fresh treaty of commerce,
which will give the English greater privileges in the Low Countries than
she ever thought of claiming for the Flemings in England. If the King
speak of confirmation of old treaties with the Low Countries, he shall
enquire which treaties, in order to let the Queen know, and say she will
have no objection to confirm any of them but the treaty of 1506, which
would be the utter ruin of Flanders. The others, especially that of 1520,
which is only a confirmation of previous ones, might be observed for a
time, if the proposed alliance turn out profitable, if the King's ministers
would only forbear .their constant attacks upon that treaty. Brussels,

Have been together, according to his commandment, and considered
the letter sent from Sir Thos. Wharton; which contains two points, (1)
a matter touching John Heron, and (2) an overture touching the King of
Scots.
As to the first, considering that the accusation rests on one person, a
thief whose father has been punished by the Carnabyes, and considering
the malice between, the Carnabyes and Heron, and favour between the
Carnabyes and Wharton, it may be that Carleton, being brother to one

of the outlaws for Roger Fenwyk's death, has thrown out this bone to
please the Warden* and procure restitution of the outlaw. Think, there-
fore, that Heron should not be sent for yet ; for, supposing him guilty, if
Dod should be taken, he would think his treason discovered, and fly and
put all rules in danger of revolt, as Tyvidale heretofore did ; and, supposing
him not guilty, if he were sent for and troubled, he could never serve after,
and it .would be hard to find a man to take charge of his rules. A letter
should be written to Wharton secretly to investigate the matter, and a
like letter to the ambassadors of Scotland "that were late here," from
two or three of the Council, requiring them, upon their own sayings here
of the matter of Halton, to advertise the truth. As to his being adver-
tised1 " from above, that in case such a thing were attempted, war should
follow"; it is impossible, since there was no such determination. If he
spake so, it may have been upon the letters sent to him and others from
York, whereby he hoped that such matter would follow, and to encourage
the other to proceed in his device against his enemy. This Wharton
should also investigate.
The second matter touching, as it does, the taking of a king in his own
realm, by subjects of his uncle, " not being in enmity with him, but resting
upon his answer and the sending of commissioners," is of such importance
that they would not dare to discuss it without express command. Find
in it many difficulties. First, the castle to which he resorts is
(blank) miles within Scotland. The country between it and England
is so well inhabited that the conveying of men to the place where he
should be intercepted would be discovered. Boon Frese, one of the best
towns in Scotland, is in that quarter, and the country so inhabited that it
would be hard to bring him thence alive. Then, if discovered, what slander
and deadly feud would ensue! Likewise what slander if the "party"
should be apprehended or the King slain ! Cannot advise it ; and think
Wharton (who, they think, meant it well) should " surcease and make no
living creature privy to any such maftter]," unless upon some future
command from the King.

R. o. Wrote last 27 Feb. Letters from Constantinople, of 12 and 16
St. P. vm. Feb., report that Janus Bey departed thence on the 9th ; who is
esteemed to be in Ragusa, and daily expected here. The captain of the
Gulf is to accompany him hither with a strong presidye, for six Imperial
galleys lie at Brindisi to take " the said ambassador," whose " negocye "
is esteemed to be important. Captain Polin is arrived out of France,
French ambassador to the Turk, who very straitly escaped the Imperials
on the frontier, who had, shortly before, taken the secretary of the
French ambassador here, on his way to France with letters. The fame
of the Turk's preparations continues. He has gone a hunting towards
Andrinopoli and will, after St. George's day, go in the expedition of
Hungary. In Buda are 12,000 Turks. The Almains, in great fear,
have, in the late Diet of Spire, given 40,000 foot and 8,000 horse
against the Turk, and taken truce in religion for three years. The French
ambassador there left without taking leave of the Princes, who gave
him small credit, but have sent the Count Palatine into France and
written to the duke of Cleves to contribute to the charges of this war
and abstain from wars against Christian men. Friar George, bp. of
Varadin, and Statilio, bp. of Transylvania, have fled to Ferdinando, and
the Queen of Hungary and her son to Polonia, leaving the Turk all the
dominion of Hungary. A general battle between Christians and Turks
is expected this year.
In Italy both French and Imperialists raise men. The French hold
Maran with 500 foot and make raids in Ferdinando's country. Most
of the Spaniards that were at Alger are come to the defence of Naples.
The marquis of Guasto makes 8,000 men to defend Milan. The Vene-
tians furnish their fortresses and will take no part, although the Turk
and French King offer them Napoli de Malversia again, with Cremona
and other towns in Lombardy. The licence which they hope for, to
send their galleys to England as in times past, would do them great
pleasure and also be profitable to England. Wrote in favour of it on
the 24th Feb. at length. Venice, 1 April 1542.

On Friday, 31 March, at 6 p.m., received letters from the Council
instructing him to confer with the Admiral, in order that the instruc-
tions of him that was to be sent to England might be better considered.
Although the occasion is removed, because none is senjb, yet (as the
Admiral's letter, which he forwarded, shows; that on© should come
shortly) he went next day to Court. Found the Admiral was seven leagues
off, and so could not speak with him before yesterday. Details con-
versation, which he began by complaining that it would bring him into

232. PAGET to HENRY VIIL— con«.
discredit that no personage was sent, after he had written that the
King promised to send one. The Admiral said the King had been
reminded by the presence of the gentleman* who came from the Ambas-
sador that to send another now .would undo the work which the Ambas-
sador had already done; but one should be sent very shortly. Paget
then begged him to see that the person sent was well affected and fully
instructed, and enlarged upon the Admiral's influence and Henry's regard
for him, with the necessity of asking, for the marriage, only things
reasonable, and for the rest offering a reciproque (as in the Council's
letter, No. 206J. The Admiral put off his cap and with great reverence
made a long discourse of his obligation to the King. He had of himself
procured this marriage, 1st for the love he bare to Henry ; 2nd for his
love to Mons. d'Orleans, whom he loved of a child and by whom he
trusted his master should have comfort, for he doubted that ever the
Dolphin should have child; and 3rd for the singular qualities noted
to be in Henry's daughter. True, Orleans was not the greatest prince,
but Henry was a puissant and opulent prince, who could "make" him,
and whom he loved entirely. A gentleman should be sent within two
days, " for friendship, to visit his Majesty, as he, of his gentleness, visited
us in our adversity." Took these words " by the end," and said, " Why,
Mons. I'Admiral, think you the King's Majesty, my master, is in adversity,
or in such case as he must fain of necessity make Mons. d'Orleans a great
prince at his great dispense? If Monsr. d'Orleans love my master I
know he loseth not his love." "No, Mons. 1'Ambassadeur," interposed
the Admiral, "you take me amiss. Though it be true we were in
adversity, yet I know you be in none, nor need no greater friendship
than you have; for neither your master, nor king of England before
him, was ever so rich as he is at this day, nor never king had a surer
friend than he hath of the King my master, who, I am sure, will never
forsake him in no chance, whatsoever befall. And as we (thanks be
to God) be wealthy, so it is a token we think you wealthy in that we
desire to treat a marriage with you; for there is difference between a
treaty and a treaty of marriage. And as for the reasonableness or
unreasonableness of the demand, it is true that there is due in arrearage
eight or seven hundred thousand crowns, of two millions that was paid
for my master ; the remission whereof is, in this last resolution sent into
England, is (sic)\ demanded, and also the yearly hundred thousand
payable during your master's life. And as for the fifty thousand payable
after his life, because it was left him of his predecessors, the King my
master toucheth not, but is content the treaties in that part shall stand
as they stand." Paget asked him whether, as a man of reason, he would
advise his master to give his daughter such an excessive dote, 800,000
crs. in ready money and 100,000 crs. a year for so long as, by God's
grace, this should be paid. The Admiral answered that he knew it was
a great dote, but the King's liberality was greater; whereby he might
grant the pension of 100,000 crs. and they would abate somewhat of
the 800,000' crs. Said he thought it prodigality rather than liberality ;
and would advise them to ask a reasonable remission of the arrearage
and devise a recompense for the other. Further conversation, in which
each urged the other to devise something, and, talking (at the Admiral's
suggestion) not as ministers but as friends, Paget reminded him how
Milan was detained, Fregosa and Rincon " chopped up," and now the pro-
thonotary of St. Pol "sent the same way," injuries which a prince of
courage, like his master, must desire to revenge with the sword, and could

not do so without this marriage ; adding that if the practices of others broke
it off, it would touch no man so much as himself; for the Emperor's
darling was the Constable, " whose hand is the Chancellor," and if they
once came in again together he could look for no courtesy at their
hands. He seemed pleased, and said it was true that the Emperor,
whom he loved not, had lately made overtures through the Pope's nuncio
for a French ambassador to reside with him, as a proof to the world
of friendship between them, but his master would scant listen ; as to the
Chancellor, he only meddled with judicial matters; "as touching this
treaty now in hand, no creature knoweth it but I and Madame
d'Estampes and the third suspecteth it." "That is the Queen of
Navarre (quod I). So it is (quod he), who is a right English woman.
And whereas you said it touched no man so much as me, yes, it toucheth
these two no less; the one in respect of the Queen, who, if the King
and th'Emperor join, must be otherwise treated than she is now, and
th'other in respect of Navarre, for then farewell her kingdom." To
that Paget agreed and advised them then to lay their heads all three
together "and shove at this treaty." After another attempt to get
Paget to propose some device, the Admiral prayed that he might see
him again within eight days, and went his way.
Mons. de Traafes is come to this Court for assistance, and has fair
words. The 'Almain and Italian captains that follow the Court, and
hitherto have had "small countenance," are now much made of. All
captains of galleys are paid their pensions. The Spaniards that came
from Algiers to Sardinia are sent, some to Naples and some to Piedmont,
so that, apparently, the Emperor minds not to return to Algiers this
summer. The Cardinal of Scotland has been three 'days at Court, and
had conference with the Admiral, being ready (it is thought) to be
dispatched into Scotland. The Diet in Almain ended with the advance
of 40,000 foot and 8,000 horse for the recovery of Hungary. The duke
of Cleves refused to contribute without the Emperor's assurance to
make no war upon him for twenty years. In Avignon five Frenchmen
have been "roundly cast on the cordes" and fined, for wearing weapons
within the town ; which is grievously taken here, and the Admiral
speaks stoutly against the bishop of Rome. Paris, 3 April, 6 p.m.

235. MAEILLAC to FRANCIS I.
Two days ago received the letters, instructions and copies of
treaties sent by his cousin, and would already have been with the
deputies, but they are very busy about the end of the Parliament, it
remaining only to draw up in form of enactment what has been deter-
mined, which will be done in two or three days. After that two or
three meetings will show what to expect and it is likely that they
will agree to what Francis demands, unless they are altogether demented.
Meanwhile, there are some occurrences which he thinks he ought
to .write. Two or three days ago, the King's ships of war, both great
and small, were launched, and are being prepared for sea; as they were
last year, except that last year the preparation was complete at this
season where now it is scarcely begun. It is not yet known whether
these ships need repair, or whether this is done to impress Francis and
the Emperor, or whether they have some design which is kept secret
until the equipment is finished at the end of May. Although it is
unlikely that they should innovate anything against their neighbours
unless they see their great advantage, still, other considerations make
people muse, viz., that besides ,the general tax put upon Englishmen
and strangers, of which Marillap ( wrote, this King is borrowing from
300 of the greatest of his realm, ecclesiastic and temporal, among whom
the dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk are each assessed at 6,000 crs. and
others according to their power, so that the whole will exceed 300,000
crs. Can see no pretext for this extortion unless it be war or the
marriage of the King's daughter, considering the great accumulation of
money he has from the spoil of the abbeys, the confiscation of the goods of
so many lords for treason, the long time he has been ex3mpt
from war and the imposition of the above mentioned
tax. The duke of Norfolk departed the day before yesterday
to refresh himself at his own house, as he has been languishing (n'a faict
[que] traisner) all 'this Lent like one very ill in body besides being
mentally worried. Some days before leaving he told Marillac to find
means to speak with the King, with whom he should advance more in
an hour than in eight days with the deputies, who are very reserved
and do not let themselves be understood so easily as the King would.
Intends accordingly to see the King as soon as he can. Marked as sent

Spanish Arrival of the bp. of London and account of his reception.
Owing to an attack of gout the Emperor could not see him immediately,
but gave him audience yesterday, Palm Sunday,* though still so feeble
that he had difficulty in reaching the hall. He expressed his master's
grief for the loss the Emperor had sustained in his late expedition to
Algiers, and his pleasure at hearing of his safe arrival in Spain, and in
every way set forth his friendship. He then went on to say that
the King, remembering what had passed between the Emperor and the
bp. of Winchester at Regensburg, and their mutual promise,
had sent him in the hope of arriving at a closer
confederacy. In saying this he mixed the sweet and the
bitter by alluding to the late differences between the Queen of Hungary
and the English deputies on trade, and the) losses his master had sus-
tained through them, adding that in spite of the King's most reasonable
demands the revocation of the edict forbidding English ships to lade
in Flemish ports had not been obtained. In support of this complaint
he drew from his pocket a Latin memorandum (copy enclosed), and then
said the King had sent him to replace the resident ambassador, whom
he wished to employ elsewhere. Thanked him for his masters good
will, &c., and said he could not give him at once a categorical answer
about the mutual promise, as the subject had only been treated between
the bp. of Winchester and Granvelle, and the latter, who had just
arrived at Barcelona, would shortly be at Court ; but he might write
at once to Henry of the Emperor's desire to meet his wishes. Sends

Wrote on the 1st. Janus Bey, the Turk's ambassador, has
arrived, but, for respect of these Pascal feasts, shall have no audience
until the llth inst. The Signory are determined to stand to their late
capitulations with the Turk, and refuse his demand which will be to
declare against the Emperor, for Milan, in the French King's favour,
who labours them by Captain Polin who goes hence, shortly, to the
Turk. Rumour of war in Italy multiplies. The King of Pole will noi
declare against the Turk. There is not such union in Almain as was
divulged ; for the League of Smalkald will first have the cause of religion
resolved. Ferdinando's subjects petition their Prince for the liberty in
religion granted in this Diet of Spire, declaring their belief that their
calamities arise from neglect of the true religion of Christ. Ferdinando
answers that he will be guided by the next Council or Diet. 700 Turks
are slain, and 7 "gambelles," laden with money for Buda, taken by
Christians. The Turks' preparations will be finished by St. George's
day. In Spain the Emperor makes men and money, and gives out that
he goes to the expedition of Alger, which seems unlikely. Piero Stroci
is returned from Rome unsuccessful, for the Bishop is all Imperial.

favor the Emperor had begun to grumble, seeing that the ten months*
agreed upon had passed and nothing was known of the Emperor, and
no answer had come on a matter of such importance, on which she had
received so solemn an embassy from England. They had also begun
to suspect Chapuys had kept back letters or not let the Emperor know.
Was, besides, made uneasy by their frequent conferences with the French
ambassador as late, as Tuesday or Wednesday last. Hears that, on the
last mentioned day, he had a, long audience with the King. Believes that if
the powers had come in time the French ambassador could have done
nothing to thwart the treaty now being negociated, but fears the powers
sent will give little satisfaction, and the English will think them only in-
tended to beguile them and spy out their intentions, since the instruc-
tions are so deficient as regards overtures to be made on our part.
Begs her to forward in haste another set of secret instructions. Will
endeavour meanwhile not to lose ground. After dining at Court to-
morrow will inform her of what he hears. London, Easter Day 1542.

12 April. 240. THE COUNCIL to PAGET.
?.,?!!!. Tne Kin& nas received his of the 3rd inst. He commands them
708. to signify what has been done since last despatch. On Tuesday last,
the Ambassador met the Commissioners, and said he had received letters
from his master, who remained constant for this marriage, and, since
his former demands were thought too great, would ask things more base,
but marvelled that, in all these conferences, they made no offer at all.
That he should have no ground to charge them with such silence,
repeated their former offer in two parts, viz., 1st, that the King would
give his daughter in marriage to the duke of Orleans, and, 2nd, that he
would give her 200,000 crs. in dote; and asked what dower would be
given in return. He made no direct answer, but desired an audience
with the King, which was granted on "tenable" (Tenebrce) Wednesday.
To the King he repeated his conference with the Commissioners, and,
asking him to take in good part what he proposed, said his master
would reduce his demand to the arrearages and the pension viagier, of
50,000 crs., leaving the pension perpetual. The King, in like manner
asking the French King and him to take his answer in good part, said
he marvelled at their demands, which appeared to be grounded rather
upon an unreasonable desire of gain than upon friendship; there was
great difference between marriage and amity, which was the ground
to produce marriage; even when the Emperor and the French King
were so great that all the world thought them one, he would not have
agreed to such a demand, and much less would he do so now, unless
he met with honest and friendly conditions ; and therefore, if they
would proceed, let them ask what was reasonable for the matter treated.
The ambassador said this would augment the state of his daughter and
Orleans. The King replied that he loved his daughter well, but himself
and his own honor more ; she was a king's daughter, as Orleans was a
king's son, and she had but one boy between her and the inheritance (if
upon contemplation of this match he so placed her), and therefore was
" another manner of piece," and not to be asked with such unreasonable
conditions. "Sir," quod he, "your Majesty offered us once largo things

by my lord of Norfolk, and were then content also to have joined with
us in the war for Millayn." The King answered that he knew not
what Norfolk offered, but he knew what he commanded him to offer;
the French had one great fault, in that they ever told what was offered
them, but never "wherefor" it was offered. With the overture to join
with them for Milan it was demanded that they should relinquish the
bp. of Rome and bind themselves, friend to friend and enemy to enemy ;
like overture was made to Pomerey for friend to friend and enemy to
enemy, and they would none of it, and now if they repented, let them
work more wisely. " Well, sir," quod the ambassador, "what shall I
write to the King my master?" "I shall," quod the King, "devise with
my Council of this matter these holydays and then I shall give you
further answer."
This Tuesday, "we, the lord Privy Seal, the bishops of Durham and
Winchester and Sir Thomas Wriothesley met the said ambassador at
Hampton Place," and gave him the King's answer, as follows: — 1. He
thanked his good brother for his affection, and was, for his part, of
as good inclination again. 2. He was sorry the purpose could not take
effect with the conditions proposed, for the demands were quite unequal
and showed rather a desire of gain than an establishment of friendship.
3. He desired his good brother to consider "at what time these cove-
nants were made, what bonds there be for the performing of them, and
what benefit he and his have taken by them." 4. That, in times past,
to attain these demands, other "manner of offers" were made at
Boulogne, Calais, and, after, by Momsr. 1' Admiral. 5. When the Emperor
invaded Province, the French King took most gratefully the forbearing
of the pension for certain months, as may be proved both by report
and writing. 6. Considering the King's long forbearance of it not-
withstanding his excessive charges in fortifying his realm and marches,
the payment of a good piece of it now would be thankfully accepted.
7. Finally, although as affectionate to his good brother as one prince
may be to another, and esteeming his daughter as beseems a good and
kind father, he cannot, with honor, condescend to these unreasonable
demands without some other reciproque than a bare marriage; and
therefore let them ask reasonably for the marriage, and for the rest
devise a reasonable reciproque.
The ambassador seemed doubtful what a reciproque meant, so they
told him that the marriage weighed not so heavy as the things he
demanded ; a reasonable part should be asked for the marriage, and the
rest paid or else some just recompense devised for it. The Commis-
sioners afterwards, as of themselves, said they noted an unfriendly
forgetfulness of things passed ; for, although greater bonds could not be
devised than were used at the conclusion of the perpetual peace and
greater grounds for thankful repayment could not be, he seemed to
make it less than ready money. Here he broke the tale, "which was
devised longer, if he would have heard the whole," by saying he " could
not abide to hear his master noted of ingratitude." Explained that it
was not his master but himself that seemed to take the debt for paper
rather than ready money; and dilated further the grounds of it. He
then expounded his meaning by reference to his master's continual wars
and " our full purse by reason of our quiet ; " and they parted friendly.
All this is to be explained to the Admiral and to the French King
or any of his Council who may speak of the matter.

13 April. 248. MARILLAC to FRANCIS I.
B- O. Since last instructions received by the bearer,* following Norfolk's
4 P3*^ counsel, between his meetings with the deputies for this marriage
he took occasion to speak with this King. As the language held to him
has .been very divers, sometimes encouraging hope and sometimes the
reverse, he writes the whole substance. To begin with the King; to
get him to declare what parti he would make to his daughter, as the
deputies had offered 200,000 cr. or 300,000 cr., and it rested with
Marillac to continue the subject, made demand in accordance with his
previous letters, save that, instead of speaking of the 50,000 cr., he
demanded some aid for the recovery of Milan, and acquittance of the
surplus due upon the treaty of 1525, in consideration of advantages
to be granted to Orleans. As, at the outset, this King said the demand
was excessive and unusual, Marillac graciously begged him to consider
that, without his altering the decisions of his Parliament and entering
further disputes with his people, the lady would be accepted if delivered
as legitimate, and that he could marry her so high with only an
acquittance of old debts most of which were left by Francis's prede-
cessors. Keminded him, finally, of his honourable offers at Doullens, by
Norfolk, and that if he meant to assist Francis to the recovery of
Milan he ought the more readily to do so for his son-in-law, and the
increase of his daughter's estate ; still, that aid was left to his discretion,
for if he knew Orleans he would certainly grant it of his own accord.
In reply he said some things which seem worthy to be weighed, as
well for respect of this alliance as for other affairs which should have
to be treated. In substance he said, after desiring that Francis would
take his frankness in good part, that he found it strange that in this
overture and alliance which tended to closer amity Francis should desire
principally to be quit of him, as if wishing rather to be discharged than
to enter into closer amity, adding that he would sooner grant what

248. MARILLAC TO FKANCIS I. — cont.
Francis required by another way, for the sole sake of friendship, than
as his daughter's dot. Besides, knowing how much fathers were accus-
tomed to give with their daughters, and that 300,000 cr. was formerly
settled for this lady's marriage with the Dauphin, then duke of Orleans,
he would have it considered that his daughter could do more for Orleans
than Orleans for her, inasmuch as she had before her only the prince
of Wales, " en si baseage qu'on peut estimer n'estre encores que rozee ( ?) "
and he himself was old and resolved not to marry again. To that
Marillac said that Orleans had likewise only one brother ; but he replied
that the Dauphin was married with hope of having children of this wife
or another; repeating twice or thrice that if he thought Orleans should
come to his brother's estate he would not hear of delivering his daughter
to him, for he wished him for a son-in-law as duke of Orleans and not
as Dauphin : the offers made by Norfolk were on condition of being
friend to friend and enemy to enemy, which Francis would never accept,
not expecting that he (Henry) would be able to aid him as much as
he is. He returned always to the same point that to demand such
great sums, and especially his life pension, only as dot seemed rather an
overture to diminish their amity than to draw it closer.
Replied that Francis could think of no better way of perpetuating
it than, by such an alliance, to vmake it pass, from the fathers to the
children. It proved his zeal for this alliance that when the Emperor's
affairs were prosperous he never sought it, and never ratified the over-
tures made by Marillac privately ("par moy en qualite de prince et
moy d'ambassadeur," qu. "par moy en qualite de privd et non
d'ambassadeur " ?) until after the Emperor's rout at Algiers. And
finally, if the demands seemed too great, although they were only for
an acquittance, he should take it that this would give the Emperor no
leisure to make himself monarch of Christendom, and the war would
be not only for the lands he detained from Francis but also for the
surety of England, against which the Emperor would turn his designs
as soon as he agreed with Francis.
The conclusion was that he would declare his resolution in a few
days. On the appointed day, which was the day before yesterday, the
deputies being assembled, Winchester, speaking for all, after the cus-
tomary prefaces of his master's affection, confirmed what the King had
said, adding that the King was sorry he could not grant what Francis
required, for his reputation would suffer if he bought the alliance so
dearly and it would be thought that the great advantage obtained, rather
than desire for closer amity, moved Francis to procure this marriage;
it should be considered that at the time of the treaty of 1525, although
they might have required reimbursements of their expenses in con-
tributing to the Emperor's war against Francis and pretended that
Francis was partly their prisoner, yet, for his deliverance, they demanded
only what was clearly due; also that a more reasonable overture for
this acquittance had formerly been made (the Admiral and the Chan-
cellor would recollect when they came to Calais) ; that Francis should
consider how his good brother had supported him by not demanding
what was due, although there had been need of it, and still would be,
to finish the fortifications now commenced ; and that if Francis would
pay* a part of this debt it would both give pleasure and be a demon-
stration of true brotherhood, which would bind Henry to aid him in
the future as in the past. After Marillac had replied as seemed best,
which would be too long to write, the lord Privy Seal began to explain
the last conception of his King, viz., that he would acquit a part of
33 HENRY VIII. 119
1542.
what was demanded, provided that a reciprocal was found for the rest,
As these words seemed obscure, and Marillac said he could not under-
stand what reciprocal they meant, unless it was that, for this acquittance,
Francis should assign sufficient revenue to Orleans and his future wife
in the quality of the appanages of the sons of France, they (the deputies)
said, as of themselves, that it would be [made] in paying the rest or
making some overture for closer amity. Could get nothing further
from them except that they said it would be well understood in Franse
what they meant.
From the language held here it may be inferred that there are some
maxims which render the English difficult about this alliance. 1. The
first is that, since the Dauphin has no issue, they fear both Crowns
may come to one King; as Norfolk said in the North at the commence-
ment of this affair that this made them resolve that the Emperor should
not have the lady. 2. They consider that Orleans may come to the
Crown of England, and therefore should be content with a less parti,
for doctors say that this young prince of Wales is not of constitution
(composition) to live long and they see that this King, whether he
re-marries or remains a widower, as he proposes, will not have other
issue. 3. They think Francis will not pass this year without making
war on the Emperor, and therefore should be content twith less, both
for need of their succour and to avoid having two enemies at once. To
obviate this, Francis might declare to their ambassador that he is
resolved not to enter war against the Emperor unless he is assured
of his good brother's aid; for the mere show of wishing to live at
peace would move them to offer more. Not to break off altogether
one of two courses must be taken, viz., either to treat at Francis's dis-
advantage or to temporise 15, 20 or 30 days on pretext of saying that
the demands are ,more than reasonable, since it is only a question of
an acquittance, or else that Francis sees no other overture that could
be made to extinguish the rest unless it be to employ it in the recovery
of Milan. They would then probably make the said overture themselves,
especially as they do not intend to grant the lady to the Emperor, and
will not disburse money when they can place her by the mere acquittance
of a debt which they never hope to recover. At the worst, if they
remain obstinate for the overture to be made by Francis, he can propose
several partis for the surplus which they will not grant as dot. They
have always grown cold as we grew hot, and when we were silent they
have resumed the subject; and, therefore, we could only gain the point
by seeming little eager for it. Marked as sent by Jehan.*

VI. i., No. 244.
Received the Emperor's letter of the 14th ult. on Easter eve.
Sent to inform the King, who, on account of the festival, delayed
au(^ence fall Monday, when he recited the contents of the first letter
and placed it afterwards in the King's hands, who was greatly pleased.
Said he had another letter of one day's later date,* and enlarged on the
contents of both. When the King wondered that Chapuys had no news
of the end of the conferences between Granvelle and the bp. of Win-
chester, Chapuys attributed it to the Algiers expedition, the meeting of
the Cortes of Castile, the Emperor's overwhelming business in the
administration of so many kingdoms, and finally the delay of Gran-
velle's arrival. Besides which the Emperor had expected that Master
Guenebet (Knyvet), who had been the bp.'s colleague, would have been com-
missioned to report home the issue of the conferences. The King seemed
satisfied for awhile, though he said there was no need of instructing

Granvelle to speak to the Pope in his favor, and said Granvelle had
treated many things at Rome disagreeable enough to him. Chapuys
assured him he had neither said nor done anything to his disadvantage,
and the King replied that he was not aware that he had, else he should
have resented it.
In conversation the King abruptly told me he suspected stratagem
in my saying that the instructions and powers to treat of his marriage
had been sent to the Queen of Hungary by the Mediterranean, and that
the object was to delay and spy out his own intentions; that he has
been deceived many a time both by the Emperor and by the French,
and those who treated with him now must proceed without dissimula-
tion. Answered that the voyage by the Levant (sic) was more conve-
nient as the instructions must be revised by Granvelle, who was in Italy,
and inspected by the Regent and Council in Flanders, and was even the
shorter at this season ; that his suspicions of the Queen of Hungary were
unfounded, and that never was the Emperor more straightforward. More-
over, as the mutual distrust a,bout France had disappeared, begged him
to speak confidentially, as if Chapuys were his subject, and Chapuys would
not only write home what he pleased, as if the ,idea originated with him-
self, but would renounce the privileges of an ambassador and submit
to punishment if he abused his trust. Saw the King's face expand at
this and his eyes glitter. Added that there was no occasion to wait for
further powers, &c.
Is encouraged by the lord Privy Seal, who understands the King's
temper better than any man in England and Secretary Waist \(sic, for
Wriothesley) — both much attached to the Emperor — to believe it will
not be difficult to persuade the King to take the affair in hand, and that
he had half decided to do so when he despatched the bp. of Winchester
to the Emperor. The King at first did not answer his peroration, but
remained thoughtful, sighing frequently, as he had done during
Chapuys's speech. At last he wondered there was no news from Spain,
and when Chapuys told him of the grant of the Cortes, said he believed
it was conditional on the Emperor not leaving Spain, for which reason
he was negociating a marriage with a princess of Portugal. He also
said the Emperor might have fought the Turk to greater advantage last
year, as he had been advised by the English ambassador. Gives his
own answer, vindicating the Emperor's policy at some length. The King
then asked what other news he had. Related what had come from
Italy, to see how far he was leaning to France, and said he had
letters from Milan, declaring that the people were on friendly terms
with the French in Piedmont, who bragged that Henry
was offering them the hand of the Princess his daughter
and requesting Francis for an. interview. The King started,
and said, "They are very much mistaken. It is the King of France
who urges me to marry his daughter, and offers to come to see me at
Calais when the contract has been concluded." Replied that no doubt
the French King would promise anything, and would like also to come
to Calais with great force to drive him out of it. Reminded him, also,
of the words of the bp. of Tarbes that France would never have sought
alliance by marriage with Savoy except to encroach upon the duchy.
Spoke then of the Diet of Spires, saying that he had a letter from Ferd-
inand charging him to tell the King that he (Ferdinand) had no doubt
Henry would assist against the Turk. The King answered nothing, but
seemed to assent.
After an hour and a half's conversation the King said he heard that
Charles was soliciting the friendship of King Francis through the Pope's
mediation. Said he knew nothing of that, but, even if it were true, it

would be best to begin treating at once in London. "Very well," said
the King, " I shall now read the letters you have brought from the Queen
Regent, and when I have laid them before the Council you shall have
an answer." Soon after leaving, received a message from the King to
communicate what he Jiad said to the Privy Councillors, and did so,
offering every assistance in sending messengers to the Emperor, and to
go himself if necessary. The Council showed great satisfaction at this.
Next day, Tuesday, they sent to invite Chapuys to dinner next day,
desiring him to bring his powers and other papers with him. Went
therefore to Greenwich again on Wednesday, but when about to exhibit
his power found his secretary had taken another document instead. The
Council, however, accepted his explanation, and so did the King when
told of it. Being asked to proceed, suggested that the King might
appoint one or two to negociate with him; on which the lord Privy
Seal and Wriothesley went to the King, who quite approved, but as
Suffolk, the Privy Seal, Winchester and Wriothesley were much engaged
he deputed the Admiral, the bps. of Durham and Westminster and
Secretary Sadler to call and dine with him next day (Thursday). Ex-
hibited his powers to them accordingly after dinner, and being asked
if he had any overtures to propose said he had no new declaration to
make, but the King must have sufficiently thought over the subject
when he despatched Winchester,* and on receipt of instructions from the
Emperor he would speak freely. Meanwhile the King, if he wished to
avoid delay, could make known part of his intentions; which being
unknown, his instructions had been framed, as it were at random. For
his own part could only go back to the basis of the four articles already
proposed; of which the two first, concerning the King's reconciliation
with Rome and the Princess's legitimation might remain as they were
till further instructions ; as to the 3rd for aid against the Turk, it was a
most appropriate time to discuss it, as the King had expressed his
willingness ; and as to the 4th about the French, the Emperor had made
a truce with them, so the case was altered. f On the deputies asking
how long that truce would last, said he believed the Emperor might, if
he pleased, bring on a rupture at once, for the French would break it as
soon as they found it convenient.
Yesterday, Saturday the 15th, the deputies came again, bringing the
Emperor's letter of the 5th inst.J Informed them of part of the contents
and was particular in praising the honesty of Master Guennebet, with
whom, for some reason, the King does not seem to be pleased just now.
They then said the King thanked Chapuys for his good will and, although
he had no sufficient powers, was unwilling to suspend the negociations.
He therefore intimated to him ( 1) that as to confirmation of past treaties,
it was not needful ; indeed he did not consider those old treaties valid,
for, while they had been scrupulously kept on his side, the Emperor
had broken them by the edict against English vessels lading goods in
Flanders, of which the deputies urged him to obtain the repeal, de-
nouncing it with all the vehemence of the note presented by the bp.
of London, and arguing that it could not proceed from the Emperor
as the like had not been done in Spain : (2) that, as confirmation of old
treaties was unnecessary, the King wished to hear overtures from
Chapuys if he was free to make any, adding that as to the four articles,
* In November, 1540.
t These four points were proposed by Chapuys in February, 1536, at the out-
set of the long negociation with the Emperor during his war with France, which ended
with the truce of Nice, in June, 1538. See Vol. X., Nos. 351 (p. 133), 575,
} No. 239. See note at end1.

he was wise in not pressing the first two, and for the two others they
might discuss them as long as they pleased, provided it was understood
that he was now on friendly terms with every reigning Sovereign,
especially King Francis and the King of Scotland, and if he were to
enter into a league against the former, he should require compensation
for the loss of his annual pensions from France. As to the other point,
about the Turk, he. could not touch upon it till the principal one was
settled. Answered, as to the edict, that they were not justified in again
urging its revocation, as they had not been able to answer Chapuys's
arguments given in writing last summer, and showed that their own
statutes were a breach of the treaties, and had obliged many of the
Emperor's subjects to quit England, and those who remained to take
out letters of naturalisation at excessive cost, besides compelling them
to take a strange oath of fealty to the King. Moreover, they had for-
bidden the exportation of almost every commodity, and they ought to
be very grateful to the Emperor, then absent from Spain, that he had
not resorted to retaliatory measures, as Chapuys believed he would
be obliged to do in the end, even if it were only to increase the Spanish
navy and repair the losses sustained at Algiers. At this the deputies
stood amazed and silent.
As to France, Chapuys said there was no talk of an offensive league,
so there was no need of talking about compensation for non-payment
of pensions, but by the treaty of Cambray the King was obliged in
case of a defensive war to assist the Emperor at his own cost. And,
even if an offensive league were in question, the Emperor was not
responsible for the French debt, which the King knew quite well that
the French will never pay. Yet, if an offensive league were treated,
Chapuys would venture to say, though he had no such charge, that the
Emperor would from that time take upon him the charge of Henry's
indemnity, provided nothing was still due for arrears; and he might
also say that the King ought, in conscience, years ago, to have assisted
the Emperor, as the French had made war with his money and he had
not attempted to recover his due. As the French are not making such
great offers here as the English pretend, thought it well to be cooler
as he went on, and said if they wished to know the Emperor's intentions
they must wait till Chapuys received instructions, which he was afraid
Granvelle would not be. able to despatch very soon, as he was on his way
to the Emperor's Court when Chapuys applied for them; but this
mattered little as the bp. of London had a mandate from the King on
the same subject.
Thinks it will be difficult for the Emperor to bring the King to a
treaty except on terms very advantageous to himself, and then it might
do more harm than good. Believes he will remain neuter. Does not
think the mission of Mons. de Courrieres will do any good till the affair
here is in good train. Has written to Secretary Bave and sent him the
names of Privy Councillors here, to whom letters should be addressed
by the Queen Regent. The French ambassador called on Tuesday on
the lord Privy Seal and next day on the King, with whom he had a
pretty long audience, just when the most friendly of the Privy Coun-
cillors were complaining of not hearing from the Imperial Court. The
French ambassador had determined to go! to Court on Easter Monday,
but put it off, knowing that Chapuys was going, and next day, hearing
that the lord Privy Seal and two or three more Councillors had come
to town he called on them. He then wrote a despatch, the contents
of which his man reported to Chapuys, speaking of the good reception
Chapuys had met with, who had gone to Court on business touching
124

251. CHAPUYS to CHARLES V. — <cont.
Flanders, especially the prohibition; for Chapuys had purposely spread
the rumour and intimated it to a person employed by the French ( ambas-
sador as a spy upon him. He had also written home that the English
were the strangest people, they urged matters with so much warmth
and then afterwards cooled, but if they made themselves cold to him
they would find him frozen. He is commissioned to demand for the
Princess 500,000 ducats of dower and the extinction of all pensions,
but has not yet dared to make his demand for fear of irritating these
people. It is very provoking, he writes, that Norfolk has now retired to
his house in the country without much likelihood of his returning to
Court unless Parliament re-assembles, and he has to negociate with the
Privy Seal, whose name is Feu Vuillem (called Faulx Villain by the
ambassador) of whom he has circulated a report that Norfolk had said,
" See this little villain ; he wants already to engross everything and do
like Cromwell, but in the end he will pay for all."
Will do his best to prevent the King taking Anne of Cleves again;
but as yet there is no appearance of it. Indeed, except that he frequents
ladies' company for mirth, (as a man nurtured among them, he seems not to
think of a new marriage. He has been low-spirited ever since he heard
of the late Queen's misconduct. Anne has recovered from her tertian
fever, but the Princess suffers still from palpitation of the heart. It
has been mooted in this Parliament for lords and rich gentlemen,
exclusive of Churchmen, to keep horses each according to his means.
The King has forborne from pressing the demand for another aid, but
is getting a loan which will bring in a great sum. First on the list are
the two dukes .(Norfolk and Suffolk) 6,000 ducats each, though both are
known to be poor; then the Chancellor and lord Privy Seal 4,000£.
each, the lord High Admiral 3,050£., &c. The collector pretends that
it is to help the Emperor against the Turk. Count Louis (sic) K-angone
has been presented by this King with a large gilt cup and 400 ducats.
Some who have talked with him think he came more to see the King and
country than to complain of the Pope, as he has done, for having deprived
him of certain castles in the Parmegiano belonging to his late wife.

Understands how he is prevented from fulfilling the charge

objecting to his powers from her as insufficient. Cannot add, however,
anything to the instructions in her letter of the 31 March, till she hears
from Spain. Chapuys must temporise; he will not require to wait
long, as Granvelle has already left Piedmont for the Emperor's Court.
He may mention this as an excuse; also the fact of a Spanish courier
* So in Spanish Calendar, but there is some mistake, perhaps of Cha.puys himself.

despatched to Piedmont with letters for the Emperor's lord Privy Seal
having been arrested in France, and that another who went to Italy
by sea found on landing at Genoa that the lord Privy Seal had already
sailed for Spain, so thit the letters were returned by the Imperial
ambassador there.
Hears, however, that in the last Parliament it was determined to
forbid export of valuable woollen cloths unless prepared, dyed and
dressed, which will be to the damage of the merchants of these Low
Countries, and will probably be a check to the proposed closer alliance.
Chapuys must find out about this, and if he find it advisable make

22 April. 261. MAEILLAC to FRANCIS I.
R O. OD Monday next, 24th inst., this being Saturday, this King leaves
Kaulek, 409. Greenwich, where he has passed these holydays, for Dover, to see the
(Abstract.) ramparts and fortifications made on the sea side opposite France. There
is a rumour that he will cross secretly to Calais to see the fortresses, and
how far the work at Guynes is advanced. He himself says he goes only
to Dover, and will return immediately, and his ministers confirm this;
yet others, who have often truly informed Marillac, and are in a position
to know, say the contrary, and the greatest sign of it is that three of
the King's ships, prepared since these holydays, have sailed hence to the
mouth of the River, where they will be in a better position to go where
the King is, and also other vessels in which the King is accustomed to
embark are being prepared in all diligence, so that in eight or ten days
they will be equipped. There is jio other appearance of this passage,
which is difficult to believe, since only the people of the Court are ordered
to hold themselves ready, and the King takes no greater company than
if he went on progress. Felt bound, however, to write of it, and to
warn Marechal Dubiez to look to the affairs of his frontier, especially the
surety of Ardre, where, according to his last letters, he now is. Will
keep as near this King as he can, and desires to know whether to cross
the sea, if the King does so, or stay here to report what is done, for if he
crossed no one would remain here to send news, which for the present
is most necessary, since nothing can be done there to Francis's pre-
judice that does not originate here.
Madame Marie is dangerously ill of a strange fever since Easter, and
takes such weakness at times that she remains as though dead. The
Prince of Wales is also unwell, but not so severely. There is nothing
to add save that they continue to execute the loan of which Marillac
wrote, which is still greater than was said, for, instead of to three
hundred, it is extended to all who are supposed to have money. Many
think this indicates some design of war.

22 April. 263. PAGET to HENRY YIIL
Bui-net ^n ^e ^h ins*-> received letters from the Council, of the con-
VI., 253. ferences which the King and the said Council have had with the French
ambassador. Details conversation (mostly verbatim) with the Admiral
yesterday, being the first opportunity of speaking with him, in which
Paget said that, albeit the ambassador in England, doubtless, reported
the progress of treating there, yet, the King had such an opinion of him
and such affection for him that he commanded Paget to tell him all the
communication last had with the ambassador. Rising from his seat and
making great, and humble reverence, he declared his thanks. Paget then
declared, word by word as in the said letter, the communication with the
Council at the first congress, the "kingly and philosophical conference"
with the King, the seven points uttered by the Council at their last
assembly, and the epilogue of all together, pronounced by the Council
as of themselves. He heard all (not without twenty sighs and casting
up his eyes) and, .giving a ,great sigh, replied that God knew how he
travailed for the amity between their masters, and almost all the world
knew he was an English Frenchman, who, next his master, esteemed the
King's finger more than any other prince's body and would give all h«i
had that this matter were through, for his master would not live alone,
and yet would accept no other friendship until the King denied him; he
knew the Princes would continue friends according to their league with-
out this matter, but marriage was a bond for posterity and the benefit
of this was inexpressible; but, alas! what was 200,000 crs. to give with
so great a King's daughter to Mons. Dorleauns? Four hundred, five
hundred, thousand was nothing to the King, and fortune had great things
in store for Mons. Dorleauns ; his master would be grieved when he heard
of this base offer (and he1 marvelled they had not yet heard from the
Ambassador), and, to speak plainly, they might have with the daughter
of Portugal 400,000 ducats, and the interest since her father's death,
which would be as much more; they were told at the outset that the
man should desire the woman, but, when they did desire her, nothing was
offered with her, for what was 200,000 crs.? Paget , answered that he
was authorised to say no more than he had done; but, if they might
talk together as friends, he would say that, although at home he was no
man of great place, he had been of Court, and accustomed to talk of
matters he had little to do in, and had often heard say that his master's
affection for the French King was such that, for his sake, he had refused
inestimable offers, and that neither the manner of their truce with the
Emperor, nor their strangeness at the Emperor's being here, "nor Pole's
passage, nor the conveying of Brauncester, nor the retaining of the hosier
that called himself Blancherose, nor Cowbridsf"", nor nothing else" could
alienate his affection; if they had set forth this marriage for love, was
not 200,000 crs. a fair offer? Granted that Mons. Dorleauns was of great
courage, it was his father's part to maintain it and not the King's, who
had a son of his own and considered his daughter as reason required;
had King Louis more with one sister than 300,000 crs., or the King of
Scots more with another than 100,000 crs. ? Doubtless, they could obtain
142 34 HENRY VIII.
1542.
263. PAGET to HENRY VIII.— cont.
anything reasonable; but in the opposite case would they give 800,000
crs., and discharge 100,000 crs. a year for the marriage of their daughter?
The Admiral replied that he would; for the 800,000 crs. was nothing,
and, as for the pension, the equivalent would be that they should be
friends for mutual defence. " Par Notre Dame," said Paget, " you shall
not be mine auditor"; and showed that the 800,000 crs., which he
counted nothing should rather be considered worth 1,000,000,
when it was lent at such need, and to a good debtor,
who, although bold of a long respite with his friend, would doubtless
pay it. He said he doubted not but the Princes would observe their
treaties ; he did not know what to say. " Marry !" said Paget, " do that
that I have said heretofore; ask reasonably for the dote, and make a
reciproque for the rest if you would be eased of it ; mark this, for it is to
be embraced, and a great marriage to Mons. Dorleauns." He said the
dote offered was nothing, and if he were as King Louis or the King of
Scots, it would be more honor to him to take her in her kirtle than, being
Mons. Dorleauns, to take her with 800,000 crs. ; and he knew not what
was meant by that reciproque. Explained that a reciproque was some-
thing given as an equivalent for another, here was son for daughter,
dowry for dote, and, if they would be discharged of 600,000 crs.
and the pension, let them devise a reciproque. He said it was
nothing to the King to let pass 800,000 crs., and they could
not pay it. Replied that, if some were paid in hand, the
rest would be respited. The Admiral said that, as for the pension, there
should be a dowry here meet for it. Told him his " relative " agreed " with
a wrong antecedent;" the King was the antecedent, and the reciproque
must be to him, not to Mons. Dorleauns. He answered, nay, it was to
the King's daughter ; the Queen of Navarre's daughter was a greater
marriage and, as for the 800,000 crs., if he were rich he would pay a great
part of it himself "ere it should stick." Paget said he knew not what
the Queen of Navarre's daughter was, but a marriage upon such con-
ditions was unheard of.
After a pause, the Admiral said that, all night, since he heard that
Paget wished to speak with him, he had thought of this matter, and
wished that, if it took no effect, it had never been spoken of, and now he
had just thought of the overture the King once made him of the marriage
of Lady Elizabeth, with recompense for the perpetual pension upon Mons.
de Vendome's lands and the pension viager converted " to a state." " With-
out any other recompense ? (quod I). Yes (quod he) we should have been
enemies to enemies and left the Bishop of Rome." Reminded him that
then there was no arrearage ; and, after another pause, he said he would
tell his fancy if Paget would promise to keep it secret, for perhaps neither
party would like it, viz., that the arrearages should be remitted for the
marriage, and that they should) enter war together, and, of what was
conquered by common expense, assign a recompense for the pension viager,
and letting the perpetual pension be supplied as the King (Henry) devised.
Paget asked why they should fight for what they had already ; his master
could purchase more land another way than that might cost him, and he
had no quarrel. He said .that was true, but they would be the authors
and, having covenanted enemy to enemy, the King would join. Paget
said that matter was too (great for his capacity ; apparently they desired
a great commodity and were loth to offer for it, but he would advise them
to ask and offer reasonably, and go roundly to work before others did so.
He replied, yea ; he knew the Emperor practised with England as he did
with them, and that the bishop of London brought him three fair palfreys,
34 HENRY VIII, 143
1542.
as a present from the King; he thought the Emperor practised only to
dissever them, for he would not join the King unless the King returned
to the Pope; for so the Nuncio told the Chancellor and the Chancellor
the , Queen of Navarre, who, thereupon, told him (the Chancellor) he was
ill enough before, but now he had gotten the mark of the Beast (he had
lately been made priest) he was worse and worse. He then asked whether
Paget knew the Emperor's offers and demands. Replied, No (" and yet
indeed I did come by the knowledge of them within 24 hours before").
He said the Emperor offered to make the duke of Orleans king of Naples,
with the signory of Flanders, and demanded a renunciation of the title of
Milan and Navarre and restitution of Piedmont and Savoy ; but his master
would none of it, for he thought that, upon the next war, the Emperor
would send the Duke to his father, une baton blanche. Paget said
(smiling) he heard the duke of Cleves also laboured to have his wife home.
"Why! quoth he, hear you anything?" Answered that he heard that
the Emperor promised the duke of Cleves that, to have Gueldres quietly,
he and his wife should renounce the title of Navarre (which indeed he
never heard, but it came into his head and the speaking of it " strake th'
Admiral into a great dumpe "). After pausing a great while he said she
was too young and sickly to go out of this country, and Mons. de Cleves
must first, by doing some good service, prove himself to be for the King.
Said that, seeing the world so full of practises, " it is good dealing with
them that mean plainly." He agreed, and said he knew the Emperor
practised to accord the King with ,the Pope at the Pope's suit. Paget
answered that he could not blame the Emperor for seeking the King's
friendship, who was well kn,own to be a friendly friend ; but, as for the
bp. of Rome, it would be hard for him to recover the King's friendship,
" for virtue and vice cannot stand together in one predicament." " Call
you him vice ? quod he, he is the very Devil " ; he trusted to see his con-
fusion, and had begun to pick him, and hoped ere long to see his master
convert all the abbeys in his realm to his lay gentlemen, and have a
patriarch in France; and he thought the Bishop suspected this, for his
legate in Almain now offers a Council at Mantua, Verona or Cambray.
Paget said the Bishop would as lief be hanged as have a general Council ;
but he would fain see them begin. He replied that everything must have a
time; once there was no greater champion for the Pope than Paget's
master ; and, he thought, if the two Kings might speak together it would
assist much, but, perhaps, some of Henry's Council moved him more for
the Emperor's friendship, which was not to be compared to that of Franco,
for when the Emperor died some Almain might be Emperor, and Spain
was ai small thing alone ; Flanders would go with France and England, and
as for Italy, who should be master there? Besides, the Emperor cared not
who should sink so as he might satisfy his insatiable desire to reign ; had
he not suffered his brethren in law, the kings of Hungary and Denmark,
to perish? Now that he was low, they should take him before he could
take breath. Paget replied that, if they thought this matter so necessary,
they should take a direct way to compass it, and if they had anything
in their stomachs let them utter it, through their ambassador, not coldly
but frankly ; and in an honest cause God would help them. The Admiral
said he marvelled that they heard not from their ambassador. Pagefc
suggested that he might be til, or his man sick by the way. The Admiral
asked when he was sending into England. Replied he had no great
matters to write, but must send in a day or two, for he had appointed
his bank at Paris and must now, from what he heard, have it changed to
Lyons. He asked Paget to forward a letter to the Ambassador and, on
taking leave, Paget asked if the ambassador were come out of
144 34 HENRY VIII.
1542.
263. PAQET to HENRY VIII.— cont.
for aid against the Turk. He said his master was not so unwise as to
aid the Emperor and king Ferdinand to defend Hungary, their private
dominion, while they kept his state from him, but if it were to defend
Ahnain he would help ; and asked what aid the King was giving. Paget
answered that he did not know if he had yet been asked.
The above is a true report of all that passed but, when he remembers
how the sayings of his predecessors, ambasssadors here, have been mis-
reported, he feels the disadvantage of his inexperience when matched with
such an old player. Apparently the Admiral is " none Imperial, and an
utter enemy to Rome"; and yet he promised twice that one should be
sent over, and none is yet sent, a,nd also said no man knew of this last
treaty but he and Madame d'Estampes, adding yesterday the Queen of
Navarre, and yet Paget knew the demands the ambassador made by other
means than, by the King's signification.
As for occurrents, the Emperor's grand esquire passed Paris, eight
days' ago, for Flanders, and came not to Court. It is said that the
Emperor practises for the marriage of the Lady Mary, and the rather
because the bp. of London is sent ambassador there, who is noted Im-
perial, and that the marriage between France and England is dashed.
Certain Lyons merchants, Mons. de Langey partner .with them, have
sentence, for 70,000 crs.? against the state of Florence, " and reprisals out
for execution." Salviati and Antenori, Florentines, having their houses
in Lyons, are fled to Bresse in the Emperor's dominion. The Florentines
had moved their case to all the universities and courts of Italy, and, think-
ing it out of doubt, offered to put it to the judgment of France ; but now
they repent. The case is briefly that the State of Florence bought, of
merchants of Lyons, certain wheat to be delivered at Florence before a cer-
tain day: the wheat arrived eight days late, when the Florentines had
provided themselves otherwise. Error is found in the Admiral's process,
and the sentence is revoked. Jannes Bey, sometime a Christian, is
coming in embassy from the Turk to Venice, if not intercepted by the
Emperor, who lays wait for him in Ragusa. The Venetians fear hig
coming is to demand passage through their country or to be enemies to
enemies, or else "redeem the same" with money. Signor Horacio, being
heretofore lodged in the Court, is here lodged four leagues off, and yet
the King lies in a great town. The Nuncio's secretary complained to the
Admiral, who answered, in choler, "He had one given him and he
refused it: we cannot give him here a palace, as though he were at
Paris." Sends another " carte " of Algiere with the Emperor's siege before
it. It varies from the one he sent before, which was sent to the French
king, and this to the duke of Ferrare. Sends also a little book, printed
in Paris, of the conclusion of the Diet in Almayn against the Turk;
Henry will know whether it is true or not. Chabliz in Bourgoyn, 19 April.
Signed.
P.S. — Had this letter ready, but, as the Admiral's letter to be conveyed
into England came not, he sent to Court, 4 long leagues hence to know
the Admiral's mind therein ; who sent back the enclosed letter, defaced
as it is, " upon motion whereof " Paget was at the Admiral's lodging by
ei^ht next morning. He was out, but Paget there received a letter from
Henry's Privy Council. Anon came the Admiral and Mons. de Longue-
valle, governor to the duke of Orleans, and, with more solemnity1 than
usual, took him to the church, to pass the time (as they said) until the
King were up. There Longuevalle left them, and the Admiral apologised
for giving Paget such trouble, saying he was at his wits' end, and could
not sleep for this matter ; their ambassador wrote as Paget had declared,
34 HENRY VIII. 145
1542.
and his master marvelled that the King offered, with a daughter, to his
son aj sum which some of his gentlemen would not accept; "the Pope
offered to Mons. de Guyse's son, with his niece, 200,000 crs., and he
refused it"; now some of the Council were saying to him (the Admiral)
' We told you whereto this matter would com©.' But nothing could alter
affection, and, seeing the Pope's and the Emperor's falsities, he begged
that they might "grow to some friendly point." Further conversation,
in which Paget urged the necessity of embracing the King's friendship
while it might be had, and the Admiral hinted that, with regard to the
pensions, there were treaties which had not been kept. The King then
sent for the Admiral, who promised to return after dinner and prayed
Paget to wait. " Mons. 1'Admiral (quod I in his ear) if you talk with the
King your master of ,this matter, deduce him to some conformity. I
speak for the affection I bear unto you, for I may say to you there be
others that woo harder than you, and yet, hitherto, we have not given
like ear; but, you know, a man may drop water so long upon a stone
that it may soak in."
Mons. Longevale then took Paget to Mons. d'Orleans' lodgings, where
he was highly feasted. About two o'clock the Admiral sent for him, and
they had a long conversation (given verbatim) in which Paget moved the
Admiral to suggest a reciproque, who finally suggested a joint war against
the Emperor, naming the forces each side should supply. Paget said he
knew no quarrel his master had with the Emperor. " God's blood !" said
the Admiral, "Why say you so? Doth he not owe your master money?
Hath he not broken his leagues with him in 600 points? Did he not
provoke us, and the Pope also, to join for the taking of your realm from
you in prey for disobedience, and hath he not caused even now the Pope
to offer a Council at Mantua, Verona, Cambray, or Metz (which place he
added now last), ,the chief cause whereof is to pick you? A pestilence
take him, false dissembler, quoth he, -saving my duty to the majesty of a
King; if he had you at such an advantage. as you may now hava him,
you should well know it at his hand." And here the Admiral spoke at
large against the bp. ,of Rome and the Emperor, and of the opportunity
this year to begin the war. Paget said these matters were too high for
him, and that they should "open the bottom of their stomachs" to the
King direct, through their ambassador; whereupon the Admiral told him
to write it, and he would write to the ambassador in confirmation, but po
time should be lost.
Begs pardon if he has made any fault in the above dealing. Chabliz,

R. O. Wrote last, on the 8th, of the arrival of Janus Bey, the Turk's
St ?i4Vm *' ambassador, who has been greatly honoured. In his first audience he
declared his Prince's benevolence to this Dominion, and delivered the
Turk's letters; but his further dealings at his next .audience, on the
19th, are kept secret — to the annoyance of the bp. of Rome.
Understands that he exhorts the Signory to take the French
part against the Emperor; but they abhor factions and
will rather incur the Turk's indignation, who can ill suffer his authority

to be ccnfemned by Venetians, and yet hesitates to force them to join the
Emperor and the Bishop, who make them great offers. Captain Polin, who
goes shortly to the Turk, as the French king's ambassador, is daily with
Janus Bey, which offends " these men." Privately Janus Bey has said
the Turk will see the French king in Milan, though it cost him his whole
empire. Here has been great peril of disorder, because the Imperial and
French ambassadors, for fear of each other, armed 100 or 200 men apiece.
The Signory has therefore forbidden the wearing of weapons, and licensed
regal ambassadors to, keep only 15 servants and other ambassadors 6.
By letters from Constantinople, of 12 and 16 March, the Turk's navy
was ready to come forth. Barbarossa was continually in the arsenal.
The navy would number 300 sail. Men are assembling at all the Turkish
seaports, biscuits are provided, and all men of war by land are ready.
On the other part, the Almains, according to their agreement at Spire,
assemble 40,000 foot and 8,000 horse, to be at Vienna "by all May";
the Hungarians, except the Queen's faction, give Ferdinando 20,000 horse,
who in Bohemia and Austria can easily make 30,000 horsemen more.
With their attempt upon Buda, which is furnished with a good " presidy "
of Turks supported by the general power of the Turk, some " mutacion of
the wordly empirs " is probable. The king of Pole seems , to maintain his
daughter's part in Hungary against Ferdinando, to the danger of
Christendom.
The French king has given Maran to Pietro Stroci who is going thither.
There are 3,000 Orisons gone to Turin and many Swiches. Here is no
talk but of war and the Frenchmen's coming to Italy. The Emperor is
coming to Barcelona. The Bishop practises, with all his might, concord
between the Emperor and French king, by marriages and otherwise; but
without Milan all is vain. Venice, 22 April 1542.

R. O. Being yesterday at Court, for the observance of the feast,* the
st> ^6V1II> French king, after dinner, having first debated with the Admiral,
Chancellor, Marshal Hannyball, "and three of his generals (as they call
tKem here)," called Paget and prayed him to write to the King (con-
versation verbatim} that he ^nought he had made a fair offer by his
ambassador there, and really desired this amity and would take a dote
of 500,000 ^r., or 600,000 cr. out of the arrears, and pay the rest at days
until the million were run out, the pension viager to be given with the
marriage and the perpetual pension remain as before. He further said
the pension viager was disputable; for the conditions had not been kept,
as Winchester could tell, who refused the aid when Francis asked it.
Paget said that was charging his master with breach of treaty, which
could never yet be proved; for Winchester would do nothing without
authority. " Mons. de Winchestre made this answer (quod he) at that
time; and, if he will deny it, I will vowe it to his face, and show him
good tokens of it, and tell him of the breaking of a letter." Paget replied
that this was not treating in amity, and reminded him how like a , brother
the King had been to him. He answered that he returned the King's love
and, to confirm it, sought this marriage, which would exclude him from
all treaty with the Emperor; and the arrearage was nothing, since the
pain was past. Paget said that if every creditor hoped for no better
answer from his debtor men would not be hasty to lend. Francis replied
that he was minded to pay the debt, howbeit the pension was disputable,
and repeated his offer with conditions (given) for payment of the pension
viager in case the married couple died before the King; adding that he
thought the offer reasonable, and that if, afterwards, Henry should enter
war he would find Francis his good brother. Paget said he feared that
his master would, like himself, think the offer scant reasonable ; and, as
for war, he knew nothing, although all the world knew Francis had " not
been well handled of some folks." He said he could wink at what had
been done unless the Emperor began war, and if his good brother and he
were joined they should do well enough.

When the King was gone, the Admiral came up ; who said the above
was the King's own device, and asked whether Paget had written his
device, saying he would send a man to the ambassador to confirm it, who
should tarry for Paget's letter if he was writing into England. Thinks
to satisfy that gentle offer with a general letter to some of the Council,
and despatch this by his own servant.
Has reported these conversations, for the King to judge them; but

The King, having received Marillac's letters of the 13th inst., des-
patches Guillaume Gellimard, the Admiral's secretary, with charge as
follows : — First, to inform Marillac at length of the conversation (propos)
between the Admiral and the ambassador. Then to desire him to let
the English understand that the King's inclination is not only to continue
his amity with England, but to increase it by all porsible means ; and
that, for this cause, he has hitherto been unwilling to condescend to
advantageous offers made for Orleans, two of which exceeded the value
of 2,000,000 of gold, viz., that of the king of Navarre's only daughter
with the actual present delivery of the Low Countries and Burgundy,
besides that of the daughter of the Queen and the late king of Portugal,
which amounts to 800,000 I'ucats, To conclude the affair, the King thinks
34 HEtfRY YIIL 151
1542.
they ought to speak openly and sincerely, ,ais the perfect friendship be-
tween the Princes requires. He will be content to take as dot of the
King of England's daughter acquittance of the million crowns [due]
according to the treaties, in return for which he will assign lands and
honors in France. If the King of England will not acquit the whole
million as dot, as much as possible must be obtained. The King, still
more tq show his desire to complete the matter, will, be content with
600,000 cr., and that the surplus of 400,000 cr. be paid in eight years,
and if the King of England will agree that the life pension (which might
be disputed, because the conditions were not fulfilled by him) be reduced
to a reasonable sum of 400,000 cr., he will make up the said million. The
King of England ought to be induced to agree to this because the King,
besides delivering assignation of the sum to which the life
pension is reduced at 30 or 25 years' purchase, whereas lordships
such as shall be assigned are commonly sold in France at 40 years' pur-
chase, will grant that, if Orleans and Lady1 Mary die without children
before the King of England, the said life pension shall be paid during the
said King's life, and then the assignation made for the 400,000 cr. shall
be null, and the said 400,000 cr. not subject to return ; and the contract
shall be made sure as customary, upon terms as advantageous to Orleans
as possible. If the King of England thinks war ought to be made on
the Emperor, in the Low Countries, and will enter into it, the King will
be pleased to make it ailong with him at common expense, conquests to
be shared as shall be settled in the treaty for their mutual benefit. As
to the assignation of the said 600,000 cr. upon the arrears and 400,000 cr.
upon the estimate of the life pension, the lands shall be, in accordance
with previous instructions, of the nature of .appanage returning to the
Crown in default of heirs male, burdened with an obligation on the King's
part to marry the daughters suitably : and if they would know how much
these marriages should amount to, the King will go as far as 100,000 cr.
for each daughter, although marriages of daughters of the house of France
do not usually pass that sum " et n'eut manage (sic) feu Madame de
Bourbon," yet it was payable at 10,000 cr. a year. If they should in-
sist that some portion of the assignation should be the proper heritage
of the future wife, it must by no means be allowed that she have any-
thing of her own in France; but, if they will not treat otherwise, it
may be accorded that a sum of money shall, in default of heirs, be sub-
ject to restitution ; the sum to b© the least possible, up to 200,000 cr.
As to the 400,000 cr., which will rema.in to be paid, as above, at 50,000
cr. a year, an effort must be made to have it 25,000 cr. a year or
less; but if they are willing" that it be converted to the war in another
place than that where it is made at the commoni expense it might be
agreed to pay and cancel 10,000 cr. & month, or better ; and if not so
converted the commencement of the payment shall be put as late as
possible. If they1 demand treaty of war offensive the King will agree
to it against the Emperor and king of the Romans as described above,
or with other honorable conditions. As for the defensive he will
agree to it against all, and be satisfied (as the King of England de-
manded) that the King of England declare himself friend of friends,
and enemy of enemies.
Marillac may treat on the above terms without waiting for other news ;
but separate treaties must be made for the marriage, for the offensive and
for the defensive. If they demand that France do not treat with the
Emperor without England's consent, they must be shown the importance
of such a promise and, if they insist, it shall be accorded, upon England's
according the like, and a separate treaty made. Similarly, if they insist,

a treaty may be made that Francis will not consent to a, Council without
England's consent, like that already made of which the bearer has the
copy. If Marillac can get the dot t taken, upon the remainder of the
2,000,000 cr., viz., the 800,000 cr. already due, and the 200,000 .cr. yet to
come, without taking part of it upon the estimate of the life pension, the
King will be only too pleased; and, from the language of the English
ambassador here, that seems easy, and that the King of England will be
content to be assured of the estimated sum of the life pension upon the
conquests to be made in the , Low Countries at, the common expense.

text.)° ° The .King being at Tonnerre, the Admiral, after remonstrance and
regret that so cold an .answer was made upon, the marriage of Orleans and
Lady Mary of England, said ,to the ambassador that they two should
speak freely and sincerely of their Princes' affairs. The ambassador asked
if the King wished to make war on the Emperor. The Admiral replied
that he did not ; but if the King of England wished it he would join him
in it, and not otherwise. The ambassador said that his master did wish it,
and named the country of Flanders, asking the conditions of their conquests
and the expense. The Admiral answered that the expense should be
shared equally, each King contributing 10,000 men, and the two jointly
levying 12,000 lansquenets, and sharing the expense, of the artillery; and
the conquests should be common. The ambassador said the power and
greatness of the King of England was less than that of France, so that
he could not bear so much expense. This was rebutted by several reasons,
especially ,that France would be making war in several places at once,
The ambassador demanded that the common conquests should be divided
equally, and that the share of Lngland should be in towns and
places next him, and detached from the King's sovereignty
of Flanders. This was granted, provided the King had
likewise his share in towns and places nearest him. The ambassador
also demanded that the 50,000 cr. of perpetual pension should be assigned
upon Francis's share of Flanders. It was answered thaf this could be
accorded in treating of the war; but that at present, in the matter of
this marriage, there should be no mention of the said pension, and the
treaties for it should remain in their present state.

26 April 274:. SIR BRIAN T'UKE to SIR THOMAS WRIOTHESLEY.
K 0 I send the memorial I promised you of such debts as will be good
payment for Anthony Guydot. Take out such as you and my Lord Privy
Seal think good. Few of them are all due, but all payable within a year
or two, ,and all good payers. For I perceive that in his matter he must
have ready money. " If like .motion as he maketh had been taken in time
with other diverse that offered good places to be bound," the King
had saved 100,000 mks. of desperate debts and many a one been
relieved that has been undone by suretyship, as Lord Audelay for Lau-
rence Bonvise's debt.*" Florence, in aill their alterations of regiment, have
kept " true takke " with the King, for their bond was that their citizens
here should be liable if they failed. At my poor house, 26 April 1542.

(Abstract.)
Has just received his letter of the 22nd, reporting the extreme
illness ( of Madame Marie, which was very unpleasant, and that of
the Prince of Wales, which, however, is not serious. For his entire and
indissoluble friendship with England, and for the sake of the affair now
in hand for the common profit of both realms, hopes God will reduce
things to better state. By this time the receiver de Chasteauneuf should
be with Marillac. As to the King of England's journey to Dover, Marillac
shall accompany him, and, if he crosses to Calais, shall follow his wishes
as to crossing with him or remaining at Dover. Desires continual news
of the King, Prince and Madame Marie.
If the King should make Marillac pass the sea with him, he shall
send continual report of what is done, and leave one of his most able
men, who shall feign himself ill, to report what is done in England after
this passage. Likewise, if Marillac remains in England, he shall report
the cause of this, passage and the preparations.

Since his last the King has left for Dover to inspect the fortifica-
tions he is erecting thereabouts, intending apparently to cross to Calais and
Guisnes and see what his engineers are doing there — ai clear proof that he
no longer thinks of an interview with Francis. The ambassador's man
also reports that his .master has now given up all hop© of Orleans marry-
ing in England. The King leaves all his councillors behind him to pro-
mote the^ffair of the loan. The Princess has gone on improving in health,
and it is hoped will soon be well. London, 30 April 1542.

The King left London about 6 days ago to inspect the fortifications
about Dover, &c. The ambassador's man says his master considers the
marriage of Orleans in England most improbable, and is not ashamed to
glorify his ^King's alliance with the Turk, whose friendship he values more
highly than that of the Emperor, and whom he praises as the most noble
and virtuous prince in the world.
The King has left the whole of his Privy Council behind him for the
forced loan, which is asked for as for two years, but repayment is more
likely to be at the Greek calends, like that in Wolsey's time, which the
States (Parliament) annulled. None of the lenders expect it back
again, but they put a good face on it, being told it is to be used against
the Turk and his adherents, including the French king. Wonder the
King borrows so large a sum after all his exactions. The Princess has
been very ill, &c. London, 30 April 1542.

Unmet, Injunctions made by the consent and authority of Edm. Bonner,
Wilk5!^' bp' °f Loildon> ^ the vear 1542> 34 Hen- v.in-> to his clergy.
Ill ^1 !• ^° provide themselves with copies, written or printed, of the King's
ordinances and injunctions. 2. To study each week a chapter of the
Bible, with the " gloss ordinary " or some approved expositor, from the
beginning of the Gospel of Matthew to the end of the New Testament,
so as to rehearse it at all times when commanded by the bp. or his officers.
3. To provide themselves with the book called " The Institution, of a Christ-
ian Man," otherwise "The Bishops' Book." 4. Those absent from their
benefices to suffer no priest to keep their cure unless he be " abled " by
the bp. ; and all who are so absent are warned to be personally resident
before Michaelmas now next coming, or else present to the bp.'s officers the
priests who shall serve their cures, and to exhibit the King's dispensations
for their non-residence. 5. To warn parishioners against making secret
contracts of matrimony. 6. Not to marry persons who have been married
before unless they produce certificate of the death of their former husband
or wife. 7. To bring up in learning such children of their parishioners
as shall come to them for the same, or at least teach them to read English ;
taking moderately therefor from such as can pay. 8. To appease quarrels
among their flock and themselves give an example of , forgiving. 9. Where
froward personb neglect their own curates and (to hide their naughty
living) confess at Lent to other priests ; it is ,to be declared that no per-
sons shall be admitted to Communion who have not submitted to be con-
fessed by their own curates (strangers only except), or else are dispensed
with by the bp. 10. By a detestable custom universally reigning, young
people and other ill-disposed persons, on Sundays and Holy days, in time
of divine service and preaching, resort to ale houses and there exercise
unlawful games " with great swearing, blasphemy, drunkenness, and other
enormities." Keepers of ale houses and taverns, are to be warned not to
suffer such ungodly assemblies, or receive persons to bowling and drinking
at such seasons. 11. To declare openly in, the pulpit twice every quarter
the seven Deadly sins and the Ten Commandments. 12. There are priests
who go in unseemly apparel, with unlawful tonsures, and wearing weapons,
more like laity than clergy, and so give occasion to light persons to be
more licentious in their conversation and acts. Such priests are warned to
wear seemly apparel, so as to be known at all times from lay persons. 13.
No priest to be suffered to say mass or have any service unless first pre-
sented to the bp.'s officers. 14. Both in preaching and at other times
to exhort parishioners to abstain from "swearing and blaspheming the
holy name of God or any part of Christ's most precious body or blood,"
from cursing, scolding, &c., from talking and jangling in church, and from
adultery, fornication, gluttony, and drunkenness. 15. That no priest use
unlawful games or use frequently ale houses or taverns or suspect places,
at unlawful times or with light company. 16. That in plague time no dead
body be brought into church, except it be brought straight to the grave
and buried. 17. That they permit no "common plays, games or inter-

157

hides " to be played in churches or chapels ; and if any persons violently
enforce such games to be there played their names are to be reported to
the bp.'s officers that they may be punished. 18. Priests shall not
rehearse sermons made by other men within these 200 or 300 years, but
shall take the Gospel or Epistle of the day, recite it all, desire the people
to pray with them for grace after the usage of the Church of England, and
then declare the ;same Gospel or Epistle according to the mind of some
Catholic doctor ; not affirming anything which cannot be shown in some
ancient writer, and in no wise rehearsing any opinion not allowed, with
a view to refute it, but leave that to preachers admitted by the ^King or
bp. Further directions to lay stress on passages which may stir the
people to good works and prayers, to take occasion to explain ceremonies
of the Church, and not to rage or rail, but " coldly, discreetly, and charit-
ably" extol virtue and suppress vice; also to explain what the prayers
for the day are ,for, and declare the significance of the sacraments, and
why the mass is to be so highly esteemed. The preacher is not to feed
his audience with fables, and is in conclusion to sum up briefly the pith
of his sermon. 19. To .suffer no person under1 the degree of a bp. to
preach, unless he have the licence of the King or the bp., and shall pro-
duce and show it before beginning his sermon. 20. To provide themselves
with copies of these injunctions.

R. O. Has received their letters of 29 April, and perceives their pro-
st- ^ I- ceedings in London. Although the sums are small, they seem to have
been frankly granted. Sends the schedule, with letters to the customers,
signed, " according to your desire."
Touching the matter of France, perceives that they hear nothing yet of
the French ambassador, and desire to know whether to " address " him to
the King. If he desire access to the King they shall say that, by what
the ambassador in France writes, the French demands are so unreason-
able that they fear his coming to the King " with that message should be
nothing acceptable;" and therefore, as the King is busy with his affairs
on the sea coast, and the towns on the way are dangerously infected with
the sickness, he should declare his charge to them, and il he have any new
matter to express it shall, be signified to the King with diligence, and if
not they are ready to hear and answer him. That they may be better
armed to answer the overtures already made by the French king to the
ambassador with him, instructs them as follows : —
1. Where Francis offers that the treaty of perpetual pension shall stand ;
the ambassador is to be asked ( whether that means that they take it to be
already firm and perfect, and would have it remain so, or whether they
take it to be disputable, and would have it so continue.
2. Where they demand 500,000 or 600,000 crs. of , the arrearage, with
the marriage, and .offer the rest at days reasonable, and to assign the
dowry out of hand ; demanding therewith that our pension viager be given
to our daughter and Mons. Dorleance, and their heirs male, and yet they to
take no profit of it these six years, and if they die in our lifetime without
heirs male the pension (save a marriage portion for heirs female, if any)
to return to us. To these points they shall answer that the more the
King ponders them the more it seems that Francis does not esteem his
amity as it has deserved, when, he seeks such unreasonable gain to the
King's loss and dishonor; ,for such a dote is unheard of, considering that
king Louis accepted the King's sister with 300,000 crs., for which she had
a corresponding dowry, and how discrepant is the state of a king from the
state of the duke of Orleans, who is but a king's second son, and also that
king Louis had no children, so that their issue should have inherited the
Crown, which possibility is not so likely in Orleans' case. And where our
good brother offers to agree for the rest of the arrearage upon, days reason-
able, we would know what that means, and whether he can maike greater
assurance than we have already (unless it be towns and lands), which has
not been so observed but that we may justly doubt the performance of
further bonds. As to the assignment of our pension viager, considering
that they have to do " with one that hath experimented (the world," and
of whom they have received some benefit, ,we think they might see how
34 HENRY VIII. 169

far they digress from reason, friendship, and equality to ask both for dote
and dowry ; " wondering, further, what they mean, to say that the Duke
and our daughter should not have the profit of it , these vj years, if we were
so disposed to give it unto them ; in which part it would be demanded of
him/ who should have the profit of it in the meantime, seeing by
their demand they seem to exclude both them and us, and to show by
what equity our good brother should have it for that time." Also, where
they demand, in default of issue male, to deduct (in restoring the pension)
a marriage portion for the heirs female, apparently at their appointment,
whether it seems reasonable that we should so, " at our charge, marry their
children or no." (
These things are so unreasonable that we cannot, with honor, con-
descend to them ; wherefore we desire our good brother, if he " moan to
join with us as he hath pretended," to leave them, and fall to just con-
ditions such as have been between our two houses in the past. To prove
that we " mind the perfection of this matter," if he will treat of dote and
dowry, continuing payment of the pensions according to our treaties unless
he offer a reciproque (to which we will also hearken), if he will assign to
our daughter such a dowry as king Louis made to our sister, we will give
the same dote — an honorable offer, comparing the state of king Louis and
that of Orleans. We see not how he can reasonably refuse this offer with
our daughter, in whom is great possibility of inheritance, which a King
of whom we never deserved such friendship as we have of him did accept
with our sister, who was far from such possibility. Here the ambassador
is to be reminded that the dote accepted when the marriage was con-
cluded between our said daughter and the Dolphine that dead is was far
under that now demanded with their second son.
As to the overture of the entering into wars, you shall say that we have
no cause of war against the Emperor ; but, like as our good brother, who,
as all the world knows, has great cause, says he can be content to wink at
it, we can also be so content ; not intending to make war with him unless
be much provoke us, which we think he will not do.
You shall answer the ambassador as " dulcely " as you can, adding such
persuasions as you can devise; and advertise us of your conference, and
also write to our ambassador in France the whole of this answer, and the
discourses you shall have now with the French ambassador thereupon.

B o Since his last, of 22 April, has been at Greenwich on St. George's
Kaulek, 415. Day, where this King solemnised the usual feast with the knights of his
(The whole Order. The King there confirmed what Marillac wrote; saying he went
only to visit his near sea coasts and took little company with him, having
with him of his Council only the Admiral and the "Maistre des Ports"
(warden of the Cinque Ports), le seigneur de Chaynay, and leaving the
rest here, where he hoped to return in 20 days; also that, as
he was going across country, where there was no convenience to
lodge many persons, Marillac need not follow him (as he offered
to do), seeing , that, for express matters, he could come to the
King in less than a day, and for things of less importance could apply to
the Council. This, implying that Marillac's company would not be agree-
able, increased his presumption that the King wished secretly to cross the
sea, and therefore he determined to keep a man in Court to report hourly
what was seen, .while he himself remained here to watch the equipment
of the King's ships.
Since the King's departure, has learnt that about 1,000 pikes, 400 or
500 hackbuts, and some artillery and munitions have been laden in the
three ships which usually transport him to Calais. However, the vessels
are still here, and some say .he wishes to carry to Calais a part of the
treasure which is in London, so that, in the. event of a mutiny, the Tower
should not be surprised with all his money and property in it. Others
persist that he will pass to Calais with the said three ships only, and that
four or five of the. great ships shall lie between the two passages to give
succour if necessary, and, while the King is absent, neither Englishman
nor stranger will be allowed to cross. Whether the King crosses, as the
common opinion is, or remains, there is no preparation of ships or men
to give suspicion of any novelty to the prejudice of Francis's frontier. Will
be careful to write daily all that happens and, even if there is .no great
matter for it, as long as affairs are in this doubt, will not fail to despatch
every ten or twelve days; so that if more than 15 days pass without
letters from hence Francis will understand that the passage is closed, and
things going badly, although they seem well disposed.
Madame Marie is much better, and, the doctors say, out of danger.
Norf oik also, who went home ill, is now well, and should be here at Whit-
suntide. There is no other talk here but of the loan, of which Marillac
wrote, which is diligently exacted, to the extent of taking plate and jewels

292. BONNEE and KNYVETT to HENEY VIII.
Having despatched letters, on 5th April, of their conference with
the Emperor and Oovos, at the first audience granted to Bonner, looked
daily for the return of Grandevele, to whom tne Emperor much refers;
who arrived from Cabesson, two leagues off, on St. George's Day at 6 a.m.
Thinking he would be occupied, Bonner did not send until 7 p.m. to con-
gratulate him upon his return, and desire an interview. He said he was
very busy, and would give an answer next morning; and that he would
tarry in his lodging that night ; but apparently, he spent much of it with
the Emperor whose lodging communicates privately with his. Next morn-
ing he answered that Bonner should be welcome at 2 p.m., at which how
the writers repaired to him. Describe their gentle reception. When
they gave him the King's commendations and thanks, he put off his bonnet
and told how he always coveted to serve the King, and had so declared to
my lord of Winchester and Mr. Knevet, and to Mr. Wyat, and " illi pro-
fugo et malo viro qui jam est Romae." Bonner suggested Pates,
and he continued, " Yea, unto Pates. I showed him that
nothing at no time, by my will nor the will of the
Emperor, should be done in prejudice of the King, your master." He
then went on to speak of the amity between the houses of Burgundy and
England, the love the Emperor bore the King, even at the time of the
defiance made to him by means of the Cardinal ,of York,* and his own
joy that all occasions to assuage the amity were now taken away. Bonner
then told how he was commissioned to use his advice in the King's affairs
and had, by his absence, been compelled to use the help of Seignior
Covos; but now desired, through him, to know the Emperor's resolution
in the things proposed. Grandevele sadd that the night before he had
been long talking with the Emperor who, although he had been diseased,
and it was a cold wind and the window open, would not suffer the window
to be closed ;nior lights brought, but continued talking of Bonner's
proposals ; and had delivered him Bonner's memorial touching the matters
of Glanders for his consideration. He declared the Frenchmen's ill-will
to him for divers causes, especially Rynconne and Cesare Fregoso, and liow
they had galleys out to take him, which the French king, on the ex-
postulation of the Emperor's ambassador, said were out for corn and
victual; and how he cared not so much for himself, as because he had

certain blank charters of the Emperor's party touching the expedition
of English matters, which he would not have come to the Frenchmen's
hands, or himself either, for they hated both him and his sororiuz,* who,
being ambassador in France, was threatened in the Council there to lose
his head. Seeing him shut up in Geanes, the French solicited the Emperor,
by means of the Pope, not to join with the King, telling the Pope also
that the Emperor would deceive him ; and this camerariu3\ of the Pope
passed by where Grandevele was without coming to see jhim, but i£e
Emperor had not yet heard him. Grandevele became so earnest that he
took up a book, and sware by it that he had chartas, which showed all
these doings of the Frenchmen. Bonner asked if he did not think the
King was as much solicited elsewhere as that, if profit or suit might avail,
there should be no joining at all; ^and he replied that he could well
believe it. Grandevele then said that, though the rumour was blazed
abroad that the French king was gone to Boulogne, sending the Admiral
to England and the Dolphyn to Lyons, the French king was gene to
Burgundy; and, to show their dishonesty, it was blazed abroad that
Orleans should marry Lady Mary, yet here they craftily solicit a marriage
for Him ; they sent four ambassadors to Germany, who made a wondroas
solemn oration, but, when required to write their desire and say
whether they were commissioned to contribute against the Turk, refused
the one and denied the other; and so "were commanded to go to their
lodging and drink, and they should be accompanied." Here he told of
the great aid the Empire gives against the Turk, and his preparations in
Spain against the malice of the French .king, and, after speaking with a
great stomach against the Frenchmen, said they would descend to parti-
culars.
Bonner said they looked to hear these of him, and trusted, as winter
was past and summer "comen on," that proceedings would be warmer;
declaring the unfriendly handling of the ambassadorfs]^ in Flanders, as in
his instructions. Grandevele replied that it was not his custom to
speak evil of men, but he was informed that " the said ambassadors "
handled the Queen very rudely, and refused to put in writing what they
uttered ; however, seeing the increasing friendship between their masters,
they would leave that and come to the matter itself. Bonner asked what lie
would demand, and said that the King, seeing the Emperor proceeded no
further, sent Hi™ to know the Emperor's inclination and to signify that,
if the Emperor proceeded coldly, he should not think it strange if the
King accepted overtures made elsewhere. Grandevele said he thought
they had commission to ask what they would. Bonner said, " Sir, here is
much courtesy and I fear it may hurt." Knyvet also said he saw no
need for ceremony, seeing that both Winchester and Bonner had declared
the King's goodwill for a straiter amity. Perceiving that he still looked
to have some specialty declared, Bonner, to provoke him to " open himself,"
said they should do as the Athenians did, first have an amnesty for past
injuries, and then commune of the things spoken of by Winchester.
" What are they ? quod he." Keminded him that " at the making of the
promise," a confirmation of old leagues and abolition of injuries was
spoken of, and that within 10 months should be treated a straiter amity
and for mutual defence and offence touching England and the Low Parts ;
the 10 months would be past within 5 days, and the King desired to know
the Emperors inclination, and that the edict in Flanders should be re-
voked. Grandevele was wonderfully glad that Bonner opened the matter,
which Winchester and he had spoken of, and concluded that there should

be a confirmation of old leagues, " with abolition aforesaid, saving always
those chapters thereof that th' Emperor cannot with his honor observe
and keep," that there should be a straiter amity, that there should be
letters and a most ample commission sent to the ambassador, who should
refer difficulties to the Regent in Flanders, to whom it should be written
to reform the edict to the King's satisfaction. He said he was glad to
have a man of such learning to debate the matter, and was sorry Knevet
was leaving ; he would speak with the Emperor that night, and his only
doubt was how the letters and commission, should be conveyed. "Sir
(quod we) we shall convey them by our courier, and safely we trust."
Describe how they were put off then from day to day, the excuses sent
from Granvelle and Covos by Joyes, the Emperor's secretary, the bp. of
Arras and others, their own threats that they could wait no longer, &c.
Finally, on 2 May, answer was faithfully promised for 3 p.m. the same
day, and they determined to write the rest of their letter, as follows : —
In spite of the bruit that the cardinal of Toledo, or Granvelle himself,
should go in embassy to England, for the marriage of Lady Mary with the
Emperor (which is in every man's mouth, and Boriher's coming reported to
be solely for it), and to reconcile the King with the bishop of Rome ; if
any man go it will be Granvelle's son, the bp. of Arras. No ambassador
has come from Venice, but the Venetian secretary says that one shall
shortly come from France. Mayo, the vice-chancellor of Arragoni, is gone
to Monzon to prorogue the Courtes there until the Emperor's coming, at
the end of May. After the manner of Rome, a pasqual was set up here
on St. Mark's Day, taunting the Emperor's Council. The Emperor was
sore offended, and offered 300 ducats for the author of it ; and Don Pero
Lasso de la Vega, Don Lorenzo de Figueras, his brother, and Don Pero
Gonzales de Mendoza are arrested. The father of the two first was one
of the chiefs of the insurrection* against the Emperor in Toledo. Write to
the Council about the persons convicted of heresy. Report a speech of
Granvelle's about the King's wisdom, and the Emperor's love for him
and his son. The Scottish herald Fawclonde, alia* Snodon, who has been
long a suitor here for certain ships taken by Spaniards, is leaving dis-
contented. The ambassador of Ferrare says that the camerare of the
bp. of Rome., is not yet gone, but had, with the Nuncio, audience with the
Emperor on Monday week, and was going hence to the French king, on the
Bishop's part, who was loth to have war in Italy, and feared a new sack of
Rome if the Almains came thither. The duke of Mantua, being only eight
years old, shall marry the daughter of Ferdinandus rather than Signora
Victoria. The Emperor has made an exchange with the Fokkars of
Almain for 100,000 ducats, half for Geanes and half for Naples, at 12 or
13 per cent. The gentleman who set forth in, galley with Granvelle, and
afterwards came by land, was from the duke of Ferrare to lament ths
Emperor's loss at Algere, and congratulate his safe return.
On St. George's even the Emperor sent to Knevet a goodly chain of
great weight. The secretary Joyes, who brought it refused a reward
worth 90 ducats, and 100 crs., saying that the Emperor forbade it, as in
the case of my lord of Winchester. Desires to have a cipher, in case letters
are searched in France.
Sent, as appointed, to Granvelle's house, three times, who finally said
the despatch was ready, and he" desired to speak with them next morning
before they despatched their courier.
Describe their conversation with him on the morrow; when he said,
with many good words, that the commission, instructions, &c., were pre-
pared as he had promised ; ho was sending a memorial to the ambassador

of a complaint made by the Emperor's subjects touching freight of ships
(it stated that the prohibition in England was absolute against lading
save in English bottoms, which, they pointed out, was untrue); the 10
months provided in the promise made at Raynesburge were expired, but
he could promise on the Emperor's behalf, that it should be extended
another 6 months. Showed him that they had no power to grant any
such thing, but dare promise it upon their honours. He said the Bishop of
Rome's camerare solicited to conciliate the Emperor and the French king,
with offers of marriage, &c., but the Emperor refused them " in respect of
these our master's." Replied that the King likewise kept in suspense
great overtures made to him. He said he knew it, and that the French
king desired an amity, first, that he might be discharged of the pension1,
and secondly, that he might usurp the realm and expel the Prince.
Granvelle was in this wondrous earnest, and wished he were in England to
tell the King of it himself. Took this occasion to commend his son the
bp. of Arras (to know whether he should come to England), and he said
ho and his son and all together were the King's servants. Finally,
he asked them to enclose his packet in theirs, for fear of its being opened

(ISendar Acknowledges his letters of 25 Feb. and 14 March, the former of
VI., n., No. 2. which came through Flanders under cover to Granvelle, the latter for-
warded by the Queen of Hungary. Thanks for his advice, but needs not
reply particularly, except to praise his dexterity and diligence. Although
Henry may still incline to temporise, yet in order to keep the agreement
at Ratisbon to treat within 10 months of closer alliance with England, has
ordered Granvelle on his return from the Diet to communicate with the
bp. of London, and with the other bishop (sic ) ambassador now returning.
The bp. of London has been most friendly, declaring that the present
negociation was the sole object of his mission ; yet, in conference with
Granvelle, all that could be got out of him was that past treaties must be
carefully revised, and the edict promulgated in Flanders revoked, to make
the King his master more inclined to make concessions. Granvelle said that
alliances were generally founded on defence and offence, but the bp. said
his master would not go beyond a defensive league between England and
the Low Countries. It was at, last resolved that, in addition to the powers
sent to Chapuys by the Queen of Hungary, the Emperor should send him
fresh ones, specially for the alliance. In case of difficulty, for a quicker
settlement, he may consult the Queen of Hungary, to whom the Emperor
will write to consult what can be done as to the revocation of the edict.
Sends a memorandum about it drawn up in Spain.
It has been arranged between Granvelle and the English ambassador
that nothing shall be done during these negociations by either party to
the prejudice of the other, as was agreed at Regensburg. Writes to the
Queen of Hungary and De Praet to assist him with fresh copies of treaties,
&c. Chapuys must on no account agree to anything against the authority
of the Holy See, or in favor of the new sects ; and he is to proceed with
such secrecy that the French may not know what passes. They have
written to the Pope that Charles is in close alliance with England, thus
endeavouring to remove the reproach of themselves seeking a marriage
between Orleans and the Princess Mary. He must endeavour to con-
tract an offensive alliance against France. If they hold out for a
merely defensive alliance, it must include the whole of the Emperor's
34 HENRY VIII. 175
1542.
dominions, the Low Countries as well as Navarre, and, if possible, let the
help be in money. He must .endeavour to induce Henry~ to aid in
the recovery of Gueldres and Zutphen, or, at least, promise not to aid the
duke of Cleves. He will also do all he can to set Henry against the duke
of Holstein ; or, if that cannot be obtained, to secure that the ,Duke and
the Hanse towns under his rule keep the obedience they owe to the
Emperor.
While seeking to induce Henry to take the Emperor's part against
France, Chapuys will sees that the Emperor's honor be safeguarded as
above, and that no word be perverted in the transcriptions or translations
of treaties — a thing in which the English are not over scrupulous. He
must try to excuse the Emperor from becoming security for the French
king's debts. The French have always tried to escape their liabilities,
and the object of Francis in soliciting the hand of the Princess for his son
is merely to gain time in that matter. If he ever seriously thought of
such a marriage it was with a view to usurping the English crown, either
during Henry's life, or after his death ; for which purpose he cultivates
the friendship of the Scots king. It would be well to avoid treating of
the alliance the Emperor once had with Scotland, or of matters even
indirectly connected with the Princess which may turn to her injury, such
as her legitimacy. As the English ambassadors have assured Granvelle
that their King means to proceed frankly in this affair, he must for once
be trusted ; but if Chapuys perceives duplicity he must not break off at
once, but write to the Emperor and the Queen of Hungary.
Lastly, would it not be possible to get the King of England to give aid
against the Turk?

communed of, and desired access to us. We desired him to come to the
house of me, the Lord Privy Seal, on Thursday afternoon, which was
yesterday. The ambassador's cousin delivered the packet which Mr. Paget
wrote that he had delivered him as a "demonstration of trust." The
cousin made no mention of any man sent from the Admiral.
On Thursday the ambassador came, with the gentleman* sent from the
Admiral, whom, as the ambassador's companion, we saluted. The gentle-
man, to judge by his words, has wit, but, by his years, no great experience.
He came in a gown of taffeta with a chain of gold about his neck, and
when the rest that entered the chamber left he remained, as one having
commission. The ambassador began as though he would have him pre-
sent, whereupon Southampton took him aside and asked whether the
gentleman brought any letter or message to the King, or had anything to
say from the Admiral. He replied Nay, he was only sent to him from the
Admiral. Southampton then desired him to cause the gentleman to with-
draw to the gallery, as the matter was weighty, and they were com-
missioned only to treat with the ambassador, who had .like commission.
The ambassador said he would gladly have him present, and would tell
him all afterwards, but he would desire him to withdraw ; which he did,
apparently with some difficulty, for they consulted together " a good pretty
space."
The gentleman being retired, and we placed at the board, the ambas-
sador declared how he had letters from his master for acceleration of the
matter they had long treated ; saying, I have declared three points, viz.,
(1), the affection of the King my master and his desire to this marriage;
(2), that for the legitimation of the lady Mary he condescends to your
laws, and (3), I have demanded what dote she should have, but you reply
with general words, and will open no speciality. You spoke of a reci-
proque, a term which I understand not, but have written as you declared
it and have answer again to desire you to be frank and, as I have opened
to you our desire for this marriage, and the time passes, to require you
to descend to some specialty that this matter might take effect, or
els© break off. We withdrew, and, upon, conference, determined
what answer to make, and also to take occasion to speak of the overture
made to Mr. Pagett, and declare the answer you had devised thereto.
We then answered that we marvelled at this his speech and doubted not
but he remembered that in these three points we had been plain with him,
and had declared your affection to the marriage, and that the request,
which they desired, with the marriage, to have all the pensions remitted,
was unreasonable, but the dote should be 200,000 crs. if the French king
would appoint a corresponding dowry. " Hereat the ambassador, without
any other ceremony of speech, said two hundred thousand crowns was
nothing, and as good speak of nothing1 as of that, and if ye will speak no
further, quoth he, we be at a point." Said we looked not to hear him
speak thus now, for your ambassador had advertised that he had some
other special overture to declare, whereunto we were instructed to ma,ke
answer, which your ambassador, to whom the matter was opened, could
not do : and so declared the overture made first by the Admiral, and then
by the French kingf. The ambassador said that of the specialties of this
overture he had not heard, but it was written to him that your ambas-
sador had been with the French king and Admiral and, as a private man,
without commission, had made an overture to them to move war against
the Emperor jointly with your Highness, and your pension to be recom-
pensed out of the " conquest lands." To this the French king gave ear ;
and, indeed, he is resolved never to enter war against the Emperor unless

your Highness be joined with him, for your realm is environed with the
sea,, whereas his may be annoyed by the Emperor in divers parts. This
communication, quoth he, was with your ambassador upon the overture
that he made, " and this hath been written unto me." And of the marriage,
to tell you plainly mine instructions, the King my master demands rei-
mission of one million of the debt, whereof there is about 800,000 now due,
and 200,000 shall be due within two years, " and then the treaty of the
pension viager and perpetual to sta'nd as it doth ; " or else 600,000 cr. of
the debt and the pension viager wholly remitted, and the perpetual to
remain. He then went galliardly to the matter, mentioning the giving of
the pension to the duke of Orleans. We Nasked the meaning of that
speech, which the French king and Admiral now used, viz., that the
treaty " shall remain as it is." He said it meant " if it be good, to be
good, and if it be not good, so to be taken." We asked what assurance
should be given for payment of what .remained if the 600,000 or the
1,000,000 were granted, seeing that the bonds hitherto " could not work
the effect of a certain payment." He said he trusted we would not disallow
the French king's promises, for that would touch a prince too near. "We
said we would not disallow them, but the thing sheweth th' effect followeth
not," and you yourself have not accounted the debt as good as ready
money, saying "we should marry our daughter with an acquittance."
He said he meant no hurt thereby ; there was money due, but it was un-
paid, partly because of his master's great charges, and partly because not
pressed for. Seeing he was weary and would have recourse to the shield
of a prince's honor, " which it becometh no mean man directly to impugn,"
we left that matter and opened the unreasonableness of the demand either
of the million or of the 600,000 and pension viager ; and laid the latter so
before his eyes that he was " ashamed to hear it," how the French king,
who had received such benefits, could require remission of that he was
bound in gratitude to pay, by pretence of a marriage, and therewith
demand such an unheard of sum as 600,000 cr. to Mons. Dorleaunce,
who, although a great prince's son, was born to live, he and his posterity,
in the estate of subjects, his brother Jiving and having issue; and,
although you had great regard to your heirs, it sounded " very evil in any
man's ears that the French king should require that he might pay your
Majesty no pension during your life, wherein he ought to ^have rejoice and
comfort, but to your heir." The ambassador had no shift then but to
demand the million ; which we said was such a sum as you could not give
without prejudice of your honor and wisdom. We were sure you would
rather give two millions of liberality than one million as dote of such a
lady as the lady Mary to a second son, she being also in such " possibility "
as she is. Princes, we said, had no measure prescribed in liberality ; but,
in a bargain, to digress from prudence, or give so much as to declare in-
equality in the princes that treat or the persons that marry, was so dis-
crepant from reason that a friend should not desire it. Here we noted
the marriage of your sisters to king Lewis and the king of Scots, and the
espousals of the lady Mary to the Dolphin departed ; and told him finally
that, if he intended this matter earnestly, you would for your good
brother's sake esteem Orleans as ^ou did .king Lewis, and much more than
your father esteemed the king of Scots, "and as well
as your Majesty, in communication with your good brother
for the Dolphin and the lady Mary, did esteem, that marriage." The
ambassador said these were general words, and no specialty. We asked
what more specialty could be expressed than to say you would esteem
Orleans as much as any other prince had been esteemed; by you or your
father, and so would give 300,000 cr. He said that was nothing. " Have

yet not heard, quoth he, what offers th' Emperor maketh Mons. Dorle-
aunce to give unto him Flanders and Burgoyne? I am sure, quoth he,
you have heard it, for you be as well advertised from all parties as any
men be in Christendom. We told him we had not heard it, ne believed
it. He told us then how the King his master might have married Monsr.
Dorleaunce to the Queen of Navarre's daughter, which is a marriage,
quoth he, of three millions and above ; " but his master was very desirous
of this marriage and had sent him a resolution, viz., either a million or
else 600,000 and the pension viager. We said the pension via?er was a
greater matter than two millions,, and we would not reply how Orleans
might marry the Queen of Navarre's daughter, " either for the impedi-
ment of nature or covenaunt."* The ambassador then knit up the matter,
saying his instructions were as he showed, and if we liked not the con-
ditions the matter should end and our masters remain friends.
It only remained to answer the overture of the war, which he had
opened as proposed by your ambassador ; and so we answered as ordered
in your letters. To that,, the ambassador said that your ambassador had
moved it. We said that if so he must have done it merely of himself,
for no such thing had been written to him, and we saw no inclination to
it in your Majesty, and it was strange to us to hear that our ambassador
had made this overture, considering that he wrote of it as made, to him.
Thus we affirmed the overture not to have been made by your ambas-
sador, without declaring specialties, which may be opened when it shall
please you to make manifest that your ambassador has not done as they
report. "Wherein, we know by experience, some of us here more than
other, as your Majesty knoweth, that it is not the first time, ne news out
of that Court, to have matters by them set forth called afterwards other
men's overtures unto them." It may be that the Admiral, to keep th?
French king in suspense, lest some other thing should proceed, which this
hinders, has reported that your orator made the overture to him, and has
sent his servant hither to delay the answer. In this doubt we forbore
to charge the Admiral with his" letter to your ambassador to come to him,
a proof that he made the overture, in which letter he "had written that
ho afterward crossed out that it cannot, now be read." The truth and
wisdom of your ambassador needs no declaration, and the justification of
his doings herein may be opened to the French king, or otherwise, as
expedient, whose service shall be hindered after " an altercation in such
a matter."
The communication ended, to feel whether this gentlemanf should in-
continently depart, the lord Privy Seal invited the ambassador and him
to dinner on Sunday or Monday next. The ambassador gently refused,
saying that the gentleman must return this day, and desiring some direc-
tion for his passage ; and after we had drunk together he took his leave.
We have written to Mr. Paget all that your Majesty wrote to us, and
also our conference with the ambassador, as herein written, and have
ordered the messenger to attend further knowledge of your pleasure.

6 May. 320. MARILLAC to FRANCIS I.
Kaulek, 417. Last despatch received from Francis by bearer, secretary of the
Admiral, made him think that the English, having changed hardness into
graciousness, had decided briefly to conclude this marriage, and, by their
ambassador's language there, had resolved to make war on the Emperor.
But when he heard these Deputies, to whom this King insisted on refer-
ring him, he found them obstinate in their resolution of which he wrote
on the 13th ult., and even adding to it, implying that they have now less
will than ever to conclude this alliance. For [whereas] they had said that
they would accord a part of what was demanded provided a reciprocal
was found for the rest, and, by their ambassador, it seemed that they
would go to 500,000 cr. or 600,000 cr., now they offer only acquittance
of 300,000, and will not hear of moderating the life pension to some
honorable sum, and estimating it with quittance of 600,000 cr. and
promise of the remaining 400,000 of the 1,000,000, or of admitting in any
way the demand of the million. Moreover, which is strange, without
Marillac's beginning the subject, they said the overture made by their
ambassador there had been made by Francis, and, what is more, dis-
guised the particulars which made for Francis, and put forward those
which made for themselves; and, all as if the discourse had been begun
by Francis, they said their master's resolution was that he would not
deliver with his daughter to a duke of Orleans more than he delivered
with his sister to king Loys, which was 300,000 cr., and, moreover, that
they had no wish directly or indirectly to make war on the Emperor, with
whom they had no quarrel. When Marillac on this remonstrated roundly,
and made full recital of all that their ambassador had said, they expressed
unbounded astonishment, to persuade him that their ambassador never
had charge or commission to hold such language, nor, as they thought, would
be warranted in it, the lord Privy Seal saying that .there was no particular
in this affair of which he would not have been informed by his master.
The bp. of Winchester followed this up by observing that Marillac should
consider that no such language had ever been held to him (which
Marillac admitted, but said that the ambassador had also explained that
they would not learn from Marillac's letters what he was going to say) ;
this King's secretary adding that he was able to know the truth inasmuch
as he made all the despatches ; and all concluding that in this case their
ambassador had spoken without charge.*
* The aibove seems the probable meaning of the sentence, which 'both in Kanlek
and in the transcript is rendered obscure "by what seems questionable punctuation.
The text, apparently, should read as follows: — " Et quant la de&sus, Sire, j'ay
remonisitre rondement et maintenu. telles overtures eetre proceddees de la part de
leurdit aanbflseadeur, leur faisant ample recit de to us les propos qu'iil avoit tenoi et de

texte par dela qu'on n'entendroit [de] mes lettres ce qu'il diroit a bouche," &c.
34 HENRY VIII. 181
1542.
Thinks the chief cause which has moved these lords to hold such strange
terms, which look like a wish to break rather than conclude this treaty is
that they feel piqued because Francis has said to their ambassador that
if the life pension \vere discussed it would be found not to be due,
" d'aultant que ce roy ne se seroit ~x~ des quittances con-
tenues a,ux traitez soubs lesqueilles la dicte pension se debvoyt payer, qui
est en substance qu'il vous aoiroit laisse au besoing;" for most of what
they said tended to raise the question whether the life pension, and also
the perpetual pension of 50,000 cr. were not due, thus perverting ths order
of Marillac's demands. Said he did not wish to enter upon these difficulties,
but, in a friendly way, to speak of some moderation of the life pension,
and leave those who came after their King to dispute about the perpetual.
They only answered that they saw well what was meant, adding, darkly
(eti parolles couvertesj, what was (the good of the treaties, since their
pensions were not paid, and what greater security could be given them,
in new promise or assignation, for what remained, if they should grant
a part of what ; was demanded of them, when that which was most justly
due was called in question? Could only point out that Francis was a
prince who esteemed his honor more than his life, and try, without
greater contention, to compose matters amiably, but could draw from them
only fine words in general, such as the amity of the King their master,
the desire that this amity should continue, and the like. Whenever it
came to particulars Marillac met with more difficulties than even* before.
One that he cannot omit was that they would nowise allow the bearer
to sit in the chamber where they were assembled, saying he had no
special power to do so, and that, without special permission of their
master, they dare not grant it. Said he was come to report the resolution,
and all would be communicated to him (for Marillac singularly desired
that he might report, not only the debate but the gestures and counten-
ance, by which to judge whether there was more good zeal than dissimula-
tion). Has so instructed him point by point that he can report all that
passed, and Marillac need not here specify it, especially as the English
remonstrances were similar to those reported in his letter of the 13th ult.
Another time when their ambassador makes such overtures it remains for
Francis to demand first his power, as they do to his ministers, so that
they may not by such inventions get Francis to declare himself without
showing their own meaning. It will be well to temporise for some days,
as Marillac wrote before, and continue saying that Francis does not intend
to move until he sees them "par mesme moyen marcher." Marked as
sent by M. de Chasteauneuf.^

secretary. Neither he nor his colleaguef has yet attempted to procure an
audience. Believes they are waiting for the King's return to town in 6
or 7 days, for there is no longer any talk of his going over to Calais. The
two ambassadors went the other day to the Privy Council, on which some
of the Councillors despatched a courier to their' ambassador in France.

309. CHAPUYS to MARY OF HUNGARY.
Since the 19th ult., when she wrote last, she must have learned
from his various despatches the state of perplexity he is in. True, the
King's ministers, since he told them he expected instructions shortly from
the Emperor, have not mentioned the matter further, else he should have
been at his wits' end. But they will soon bitterly complain of the delay, for
which he will offer excuses such as those suggested in her last letter. As
to the Statute against the export of woollen cloth above the value of 17
ducats a piece unless properly prepared, though it passed through the
Chamber years before, it was only enforced in 1539, to the great annoyance,
not only of the weavers and drapers, but also of the shearers themselves,
who had great disputes with the others, which were ultimately settled in
their favor. The King will never be induced, Chapuya understands, to
reverse the decision for the benefit of the clothiers and drapers; nor to
revoke the Statute, as he derives a great profit from licenses for exporta-
tion. The remedy would be measures of retaliation in the Low Countries,
though perhaps in the present state of the Emperor's affairs it, is not
advisable just now.
An hour ago the French ambassador's man sent Chapuys the enclosed
documents in cipher, which he has not had leisure to decipher. A copy
might be made for the Emperor in Spain. The ma.n has not been able to
ascertain what the mission of Receptor Chasteauneuf mentioned in the
papers may be. He arrived 5 days ago. Neither he nor the French
resident ambassador have yet seen the King, who is to return in a week

Orleans. Wrote in his last of the Princess's long illness, and how she
had been at length declared out of danger. Three or four days ago she
sent to thank Chapuys for the comfortable letters he had written during
her illness. As to the Prince the reports of his ill health turn out to
have been false. Presses for his arrears. The Venetian secretary here

On the 18 April Mons. de Langey, after dining with the English
ambassador, - took him by the hand and showed him that it was not the
fault of Francis, but of the Emperor if the affairs of Christendom were
not in better state. The Pope had again written to Francis in favour of
a marriage between Orleans and the Emperor's daughter, but, knowing
that this was only to prevent the Duke's marriage in England, Francis
had refused, lest the Pope and Emperor should laugh at him, and say,
" Whoever cannot grind his corn at one mill must needs go to another."
The Chancellor of Alenyon, who was at the diet at Spires, had talked far
too much and too long, and had exceeded his instructions, at which
Francis was displeased. Ambassadors from the German princes are ex-
pected at the French Court daily. The Emperor is doing all he can to
humour them and make them turn against Francis, but they remain per-
fectly neutral. The marquis of Pescara had reinforced the garrisons of
Ivrea and Castle Vulpan with 5 companies of Spanish foot, for fear of the
3,000 Swiss of Francis'. " Capt. Poulain had passed through Ragusa on
his return from his embassy to the Grand Turk." The Spaniards employed
by the marquis of Pescara to intercept him failed, and meeting with 18
French students on the banks of the Po, bound for Padua University,

Has appointed to meet Oneil on the 15th inst. Advised granting
Oneil's demands, as his country is a barren waste of woods, bogs, and

tion of Leinster could be carried out, where, although the Cavenaghes,
Obirns, and Tooles keep peace, they are far from perfect civility. Besides,
whatever grant is made to Irishmen, they will never so sincerely keep their
conditions but that the King will have just cause to re-seize their lands.
Hears that Mr. Cowley, late master of the Rolls, devised how the King
might have a 1,0002., or 2,000 marks yearly from hence, and the country
well defended. If the King would make some nobleman of this country

deputy, that might be done, and if the deputy were changed every three
years the country would benefit. Writes this for the King's service, not
because he is weary of office. The subjects of the Pale, trusting in the
King's army, give up maintaining men of war, saying they cannot furnish
them and give them horse and harness as Kildare did. Kiidare kept 200 or
300 stud mares, but these are all gone now, and the lack of horses will
cause decay here unless the King * erect the same again." The Council
are now about to take order for the supply of horse ana harness. Hears
that the saidx Cowley articled against him that he went about to erect a
new Geraldine band, meaning the earl of Desmond. Explains that, now
Kildare is, gone, Ormond has no rival, and he thinks it best to have a
Rowland for an Oliver, and has therefore allured Desmond to obedience.
Thinks them both true subjects, and it is much to the Butlers' praise
that they have never rebelled. Protests that the articles sent over against
Cowley were not conceived of malice, but that he examined the witnesses
before the Council as indifferently as if Cowley had been his father. Kil-

Comparing them, upon a " second view," with the platts devised "by the

Yesternight, after arriving at Stepney, devised to pick a quarrel
St. P., ix., to speak with the ambassador,* and sent him word that, having been three
23. years in France he had learnt to send for wine wherever he thought the best
to be, and therefore he now sent for some wine to his supper, although he
was a Frenchman only in that point. He liked the message well, ana sent
his secretary to desire Gardiner to dinner next day, with otfer to come and
salute him in the morning, which Gardiner prevented ; and so they came
together rather at his (the ambassador's) provocation, as he thinks, this
forenoon. He sues to Gardiner to get him a gracious audience, for he
knows the amity between the King and the Emperor to be the very mean
" to extinct the light enterprises of France, and to expel the Turk, and
to quiet Germany," and would pledge his life that what he opens will be
pertormed by the Emperor. He said he could fashion no other commission
than he has, but that he has letters from the Emperor to warrant him in
what he should propone, and would write to the Emperor to confirm all
that he granted. He knew all that the Frenchmen did, and thought the
King meet to be wooed. Seeing him in this good trade, Gardiner was not
over bold, but said he would consult the lord Privy Seal whether he (the
ambassador) should seek audience again ; and so left, as it were, to speak
with the lord Privy Seal, the ambassador inviting him to dinner to-morrow.
Spoke with him oi all the-matters which the King signified by Mr. Sadler ;
which he considered wisely, and concludes that the King's amity is most

of Scotland, who says he has letters from England, from a, person of

B. O. Yesternight, received his letters, and showed them to the King,
§t* *25 IX ' w^1(> aPProves his proceeding's with the ambassador. J Apparently, the
ambassador alleges that he has proponpd a speciality touching the con-
firmation of the old treaties; but the King1 remembers only that, in the
time of last progress, he desired, on behalf of the Regent of Flanders,
a new treaty of intercourse. Gardiner shall, on the first opportunity, tell
him that, upon reflection, he cannot remember hearing that he had pro-
poned such a matter, and is sure that the King and the rest of the Council
do not understand that he has done so, save that generally he has desired
a new treaty of intercourse; advising- him, if he have any such special
overture of a general confirmation of the old leagues to speak of, to desire
access to the King, and propone it again, as a good introduction of thK
amity. Gardiner shall get him to sue for access in such a way that it
may be granted for Ascension Dav next.
The King thinks he should be reminded that the Edict made in
Flanders is grounded upon an untrue suggestion, his Majesty having done
nothing not consonant to the treaties, and that its revocation (although
a thing to which, by honor and reason, they are bound) would please the
King and further all other good purposes.

On the 9th, received letters from the Council at London, enclosing
minutes of letters from the King to them, and from them to the King,
touching the matter propounded by the French ambassador ; and also a
letter from others of the Council at Dover, to take order with the Admiral
upon the outrage of the bishop of Constance. Repaired next day to the
Admiral, and said that, whereas, upon the abrogation of the bp. of
Rome's usurped power in England, all ordinaries exercised jurisdiction by
the King's authority, in the isles of Garnesey and Jersey (members of
England, as he knew) the bp. of Constance, in Normandy, ordinary there,
bv his officers, attempted to exercise the ordinary jurisdiction by authority
of the bp. of Rome, and intended to repair thither himself for that
purpose. Desired him to prevent that enterprise; for the King would,
out of love for Francis, permit the said bishop to exercise the jurisdiction
34 HENRY VIII. 191
1542.
by his authority, as other English bishops did, but not otherwise. He
answered that he never heard of this before, and was sure his King had
not; but order should be taken. Further conversation (verbatim), begun
by Paget, in which the Admiral said his secretary wrote 'from Rochester,
at his arrival, and was expected back in two days. Paget asked whether
they had demanded reasonably or at the rate of the overture Francis made
to him. The Admiral said he could not tell : and was very unwilling to
speak, but sighed deeply. Then, hearing of the King's wakening, he
departed, saying that the bp. of Constance should attempt no novelties.
Hearing on Thursday night of the Admiral's secretary's arrival, repaired
to Court next morning, to the Admiral, who said he had spoken with his
master, and the bp. of Constance should be ordered to exercise jurisdiction
in the King's isles as other English bishops did, for he was sure! they
would be loth to have pardons from Rome there. Paget wished he might
see the day that pardons were as little set by here as in England. " ' Par
le corps Dieu," quod he, cholerickly, ' for my part I set nother by pardon
nor pope, et le Diable emporte et le Pape et tous les Papilions avecques.'
' Me thought ' (said I) ' that I saw even now your secretary that went
into England.' ' Yea, Mary ! ' quod he, ' he came home yesterday in the
morning.' ' What news? ' (quod I). ' What news ! ' (quod he) ' the things
be far asunder ; which I am sure you know.' ' I looked for none other '
(quod I) ' if you asked that was propounded to me ; but what was asked
and offered, I pray you? ' (quod I). 'There was offered' (quod he) ' three
hundred thousand crowns ; and what is that ? Howbeit, seeing the things
cannot go forward as we would, we shall remain* friends nevertheless, as
we were before.' " Paget said the offer was ten times more reasonable
than the demand: 300,000 cr. was as much as was ever offered with a
king's daughter to a king's second son, and reminded him of the agree-
ments with king Lewis, and for the Dolphin that dead is. The Admiral
answered that his master had said to him, " See you not this Pope, qui
nest quung petit prestre in comparison of the King my brother, so aud-
aceux as to send me word he was as great as Leo or Clement, and as well
able to marry his niece with the house of France as Clement was ; and if
that I would join with him he would give me three hundred thousand
crowns in ready money, and do somewhat else besides? And the King
my brother offereth me but as much, and that in such a sort as he shall
lie out never a penny for it." Pointed out that there was no comparison
between the King's friendship and the Bishop of Rome's, or between his
daughter and the Bishop's son's daughter, and that their ambassador had
demanded roundly the remission of the whole million, or else of 600,000
and the pension viager, which was too unreasonable. The Admiral said
he knew not what the ambassador asked, but he knew what he was com-
manded, and had sent his secretary with special instructions, but he
might not be1 admitted. Paget excused the Council for not admitting
him, and laid the blame upon the ambassador for not explaining the
nature of his mission. The secretary then came up and declared what had
been demanded and answered at length ; and then began " the discourse
of th' overture of war. ' Nay,' quod th' Admiral (secretary Bayarde stand-
ing by, for he had called him to Council a little before) ' the King is up,
I cannot tarry; tell the sum, what was their answer? ' 'Mary,' quod he,
' that they would in no wise make war with th' Emperor.' " Then, walk-
ing towards the Court, Paget defended this answer on the ground that
the French king had told him that, but for Henry's sake, he could wink
at any quarrels he had ; and the Admiral said he was sorry this matter
waq ever advanced, for he was sure he should " hear of it." Paget said he
wished that the pension had not been mentioned ; for now, when the King
192 34 HENRY Till.
1542,
328. PAGET to HENRY VIII.— cont.
expected some fruition of it, to see them go about to take it away was
enough to offend some princes. "We go not about to take it away'
(quod he), ' but to have him of his liberality to give it to his daughter.'
'Never speak of it ' (quod I) ' for it will never be.' " He said he was the
more sorry ; howbeit, the Kings would remain friends, as they did after
he failed to conclude at Calais with the duke of Norfolk and others, upon
a matter which was Henry's own overture to him ; and some other mean
might be devised. Gave him fair words and so departed.
Protests at some length that he has written everything truly, although
he wrote that the French king requested "some part" of the interest
and pension, and the French ambassador asked all ; and that the French
king and Admiral both promised to join someone with the ambassador,
and, shifting that overture, to send someone after another sort; and,
finally, that the Admiral made an overture of war which the ambassador
said was made by Paget to the French king. Had no communication of
war with the French king; and, also, the Admiral said it was the only
cause of "his secretary's going thither. Bears him as fair a face as ever,
for the sake of the King's affairs ; for he could not else " dissemble this
injury."
The French stand " like deer upon a laund," knowing not which way to
take; and, for a fortnight past, the common answer to the question of
what the King would do has been, " No man can tell, nor the King him-
self, until Neufchasteau come out of England, and then we shall know all."
They made sure of this marriage, and remission of arrears, and thus, in-
directly, of the King's aid against the Emperor; for, once, when Paget
said they could not make war because all the Almains were taken up for
the war against the Turk, the Admiral answered "Yes, yes, if we had
money enough we shall have men enough, and my master hath already
retained all the best captains of Almains." They half doubt Henry's
amity, and say that he is in great practice with the Emperor, who is send-
ing a bishop thither, with letters also from the Bishop of Rome, requesting
amity. Where they thought, under pretence of amity, to have obtained
the legacy of the daughter of Portugal, Mons. Bade, their ambassador
there, has laboured in vain, and is to be recalled. Mons. Montpesack is
gone into Gascoign, Mons. Gruneans to Provence, Mons. de Langey to
Piedmont, and the King had appointed himself to be here in Picardy.
Mons, de Longevale (who, the saying is, shall be Great Master) is gone
secretly to the duke of Cleves. He sent word that he was going to his
house (the town *on the Luxemburg frontier for which, Paget wrote, the
Emperor demanded homage), and carried 20,000 crs. for the fortifications
there, but the money was really to entertain horsemen. 1,000 light horse
are appointed to Piedmont, where Mons. St. Juliano has already 3,000
Swiss, and Count Guliaulme is to bring 8,000 Almains. Mons. de Brysack
shall command all the footmen there, and Dannebault shall be lieutenant-
general, whose train starts to-morrow, and himself follows in post.
The French king sent the Turk word that he would enter the war this
year, by Polino, who is at Venice with Janus Bey, the Turkish ambassador,
having escaped a scouring by the Imperials, who took two French gentle-
men going by water from Turin to Padua for study, and, thinking one of
them was Polino, tied stones to their necks and threw them into the
water. f In Piedmont, a French courier going to their ambassador at
Venice was lately untrussed and his packet broken, and a courier of the
Emperor, coming towards Flanders, trussed and his packets broken, and
1,000 crs. taken from him.

What he writes of the appearance of war is known to all here ; but the
" sudden defect " of this treaty may alter things. Yonder Bishop of Rome
ceases not to practise, and has now sent his secretary, De Monte Pulcia.no,
into Spain ; to return by this Court, where he is looked for daily. The
Emperor's ambassador talked a great while with the King, after Neufchas-
teau caine out of England. The countenances of both were displeasant.
Afterwards the ambassador talked with the Admiral, and again on Friday,
the occasion being, apparently, the return of a post sent by the ambas-
sador to Milan, upon these " brusleryes " in Piedmont. The post sent at
the same time into Spain has not returned. In Piedmont, Guasto has
prepared many footmen for Hungary.
The Bishop of Rome fortifies Parma and Placenza, and all the sea coast,
for fear of the Turk, whose ambassador has obtained from the Venetians
the passage for horsemen. Saw this in letters from Rome, and it is con-
firmed by captain Turchetto and Mons. de Scenez,f brother to the bailiff
of Troyes, who have arrived from Maran, and are much made of, especially
De Chenez,t who was banished, and is now restitutus in integrum. Signor
Ascanio de Colonna, suspected of practice with the French, is deprived of
his state in Naples, and his son put in his place. Dr. Volmer has arrived
with a wagon load of presents from the Palantynes, one being a valuable
dock, and another certain armour. A gentleman of the king of Sweden
reports that three ambassadors are coming from his master, who desires
to enter the leagfue with the French king and the king of Denmark.
Stephanus de Colonna, a captain who was in grand credit with the French
king, and a knight of his Order, has joined the Emperor, and is appointed
lieutenant for the wars in Florence, Senes and Luke, and is at Florence
with the Duke. The letters from Rome stated that the Bishop offered a
General Council at Metz or Canibray, but the Turk's coming dashed it.
The King's journev to Jenville is stayed, and the duke of Guise, who
went home to prepare for it, returned. The King's course now depends
upon others. He has great practices in Italy, and certain gentlemen ( f
Milan have lately suffered death, suspected of conspiracy. Lacks means
of learning news, one Laplanche, a Frenchman with whom he had in-
telligence in Cleves and here, being sent into Cleveland after De Longe-
vale. He said his dispatch was only to report the state of affairs with
England.
Was ready to close this letter, when the servant whom he sent to
remind the Admiral of the bishop of Constance's matter brought word
that the Admiral desired a memorial of what was to be written. Thinking
that strange, went this morning to the Admiral, who asked what need
there was to advertise the bishop, since, if he offended the laws, Henry
could deprive him. Replied that the laws extended to the death of such
as maintained the usurped power of the bishop of Rome, and as this was
a prelate of France, Henry would be loth to have occasion to use that
extremity against him. Delivered a memorial for General Bayard to make
the despatch upon, so that they should not forget or say afterwards that
Paget had not spoken of it. Encloses copy of the memorial, which he put
in Latin that they should take no advantage of him in French. If the
French king write it as it is devised he shall openlv, as hitherto he has
tacite, approve Henry's doings against the bp. of Rome. The Admiral
said his ^master would shortly replace Marillac by one of the Grand
Council ; who was not yet appointed, but should be one well affected to
Henry. Villemorien, 15 May, 9 p.m. Signed.

329. GARDINER to SOUTHAMPTON, BROWNE and SADLER.
Was yesterday with the ambassadorf from 2 o'clock until 8, and
found him wonderful gflad that he has new letters, whereupon to have
access to the King. He showed his commission, signed and sealed in
solemn form, to conclude articles of " defension offension, confirmation
of old treaties, amplyfying or adding unto the same;" saying he had
ample instruction to conclude anything reasonable. Asked what
he meant by reasonable, he said he meant matters not " of
greater weight than he could think on as yet." Found him very
desirous to "devise." He said the matter talked of before the arrival
of these letters was but a cold matter — to have old treaties confirmed.
Christendom was vexed " with dissension of the Emperor and the French
king," and, by the latter's procurement, infested with the Turk. In this
tragedy, the Kin? had hitherto looked on. It must end either by agree-
ment or force. If by force, then, if the Turk prevail he shall confound
all ; if the French kinsr he will " still search new trouble " ; if the Emperor
he shall be thought too great. And if by agreement; in such agree-
ments, such as have been neuter are not always well provided for. The
King needed neither the amity of the Emperor nor of the French king ;
but a prince so endowed by God with riches and wisdom should use them
for the pacification of Christendom, and so win renown of the world, and
reward of God; and, joining with the Emperor, who takes him as his
father, he should be called the father of Christendom. Gardiner asked
if he meant the King to enter war against Franco. He said he meant
that the King and the Emperor conjoined should bring the French
king to reason, " or else war to ensue." Said the King had no cause of
war. He replied that the detaining 'of his money was cause enough,
besides the using it to trouble Christendom and the soliciting the Turk's
invasion to the common danger; but if the King and Emperor join,
having with them in the quarrel against the Turk all Germany and
Spain, the French king shall 'not dare to continue obstinate. He reckons
the King's authority alone shall quiet all ; and would have the Turk the
principal matter, so 'as to allure the world, and " other covenants " made
" upon what points they should proceed to an hostility with France and,

after hostility, upon what articles to take peace," with provision in
case the Scot or Denmark move against the King. He added that, for
assurance cf the pension, the King should have Bolen, Ardre, Muttrel,
and Turwyn. And thus the King of Romayns should be brought out of
misery, Germany delivered from the Turk, the duke of Savoy restored,
all Christendom relieved and the 'dread of England quickened in the
Frenchmen's hearts. And he "concluded that it lieth now in the King's
Highness' hands to make the world new again." Replied that all this
was honorable, but costly. He answered that, unless too much blinded,
fear of worse would cause the French king to agree ; and even war would
cost the King little more than he now spent upon fortifications, for all
would contribute; interposing his authority, the King would obtain the
money now due to him in France; whereas the French used his neutrality
to retain the pension, and practise with Scotland and Denmark for the
means to annoy him if he should ask it. Said that, if earnestly asked,
it would not be refused. He answered that " to such a realm as England
is, which pretendeth title unto them," the French would never continue
paying money unless for fear, and, to prove that they did not mean good
faith, the French king excused himself at Rome, " that he practiseth with
the King's Majesty only to interrupt such practise as was between the
King's Highness and th' Emperor."
He added other reasons too long to write, and, concluding, asked how
Gardiner liked it. Answered that he wished the King and Emperor
conjoined to both their satisfactions and the benefit of Christendom. He
said God had offered this occasion, and 'asked whether he should, to the
King, mention Gardiner's being with him. Told him it was best nay,
" considering I had had no commission to talk with him." " He noted
much unto me the chance of our meeting, our communication, his desire
of new letters, and the arrival of them in this opportunity; for he saith
he hath been so much suspect of merchandise that, without new letters
and th' Emperor's own commission, he should with much fear have re-
paired to the King's Highness, to whom, for the great wisdom he seeth
in him, he beareth as great a reverence as if he were his natural sovereign
[lojrd; and yet how good and affable the King's Majesty is to confer
with if the matter be not over untoward, and yet in all matters, of
what sort soever they have been, he hath had no cause to complain."
Has here touched the points of their communication, — briefly, but at
more length than need be reported to the King. Stepney, Wednesday

[18 May.] 331. HOBT. SWYFTE, the Younger, to [the EARL OF SHREWS-
BURY].*
On Monday, 15 May, Lady Northumberland presented a bill to
the King at Greenwich complaining that she had 'no living from the
lands of her late husband. He heard her very gently, and "bowed
down upon his staff unto her, and said, ' Madam, how can your ladyship
desire any living of your husband's lands, seem? vour fatherf gave no
money to your husband in marriage with 'your ladyship, or what think
you that I should do herein ? ' And she answered, ' What shall please
your Grace.' He answered again and said, ' Madam, I marvel greatlv
that my lord, your father, being so great a wise man as he was, would
see no direction taken in this matter in his time. Howbeit, Madam, we
wolle be contented to refer the matter unto our Council." He then
spoke for some time with the bp. of Durham and Sir Anthony Browne,
and gave the bp. the bill. At his return the lady besought him to be
good and gracious to her, to which he answered, "We wolle."
Mr. Watley's matter was debated on Tuesday, 9 May, and Mrs. Watley
refused the arbitration proposed by Mr. Beaumonte on Shrewsbury's
behalf. She said she would put a bill to .the King at his coming to
Detfourthe, or enter Jier action at the Common Law, but he cannot
perceive that she has done either. Mr. Pollerte "has entered into the
new dyete that no man ca.n speak with him for no matters." On Wednes-
day, 17th, went with Mr. Brewerton and Mr. Beaanonte before my lord St.
John for the arrearages of the 1007. He said he could do nothing as
the earl had all the particulars of the lands, which lord Braye sold to
the King, and, if they were not worth 100Z. a year, he must take his
remedy at lady Breye's hands. The Earl's counsel has also met the
counsel of the Earl of Oxford about certain lands. Cannot get the
matter in the Exchequer settled. Has paid the subsidy. Has obtained
a letter from Sir Thos. 'Pope to Mr. Waren about the wood at Farn-
ham, but the auditor has sold great part thereof. Cannot say whether
it is requisite for any one to come up to attend on my lady of North-
umberland till my lord of Durham and Mr. Browne be spoken with,

R- O. Soon after the receiver De Chasteauneuf departed with Marillac's
K(Almost the ^ast despatch °f tn® 6th, this King returned from Dover, ha,ving con-
whole text.) tented himself with seeing the fortifications on this side, without cross-
ing the sea> as he would nave done had not too many people discovered
his project. But, he sent for M. Wallop, captain of Guynes, with whom
he held important communications (propos de consequence) which, with
some other signs, presage more ill than good. Among other things, he
questioned Wallop how tar the work of Ardres was advanced, and whether
he thought it could be easily forced. Wallop answered that indeed it
was a strong thing, if the work was allowed to be finished, but it was not
so diligently proceeded with but that it might, for some time yet, be
taken. In conclusion, this King commanded the work commenced at
Guynes to be hastened, so that they might in time speak with those of
Ardres, and see if they could be as successful as the Burgundians formerly
were. Two personages who were present have severally confirmed this ;
and everyone presupposes that he is indignant at the rebuilding of Ardres.
Moreover, since Marillac's last despatch, Winchester (as good an Im-
perialist as bad Frenchman), the man to whom intrigues are commonly
deputed, is come to stay in the fields at a little house adjoining that of
the Emperor's ambassador, where they can communicate at all hours,
as they are said to do daily. Cannot but think they are brewing some-
thing to Francis's disadvantage, for Winchester .would not have left the
fino places he has, both in town and in the fields, near tne King's houses,
unless he had charge to frame some intrigue with the said ambassador,
who, through indisposition, cannot leave his lodging. Although Eng-
lish designs are commonly kept so secret that they can only be under-
stood by conjecture, Marillac hears from a good place that this King
speaks of undertaking the protection of the Emperor's Low Countries,
and lending a great sum for the enterprise against the Grand Seigneur
in Hungary upon receiving possession of certain towns of the Low
Countries. Their pretext for the great loan of which Marillac wrote is
partly this and partly the recovery of the pensions, which, they say, are
due to them in France. Some .presume that these great exactions are
intended to impoverish the people that they may not easily rebel. This

King, having taken away all the great lords of the blood, who could
take the lead (faire teste) and collected in one place the treasures which
were dispersed among the churches, it only, remains to clip the wings of
the private [people] to keep them from flying. For, after a general tax
which, , a year ago, every one paid without exception, at the ra,te of a
shilling in the pound, they are constrained now to lend some a fourth
part of their goods, many a third and some a half, so that in London
alone this loan will amount to 500,000 cr., or 600,000 cr., and for the
whole realm the sum will exceed what other Kings of England, however
pressed, have exacted. In any case such massing of finances makes people
think of some design of war, although there is no great appearance that
it should be openly against France, especially as the naval preparations
(equipage de mer) are discontinued, and left half finished, and there is
no mention of levying men .or making ready ; unless it be the making pro-
vision beforehand, of which Marillac has several times written. There
is nothing more to write, except that two gentlemen of this Court are
sent as ambassadors* to the King of Scotland, and departed eight or ten
days ago in all haste.

R. O. On the 15th, met Oneil and other Irish captains of the North.
St 3^1 m Among them was Maguillem, whose ancestors came from Wales, who is
grown as Irish as the worst and adhered to Oneil in the late conflict. He
humbly desires pardon. His country lying far from the Pale, he had to
adhere to some Irishmen for defence against others, and he confesses that
no captain of his name has died in his bed, but all slain by Irishmen.
His country adjoins the Ban, where all the salmon fishing is, and his
obedience will improve the fishing.
Declared to Oneil that, since he had offended more than any other
Irishman, he must wholly submit to the King's order or the King would
make him a spectacle to all other Irishmen. He answered that he would
wholly submit; and that answer being read to him, three or four times,
set his hand and seal to it with the best words possible, if Irishmen's
words could be trusted. Has drawn Oneil's chief strength, being his
galloglas, to the King's service by promising them a waste country called
Mourne, containing one old castle called Green Castle. Has the captain
McDonell's chief son in pledge for this and for the articles he has con-
descended to (copy enclosed). They are 400 or 500 men harnessed, who
are bound to serve under certain conditions (stated). Made the captain
confess in presence of Oneil that he would never serve him or any other
Irishman against the King. No man ever saw Oneil so tractable : he will
be at next session of Parliament here, and will repair to the King, or
send his eldest son. Thinks he would go himself if he had money.
Parliament begins here on Monday sevennight after Trinity Sunday.
Expects Desmond on Saturday next to tarry here till his repair to Eng«

to HENRY VIII.
St. P., 'is. Yesterday, assembled to consider together how to proceed with the
40.' ambassador,! and then repaired to his house. He read to them letters
from the Emperor's ambassador at Rome, showing how the bishop of
Rome practised to apree the Emperor and French king, and how (the
Bishop said") the French king would gladly hear his overtures, but he
(the Bishop) would first know the Emperor's pleasure. The letters were
of the 5th April, since which time the Emperor made his answer, as the
ambassador reported upon receipt of his last letters from the Emperor.
The letters further stated that a marriage between the old duke of Savoy
and the bp. of Rome's niece, Pier Leys' daughter,! was about to take
effect. These news read, the writers proponed "th* article of secrecy
and abstinence from giving ear to other treaties." He could not agree
to it as it stood, for his instructions were to condescend to one, two, four,
or six months, and he dare not consent to any time uncertain; but if
they concluded shortly, as he hoped they should, the article would be
unnecessary, or else the article might be sent to my lord of London, and
passed there; he himself thought a certain time better for both, consider-
ing the distance of places to be such that advertisement might be delayed
longer than one month. He made much ado at the word " spiritual!,"
saying the thing meant by it should be inviolably observed, and offering

himself to be sworn against the bp. of Kome, but " our enemies," he said,
might pick out such words if written, " to bring in our neck the bishop of
Rome." Finally, however, he said, he would venture the word if the time
were limited to months, and desired to lay by that article, which he
trusted " should not need," and consider the substance of the matter.
Told him it was a necessary article, but they would commune
with him further; and said Henry would, with his Council, devise
upon the " quantity and manner of defence," and that
Ireland was left out to answer the leaving out of
Spain. At this he be?an to accuse his negligence, saying that, "since
our being with him " he had found in his instructions, which are in cipher,
that Spain is specially named, and must be comprehended; and spoke
much therein. Suppose he will not stay thereat ; but, because they have
not agreed in the article of abstinence from treating and secrecy, did not
press him, and fashioned the articles more slackly, lest he should gather
a resolution here to go forth with him, and so make the better bargain.
In the naming of Spain, if they had not gathered that he would relent,
they would have made another stay of communication, but they went on
to speak of the pension, and what provision the Emperor should make for
their indemnity in it. To this he made a " serious answer," that it was
reason to capitulate that the Emperor should join the King for the
recovery of that right, with arrears, as the King joins the Emperor for
recovery of his rights, peace* to be taken only with the satisfaction of
both ; that joining the Emperor and making war did not impair Henry's
right to the pension, the French not having kept payment, for war was
the court of princes wherein rights were determined, and, upon the con-
clusion of peace, the French king should both pay the arrears and renew the
obligation upon terms to be prescribed in this treaty; that the French
would never pay even if they could find it in the highway, for French-
men have said in his presence that to pay one penny of it would be
to lose 1,000 cr. for one, and Henry has himself told him that
the amity with the Emperor is his surest bond for it; at the
treaty of Windsor (which the writers objected) the Emperor found
Henry in po>ssession of the payment, and, in procuring him to war,
could not but promise the payment, but now Henry was not so in
possession, no doubt the French would promise to pay, and agree to any-
thing, but all that was not payment; it were a hard condition for the
Emperor to search here for increa.se of strength and, at the outset,
undertake payment of his enemy's debt. After much communication on
both sides, the ambassador came to this, that to make any provision for
the pension, otherwise than to join indifferently for the recovery of their
rights, ,he has no power ; and he thinks the Emperor would not agree to
it.
Then, having spent the afternoon, took occasion to break off and
report the matter moved, omitting their speeches and other "bye-
speech" with/ the ambassador, as not material. Stepney, 25 May.

R> Ot 2. Remembrances to the King's Council.
To know whether the shutting of the gates " nightly and morningly "
shall be committed to the mayor or me. Meanwhile I have appointed
one of my men to do it. The King appointed a master gunner to have
the oversight here and at Pawle. Are his wages to continue ? And also
those of the rest of the gunners? An overseer seems necessary; and he
says there may be no less than 12 gunners. The King commanded Dr.
Stephens, a doctor of physic, to reside here ; and he accordingly removed
hither from York with his wife and necessaries. He desires to know
whether he shall remain or depart, and what he shall have for his service
here ; for he has been at great charge, and has had nothing, and is very
honest and willinsf. Who shall exercise the offices Mr. Long had here ;
for, by my commission, I have nothing to do in them but for the levying
of men if required. The bp. of York has commanded the men of Beverley
not to suffer the clerk of the market of the King's house to exercise his
office there ; and, if the orders, measures and prices used there be suffered,
the victuallers of Hull will remove thither. I enclose a letter from the
bishop's treasurer to his deputy at Beverley. I perceive the King's
pleasure that I should lie in his manor here, but the chambers are so
great that 'all my poor implements will not furnish one of them. Also
my wife is with child, and thinks to be delivered about Michaelmas, and
in such a cold house she should be in great danger. Meanwhile I have
appointed the master gunner to lie there. The house I purchased at the
South End here is ready for me, where most of the King's ordiance lies
before the door, bent upon the haven.
The King appointed Thos. Abed to be chief constable of the castle
here, which was his chief living. And, as you write that the whole
garrison should be discharged, save me and my company and those
engaged on the works here, I desire to know whether he shall have his
fee still ; for he has of £he paymaster only Qd. a day for himself and his
clerk, and is very honest and fit to serve in such a place. Signed:

360. [HENRY VIII. to BONNER.]
We have received the letters addressed unto us by Sir Henry
Knevet, gentleman of our Chamber, and perceive "your sundry dis-
courses with Mons. de Grandefvela] and finally the [dispatch]
sent to th' Emperor's ambassador [here
re]sident," which was immediately delivered to him. Where-
upon, he had audience upon Ascension Bay,* and "we showed our self
of such inclination as he had [cause] to [be consented, and presently
appointed to treat with him our tr. and w. counsellors the bishops of
Duresme, , Winchester, and Westminster; to whom we gave in all points
as large commission as he had received from th' Emperor; after whose
travail with him by the space of one [sevenni]ght, for the more
speedy conclusion [of the] matter," we caused both him and them to
repair hither to Hampton Court, and lodged him as appertained. After
Wij had " discoursed apart with him, both touching the state of us, hia
master and the world, and what was in every branch and degree to le
considered, we referred him to his treaty with our said counsellors, who
conceived such [ar]ticle[s]f fo[r the] further acceleration of the matter
dfevised] certain articles in form of treaty," copy herewith, and com-
municated it to him, and his answers are " totted " upon every article. As
we could grow to no conclusion, albeit we " came for our part to more
than reason," we explicate to you the reasons made on our part, to be
expressed there, with " such other as [you can] of your wisdom add to
them [for] our commodity and purpose."
First, in the article of comprehension of countries for defence ad
expensas prestantis he would include Spain, whereas we would have left
Spain and Ireland within the compass of aid granted by our old treaties
ad expensas requirentis.; but this he would not be content with unless
we left out Calais, Guisnes, and the marches. Pointed out that Spain
was four times as big as England ; that whereas the Low Countries might
aid us with small charge, Spain was so far off and so large that to attempt
to aid it would consume a prince's treasure and weary his people fruii>
lessly; and to leave out Calais and Guisnes, [whi]ch had ever been com-
prehended, was, unless they thought that the firing of their neighbour's
house could not damage them, altogether unreasonable. Came then to the
articles of the entry into the war, and we desired, "where we be now in
peace and at that p[oi]nt with [the Fren]chem[en] that they deny us
not our [pension], but grant the debt, and daily seek ways and means
how to see us thereof satisfied," that, entering the war for the Emperor's
benefit, and so losing the arrears, 1,352,000 cr., and percase the pension,
and consuming great treasure in the war and the defence of the Scottish
border, the Emperor should make like bond of indemnity of the pension,
as he did in the treaty of Windsor, the copy of which bond we send
herewith. Here the ambassador seemed to make the case indifferent,

" as though we had as great a cause to enter the war for the recovery of
that which is not denied unto us, by the which entry we should also
consume innumerable treasure, being already in our possession, as he
who is daily so assaulted and infested by the Turk and the Frefnch king]
as it is not unlike but, unless he look groundly and shortly to the redress
and stay of it, it may turn him to ail extreme loss and displeasure." But
we, to abridge matters and show ourselves more to regard the quiet of
Christendom and defence of our old friend, neither stood upon the pre-
cedent nor the causes which should more enforce the like now than before,
nor upon the expense to be sustained in this war, but descended to the
overture that if the Emperor " would be bound, at the day prefixed, to
invade the said French king in such plaice as he should think for his
most commodity with th' army preffixed we for our part would] be bound
to do the [sembljable in the parts of Picardy."

361. CHARLES V. and HENRY VIII.
Draft treaty between Charles V. and Henry VIII. to the follow-
ing effect : — 1. That all past unkindness be forgotten, and neither prince,
during their lives, make any treaty to the prejudice of the other; any
promise to the contrary, which may haive passed either of them to be
void, as repugnant to the former leagues between them. 2. Neither
prince, upon any pretext, be it at the request of any prince, state or
potentate, temporal or spiritual, or otherwise, shall recede from this
present treaty. 3. Neither prince shall make any treaty or truce with
France, "if they shall enter war against the same," without the other's
consent.
The preamble states that (" where th' office and duty of every Christian
king, prince and potentate," require them to maintain Christ's religion,
and withstand such as would annoy it), the King of England is certified,
by his ally, Charles V., and .otherwise, that the Turk makes great pre-
parations this year against Christendom, and the French king, who has
had the name of " Most Christian king," aids him. The said Emperor
and King of England, to stay the French king from this abomination
(who', relying on the Turk's friendship, withholds from each of them
certain rights, and inheritances), think it necesssary, although already in
amity, to enter a more strait amity, ," which we A. be (sic), etc.,
sufficiently authorised by the commission of the said most noble King of
England, and I, Chapuis, &c., sufficiently, etc., have by virtue of our com-
missions [the tenor whereof ensueth]* concluded in manner and form
following."

363. CHAPUYS to MARY OF HUNGARY.*
Spanish As he wrote in his letter of Easter Eve,f went to Hampton Court,
VI H. No*.' 9. wnere during, the first four days of his stay he had several audiences of
the King, in pursuance of her commands, touching the treaty of closatr
alliance. But as no instructions have yet come, either from her or from
the Emperor in JSpain, desires them urgently. Not having received the
private ones promised by the Emperor in his letter of 3 AprilJ — in which,
moreover, reierence was made to another and fuller set of instructions to
come by way ,of Flanders — she may conceive the awkward position in
which he is placed. Believes that if either set of instructions had come to
hand the King would have met him half way, for he is wise, and very well
disposed to make common cause with the Emperor. Indeed, he now
seems willing to risk his throne and life to avert ruin from Christendom.
Tiie French do not actually refuse to pay their debt to him, which they
would the moment they heard he ,had made alliance with the Emperor.
For want of the private instructions promised by the Queen, has not been
able to advance a step. Has done his best to show the King and his
ministers their need of the Emperor's alliance, but has only been able. to
obtain from him a general declaration of the help he would afford in an
invasion of French territory, viz., 3,000 foot and as many horse. At tha
present, juncture it would be a great thing if he would join his forces at
Calais, Guisnes, etc., with ours. Thinks, moreover, it would be well to
accept his offers at once, without looking too closely into the articles, for
when he takes a fancy for a,person or a thing he goes the whole way, and
once he is engaged in the conquest of France there will be plenty of
opportunities of modifying the articles. Urges strongly despatch and
* This letter is dated 7 June in the margin of the Spanish Calendar, although
the Editor says the original is undated. It must certainly have been written before
Chapuys crossed to Brussels, and apparently was meant for show, as later letters seem
to indicate. See No. 441, p. 251, and No. 442, p. 254. t Meaning Whiisun Eve, 27 May.
$ Apparently the letter of 3 May is intended, wiiick was forwarded by Queen Mary
on the 21 May (see Nos. 233 and 339).

goodness, show himself ready to redubb his past offences than seek to
withdraw from his duty, to the evil example of others. Refers him to
the Deputy, who will dispense with him in cases reasonable. Hampton

honestly since his submission, not seeking to revenge himself upon his
neighbours, amd submitting, at Dundalk, wholly ^to the King's order.
The killing of his eldest son, Phelim Kegh, by McDonell, captain of his
galloglasses, since the first submission, bred some displeasure, wliich the
writers utilised to draw the galloglasses from him, as appears by
McDonell's submission (enclosed). Ask the King's pleasure touching
McDonell's petition for Green Castle and Mourne.

certain as yet, but have good hope " that the end will be better if the
thing begun be well ensued." Could appoint learned men to reside at
Limerick, Galway, and those confines, if they knew what allowance the
King would make them. Recommend that the stipends of the judges

Thomond, care should be taken to satisfy Donogh O'Brien, senescall of
Thomond, by placing him too in Parliament as a viscount. ,
None of the Council were participant with Coweley in his malicious
proceedings, and their certificate sent thither against him did not pro-
ceed of malice. As to altering the seals to suit the change in the King's

impressions ,in wax that the seals may be graven there. Tyrrelogh
Othole's children are bastards, as they before certified, and therefore are
not Kis heirs, and so the Chancellor stays to act upon the last article of
the King's letters until he receive further instructions. Recommend some
help to be given to Desmond, who now repairs to see the King. Com-

(Full
abstract.)
His last of the 20th ult. reported intrigues brewing between Win-
chester and the Emperor's ambassador; which have since continued, in-
somuch that other, lords of the Privy Council have been there, and at
Whitsuntide the said ambassador, ill as he is, had himself carried by
water to Hampton Court to the King, and there was lodged with his troop
for five days in the King's house, with whom he had long communications.
He was caressed, not as/ an ordinary ambassador, but like some great
minister of the Emperor coming to conclude ,an affair of importance.
Meanwhile it was hinted to Marillac (in order to learn what he thought,
and thereupon to lull him to sleep with fine words) that if a personage
of authority had come instead of the receiver De Chasteauneul',
other language would have been held here about the
marriage. Said only that if any of the deputies spoke of
it they would find he had an answer ; which would be that if things were
brought near a conclusion Francis would not break the practice by failing
to send a sufficient personage, as he (Marillac) had promised at the first
overture in the North. Thinks their instance to have a great personage
sent was to increase their reputation with the Emperor, in that, although
so actively sought, they would not accept the partis, offered ; for, if they
had as good will to join as they pretended, they would not have made
instance there (i.e., in France), for the despatch of a personage, upon
pretext that they wished to enter war with the Emperor and conclude
the treaty of this marriage, and then afterwards disavowed what their
ambassador had put forward, and given Marillac even, a more meagre
answer.* Thinks now that they are trying to make the Emperor enter war
with Francis, and such is the opinion of those who almost know their
designs, and who promise in a few days to let Marillac hear particulars of
these secret intrigues. Madame Marie said, eight days ago, to a damsel
of her chamber, now married to a French subject, that it was folly to
think that they would marry her out of England, or even in England, as
long as her father lived ; adding that she knew what had been said of it,
* This passage is a little obscure. The reading in the transcript is : — " Car, s'ilz
eussent autant de 'voulente de joindre qu'ilz en monstroient le semblant par taut
de belles parolles, dont ilz faisoient sy bon marche, ilz n'eussent faict instance par
dela qu'on depeschast personnaige expres de vostre part, Sire, soubz pretexts qu'ilz diseut

mariage, pour apres desavouer ( ?) ce que leur ambassadeur avoit propose et me rendre

both on Francis's part and the Emperor's, and was sure that if either
was listened to it would be France, because they would rather acquit
all that could be due to them than disburse 200,000 cr. elsewhere ; but
it was certain that nothing would be got from them but fine words, for
she would be, while ,her father lived, only lady Mary, the most un-
happy lady in Christendom.
Taking things at their worst, it remains only to' write whether the
English might intend anything this year to Francis's prejudice. Can as yet
give no certain assurance ; for, on the one hand, it looks as if for this year
they are not going to move unless the Emperor were to come sooner into
Flanders (as they practise to draw him thither, for they will innovate
nothing unless supported elsewhere), especially as this summer, which is
far advanced, their naval preparations are not yet finished, and it does
not appear, besides, that men are being raised ; on the other hand,- if they
meant any evil exploit there is no preparation for war which might
not be ready within one month. In 15 or 20 days this King will resolve
upon his progress, and the direction he takes will show what is this year
intended.
Since writing the above, is informed from divers places that, two hours
ago, the Emperor's ambassador, gouty as he is, embarked in a ship which
had been secretly prepared, to go into Flanders, for which the wind is
very propitious. It must be for some important intrigue. Would des-
patch an express with this news, but does not wish the English to know
that it is taken to heart. Besides, he reserves that until he can learn
more particularly what the English are aiming at; but Francis should
provide against surprise on the frontiers. Marked as. sent by Ferrand.

He would give security here for the money, and send one or both his sons
to your Majesty ; as, I esteem, his letters sent herewith will certify. If
you minded to displease the Bishop, the Count is a meet instrument,
having great faction about Plainsance and Parma and the Bishop
in universal hate of the country. The Bishop makes 4,000 footmen at
Bonony, to go to Hungary under Alex. VitelU. To Piedmont are come
400 men of arms, 6,000 Gascons, 2,000 Swiches, and 6,000 Italians ; and
the French ambassador says that his master shall shortly have a numerous
host in Italy. The Turk's ambassador here seems to be waiting to see
what the French will do. " It hath been here much divulged of the
affinityj concluded between your Majesty and the French king." By
letters from Ahnain, war affairs go forward. The Christian host shall
number 120,000. Ferdinando goes in person to Buda, which men reckon

the Turk will make invincible. This contention between Christians and
Turks threatens no small ruin to one of the parties. The Turks, by long
use of arms, are grown in military science nothing vulgar, and they are
united and adore their Prince like a God. " In the other part, it is un-
doubtful what great might and virtue military is in th' Almains, and
especially in the footmen, which are reputed insuperable by battle; but
in soberness and good government they are not comparable to Spaniards
or Italians, which were much necessary among them." Their factions are
very pernicious, but their peril will keep them together. Venice, 3 June

4 June. 376. JOHN ALEN, CHANCELLOR OF IRELAND, to HENRY VIII.
Has not written privately to the King for a long season, but as the
oldest English servant here, having, served four been years, thinks it his
dutv to advertise matters of moment. Oneyle's submission is not to be
trusted, and the Council here should keep an eye on both him and
Ochonour. Desmond's ancestor had occasion to rebel. He is of English
blood, and a wise man, and is going to the King to seek for mercy and
grace, and will doubtless meet with more than he deserves. But the King
should be careful not, " in clouds," to give him great things by the name
of small, such as Crom and Athdare, which he desires as worth 20 mks.,
but which are worth ^200 mks. It were best to give him abbey lands on
his frontier next to Irishmen, or nigh to Dublin. Other advice as regards
Desmond.
Now that the great potentates Oneyle, Obrene, Odonell, and Me William
have submitted, returns to the string; he has always harped upon, and
recommends strongly the reformation of Leinster, where the Cavenaghis,
Birnes, and Tholes inhabit ; which Lwere better left desolate to feed wild

6 June. 381. WALLOP to SOUTHAMPTON.
R> °- Wrote, 4 June to Norfolk, reckoning him then to be at Court
(and, if absent, to Southampton) news, for the King, that a great part of
the men of arms now upon the borders of Picardy were ordered towards
Lyons, including half of Mons. du Bies' band under Mons. de Vervin as
lieutenant and Loveringhen as standard bearer, that it was thought that
Du Bies himself should go; and that Wallop had sent out espials.
The espial he sent to Arde reports that, on Saturday last, a post came
from the court to Du Bies, who sent him on with letters to the captain
of Arde to discharge 500 of the labourers and certain tumbrels, and pro-
claim that every inhabitant of Arde should within 14 days furnish himself
* L:lanfair ym Mhuallt, commonly called Builth.

with victuals for three months. Du Bies goes to Court, and intends to
be within 14 days at Arde. The Frenchmen mistrust the Emperor's
wars, fearing that the King will join him. Learns otherwise that the
French king ,much more mistrusts the coming of the Emperor's self into
Provaunce or Piemounte, and has sent Mons. de Honybaul, with light
horse, to Tourryn, and Mons. de Brysacke with 10,000 foot towards
Lyonnes. Mons. Dorliaunce will lie in Dolphenie, and the king of
Na,varre in Gasconne. The French king intends to be at Lyons at the
end of this month, and, on 1 July, muster his 200 gentlemen pensioners
" with divers other of his household, as carvers, cupbearers, sewers, as all
other officers according to their degrees."
Another espial, sent to Waste, Davern, Samer de Bois, and Mustrull,
brings word that there go towards the Mountains, " from Abbevile up-
ward to Parys," 3,000 horsemen, part new made and part from the
garrisons. None of Du Bies's band go, but the half of them is come to
Mustrull and the other half remains at Boulogne. There is no talk of
his going to Court, but much of the discharge of the labourers and
tumbrels out of Arde. The bruit was that the Burgundians intend war,
but they care not, if England remain their friend, of which they are
doubtful because of the great' bruit in France thai the Emperor's son
should marry the lady Mary. The Emperor prepares a great number
cf horsemen in Flanders and on the borders of Italy another great number
of horse and foot; insomuch that at Paris they have "sowned the
tamberyn," and from thence upward to Lyons, go horse and foot. The
provost of Paris and his band is gone from Tyrwan towards the Moun-
tains, and another band come in his place. I think that, if they mis-
trusted the Burgundians, he would not depart."
Begs favour for his servant Calveley, the bearer, " which is the young
man that your Lordship did like so well for his diligent waiting, who
since his first coming to me never gave cause to me hitherto to be angry
with him, having as many good qualities as any few men in England of
his age, and at this hour one of the towardliest men of arms in England or
elsewhere." He desires a letter in his favour to the dean of West
Chester for a lease given him by the late prior, which will aid his living,
he being a poor younger brother.
The works between St. Peter's and Calais progress slowly for lack of
oversight. The labourers have been seen in "plompis," 10 or 12 together,
loitering, and the clerks absent. Showed this to the King at Dover, who
said Mr. Treasurer would see to it; who is "a good man, wise and dis-
creet," but much occupied. Suggests a letter to the Council there to take
the oversight in turns, and have two of the men of arms there daily.

^e Emperor's ambassador, because of contrary wind, landed
twenty miles from this, and was conducted in a litter, by a troop of
gentlemen of this King's house, to Dover ; .from whence he crossed escorted
by two ships to Gravelingnes. The cause of his vovage is so variously
interpreted ,that it is hard to learn the truth, but the common opinion
is that the marriage of the Emperor and Madame Marie is almost con-
cluded, for 300,000 cr., which was the dot of her mother Queen Katharine,
and 200,000 cr. added by the King, her father. Pending1 the consum-
mation of this. marriage (for the Emperor is vet in Spain) this 500,000 cr.
shall be disbursed, and certain towns of Flanders bound for it until
this treaty takes effect or the money is restored. The ambassador went
to communicate with the Queen of Hungary, and to know if the towns
would consent. For himself, .Marillac thinks that such a loan might be
made, and the pretext 6f this marriage added to draw the consent of the
towns; but nothing could persuade him that the lady is to be delivered
to the Emperor and leave England during her father's lifetime. Besides
difficulties which he has before specified (this King having often said that
Marillac might count him demented if he let the Emperor have his
daughter), Norfolk, at their last interview, in answer to Marillac's
question whether there was hope for Mons. d'Orleans, said that he knew
his master to be more inclined to it than his Council, and that, at all
events, the Emperor should never have her. Persons of good wit, who
have frequented the great men of this Court all their lives, are of the
same opinion, and think all these intrigues meant only to draw the
Emperor into war with France ; and there is some appearance of likeli-
hood in this, for, since the shipwreck of Arger, the English have sought
the Emperor more than ever, for fear that the rout he had and the failure
of his enterprises might make him cease his obstinacv, and do reason to
Francis. Learns from others that the marriage of this ladv is con-
cluded for the son of .the king of the Romans, on condition of his coming
to dwell in England, and renouncing the hope of succeeding to this cro vn,
having for dot the duchy of Bedford, county of Richemont and other
lordships here. This would be likely as regards this King, who does not
desire a great lord for son-in-law, nor a neighbour who might in the future
trouble Engla.nd, but I know not whether the other side would grant such
conditions. True it is that, in favour of this alliance, the above loan to
the Emperor is also spoken of. Whatever happens, be it for the Emperor
or his brother's son, or be it that both pa,rties would show the world
that there is great intelligence between them, the ambassador is to return
in ten or twelve daiys, bringing with him the Count de Bure and Seigneur
de Brosse to conclude what has been determined, and meanwhile th*
King has called to him the Duke of Norfolk, who, since Easter, had
retired home, and has sent for several other great lords,
34 HENRY VIII. 227
1542.
The above news has not so much moved me to despatch an express
man as the following, which seems of great consequence ; and I know- not
whether I might be able later to inform you, because the passage of the
sea might be closed to me. It is that this King's ships of war are being
equipped and the Great Henry, one of the finest vessels afloat, and eight
or ten others, are being laden with artillery, hacquebuttes, pikes, and
ether munitions of war; and the beer brewers are commanded \o keep
a certain number of vessels of their brewing, so that at St. John's tide
these ships may be fully ready to sail ; and there is nothing needful for
war which is not provided, even to baggage waggons, and horse harness,
nor anything wanting save great horses, with which they could be fur-
nished if they had intelligence with the Burgundians. Still, as yet there
is no levying of men or arresting of merchants' ships ; nor are any other
than the King's ships equipped. This preparation is either to make
Francis suspect that they wish to invade him, in order to obtain more
easily what they wish from him, or to show the Emperor that they are
in arms, in order to induce him to begin war, or really to execute some
enterprise, for instance the forcing of Ardres, which this King has dis-
cussed with Wallop (as Marillac wrote in his last), and for which the
fortifications at Guynes have been reinforced with workmen, and victualled
and furnished — as, the, Marshal du Bies writes, has been likewise done on
Francis's side. London, 10 June.

was in great fear, and Du Bies himself could scant hide it, although he
said they were ready for war with " a galyard sprite." Du Bies told him
that he would lodge certain deer near Guisnes Forest, and desired to see
Wallop there. As they were talking a gentleman from Du Bies came
to say his master had passed towards Arde, and would to-morrow return
towards Boulogne, and, having sent his venours to lodge deer in their
woods adjoining the Forest, invited Wallop to the pastime. Reflecting
that (having met Du Bies, by request, twice, on first coming [hither]) to
refuse would confirm his suspicions, answered, with thanks, that if he
had deer lodged, " I should be glad to wait upon him, and without that
I was so desirous of th'oversight of the King's fortifications that I would
be loth otherwise to spare any time, and this three weeks I had not been
a hunting ne a hawking, and how well I love the same no man knoweth
better than Mounsr. du Bies." I think he desires this meeting to feel if he
can gather anything of the premises; but I have practised too much
abroad " for a Frenchman to pick anything out of me," and rather think
to leam something myself. Perceived by Du Bies's man that the Emperor
or his son shall marry the lady Mary, which was the more likely as the
Emperor's ambassador came to Dover in the King's litter, and thait mamy
labourers were come over. Upon that the writer pointed out a hundred
that came ,to have their names entered, saying, " Look, these be no men
for the war but small personages meet for to labour." Whereat he smiled,
seeming that he liked that well. " Assuring your Majesty they be small
personages indeed, and none such for that number came hither this year."
Refers the rest to Barnabe, this bringer.
Perceives the Kind's pleasure, by Thos. Palmer, one of the captains
here, to know how Boulogne is fortified within, and whether there is a

but is told that, as one enters the town, there is on the left hand, towards
the castle, an old wall 24 feet distant from the utter wall, with a rampier

P.S. — At finishing this, learnt that the captain of Da,vern, the receiver
of Fiennes and divers of Du Bies's archers, at dinner at Fiennes, this day,
'said among themselves that there was an ambassador of th' Emperor's
that came lately out of England, who had concluded a marriage between
th' Emperour and your Highness' daughter, and that they feared not so
much the war this many years as they do now," and that the said receiver
has received money to provide corn for Arde. Signed.

Admiral lately proposed to the Imperial ambassador new terms for a
lasting peace, saying there was no need of the Pope or any other
sovereign intervening. Has replied that he is in favour of peace if the
Admiral will declaire the new terms. Chapuys should know this in case

Mons. de Beez had to meet him (Wallop) a hunting. Next day, he sent
to say that he had made a " bushon and lodged plenty of game," not so
near Guisnes Forest as he reckoned, but at Arbretton, and, ,on account of

the distance, was doubtful of Wallop's coming. Was right glad, and said
that he could not conveniently go so far and be at Calais the same night,
where he had promised to christen Mr. Vaughan's child. The gentleman
took this excuse very well, and said De Beez would do the like. Writes
their further conversation to the lord Privy Seal.
Yesternight, on arriving at Calais, Jeronymo', Ytalion, the King's ser-
vant, told him that the two Pawlmers said the King wished him, before
returning to England, to go to Turwan ; but, considering that his pro-
ceedings have taken so good effect, and are not mistrusted, he thinks his
being at Turwan would cause suspicion, if reported to De Beez, as his
being at Arde was. And he thinks all De Beez's fortresses are warned
against strangers. If he might first come over, he has a long " discusse "
of his proceedings to> make, and if sent back again, after his being in these
parts is forgotten, he could serve better. If the King commands him to
go, he passes not whether he is discovered or not, but thinks he should
have another conductor than either of the Pawlmers, for they were
together before, and the bailey* " is known all over." He was with
Wallop this morning at the maJking of this letter.
Yesternight, coming hither, met the French ambassador's nephew
riding post to the French Court. " Demanding if he came in the ship that
carried the flag, and who came with him, thinking there had been some
great personage by reason of the said flag, he, answering me shortly that
there came no other but a number of labourers with him, and he came
not in the ship where the said flag was, so therewith departed." Learnt
here that it was Candische that' came to conduct the Emperor's ambas-
sador. If the ambassador's nephew knew it he would spur the faster;
for the going of the Emperor's ambassador into Flanders is much feared
in France, and shall be the more when they hear of his return so shortly.
The Emperor's subjects of Flanders and Artois much " rejoice of the
bruits that now runneth." Calais, 11 June. Signed.

R. o. We have received your letters of 24 May, with the books and
writings therewith, and have declared the effect to the King, who has
commanded us to answer that, albeit, through the negligence of the
captain and other officers, Berwick has been in such disorder, and the
ordinances so neglected that the King might well, in displeasure, remove
them from their offices; yet, he has determined, upon trust of their
amendment, to forbear. Calling before you the captain and other head
officers, you shall give them a special commandment that every man look
to his charge, according to the old statutes and ordinances of the town,
which shall henceforth be observed in all points. As you write that the
porter there is in great default for negligence, appointing mean persons
under him at far smaller wages " than that is allowed unto him for the
same," and taking toll and bribery at the gate contrary to the order,

you shall before departing appoint an able person to be under-porter,
with convenient wages ; and also specially command the said chief porter
and other /'officers who have been " common out Hers," henceforth to
"keep the town and demoure upon their charge." Having put the cap-
tain and other head officers " in a towardness of a good order," and fore-
seen all things tending to the sure keeping of the town, " as a town of
war/' they shall return to the King with diligence.
The King sends his servant Rogers to view the castle of Warke and
house of Carbarn, and report how they may be strengthened; and has
so instructed him by letters. They shall accompany him, see him make
"plottes" according to his instructions, and mark well the sites and
ground about both places, so as to be able to report to the King.
Before your departure, " see such redress in the captain, porter, and all
other officers there as neither any herdman [therejof from henceforth
have the custody of the key of any wa[rde ?] ; neither thatt at the gate be
required hereafter any such kind of briberies and exactions as heretofore
hath been used, and that none of them use any accustomable lying out

two with licence of the captain." Commanding the captain, without
fear or favour, to enforce order, and use vigilance " in the due search of

R. o. Hearing tell that a great ambassador was come from the great
St 46 ' 1X k*n& °^ Sweden (as they call him here), and Monte Pulciano (of whom
he wrote before) also arrived, and that both should have audience on
Sunday last, took occasion to go to Court; for, here, ambassadors come
not to Court without occasion. Saluted the Admiral, and said the chief
cause of his coming was to do reverence to the King and him, but yet he
had a suit to make for a poor Englishman in Brittayn, who, having
process about a. piracy, was by his adversary cast into prison as a
Lutheran. The Admiral promised justice, saying it was a great abuse
to invent one matter to defeat another, and "such like good words, as
though the Englishman had hired him to be his attorney." Coming to
the place where the King lay, the Admiral, holding Paget by the hand
and rejecting others that would speak with him, seemed very desirous to
talk. Gives their conversation verbatim, in which the Admiral asked if
he had letters from England, for theirs were unimportant, only how the
King ordered the state of his realm, and yet there was a strange report
by private letters, that the Emperor had married the daughter of Eng-
land, that the Emperor's ambassador was gone into Flanders, that there
was another marriage for the king of Romans' son, and that the solemnities
were already done ; adding that he had letters of it from Flanders, Spain,
Lyons, and Rome, and that Henry would make war for the Emperor, lend
money upon gage of towns in Flanders, and undertake the protection of
Flanders. Paget answered merrily, saying, "The Spaniards and the
Flemings send these news abroad for nothing else but to make a pre-
paratif for Pulciano, thereby to dissolve your complexions, and to make
you apt to take his potions. I advise you take heed. It cometh out
of Italy and from Rome." Added that, as for war, the King would make
war on no man without very great cause; munitions might be sent to

furnish the works, at Calais and Guisnes, as the French sent them last
year to Arde ; there were bruits last year about the workmen sent, which
proved vain, and if, as some here said, the Emperor would not join with
England unless England joined the bishop ot Borne they would never
join. The Admiral said that was true, but there was much talk of this
money : what did Paget say for the loan of the money ? Paget wagged
his head and said his master was no babe. The Admiral then said his
master thought no less of Henry than ever, but thought some of his
Council, seeing the cheer they made the Emperor's ambassador, pricked
him forward. Paget said that in his Court it was thought good manners
to entertain a stranger. The Admiral said he meant the coming to his
lodging. Answered that that might be because he had the gout, but, as
for pricking forward, the King could see as far as all his Counsellors, and
was president of his own Council. The Admiral said he and his master
tallied of the King yesternight an hour together, upon the occasion of
Pulciano's coining. Paget said his master had nothing to do with
Pulciano or his master ; and all the world knew that he came, seeing
they had their men already in Piedmont, to make them lose
their labour. The Admiral said divers overtures were made from
Rome, and the Emperor's minister had come four leagues hither to practise
with them, but if anything was mentioned that touched England he
should know ; and took Paget to dine with him.
After dinner there came into the stable where they dined II Nuncio
and De Monte Pulciano ; whereupon the Admiral made haste to rise, but
could not get out at the nether end of the board for the number that
sat beneath, and Paget sat still at the upper end, leaning upon the
manger until the Admiral prayed him to rise. He made them wondrous
good countenance, considering his ill words before, and received letoera
trom De Monte Pulciano, and then to get rid of Paget, prayed the
Cardinall of Challons to conduct him to where the King was dining.
Thither, within a while, came the Admiral, followed by ,the Nuncio and
Pulciano, and they three sat together on a stool awaiting the King's
rising, who made no haste to speak with them, for, after dinner, he
talked an hour with the Chancellor d'Alen9on, and then went into his
privy chamber, followed by the Admiral.
Has above related his conference with the Admiral, who seemed satisfied.
The bruit is great of Henry's amity with the Emperor, the marriage, the
war, the loan ; and all seem both afraid and sorry, for both courtiers and
peasants acknowledge Henry's benevolence to this King. Goes abroad in
his cape, unknown, and talks with all sorts, and all agree that their King
is unable to pay England, or even maintain the men in Piedmont long;
for all money raised since last war is gone in entertaining the Emperor,
when here, and the duke of Cleves, paying pensions, to Italians, Almains,
Suisses, gensdarmes, and their captains here, fortifying Arde, Mount-
faulcon, Satheney, and Turin, building, and buying of jewels for himself
and others. This Chancellor devises means to get money, and causes
murmuring, so that the Bretons, for losing their salt trade, and the
Normans, for new imposts, are ready to rebel.
The French king, returning out of his chamber within a quarter of an
hour, called for the Nuncio and Pulciano, received their brief, and made
as brief reading of it and sat down. His manner showed that he liKod
not the matter. They delivered a schedule of the articles of the treaty,
and were not with him a quarter of an hour. "At their departing he
made thorn very pleasant countenances." Learns ,this morning that
Pulciano's treaty is for a peace, with offer on the Emperor's behalf of
Milan upon the conditions before annexed to the offer of Flanders, and

request of respite until September for the conclusion. It is thought
they will not agree, and much the rather if this King be out of " doubt "
of England^ for he refused Flanders because in hope of the marriage with
England; but now, having lost hope of amity, and fearing the contrary,
if the Emperor come anything roundly to him he will not refuse. The
bishop of Rome wants no help here to join them together. Desires in-
structions in case the French king or Admiral renew treaty of the
marriage (which he is told they consult upon) or speak of Henry's join-
ing with the Emperor, as perhaps they will, upon some fresh news irom
their ambassador or Mons. de Bese, who sends hither often, and seems
to have much espial there.
For the ambassador of Sweden's audience, a great barn was prepared
with green boughs set about the posts, the walls hung with old tapestry,
and a cloth of estate, at one side, under which stood a little scaffold six
foot square, with a chair thereon covered with a cloth of tissue. After
dismissing Pulciano, the King came thither with his two sons, six
cardinals, the duke of Guise, the duke of Bar (being here with his wife to
visit the King), the prince of Melphi, the Chancellor and the Admiral.
Pa-get stood next the King's sons. The King waited a long hour in his
chair, until, at last, the three ambassadors came, viz., the Chancellor of
Sweden, the Queen's brother, and another of the king of Sweden's
Council called Ruytter Knowght, and a secretary, with 50 or 60 servants.
Need not write the King's manner of meeting them, which was very
gentle but lacked the majesty which Paget has seen in Henry in like
case. The ambassadors delivered their letter of credence and a book of
instructions of ,6 or 7 sheets of paper in their own tongue; and the
secretary, in Latin, declared his master's power and his desire to join in
amity with the French kinp-. The Chancellor of France, also in Latin,
returned thanks, declared his master's like desire, and concluded that
they would talk together apart. The King came down from his seat,
and stood ,all this while outside the cloth of estate, with the princes,
cardinals, gentlemen, and yeomen mingled " all in a heap " round him.
D'Anebault is gone to Piedmont,, and so is Brysack, who conducts the
footmen, and, within these three days, Mons. de Vendosme is gone to
Picardy, and Blanchefosse to Almayn. Piers Strozza has taken posses-
sion of Marari, as captain, in the King's name; and Turchetto is made a
knight here with 500 cr. reward, 500 fr. pension, and a letter to the
Venetians in his favour. This King says his 30^000 foot in jPiedmont
shall be 10,000 French, 6,000 Italians, and the rest Almains and Swiss,
with 1,500 men of arms and 2,000 light horse; and that he knows "his
good brother of England " will sit still and meddle with neither party.
Janus Bey's mission was only to league the Venetians with the French
king against the Emperor. The passage of Turkish horsemen and the
great force of the Turk were but seeds sown here, and even the French
king (who is not wont to make the least in such a case) has reduced the
300 sail at the least to 100 at the most, and the 300,000 horsemen to
100,000 of all sorts, and says the Grand Signior will not this year come
himself, but send only xa Basshy. " Janus Bey's answer of the Venetians
is that they will be neuters; whereby, sir, they shall break league with
the Emperor, to whom they are bound for the defence of Millan to fur-
nish 6,000 footmen and eight hundred horsemen." The King says
he pities the Almains " that will so wilfully cast themselves away." Mons.
Dade can get no answer about the marriage of Portugal. The bruit here
is that Lady Mary's illness causes the stay of their treaty with England.

that of long time he lias not heard from Paget. Supposing1 the inter-
ception of letters, stopping of posts or lack of health to be the cause, he
commands them to despatch a post express to hear from him, not doubt-

France, "their inclinations and proceedings."

His last was of the 3rd inst. Here is continual rumour of the
French assembling in Piedmont, and that 24 French galleys, with many

In Buda are 8,000 Turks, supported by 60,000 Turkish horse upon the
confines of Hungary. Lately, 500 light horse went from Italy to Hun-

Ferdinando money, instead, and will send the men to Mirandola, to im-
pedite the assembly which the French intended there. The Marqu s

would the King had four such in every shire; who here reasoned
marvellous wittily, " and could not be confounded by any that reasoned
with them, as well in 'gemetrie,' as things concerning navigation and the
discerning of altitude as longitude; and as for the art belonging to
gunners (I have seen none such, insomuch that all those that reckoneth
themselves cunning on this sides of the sea. giveth place unto them, as well
in arguments of their sciences as in their doing, which I have both heard
and seen, not a little rejoicing thereat, being gentlemen." Prays him to
advance their suit to travel abroad this year. They are Tucke, "your

that was on the sea.
The Frenchmen much fear war, and bruit that the King has sent
money to the Emperor, that the Great Master of Flanders is going into
England, and that a good number of Almens and Spaniards shall be
shortly upon these borders. The Imperial party rejoice at the friend-
ship of the Emperor and the King, and think that both together will
make war against the Frenchmen; insomuch that the Countie Penois,
whom my lord Admiral knows, sent a gentleman to me, at my late being
at Calais, with a letter of credence and commission, to declare his desire
to serve the King with 500 or 600 horse, and that he would send for his
son, who is with the Emperor, to be lieutenant of them. Encloses the
letter and memorial. Answered that he knew of no war likely to be
on the King's behalf, but if he saw any appearance of it, he would
gladly be a means for him, and till then it were best not
to advertise the King. Begs him to show this, and the above news

what to do with their goods and themselves. He counselled them to
keep themselves in safeguard and readiness, and not make so great a
rumour. He stayed until, towards night, horsemen came to conduct him
to his house at Remyngham. He gathers men of war. All of Boullenois
and Picardy are in great fear, and they daily bring their goods into the
towns and lie there nightly. Du Bies has 10,000 men ready, and Ven-
dosme is looked for, in 3 or 4 days, at Arde; where, to-morrow or next
day, will come 500 footmen, with 12 great pieces of ordnance. Has six
espials out on both frontiers.
Jeronimo carries this, who came from Calais not an hour before the
receipt of their letter. On hearing the King's pleasure, he cast up his
hands to Heavenward, and gave thanks to God, saying <;I am now at
liberty."

B. O. Answered theirs of the 14th yesterday, by Jeronimo, declaring that
lie had six espials out. Of those in Flanders, one, sent to Hasbroke fair,
reports that on Tuesday last the French buyers of horses there suddenly
fled thence, and returned next day for the horses they had bought. Their
fear was caused by a great number of horsemen that went from St.
Omer's to Tournehen to conduct the Great Master4 of Flanders to
Remyngham, The other espial reports from Bredenerd thait, yesterday,
at 2 p.m., the Great Master came to Mountory, with 30 horses from
Bittain and Heire,* because the labourers durst not tarry there for fear
of the Frenchmen. He said to the labourers, " Fear you nothing, for
within these ij or iij days ye shall have 300 men of war to lie here ; " and
commanded each to wear a St. Andrew's cross. They remained to their
work, and the Great Master went home that night to Remyngham. They
of Bredenerd daily carry their stuff to St. Omer's and other holds, for
fear of sudden adventures. The third espial is not yet returned.
Of the three sent into Picardy, the first says Mons. de Fuxsalles came
from the Court to Boulogne on Thursday last, that people speak much
of war, and that fourteen days will show whether they shall have war or
peace, that 300 or 400 footmen are coming to Arde, and that they fear
the King shall join the Emperor. The second reports that farmers about
Mustrull put their goods in safety, and much fear war with England;
and that there is great bruit and fear of war in the French Court, as
Mons. de Fuxsalles reported, who arrived at Boulogne on the I5bh. The
third (sent to know the secrets of the fortifications of Boulogne), says
there is a ranipire of earth within the town, 48 feet broad, but they trust
more in " a tower called Franchois, the tower Notre Dame, the gate of
the town and the Castle, in which there be loops a low that appeareth
not, and at all times, when need shall require, be as ready as the other,
not serving for any other purpose, but for the flanks only." Of caves,

his coming was only to make good cheer and rejoice that the King and

20 June. 415. MARILLAC to FRANCIS I.
In his last, which he sent by his cousin, wrote of the passage of
the Emperor's ambassador into Flanders and of .the hurried naval pre-
parations. The ambassador arrived here three days ago, and went to
the .King at More, where he still awaits the lords of Flamders, whom
he was to bring, and who are awaited at Dover by some lords of this
Court. Touching the preparations made here, adds some particulars
which strengthen the suspicion that war is to be guarded against. The
dulb of Norfolk has been so received and caressed that presumably there
is need of him. To lead a host there is no personage in England like
him ; and all men who have been heretofore used in war are ordinarily at
his house; reckoning to be soon employed. It causes surprise that he
is not one of the deputies to negotiate with the said Ambassador, but is
attending to the exaction of the money of this great loan, having in-
timated to those assessed, on pain of imprisonment, to pay within fifteen
days. The King does not leave the neighbourhood of this city, whereas
he was wont at such a season to make his progress ; which was this year
ordered to extend as far as Wales, and provision was there made for it,
but he suddenly changed his mind, and sent word not to expect him. The
equipping of ten great ships of war continues with such diligence that,
for ten leagues round, every carpenter and other workmen necessary is
employed in it. Artillery of brass and iron, with munitions of powder
and bullets, are carried daily to the said ships; the biscuit and beer
ordered is kept ready ; nothing is done in the Tower, but dress bows, iron
arrows and pikes, moun^ artillery, prepare waggons, "faire les herces ou
les archiers on accoustume de s'embarquer pour n'estre rompuz par les
gens de cheval " and coin money day and night of the silver plate obtained
from this loan, and from the spoil of the abbeys. The execution of
the design oudit therefore to be soon; and some who are able
to know say that in less than a month will be seen an effort as un-
expected as a thunder clap, and that they do not expect a long war, but
the forcing of some town on your frontiers, in order to speak afterwards

of an appointment with you, which they expect to obtain easily as you
would be at war with the Emperor. The common bruit is that they will
have the pensions by force; and Marillac has been asked why it is that
they are not paid, but has replied that when this King spoke of it he
would think of an answer. Has heard that about Cornwall there were
some eighteen ships of war ready to sail, and laden with victuals, but
that, al few days ago, they (the victuals) were unladen, and delivered to
the keeping of the houses near, with injunctions that they should be re-
laden upon 24 hours' warning. It is said that this was to fetch the
Emperor, who was to embark in Galicia, and come from the cape of
Fineterre to that of Cornwall. Has seen reports of this kind from
merchants of Spain, but the bruit of it has been greater than it now is.
The ambassadors sent to Scotland have written that musters of men-of-
war have been made in their presence, and that, at this next St. John's
tide, there will be ai general muster of all who can bear arms. On this
side none are yet made, nor any levies of men except 2,000 pioneers to
be sent to the fortifications of Guynes. The brothers* of the two Queens
last dead have gone to Germany to take part in the expedition of Hun-
gary.

20 June. 418 . PAGET to HENRY VIII.
R- °- After Pulciano had (as Paget wrote) spoken with the King on
55.' K' Sunday, the llth inst., and delivered a schedule of offers and demands,
he was sent for on the morrow to receive his answer of the Chancellor
and Admiral. Learnt, with much ado (as will be seen), that they have
proceeded as follows. Pulciano was sent to Spain with command to
return by this Court if the Emperor liked his overture. He returned
straight to Rome, and tarried there 14 days before coming hither. Has
described his access. Credence from the Emperor he had none, and yet
he offered on the Emperor's behalf to deliver Milan (Alexandria reserved)
to the duke of Orleans, before October, with his daughter in marriage,
to hold, in tail male, in fee of the Empire, with remainder to the
* Sir Thomas Seymour and Charles Howard.
34 HENRY VIII. 239
1542.
Emperor's heirs, kings of Spain. In return he demands renunciation
of the title of Navarre, surrender of Bourgoin, Savoy, and Piedmont, and
renunciation of all other titles in Italy and Naples, except Milan. This
first overture he delivered on Sunday. On Monday the Chancellor and
Admiral told him that if he had nothing else to say he might depart, for
their master thought this a mockery. He then proposed that the Emperor
would deliver Milan and his daughter to Orleans, out of hand; to hold
Milan to them, and their heirs, as other dukes have held ; requiring
in return Bourgoyn, restitution of Hesdyn, of Maran to King Ferdinand,
and of Savoy and Piedmont to the duke of Savoy, with renunciation of
all titles in Italy and Naples. He said his Holy Father and all the
Cardinals thought the King would not refuse this; but the King would
not agree for Bourgoyn, and said, as for Savoy and Piedmont, that the
Emperor should have talked with him before he fortified it. He left
Court in despair, minding to return to Rome next day, and complaining
to a friend that the King was in fault; but, by means of this friend
(Paget thinks) the Queen of Navarre sent for him, and after long con-
ference, sent him to the King. The King said he might doubt whether
the overtures came from the Emperor, seeing the Emperor's ambassador
made no motion of them, and willed Pulciano to come next day to Jayn-
vile to receive answer. At Jaynvile the King made answer to Pulciano
(the Emperor's ambassador standing talking with the Admiral) that he
liked not the two overtures, and would himself propose a third, viz., that
he would have Milan in such form as Pulciano proposed last, " so as the
Emperor would maary his daughter," and would deliver Hesdin, Maran,
Savoy, and Piedmont (but would first raze all the fortifications in Piedmont,
giving the duke of Orleans in pledge until it was delivered), and renounce
all other titles in Italy and Naples. Pulciano promised to carry this
overture into Spain, and give answer both from Spain and Rome
in 25 days, begging the King not to think that his master meant
to tract time or stay the enterprise he had begun. " No more I
will, you may be sure," quod the King; adding that he would,
for more expedition, send a gentleman with Pulciano into Spain,
and a memorial of the overture in writing. The King then,
after talking with the Admiral, called the Emperor's ambassador,
and they had, as usual, a hot conference. To believe the ambas-
sador, they talked nothing of Pulciano's overtures (and indeed the ambas-
sador had sent that morning for audience to deliver a letter from the
Queen of Hungary) ; yet Pulciano departed that day in good hope, and,
for a triumph (apparently), "the King and Queen, and all the Court,
both men and women, were gorgeously apparelled." Next day Pulciano
despatched to Rome Cavaliero Ugolini, governor of Signer Horacio, and
took leave for Spain, thinking to have with him the gentleman and the
memorial; but the King had changed his purpose; at' which Pulciano
complained to his friend, and was depressed, but determined to go to
Spain and do his best; and so departed hence on Friday, the 16th inst.
Has the above from near friend of Pulciano's friend, with the addition
that, for the Emperor's further assurance that this King will meddle no
further in Italy, the Bishop of Rome travails to join himself and the
Emperor in league with all the states of Italy.
This King pretends to slack nothing of his enterprise, and practises
still to allure the Italians. The Counts of Myrandula and Petyiian,
Signor Jehan Paulo, and others of the retinue in Italy, are appointed to
come into Piedmont, and money is sent thither. In Gascoyn and the
borders of Navarre men be ready. Into Lorraine are come 4,000
Almains, and more follow. The duke of Cleves has horsemen ready (as

418. PAGET to HENRY VIII.— cont.
La Planche has brought word, who returns thither shortly). The Emperor
sleeps not; although Guasto sent him word to sleep, for he would keep
account of Milan. In Navarre and those borders a great number of
Spaniards are "accompanied/' and in these Nether Countries 'the Regent
is at Mons, ready. For all this treaty of peace, a servant of this King's
who went to practise with certain Almains is " trussed up," by means of
duke Wolfang (of whom Paget wrote about Christmas), who, very lately,
revolted from this King (although he had his pension) because the King
entertains Count Guillaume. To get money, another disme is ask 3d of
the clergy, all fellowships and fraternities are commanded to bring in all
their plate before Midsummer, and the greatest wood sale ever seen
in France is made in the forest of Biere (between the Loire and Marne,
the Seine running almost in the midst of it), to the value of 50,000 mks.
sterling, the 35 merchants to bring in the money before 20 July, and have
ten years to fell it.
The ambassadors of Sweden treat in the King's privy chamber, which
is unusual, although they only treat the articles that were treated with
Denmark. News of Hungary is none, but that "we" dispraise the
captains of the army, and lament their charges this year, which are lost,
as the Grand Seigneur intends to send no army this year. This King
appointed to muster his gentlemen at Lyons, 1 July; but now appear-
ances are to the contrary, for the King's great horses are stayed, and
Nevers and Canaples, captains of the gentlemen, ;have recalled their
trains, which were at Digeon towards Lyons. The King will lie here-
abouts, if this treaty goes not forward with the Emperor (as these French-
men trust, and these ladies desire) to make some enterprise, and see what
England will do; for they think Henry will do what he can to join the
Emperor, as the Queen of Navarre said yesterday, who was as dainty to
speak with Paget as if she had never known him or his master until he
" wrang in " by talking of religion, and then " she brake with me as th'
Admiral did, in effect," and had like answer. Noted that she said England
forsook them, and therefore they might lawfully join with the Emperor.
This may have -come of herself, but now, since De Formes came from the
ambassador there (with news that Henry prepares ships, and had levied
money to lend the Emperor, and sent into Almain to practise for lans-
knightes and, with the Hanse cities, for ships, and has sent a [gentleman*
of his Privy Chamber to the king of Romans, and anotherf to the king of
Scots), Paget is looked strangely upon, and commandment issued that no
ambassador be lodged nearer the Court than four leagues. Secured
lodging for himself within one league. De Formes says he is too well
lodged, the King hais looked at him without giving him any countenance,
espials are set upon, him, and the Admiral has checked some for resorting
to him. Shows himself a good Frenchman, but fears they think the con-
trary.
Immediately upon his last despatch, the gentleman J that was last
in England was in hand with him" for a picture of Henry's daughter, on
the duke of Orleans's behalf (with the Admiral's consent, as appeared by
the terming of his tale, and because another gentleman of the Admiral's
had been likewise in hand with him), and to know whether this matter
of marriage could be renewed. Answered that he knew (not how to
come by the picture, and that the matter had been treated by their
ambassador in England, by whom this King, if he meant any such thing,
would doubtless proceed.

Begs instruction in case this matter is moved, or precise answer re-
quired touching these bruits of war or peace, or in case the Emperor
invada and this King demand aid (as he says he has done before, accord-
ing to the treaties); for a month will show how the game shall go.
Yesternight arrived secretary Monlu, from M. de Rodes, ambassador at
Rome, with advice to beware of the Bishop of Rome, and give no credit
to Monte Pulciano; whereupon they have to-day kept great council, and
the bruit of war is as hot as ever. The prince of Melphi leaves to-morrow
for Provence, whereby " I have a mayme ; " and La Plance is returned in
haste to Cleves. Mons. Morret and others are sent to Lorraine 'to view
the lanzknechts. Has just received a letter from al person of good
credit that 25,000 Almains come to serve this King, besides Swiss,
Italians, and Frenchmen. The bruit of war is among the best and
greatest personages, and Paget is grieved that they say, " Weh ! que S9adt
il faire le Roy d'Engleterre." Has much ado to come by news; for, now
that Henry is no longer taken as the friend from whom they hoped for
help in their war, the writer has lost credit; and since the King came
to Jaynvile no man comes to him, and some send word that they may not.

form Norfolk of the above, in passing by , London; and wrote also,
darkly of a practice between the French King and the Duke of Cleave.
Has now learnt further that Andwarp and Gawnt should have been
taken by treason, which " was discovered by one that brought letters out
of Gelderland to the father and the son, the one being in Andwarp and
the other in Gawnt." The letters declared how 7,000 men were gathered
within 8 leagues of Andwarp. Awaits further news, for much is ex-
pected to ensue hereupon, especially in Andwarpe, where dwell many

Gravelyng says that a gentleman dwelling thereby was yesterday taken
by the Frenchmen. Thinks war will ensue shortly.

Dionisius Tod, born in England, in the diocese of York (Diort),

applied himself to letters, and trusted to charity for food and clothing.
He went from England to Germany seven years ago to learn the will of
God, because they believe ,in God alone, and there studied letters.
Returning towards England, and being in New Castle church on St.
Claude's day, he suffered very great injury, especially from two priests,
for no reason unless it was that he said he believed in Jesus Christ alone,
and trusted not in the Virgin Mary. Asked whether he revered the
Sacrament, he said it was not to be revered, and that all sacraments
were in Christ Jesus. He said he had not received the body of Christ
for seven years, nor confessed his sins except to Christ, and that he was
not bound to confess to any priest, and would be subject to none but God
alone. He said also that all sacraments were outward signs, nor could
be administered, except by Christ. He confessed that three books, which
certain religious theologians have asserted to be tainted with Lutheranism,
are written with his own hand and divinely inspired.

fish and reeds, detailed, to the value of 43Z., of Wm. Cony, of Yaxley,
Hunts. ; in part payment of which he delivered 50 qr. of beans and
pease, 2 horse colts, 6 oxen, and 2 bullocks. In 25 Hen. VIII. he
borrowed of Wm. Bekelles, of Conyngton, 181. ; in part payment of which
he delivered 40 couple of ewes and lambs, 20 sheep called " hoggerelles,"
and 10 kine, worth in all 16/. While he was abbot, he was always in
debt.

*R r\
Yesterday, Mons. du Bies sent ai letter and depositions touching
a vagabond Englishman, taken at the village of Nevechasteau in Boul-
loin, accused of heresy. The bp. of Tyrwan hals sent for him, but Du
Bies would first know whether Wallop would do justice on him here.
Encloses the writings. Answered, thanking Du Bies for his gentleness,
that, as a temporal man, he could not undertake to do justice in such
cases; and prayed him in no wise to deliver the man to the bp. of
Tyrwan, "who should have as good justice here, and as brief, being an
heretic, as in any other part of Christendom," for he trusted shortly to
answer that his gentle offer was gratefully accepted. This morning
received a letter (enclosed) from the captain of Arde, who shows himself
very sorry at the bruit that his men killed the horses. The gentleman
who brought the letter trembled as if afraid, and suggested that the deed
was done by them of Muttory for a pique. Quotes his words. Evidently
they fear the King, and wish that Arde had never been built. Of him-
self, the man said Count Bryan was expected at Arde, and that Count
Russe>, his younger brother, was leaving with his band, and Mons. de
Torse coming, with his, for the summer, as the King's lieutenant. Also
that Mons. d© Vandosme is at Abbeville, that 300 footmen, all arque-
busiers, come to Arde to-morrow, and that Du Bies will be there to-day.
An espial from Mustrull says Du Bies has warned the waggoners that
go weekly to St. Omer's with coals, &c., that henceforth he will not
assure their safety. The men-of-war about Wase were ready to make a
course into the bailiage Tournehen, butthebailly of Wase stayed it. Ther^
is no great assembly in Boullenois, and people flee with their goods into
Boulogne, the rather because Mons. de Fuxsailles has .brought all his
goods thither. In Artois they do the like, as if it were war already,

the conspirators, but the King thinks he should have tried to entrap their
accomplices. A post that brought news from Flanders that the Queen
was returned to Gaunt, and Mons. de Rews (Rewes in §2) was visiting
the frontiers, was robbed of his money by lanzknechts about Lorraine.
Hearing of his arrival Paget sent to the Emperor's ambassador to know
how the Queen did. He sent back word tha,t 'she was well, and was
our great friend, and wrote that your Majesty promised she should
lack neither men nor money, and she was expecting 5,000 or 6,000
English archers; also that the army is before Budai, but the Turk will
not meddle this year by land, " and by sea hath lost lately forty galleys."
Last news touching the Almains and the readiness of the duke of Cleves
is confirmed. The King waits about Jenvile until he hear from Pulciano,
and yet the Emperor's ambassador says openly that Pulciano had no com-
mission of the Emperor. If that be true, men marvel that the King
listens to Pulciano, and if not, it 'is a practice that passes Paget's capacity.

The King has received his of the 13th and 20th, and is pleased
with his diligence and dexterity. As to "their fond suspicions and
imaginations " that the King intends war against them and has con-
cluded an amity and marriage with the Emperor for that purpose, and as
to the renovation of their former treaty* here; the Emperor's ambassador
was here at Court in the Whitson holidays about the edicts on both
sides, of which our merchants complained, and then went to Flanders
for a resolution, and, since his return, has Been here for the same pur-
pose, and it is agreed that they shall revoke their edict, and the
King afterwards surcease his statute, but as for amity, league or
marriage, whatever overtures have been made1, there is none concluded;
and so you may affirm to the Admiral and all of the Council who speak of
it. If they suggest renewing the overtures lately made by the French
king, you may say you can give no certain advice, but think that if they
renew it they will have reasonable answer, provided they offer reason-
able conditions, to show " that they seek rather friendship than gain and

VI. ii., No. n. de gt Mor.g^ ^^ credentials and instructions. As St. Moris is not likely
soon to return from Spain, sends Chapuys a copy of his instructions,
that he may excuse him if detained on his way to England. He was sent
to beg Henry's assistance against the Turk, and Chapuys is meanwhile
to use his instructions as if addressed to himself. Francis is daily in-
creasing his army on the Luxemburg frontier, and the v infantry force
which his ministers have raised on the side of Cleves and Gueldres. We
have remonstrated through the Imperial ambassador and asked if he mean
to observe the truce of Nice. But he only says that the assembly on the
frontier of Cleves is for defence, not invasion, as long as we do not give him
occasion, for he hears Henry is about to make alliance with the Emperor
and the Count de Roeulx is meditating an attack on some French towns.
He has also sent a gentleman to give us notice that he intends sending
his own officers to St. Pol to administer justice, and collect the revenue—
a formal demonstration that he means war. We have therefore ordered
the immediate levy of 25,000 foot and 4,000 horse, with which force and
that of the King of England's subjects in those parts, we hope to delend
our frontiers. We have discovered treacherous dealings here and there

Spanish Has just received hers of the 25th inst. Could not have written
)! 12> sooner what passed when he was last at Court, owing to a fit of the gout
in his right hand, which seized him upon his return from Greenwich.
Moreover, things have not advanced one step, these Councillors insisting
on an additional clause being appended to the treaty of Cambray about
commercial intercourse, in order to make it perpetual. Another diffi-
culty is that in the article about rebels they will only comprise
the Emperor's Spanish subjects, not those of the Empira They
insist also on the defensive aid being given at the time the
offensive league is executed, and that the obligation shall only
last four months in every year, either consecutively or as need
requires, and that if either prince wants them longer he shall pay for
them himself, unless the other requires them for his own defence. They
wish it also agreed that these auxiliaries may be employed by a prince,
not only for defence of his territory, but for pursuit of his enemy withm
his own kingdom; and, further, that if either prince be invaded, the
aggressor shall be held the common enemy of both. This is an article cm
which they particularly insist; also that the invasion of France be fixed
beforehand not later than 1 July next year. They decline to make ft
special article against the Dukes of Cleves and Holstein.
After long disputes on these points, and much bravado on the part of
the English, as "if they did not need our services, we have agreed — though
not without some mystery, which time will unravel — that the promise in
the Emperor's note to keep the matter secret should be prolonged till
October next, and that the King, on my assurance of the Emperor's good
will, would send to: Spain the bp. of Westminster, one of the deputies, to
settle the points amicably ; that meanwhile, to prepare matters, Chapuys
should be always near the King (as in fact he has been ever since his
return from Flanders) till a final settlement be reached, as he hopes it will
be in the next 24 hours. The Bp. is to leave immediately for a seaport 150
miles off, and will be accompanied by a man of Chapuys's, bearer of this.
If, however, George, the Imperial messenger, should arrive meanwhile —
which would be a most fortunate coincidence — and if his stay here is to
be short, Chapuys will endeavour to have the Bp.'s departure delayed, and
make George the bearer.
Forgot to mention that he heard on his return to London that the
King had willingly enough granted that the defensive league should com-
prise the Emperor's Spanish subjects, as well as those of the Low Countries
in case of an invasion from the French or Mr. D'Allebrecht, but not from
any other belligerents, and that the article should be drawn, first in
English and afterwards in Latin; but four or five days later the whole
was changed, and there was no more talk of it.
Mons. de Reuz, whom he met at St. Omer, told him that, with a few
English soldiers, such a body of horse and foot as could be hastily collected
in Artois without causing alarm could easily take Monstreul by surprise,
and it could be fortified during the winter ; and that after they had over-
run the neighbouring country, Hesdin, Therouenne, Ardres, aaad even
Boulogne would have to surrender. On his return Chapuys submitted
this plan to the King, who was marvellously pleased with it, and approved
of Chapuys's advice to send a message to the Emperor on the subject, and
write to the Capt. of Guisnes to put himself in communication with De
Roeux. The King is now arming a number of warships, not to be taken
unawares.

of Desmond, the chief lord of Ireland, who has come to do him homage— a

Spanish The bp. of Winchester, having lately been obliged to leave his
CalenNar'i3 house for fear of the illness (sweating sickness)* and to come near
vi. u., i >. chape's lodging, Chapuys has had every opportunity of bein^ civil to
him. One day when he came to dine with Chapuys they conversed from
early morning to late in the evening of the state of Christendom, the
Turk and the practises of the French. Finds the bp. very well inclined
to the closer friendship. The day after his visit to Chapuys he was in-
vited to dinner by the Lord Privy Seal, and on his return spent a few
hours again with Chapuys, as he did also in the two following days. He,
the lord Privy Seal and Wriothesley, thought Chapuys should apply for
an audience with the King to say ne feared his offers in the Emperor's
name had been misunderstood, as he had had no reply. The time was
favourable, they said, as they had just done him the signal service of pro-
moting the loan in Parliament, which had already brought in an in-
calculable sum of money, and this would give them greater opportunities
of seconding Chapuys's views.
Sent accordingly on the 16thf for an audience, which was granted on
the 18th. f Just after the return of his man from Greenwich the bp. of
Winchester gave him the Emperor's letter of the 3rd;f with the powers
therein mentioned, and other papers that Mr. Quenevet (Knyvet) had for-
warded from Orleans, who pretended that he was detained there by ill-
ness, and the fatigue of travel, but really awaited the return of one of
his secretaries, whom he had despatched a month before to learn how his
own affairs stood in England, and whether it was safe for him to come.
The packet caine quite safe, and the Bp. shortly after called on him,
showing great satisfaction at his having received the powers from the
Emperor. Talked with him about the best means of persuading the
King to the closer friendship, and he approved Chapuys's plan, except
that he ought not to tell the King it was expedient in his own interests.
That his own Councillors would endeavour to show him. Agreed with
this advice, which has been his general policy. Went to the King on

was then going to mass, and he thanked Chapuys for his zeal in the
matter, and was glad his powers had come, as he could speak more
frankly what was in his mind; but Chapuys must promise the strictest
secrecy, both for himself and the Emperor. This promise being given,
he said what had made him keep neutrality hitherto was a suspicion that
there was some secret agreement between the Emperor and Francis to
reveal to each other whatever1 passed! between one or the other party,
and himself. Chapuys said he knew of no> such agreement ; * if there was
such it must have depended on the truce of Nice, which the French had
violated many a time, and the Emperor had ample occasion, not only to
mistrust them, but to form leagues against them ; that the Emperor had
always been desirous of the increase of alliances with England, and that,
if he had known one tenth part of what he now knew of the malice and
perfidy of the French, Henry would not have had to complain of hia
answer when he called upon him after Francis's capture at Pavia to con-
tinue the war. But, he trusted that ere long, there would even be a
better opportunity of bringing Francis to reason.
The King seemed pleased with his speech, but was then going to chapel,
and promised to reply fully after dinner. After dinner he sent word by
the Lord Privy Seal that he could not give him audience at once, as he
had just received letters from France with the contents of which he would
make Chapuys acquainted ; and he desired him to come to his private cham-
ber, where he would be found " a la domestique, en robe de nuyt." Was con-
ducted to the King by the lord Admiral. Henry began by saying Judas
non dormit, and that the French were continuing their bad practices.
They were expecting Count Guillaume de Furstenberg with 8,000
lanzknechts, and M. de Longheval, who would one day be Grand Master
of France, had started for Cleves, not only to excuse Francis to Duke
William for not having been able to send him his promised wife, but to
induce him to send troops to Gueldres, while the Duke of Holstedn would
attack the Dutch by sea. The letters further said that it was most
important for the Low Countries to keep an eye on the castle of La
Moutiere (sic), which the French sought to surprise. They were also
continuing their practises in Italy, especially with the Venetians, whom
they were helping by their influence with the Turk. So that there was
great appearance of the Emperor being molested on many sides.
Chapuys replied that the Emperor's affairs were in no such plight,
and while he had been soliciting the King's alliance he had taken
care to preserve old friendships, and make fresh ones; that the French
were quite mistaken ih acting as they did, and that it would not cost a
farthing for the King and Emperor to defend themselves mutually. The
Bang said, before determining about the alliance he must know what the
Emperor intended about the duchies of Milan and Gueldres. Said, as
to Milan, he had no idea; as to Gueldres, the Emperor could not act
otherwise than he had done, or abandon the pursuit, his right being
evident. As to Milan, the King said that considering the difficulty of
defending countries so far apart, the Emperor might keep it for life and
get the estates of the Empire to defend it, on the understanding that it
should be incorporated with them after his death. As to Gueldres its
conquest would be difficult, owing to the hatred of the people to the in-
habitants of Brabant, and, considering his relations with Germany and
France, the Duke might be a dangerous enemy if the marriage so much
talked of should take place ; also while using his forces against Gueldres
the Emperor would be prevented from driving the French out of Pied-
mont. The King thought it would be better to gain over the Duke, who
must now be dissatisfied with the French for not having given him a

wife. Were Henry called to settle the matter he would offer him one of
his own daughters. In that way the Emperor's honor would be safe-
guarded— he might grant the duchy of Gueldres to the Duke, on such
conditions as he and the Queen of Hungary thought fit, and make use of
the forces of Gueldres and Cleves. That would cut short the designs of
Francis for this year at least, and the Turk, finding that he could not
stir, might quarrel with him for not fulfilling promises.
To this Chapuys replied that there was no need of incorporating
Milan with the Empire, as there were plenty of other means of setting the
German states against France, without counting the effect of a good
victory over the Turk, for as the King himself confessed, the Germans
were well aware that Francis was the sole cause of his descent on Christen-
dom, and would no doubt unite with the Emperor and him for the double
purpose (1) of indemnifying themselves for expenses incurred, and (2)
to clip the wings of France so that he should interfere no further. By
these means the other Christian powers could easily be brought into the
league, for, if the Emperor took up arms, this would be a fiercer war than
ever, the Cortes having lately voted a marvellous sum on condition that he
did not leave Spain or make peace till Francis was no longer able to
trouble Christendom. But as to the disposal of Milan, the alliance once
made, the f Emperor would value Henry's advice more than that of any
other person, and he need not fear his becoming again friends with Francis
if the latter abated his pretensions, for the Emperor could never trust
him again. As to Gueldres, he said, the thing was not so impossible as
he supposed. It was not clear that the Duke of Cieves would be sup-
ported in his claims by Germany, considering that his ancestors, paternal
and maternal, had not only relinquished all right to it, but promised to
assist in its defence when needful, and the Emperor relied on Henry to
aid him in the conquest of Gueldres, just as Henry's father had assisted
King Philip ; that the task would be easier now that the Emperor had
acquired Groningen and the lands the last, Duke of Gueldres held in
Friesland (?), besides towns in Utrecht and Overviesel. Showed that
it would be an advantage to England if Gueldres was in the Emperor's
hands, and that means might be found of detaching the Duke of Cleves
from France.
The King then began to talk of an indemnity for the loss of his French
pensions, on which Chapuys replied, as graciously as he could, with
arguments in addition to those he had used to his deputies; which the
King took well, and said no more. He complained, however, that secrecy
had not been observed ; for the French had heard of the negotiations, and
were endeavouring to rouse the Pope's indignation. Chapuys denied
that the information had come from their side, and the King made a like
denial on his, but, with courteous language, again recommended the
greatest secrecy — like the Florentine who had a sermon preached against
usury that bankers might, abstain from it and he himself profit by it. He
ended by saying that he would promptly have powers made for the bps.
of Durham, Winchester, and Westminster, to treat with Chapuys, and
seemed this time to be quite in earnest. Judged so especially from what
he said about the Emperor's government of the Low Countries, though
Chapuys had prepared the ground by flattery of his wisdom, with which
he was much pleased. When he said the French were continually offering
him ladies to marry, Chapuys pleased him by answering that no doubt
they would do as they did in the case of the Princess, now Queen of
Scotland, for in marriages they always broke treaty with England,
Francis having given his daughter to the King of Scotland and married

the Dauphin to the niece of the Pope (Clement VII.), then Henry's
greatest enemy, and if they did such things openly they must have done
worse in secret. To darken the picture, told some anecdotes of Francis
and his ministers ; aind added that, had it been in the Emperor's power
to gratify him with a wife, it would have been heartily done ; '' et quoique
eusse [a] blasonner les armes des dits Franyois," he would not deny that
the French King and Dauphin were " bien affectionez," not towards him
but towards his country, of the conquest of which the Dauphin has often
spoken.
In reply to the King's assertion that the French had frequently owned
their debt to him, and were ready to pay him by instalments, Chapuys
said for a! much smaller sum they would take a thousand oaths, but they
never intended to pay him. The King answered that they wished to
pay, but had not the means, and that they had lately proposed to pay
him out of the first towns and castles taken in ai joint war against the
Emperor. Chapuys replied that he would see how they sought to evade
payment by making such an iniquitous proposal ; whereas he might easily
get the money by joining the Emperor, ais he himself had once owned.
Took leave then of the King;and returned to London, where, lest the
negociation should not turn out so well as he hoped, he at once wrote
down every word of his conversation with the King. Had several con-
ferences with the King's deputies from Saturday after Ascension
to Whitsun Eve* (20-2 Y May), and on the latter day they were all
summoned to Hampton Court, where, out of regard for the Emperor,
Chapuys was received in a manner that baffles description. On
resuming the conferences, after four days' debating, Southampton lord
Privy Seal and Mr. Wrisley proposed that a. rough draft of the articles
already discussed should be drawn up for the King's inspection. But as
there were two articles that he had refused to pass, viz., of the defensive
alliance not comprising Spain, and of the aid demanded by the King for
an offensive one and for a joint invasion of France, with indemnity for the
loss of the French pension, it was agreed that Chapuys should write to
the Queen of Hungary, and, to prevent mistakes, show his letterf and
copy of the two articles to the Deputies. The Deputies were much
pleased with Chapuys's compliance and his offer to go over to Flanders
for quicker despatch of the business. And the King ordered his own
sedan chair for Chapuys's use, and a vessel for his transport to Calais,
where he accomplished in a few days what the Emperor already knows.
On his return was again well received by the King, who', however, was
a little dissatisfied at hearing that the Imperial ambassador was still
at the Court of France and that he had even made overtures for peace ;
but he accepted Chapuys's excuses, and let him retire to rest. Since then
has been engaged with the Deputies for 8 or 10 days in the specification of
particulars, which he thought had been already settled connected with
the above two articles, e. g., as to the extradition of rebels, which they
will not understand to include rebels against the Empire, and as to the
treaty of Cambray, in which they would introduce a clause which Chapuys
thinks inadmissible, tending somewha,t to perpetuate the present com-
mercial treaties. His chief objection, however, was to a clause added to
the 6th article to forbid liberty of trading to enemies of either party ; on
which Chapuys referred to art. 24 in the treaty of Windsor, .and answered
arguments in reply. Has forborne to stipulate in the defensive alliance
that the obligation of defence shall last as long as vthe offensive alliance,

months, while Chapuys has in vain stipulated for <£ ; but aa it is
reciprocal we need not object. Specifies some other demands of the
English and the objections to them. Among these they desired that the
aid by sea should be definite and not convertible into money; which
Chapuys has not dared to concede, because if Flanders were invaded on
the side of Gueldres or Friesland, no assistance by seal would be needed.
What the English thought almost scandalous was that while we solicited
them to an offensive league, we would not agree that the invasion should
take place within a year, as it was important to fix a time ; but Chapuys
dared not decide without consulting the Emperor on that and on the
terms of the declaration of war. Has not been able to get the English
to agree to give help against Cleves and Holstein, much less to a specific
article in the treaty touching them, as Chapuys had said he would be
content with the two dukes being considered common enemies if they
invaded. Omits several of the English objections as they will doubt-
less be brought forward by the bp. of Winchester (sic: for Wesi>
minster?), and to give hisi own arguments when Granvelle is now there
would be like trying to increase the sun's light with a candle.
The King did not at first intend to send an ambassador extraordinary,
but he has now decided to send the above-named bp. [of Westminster],
a worthy ecclesiastic, said to be most favourable to the alliance. Most
of the objections raised by the Deputies are trifling, and the Emperor
should not make too much of them. For when this King decides on
anything he goes the whole length; and, considering that he is now ait
peace with all his neighbours, and profiting by their dissensions, yet is
ready to throw himself into a maze of difficulties for the service of God
and the welfare of Christendom, it would be prudent to accept his terms
with some slight modifications. Besides, many opportunities will occur
of modifying the articles before the offensive league is concluded, and
the English were never more set on going to war with the French, owing
especially to their intelligence with the Turk, besides the old hatred
between the two nations. It has also been agreed that the clause for-
bidding one party to treat without the knowledge of the other is to be
made still clearer and more binding; that the time of the obligation is
to be extended, profound secrecy kept, and a deed drawn up concerning
" the navigation and its revocation edict," as shown in the enclosed docu-
ments.
Has kept for a bonne bouche at the end of his despatch that, on his
return from Flanders, he met at St. Omer Mons. du Ruz, who said, if he
had only 4,000 Englishmen in addition to the horse and foot he could
suddenly raise in Artois, he could easily surprise Montreuil, and over-
run the neighbouring country, provided the enterprise took place within
three months, and it would be easy to keep it and fortify it during winter.
The enemy then would not be so foolish as to1 lay siege to it, and Hesdin,
Therouenne, Ardres, and Boulogne would soon fall, for the harbour of the
last is so bad that in winter they could not get supplies. Has informed
the King of this, and advised him to send a message to the Queen of
Hungary ; and, meanwhile, let the governor of Guisnes communicate
with Mons. du Ruz. Thinks no better bait could have been thrown
to draw this King into a war. Advises that the subject be discussed in
preference to any other. Hopes to obtain through it the King's assist-
ance against the Turk. Indeed, not many days ago he was, according to
the lord Privy Seal, on the point of sending 50,000 cr. to the King of the
Romans.
34 HEKRY VIII. 253

As the roads through France will henceforth be closed for English
as well as Imperial couriers, and, if the present negotiations end well, the
King says it is important that the Emperor and he should be in constant
and almost daily communication, he is now sending, with the bp. of
Westminster, a sea captain to purchase in Spain two zabras, trust-
ing that the Emperor will fit out two others to be always ready 'in port
to bring or convey messages. The Queen Jlegemt herself recommends
this.
Has just received the Emperor's letter of the 5th, which he will obey.
The French ambassador has not visited the Court since Holy Week.
The receiver De Neufchaistel, gentleman-in-waiting to the Admiral of
France, went from hence Irusquement depesche without seeing the King.
There is no longer any question of the business that brought him, touch-
ing the Orleans marriage. It is true these people, thinking they might-
gain something by, communicating the news, tell me that their ambassador
had written to say that according to the Admiral's report, if the negotia-
tions for the Orleans marriage did not succeed other offers would be
made to secure this King's friendship, or neutrality at least. Hampton

Spanish Cannot sufficiently thank him for the care he takes of his interests,
VI n?No k M appear ty the letters of 3 May. Is vexed) to hear of the bp. of
London's importunities, not only on account of the annoyance he
must give to the Emperor and Granvelle, but because he has
given the latter no time to attend to Chapuys's private affairs,
without a settlement of which he remains in a shameful state
of perplexity. Hopes, by the Emperor's flattering words, soon to get
relief. Trusts the bp. will be ai little more modest in future, taking
example by the bp. of Westminster now going out. If the English Had
been reasonable, affairs would have been already concluded here. But
they almost look for carte blanche in everything, exaggerating the
Emperor's need of help, and saying that the Dukes of Oleves and Holstem
are on the point of invading Flanders. Shut their mouths by telling
them in confidence that Cleves would easily treat with us about Gueldres
if we only engaged to help him against England, and that Holstein was
making very good offers to the Emperor's nieces,* and would transfer
to them all the claims he made against England, promising great assist-
ance to conquer it. In truth the English are right to try and ascertain
the state of the Emperor's affairs, as it is to them ai question of launch-
ing into a sea of difficulties and running risks with us when they could
easily pass along in the midst of the storm. Can a=sure Granvelle it is
not without mystery he has conducted them so far, telling them how much
the Emperor did for them in lending himself to this close friendship.
Among other things told them of the ill will of the French, and that
the Dauphin has often said, half in jest, half in earnest, that he was
Henry's spiritual son, and meant to be his temporal son and successor, —
that it would be quite right, in future, for Kings of France to call them-
selves Kings of England, as those of England had called themselves of
France, and that there never was a King Henry in France who1 was not
King of England also.f
Granvelle knows how important it is to make friends of the English
at present, to check the malice of the French who, regardless* of what
Granvelle has done for them at other times, would like to see him now
at the bottom of the sea. If the present negotiation should fail, it would

have been much better that it had never been begun ; for if this King,
in his disappointment, became our enemy, ships between Flanders and
Spain could not touch at an English port. Granvelle will understand
that to please the King he has introduced phrases into his dispatch that
he hass shown.* Begs him also to believe that what he has written to
the Emperor was only out of devotion to his service, for he has received
no other presents from the King than a few artichokes once, and on
another occasion a buck and one large fish, a dolphin, which had been
presented to him. Ventures further to suggest, as Don Inigo used to
do and De Praet did lately to the Queen, that a few pensions should
be distributed here. The Councillors who now enjoy the King's favour
are only two, the lord Privy Seal and Secretary Wriothesley. Two
others, though King's favourites, depend upon them, viz., the Admiral and
the Grand Squire. These latter would be satisfied with little. The
bp: of Winchester would be content with the honour of the thing, and
deserves some sort of reward, having been the first to begin this negocia-
tion out of his good will to the Emperor.
Says nothing about the idea, the Emperor once had of sending from
Flanders a personage with letters to this King, for the Emperor knows
best. Has obtained by stealth a transcript of the draft treaty, which
these people once made, and which they have since changed in many
places, as Granvelle will see by the draft which the bp. of Winchester
(Westminster) took with him. Has also sent ai copy of the articles as
they were drawn, discussed, and almost approved, but this must bo kopt
very secret. Begs him, however, to tell the English ambassadors that
Chapuys has worked wonders to bring the negociation to a close. Wishes
him to think about '.the zdbras. Is (Constantly fighting the Deputies
about Cleves and Holstein, with the same arguments they opposed to
him about the rebels, and finds that the King had previously made
separate agreements with each of these Dukes contrary to our interests.
The King's deputies advise the suppression of the title "bel oncle"
in the letters addressed to him by the Emperor, and of Princess to the
lady Mary ; and those about the Regent agree. Begs Granvelle to press
his claim for some reward for 'his incessant toil since Ascension day.
Has not been able to write this in his own hand for the gout, though it
is better now. The disease has even impaired his flnental powers, as
this rambling letter shows. Cannot mention the praises which these
deputies bestow on Granvelle, especially the lord Privy Seal and Secre-
tary Wriothesley, and the bp. of Winchester. Hampton Court, 30 June

[A statement of the progress of negociations with the Emperor's
ambassador giving in parallel columns the past and present position upon
each article, viz. : J
1. The ambassador would not insert the articles of the treaty of Cam-
bray, but only a confirmation; we standing to have them inserted. He
now consents.
2. He desired Spain in like condition for defence as the Low Countries,
" which we would in no wise condescend unto, albeit he offered Ireland
for reciproque," We have agreed to put in Spain and Navarre, having
Ireland for reciproque.
3. "It was agreed there should be a defence of mJm1. men given upon
the sea to be ordered by th' Admiral of the Prince desiring it besides
the iij. m*. horsemen and iij. m^. footmen;" and in case of joint invasion
for offence each prince to put 3,000 to sea under his own admiral ; " or
money, &c." We desire to have this article couched, " That whensoever
either prince shall have war," the other, upon intimation thereof,
shall send 2,000 men to sea, to guard it.
4. The ambassador would not fix a time for their invasion but refer
it to the princes. " We desire to have a time prefixed."*
* In margin, " We desire a new thing."

5. The ambassador stood to have the article of rebels " couched as it is
in Cambray," we to have it as it is with France. "He is content to have it
as it is with Prance, having the names of them that be already and a time
for the banishment of them."
6. The ambassador would not agree to the 3,000 horse and 3,000 foot
demanded in lieu of the pension. He now grants to 2,000 of each;
whereto the King has relented.
7. " The ambassador desired an article for Gueldres and Denmark, which
we denied." He stands to it, but is content " to put it into a generality]
and make to it reciproque for both parties."
8. " Th'ambassador desireth to have the defence cease when the in-
vasion shall be made by both parties." " We deny [it, becaujse [it] waa
otherwise agreed before."
"His demand for aid against the Turk."

R. O. Instructions for the bp. of Westminster.
St> QQ' IX* *^° add*688 himself to the Emperor's Court, in Spain, communi-
cate these instructions to "the Bight Reverend, &c.,"* the King's
ambassador there ; and, with him, procure audience, present his credence
and declare that, where, upon sundry communications of the Emperor
and Grandevela with Winchester and Sir Hen. Knevet, and with the
bp. of London, since his arrival there, the Emperor lately sent com-
mission to Chapuys, and the King appointed certain Commissioners, of
whom he (Westminster) was one, these Commissioners for both parties
have grown very near to a conclusion, and, at Chapuys's request, the
King sends the treaty they have framed, in order that the Emperor may
go through with it, as Chapuys is confident he will. If the Bishops, after
this declaration, perceive the Emperor earnestly minded to conclude the
treaty, Westminster shall say that, besides the matter contained in the
:< plat " of the treaty, an overture is here made by Chapuys, upon motion,
at his late being in Flanders, made to him by Mons. de Rieux, to aid
the King to surprise Muttrell this year before it should be ^made too
strong ; which overture Chapuys likewise desired to be referred to the
Emperor. Considering the benefit to the Emperor if the King a£ once
enters war with the French king, his enemy, who everywhere, by means
of the Turk, Cloves, Denmark, and in Italy and otherwise, prepares
against him, the King, regardless of the cost of taking and keeping it,
will do the enterprise immediately upon Westminster's return, provided
the Emperor first conclude the amity and give reasonable aid from the
Low Countries. They shall endeavour to get the treaty agreed to as it
is delivered to Westminster, signed by the King ; but atre hereby authorised
to alter any word or words provided the effect of the articles be not
thereby changed. If the Emperor's Commissioners insist upon any altera-
tion of the effect, and cannot be induced to agree to the treaty as now
couched, the bishops shall show themselves equally stiff, as though West-
minster would return without any conclusion, and so frame them to come
as near the "King's mind as possible. They shall then undertake to
despatch to the King, showing how they vary, but first they shall make
sure " whereupon the said Commissioners shall arrest," and what the
Emperor will do about Muttrell. The aid the King requires towards

that enterprise is 4,000 horse and 6,000 foot, at the Emperor's cost, until
the town be won or the King forced to retira from it, and 3,000 horse,
" which is in manner but his ordinary," to join the King's crew at Guisnes
or elsewhere for the victualling of it when won, as often as necessary, upon
warning given to the Grand Master of Flanders, or other ruler of the
frontiers, with licence to provide victuals, munitions, &c., in the Low
Parties for the King's fortresses in those paarts. The matter of Muttrell
" must be concluded in a schedule apart and not in the gross treaty, for
that it should declare a determination of an enterprise before knowledge
had what answer the French king will make to things to be demanded
of him."
If the Emperor seem inclined to go through with the treaty, the
Bishops shall solicit him to despatch a. commission to the Queen of
Hungary and Great Master of Flanders to arrange with English com-
missioners for the " faicte " of Muttrell. Intimation of this amity must be
made to the French king before the enterprise of Muttrell, and the King
must first know the Emperor's whole mind how this shall be done.
In the 22nd article, if the Emperor think the number with which each
prince shall invade the French king next year, viz., 20,000 foot and 5,000
horse, too great, a bye schedule may be made providing that the armies
shall be at least 12,000 foot and 3,000 horse, leaving the whole number,
25,000, in the treaty, for the honour of the same and terror of the enemy.
The 19th article provides that, if the French king is content to do them
reason, the King shall demand the arrears of his pension, the towns of
Bulloyn, with the country of Bullonoys, Mutrell, Tirwaine and Ardre,
with the country of Pointue for the assurance of the pension henceforth,
and a blank space is left for the insertion of the Emperor's demands. If
the Emperor demand much greater things than the King, the Bishops
shall add the duchy of Normandy to the King's demands, and if that
seem insufficient they shall add parts of the duchies of Gascoyn and
Guy en*.
When the amity is /concluded, the Bishops shall declare how pro-
pitiously some parts of Gascoyn and Guyen lie for the Emperor, and that
for a release of the lands he claims from Braye upon the Somme sea-
ward, the King will release to him his title to equivalent lands in Gascoyn
and Guyen.

Wrote last 14 June. By letters from Constantinople, of 19 May,
the Turk's navy will this year be of small moment; but Harvel rather
suspects Barbarossa will not be idle, when there are such motions every-
where, especially in Italy, where the French have already discovered war
by assembling- 50,000 men in Piedmont, of whom 20,000 are Swiches.
Also they will make a number shortly at Mirandola "for th'expedition
of Tuscana." The bp. of Rome sent 4,000 foot to Hungary, and makes
6,000 more to defend his towns in Lombardy. The Marquis of Guasto is
well provided, and so are Naples and Florence. The Venetians remain
neutral and fortify their towns. Janus Bey left six days ago with great
presents. It is uncertain whether the Turk goes to Hungary. Ferdinand
has left Vienna for Buda with 50,000 foot and 15,000 horse, and his
host will increase daily. In Buda are 15,000 Turks, and on the con-
fines 30,000 Turkish horse, Venice,' 1 July 1542.

453. MARILLAC to FRANCIS I.
Since the 15th of last month the Emperor's ambassador has not
stirred from this Court, where he is lodged in the King's house, defrayed,
caressed and visited twice or thrice daily by the lords of the Council, who
are deputed to treat with him. Heard that he was to leave the day
before yesterday, and expected then to learn the result of these in-
trigues, but, learning now that he will stay eighteen days longer, will
not defer writing. Is assured that there is no question of
marriage. To raise the great loan the pretext of the marriage
of the King's children and the enterprise against the enemies
of the Faith was used; but the practices turn all on two points, viz.,
(1) a loan, which the Emperor wants on security of towns in the Low

Counties, and for which the English require St. Omer and Gravelines
put into their hands ; and (2) the passage which the Emperor demands
through this country into Flanders. This latter the English would grant,
provided that affairs between them are settled before the Emperor leaves
Spain, or at least concluded while he is in England, whereas the Emperor
alleges the necessity for haste, and would remit the conclusion of all
treaties until he should be in Flanders; which is like the practice he
lately used with Francis, when under colour of Francis's friendship he
composed all his difficulties. It is not likely that the English will grant
him this, but rather only prolong their intrigues ; and already people
begin to say that all is smoke (que toute ceste treve s.eroit duicte en fumee). .
One of the deputies has told a friend that the ambalssador would depart
from Court as dissatisfied as he went joyous into Flanders. Several others
who manage the finances, and can discern whether they will be com-
manded to pay, hold like language and conclude that the Emperor will
be as far from his intention as he thought to be near to it.
It does not appear that the English wish to move, and it has been re-
ported that the French frontier towns are too strong to be forced; but
the marine preparations continue (although more coldly), and the reason
alleged is that it is for fear of the King of Denmark, who keeps vessels of
war ready, and seizes Flemish ships. The report of the ambassadors
who went to Scotland is also awaited ; for if insecure on that side they
are not likely to innovate elsewhere. It is understood from those who
have charge of the navy, that in three weeks the 15 or 16 ships which
are ringed about Antonne and Porchemeut, mentioned in my last letters,
and the 10 or 12 which are being prepared in this river, will dra,w towards
Rie and the Downs, and thence make sail; and the route which they
then take will show whether their intention is good or bad.
The Count of Apmont,* an Irishman of the quarter of the savages,
who has long made war on this King, came, three days ago, to do homage
to him, not as lord but as King of Ireland, and has sworn fealty. This
the English think much of, hoping thereby to reduce most of their op-
ponents in Ireland to obedience.

say whether the vessel is or is not fit for a quick voyage, but is assured
that arrangements shall be made for the rapid transmission of despatches

The English ambassador complained in a friendly way, yesterday,
to the Admiral that his master was distrusted. The Admiral replied that
Francis had known his good brother too long to doubt him, but the
Flemings spread a bruit that they had treated with the King of Eng-
land, who was to aid them with money and send an army to join them m
making war on France; that Francis had quietly prepared for the de-
fence of his realm but he would never be the first to do anything to
diminish their amity. Marillac must thank the King for the good
language held by his ambassador and assure him that Francis will always
be found ready to enter all alliances (partiz) to perpetuate their amity ;
— observing how he takes this and, above all, trying to get him to con-
firm his ambassador's words. The despatch of 20 June needs no answer.

Dieu garde, Nos penceums que vous fuistis de nos gens." Being answered,
"Your company is gone on the other side of the Forest, and by this
time they be at Arde," they cut over the hill and followed the others.
Thinks they came by the chalk pits to see what fashion our men wouM
use ; who, being warned, kept still their works, and the Frenchmen,
passing at a good trot, said, " Adieu, Adieu." They overtook Du Bies's
band, and, with the footmen, took the conduct of the waggons, and
Du Bies's band turned back. In coming into the Forest they rode
three in a rank through the fairest piece of wheat on this side, at which
is great bruit. On the 4th inst. Du Bies passed through the Forest from
Arde with 60 horse, not armed. In passing he saluted the labourers
very gently, and bade one of the clerks give his commendations to Wallop
and offer his services. He said the like to two of Wallop's horsemen,
who were keeping the scout upon the hill, who had previously warned
Wallop of his coming, and had made the labourers stand within their
strengths with their weapons by them, it being an ill place for horsemen
to enter. He passed without doing any damage to the corn, as the
others might have done had they had so discreet a captain, " which captain
is the Countie Rousse, one of the wildest heads in all the realm of France,
who shall depart shortly from Arde with his band." In his place
is come Mons. de Torsy,' who was lieutenant there last year, and is now
called governor of the county of Guisnes.
In riding towards Boulogne, Du' Bies said he did not expect war this
year, because the Emperor had enterprised things which he could not
bring to' pass. As he was speaking, a horseman overtook him with letters
declaring that war was proclaimed in Flanders between the Emperor and
the duke of Cleves and his part>takers, as the French king, duke of
Saxon and other. Thereupon, he said that if the news were true he
should within 24 hours have word from the King his master. This news
was sent out* of the Burgundians' side, and Wallop's spy learnt it from
one of Du Bies's archers, who said that, after passing the chalk pits, Du
Bies said he was sorry to see the Englishmen stand in array as if they
mistrusted him, and thereupon fell in a choler with certain horsemen of
Arde, being there, for the damage they did when they came to meet
Mons. de Vervin, and blamed Vervin for not appointing them to meet
him on the other side of the Forest towards Fiennes. And he swore that
he would punish any who should so traverse any corn in the English pale,
An espial who came from Arde, 5 July, says the Conte Rowse departed
and Mons. de Torsy arrived the same day, and that now there are 50 men
of arms, where before were 40. The garrison is no longer to change
quarterly, and Torsy remains governor for life, with five captains of 300
pietons under him, whose men will only come in in case of siege. Wrote
lately that Vandosme was at Amyas, and Du Bies and other captains re-
pairing to him there. Sent an espial with orders to go no further than
Mustrull if he heard that Vandosme had left Amyas and Du Bies
returned to Boulogne. He found Du Bies at Mustrull, returning, but,
hearing that Vandosme remained at Amyas, went thither, and
learnt that Vandosme awaited news from the French king,
and intended going to Dorlaunce and along the frontier to his house
at- La Feir. The espial could not learn the cause of the assembly at
Amvas, where the chief bruits were that war was proclaimed between
the Emperor and the duke of Cleves, and that the French king was upon
the borders of Loren, with his army, near a town called Mese. The espial
heard of no assembly of men of war, save that captains were warned to
be ready.

1543,
Sent this day to the captain of Tournehen to know if any such pro-
clamation of war was made. Encloses his reply.*
The works here are marvellous well advanced. Describes their present
state and the difficulty of making the foundations, owing to tHe springs
of water. Praises the diligence of Mr. Surveyor and of Mr. Palmer and
Mr. Vaghen, the King's captains here, who, with their petty captains
and standard bearers, have been continually overseeing the works.
Mr. Vaughan and Mr. Awdeley were out early and late in alt
weathers all this winter past. If the workmen between Calais
and Saint Peturs had been as well overlooked, their work would
be more advanced ; but they have no overseers but clerks, whom
they little regard. Yesterday Mr. Rous, treasurer here, saw that
they had 35 men casting water out of the river, and but 40 labouring in
the river, whereas, with so> many casting water, 500 might have laboured.
It was otherwise when Mr. Wingfield had the oversight there. Describes
the dikes or rivers which Mr. Wingfield has since been occupied in making
between Balingham river and Buttakes house, which are in such state
that if he cut through into Balingham river, much of the water in the
" plasshe " of Arde would be drawn away, " which will not a. little 'bash
them of Arde." Has stayed his doing so until the King's pleasure be
known ; and meanwhile he is at work on " the river that goeth to Perkins
Bruge besides Holett."
Sends Guisnes pursuivant to learn the King's pleasure in this, and
inform them further of the prisoner that lies at Dunkirk for stealing the
King's silver dishes. Desires also to know what to answer if Du Bies
offers to send the Englishman he has in prison, detected of heresy.f

[8 July.] 453. CHAPUYS to GRANVELLE.
Ca^enSar, Nothing important has happened since he wrote on the 30 June.
VI. ii., No. 20. One of his reasons for writing so much in favour of complying with this
King's wishes was that he had to show him and the deputies all his
despatches, having promised to do so when they refused to send any one
to Spain and threatened to break off the negotiations. Would have
promised anything then that they might send an ambassador, as they
have since done.* One cause of their strong desire for an offensive league
against France is evidently the conviction that in case of a war — especiallv
on pretext of the French king's adhesion to the Turk — the people will
readily acquit the King of the payment of his late loan, amounting to
upwards of a million of gold. Another reason for their insisting on the
invasion next year is not to have to wait for payment of the last instal-
ment of the loan before beginning. The French ambassador's cousin,
who was sent to Francis to testify his master's activity, and ask for his
conge, returned from France three days ago. Our friend has not been
able yet to learn anvthing about his mission except that Francis is rather
suspicious of this King's wonderful activity in fitting out warships, and
has commanded the ambassador to make close inquiry. Has no doubt
that even after all the articles of this treaty of closer alliance have been
passed, some difficulty will remain about the King's title of head of the
^ Church of England.
On Sunday last, as the King was returning from mass, the earl of
Desmond and three other Irish lords or gentlemen took leave of him very
humbly, for all the while the King or their interpreter spoke they were
on their knees. Does not know yet what present the King made them.
Must mention before concluding that during discussion of certain
articles of the treaty, the deputies suggested that in case of an offensive
war against France? it would be apreeable to the King if the Emperor
made over to him his claims on the towns of the Somme, viz , Amiens,
Abbeville, Corbie, Bray and La Crotoy, and he would give up his on
Guienne and Gascony, which adjoin the kingdom of Spain, and would be
easy to keep. There has also been a proposal of marriage between the
Prince of Piedmont and this Kind's second daughter, to which Charmyg
sees no objection if the bulk of the treaty should pass, as it would set
the King more strongly against the French.

This is to confirm what he wrote on the 2nd touching the Emperor's
ambassador's practice and the equipping1 of the ships which were made
ready to be sent out of this river, to ride about the Downs, as was said
then, or at Porchemeut as now the chief mariners aver (adding that no
great personage will embark as chief, nor more men than are necessary
for the working of the ships). Will send a man to get information on
the spot. As to the ambassador, after giving out that he would stay 18
or 20 days longer in Court, he next day returned secretly to his lodging^

showing a visage of more satisfaction than perhaps he felt; for if the
practices are not broken there is at least nothing concluded, and the end
is very doubtful. As to war, things seem much cooled ; at least the exe-
cution cannot be so soon as was said a month ago,, for as yet there is no
news of levying men. If in 15 or 20 days there is no further show [of
it] than now one may almost count on the English nob moving for this
year.
Received, the day before yesterday, letters from Scotland, from the bp.
of Haberdyn, who was last ambassador here, mentioning that the gentle-
men* who are gone thither on this King's part meet often with the King
of Scotland's deputies to settle the dispute about the boundary of he
two realms, where of late years there have been troubles; and adding
that the Queen, his mistress, was grosse, as Francis will have heard other-
wise.
In this town are made processions, which are said to be general through-
out the realm, both for the prosperity of the King and his church, and to
incite the people to pray God to preserve the army which the Emperor
sends against the infidels [and] bring back victorious all who have gone
to the expedition of Hungary.

9 July. 478. CHAPUYS to CHARLES V.
Has nothing to add to what he wrote on 30 June, except
that this day, after dinner, he again called on the King to
introduce him to the ibearer,* who was to present his respects
in the name of the Queen of Hungary and inquire if he
had any message in answer to the letter of the King of the
Romans, which arrived two days ago, asking for aid against the Turk.
The King was gratified at the compliment paid to him by the Queen,
and also at the great preparations made in Flanders to protect the country
against the French, and, if necessary, ,to invade. The same intelligence
he said, had reached him from several quarters. He knew that Vendome
a<nd De Biez were on the alert and, though they had not yet assembled
their full strength, had many thousands on the rolls, who could be
mustered in 24 hours, and both those generals had informed one of tbeir
captains at Calais that war had already been proclaimed by sound of
trumpet in Flanders against the Dukes of Cleves and Holstein — a fact
which Chapuys told him was highly improbable.
The King at first evaded giving any answer about assistance against
the Turk, passing from one topic to another. At last Chapuys told him
plainly he must not, complain of not having been invited, as other princes
had been — viz., the King of France a,nd the Duke of Cleves, — to unite in
a. crusade; for if the States of the Empire had sent, as he affirmed, a
mission to King Francis, it was certainly not to secure his assistance
against the Turk, with whom they knew him to be in league, but to
warn him to forbear from any undertaking against the Emperor while
they themselves undertook to repulse the Infidel. The Duke of Cleves
* George,
34 HENRY VIII, 279
1542.
had been called on, like other vassals of the Empire, to contribute money
and men. Neither case was similar to his. No doubt the King of the
Romans might have informed him sooner of the deliberations of the Diet
of Spires, but he had been occupied visiting the Tyrol, Bohemia, Moravia
&c., and moreover trusted to the promise made by the English ambassa-
dors* at, Regensburg, that if the other princes did their duty Henry would
not be the last to arm against the Turk.1 The King could not be ignorant
of the resolution taken at the Diet of Spires, which was approved by
every prince attending it, except Francis, and that even if the Pope had
not sent the men he promised he would not fail to send either them or
an equivalent in money. The differences between the duke of Brunswick
and the Landgrave would not prevent the expedition taking place, and
the Emperor would soon find means to adjust them. Even if it were too
late in the year to send a force it was not too late to remit money. And
it was no use Henry alleging difficulties of procuring bills on Germany
&c. Henry said he had been told there was money enough in Germany
for the enterprise, but that he would think about it.
Forgot to say that one of the arguments brought forward by the King
in support of his refusal, was that the Turk would not come down in
person, but on Chapuys telling him how important it was to drive him
out of Hungary altogether, and stop his advance on Germany, as the
aid voted by the Empire is to last three years, he only replied, half in
joke, that he thought there would no longer be a question of the Turk,
for the Pope would conclude peace between the Emperor and France;
and the Turk, at the intercession of his good ally, who has again
(he understands) sent or promised to send him 24 galleys, would
retire from Hungary and make perpetual truce with Christendom. Re-
plied that if there were no other danger he could easily advance some
money on condition of its being repaid in case events turned out as he
described. After these and other remarks, told the King he had not yet
received an answer from the Queen of Hungary to Count du Roelux's
overtures, but heard that she had written to the Emperor about them, and
was expecting an answer from Spain. The King seemed much pleased,
and said that if the project did not take effect this year the opportunity
would be lost. London, 9 July 1542.

9 July. 479 . PAGET to HENRY VIII.
R. o. Going to see the fashion of this Court, found the Admiral had been
St. p., ix. sick of an ague two days, and was in bed. Dined with the Cardinal
Belley, with whom also dined the Cardinal of Scotland; and at table
was much commended the amity shown in England to this King. " But,"
quoth Card. Belley in Paget's ear, " il faut continuer." " So we do," re-
plied Paget in his ear, " and yet you be not worthy to have so good a friend,
that so sinisterly and suddenly suspect your friend without cause ; " and
went on, aloud, to talk of the magnificence of Henry's houses of Hampton
Court, Windsor, &c. Describes conversation apart, after dinner, with
Card. Belley, in which the latter expressed surprise that England nhould
now succour the Imperials ; and Paget replied expressing surprise that
they should suspect such a friend as Henry had proved himself to be.
In excuse the Cardinal laid the fault on the common voice, saying it were
alms to whip them that talk so, but the devil could not stop them, even
in the King's Council, saying there would be war and England would aid
the Emperor; but if so they would send the Scots, Danes and Swedes
to eat up all the Englishmen in four days. Paget said Englishmen were
not easy morsels to swallow, the Scots knew it and the Danes and Swedes

were wise fellows and knew that those who came into England could not
depart without licence. They then discoursed generally, about this last
treaty of marriage, until the .Admiral sent his secretary to call Paget.
Found the Admiral in bed. Details long conversation, in which, after
mutual compliments, the Admiral said nothing was talked of but war,
and that their best friend had left them; he called Henry their best
friend, and would always continue to love him next to his own master,
although it was often cast in his teeth, and he thought Paget well affected
towards them. Paget replied, expressing grief at these false bruits,
which arose of the ambassador's* going into Inlanders, and described the
course of the dispute with Flanders about the edicts, saying that, when
Henry refused to send another envoy to the lady Regent, the ambassador
offered to go, and had procured the abrogation of the td^ct in Flanders,
and perhaps Henry might now be induced to abrogate his; but as for
league or marriage there was no conclusion, whatever the ambassador
might have offered. The Admiral answered that he never believed but
that England would be their friend and ally perpetual, and never heard
the contrary in France or England, but from spam and Flanders, where
he had men for the nonce to see the world; where the Regent bruited
that a cross marriage was concluded, viz., the Emperor to marry one of
Henry's daughters and a son of King Ferdinand another, and receive a
duchy (of Richmond or the like) in England, that Mons. de Rees goes
to Calais to receive money, giving Bourburgh, Gravelin and Dunkerke
in gage, and that Monsi Boyssus, the Grand Esquire, goes to England,
and that one of Henry's captains at Calais told the Emperor's ambassador
that he could take Arde in 14 days. Pajget said these were marvellous
news, and asked for one token either of war or of more amity with the
Emperor ; 'adding that frontier captains were like fish of the sea, " for as
th'one desireth nothing but water so th'other desireth nothing but war."
The Admiral said that much was made of the ambassador, but
Paget answered that it was the English fashion, and the
ambassador was lodged in the Court because Hampton Court,
as he knew, was two miles from any town; besides, he thought,
the French doubted no treaty with the Emperor, being at a point with
him to have Milan and Flanders and what they would (he wished the
Admiral more honor in this than hef had who treated it last), and sure
of it since the Bishop of Rome, who deceives no man, was the great worker
in it. The Admiral said Henry might assure them of Milan if he would,
but for himself he would not believe till he saw, and the Emperor's
promises were not to be trusted, as would shortly be seen. His master
trusted no man but his good brother and perpetual ally, and would em-
brace any device to increase their amity and extend it. to posterity.
Bayard then came from the French King and Paget took leave.
Begs pardon if he said more about the edicts than was prescribed to
him; and explains tJiat he must often use "good words" in conversa-
tion with the Admiral, but in material points he will say nothing to
compromise Henry.
A Scottish man, James Melvile,$ has been with him. He seems learned t
and was entertained in England by the late lord Crumwell. He dare
not tarry in Scotland, but would fain dwell in England. He is gone
now from Rowen to Rome, where he says he dwells, and knows Pole and
his companions. Describes conversation with him, in which he offered to
tend regular news from Rome (where he is reader to two cardinals},
* ChapuyB, t Montmorency. J Melvely in § *.
34 flENHY VIII 281
1542.
through a kinsman, "a true evangelic and a good Christian man" in
the French king's guard. Thinking perhaps to entrap some of those
caitiff's at Home, Paget accepted his offer, and received >( bynames " for
Pole and his fellows, and a direction for his letters (to his brother),
which are sent herewith, but assigned him to send his letters to Lyvns,
to an English merchant at Bonvyse's, who sometimes sends Paget news of
France and Italy. Trusts he has not offended, and asks wliether to con-
tinue this practice with Melvile.
The opinion here of direct war with England is diminished, but that
of the lending money to the Emperor, and joining with him in straiter
amity will not out of their heads; and, considering their old fashion
to pick quarrels and give the first buffet when they see advantages, Paget
must suspect them.
This King is come back, from the way of Lyons, to Ligny; leaving
the Queen at Genvile. His company is very small, only the Dolphin,
Admiral, Chancellor, and two or three Cardinals; and the Dolphin is
hourly expected to follow his train towards Languedoc. Mons. de Guise
went on Monday to St. Menehow, on the Marne, followed yesterday by
Mons. d'Orleauns. These two shall do the feat on Luxembourg, and the
Franche Countie, having 2,000 horse besides 2,000 that come from Cleves,
and of foot 12,000 legioners, 3,000 adventurers, and 16,000 Almains, of
whom 6,000 are come and the rest are coming with the horse from Cleves,
under Mons. de Longevale and the Ma,rshai of Cleves, if the Prince of
Orange and Mons. de Bure, who are in Luxembourg, will let them pass.
As the Frenchmen counted these Almains innumerable and the Imperials
counted them none, Paget sent into Lorraine to enquire ; and learns that
Count Bekelyn of Strozburgh is 4 leagues hence with 2,000, anct the
baron of Hadeck (who has been here) 2 leagues from Nancy with 4,000,
being part of Count Guillaum's band, who, on his way hither, visiting his
mother at a castle on this side the Rhine, was recognised, and is so
watched by Imperials that he dare not issue out. De Longevale and the
Marshal have but 1,000 horse and 5,000 foot. There come daily by
stealth into Lorraine parties of 10 or 12, but without weapons; and some
with wives and children, intending not to return to Almain. Three cartr
loads of pikes have been sent them, and at St. Menehow are hackbushes
and other artillery, and also 10,000 of their Frenchmen and all their
horsemen. This King will depart after the Dolphin, when he hears that
this army is in order.
In Piedmont they will only defend, and the passages are stopped for
the Italians, who were expected; who are found dead here and there,
" by five and six in a company, no man knoweth how. They impute it to
the Marquis de Guasto, but he denieth it." Their great enterprise will
be done by the Dolphin upon Spain, for which Montpesac has levied
20,000 in Gascoyni and Languedoc; -and Brysac and the duke Destampes
(leaving Danebault and Langey in Piedmont) will bring the rest, 12,000,
to Perpignan. The enterprise is delayed by tarrying for Barbarossa's
navy, which is to join the French galleys at Marseilles, and go to
Barcelona. Chevalier Daus (of whom Paget wrote before) is escaped,
with his two galleys, to conduct them. They provide 100,000 kyntals
of biscuit in Languedoc and Provence, and really look for 60 galleys
from Barbarossa. This King has at Marseilles 15 galleys, 2 galeasses,
3 galleons and one other ship, the prior of Cape 6 galleys, and Chevalier
Daus 2 galleys. The King has 3,000 horse in the county of Avignon,
fearing that the Bishop of Home would admit the Spaniards.
The Emperor's ambassador practises with Madame Destampes for
peace, The King says he intends no war, but makes provision as the

Emperor does so. A courier of the Emperor's, with letters from the
Franche Countie to Spain, was taken in Dolphinie at Valence with the
French King's arms upon his shoulder. The King says the Emperor's
ambassador shall have the letters, " but the courier shall first have his
process made." The ambassador and the King talked on Thursday
after their old fashion, with sour looks. Great watch is kept since the
King came, for fear of certain light horsemen in the Franche Countie. We
begin to look for Pulciano, but despair of good at his hands. The am-
bassadors of Sweden have concluded the same amity (to be friend and
enemy and provide mutual aid of ships) as the Danes did. They
brought the Queen of Sweden's brother in love with a gentlewoman* of
this Court, and he went 14 days past to Sweden for his master's leave to
treat for marriage. The Chancellor of Sweden and the other shall be
despatched to-morrow.
Letters from Venice state that Piers Strozza, captain of Maran, has
burnt towns of King Ferdinand. Six foists of the Imperials entered the
Gulf of Venice to attack Maran, but the Venetians expelled them.
Guasto appointed certain gentlemen in Venice to slay Piers Strozza, who,
however, set upon them first. An earthquake between Bononie and
Florence has destroyed many towns, churches and people. The fair palace
of the Medices and eight other castles about Florence are destroyed. At
Buda 4,000 Turks, who issued out of the town and attacked the camp, are
slain.
Mons. Dade is returned rebus infectis, for we will not join with Portugal

Seven Italians were made cardinals on 3 June. Their names (if Henry
will waste time in reading them) are Messer Matrcello Crescentio, il vescovo
de Modena, il castellano de Santo Agnelo, Messer Pomponio Cecio, Messer
Roberto Puccio, Don Gregorio Cortesio del Ordine di Santo Benedetto,
and il maestro del Sacro Pallacio del Ordine di Santo Dominico. The
others whom the Emperor, French King and Ferdinand wrote for, and
the nuncios with the Emperor and French King, " his holy fatherhood
(forsooth) keepeth ire scrinio pectoris" till Lanimas, when he thinks to
see how the game will go, and bestow his red hats to suit his purpose.

482. CHEKE to GARDINER.
The letter sent by his Vice-chancellor's son makes it easier for
Cheke to answer him. Protests that he has been deferential to Gardiner s
authority as bishop ;and chancellor, adding " Quid enim amplius me facere
voluisti? Literis tuis sum publice accusatus: moderate tuli. Scripsisti
edictum : ut debui, obtemperavi. Dedisti ad me literas. : diligenter re-
spondi. Interdum lapsus es: occupationibus tuis concessi." Defends
himself from the charge of arrogance, and argues at great length upon the
expediency of introducing the corrected pronunciation. Shows tnat his
opponents at Cambridge are not learned, and foreign scholars favor a
reform of pronunciation, as Smith,* who made much progress abroad in
civil law, can testify. Fears that the Bishop has been swayed by the
sole opinion of Robert Radcliff. Thinks that when the Mahometan
Turks are reported so to cultivate the Arabic and Punic tongue that all
Eastern nations are fired by their industry, we ought to spend soma labour
upon the Christian tongues, Greek and Latin. Begs him to remit the
severity of his edict.

glad to haive passed over his arrogance — a quality Cheke does not show
in other matters; but it is a pest and labes inytnioruni. Replies
at great length to his arguments, taking note of his references to Smith
and Radcliff. Ends with at warning to be careful. Hampton Court,

On Wednesday, the 7th, f George arrived, and, after perusing the
letters he brought from the Queen and Ferdinand, Chapuys sent to Hamp-
ton Court for an audience, which was at once granted, but was put off
till yesterday, Sunday, as the King was much engaged, and was going
to return to town on Saturday. He was wonderfully pleased with the
Queen's complimentary letter and George's visit and his going to Spain.
He was also pleased with her vigilance in unravelling the enemy's designs.
As to the aid against the Turks, after Chapuys had urged the arguments
in the instructions of the King of the Romans, with other arguments, he
alleged various excuses, as that he had not been invited like other
princes. It was no use, he said, urging that his ambassadors | had made
promises for him at the diet of Regensburg that if other princes did

their duty in that matter so would he, for not every one of the German
princes had promised to contribute, and even the Pope had not sent a
man. Besides, if the Grand Turk did not come in person no more help
was needed; and, further, it was too late, for before men or money
arrived, the affair would be decided one way or the other. Replied,
pertinently enough, as he believes, to each of the King's arguments, and
after keeping silence for a time, he said he would consult his Council
about it. Finally, for a bonne bouche, told the King that George was
the bearer of the Queen's letter to the Emperor on De Roeux's pro-
posal. London, 10 July 1542.
P.S. — Forgot to mention that he believes the English will be satisfied
if the revocation of the edict on navigation in the Low Countries be pro-
claimed exactly in the manner set forth in her letters of the 1st without
further ceremony. Has not spoken about it lest he should give them

K. O. Being lodged inconveniently far (4 miles) from Court, sent, this
S*' ffi' **' mormng> his furrier and his lacquey to provide a lodging at Ligny,
where his lacquey, being assaulted and almost wounded to death by the
furrier of Signer Horatio, the bp. of Rome's nephew, before he could
draw his weapon, bickered with the furrier, and slew him. On learning
this, repaired to the Admiral, who promised favour. The Admiral said
that, yesterday, they despatched a secretary, called Loobyny (L'Aubes-
pine) to their ambassador. Paget said he was sorry he had not known
it; but, in order that he should know nothing, his lodging was always
provided with the furthest from the Court. The Admiral said he was
sorry; he had sent everywhere to seek him (though in fact he saw the
King's servant Hammes and Paget's clerk, whom he knows well, half
a dozen tunes yesterday); but, he added, it was no matter of import-
ance.
" ' I pray you what is it', quod I, ' if I may know it.' ' Mary,' quod he
'the King my master, being displeasant of these bruits and noises that
have run in every place, was, I assure you, right glad when I told him
that which you told me this other day, and for that cause hath written
a letter with his own hand to his good brother the King, your master,
declaring his affection towards him and the rejoisance he doth conceive
of th'amity he perceiveth his brother beareth unto him; requiring him
so to continue as his good brother and perpetual ally. And, whereas,
his love towards his good brother is such that he hath always been minded
to communicate unto him his great affairs, as to his good brother and
perpetual ally, so at this present, forasmuch as th'Emperor doth not only
keep from him his lands and possessions (which injury he could perad-
venture have borne), but also hath outraged him in killing his ambas-
sadors and other messengers contrary to all honor and law, he hath
thought convenient to signify unto his good brother that, seeing the
redress thereof cannot be had between princes but by the sword, he is
determined to take his advantage and to pursue the revenge upon some
of th'Emperor's countries.'" Paget replied that he was sorry he had
not heard of this despatch ; for he would have written. Trusts his ser-
vant may yet reach the King before the Ambassador's access.
This day the Dolphin departed for Lyons, where Brysack and Anebault
will meet him with as many of the bands of Piedmont as can be spared.

the Danube, half of them came over the river by the town and castle,
where the King, Queen, lords and ladies stood eight or nine hours to
see them pass. Next day the other half came over in like manner. On
the 9th, passed 4,000 Etalyanes of the Bp. of Rome's, to embark in the
boats, which number about 300, and go before to the King's town called
Pest, 5 miles of this country from Bewda. The army marches, towards
Pest, two country miles a day, so that they reckon to be there in 10 days,
there to await the coming of 10,000 Almenes and 12,000 Boyemes, which
were to have been with them ere this. The marquis of Branborow, the
lieutenant, will not venture his men till they come. Eight score waggons
have gone with the army, each carrying a boat, described. The battery
pieces, 36 double cannons, remain here; so that, apparently, the King
does not intend to besiege Buda, for he cannot have many such pieces at
Pest, having lost all at the last siege of Buda. Proclamation is made for
all Frenchmen to avoid the camp. Never nation was "worse beloved in

Wrote on the 29th July (sic) that Vandosme should come to Arde
with ordnance; but the purpose was changed, and, on Sunday, 9th inst.,
there passed by the King's forest, from Bulogne, one double cannon and
five other pieces, with six waggons laden with shot and powder, conducted
by Mons. de Vervin and Mons. de Fuxsalles and 90 horse of Du Bies's
band, as far as Bucholt, where the garrison of Arde received them.
These pieces were given to the French King by the clothiers of Roane.
Mons. de Fuxsalles came from Court, within this 3 or 4 days, saying that
abstinence from war for 20 days, of which 12 were past, was taken at
the bishop of Rome's suit, and the French King retired from Loren
(where Countie Guillame should have met him with 10,000 Almains,
but could not because "the passages in Almen be so kept") towards
Lyons, where he can answer to his armies both in Piedmont and towards
Naveir. The bruit in Picardy is that their King is in better terms with
England and that Du Bies says they shall " have no war with the English-
men this year." For fear of the Imperials, Vandosme and Du Bies have
ready in Picardy and the Boulinos 200 men of arms and 10,000 foot-
men, besides the ordinary garrisons; and, for fear of them, the Bur-
gundians have at St. Omer's 500 Almains, at Ayre 300, at Bytten 300,
at Lyle 300, and at Arras 500. Proclamation was made on Friday,
7th inst., at St. Omer's and other market towns, against delivering
victuals to Frenchmen.
Mistrusting the coming of so much ordnance to Arde, when the outer
gate of this castle is down and the braies open (a necessity as the Sur-
veyor says), and there are so many horse and foot in Arde, sent an espial
to see whether the ordnance remained in the! market place there; and
learnt that it was bestowed upon the mounts in the bulwarks towards
Muttorie, Owtinges and Balingham ; which report he " did not mislike."

ness that there is good hope of him. He required a commission for sup-
pressing the abbeys in his country, in which he and Donoghe should be ;
and this has been made and sent to be executed. He has certain plate
of the rebel Thomas Fitzgerald's gift, which he desires the King to give
him, saying it is not worth over 100/. He asked the Council to inter-
cede for the pardon of Robt. Walshe, who was Fitzgerald's servant, and
is attainted ; also for a general pardon to the inhabitants of Thomond,
which would need an Act of Parliament.
At sundry sessions of Parliament petition has been made that, of
numerous ancient statutes which remain unprinted and therefore un-
known, those now beneficial might be printed and the rest abrogated.
Ask whether to have them perused and sent over in form of an Act, for
correction; for the Irishry who submit are in doubt of such uncertain
laws. Haive sent John Travers, master of the Ordnance, and John
Brereton, captain of the footmen, to aid Maguyllem, who is invaded by
Ochaan, supported, as is supposed, by O'Doneill's galloglasses. Have
heard the petitions of the Byrnes, of Leinster, who are the nearest Irish-
men to Dublin, but defer concluding with them until the King's pleasure
is known ; for when the corn is ripe, which is now extremely scarce, we
mean to advance towards the Cavanaghes "for the perfection of their
obedience." Being at good point with Obrien, Oneil, Ochonor, Oraylie
and Omor, we trust to bring those Cavanaghes to the King's order, if
the army here may be furnished with money. That done, the King may
diminish half the army. It is the enterprise of first importance here.

' the " latter purpose," of which he sent the minute. The French ambas-
sador resident was with the King at Assher on Thursday last, hunted
with him all the afternoon, and was lodged at Hampton Court, where the
Council and Household remained. The cause of his repair was that he
had letters from his master showing affection for the King's amity, and
wishing some purpose set forth for its increase. The King answered
that he marvelled they gave such faith to light bruits which nothing
done here warranted : true it was that the Emperor's ambassador was
at Court, and afterwards went to Flanders and returned, about the
edicts made touching traffic, and their edict had been revoked ; other
overtures were made, but no conclusion taken except that. The King
also said he would break no amity unless provoked, praying them to inter-
pret it no worse if he should send men of war to defend his own than
he did their late sending of men and munitions to Arde.

StEp°'ix. Upon the late return of the Emperor's ambassador out of Flanders
96! he has declared to Henry, and written, as he says, to the Emperor, that
Mons. de Reulx suggested the sending over of 4,000 Englishmen for an
enterprise upon Muttrell this yeary before it is fully fortified; adding
that he could supply 6,000 or 7,000 men, and doubted not to put the
King in possession of it now, but next year it would be too strong to
take. Desiring to know what number De Reulx could make, if the
Emperor renew that matter, appoints him to write and arrange a secret
meeting with De Reulx; and devise with him, as one whom the King
knows to be " a right Burgonyon, a true man to his master and a friend
to England," how many men he could make at two or three days' warn-
ing, what order should be kept, what ordnance and munition they could
lend until the King might furnish it from hence, and, generally, what
such an enterprise requires, raising all objections which his experience
may suggest. As the Frenchmen have lately sent men and munitions
to Arde, intends to increase his garrisons at Guisnes a,nd elsewhere,
making up Wallop's retinue to 100 horsemen, and sending over 1,000
foot with all diligence. Commands him to furnish himself with the said
100 horsemen, or if he cannot furnish all there, send hither for them.

StRp°ra ^re commanded by Sir Thos. Wriothesley, one of the King's two
401. principal secretaries, to declare their proceedings in execution of a com-
mission to Sir Ant. Seyntleger, Deputy of Ireland, Thos. Walssh, baron,
of the Exchequer, now deceased, and the writers, to examine articles ex-
hibited against Wm. Brabazon, vice-treasurer in Ireland, by Lord
Leonard, late deputy there. Perceiving, by Robt. Cowley and by the
said articles, that the King should be deceived in the first account taken
by Sir Ant. Seyntleger, Mr. Moyle, and others, they committed the
same account, with the copy of the articles, to the justices, the barons
and others of the Exchequer and the Council, jointly with Cow-
ley, to examine them together. After five or six weeks they all
(Cowley except) could only say that they heard that Brabazon
had received more of the traitors' goods than he accounted for. After-
wards Cowley exhibited a great book against the vice-treasurer, of
concealments, omissions, &c. Could not at once examine it, as they were
riding for the survey of Kildare, Catherlagh and Meth ; and after their
departure Cowley sent the book to "your Lordships." Told him after-
wards that he did wrong to trouble the King with it (his Highness's com-
missioners being there) before they had examined it, and he replied that
he heard the bp. of Dublin and the Vice-treasurer had written against
him, and he sent it to keep his credit. Perused the book, and took
the Vice-treasurer's answer, to which Cowley replied naming witnesses.
Desired him, as he was master of the Rolls, to subpoena the witnesses,
which he did, and the writers examined them and found only that, at
the first arrival of the army, the Vice-treasurer's servants took sundry
traitors' goods not answered to in the first account. To this the Vice-
treasurer answered that such goods as came to his hands were accounted
for, as none taken by the other captains were. The witnesses also de-
posed to hurts done by the Vice-treasurer and his servants to sundry men,
who may have their remedy by law. Have the signed depositions to show.
Travailed in taking surveys and reckonings in Ireland for three w^ole
years, abiding there for one complete year, and, since their return, have
made " duplicamentes " of their books, to be sent thither ; and now they
desire to come to their declaration and be discharged of the books.

the Admiral that Francis meant to persevere in the amity, and added
; • .that Francis would regret any change in the said amity, which he desired
to restrict and perpetuate by all " moyens et partiz honestes " rather than
infringe or diminish. It is true that this King said his ambassador had
spoken without express charge, but that he had done the office of a good
. minister who knew his master's intention, and was sure not to be dis-
avowed. The Admiral gave occasion for it by objecting that here a
marriage was being made with the Emperor, and the Flemings subsidised
to make war on France (of which news this King made Marillac partly
the author, saying that his information was wrong, and persuading him
that these intrigues by the Emperor's ambassador were not founded upon
a practice for a marriage or loan or attack on France, but to compose a
difference with the Flemings1 about navigation, in which the Flemings
were so rigorous as not to permit their own subjects to lade in English
ships, which was now moderated, and the ambassador reported from
Flanders, whither he went for that sole cause, that both parties were
satisfied). And this King complained that in France he was suspected,
and that the frontiers and especially Ardres, were so reinforced with
men and artillery that he had cause on his side to doubt, and to do
the like at his places beyond sea; adding that his ambassador ought not
to be treated more rudely than accustomed, for, although Francis him-
self was always gracious, others had for sometime past looked askance at
him, and everyone spoke of the English as if they were declared enemies.
Also that he (this King) knew what Francis was practising with the
Emperor, in which, the Pope having been at the commencement inter-
cessor and medium, he had been informed once that Francis would
send a man to the Emperor, but in the end that had been broken off.
The King ended by saying that, as he wished to entertain the amity
so long established between Francis and him, he desired to avoid all
occasions which might cool it, which might occur if the one distrusted
the other.
Thinks it a good sign that this King has thus unburdened his heart,
for, besides that it is his custom to grumble, Marillac has observed
that when he has decided to remain a friend he begins by complaining
that there is no correspondence of amity on Francis's part. Did not
omit to reply to his objections; and defended himself from the charge
of writing lightly by saying that he wrote the fashion of the Emperor's
ambassador's journeying into Flanders, brief return and subsequent Ion?
sojourn at Court, and that everyone said it was to obtain money and
the Emperor's passage through England (which also was confirmed from
Spain), but wrote nothing of marriage. The Flemings made use of
that bruit; and they had colour for it, when an ordinary ambassador
was lodged in the King's house, departed secretly at night in the King's
litter, accompanied by several gentlemen of the Household, was every-
where received like the greatest personage that the Emperor could send,
.crossed the sea with an escort of ships, went, on land, day and night,
although so indisposed that he can use no member of his body save
his tongue, and finally returned as quickly as an ordinary courier. The
above was notorious, and, if. the King gained by thus despatching the
34 HENRY VIII. 291

ambassador for a dispute about navigation, the Flemings interpreted
it to their advantage, and their neighbours had cause to look to the
security of their frontiers. If Ardres was provided for defence it was
with no intention of invading Guynes; and Francis was not so devoid
of common sense as, when about to resent the wrong the Emperor did
him, to add the forces of England to those of his enemy, and so make
his enterprise more difficult. As to the treatment of his ambassador,
Marillac thought it was no other than usual; and, if he complained of
what the common people said, Marillac had much more cause to tell the
language ordinarily used to his men by people here, viz., that they will
shortly make a sacrifice of all the French, and are only waiting till the
Flemings are ready; an ambassador should not notice such words, but
only the sayings of kings or of their Councils, or things which are
evidently of consequence.
As to practices between Francis and the Emperor, Marillac knew
no particulars, except that everyone wondered that Francis would not
listen to the great and advantageous partis which the Emperor offered
him; and at all events Francis would give Henry no occasion to
distrust him.
Left the King very satisfied, as appeared both by his countenance
and by what his Council afterwards said, to whom he communicated all
their conversation; and he made Marillac stay at his Court, which is
30 miles from here, and spend the rest of the day in hunting with
him, and afterwards sleep at his house of Hault en Cour, three miles
off, where he (Marillac) was lodged and treated in the same place and
by the same servants who attended the Emperor's ambassador; to
show that no less account was made of him, and persuade him that
the said ambassador's journey was only about navigation. Although
the truth may be to the contrary, and the English might have at first
intended some descent beyond sea, but afterwards changed purpose,
there is at least no appearance that they will do anything this year.
They have sent men-of-war over sea to reinforce the garrisons, but not
so many as to cause alarm. At the writer's taking his leave, this King
(who will not go in this progress more than 15 or 20 miles away from
this town) said he had just received letters from his ambassador, which
were not yet all deciphered, but, by what he had yet seen, it appeared
that the Admiral had expressed a desire for some overture to be made
to draw this amity closer. Then, after a pause, he said that heretofore
a marriage* was proposed which was no longer spoken of. and he did
not see what other thing could be put forward. Thought best to make
no answer, both because the King said he had not seen the whole letter,
and not to show that he had charge to renew the subject of the said
marriage; and so took leave, promising to return shortly with the
answer to this.

The French, on the 14th fast., came against the town of Dunvillers,

sent thither by the seneschal of Hainault, was afraid to go, but a
gentleman named Hezecq and three gentlemen of Namur have gone
thither. Four ensigns of High Almains are ready to enter Thionville, where

E- °- Begs, the King to attribute any mistakes he may make, in writing
news during this voyage, to his lack of the language and late coming
hither. Wrote last from Vienna, 10th inst., that this army would
abide at Pest; which he should have written Stregonne, for Pest is the
Turks'. The army will go straight from Stregonne to besiege Pest, in
which are 8,000 Turkish footmen, and which is weak on one side
because7 there is " no rampayre jovned to the wawle." If they win it
they will fortify it and end for this year. They will tarry at Stregonne
to hear how the king of Hungary and princes of Jarmeny, now together
at Norenberge, agree. The Turk will not come, but send 20,000 light
horse; whereof the Almenes are sorry, for they hoped for his coming
to join battle with them. Tarry here five days for pioneers to mend
the ways; the Almenes blame the King and Hans Honganode, his
lieutenant, for not foreseeing it. Also they are not content to pay for
their victuals, for they take the Hungarians "as good Christians as the
Turks." The King, to satisfy them, promises that next year the Hun-
garians shall take their share.
It is said that the Elector of Saxony and Lanesgrave will make war
on the Duke of Bransweke, for certain ill words that Duke has said
of them. "This Duke of Bransweke is taken for the greatest Papist
that is in all Jarmeny." Rakendorffe, in Hungary, 16 July.

17 July. 506. WALLOP to the COUNCIL.
R. O. Yesterday, the Captain of Tournehen came to dinner, to renew
old acquaintance, who was in the King's service under both Norfolk
and Suffolk. He says the Emperor has in Luxembrough 20,000 Alniem
and 4,000 other footmen of Naxnurois and Leigios, and 6,000 horsemen.
Mons. d'Orliaunce lies with his army 8 or 10 leagues France ward. The
French have put water in their wine for this year. Count Guillame
could bring no lance knights and is retired into Almen. They have
enough to give battle to all the footmen in France; but he esteems
the French horsemen. The Duke of Clevis has not above 4,000 foot
and 3,000 horse; for all Gelderland denied him, and also many horse-
men Clevois who had before served the Emperor. Now the said Duke
begins to relent and has sent to the Regent; but she defers answering
until she hear from the Electors, to whom she wrote of all the practice
of the French King and the Duke. Thinks that if she receive answer
to her purpose she intends something with her army, for provision is
made for carts and waggons, and the Great Master musters men to
garrison St. Omer's, Haire, Bitton and Arras. Wallop wrote that there
were lance knights there, but now perceives that is not so. The Great
Master assembles as many horsemen as possible, besides the ordinary
men of arms and the horsemen that were mustered at Gawnte. The
captain said the French now boast that the King's Majesty is sure for
them, and seemed afraid of it. He heard that some Turks had come
to Buda and had an overthrow. The Marquis of Gwast, in Millain,
has 10,000 good lance knights. The French King looked for many
Swichers, but divers of the cantons refuse to serve him. The Emperor's
army in Navarre is very puissant.
The above is all Wallop could learn from the Captain, save that he
abhorred the French practices in Flanders and with the Turk. Has
no certain news out of France; but a number of horsemen, some of
them Italians, and footmen arquebusiers are said to be coming, and
Wallop 'has sent to verify it. On Thursday, 13th inst., was proclaimed
at Arde that no French subject should deliver victuals to the Em-
peror's subjects, "Ml all merchandise to have their course; and to us
they come since more plentifully than they did before." The Regent

Spanish
As he wrote on the 1st (3rd?), called on the King, who, in a long
speech, declared to him, among other things, how important it was for
her to provide for the defetnce of the two islands of which he wrote on
the 3rd, frankly declaring that at the time he fancied the Emperor in-
tended making war on him, he had himself purposed to surprise them,
as he could defend and relieve them from Hull, from which the crossing
could be effected in 24 hours. He said he was sure the Duke of Hoi-
stein had now his eye on them, and if he got them could put all Holland
under subjection, in which he might have the assistance of the Duke of
Cieves. He showed an admirable chart with the two islands on it,
which Chapuys sends to the Queen by his permission, to be returned as
soon as possible, adding that he could not rest till his advice was followed
and the defence of the islands seen to, as he himself might find the Duke
an unpleasant neighbour. Indeed, it was reported that he had said
that if he failed in his enterprise against Holland, the King of England,
who made good cheer and mistrusted nothing, might pay the shot.
Hopes the Duke will commence his game over there and exasperate the
King, for should he follow it up to the waters of Hull, as he probably,
will, to attempt anything against this kingdom, he will get such a thrash-
ing that, for the time at least, he will abandon all thought of attacking
us.
The King reported to me the other day the substance of the conversa-
tion which the French ambassador held with him, which agrees sub-
stantially with the account in a letter of King Francis to him (copy* en-
closed). Only he did not statef that it was his own ambassador in
France who began the game and gave occasion for such compliments.
Took, of course, no notice of the omission. The King said further that
Francis had sent a secretary of hisj with" a letter of credence entirely
in his own hand. The secretary had arrived that very day (the 16th),
though, two days before, the King had heard of his intended despatch
from his ambassador in France. He has, however, put off his audience
for two days, which the French will not like, for the King says they in-
tend, in conjunction with a Turkish fleet, to attack Catalonia, while a
land force marches on Perpignan.
The King requested him to communicate the above news to Granvelle
without saying it came from him. He did not think much of the enter-
prise, or of others which Francis was said to entertain, the season was
so far advanced, provided only the Duke of Holstein could be prevented
landing in some island where he could winter. Sees no likelihood of aid
being granted to the King of the Romans against the Turk. When
pressed he answered drily that money was not so plentiful as to be spent
in an enterprise without foundation and ojut of season, and that if the
treaty with the Emperor came to a good issue, money spent against the
French would be as meritorious. Did not insist further on his answer-
ing the King of the Romans' letter that he might again have occasion
to return to the attack. Of all the excuses he offered, the most singular
was that he considered the Hungarian war over, as 4,000 Turkish horse
which had sallied out of Buda had actually been defeated in a skirmish.
As a similar report had come from France, he believed that the wax
there would soon be at an end. London, 19 July 1542.

Not to delay the enclosed packet from the Regent, which he is
told is very important, will be brief. This King, fearing lest the Duke
of Holstein should get a footing on some part of Holland, especial y the
two islands at the mouth of the Channel of Amsterdam, has owned to
Chapuys that at the time when he feared the Emperor would attack him
he had himself thought of surprising those islands, which could be easily
defended from Hull, &c., as in No. 513. The French ambassador
had spoken with the King two days before in terms similar to those of
Francis's letter, of which a copy is enclosed ; * but in reporting their con-
versation to Chapuys, the King ga,ve no indication that it was his own
ambassador in France that began the game, and gave occasion to such
compliments, and Chapuys, for his part, took care not to appear aware
of it. The King then s-aid a, servant of King Francis had arrived with
credentials in Francis's own hand, and had this very morning applied
for an audience, which the King had granted him for the 21st. Did not
ask about his mission ; but has this very morning obtained a copy of
Francis's instructions to him, which Chapuys forwards ;f his name, it
will be seen, is Claude de L'Aubespine.

of England desire to enter the league the ambassador is to reveal to him

words uttered by the English ambassador in France in the Admiral's pre-
sence and watch particularly the King's countenance and mien,
3. As to the King's forces, Longueval has under his command 14,000
lanzknechts and 2,000 horse, which will in a few days join with Orleans,
who is already in Luxemburg with 13,000 lanzknechts more and 16,000
French foot, 6,000 more of the legion of Champagne, 6,000 of that of
Normandy, and 4,800 of that of Pioardy, with 1,200 men at arms, 1,200
light cavalry, and 30 large pieces of ordnance. As soon as Longueval has
joined Orleans, the King will take command of the 13,000 lanzknechts
now with the latter on an expedition which he contemplates; the
remaining lanzknechts and French foot will be left for the invasion of
Luxemburg. The King will have besides for the projected expedition
10,000 Swiss of the last levies and 4,000 old soldiers lormerly in Pied-
mont, the best troops in the world, and 4,000 Italians. The legions of
Guienne, of Languedoc and other bands raised in France, making in all
46,000 or 47,000 loot, 1,600 men at aims (including 500 of the King's own
household), 3,000 light horse, 2,000 of whom Mons. le Mareschal (Anne-
baut) has brought back from Piedmont, 60 pieces of large ordnance, &c.,
compose the King's own army. With all this force, wnioh nobody can
resist, he intends marching to that country in which he^sees he can do
most execution,.
4. It is true he intends detaching from the above force 6,000
lanzknechts and 2,000 newly-raised Gascon foot and handing them over to
the King of Navarre for the enterprise of Guienne. Vvith this force
joined to 6,000 more men whom the said King has raised of his own and
4,000 Italians, making in all 18,000 foot, besides 700 men at arms and 800
light cavalry, he will be able to accomplish great things.
5. Account of the forces left by Mons. le Marechal in Piedmont, where
he will leave 1,2 towns well fortified, almost impregnable, besides 150
smaller ones well provided; so that there is DO fear ol" an invasion on> the
side of Milan.
6. Francis has done what he never could; do before, for his revenue is
so much improved in the salt tax, sale of woods, &o., that with the capital
he has amassed he could maintain all the expense of the armies for 10 or
12 years without taking anything from his subjects or diminishing hia
ordinary expenses. Next winter he will proclaim the arriere-ban,
amounting to 70,000 or 80,000 men, half of them cavalry, who live at
their own expense for 3 months, and are divided into two great bodies,
one for the frontiers of Spain, the other for Flanders. During the winter
months these men will keep the field.
7. As to the imputation made against Francis by the Emperor and his
brother that he has an understanding with the Grand Seigneur, he may
show that they themselves, with ai view to injure Francis, have irequently
sent ambassadors to the Grand Seigneur actually offering to pay him
tribute and become his slaves. But, as he would not listen to them,
they spread the rumour that Francis incited him to attack Christendom,
whereas he had done all he could to dissuade him from it. All his in-
telligences with the Grand Seigneur amount to a permission to his sub-
jects to trade in France, from which almost incredible profit has accrued
to the French, and the spiceries of Antwerp and Flanders have already
felt the consequences,
8. Should the English surmise that the Turks (sic, qu. the Germans?)
now in Hungary might suddenly turn this way and invade France, the
ambassador shall say that even supposing they so ,far forgot their en-
gagements they would find the French towns well fortified and the

He will see by Chapuys's letter to the Emperor the news of the
country, .and the good service that the friend* is continually doing.
There is no occasion to mistrust this King on account of the words ad-
dressed by his ambassador in France to the Admiral, as reported by the
latter in a letter ix> Marillac (copy enclosed). There are more reasons
than eiver, as the lord Privy Seal said to Chapuys sometime before the
bp. of Westminster's departure, why the King should hold such
language. Must mention that the King insists, in spite of Chapuys,
that the Pope's efforts to induce the Emperor to peace with France are
owing • to the Emperor himself applying for his intervention, and that
the French King considers the Pope partial to the Emperor, and intends
suppressing the monasteries in France as Henry has done in England.
The King also said the Emperor should find some expedient for quieting
the Duke of Holstein without having recourse to the Count Palatine,
who has as many reasons for being dissatisfied with the Emperor as with
the Duke; as he declared himself when he was last in England. f Lon-

20 July. 519. WALLOP to the COUNCIL.
Received the Kings letter of the 15th on the 17th, and at once
sent a servant, by Calais, to the Great Master of Flanders ; who met him
next morning going from St. Omers to Mountorey with 60 horse and as
many footmen, the latter to be left in Mountorey. Upon reading
Wallop's letter he sent a gentleman, not by Arde, but about by Newne-
ham Bridge, to pray Wallop to dine with him at Remyngham next day.
The gentleman saying that, by Calais, it was 30 miles, Wallop said that
was too far to come to dinner, but he would be, without fail, at supper.
To avoid suspicion, the gentleman returned to his master alone, and
Wallop went to dine with the Council at Calais, telling them that he
went to speak with a certain person upon the borders of Flanders.
Arranged with them to go to see the new bulwarks, and ask him openly
to accompany them, and .afterwards say he had gone to Guisnes by
Mountorey. Thus brought on his way, he arrived at Remyngham at
6 p.m.
The Great Master, who was waiting for him in a meadow, received
him graciously, asked how the King did, and at once began about
Mountrell and how it might be taken and kept, and that Grotty beside
St. Valleries, should also be taken, and then Boullen, Arde, Turwan
and Hesding would be besieged. It was easy to see he spoke de bond
fide and not like a Frenchman; and Wallop has been long acquainted
with him, for they lay in garrison together at St. Omers, when Wallop
was left there by the duke of Norfolk ; at which time he practised about
taking Mountrell upon a. market day, " and in my opinion th'enterprise
of the same will never out of his head." He was so earnest that Wallop

could get no time to declare his commission, and had to pray him to go
to supper. They supped under a tree, and afterwards the Great Master
began again of wars against the Frenchmen, so that Wallop had to in-
terrupt and beg leave to declare his commission. Declared then the
Emperor's ambassador's report (as in the King's letters to Wallop, No.
496). He said it was true, and that he had himself written both to
the Emperor and the Regent ; but had no answer yet, for most of their
posts now go by sea. Gave him the articles necessary to be communed
of, and obtained his answer in writing (enclosed), which he brought into
Wallop's chamber next morning, " like a very gracious nobleman," to-
gether with a letter of news* from the Regent (copy enclosed). He
prayed Wallop to write to the King that in case he invaded France it
was time lost to seek for battle, for Frenchmen would abide none, but
that holds should be taken and kept. Then, embracing Wallop, and
asking him to make his commendations and thanks to the King, he had
him to dinner, and afterwards conducted him on his way, saying he
would go thence to St. Omers by water, and that night to Ayre, and so
to Arras; to remain on the borders of Henoway, so that if Brabant and
the Low Countries needed men those of Henoway could go to them, and
he keep the country.
Encloses what ne has learnt of the French part. Touching the in-
crease of the 100 horsemen, trusts within a month to have them fur-
nished; lacks but 10 or 12. Has communed with Mr. Rous, treasurer,
as directed. The heretic,! in whose case the King commands him to
thank Mons. de Beez for his gentle offer, is received and sent this day
to Calais. No process was made, as appears by Mons. de Varvyns' letter |
enclosed.
At closing this, arrived Mons. de Torsei's lieutenant, and his son and
six gentlemen more, and would nowise go into any house. Sent for them
to the park hedge and made them a collation there. They were sent by
Mons. de Torsey to make his commendations, " trusting the amity to be
such that this summer we should meet and make good cheer together."
Wallop answered that he trusted so too, and saw no appearance to the
contrary. They showed themselves anxious for peace, and on leaving
desired Mr. Vaughan and Palmer to make good cheer with them at
Arde next week. Guysnes, 20 July. Signed.

R. O. 2. Sixteen numbered articles headed, " The Great Master's
answer to my articles," and wore ed as answers to questions (not given),
viz. : — 1. As to the Emperor's ambassador with the King, he wrote to me
that he had written to the Emperor all that I said to him, and also in-
formed the King of it. 2. "Poar r[espondre] a ce que si i'entreprinse
est faisable ou non;" I hold it both feasible and guardable, with dili-
gence. Every act of war rests upon the fortune God is pleased to send
and not upon the enterprises of men; and people who understand war
are able to know whether enterprises are reasonable. 3. As for artillery,
I cannot well answer until I know what conclusion is taken between the
Emperor and the King ; but think that eight light pieces might be ob-
tained upon the frontier in 5 or 6 days. 4. Could get 700 or 800 horse-
men in 8 or 10 days. 5. Could get enough carriages for such an army.
6. Could find 6,000 footmen in Flanders and Arthois in 8 or 10 days. 7.
The assembly on the English side should be at Ghisnes, and should at
the first course, take Fiennes. Our assembly could be at Tournehen.

of Sercomer, Tournehen, and La Montoire. 9. The victuals being con-
ducted from Sercomer by way of the castles of La Motte, Acquin,
Acquembronne, Faucquemberght, Renty, Fressin, and my house of
Contes, in case I might recover it, as I have good hope. These houses
are within an hour's ride of each other, and the last near Monstroeul.
10. "[Itejm, [p]our garder [que, a] la longue, les Frai^ois ne fussent

Monstroeul and Abbeville must be wasted, and St. Ricquier, which is
worth nothing, taken. 11, 12. Likewise the country about Hesdin and
Theen (Therouenne) to be wasted. 13. As to having some ensigns of
Almains if the Queen would not deliver those she has in Brabant and
towards Luxembourg, others must be provided. 14. If the Emperor
and the King conclude that or any other enterprise, and the Emperor
gives me any command, I trust to satisfy him and his allies, of whom I
hold the King one of the principal. 15. To the question of the captain
of Guisnes whether, if the French King's army turned away from Luxem-
bourg, our men now in Luxembourg would join us ; I think yes, for the
Queen has them to serve her at need, and they would be no longer needed
there. 16. All the above articles are only devices, and I can do nothing
without command from the Emperor or the Queen, his sister.

R Q 3. " The report of my espiall, which I sent unto Abbevill to know what
number of footemen should be there, as Italian horsemen, whereof I
wrote unto your Lordships in my last letter."
On Monday, 17 July, came to Noveon 160 horsemen for Arde. On
Saturday, 15 July, came to Monstreull 300 foot, " all hagbutiers, saving
a few halbertiers that were about the standard," who were paid there on
Sunday and Monday; they also being for Arde. Getting no more than
100 sous the mouth, they refused to serve, and the paymaster was fain
to give them 120 sous, or 13s. 4d. st. About Fromry and Grande Villies
they "recemtile" 1,000 foot, half for Hesdin and the rest for Thirwane.
Proclamation was made on Monday, 17 July, at Sammere that no man
enrolled change his captain. The same Monday, Du Bies went from
Monstrull to Mons. de Vandosme at Amiens, saying to his company and
the governors of Monstrull, " Messieurs, ne vous bouge point de cy
jusques a mon retourne, et vous apporteray de novellz." The bruit is
that the French king sent two gentlemen to the King, our master, to
know whether he would remain neuter, or take the Emperor's part;
which two gentlemen took shipping at Boulogne on Monday, 17 July.

R. °- We have received your letters by bearer, f one of your secretaries,
and heard his credence, containing specially two points: the one, the
injuries done you by the Emperor in detaining your possessions and
killing your ambassadors, which you were determined to revenge; the
other that you had made a league offensive and defensive with the dukes
of Saxe and deve, and the kin^s of Denmark, Sweden, and Scotland,
wherein you reserve an honorable place for us, with six months' space
in which to know our determination. "We are not a little sorry to see,
by the dissensions of you two, being great princes in Christendom and
our friends, such an entry made to the common enemy, the Turk, unless
God provide some agreement between you, or other remedy. Touch-
ing which agreement, you remember how we heretofore offered to be
a mean, but then you seemed rather to put your confidence in the
bishop of Rome, "so as the sequel declareth the matter to be nothing
amended, but in worse terms than it was before ; " nevertheless if " our
wit, power, authority, or friendship " can do anything, we would yet be
glad to employ it for the quiet of Christendom. We heartily thank
you for your overture touching your leagues, but, as we have not used
to enter into any treaty without seeing the articles, we desire you to
deliver a copy of them to our ambassador there, to be sent to us ; and,
if it be done with some diligence, we shall make reasonable answer
within the six months.

R> °' The 3,0007. received, 29 May, by Mr. Rous, is fully issued in
. ... empcions and wages for three months ended the 12th inst. The num-
ber of -men working "within the limits of payments" is now 825, and
the empcions continue very chargeable; and therefore, to save im-
portuning them by often sending, he begs to have 3,0007. sent, which
will scantily suffice till Michaelmas. Perceives, by their letters of the
13th inst., that the King is informed that his works in Wotton's pay-
ment are not sufficiently overseen, and commands him to look to them
or else see that the overseers do so1. The order of the works remains
still in charge of the Surveyor, for, hindered by sickness and the affairs
of the treasurership, Wotton has " in divers whole weeks since Candle-
mas last," not been outside the gates. Two months ago, conferred with
the Surveyor about the slowness of these works, who promised that he
and his deputy, the warden of the masons, would oftener repair to the
works. The lack of good clerks is such that divers of the garrison have,
with the lord Deputy's licence, been appointed overseers of the works.
Protests his desire to serve. Calais, 24 July 1542.

24 July. 526. SIR JOHN WALLOP, ANTHONY Rous and RICHARD LEE to
the COUNCIL.
R< °- Desire to report how the 7,0007. received from Mr. Deny, for
the works here and in the " Marrys," is spent, and what money will suffice
for three months more, ending 27 Sept. The first payment was for the
month ended 10 May, 1,174 men working at Guisnes and 507 in the
" Marys ; " wages at Guisnes to the 30 horsemen, the two captains, and
their bands, Ant. Rous and Ric. Lee, the 16 gunners extraordinary, and
the said labourers, 992 1. ; wages to Mr. Wingfeld and his band, and
the said labourers in the Marys 3527.; eonptions and carriages
_. 715?. 6s. 8d. The second pay, for the month ended 2 June, 1,593
working at Guisnes and 505 in the "Marys," wages (as before) 1,0687.
and 4657., and emptions 6647. 6s. Sd. Third pay, for the month ended 5
July, 1,651 working at Guisnes and 587 in the "Marys;" wages (a.s
before) 1,2707. and 387?., and emptions 6327. 13s. ; as appears by the
brief declaration of particulars sent herewith, which we, Ant, Rous and
Ric. Lee, certify correct as regards numbers of men and wages, but only
approximate as regards emptions, as the accounts are incomplete or
not examined.
Send also herewith the numbers now working at Guisnes and
the " Mares," with an estimate of the wages of them and the horsemen
(accounting these from 31 July increased to 100), the captains and
34 HENRY VIII. 303
1542,
others aforesaid, and the emptions, for the1 months to end 2 Aug., 30
Aug., and 27 Sept. ; which estimate will be under the mark, because
100 men have watched nightly this month for surety of the castle, the
utter gatehouse being pulled down, and the 108 chalder of coal remain-
ing of the provision made last year will only suffice two months.
Advise like provision of coal to be made now for next year. Last year
about 600/. was laid out for coal.
Perceive that the King will send over 1,000 footmen. If they are
to come hither, where shall the labourers now within the town be lodged ?
The captains should bring their tents with them, for here is no place
unless they dislodge the gentlemen already here. Ant. Rous will see
that there is no want of victual. As for the 100 horsemen, I, Sir John
Wallop, am provided with the whole number; but all are not furnished
with horses and harness, as within three weeks they shall be. Guisnes,

"Advertisements from divers parts of France."
An Englishman that came from Paris says that, 8 days before he left,
they of Paris took up men to send to Picardy, Loreyne, and beyond the
Mountains. In Picardy sundry Frenchmen asked him if the King
would make war with them, or had required, or would require, his money
which the French king owes, saying, " they hoped that the King would
not meddle, for he is a good Frenchman, that is to say, he will not
war with them."
Other advertisements out of Amyas, from a gentlewoman that
"haunteth Monsr. de Vandosme much at his being there," I send
herewith.
By another way learns that those assembled about Abvill and else-
where are to keep camp by St. Powle, and dare make no enterprise until
word come from England and the French king. The Burgundians
await the like from the Emperor and the King of England, as tha
French say. On Thursday, 20 July, three companions of Arde said
to their captain, " Captain, if ye woll give us leave, we know three good
prisoners, Burgonians, we woll go fetch them." He answered, " If you
find them upon our pale, take them; and if you fetch them out of
th'Emperor's dominion ye shall be hanged for the same." Women and
children are sent away from Arde, Monstrull, and other towns. This
morning, 24 July, general musters are taken all Boullenois over, for the
camp aforesaid.

July. Signed.
P.S. — This day Mr. Vaughan, Mr. Pawlmer, and other gentlemen,
according to their promise to the gentlemen of Arde that were here,* went
thither; where they were received without the accustomed stay at the
gate, and had leave to go where they would, but went straight to Mons.
de Torsey's lodging, who rose up from table to receive them, and had
them to dinner, and used them very gently. In conversation, Mons. de
Torsey said he knew the King " was more French than I[mperial], and
so being, he doubted not but well to overcome the malice of th'Emperor ; "
yet he had no commandment to begin war, but looked to hear from
Mons. de Vandosme to-night or to-morrow.

Has received his letter asking if the French saying, that they
will encamp at St. Pol, is true. If Wallop's messenger had not come,
would have despatched a gentleman this night to inform him that the
duke of Vendosme is marching within the Emperor's ground of Arthois
with 14,000 or 15,000 foot, 400 or 500 men of arms and artillery to
besiege Arras or Bethune. Has been at Arras preparing to receive
them, and trusts their coming shall be to their confusion. The French
king draws towards Spain with a great army. His army has entered
Luxembourg, and that of the duke of Cleves, in his pay, makes war in
Brabant and Liege. The Emperor is attacked unawares, for the truce lasted
still five years, and feels most the opening this war gives to the Turk.
As to the passport for Wallop's horses, has no news of it from the
Queen, but he may take them up, to pass by Gravelinghes or St. Omer,
for the writer is sure the Emperor would do much more than that to
please a servant of the King of England. To show how he trusts the
English nation, if there are any young men there who desire to see
war in the Emperor's service, will send money to raise them under some
English gentleman for captain. Hopes to be to-morrow night at St.
Omer, and there to hear news from him. Bethune, 24 July. Signed.

defensive league between him, the Kings of Scotland, Sweden, and Den-
mark, and the duke of Gueldres against the Emperor, of which, as ai
matter of ceremony, and not because he cared about it, he had informed
the King of England, in case he wished to enter it, in order that he
might know the consequences if he offended the King of Scotland. Ben-
mark and Sweden had already taken a booty of grain from the Emperor's
subjects worth 100,000 ducats. Next year, when they had many barks
ready, and he had 400 ships, they would trouble the Emperor in earnest.
He added that all Germany was in arms with the contention between
Saxony and the Landgrave, and the duke of Brunswick; and he had
allowed Count William, who was lately here, to go against Brunswick,
for Saxony and the Landgrave were giving him (Francis) men, and had
offered to join him; and that poor Brunswick, like all others who
attached themselves to the Emperor, would be ruined, as Signor
Ascanio and his own Constable were. He made great demonstration
of affection and .obedience to his Holiness. Three days ago they were
as discontented and enraged at his Holiness as now they are satisfied
and affectionate; but neither [condition] is to be counted upon, and if
at this last audience the Council had been mentioned it would have set
up the furies again. * * *

M. de I'Aubespine, the bearer, will report the delay which the
King made in their audience and all news of this country.
French. Headed: [London,] 25 July.
2. Memoranda for L'Aubespine.
The delay of the audience because the Emperor's ambassador was at
Court, and to show coldness, the English thinking something was to
be sought, such as the marriage which, in his last audience but one,
the King mentioned to the ambassador.* The manner of the Councillors
before speaking with the King.
Having declared to the King, as instructed, f the causes which moved
Francis to war.
He said he could not believe it ; and if true, it was strange that the
Emperor should have caused the ambassadors J to be killed. That he was
annoyed at this war, seeing how harmful it may be to Christendom.
That, as both princes are his1 allies and, as he thinks, friends, he formerly
did his best to pacify them; but as they suspected that he nourished
discord between them he gave up meddling, and now thanked God
that it was known that this rupture of the truce did not proceed from
him — using these words, that it could not be said that he had been
either the maker of that great amity that was believed to be between
them or the author of this war. That he will seek all means to agree
them. That it was true that when the King and the Emperor were on
terms of agreement, and even at the time of the Emperor's passage in
France, they had pushed him into a narrow corner, but, thank God,
he was still alive and not so little a king as he was thought. That he
had news that in France he was ordinarily said to be of small account
(qu'il ne pouvoit gueres). The pleasure he showed at hearing that the
war is begun. Saying that if the King takes the death of his ambassadors
as such an injury, why did he listen to- the articles§ which the Bishop of
Rome sent him about peace, and deliver others in reply, to which answer
was expected within three weeks? The answer made to this. He says
it is easy to believe that the King expects peace, since, with such forces
assembled, he executes nothing.
Having told him of the treaty of Sweden.,
He says that the King of Sweden is too poor to help the King, and
th"e duke of Prussia: too far off; the King of Denmark could help, but
the Easterlings were merchants who could very well do' without war.
When he has seen the articles of the treaty he will decide whether to
enter it; but would first know if all those named by me as having
entered it, have signed it. The instance he made to know the contents
of the treaty, and the reasons why we would no£ show it, both to maka
him believe the aid greater and to gain time. It were well first to
enquire whether he would sign lea.gue offensive or defensive; which he
will never do; and as it is to be presumed that he will not enter, he
need not know the contents. This would irritate him all the more ; for

the preparations made since he spoke with us show that he is not a
little irritated.
Going to the chase he said he had just had news that between our
two armies of Cleves and Lucpambotirf the enemies had interposed in
great force; and he asked what forces Mons. d'Orleans had, and what
captains. Also what forces and captains' were in the army which the
King would lead in person,, and in that of the King of Navarre, and what
in Piedmont. That he was assured that the King would not have so many
lansknechts as he wished ; the answer being that some had to be turned
away. That it would need the revenue of three kingdoms to pay these
armies ; answer being to explain the order put in the finances, and that
in three or four years the revenue had increased by three quarters, and
that there would be no want of money, for the fund and the revenue,
&c. That this entering upon war about the ambassadors will not be
greatly approved, because it is known that they were going to the Turk ;
answer being, etc. (sic), that at the time Rincon, was with him he never
invaded, and this loss of Christians of Buda did not happen. ^ Whether
the King had sent to defy the Emperor and given his subjects time,
as accustomed to* withdraw their goods? It was answered that
when the Emperor broke the truce; the war was open, and the
Emperor felt that he had so offended the King that he held himself as
defied ; there was more need for the Emperor to give defiance when he
meant to kill the King's ambassadors, for that was a wickedness and
evil will which could not be discovered, whereas the King's prepara-
tions to obtain redress were so many, and made so near him that he
could see them from his windows, and his ambassador had not budged
from France, and continued to send men to the Emperor, who passed
and repassed freely. Assuring him, for his satisfaction, that the war
was really open, and that we were astonished that he had not yet had
• news of what the King's armies had done. He asked moreover what
aid that poor little King of Sweden could give, and if the King of
Scotland was to make war too, who was so poor ; [saying] that the duke
of Saxony had enough to do elsewhere, and that the enterprise which
he and the Landgrave! made for the duke of Brunswick would end in
smoke, a.s Brunswick was supported by the Emperor and Empire, and
if they attacked him, especially during this expedition of Hungary,
they deserved to be set upon. It was true that the King of Denmark
could give some aid, and was making some enterprise, for he had arrested
several ships, even of his (Henry's) subjects, but had only taken out the
artillery and would, he expected, pay for it.
Being informed that the treaty is offensive and defensive without
exception, and with all forces, he remained greatly astonished and
annoyed. He was told that, if he would write to his ambassador in
France, the King would gladly send him a copy that he might enter it
at the honourable place kept for him. He promised to write. This
was done upon news of the footmen and horsemen already semt by Den^
mark to Longueval, who was asking for more.
The ambassador, to confirm his late report* of the language used, re-
newed it in my presence. The King answered that the Admiral began
it to his ambassador, who' like a good minister, knowing his master's
friendship to the King, held the said language without charge, being sure
that he would not be disavowed. That the words held were but general

his garrisons beyond sea,, seeing what they were doing at Ardres and
places near him ; and the reply made him by the ambassador about it.
He said also that no faith was to be given to the Imperials' saying that
they were making a marriage* and obtaining money from him on account of
the Emperor's ambassador's late going into Flanders ; which goin? was
only to settle a dispute about navigation. He had sent no person of
quality with the ambassador, as would have been done had there been
question of disbursing money upon surety or of treating the said
marriage. However, he confessed to us, what he has always hitherto
denied to the ambassador, that he had been much sought after for the
marriage and for money, but that no conclusion had been made.

to be ready. The dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk absent. Milord
Warden absent " sur les hancres." The saying of some gentlemen of
his chamber " qu'il falloit bien que ce roy fust de quelque coste." Eighty
pieces of artillery already at Calais. Gunners sent away in all haste.
After waiting till Monday, for they delayed my despatch because
they sent their courier on the Sunday at dinner, they sent for us to the
Council, where, under pretext of speaking of private matters, the Privy
Seal and Secretary took us apart and told us that I had come without
speaking of the pensions, which was the only quarrel between the Kings,
who for the rest were as good friends, &c. The reply of Marillac that
we had no instructions (que n'en avions riens), and that heretofore the
King had made overture to find some way of extinguishing that quarrel,
but without success, and that the King was ready to listen to all
reasonable "partiz." From thence we went to speak to the King, who
received us much more solemnly than usual, repeated his former lan-
guage, apologised that these lettersf were written by his secretary,
and added that he wished to remain the King's good friend, and would
on his side continue the amity, thinking his brother so reasonable that
he would not give him cause to the contrary.

Besides the above M. de I'Aubespine will remember to give the King
the following news: — That the eight ships prepared in the Thames,
of which Marillac has several times written, are ready to sail ; and will,
whenever weather permits, proceed towards Antonne, to Porchemue,
where there is provision of victuals ready to be shipped within 24 hours.
No great personages will go in these ships, nor more men than needful
to work them. They are the King's ships. It is true that about Antonne
are 15 or 16 other ships likewise prepared; and there are said to be
7 or 8 others in the north, at Houlch, on the Yorkshire coast. Also
it is understood that this Kinsf is seeking to buy in Flanders 15 ships
of 200 or 300 tons, and is bringing a great quantity of munitions and
harness. The bp. of Waiseminster departed eight or ten days ago,
secretly, to go into Spain by sea. Lately arrived a courier from the
Emperor, who, without speaking to the Emperor's ambassador, came
straight to present his letters to the King, "laquelle fin ne se peult
entendre estans les affaires fors secrets."

a stranger born, having lands in France and a Frenchman to her son,
has often access to Fienes, whereby she is suspected to be a spy to
Mons. de Beez, and that the King, considering what intelligence is be-
tween a man and his wife, desires both sent over to the Council. Has
this afternoon by advice of Mr. Rous, treasurer, and Mr. Pawlmer, one
of the captain's, sent over Barnard Greete, and intends to send her
"along seas" to-morrow. On Tuesday, 17th* inst., Mr. Pawlmer, being
sick, wrote that he had a matter of importance to open. Went, with
Mr. Rous to him ; who said there was a woman in the castle, a stranger
born and having a son in France, who was not only a spy to Mons. de
Beez, but so placed that, in an hour, she could destroy all the munition
in the castle. Wallop answered that he knew no other but Barnard
Greete's wife, who had the keeping of one Walter James, being sick,
who keeps the keys of all the munitions; "and if she be false, quod I,
then am I well at ease, for her husband is one that many times writeth
for me, whom I do take to be an honest man, and was written to in his
favour by Mr. Connyngesby, and report was made of him by divers
out of England that he was meet to be here and should do good ser-
vice, and, at my last being in England, Mr. Berkeley, of the Privy
Chamber, gave me thanks on his behalf, requiring me to be and con-
tinue his good master ; yet notwithstanding, I mistrusted him the same
morning by reason that, after I was up and ready, reckoning to have
finished my letters that I began overnight 'of the King's Majesty's
affairs, could not then find him within the castle, whereupon incon-
tinent I sent one to bring me sure word where he was, who did meet
with him coming out of the town. And at his coming towards me did
perceive that I was somewhat moved with choler, excused himself to
have been in the town mending of a doublet. And when I came there
where I am accustomed to write, I said to him, ' Bernard Greete, take
good heed what thou dost, for I do now put thee in trust of a matter
of great importance, and I do protest unto thee that there is none do
know the same but thou and I, nor none shall ; and therefore if this
thing chance to be discovered it must needs proceed of thee and of no
man else, which shall be to thy utter undoing/ He being therewith
wonderfully abashed, saying that yet he did never deceive any that
hath put him in trust, albeit he hath been secretary to divers great
men. And with that I charged him upon his allegiance to be secret
ini these things/' Upon that declaration Mr. Pawlmer suggested that
she should be despatched out of the castle, and after discussion with Mr.
Rous and Mr. Pawlmer, Wallop called Bernard Grete and, without
telling him the matter, said he would convey most of the women and
children out of the castle, "and that my wife should be one of them."
He, "mistrusting somewhat the matter, with the water in his eyes,"
said ha would send her to her brother, dwelling beside St. Omer's, of
the Imperial part, but had not money sufficient to send her away;
whereupon Mr. Rous, out of pity, gave him two crowns.
Upon reflection, decided to keep her in the castle until the King's
pleasure were known ; and, on returning from the Great Master, asked
Mr. Pawlmer if he could learn further. He said she had been at
Fienes, and, within two days, he reckoned to know more. On the 17th,f
within an hour after Mr. Pawlmer first showed the matter, a gentle-
man came from the Great Master, and Wallop was occupied entertain-
ing him until supper time, going next day to the Great Master, return-
ing on the Thursday, and writing his despatch on Friday. Had in the

meantime desired Rcus and Pawlmer to examine Water James; who
said he kept his keys locked in a cupboard, the key of which he kept
in his purse, but lately, on going to Calais, he left the key of a gallery,
in which were certain pikes and handguns laid out to be delivered to
the captains, with Bernard Crete's wife. Determined, the Saturday
following, with Rous, Pawlmer, the Surveyor, and Mr. ,Vaughan to
examine both James and her further ; but this examination is now left
to the Council, " saving that Pawlmer before her departure asked
when she was at Fyenes, she confessing to be there upon a jour de feast&t

Calendar, 20th inst., owing to Francis having, without previous challenge, in-
VI. ii. No. 35. vaded the country in two places, viz., by Luxemburg on the 13th and
by Cleves on the 15th. Fears also1 that he is going to make a third
attack on the frontier of Arthois, though on the 12th, on the very eve
of invading Luxemburg, he positively declared to M. de Marvol, /the
Imperial ambassador, that he would attempt nothing against this
country unless we gave him cause, yet he despatched his son Orleans
to Luxemburg, where he has taken Dampviliiers, a small town incapable
of defence^, and may take several other places, as very few are fortified.
Has ordered Thionville and Yvoix to be strengthened with ordnance, &c.
On the side of Cleves, M. de Longueival and Martin van Rossen, who
has taken the title of Marshal of Gueldres, have penetrated into the
district of Vos le Due (Bois le Due), but have gained no place of im-
portance. They have taken Hochstrate, the country seat of the La
Laing family, but it is only a pleasure house. They threaten Antwerp,
but will find it no easy place to besiege, with our forces in their rear,
which can soon be concentrated.
Chapuys is to inform the King of this invasion, and see if the King
will feel inclined to succour the Low Countries ; but only as if it came
from himself, unless he see a chance of getting some aid, however small,
by representing that ii the French get possession of Flanders they will
dictate to the English, whom they will no longer care for. Chapuys

shall also thank the King for his warning touching the islands off the
coast of Holland, which the Duke of Holstein might surprise. Means
to see to their defence, and is arming a number of ships to prevent the
Danes getting near them. A few days ago our people captured near
Verre, in Zealand, a large ship of the Duke of Holstein's armed for
war, whose captain, on being questioned, confessed that he had been
sent by the Duke to explore the coast, and had already landed two men
in Holland, and was about to have landed two more in Zealand ; also
that they were afterwards to have sailed for England, and learned what
armaments were being made ready there ; then to cross to France with
letters from his master to the French king, which the captain threw
into the sea when he saw he would be taken prisoner. He pretended
to know nothing of the contents, but doubtless he was to report in
France what he had seen in Holland and England, and settle what his
master should do with the ships he is said to have armed and fitted out
for sea. He was then to revisit England, or if he met with contrary
winds come back to this sea and capture and rob as many English ships
as he could. We are determined to have him examined afresh and put
to the torture if necessary, to reveal the whole truth ; and, if anything
concern England, we will let the King know.
The navigation edict was already revoked before receipt of Chapuys's
letter of the 12th, and the governor of the English merchants here has
written that he is satisfied. If Francis's secretary* spoke to the King
in the terms specified in your letter to the Emperor, it was quite in
accordance with what the [French] king himself said on the 12th to the
Emperor's ambassador, two days before he commenced war on this side,
viz., that he would continue to be friendly as long as we did not give
him occasion to be otherwise. So Henry will be able to judge of
Francis's sincerity.
Should the Emperor address letters to her by way of England, begs
Chapuys to have them forwarded with all speed as he did those which
she wrote to the Emperor in Spain. Mfalines], 25 July 1542.

recognised by some of Pole's household for English. Alessandro says
he comes from London, where he dwells, and was taking the youths to
Messer Francesco Casale, who had asked him to get him an English
youth as a servant. Alessandro' varies in his story, and is recognised
as one of the King of England's equerries (cavallaricci), so that it might
be well to speak with Casale and learn the truth. Does not suspect
the youths, who appear simple, but this Alessandro, their guide. En-
closes1 a letter from Alessandro to Casale, and another letter which he
carries to Bologna, which may be returned to him. As he writes to
Casale that he is going to speak with him on the matter he knows, it
would be well to ask Casale what that is, and send word to Pole,
who will then interrogate Alessandro, and see whether they tally.

as Burgundians to pass the bulwark at Bowtes, being a highway from
Bredenerd to Calleis; for of late came a Frenchman, who said he was
going from Arde to Marke, to whom Burdecke, warden ,of the masons
there, said that way was no passage. The Frenchman thereupon
turned back, and passing through th,e Emperor's ground, adjoining the
turnpike by Bowtes, was taken by Burgundians. For that, and to show

In the Emperor's camp beside Dist, are about 14,000 to oppose the
duke of Cleves, who will either march on Andwarpe, being within 4
or 5 days' journey, or else join the French army. All the French forces
on these frontiers repair towards Mons. de Vandosme. All from Arde
except the ordinary garrison are gone, yesterday, under De Torsey's
son. De Torsey said yesterday that there was a bruit of a truce pro-
cured by the bp. of Rome. If the Turk's affairs proceed not so well as
the French king expects, he will, perhaps, considering how all his armies
are answered, make peace. The Emperor desires nothing more than
peace, and has forbidden any enterprise upon French ground, and re-
stored a booty of cattle lately taken, although he has taken order
against invasion by the French. This morning came a servant of the
Great Master with a letter (enclosed)* and a present of a goodly gennet.
In the letter he " once again required me to haive certain Englishmen
with some gentleman to be their captain." Answered that at present
all here were in the King's wages ; but if any others came who desired
to see the wars he should be informed. The servant's news was that
the prince of Orrenge has entered Andwarpe, the Regent being at
Macklen, fearing the Clevoiez, who are marching thither; that Mona
d'Orleans is withdrawn from Luxemburghe and Mons. de Vandosme
encamped at St. Poll.

R. O. Being at Calais yesterday with the Council, about provision of
hay and other things, was advertised by Thos. Pawlmer that Mons. de
Verven said, on Wednesday last, that this day or to-morrow he should
know whether to take us for friends or no, and if for enemies Guisnes
should repent it within 48 hours. Repaired hither and caused 60 to
watch and work outside the castle gate all night, as 40 or 50 do nightly,
because the gate is not yet covered, and the braies lie open and dry.
This night hopes to have the water about the castle. Thinks it time
to take heed, for this morningt he learns that all the country lies full
of men of war, who repair not so fast to their camp as was thought ; and
yesternight De Beez sent to Arde for 50 gunners to shoot great pieces.
Their enterprise is said to be for Turnehani, but Wallop will take it
for Guisnes, and will this night begin taking into the castle nightly
Captains Pawlmer and Vaughan with 300 men, taking the Surveyor
in also, and piles sufficient to ranipire the gate, and removing the
powder from between the gates to other towers, for the loops' where it
lies must be used for defence of the gate, " being the place where the
treaison should have been executed, as it is thought." The Frenchmen
say " We mistrusted a treason which was discovered ; " which saying will
serve if they charge1 us with mistrusting them. Promises to render a
good account of the castle and keep. As for Purton's bulwark, the
Three Cornered bulwark and the bulwark beside the Mill, will put good

29 July. 547. CHRISTOPHER MONT to HENRY VIII.
B- O. At Frankfort learnt that the forces of the duke of Saxony and
'' IX< Landgrave were gone to besiege Molhausen, which was last year
seized by Henry, duke of Brunswick. The dispute between the duke
of Brunswick and the people of Goslar about at mine was by the
Emperor referred to Commissioners, but the Duke ignores them. This
rivalry between the Duke of Saxony and Landgrave, as captains of the
Protestants, and the dukes of Brunswick and Bavaria, as captains of
the1 Catholics, and aided by the Bishops, may involve all Germany in
war. The bp. of Mentz is raising soldiers, but whether to guard his
own diocese or assist Brunswick is uncertain.
Of the Turkish expedition is nothing worth telling ; for the Imperial
forces are scarcely yet assembled. Ferdinand has not supplied the men
he promised at Spiers, and the Emperor charged the Marquis of Bran-
denburg to attempt nothing until all the forces were there. Three days
ago Ferdinand came to Niirnberg to preside at the Diet, which is likely
to be very small. Francford, 29 July 1542.

R. O. Wrote on the 8th inst. Letters from Constantinople of 24 June
St. P. ix., 100. certifieci khe arrival of Polino, the French ambassador. Is told that
the Turk, in reply to Polino, refused to lend his navy to the French
king without hostage of one of the King's sons. It is thought that
navy will do nothing this year, and there is no mention of the Turk
going to Hungary, where he has sufficient men to defend Buda. Can-
not " perceive that the Christian host proceedeth with any great vigour
or celerity in this expedition of Hungary." It seems strange that
Ferdinando should leave his camp and go to Noremberg. About 10
days ago an ambassador from the Turk arrived here, demanding 100,000
ducats' recompense for certain ships of Barbarossa's taken a long time
past by Venetian galleys. The Venetians will do their best to satisfy
him. Lately 6,000 footmen came from Almain to Milan, where Guasto
has 20,000 men in wages. Leaving 4,000 horsemen in Piedmont, the
French will invade Navarre. Some think they will go to Savona and
some to Geane, but if the Turk move not the Frenchmen shall have
spent their money vainly, and the French king is spending 300,000 cr.
a month. Guasto is minded to take the field against Frenchmen in
Piedmont. Veni«e, 30 July 1542.

concerning Albanus, who is in Captain Polino's service and gone with

return into England, "specially being put in comfort of some honest

fashion, the affairs between the Turk and the French king. Mr. Bucler

command to ensue the same form of answer here. As criminal pro-
ceedings here before the provost de I'hostel are very summary, and the
adversaries made hot suit through Madame dTEstampes to have his
man " trussed up," Paget went to the King, who had already heard of
the matter from the Admiral, and at once benignly granted what he
desired, so that he forbore to deliver the letter. Thanks and protestor
tions of obligation.
This King is waiting at Argilly upon the Sone, two days' journey
by water from hence, until his war provisions are past this town ; when
he will go to Avignon, which he may easily do by water. He has sent
the Queen, Dolphiness and all the ladies to Bloyes, with all except the
principals of his privy band. Of the taking of Danvilly in Luzenbourg,
a place of little strength, and other doings in those quarters Henry will
have more trustworthy knowledge than can be got here. Mons.
Dorleauns has written to his father that he will show himself his son
and shortly render him the duchy of Luxembourg, but complaining of
the slack coming of the lanskneghtes provided by Count Guillaume and
other pensioners, who are only 5,000 or 6,000, instead of 12,000 or
15,000. Count Guillaume has been here, alleging the danger of the
proclamation throughout the Empire, and his own promise to serve
none but the Empire during the war against the Turk, and has re-
turned to Almain, leaving his cousin, the baron of Hadeck, to govern
the lanskneghtes here. His refusal, with the revolt of the Palatine
Wolfgang, want of money, and " slack coming on of money from the Turk
(if any come)" has "babbyshed" our enterprises; as the Imperials
have lanskneghtes enough for Nether Parts, Italy, and Spain, and the
Emperor has kept his credit, and can get money readier than we. Six
weeks ago, the Queen of Hungary received of the Fockers and Belgers
of the Nether Country 250,000 cr., and the Emperor has received in
Spain 600,000 cr., whereas we here have much ado to get any. Of this
town the house of Luke lends 100,000 fr.} the house of Florence 200,000
fr., the house of Belgers 50,000 fr., and th© French merchants 50,000 fr.,
this King giving for surety the Custom House here, and paying the
French merchants 10 per cent, and the strangers 16 per cent. Letters
are also sent to Paris for 200,000 cr., to Rowen for 200,000 fr., and to
every other city, county, and personage of estimation for loans. Pulci-
ano is gone out of Spain to Rome, contrary to his promise, at which
great expostulation is made by the Admiral to the Nuncio. I know
we here would have treated for all as we did for some, for on Sunday
week the Admiral and the Emperor's amba.ssador, by commission, con-
cluded a neutrality between Fr^nche Countie and Bourgoyfne], which
was first moved by the Admiral, and the Emperor has never moved
anything but the continuance of the truce, to which they give no ear,
publishing by sermons and letters that the truce is broken by the
Emperor's offence. Longevale and the bands of Cleve are passed, and
shall shortly join Mons. Dorleauns. On Thursday last the Emperor's
ambassador had leave to depart in post to Spain, sending his 'carriage
to his house in the Franch Countie. This King will be here to-night
or to-morrow, and, without tarrying, will march forward. The Dolphin
departed on the 21st, to be at Narbone on the 31st, when Danebault
shall be there with his Italians, Swiss, and lanskneghtes, which will
be far fewer than reported, so that Count Russy is sounding the drum
here and in the towns hereabout for more men. Within this fortnight
2,000 pioneers have passed hence, and 500 more are ready. On 10
Aug. the whole army for Spain is to advance towards Saulses, an
almost impregnable stronghold of the Emperor's, by which they must

pass within gunshot or else climb the Montayns Pyreneys. Describes
the position of the town which " in the French carte " is written Salles.
Proclamation has been made in Bourgoyn for carrying victuals into
Languedoc, which is easily done by the rivers Sone and Rhone. The
Chancellor and Card, of Turnon are proclaimed lieutenants on this side
Paris. The Emperor lies at Monson, near Barcelona, and hastens
galleys to Genes, for 8,000 Spaniards and Almains, whom Guasto has
ready to send. Some of the galleys took a Turkish galleot issuing out
of Aigues Mortes wherein were 60 Turks and 40 Christians. Guasto,
who hitherto has prepared against invasion, is now appointed to invade,
and is wasting the country of Piedmont, but not assaulting the towns,
and intends to enter Provence as soon as the siege is before Saulses.
He has all the best captains of Italy and 18,000 foot, besides those he
sends to Spain; as Langey has written hither.
The Bishop of Rome is besieging Signer Petro Maria Conte de Santo
Secondo in Santo Secondo, to the displeasure of this King, whose servant
he is, and who has written to the Bishop to "levye ' the siege. To
gratify the Emperor, the Bishop has banished from his dominions all
Florentine exiles. The king of Cuke, a vassal of the Emperor's in
Barbary, has defeated the Algerians, and asks aid of the Emperor to
take Algiers. The Danes have taken certain hulks of the Hollanders
bound to Spain with wheat. The Swedens are all gone hence, and the
Queen of Sweden's brother, here called the prince of Sweden, is looked
for again shortly. The gentlewoman of whom he is amorous is Mdlle.
de Rieux.
There have lately been in Ireland two Spanish friars* sent by the
Bishop of Rome to practise with O'Nell and O'Donell. They passed
through Scotland with letters of commendation to the king of Scots,
who gave them instructions for O'Nell, and promise of aid, and sent
with them the brother of the bp. of the Isles,^ who lies at Conkile, be-
tween Scotland and Ireland. The said Spaniards and the Bishop's
brother arrived here two days ago, on their return; and, being arrested
for spies, confessed to the lieutenant of this town that they did no good
because the Scottish king kept not his promise. The BishopYs brother
says his brother sent him to Rome to receive instructions there, and that
if Henry 'makes any business with France, the Scottish king will
straight molest him. Wrote once before that the Cardinal of Scotland
was going home. He has now taken leave, and ships are prepared for
him at Dieppe. At his departing he had long and earnest conferences
both with the French king and Admiral. They long for Laubeespine's
answer, for they have Henry in great jealousy for practising with the
Emperor, and sent Laubeespine only to " decipher " him. Every man
who comes to Paget is sore suspected. Lyons, 31 July. Signed.

this, he is to be desired to repair hither with diligence, where he will
be appointed to an honourable condition.

559. MARILLAC to FRANCIS I.
Since L'Aubespine's departure has arisen a marvellous bruit, which
disturbs this people greatly, viz., that M. de Longueval's army has passed
so far into Brabant that it may be a,t the gates of Antwerp, as the couriers,
who go and come in 24 hours, report, and that, with the weakness of the
walls and want of order for defence, it may be easily forced, and cannot
be succoured, because the horse and foot raised in Flanders are all gone
to stop Mons. d'Orleans, who was expected to come by the Ardaines
to join Longueval, his lieutenant. The taking of that town would be
too great prejudice to the English; for there they have their greatest
traffic, and have at present 700,000 or. or 800,000 cr. at least. The
people* go so far as to say they will recoup themselves upon French
subjects here. They have lately presented to the King, by the chief men
of London, a petition to send ships to save their merchandise or aid
Antwerp. The answer was that they had had1 warning that war was
coming there, and leisure to put their goods in safety ; that it was not the
King's place to remedy what was done in other countries, and, even if
he meant to aid Antwerp, there was no time to send succour.
The English are troubled because, at the very instant that it was
known that war was cried in France against the Emperor, news came
that, on the Borders, the Scots had pillaged and burnt five or six great
villages, and taken several prisoners; and, although such excesses are
common on both sides, because of the disputed boundaries, still, fearing
that this may be the commencement of worse, because of the leaguef
announced to them on Francis's part, they have at once ordered a levy
of men in the North to go where there is most need. To the ample
memoirj made by L'Aubespine and the writer may be added that com-
missions are despatched to all the governors) of country to review and
report how many men they could have to serve at need, and their arms ;
that about 21,000 men are being raised, hereabouts, half to reinifbrce
Calais and Guisnes, 500 pioneers, and 500 to embark on three of the
King's great ships (the largest, after the Great Henry, of the 10 or

12 prepared here), which will leave whenever weather permits, for they
are laden with artillery great and small and much munition, and the
mariners to work them arrested. Musters are made about Antonne of
the men who are to embark on the other ships at Porchemeut, whither
Marillac has sent a man, whom he expects back hourly, to report the
true number of the vessels and men there. The bulwarks which were
made in places where enemies could land are being reinforced with artil-
lery; and artillery and munitions continue to be sent over sea, where
there is already a great provision accumulated. These things make
people think that the English will sooner or later make war on France.
Of their wish to do so there can be no doubt, but, as to the execution
of it, some say that they will not begin until they see their great advan-
tage ; others, that it will be in a month or six weeks ; and some of the
chief men of London have secretly warned Francis's subjects to order
their affairs and withdraw with such goods as they can save ; but, while
this bruit lasts, they cannot find men to offer anything for their wares.
Has arranged with Marshal du Bies that if he is more than eipht days
without news from Marillac, he may suppose the worst, and that the
passage of the sea is closed, which would be the most serious evidence
of English ill-will and prompt execution.
A courier has just arrived from Antwerp, reporting that Francis's men
had taken the important castle of Ostrate, and approached near enough
now to batter the town with artillery, and that the Prince of Orange
had, with great difficulty, entered the town with the loss of almost the
whole company which he brought to strengthen the garrison. Also an
ambassador is arrived1 from the King of Scotland, who has not been able
yet to speak to Marillac, but has sent word that he comes to excuse the
burning of five villages, by showing that the English had first burnt two,
and to ascertain the disposition of those here, whether to maintain peace
or to make war.

1 Aug*. 560. DEPUTY and COUNCIL OF CALAIS to the COUNCIL.
B. O. On Tuesday last a hoy ship of Flanders, with wood for Calais and
16 men taken up in Sussex, coming from Arund'el, was, open upon
Pemsey, attacked by a man-of-war of Diepe, and, after three assaults, over-
powered, and the men's purses taken, and themselves put under hatches
and carried to Dieppe, where they arrived on Friday and were, before
landing, stripped to their shirts and the rest of their money taken,
in all 45Z. Next day they were examined by the judges of the
town why they were sent to Calais, and what prest money they
received in England. They said that they went to serve in the
King's works, and had received 2s. 6d. The judges objected to them
that they went to aid the Emperor against the French king, menaced them
with hanging for their rebellion in not obeying at the sight of the French
king's banner in the stern of the ship, and so constrained them to sign
a release of all their interest in their own goods and cause of action
for the robbery. That done, after keeping them in houses apart, they
dismissed them with a writing (copy enclosed).* In acquittal, could have
stayed a merchant of that town and a ship yet in this haven, but would
not do so without advertising the Council. Calais, 1 Aug. 1542. Signed:

1 Aug. 561. WALLOP to the COUNCIL.
B. O. Upon the bruit of assemblies in these frontiers, wrote that the
enterprise was said to be for Turneham, but he would take it to be for
Guisnes. Sent out three espials, two of them to seek where the camp
was made, or where most men were. Of these two, one returned yester-
day, saying there is no camp, and the men lie in three parts, one at
Estaples, another about Mountrell, and the third beside Hesding. Yester-
day, Vandosme, De Beez, and others of Picardy assembled at Turwan to
consult. Another of his espials returned to-day, saying that beside
Muttrell lay 3,000 " of those that were legionaries/' who said their enter-
prise was for Turneham or Guisnes. This day or to-morrow, Vandosme,
De Beez, and other noblemen should be at Syrkes, not six milos henoe,
beside Lisques, where their camp is preparing. This night should come,
from Huytrnyle beside Bullogne, to Fyennes, 4,000 or 5,000 footmen,
Normans or Bretons.
For surety, has taken order that Captain Vaughan, with 300 footmen,
lies nightly in this castle, into which he has also taken the treasurer and
surveyor. Mr. Awdeley has willingly accepted the charge of Purton'a
bulwark, although it lies somewhat open, as all the brayes do; howbeit,
Wallop trusts, in four or five days, to put .sufficient water everywhere.
Huberdyn willingly undertakes to keep the bulwark beside the Mill, aind
Browne, Mr. Palmer's petty captain, the Three-Cornered bulwark. These
bulwarks and the oastle take 500 men, leaving 1,300 to keep the town,
"the charge whereof Mr. Pawlmer with his standard-bearer very gladly
desired." In two days it shall be hedged and maunded round against any
sudden enterprise. Thinks that when the Frenchmen know of the retire-
ment of the Clevoyens from Antwerp they will mollify their furious enter-
prises, and has taken means to have it divulged among them. Thinks
Vandosme knows it already, for yesterday entered Arde the 300 hacbutiers
of whom Wallop before wrote, who were ordered not to enter without great
necessity, and on Sunday night had been put back into the villages ; " so
sometimes the Frenchmen giveth fear, and many times are afr&id them-
selves." His third spy is not come home, who went forth four days since.

2 Aug. 562. CHAPUYS to MARY OF HUNGARY.
Spanish Immediately after the departure of the courier with his letter of the
Calendar, 20th, sent to the King for a passport for another courier, with licence
' u* °' 3 ' to hire horses on the road, to overtake George before his embaroation
for Spain; which the King at once granted on reading her letter of the
17th ult., which Chapuys showed him both for that and to inform him of
her measures respecting the navigation, that he might do the like. The
Privy Councillors were almost angry at his man for not having applied
sooner for a quick passage for the packet to the Emperor. Chapuys told
them (quite truly) that he had engaged one courier who refused to depart,
&c. Her letters of the 25th ult. arrived on the 29th, and Chapuys
wrote to the Admiral for an audience of the King, telling his man
to explain the reasons. The Admiral is the minister through whom
the chart was sent (which has now been received back again), and well
inclined to us. But he replied that Chapuys had better put off going to
Court till he had further news. The King, he said, was greatly pleased
at his advioe having been taken abo>ut the two islands; and also that they
had provided for the defence of Antwerp, about which he had been anxious,
by sending thither the Duke [of Aarschot] and the Prince [of OrangeJ.

562. CHAPUYS to MARY OF HUNGARY — cont.
Has endeavoured to find what assistance the King might give to Flanders,
which the Duke of Vendome seemed decided to invade. Suggested to the
court-master of the English [governor of the English merchants] that he
should go to the King and Privy Council and ask for a couple of ships for
the protection, of the English there, as Chapuys doubted whether the
Queen would let English vessels leave, for fear of being captured. The
governor promised to do so. Does not expect aid from this King, except
on this pretext, which will prevent the French accusing the English of
breaking the peace; for when the vessels are there it can be pretended
they were arrested for the Emperor's use.
As to Secretary Aubespine, he and the French ambassador went to see
the King 25 miles from this city. The£ arrived 20 July, by appoint-
ment, but had no audience till the 24th, when, as he hears, it was very
short and meagre, and they had been coldly treated by the Privy Coun-
cillors the day before. Even those who favoured them most in former
times would hardly look at them. Yet Aubespine has done all he could
to persuade people that he has been well treated; which is false, for no
sooner had he seen the King than he returned to France, without taking
leave of anyone. On his arrival in London, he and the French ambassador
resident went to a place 20 miles of! to see the naval preparations the King
is making there. This time the ambassador accompanied him to the same
port where he was to embark, that they might have another look at the
fortifications and war ships, the ambassador having told him that he
might assure the French king that the English ships would not be ready
to put to sea for two months. Knows, however, a,s a fact, that two of them
have already left the port, and that the remaining five or six will be ready
to sail in a week hence. The commander of this fleet will be Wyatt,
who was ambassador to the Emperor in Spain, and lately in Ghent.
The man he sent to Court with Du Roeulx's letter has this moment
returned. The letter expresses his desire to be useful to the King in
executing the Emperor's orders, and announces Vendome's invasion of
Aitois, adding that within a month the French will oast all their venom
on that country, and if the King sent a divison of infantry with ordnance,
it would not be difficult to undertake some important enterprise against
them. The Lord Privy Seal sent Chapuys word that the King was wonder-
fully pleased at hearing of Du Roeulx's sentiments towards him, but
thinks the Imperial forces in Artois so strong that there is nothing to fear
from Vendome. The whole affair, however, depends on the answer which
the bp. of Westminster will bring back from Spain shortly; then will
bo the time to speak about the aid. But if matters become desperate in
the Low Countries, Chapuys might demand aid in terms of the Treaty of
Cambray. Such was the Lord Privy Seal's message; but neither he nor
the Admiral would go into particulars with Chapuys's man, for they
were both in conference with an ambassador lately come from Scotland
about raids on the Borders and indemnities to the injured parties. Has
no doubt that the Councillors suspect this last skirmish on the Borders to
have been instigated by the French.
Many days before this message was sent by the Lord Privy Seal, Chapuys
had thought it desirable for the Emperor's reputation to obtain, at any
price, some aid from this King, but has forborne till he receives instruc-
tions. There is no longer need to apply for succour for Antwerp, as
the French have raised the siege. To-day or to-morrow the revocation
of the statute on the lading of foreign vessels will be proclaimed here.
Has not pressed the Councillors unusually hard, as nowadays it will be
less dangerous ior our merchants to lade their goods in English bottoms.

Forgot to say that the English are no longer in such fear of the Danish
fleet, having learned that the Duke of Holstein has only six or seven ships,
not in very good order, which he seemed to keep rather for the defence
of his own country than for anything else. This the Queen can verify
from the Danish captain now a prisoner in the Low Countries. Has
delayed writing, in hope of news from Spain, but none has come. London,

R. O. The King has seen his letters of the 1st inst., and is pleased with
his order taken for the surety of Guisnez Castle. Of the last 500 men
appointed to Guisnez, 100 are to be sent to Hampnez Castle to be dis-
posed as lord Graye, captain there, thinks fit ; and for the reinforcement
of Guisnez 500 more shall be sent with all diligence. Without himself
leaving Guisnez, Wallop shall let De Reulx know that the King is
pleased, with his advice, and remind him to have the carnages, ordnance
and provisions for the enterprise they communed of ready if required.
He shall cause Ant. Rous to provide victuals both for those there and
for more if sent.

R. O. Wrote last that the third espial he sent out had not returned. He
is now come home, and says that, on Tuesday, 1 Aug., went out of Abbe-

powder, shot and other war necessaries, and 50 waggon load of bread.
About 10,000 footmen and 400 men of arms lie in villages between Abbe-
ville and Muttrell and towards St. Poll. Bruit was there that the army
should go to Arras. The captain of Turwan has driven some 3,000
sheep and cattle from the Burgundians, which shall be restored. Mons.
de Varvin has charged two men of Daverne to prepare 200 pieces of
wine to go to a village called -aqnarde, 2 leagues on this side Turwan
and 1 league from St. Omez. The same day, went out of Bullen, towards
Muttrell, 100 great traces to draw ordnance and 50 load of bread and

sent le Bastarde de Melez (?) to Daverne to muster 500 footmen to keep
the town and castle there.
Another espial says 2 or 3 carts with tents and pavilions have come to
Arde, and 6 carts with powder. Most of the army is betwixt Muttrell and
Abbeville, and so towards Turwan, intending to revictual Turwan and
then go to Arras or Bettwene. The bruit was that Mr. Poynynges came
hither with 500 men, and many more were coming. The same night a
fire was made on a bulwark at Arde, and a piece of ordnance shot, to warn
the country that war was begun between the Emperor and the French
king. Their fear was the greater because so many Englishmen had
landed. Englishmen of Ballingham and Anderne who went this day to
the market at Arde were stradtly examined what they would sell and
buy, as if they were mistrusted.
Hears that the Great Master of Flanders has 8,000 or 9,000 footmen,
besides the garrisons, and 1,500 horse; who yesterday very gently sent
Wallop a passport from the Regent for six horses from Bourbroughe.

5 Aug. 571. MARILLAC to FRANCIS I.
Kaulek, 443. Yesterday morning, which was Friday, the Privy Council sent a
<Tlrf whole man express to tell Marillac how they marvelled that, during the amity,
certain of Francis's subjects, with armed barks, had not only dared to
enter this river and take ships of Francis's enemies within their ports, but
also to fight with the Englisn and essay to carry them off by force ; which
they said was done by Tnomassin Nordest, of Dieppe, adding that four or
five ships of Dieppe were roving about the Isle of Wight, which is beside
Hantonne, so that the English dared not traffic there, and had petitioned
for remedy, and the King intended to send a ship thither at once; and
they prayed Marillac to write to Francis. I promised to do so, and
assured him that Francis intended1 to treat the subjects of his good brother
like his own, with other gracious words; so that the personage departed
more content than he had come edified, for in truth it seemed at the out-
set anger and indignation to come to me to make such a declaration ; and
especially as the man of whom he complained was arrested by them, and
is still prisoner at Dover, which, however, he concealed from me.
The same day, about 6 p.m., the Privy Council wrote a letter (enclosed)
by one of their couriers, signed by seven of the greatest of them and by
two secretaries and a master of requests, to the effect that, for affairs of
consequence which they wished to communicate to him, Marillac should
be on Monday next at Hoinzors (Windsor). The affair must be the more
important as they use such ceremony, which makes him think that they
will open some troublesome matter (ouvrir propos facheute), the -posi-
tion of affairs indicating rather ill than well; at all events, that their
deliberation is very important, for they have assembled all the lords
of their company, including Norfolk, who had gone home, and several
others who had been sent to their governments in the country.
Those whom Marillac sent towards Suethanthonne and Porchemeiut
report that, whatever bruit was made of it here, they saw no ship in those
quarters equipped for war, nor any levy of men save 300 who embarked for
Calais. It is true that, universally, lists are written of how many men
each parish could send out, and the houses are visited to see if the
inhabitants have bows and arrows according to the King's edict. Had
sent other persons to the countries of Norfolk and Closestre*, to see what
ships could be in the coasts opposite Flanders and Denmark, who report
that they saw forty, but not one equipped for war, and tha,t in those
districts they were taking tall men in the markets, and pressing them,
without giving them leave to go home, and bringing them to this river,
where they were embarked straight for Calais, and, as for arms, these
were furnished out of the wages due after the first muster, so that already
about 1,000 may have crossed ; and it will be- seen hereafter if more con-
tinue to be sent than was said, which was 1,000 men, as Marillac wrote
before.
The ambassador of Scotland has been since Sunday last until this
Saturday without being able to speak to this King, and has been badly
received and worse treated ; for, besides accusing him of coming to spy,
they have put (and kept for two days) in the Tower one of his men, for
speaking of the Scots to the disadvantage of the English. While they are
detaining this ambassador, they are sending arms towards Scotland with
the lord of Douglas and other fugitive rebels of that country, to resent, as
they say, the wrongs which the Scots do them, for every day comes news
of raids in which the English have commonly been worsted1. It is not
unlikely that they mean to wait till Marillac is with them in order that,
while they keep him occupied, they may despatch the said ambassador
and send him off without opportunity to communicate with Marillac.

571. MARILLAC to FRANCIS I. — cont.
Things here betoken war sooner or later, for, besides the provisions of
which Marillao has written, he is informed1 that the scholars of good
English houses who were studying at Paris are called home, and that
Italian merchants who have acquaintance with great men secretly warn
their French friends to order their affairs and leave as soon as they can.
This they are doing, at all oost (au moings mal qu'ilz peuvent), for also
there is no question of their getting justice in several great wrongs;
whereas hitherto they had fine words, now they are told that there is no
leisure to attend to it, which is as much as to say that nothing will be
done for them. Has received Francis' letters, of the 27th ult., from
Argilly; and as for the bp. of Vaisemester, who went to the Emperor as
L'Aubespine's memoir reported, it is impossible to know the cause of his
journey, but it is commonly said to be to bring the Emperor this way.
The three great ships of war which are ready to sail have not left yet, but
may do so at any hour ; and the eight others will be able to follow them in
10 or 12 days.

R. O. This morning, received news that the Frenchmen be about Turwan,
to revictual it, as they say. Their enterprise is, however, thought to be
for Turneham and Mountory, but they stay somewhat because the Great
Master of Flanders lies in those parts.
The workmen and labourers here have heretofore lived as quietly as
religious folk, but, since the coming of Mr. Poynynges with his company,
they say " they take great pains and deserve as much wages as they do,
and should be as able and meet to serve the Bang's Majesty, if any wars
should be, as others." Trusts to order them (so that the works shall not
be hindered) with fair words, unless it be to some particular lewd fellow

beginners of these troubles, his Majesty shall give the last revenge for the
same. " And albeit th'ambassador stood fast that the first- occasion
ministered sithens the departure of the Commissioners rose on this side,
and would therefore have had the stay certain, without any such qualifica-
tion; yet the King's Majesty would none otherwise agree unto it than is
before specified, so as he was content finally to take it as he might, seeing
he could not have it as he would."* You shall consider what attemptates
have been done on both sides since the Commissioners departed; and, if
it appear that the Scots have " no great advantage, you shall then, putting
yourself in order only to defend, [andjf forbear and take order, as much as
in you is, that all the Borderers under your charge^ do forbear to attempt
any further thing against the Soots." If the Scots attempt anything
notable, you shall revenge it ; but only if it is a notable raid apparently
done by consent of the rulers. How all things have proceeded since the
departure of the Commissioners, you shall, for your char gel, report with
diligence.

675. THE WAR.
K. O. On 7 Aug. Mr. Audeley and I, Henry Palmere, went to Arde to
Mons. de Torsey, who gently accepted our coming and Mr. Wallop's com-
mendations, declaring that, next his own master, he was the King's
servant, and would show all Englishmen what friendship he could.
During dinner he received news that the duke of Orleans has gotten two
towns in Lewsenbourke, one by assault, the other yielden, and has besieged
Yvoy, as strong town, in which are 3,000 Almains. With that, came news
from the Duke of Vandom's camp at Tornaham that, on 6 Aug., the
Duke took a little castle, called Eperlek, in which were 300 Burgundians,
who refused to render and were all slain. Another castle called Frolland
yielded. After dinner, De Torsey said that Vandome was informed that
Mons. Dewras "would banquet within with 5,000 Englishmen, which
he had under him." Said they knew of no such Englishmen; and he
was very glad.
He then sent his standard bearer to conduct them, who took them,
through part of the ditches by the Green bulwark and the " f estyne," to
Tornaham, where they "found the duke of Vandome accompanied with
the Count de Bryan, Mons. de Biez, the bishop of Terrewen, who was very
warlike apparrelled, and with divers other noblemen, they were in, a house
near unto the town gate of Tornaham on Saynt Oiner's side." The Duke
received Mr. Wallop's letters most courteously, and said he had that day
commanded that none should be so hardy to come upon English ground.
Thanked him gently and returned to Guisnes. Signed : Henry Palmere :

departure of the Commissioners, the King is fully even with the Scots, he
shall take order that the Borders under his charge forbear from
attemptates, unless the Scots attempt some notable thing (not a mere
" skegge or theft," but a notable raid apparently authorised by the rulers
of Scotland); "which order his Majesty hath lately prescribed to the said
Sir Robert Bowes and to his deputy wardens on the said marches
accordingly."
In all affairs, as he and his secret Council think expedient, he shall use
the advice of the deputy wardens, John Heron and the pensioners. He
shall entertain the Liddersdalies and other Scottish men who show willing-
ness to serve the King ; but secretly and discreetly, so that they may gain
no advantage, by espial or otherwise, nor be procured further than them-
selves offer, albeit he may use dexterity to win them or stay them for a
time. He shall keep good watch and espial.

Mr. Vaughan and Mr. Palmer, feigning that he had letters out of England
from Mr. Knevet, to require of Mons. de Vatndosme that, in case his
daughter was within the castle, she might be safely delivered to them. On
their way, they met 7 battery pieces returning to Arde with Mons. de
Backef eld and 500 footmen Normans. Coming to Mons. de Vandosme in
the field, they presented Wallop's letter and were taken into the castle,
to Prymeoke that was captain there, who said Mr. Knevet's daughter was
at Bourbrought. Then Vandosme and De Beez both offered services to
the King. They asked De Beez what Vandosme would do next, and he
said they would take Mountory and then " go against such as they should
find by the way." Said Mons. de Rieulx would meet them with 12,000
men. De Beez answered that if they met him he would " give his Order
in gage " that he should be fought with. De Beez further said he heard
that the King had sent 8,000 foot and certain artillery to Antwerp; but
their answer satisfied him.
With Vandosme were not above 3,000 Picards, 3,000 Normans and
2,000 enfants de Paris, and 2,000 horse. Within the castle were
but 50 men of war, the rest peasants. The captain went with bag and
baggage, the footmen left their weapons, and the peasants remained at

8 Aug. 583. SIR THOMAS SEYMOUR to HENRY VIII.
St. P. ix. 107. News is here so uncertain that he cannot vouch for it. The Turk
is coming in person to Buda with 300,000 men, divided in six battles,
. intending to attack on six sundry days. This army intends, therefore,
to tract time until the midst of October; for in the end of October the
Danube is frozen., so that the Turk cannot then bring his victuals by water.
If it was certain that the Turk would not come in person, even if he sent
200,000 men, as Baron Hedeke says, they would straight to Pest, which
•could be taken in three days, and then besiege Buda, which might be
battered sufficiently for the assault in eight days. Missing it, they would
garrison Pest, Stregone, RabBe, and other strongholds and retire home for
the winter. This enterprise can wait six weeks yet. The Turk has lately
sent 14,000 men to Buda and Pest, making 32,000 in all; but they are
sore punished with plague, men falling dead as they walk in the streets.
Two days ago Laur. Grey, a bastard, as he says, of one of lord Grey of
Welton's uncles, came to declare that, lately, two Englishmen, Harry
Pfelepes and James Greffeth Uppowell, came to Vienna. Perceiving
Pfelepes to be a traitor. Grey fell out with him and laid "travterey" to
his charge, and he is detained by the heads of the town. If it can be
proved, he will lose his eyes ; but Grey savs Pfelepes has confessed " that
he hath been ambassador for the Turk divers times by the space of v.
years," and therefore, as a traitor to the King of Hungary, he should lose
his life. The other, being the ranker traitor, as Sevmour thinks, has
a letter from the Bishop of Rome to be captain of 2,000"howsherenes,"
the best light horse of Hungary ; and seems to have some hope thereof, or
else he " would not leave his return to Rome from Noremberge to tarry
the King's coming to Veyena." He names himself Robert Bramtofn], but
is well known in Vienna to have before this confessed himself a gentleman
of Wales, and his name to be James Greffeth Upowehell. Mistrusts him the
more because he savs, " who so ever saith that Ha.rry Pffelepes is not aai
honest, true man he is unhonest himself." Has written to Hanoe
Honerganowde. the Kind's lieutenant (who is in Vienna because of the sick-

9 Aug. 586. CHAPUYS to the QUEEN OF HUNGARY.
cSendar Yesterday at dinner time met the French ambassador at Windsor,
VI. ii., No. '«. whither they had both been summoned by the King to hear certain
declarations from his Councillors ; which were that, owing to the alarm in
Christendom occasioned by the war between the Emperor and Francis,
and seeing that the King of Scots was said to have called on his subjects to
be ready for war, Henry had also determined to arm and lew men, and
had equipped warships, which were ready to sail immediately, and wished
the belligerents to be warned not to violate the privileges of English ports
or illtreat English seamen. Chapuys, in answer, thanked the King, and
said he had already written home about it, and was sure both the Emperor
and the Queen of Hungary would do what was right. He was sure no
one could misinterpret the King's action. The French ambassador made
a similar answer, only hoping that any mischief done by ill-disciplined
soldiers, which his master would promptly punish, would not alienate
Henry's friendship. Thinks this addition to his speech was ill-advised.
Heard afterwards from the lord Privy Seal that the King approved his
answer. It is true he had time to prepare it, having been told privately,
before the French ambassador's, arrival, of the communication about to be
made, and, further, that the King, while expecting an answer from the
Emperor, was raising 15,000 or 16,000 men under the lord Privy Seal's
command, to be sent wherever they were most wanted, and that he would
almost immediately send to sea 13 or 14 of his best warships, well-manned,
and had, besides, a galley almost ready to go out. This, the lord Privy Seal
said, would stop the depredations of French privateers who have been
busy ever since the war began ; besides which, the King was willing that
his ships might succour the ports in the Low Countries, though he would
not send troops or take open part with the Emperor till he had news from
Spain, such as he expected shortly. Chapuys having told the lord Privy
Seal, he supposed that he and the French ambassador had been called to
declare their reasons for the war, as had been done at the commencement
of the last war, the lord Privy Seal said his master knew perfectly well
who was wrong this time.
Neither Chapuys nor the French ambassador saw the King, but the
latter remained half an hour with the Council to listen to grievances of
merchants, &c. Understands he left the Court dissatisfied and told a
French merchant that it was not safe for Frenchmen to remain longer in
England, Heard from one of the Councillors that neither the French
ambassador nor Secretary Laubespine showed the King the draft of the
treaty Francis has made with the King of Sweden, — a proof that they
despair of getting him to join the league.
Since this steward (mattre d'hotel) to JaniesV. arrived to excuse certain
late raids of the Scots, a body of 2,000 horse of that country has entered
England. All1 but a few avant coureurs lay in ambush near the frontier,
and when the riders were attacked by four or five English gentlemen and
their servants, those in ambush came out and slew all the English to the
number of 42. On hearing this the King was so incensed that he refused
to see the Scotch ambassador. Yet afterwards, learning that the English
had crossed the Borders and, in revenge, slain three or four times the
number of Scots, he agreed to give him audience the day before yesterday.

It is thought, however, that Norfolk will go to the frontier and take the
command, and recruiting of men for that and other quarters goes on fast.
Four days ago the King had the courtmaster (governor) of the English
nation at Antwerp thrown into prison, for his cowardice in leaving the
town for fear of the people of Gueldres. An officer* at Guisnes has like-
wise been arrested on suspicion of being in intelligence with the French
through his wife, a Frenchwoman. However much the French may have
exaggerated the importance of Hochstrate and Dampvilliers which they
took some time ago, they have not succeeded in altering the King's good-
will to the Queen of Hungary. But if Turnehem and Montoire fall into
their hands some change in their feelings to us is to be apprehended.

K- °- Wrote yesterday of the taking of Tourneham. To-day sent espials
to Tourneham and Mountory. The first reports that all this day they
have been mining under the walls, intending to overthrow the castle
and burn the town, and then do the like at Mountory ; and so run all
Bredenerd over, overthrowing strong churches and holds, the Great
Master being retired over the water towards Gravelyn ; who, if he had
had sufficient horsemen, might have done them much harm, as they
straggle so, and in their camp lie so wildly without hedge, ditch, or
carts. A good number of Northern horsemen should have given them
many alarms, but, for the Burgundians, they lie as quietly as if in the
midst of France. A bruit ha® run these 5 or 6 days that Vandosme
expects 3,000 or 4,000 Bretons, but the espial now denies it. They speak
of many Englishmen being with De Rieux, insomuch that Vandosme wrote
this day desiring to know the truth. Replied that he knew of no such
thing, nor of any such four gentlemen, with 300 men each, going to serve
De Rieux, as appears by his letter enclosed. His espial brought word
from Mountory that at 9 o'clock " they " minded to live and die there,
at 12 o'clock they all fled away, and at 1 o'clock two ensigns of French-

St P^'ix'llO Since last despatch has received two letters from the Council
(with duplicate of Henry's letter to the French king), one commanding
him to require a double of the league contracted with the kings of
Denmark, Scotland, and Sweden, and the dukes of Saxony and Cleves ;
the other appointing him (as of himself) to move the Admiral touching

the pension. Went to dinner to the Admiral, whose entertainment
was at first stranger than heretofore. Details conversation, which he
began by hoping that English merchants would be protected in these
wars. The Admiral promised this, and said their quarrel was only with
the Emperor, for killing five of their ambassadors, and yet they had
sent home his ambassador in safety, and were still willing to treat if,
as was said, the ambassador had by the way received instructions to
do so. Paget said the Admiral should provide that their subjects should
treat the English amiably, for he had been asked if there was war
between them for the pension, and had laughed it off, but really he
marvelled that they made no device for satisfaction of it; their demand
had been unreasonable, but he thought a great deal less would please
them now. The Admiral said the quantity was always remitted to
England, desiring the rest as of liberality; he would gladly devise to
confirm this amity, and as for the pension, the two kings were rich
enough, the one to pay and the other to forbear.
The Admiral then led Paget by the hand to Che King, asking by the
way for the letter which Henry wrote him, as he considered Henry's
letters amongst his greatest treasure. Found all the ambassadors attend-
ing to speak with the King, and, after the Nuncio, Paget was called.
Said that as Laubespyny had in England made overture of a league
offensive and defensive with the kings of Scots, &c., reserving a place
in it for Henry to enter within six months, and as Henry had, by letter,
required him (Francis) to give Paget a double of it, he had come to
know his pleasure. Francis answered that, having ai just quarrel with
the Emperor, he had entered such a league,* " only defensive against the
Emperor," with the said kings and the duke of Prussia, and expect3d
the dukes of Saxony and Cleve to join, but had, for very love, left the
first place for Henry a.nd (upon its return, confirmed, in 15 or 20 days)
would send it to Henry. Details further dialogue, in which Francis
urged the advantage of joining such a great league, and said the king
of Denmark should furnish 50 ships, the king of Sweden, who is rich in
gold and silver, 60 (making "a hundred between them, adding their con-
federates of the Hans"), and the1 king of Scots 50 ships; besides fur-
nishing 7,000 or 8,000 men and, at the charge of the demandant, 18,000
lansknechts. Paget asked if in their leagues they did not include their
allies. Francis replied yes, but this was only defensive, and Henry
had not kept his league, for when the Emperor last invaded and Mons.
de Terbes demanded 12 ships, he refused them. Paget said he thought
his master had done all he ought, and wished every man had done the
same to him ; and Francis answered laughing that he said this because
Henry so much esteemed the Emperor's amity, and now the Emperor
had invaded his country of St. Paull, but since Henry refused to aid
him before, according to the treaty, he would not again ask him. Paget
said there was never reasonable thing proponed to his master but it
received reasonable answer; and he was sure Henry was grieved at
this hot war. Francis said he would chafe it still more, for Vendosme
was besieging Turnehani (or Dornem) with 8,000 footmen, &c. (detailed),
which lay between Arde and Turwyn, and would then go to Arras;
the duke of Cleves had taken a strong town in Friesland; and Longe-
vale and the marshal of Cleves, with 13,000 or 15,000 footmen and
2,000 horse, had taken Hochstrate and now besieged Anvers, into which
the Prince of Orange had only escaped with great loss, and which was
probably by this time taken. He had written to them to take 200,000
cr. or 300,000 cr. as booty, and let it alone, or, if refused, to sack it
but send Englishmen's goods out in safety. Paget said the English mer-

chants were much beholden to him, and if the news was true, he had
" a great fordeale." He replied it. was true as the Gospel, for he this
morning had letters of it from his ambassador in England, to whom his
spies in Flanders could send news in 24 hours, although the passages
by land were stopped. He added that Orleans, who had 8,000 lans-
knechts, 8,000 French adventurers, and 2,000 horse, would not sleep;
and he himself would go in person, for he heard that the Emperor
would be there. Paget asked what would become of the ambassadors,
and was told that they should lie at some good town of Languedoc, and
come sometimes to make good cheer and see the war.
Asks pardon for faults on his own part in the above discussions.
Henry will know the truth of the news of Flanders. Francis said he
received letters from England this morning, but Paget heard the same
news bruited yesterday, and on Monday heard that all Flanders was
revolted. Is sure Henry knows whether the kings aforesaid can furnish
the said rate of ships.
They love not to hear of the pension as Paget has noted in all his
conferences with the Admiral and French king, and the Card, of
Turnon is reported by his secretary to have said that the French king
expected Henry to join the Emperor against them. Also, since
last despatch, the ambassador of Ferrare has said to Paget that
he would the marriage of Orleans and Henryjs daughter had gone
forward, and, on Paget's saying the demand was too unreasonable,
added that it had been as well to quit the debt that way as never to
have it paid, for the French king said that Henry had broken
league with him; and the English might be sure that whenever they
asked the pension earnestly it would make a breach with France. This
ambassador and the Cardinal of Ferrare are buckle and thong, and
the Cardinal is one of the Privy Council, and he and the Cardinal
of Lorraine " the King's only minions." Learns much from this am-
bassador, who says Henry practises with the Emperor, and has sent a
bishop* into Spain to conclude a league against France. Whether these
reports are true, or whether the ambassador is only "a minister to
practise " with Paget, he shall learn nothing that may touch Henry.
If the ambassadors are left in Lans^iedoc 12 or 10 leagues (that is
almost 40 miles) from the King, it will be difficult to learn news. The
King is here and departs in a. day or two by water to Avignon ; and,
unless he tarries there, " we that go by land " are not like to see him
until we come to the camp, for he has~ sent to the Dolphin to march
on before. The Admiral rules alone, Turnon tarrying here and Anebauli;
in the wars, while the Chancellor is prisoner in the tower of Burges
whither Mons. de Nancy and 50 of the Guard led him from Argilly.
Common bruit ascribes his ruin to refusal to seal certain writings ; but
credible report says he has been taken in a trip before in matters of
finances, and that now he has persuaded the King that there was
more money ready (through the salt and other impositions) than is now
found, and that the King has taken this displeasure the rather to
appease the Bryttons, who lately made insurrection for that matter.
The President Montolon is sent for to be Chancellor. Thinks this
King has written of it to his ambassador. Mons. St. Ravy, who went
to Rome for a cardinal's hat for the Chancellor, is also sent for, from
the Dolphin's band, to be committed to ward ; which raises suspicion
that his fall is due to some practice with the Bishop of Rome. General

Boyer and the Chancellor's secretary are also in ward, but whether it
be for want of money or to amass money, Paget cannot tell. Great
means is made for money, and all that used to be put in bank at 5 or
8 per cent, the King will have for 10 per cent. Our practice to take
Nice is discovered, and the captain of the castle executed by the duke
of Savoy. Blanchefosse and Mons. de la Gryse deparrted two days
ago to levy 7,000 or 8,000 Swiss, having tarried here for money, which
Turnon has persuaded the merchant strangers to pay, although it was
not due till after this fair. The Italians and Almains, of whom he
wrote, are shipped from Savon, beside Genes, to Spain. The Prior of
Capes and Captain Blanckard with four galleys have gone from
Marseilles to lie in wait between Genes and Barcelona. The duke of
Alva, with 5,000 men, is at Perpignan, where man, woman, and child
have been labouring at the fortification. This King has lost by fire
at Marseilles a ship called the Marguerite, of 500 or 600 tons. The
Landgrave of Hesse is in arms against the duke of Brunswick, which
is likely to hinder proceedings against the Turk. One of the County
Palantynes haa come down towards Flanders with lansknechts for the
Emperor. One that came straight from the Turk's army, in the same
vessel as this King's ^packet, says the galleys were not ready, nor
Chevalier Daux arrived at Constantinople, nor the galleys likely to
pass on this side Cecile ; and " here we begin to say that we pass not
much for th'army by sea," and our biscuit will furnish our army by

T?'-alig The King has heard his letters of the 7th, and those of Be

Wallop must thank De Rieulx for his letters and promise to travail
to get him some Englishmen, advising him meanwhile to take the best
men of war of his frontier garrisons, supplying their place with towns-
men, and stay his enemies (to give them an overthrow, considering they
are the flower of all their garrisons, would make way for some exploit
Upon their strongest towns, and they could not both give an overthrow
and hurt any strong town); and so encourage him. The King's in-
clination, which Wallop must keep most secret, is that, if the Regent
commission De Rieulx to treat for a reciproque, as the ambassador here
has written to her, Wallop shall have such a commission for that pur-
pose as will show the Emperor that the King tenders the necessity of
his countries as their ancient amity requires. Wallop shall with all
diligence report how many Englishmen might, with De Rieulx's men,
meet the Frenchmen in the field, or stay their further enterprises.
P.S. — Received his letters of the 8th, and will send them to the

soon carried by assault. The French made the most of their victory,
publishing that Danvilliers was stronger than Thionville, which the Duke
was to invest, on thei 2 5th or 2 6th following. Then Longueval and Martin

on the 15th. After ravaging the neighbourhood of Bos le Due (Bois

Antwerp. Tha,t afternoon 5,000 Walloons made a sortie, and took two
carts (of ammunition and artillery), a large number of cows, and some
prisoners, an encouragement after the slight loss which the prince of
Orange suffered the day before. On the 28th the enemy raised the siege,
and went to Louvain, sacking and burning on the way, and on the 3rd

La Montoyre was not yet finished. Du Roeulx says he would do his
best without risking the small force under him ; and that the French in

Kaulek H7. The day on which he was to be at Windsor to communicate
0 G with the Privy Council, the Emperor's (ambassador had had assigna-
tion to he there, and, when both appeared, Norfolk, as eldest and first
in authority, declared that, war having arisen between Francis and the
Emperor, great armies being assembled on both sides, they, as neigh-
bours of both, had to be on their guard, and so the King their master
had decided to make such preparation that he could prevent and resent
any attack; and, as their subjects were ill-treated at sea by barks
equipped for war roving upon their coasts, to the hindrance of their
traffic, they were sending out their ships of war to protect navigation
and preserve the immunity of their ports, roads, and franchises; and,
likewise, as the King of Scotland had reviewed his people and taken
order to have all his forces ready upon warning, they had decided to do
the like; concluding that, as their master desired to live at peace, so
he was resolved to endure no wrong, and the ambassadors were in-
formed of this that they might write it to their masters. Thereupon
the Emperor's ambassador having said what seemed good to him, which
was no great thing, Marillac thanked them for so openly declaring their

King's intention to remain neutral, and assured them that it was Francis s
intention to preserve their subjects like his own, and no wise infringe
their franchises, and he promised to write, as he had already done upon
the message (propos) by the personage they lately sent to him.
Thinks that under the sweetness of these words of theirs, there is
much poison hidden, for, in announcing their preparations by sea and
land they make known that it is for war, as might be presumed from the
preparations heretofore, and in specifying the cause they indicate
sufficiently that it is against Francis and the king of Scotland, " pour
autant que sur ce ilz causoient leurs subjectz estre sy mal traictez par
ir.cr." Having caused the said ambassador to withdraw, they specified
to Marillac that the Normans gave them all these causes of complaint;
that a ship of Dieppe having taken a Flemish hulk, carried ten or
twelve Englishmen, who were in it, to Dieppe, which was intolerable;
that another little ship of Dieppe had taken within their streams a hulk
laden with salt belonging to their subjects; that ships of war were
roving about the Isle of Wight near Anthonne, so that their subjects
were afraid to traffic; that they would not permit ships of war to
sojourn in their roads or ports, unless constrained to it by weather, nor
to take Flemish ships which they had freighted with necessaries for
Calais, such as men, wood, stone, or victuals. Replied promptly that the
Englishmen takeoa to Dieppe had no cause for complaint, having been
at once liberated, as appeared by the acts of the Admiralty Court,
which they themselves showed, and those who took the Flemish ship
could not put the Englishmen ashore in England without risk of losing
their prize; that the ship taken at the mouth of their river was like-
wise Flemish, as well as the master and mariners, and those who took
it could not think that the English had so soon bought it (for they did
not keep it long), and at any rate their war ships recovered it without
the French opposing them, and they kept the Dieppe crew prisoners
at Dover, as pirates, although they showed by letters of the Vice- Admiral
that they had only been six days at sea. and had don® no other damage
than to the said Flemish ship, and therefore it was Marillac, not they,
who had cause to complain of their maltreatment of those poor men of
Dieppe; for the rest, to hinder French ships of war from tarrying
upon these coasts was directly against the treaties, which expressly say
that thoy ni[,y go, come, and remain at will, provided they do not exceed
100 fighting men (hommes de guerre) ; and finally that to save Flemish
ships because freighted by Englishmen, besides being contrary to eivery
observance of war, would permit the Flemings to hurt us and prevent
our hurting them, for every Flemish ship would profess to be freighted
by Englishmen, it being notorious that in times of war there is no
merchandise of the Emperor's subjects which jhas not a false bill of
lading (adveu) from those of London. In truth, to grant such requests
would hinder all traffic by Francis's subjects and take away all means
of hurting his enemies, and to make them is as much as to say that
they seek a quarrel ; and to this end they prepare the ten ships of war
which ha.ve been equipped and will sail within 7 or 8 days. Their pre-
paration by land, it is notorious, is to' invade the King of Scotland, for
the " Conte de Clerance,"* with the fugitives of Scotland,! is despatched
towards Barvich with 5,000 or 6,000 men, and Norfolk has said to
Marillac that if need be he will be there. The ambassador of the said

a servant of his kept two days in prison, a place was prepared in a
tower of Windsor in which, to lock him up on pretext that he was
only come to spy. However, in the end, these rigors were mitigated,
and letters have been delivered on both sides for surrender of prisoners
and reparation of excesses on the frontiers, " qui n'est que pretexte de
I'amuser affin qu'on puisse surprandre les Escocoys au despourveu.1'
He was reproached with this last league made between France, Sweden,
Denmark, and others, cf which it was said that this traitor Cardinal
of St. Andrew's was the cause, as also he had hindered the interview
which was to ha.ve been last year at York. This the ambassador in-
timated to Marillac, by one of his men, having himself no opportunity
because he is kept too closely (de trop court), and is not yet altogether
despatched.
The atoove are the indications that the English will move, and with
them are to be considered the particulars heretofore written, to which
he has nothing to add but that he is just informed that Mr. Chenay,
called milord Varden,f is to-day departed to levy a number of men in
Kent to pass in haste to Guynes ; by which people ( judge that some
effort is to be made on Francis's frontiers.

Laubespine showed them amply. If the Emperor would repair the
injuries he has done and restore what he detains, Francis would sooner
choose Henry's mediation for an accord than any other. When the

in it to be signed, is sent back, Henry shall have a copy ; and Francis

R. O. Wrote on the 9th what was then done by Mons. de Vandosme.
Yesterday, Vandosme, with the Count de Bryan, Mons. de Kerkey, and
the provost de Paris, went to Mountory with 500 horse, leaving De
Bees with the camp at Tournehani, and thence to Arde to dinner.
Where they intended to burn Oderwicke and other churches, hearing
that the Great Master lay there, they, instead, sent a trumpet to know
whether he would give them battle in an indifferent place, for where
he is are too many ditches. Is not sure whether the trumpet was sent.
Yesterday 700 horsemen of the Great Master's issued out of Oderwicke
towards Northkerke, and killed 100 Frenchmen who were spoiling the
country. An espial yesterday saw them uncovering Tourneham castle
and undermining the walls to overthrow it, the camp lying beside the
town for two or three days yet, and then going to the new river beside
St. Omerz to see what the Great Master will do. The espial saw 500
men join the camp, the daily increase of which Wallop mistrusts; for
if they conceive from the daily coming over of Englishmen that the King
will make war against them, they may "make some course." Guisnes
will, in two or three days, be no meet enterprise for their numbers,
" and specially that nation, although Bourgonyons be now so much
afraid of them." A poor man of Bredenerd, taken by the French and
ransomed, has just reported that the Great Master has made a bridge
over the river at his camp beside Oderwike ; which camp daily increases
and shall number, within two or three days, 30,000 men, and yesterday
500 horsemen joined it.
Mr. Ponynges, with his men, and Wallop, with Mr. Long's, have been
making up the braie betwixt the bulwark next the mill and travers
wall, " which wall I trust will be at his height within iiij or v days,
being a very warlike piece to behold." The Gate House rises fast, and
begins to cover much of the castle gate. This night or to-morrow will
be a good quantity of water round the castle, and therefore they sleep
more quietly. Guisnes, 11 Aug. Signed.

E. o. On the 4th inst. I arrived with my company at Guisnes, and

me to a fair bulwark, and willed me and my friends to take his house

to help me to a tent or pavilion, which he reckons necessary whatever
happen, and thinks, too, I should have a horse, to exercise myself at
leisure amongst the other gentlemen here "that daily useth that pas-

command, for I cannot "recover" one here. Mr. Vaughan, Mr. Pawl-

60S. For a TREATY with CHARLES V.
K. o. "The chieff poyntes that Grandevela did sticke apon, having in
other agreed to the articles/' with " our brief answer to the sayd
poyntes."
[A statement of the negotiations of Bonner and Thirlby in Spain,
giving the points in order with the answers in the margin opposite them.
Most of the answers state, in defence of the articles, that they were
passed by common consent of the Commissioners, i.e., of Chapuys and
Henry's VIII.'s deputies.]
That the second article be cancelled and drawn as in the treaty of
Cambray without the restriction of the merchants. Answer. — The re-
striction is in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom and indifferent,
and was understood in former treaties.
That the fifth article of rebels, traitors, and fugitives, be likewise
drawn, and reason had for the subjects of the Emperor and the Empire.
Answer. — It is conformable to reason and strict amity, and the sub-
jects are provided for by the wording.
That the sixth and seventh articles be likewise reformed; and the
seventh put as in previous treaties, where is no mention of the islands*
there specified. Answer. — They conform to the words of former treaties
and contain what the Emperor is to lend; and the specification in the
seventh article is the specification of what was in the former treaties.
In the eighth article it should be considered that the Emperor cannot
lend soldiers except at increased pay; and moreover it seems equitable
that aid should last as long as needed, and at the cost of the lender.
Answer. — The article is indifferent, and may be altered after the treaty
is made; and it was so modified for reasons given by Chapuis.
The change in the comprehension of the kingdoms of Spain with re-
gard to aid seems serious. Answer. — It was deliberated, and the King
showed good inclination, but finally [it seemed] that this kind of de-
fence is not suitable for Spain or Ireland.
Consideration should be had that the Emperor be not bound to lend
this subsidy if actually at war, with which he was threatened, in Italy
* The Channel Islands. See pp. 350, 351.
34 HENRY VIII. 347
1542.
against France and the Turk, who are common enemies. Answer. —
The article is equal, but the consideration is not reciprocal.
In the thirteenth, the treaty of intercourse should be formed as in
the treaty of Cambray. Answer. — We see no just causes for this.
The 15th might be modified to permit, in the event of an invasion,
treaty for the cessation of the invasion. In the 17th the King of the
Romans ought to be comprehended. In the 18th it might be provided
that, in case of contravention, the prince offending should have op-
portunity to excuse himself. Answer. — These points can be considered
by the princes after the treaty is made.
The indication of war shall be by common consent, and the tune
according to the progress of affairs. Answer. — It seems very much the
Emperor's interest that it should be made as soon as possible, unless he
has from elsewhere hope of concord.
Account should be had of defence agaiinst the Turk. Answer. —
This may be better done afterwards.
A convenient concession might be made in the subsidy by the
Emperor for the opening of the war by the King. Answer. — This is
concluded in England and Flanders.

has been reprinted by S. Haverkamp in his Sylloge Altera Scriptorum,
etc., pp. 469-574.].
Derived great pleasure from Gardiner's conversation when he waited
upon him tiie other day at Hampton Court, partly officially and partly for
the sake of consulting him. This pronunciation of Greek which they
[at Cambridge] have used for seven years he then briefly defended, and
Gardiner opposed with such arguments as he had before written to Cheke ;
but there was no opportunity in conversation to argue the matter at length.
Points out the magnitude ot the punishment imposed by the edict* in com-
parison with the otfence, and details encouragement which he received in
France and Italy to continue this pronunciation, from Christophorus
Landinus at Orleans and from Strazelius at Paris. From a Greek whom
he met at Paris in Bernardceo claustro he could learn nothing, as they
could not understand each other, but Strazelius gave him the opinions of a
learned Greek at Padua named Janus.
The remainder of the first book and the whole of the second book are
occupied with details of pronunciation and opinions of scholars upon them.
In the third book he gives the history of the introduction of the new
pronunciation at Cambridge seven years ago, when Gardiner was away in
France or Italy. He and Cheke and John Ponet introduced it, a Greek
comedy was acted with it, and a most distinguished man of letters, John
Redman, S.T.P., always used it. Four years passed, and all who held any
reputation were using it. Then Smith went to France', and the King gave
the Greek lecture to Cheke, who spent the first six days of his lecture upon
the amendment of pronunciation. Then arose Ratliffus and announced his
opposition, instigated by those who knew no more than himself, and caused
much rioting. Peace followed, and until Gardiner's ediot the youth of
Cambridge gave itself to the study of Greek with much fervour. Argues
the necessity for the innovation, and concludes with an earnest petition
for it to be allowed. Cambridge, 12 Aug. 1542.

One sent to the camp, who was there threatened for a spy, heard it
bruited that, but for Englishmen, they fwould have taken St. Omez,
Bourbroughe, and Gravelingesj and that, from Tourneham, they should
go to Ayre, Arras and along those frontiers. The other from the camp

34 HENRY VIII. 349

heard say that they would have taken Bourbroughe, Gravelinges and St.
Omez, but "the Kind's Majesty hath forbidden them not to go there;"
also he heard that "when they bruit one way they intend otherwise;"
and that the camp should remove this night past to Olske, a league from
Tourneham towards Bredenerd ; which removing is this morning affirmed,
and that they wull lie there until they have totally overthrown
Tourneham and Mountory. The two espials sent to Daverne, Chamer
de Boiz and Muttrell, agree that there are coming, between Amiens
and Muttrell, a great number of lanceknights, and that certain Brittons
are coming by sea. One he sent as far as Normandy, to recover two
mares stolen from Ballingham, saw 2,000 lanceknights between Amyas
and Abbeville, and also divers companies of adventurers coming to seek
wages. So that the camp daily increases, being very nigh neighbours
here upon whom he keeps close watch.

E- °- Has received his letter, and a,s to Tournehfem] and La Montoire,
is grieved, but it is better that the enemies took that than anything
else, and their demolishing of them is a sign that they could not keep
them. Thanks him for his evident desire to have had Englishmen to
aid the writer in this war ; but since it has not pleased the King, he will
look elsewhere, and hopes that some day the King <will know that the
good of this country is the good of his own realm, and that our enemies
detain as much and more from him than they do from us. As to their
boast about sending1 a trumpet to offer battle, none ha® come; nor was
there any need, seeing that I was four days encamped a league and a
half from them with much fewer men than they, where they might see
my watch fires and hear my drums ; and I have since come here, not
for fear of them but to provide for affairs, leaving at Saincte Marie
Querke only three ensigns of foot, who have been two days and nights
without alarm. In keeping on the defensive I only do my duty, since
the French king assails us without warning, sending daily to the Queen
that he would not begin the war, and would keep the truce, [and]
Mons. de Vendosme has written as much to me; and yet when the
Turk has invaded Christendom he suborned a great number who were
ready to go against the Turk, and has thrown them into Brabant, and
at the same time an army into Luxembourg and another here, having
allied with the Turk to destroy the Emperor and, consequently, Christen-
dom. They need not wonder at being fifteen days in this country with-
out bedng fought with, for I have been three months in their country,

R- °- His man arrived on the 22nd ult. with his despatch of the 30
[Spanish June, and memoranda of what he had transacted with the Queen of
VL i", No. Hungary, and of his communications with the King of England and his
48.'] Council touching the treaty of closer amity. Having examined these
and the draft treaty brought by the bp. of Westminster, four conferences
were held with him and the bp. of London. Subjoins an account of what
The two ambassadors first exhibited the draft treaty signed by the
King at the beginning and end, and delivered an unsigned copy (copy
herewith) and offered to pass the treaty in that form, for which they had
full powers, urging haste. The following objections were raised: — (1)
That some articles were couched in terms which the Emperor could not
honestly allow ; (2) others should be amplified, explained and made equal ;
(3) others should be referred to the Queen of Hungary or Chapuys. In
••he 2d. article, relating to Jiantise and intercourse, ai new limitation had
been introduced, making it extend only to merchants, which would make
the Emperor's other subjects resident in England amenable to the laws,
and consequently imply the Emperor's consent to his subjects living
there in accordance with the new opinion of the King ; but the ambas-
sadors refused to modify the article. [The articles for ai defensive league
against all persons cannot be allowed to pass, as they are manifestly
intended to include the Pope. The ambassadors! replied thalt the article
and claiuse were substantially the same as in the treaty of Cambray, and
that out of regard for the Emperor they had consented to the Pope
not being expressly mentioned. But the Imperial Councillors answered
again that at the time of that treiaty there were nk> difficulties between
the Holy See and England, and the then Pope (Clement VII.) was ex-
pressly comprised in it. They added that Henry]* might trust the
Emperor to fulfil his engagements, and that as he did not acknowledge
the Pope's spiritual power, he need not fear his temporal, unaided by
other princes. The ambassadors could not deny their arguments, but
refused to modify tha article.
The ambassadors insisted on the comprehension of the islandsf which
have been included, for defence, with England, saying that the King
and his predecessors have peacefully possessed them: — that they are so
small that there is no likelihood of an enterprise with 10,000 men being
made upon them, and that to make difficulty about it would annoy the
King.
The Imperial Ministers demanded that the article about rebels and
fugitives should be worded as in the treaty of Cambray, viz., that they
a/re not to be harboured but expelled ; for such restitution might lead
to inconveniences. The ambassadors replied that the French king had
accorded it, and that, Chapuys had made no difficulty about it. It was
answered that the Emperor would not take example by the promises of
the French king, but would treat in good faith, and this was to the King
of England's advantage, for the Emperor had no occasion to prosecute
rebels in England. This expulsion is injurious to the trade of the Low
Countries, and all tha more suspicious considering the new opinion of the
King, and that the words used by the ambassadors, and their insistence
upon this point, show that their maister would use it against such as were
fugitives for refusing to accept the new opinion, whom the Emperor could
not conscientiously surrender. The ambassadors being asked why there
was no mention made of rebels to' the Empire, replied that their com-
prehension would be too general. They were then pressed as to the dukes

Islands.

of Cleves and Holstein, whose rebellion, and the wrong they did to the
Emperor and his nieces was notorious; but nothing could be! obtained
therein.
To the ambassadors frequent remark that Chapuys made no difficulty
in this and the preceding articles, it was answered that he remitted all
to the Emperor's determination, and that there were things agreed by
the English which they afterwards changed, such as the removal of
Spain from the specific [clause of] defence to the general. And ais it was
suspected that other changes might be made which Chapuys had not
seen, nothing Avaa said of the diversity of the draft he sent, so as not
to reveal that he had sent it. They confessed thalt their master had once
accorded the comprehension of Spain, but the Council, at which Norfolk
was present, dissuaded him; and they affirmed that the articles were
substantially as concluded, whereas the contrary is evident when the
drafts are compared, notably, in the article of defence, about the army
by sea, which is another point as Chapuys well considers, to the Emperor's
disadvantage.
Further articles which the English will not modify: — (1) A clause
which seems to bind the Emperor to send aid, even if at war, in Italy,
against the Turk or the French, whereas the King ought rather to aid
him against the Turk. (2) The insufficient pay for horse and foot.
(3) The intercourse, which they will not have as in the treaty of Cam-
bray, but refer to the treaty of 1520, al point noticed in the) despatch
(advis) of the Emperor's sister.
On the article forbidding one party to treat without the other, it was
suggested that to stop invasion one party might treat alone, provided
that nothing was done to the other's prejudice. The ambassadors left
that for consideration after the treaty was concluded. As to the bonds,
&c., requisite for observance of the treaty, if one party complain of its
infraction the case should be submitted to> deputies of both before voyes de
faict are resorted to.
As to the declaration of war against France, the only difficulty made
was about the time, which the Emperor could not fix till he saw the
result of the present enterprises of the French king and Turk against
him, and of the army of the Empire against the Turk. As to the arid
demanded by Henry if he should make particular war on Francis, has
readily consented, provided the article be amended honestly, the aid not
to be obligatory, and the Low Countries to be assisted, if necessary, by
the said army. As to the enterprise of Montreuil, which the Emperor
desires above all things, he refers it and all that the King would enter-
prise against France to his sister.
After four days' conference on the above points, no agreement was
come to with the English ambassadors, who saiid they had no commission
to admit alterations, and advised that objections should be made as few
as possible, lest the King should be offended, promising their good offices
therein. It was then agreed that some one should be sent to England
from the Emperor's Court to promote the matter. Sends therefore the

on which they must be guided by the Queen of Hungary, as the Emperor
has no copy of the treaty of 1520, and lost all but an unsigned one of
that of Cambray in the expedition to Algiers; (10) the condition that
one party is not to treat without the other; (11) the liberty granted
to* either palrty to proceed against the other for contravention of the
treaty; (12) whether the English wish Ferdinand to be included (which
need not be insisted on if opposed); (13) time of declaration of war (the
Emperor's demands against France should not be specified beforehand) ;
(14) the enterprise against Montreuil.
Though Francis has practised against the Emperor in Italy, in Flanders
and on this side of Roussillon and Navarre, and now masses great forces
on this side, he has not as yet broken with the Emperor, but continues
to talk of peace; and the Emperor would still temporise with him, to see
what he will do, before being bound to another war and to abstain from
treating without England, and not enterprise anything aigainst Montreul,
which would mean a return to open war. They must delay until the
Emperor notifies to his sister and them his final intention; but if the
French meanwhile break openly, they shall conclude the treaty, by the
advice of his said sister. They may excuse delays by the necessity of
consulting with the Queen, and De Courrieres may go over to Flanders.
The Emperor will forthwith provide two "zabres," and if the English
do the like, news will pass continually. Finally, they must press again
for aid against the Turk, with the further argument that the Pope will
refuse it, owing to this treaty, while France will instigate the Turk the
more to attack the Emperor and him.
The ambassadors, after their first conference, desired a memorandum
of the pointsf on which difficulty was mad©; which has been given
them, that they might make ai written reply, but they have not done
so. The difficulty about the King of England's titles will be avoided
by the course mentioned in a previous letter to the Queen of Hungary.
Leaves to her and De Praet the question about giving pensions to Henry's
chief councillors, having already written to her to give them presents
and excuse the pensions. Will observe the promise J Chapuys took in
his name not to treat, before next October, to each other's prejudice, and
to keep it secret ; but will accept overtures from the Pope, the King of
France, and others, to prevent war, and the promise may be prolonged
upon that condition. Monicon, 12 Aug. 1542.

sion from the Regent. For secrecy and surety, the King refers the
meeting to Wallop's appointment. On their meeting he shall say that

when Vandosme and the French first laid siege to Turnehani, the King,
believing it could have been, relieved by the men of Guisnes, wrote
to the Regent to commission De Rieulx to conclude with Wallop for
its relief, but, as Turn eh am and Mount ory are now won past re-
covery, and the enemy so few, 8,000 foot and 2,000 horse, that they
dare not besiege any place that might hold them any time, the
cause of that commission seems to be gone; nevertheless, if De
Rieulx thinks the French will lay siege to any place that can hold out
long enough for men to be conveyed over, because he dare not adventure
his men a.s he might have done when they were so near neighbours, he
trusts that, upon reasonable conditions, the King will succour them.
If he press to have them suddenly sent over, Wallop shall repeat that the
ground of the commission being gone, he must first advertise the King
and know (sayingf this as not doubting but that he is1 furnished for it)
how much shall be paid for the wages, conduct, and levying of the men,
whether they will promise a correspondent aid in horsemen in case the
King hereafter attempt anything against France, and whether if the
French injure the King's countries there, they will take no end with
them (the French) until the damage is retdubbed or revenged. Wallop
shall then, giving him good hope and reminding him of the tenuity of
the enemies, take his leave; and advertise the King.
In speaking of the enemies, Wallop shall say that Englishmen much
marvel (considering the tenuity of their host, in which were all the chief
men of war of all the garrisons in Picardy, " the overthrow of whom
should have been no small victory ") that De Rieulx did not pick men
from the garrisons of Flanders, leaving enough to defend the towns,
and either give battle or spoil the country in return. Finally, if, as
Wallop writes, Vandosme has sent a trumpet to offer him battle, Wallop
shall say he cannot with honour refuse it, and advise him to appoint
the place near Guisnes, where he may the sooner have succour of
Englishmen.

R- O. On the 12th received theirs of the 10th containing four points,
P" **• 2 viz. : 1. That he should thank De Rieulx for his advertisements, promise
to try and get him some Englishmen, as he desires, and advise him in
the mean, season, &c. Two or three days past, to know his inclination
and whether Vandosme had sent a trumpet offering him battle, sent a
letter to De Rieulx, declaring Va<ndo>sme's being before Tournehani, with
their small number and loose order, scattering from Tournehani to Arde
and from Mountory to Tourneham, and in his- own country of Bredenerd ;
adding, for further encouragement, that Englishmen daily descended at
Calais, the Emperor's affairs in England went well, and that his letters
touching the entertaining of Englishmen were sent to the King, and also
his letters to the Emperor's ambassador. Will to-night send him another
letter, according to their instructions. 2. To the second point, to be
kept most secret, thanks the King for his confidence, and trusts to fulfil
his pleasure. 3. To report with all diligence how many Englishmen
would suffice, with De Rieulx 's forces, to' meet the French in the field
or stay their further enterprises. Considering how long the French-
men have lain upon these borders in small numbers and bad order, and
De Rieulx with aa many as they so nigh, concludes that " Flemings be
nothing worth," and that he himself could, with 500 Northern; horsemen

have taught the French to keep better together. When the King sends
footmen over, 500 Northern horsemen should come with them. To meet
the Frenchmen in the field would require no less than 4,000 English-
men, or to stay their further enterprises 2,000. The French are well
chosen, and, moreover, 2,000 Almadns join them to-day or to-morrow,
and 4,000 Bretons are coming to them. When these are together all
Flanders is not able to give them battle, bub 4,000 Englishmen, with at
least 2,000 Almains and De Rieulx's men, would make them retire faster
than they came. Englishmen would more discourage them than any
other nation (whose coming they fear already), and would most comfort
the Burgundians. Good Mons. de Bieulx is now out of hope, as his
letter herewith will show.

Mons. de Rieulx should note the small number of Mons. de Vando'sme's
camp, I will not mention the coming of the* lanceknights (although he
must know it), whose coming will give him less courage ; howbeit, Mons.
de Lisquez is coming to him, within two days, out of Liexemburgh, who
is one of the hardiest gentlemen of Flanders.

alarm a peel of Mons. de Reus, called Remyngham ; and, at the sight of
his men, the 300 Burgundians within the said peel set fire to it and fled.
Another espial reports that this forenoon certain young men of Mons.
de Reus, against the Great Master's command, passed the river beneath
the abbey of Watton, and one vane of them marched towards the
Frenchmen who were straggling abroad ; and so fell into an ambush, in
which were one vane of Picards and two of Normans, Mons. de
Bagkauyll and Saynt Obyn captains, who took 60 of them. One boat-
full of the Burgundians was drowned, wherein were eight persons.
Mons. de Fosquesolles was near by with 1,000 horse to rescue
the French if required. Brednard is sore spoiled. The French lie
scattered as if they feared nothing, part at Tornham, part in Brednard,
part at Remyngham, and the battle 'at Montcove. "I shall now for

ceives that the King desires the speedy finishing of his two bulwarks
in the Marshes, and would ha,ve Wallop desire all men of war who can
be spared to help the work. All the men of war in the crew of Guisnes
halve, since their coming, wrought about the castle with a very good
will. Mr. Ponynges first persuaded his compatny very discreetly, and
remained in the works while they wrought, and the others have followed
his good example. Trusts therefore to satisfy the King's expectation,
and awaits only the coming of the Surveyor from Calais.
The Frenchmen remain in their camp beside Tournehani, to St. Omez
wards. Yesterday they >sent 2,000 foot and certain horse to a castle
of the Great Master's, called Remynghain, about which in the fields
were five standards Burgundians, and 400 men within the castle, who
seeing the French approaching fired the castle. The five standards per-
ceiving it on 'fire fled away, and the Frenchmen pursuing, killed or
drowned 120 or 140, and took as many prisoners1, as they report. The
captain of the five standards was Mons. de Newerley, who is drowned
or killed. Trusts to know more in two days, having written to the
Great Master.

not yet whether the enemies will go towards Bapalmes or look to pass
this river. No wonder if a country assailed on three sides at once
suffers somewhat. If France were assailed in as many parts and as
suddenly it would be scarcely less astonished. Two assaults by the

The King has received his letters* of the — (blank) inst., in the
end of which he writes that Mons. de Lisques is come from Luxemburgh
to the Great Master- 6f Flanders. Knowing Mons. de Lisques to be
a hardy gentleman, and one whose presence in Luxemburgh is very
necessary, if affairs be there as reported, and the Clevoye joined with
Mons. d'Orleance, the King thinks that things there cannot be in such
evil ca.se as was noised. You are to search how the things of Luxem-
burgh stand, and what Mons. d'Orleance has done and intends, and
whether the Clevoyes have indeed joined him ; also what has become ot
the lanceknights who were going to Mons. de Bures and the prince of
Orange, and what they have.

Part of the said (sic) ships which this King had equipped for war
left two days ago, to convoy, as accustomed, the wool fleet which goes
yearly to Calais; ana >the rest are ready to sail towards Porchayne,
where the others retire, or to carry men or provisions1 of war towards
Scotland, which is easier done by seat than by land. There are a good
many other ships of lords and merchants, of which 7 or 8 of 300 or 400
tons are taken for the King's service and the smaller forbidden to sail
without permission, which is however easily granted, provided the masters
ship double crews (y ayent a mettre double equipage). As to land forces,
wrote on the 10th that a general review was being made of those who
could bea^ arms. It is since reported that choice would be made, by
parishes, of those most apt for war ; who would Be retained and enrolled
to hold themselves ready whenever sent for. The same commandment

Bron,, will leave in four days to go to Francis, with a secretary and a

to speak of the pensions or some other troublesome charge, for this Mr.
Bron is the worst of those who are hostile to France ; and Francis will
remember the good report he made here on returning from his journey
in Francis's Court when the Queen of Hungary came to Compiegne.*
Begs Francis also to remember to keep him waiting before his audience
and after his despatch as the English commonly do with French envoys,
which is at least 8 or 10 days; and so gain time, which is very im-
portant at this advanced season. Daily, men pass in succession towards
Calais or the North, and one sees harness, ensigns, and liveries of foot-
men and, at times, a number of men wearing already the red cross, in-
dicating the will to make war, the bruit of which is still incomparably
greater with regard to Scotland than to France ; for it is commonly said
that there is no intention to break with Francis unless he should aid
tfcs king of Scotland ; whom they propose to harass, whatever fine words
they use to his ambassador, who is still here, and cannot be despatched
so soon as he thought.

K. O. Received on the 15th theirs dated Sonnynghill, the 13th inst.,
with a commission to commune with Mons. de Rieulx, if he have the
like from the Regent and desire it. Has not yet heard from him for
any such purpose. Perceive®, by theirs of the 10th, that the King
would have him answer De Rieulx, thanking him, &c. (words of No.
594, both letter and postscript, recapitulated). Had written the like
to him before receiving their letters, and lately sent them his letters
in reply, and of Vendosme's sending no trumpet to him. Upon their
said letter, sent this bearer, Mr. Awdeley, to him with letters ; both
for surety (he being very discreet) and to learn the number and order
of his camp. Awdeley arrived incontinent after the Frenchmen had
given the overthrow to his men that passed over the water to rescue
his castle, and saw the bodies of those drowned in the flight pulled out
out of the water. He can relate the wholei circumstance and describe
De Rieulx's camp and inclination (being apparently "far from the pur-
pose I should persuade him unto "). He is an honest man, meet for ihe
wars, and able to set men in order from 1,000 to 10,000 and upwairds,
"hardly to be amended."' Encloses De Rieulx's answer (to his letter
by Awdeley), who has scarcely touched the principal points; and is
unable to give battle, and scantily to defend his country, and has no
horsemen with him. Wrote that 4,000 men, with his company,
could give battle to- Vandosme, but now thinks 6,000 too little;
for all his footmen are not worth 1,000 good men (Wallop would
rather have 2,000 Almains), and his best men are now killed, drowned
and taken, and he " greatly astouned with the said loss." He is recom-
forted with his news from Divoix, where were killed Mons. de Guise's
eldest son, Mons. Damaile, and Mons. Disden, with 12 or 14 great per-
sonages of France, and 1,500 footmen. " Mons11. Daumayle and Monsr.
Disdayne were ij of the gallierdes, and greatest personages in France,
the King's children and Monsr. Vandosme excepted."
Hears only from the French camp that they will tarry two days
yet, to overthrow the great dungeon and other towers at Tourneham
and likewise at Mountory, and then go to Bapayme.

Before answering his letters of the 2nd and 9th inst., informing

to her letter on the closer alliance. Sends abstract of the ; Emperor's

on two most important points, Chapuys should set forward the negocia-
tions at once without stopping at the new title .-given to the King, lest
he should resent it. If, however, he find that the Emperor .ought to
give him the title he speaks of, he had better suspend the negotiation,
till he know what answer has been made in Spain to the bp. of Win-
chester's (Westminster's?) mission. Delay would be awkward, for if
the negotiation were suspended, the King would only be bound to help
the Emperor according to the treaty of Canibray. Has appointed the
bearer Franchois de Phallaix to go to England, and according to his in-
structions, which he will show, go with Chapuys to ask aid of the Jxing
pending the negotiation of the treaty. "Would have sent one of the
principal personages in these Low Countries, but that the enemy is attack-
ing on every side. The fall of Tournehem and La Montoire', which
Chapuys, in his letter of the 9th, feared might discourage the English,
has already taken place; but, as the French have destroyed those
fortresses instead of keeping them, the English will see that the loss
was unimportant. Tournehem could not stand a regular siege, and the
fortifications of La Montoire had not been completed. Orleans is still
before Yvoix, and the French say will continue the siege till he has
won the town. Warships from France and Denmark are on the coast

hearken >when they should dislodge. They sent word, by 10 a.m., that
they found the said camp dislodging. Two footmen who went thither,
feigning to buy victuals, reported the same, and that ,Mons. de
Vandosme and the horsemen waited upon the hill beside Tournehani
to see the great tower overthrown with powder, which was not so effec-
tive as was expected, " ne also the like of divers things that they would
have done, a® well there a® at Mountorey." Some say Vandosme lodged
that night at Equerres, beside St. Omez and Turwan. Some think he
intends homeward, and to put his men in garrison, others that he will
first go into Bappayme. Thinks that, with his number, he will not be-
siege any strong town. The Surveyor and Palmer, the captain, intend-
ing to go to Arde, by Wallop's advice feigned their coming was for
safe conduct to the camp, and saw the town in going and coming, being
well intreated and supping with Mons. de Torsey. Palmer brought
commendations from Mons. de Vandosme and the Count de Bryan, which
latter said that, being that day in Bredenerd with 5 ensigns, he chased
an ensign of Burgundians, accompanied with a good number of peasants,
who took refuge upon the King's ground (apparently beside Bowtes),
and folded up their ensign and cast it down; whereupon he pur-
sued no further, because Vandosme had forbidden going upon the
King's ground. The Surveyor and Palmer intend to write
further what they learnt. If the Burgundians came so to take
succour on the King's ground the lord Deputy should know it; but an
espial hasi just reported that yesterday some Frenchmen in Bredenerd
attacked some Burgundians, who retired into a marsh beside Oderwike,
not being ,the King's, killing in their retreat some 30 of the Frenchmen,
who were afraid to follow them into the marsh, not because it was the
King's ground, but because another ensign of Burgundians was approach-
ing. If this be true it shows " how Frenchmen can excuse their own
faults and turn the same to their honor."
Yesterday the Bailly was also at the camp seeking knowledge, not
knowing of his brother and the Surveyor being there. Caused him to
write what he learnt there, and encloses it. Has heard nothing from
the Great Master since Awdely's departure. If the Frenchmen retire
he will have leisure to study how best to hurt them, " which he shall
hardly do without the King's 't Majesty's assistance; thinking thereby
the rather to hear from him." Guisnes, 18 Aug. Signed.
P.S. — Required Palmer, the captain, if Vandosme asked news, to cay
Wallop heard that Damayle and Disdayne were killed at the assault
of a itown in Luxemburgh. He confessed Daumale to have been hurt.
Apparently " the Frenchmen have had great loss there."

E. O. 2. The Bailiff of Guisnes' report.
At my arrival at the camp of Mons. de iVandomes beside Oske, at
7 o'clock this morning, I found the footmen on the march, about 4,500,
who went to lodge this night at Equerres. Mons. de Vandome went
to Tornaham with most of the horsemen, some 1,500, and abode there
from 8 in the morning until 5 at night. Fire was given to the mines,
but took so ill effect that the dungeon and other places remained whole.
Mons. de Vandome then departed, leaving order for its < overthrow.
Mountorye was overthrown the same day. An acquaintance showed me
that Longavall should repair with his men, those that were before Ande-

coming, are caused to retire, and Vandome goes homeward by Bapanie

No. 120. to Edinburgh he met, beyond Haddington, on the 16th, lord Seton and
the lairds of Lowdean, south of Edinburgh, assembled, a>s they said, for
defence of their realm ; but Raye heard that they would invade England,
and that the west of Lowdean and Lauderdale was coming to join Teviot-
dale. Huntley is lieutenant, because Murray is sick. The earl of
Argyle, with the North Isles and the Irish, is ready at an hour's warn-
ing. One Scrymeshen, master of works, comes to Coldingham with
300 men, and one Charles Murray to Dunse and Cockburne. In Edin-
burgh Raye was commanded to' keep his inn, accompanied by a Serjeant
at arms, and escorted back to ^he Borders by a pursuivant. The Scots
on the 18th inst. burned Carhani tower and waste houses in Cornell. John
Carr, captain of Wark, had, the morning before, burnt waste houses in
Teviotdatle, called Ryden 'and Halden. There are 1,000 workmen in
Berwick, and 200 men come with Angus and Sir George Douglas, which
is far more than the garrison. Desires, if war arise, that he may, like
previous captains, have 300 men of his own to strengthen! the garrison.
Mr. Clifford had his nephew here with 300 men in the last wars ; and
the writer's indenture is for 250 to be taken in if he see need, and 250
more, if siege be laid to the town or castle. Here is only one windmill
for grinding wheat, and ai watermill without St. Mary gate, which may
have the water drawn from her, so that provision of barrel flour or more
mills is needed. Angus is an honorable man, and Douglas a worshipful
one, but they are Scotsmen born, and if the King of Scots died would
return to Scotland, and they shall by their remaining here know the
privity of Berwick as well as I, the captain. There is such strait punish-
ment in .Scotland for intercommuning with Englishmen, that it is hard
to get espials for money. Berwick, 19 Aug., 6 p.m. Signed.

night their canip brake up, Mons. de Rieulx came to St. Omez with 800
tall men, newly come to him, whom he left in garrison, and yesterday
departed with 800 horse. The bruit is that he is gone to meet the

18 B. vi., I41b. writing to .their sovereign, brought by him. Their master rests ever
of good mind to keep the peace with nis uncle, who seems to have un-
deservedly conceived suspicion . of him. Wrote his instructions at his
departing, amd since then the attemptates done before the departing of
Bute pursuivant, who they believe is now there with him. Since tnen,
notwithstanding any charge sent by the King of England for abstinence,
the English have ridden, burnt, harried and slaan continually in Scot-
land, especially Quhitsum, Fyshewyke, Pakstoun, Fowlden, Haymouth,
Hupsetlmgtoun, and other towns in the Merse, and there is like to be
great trouble unless the Princes find hasty remedy. Their master is
content to send ambassadors fully instructed to conclude, and writes
the answer to the King of England's letters and a supplication, for safe
conduct (copies enclosed), " guhilk saufconduct ze sail gar speid and send
with yis berare with diligence." Because their sovereign understands that
there is great ," gamising " coming to the Borders ot England, and kens
not whether they are to invade his realm, " his Grace hes gert sende ma
wageours to his bordoures nor we wrait to zou wes send atore to Kelso,

Borders, and sent there this day with command to cause the wardens
to write to the wardens of England to stop all invasion, and to appoint
days of meeting, and make and take redress. Their sovereign will sub-
tract his footmen and garrison from the Borders if the King of England
will do the: like and abstract his. He must desire the King of England
to send sharp command to his wardens to condescend to the abstinence.
Assure him, on their honors, that their master desires peace, and could
do no less than supply his Border unless he would have suffered his
[lieges to ;be burnt, harried and destroyed. There may still be peace,
for the damage done is amongst the Borderers, who have always been

I do not understand. Your man said he used , injurious words, and
so I ait once sent him to prison, where he shall remain until I hear
from you. An Englishman who makes his abode often at Andre
with half a dozen Burgundians, is the cause! of all these broils.
He was within Tournehan, and goes secretly through the villages.

with any great force, Wharton shall not hazard his people, but furnish
Carlisle, besides a sufficient number to guard the town, with 3,000 good
men to issue out and cut off the Scots from their victuals, and keep them
waking at nights; keeping the earl of Rutland, lord Warden of the
Marches, whose orders he shall follow, informed of his doings. He shall
call the gentlemen and other good subjects, who have served him in his
charge, and thank them on the King's behalf. His device for certain
of the country to remain assembled in places convenient is good, but
this is no time to constrain men ; he is therefore to win them to it by
good means, or else defer it to a more propitious time. Hampton Court,

Spanish The man he sent to the Privy Council to inquire for news (as
VI. jj^Nof'52. mentioned in his last), reported that they had news of the surrender of
Tournehani and La Montoire castles ; at which they were much grieved,
and had sent orders to the governor of Guisnes to communicate with
Du Rceulx. They haive sent Chapuys word of some insurrection in
Bretagne, whether for taxes or because they wish the duke of Orleans
for their lord. Believes that Chancellor Poyet's imprisonment has
something to do with it, the Bretons fearing annexation to the Crown of
France. The Chancellor has been taken to the tower of Borgez (Bourg en
Bresse?) and on the way wrote two letters, copy enclosed.* Even the
French ambassador here knows not the cause of his disgrace. He went
yesterday to Antompton (Hampton Court?), but did not remain long.
Has not yet been able to ^ascertain what made him go, and will halve
fewer opportunities of knowing what he is about in future, now his man
is gone.
Soldiers aire continually recruited and equipped for war, which does not
sound well in French ears; the French merchants are fast leaving the
country and selling their goods. The Scottish ambassador is still in
London, but has been recalled in haste — apparently because the Irish,
who are now under the rule of this King, have just made a raid on the
Scots, with whom Henry is at present very angry, knowing that wh.it
they lately did was at the instigation of the French. The bp. of West-
minster arrived at Vervier (Bermeo?) on the 19 July, and George on
the 23d. There is no talk yet in Biscay of war. Letters from Lyons
of the! 10th say that Alba was encamped near Saoilces (Salces) and
Perpignan with 5,000 or 6,000 men, and that considerable levies were
being made in Spain. London, 21 Aug. 1542.

Mons. Dorleance, &c. Since those letters were written, has despatched
at least four letters to them, and sent Awdely to the King with a letter
to them, and one from the Great Master to Wallop, mentioning assaults
on Yvoire and death of Mons. de Guise's eldest son iand Mons. Disdayne,
&c. Yesterday received at letter (enclosed) from. Mons. de Torsey,
captain of Ardre, in answer to Wallop's about disorder between his
footmen and some of the Pale, the day before. He says Orleans has
gotten Yvoire by assault, &c. (as in the letter, No. 645), but makes
no mention of De Guise's son or Mons. Disdayne. The gentleman that
brought the letter said the Clevoyes had not joined Orleans ; and indeed
Wallop thinks they could not pass through the country without meet-
ing the prince of Orrenge and Count de Bure, hearing that the Regent
assembled 25,000 footmen for that purpose, of whom 12,000 were lance-
knights, besides horsemen, as he has before written; howbeit a bruit
has run here this six or seven days that they had joined, which Wallop
could not believe, and therefore did not write. Is not sure where the
prince of Orrenge and Mons. de Bure now are, but heard that the
Prince should join the Great Master, as he has written. Trusts to know

The French camp lies between Hesding and St. Pol, the 300 hac-

ing home, so , that all will be broken up by the end of this month,
"being paid to no longer day." They begin now to fear Mons. de
Rieulx, and confess that a great number of men are coming to him.
What with their glory and the hot weather, with much drinking, two
Frenchmen challenged two of Wallop's men to " fight in camp ; " which
was gladly accepted, and one of the French demanded the camp before
Wallop, who was content, and sent a gentleman with a letter to Mons.
de Torsey. When the "said .French" was brought before Mons. de
Torsey, he utterly refused his sayings, "like a very Frenchmen and a
drunkard ; " and while De Torsey communed with him, another French-
man challenged Wallop's! man, saying in English, "you Englishmen be
all naughtz; wishing that they two might try it, with many braive
words." This being declared to Mons. de Torsey, he was in great choler,
and sent his man to prison, writing to Wallop that he " should there
remain until he had news from me, although it should a (sic) whole
year." Has thanked him, and desired that the man may be liberated
if he will execute his challenge; and, if not, kept in prison until Wallop
sends for his deliverance, which shall not be till next summer, to prove
whether De Torsey is a man of his word, who says to every man, " Je
suis homme de ma parole."

ordnance, Rutland must -furnish and victual Norham, Wark, Alnwick,
and such holds as may be kept, store victuals in Berwick and Carlisle,
and repair to Berwick to cut off the Scots from their victuals, and keep
them waking with nightly alarms, which will require 3,000 over and
above a sufficient number to guard the town. Has written to Wharton
to provide in like manner for Carlisle, and be ready to aid him. 3.
Some skilful workman of Berwick must go immediately with Robt.
Roke to Holy Elandei, to make two bulwarks of earth, one to
beat the road the other to defend the Elande, Roke to command
until a captain is sent. A piece of ordnance to beat the road
and some small iron pieces must be sent from Berwick. The Dean and
Chapter of Durham are written to to cause the inhabitants of the Island
to assist. 4. Wark must be furnished with ordnance and gunners from
Berwick. The President and Council at York are written to to have
the country under them ready at an hour's warning ; whose coming for-
ward, with Rutland's quick stirring behind, will doubtless cause the
Scots to retire with loss. Posts are laid to convey news. If the Scots
enter some men should be sent into unguarded places in Scotland to burn
and destroy all they can.

654. MARILLAC to FRANCIS I.
Received by an English courier the despatch of the 10th, and
immediately asked audience of the King. At ,: the day assigned, at
Hampton Court, the King said nothing worth writing, save that in
reading Francis's letters (at the place where he mentions that if the
Emperor will make reparation he will accept any means of accord) this
King said, smiling, that the Emperor's affairs were not such that he
wa:s reduced to seek an appointment; making a long discourse on the
difficulties of the enterprise of the county of Roussillon and the great
number of men in Perpignen, and adding that, as for Luxembourg, he
was freshly informed that Orleans had been twice repulsed from Ivoy,
and had there, lost 10 or 12 of the chief lords of his company, and was
likely to raise the siege, considering the strength of the place and that
there was no hope of Longueval's band joining him, which was enclosed
at the passage of the Ardaynes and hard pressed. This news Marillac
has since learnt to be false, and that Longueval, after damaging all
Brabant, without meeting with resistance, had joined Orleans, as certi-
fied both by Du Bies and by letters which several Genevoys, who are
great Imperialists, have received from Antwerp. It is indeed mentioned

654. MARILLAC to FRANCIS I. — cont.
King to speak as above. In the end, this King complained of bald treat-
ment of his subjects at seat by Normans equipped for war; which is
only ,a pretext for damaging them with his ships. They have begun
badly, and Matrillac perceives from the language used here, that they
mean to treat all the French ships of war whicK they can carpture as
pirates. Writes this more amply to the Admiral, as concerning his
charge and as requested by the English, who airei so indignant against
French subjects that, if these scatter and do not keep in troops, the
English will enfeeble Francis's sea forces, for they spare no airmed ship
that they can catch. They keep most of their ships upon the way to
Scotland to prevent Francis sending succours thither, and already they
have taken the ship which had brought the Cardinal of St. Andrew's
on pretext of having attacked one of this King's great ships, which is
as likely as if a brigantine should board a galley to take her.
From the language held to Marillac by the Council, and the order
given to every man to be ready, there is great appearance that a great
effort is intended on the side of Scotland ; for besides that the earl of
Rotelan is already gone towards Barvich with 5,000 or 6,000 men, Nor-
.folk has soon after followed him with the intention of leading thither
a greater force, so that it is said 18,000 men are drawing to> that frontier.
The lords of the Council did not refrain from saying that they had
cause to prepare since the Scots speak much evil of them, for which
they are determined to have reparation; adding that, without the
counsel and aid of France, the Scots execute nothing, nor are able to
resist them, so that they guess that Francis is in accord with the Scots.
As they have determined on war against the Scots it must lead
to war against Francis, who is not one to desert his ancient allies.
As to preparations towards this end, can add nothing to what he
has before written, save that all England is in arms. To-dav are
the musters of the men raised by the lord of Chesne in Caint,
and the King's command has been published that until the 13th
of next month all those of his Household should hold tEemselves
ready to make musters wherever commanded, and moreover that, within
that term, all the inhabitants of the country should furnish, by twos
or threes or more, an army of footmen. The governors of countries have
already made choice of those whom they will arm in the English fashion,
which is to furnish the arms to a certain number while the Kingf [fur-
nishes] the pay. The bruit continues that Chesne passes to Guynes
and the Privy Seal or Suffolk to Calais. Already have passed thither
500 or 600 light horse and 1,300 or 1,500 men. Little is said of the
journey which the Grand Esquire was to make to the French Court,
and Marillac thinks that the English will reserve such a commission
until they are quite ready. It remains to write of their great indignation
at Vendosme's demolishing of the forts around Ardres and Therouennes,
particularly of Montoire, which Marillac hears was fortified at their
expense, as they thought to use IL to the prejudice of Ardres. Great
and little speak of it in, such a way that the Burgundians themselves
could not show more grief ; and French subjects could not be more
rigorously treated than they are without having open war. The am-
bassador of Scotland yesterday promised to dine with Marillac; but he
heard that a herald of the King, his master, who was with him had been
arrested in the Court, and therefore went thither this morning, not being
himself out of the same danger.

23 Aug. 655. MARILLAC to the ADMIRAL OF FRANCE.
SLule\4i55' Is requested by this King and his ministers to write to the
(The whole .,., . , . -,••,-, •, i i <• -i •
text.) Admiral certain complaints which they have made in place of remedying
the much more just complaints which Marillac made to them. The
Admiral has already heard h^w they will not permit French ships of
war to remain in their harbours and roadsteads, meaning to guarantee
Flcffnings when they have freighted 'them, saying that the disagreement
we have with them is no reason why they should not make use of the
ships of their friends. They have since added, with as little show of
reason, another proposal, viz., that it would be well to withdraw
the French armed ships not paid by Francis, as they must live either
upon their friends or upon their enemies, with the result that English
subjects are vexed; of which they give particulars. To this Marillate
partly replied a,nd partly waited further information. They say that an
English ship, because partly laden by Spaniards, was taken and carried
to Fecan ; which is true, but, as most of the merchandise was good
prize, the ship was taken [thither] because her captor was not capable
of carrying her prize. They say also that two1 or three other English
vessels have been chased ; that Frenchmen have robbed some pool
English fishermen, and, upon pretext of seeing charter parties, so
as to find goods of enemies, the Dieppois and Normans steal money,
<fec\, as is stated to have been done by a) ship of Dyeppe sup-
posed to be that which took the Cardinal of St. Andrew's into
Scotland; but this is probably ai calumny, like other informations
which Marillac has proved false by the confession of the complainants
themselves. The English pretend that all French ships of war which
they can catch are pirates, for they are so indignant that thev think
to do God service if they can oppress a Frenchman. In fact, their ill
treatment of them is notorious, for, besides the ancient "villenyes et
injures," they publicly call the French king Turk, and jostle and beat
his subjects wherever they find them alone. When Marillac's couriers
are at Dover they must listen while the Flemings tell them that they
are waiting to take them (the couriers) as soon as they embark, and
if this is resented (s.i Von faict seniblant de s'en plaindre) everyone
present turns false accuser against them. Only yesterday were brought
prisoners five poor mariners, .apparently of the aforesaid ship of Dieppe,
which was taken on pretext of attacking the King's ships, which is
neither true nor likely. As a crowd assembled to see them, and the
prisoners asked if there was no Frenchmen who knew where Marillac
was, one merchant dared to say only that Marillac was gone to Court,
whereupon arose so great a tumult that they begran to strike and take
prisoners as traitors all the Frenchmen, and put eight of them in prison,
who are there still in irons, without knowing why, unless it were that
they chanced to be at the place. It would be too long to add other
examples as hard to hear as miserable to see. The indignation is so
great and increasing daily, that in the end this boil must burst ; but
as Marillac has been requested to write to the Admiral to forbid excesses
he begs the Admiral to certify the English ambassador that he has done
his duty in it ; and, at the same time, say that it is unreasonable to ex-
clude from their ports, or take for pirates French ships of war because
they are not paid by Francis ; and if, when taken, they produce a
licence to sail from the Admiral's deputies, they should not be treated
as pirates, as fifteen prisoners at Dover have been, and others who
have been taken since; at all events, if they have permission to sail
Marillac should be called to the process against them, so that they may
have some one to show their innocence, otherwise the English would

show themselves as suspect judges as their people are most often false
accusers. It is not neutrality to permit the Flemings to be at Dover
watching all the passages, and command the French to leave it within
24 hours as soon as they arrive; and, as for their not wishing French-
men to sojourn in their roads and ports, he who reads the extract which
Marillac sent in his last will know if by right that can be prevented.
Considering the gentleness and good justice used towards them in France
they should not treat Frenchmen with this extreme rigor. Begs the
Admiral to write to those under him to warn ships of war leaving port
to keep together, being assured that if found by this King's ships, they
will be ill treated if they are the weaker party.
Since writing this, has heard that another ship armed for war has
been taken about Anthonne (which was there by stress of weather and
not accused of wrong doing), and the crew made prisoners.

Egerton MS., Your last despatch since your return to Court was much better

given satisfaction to the Master. I am sorry I cannot give you equally
good news in return, for what there is to report from hence is not much
for our good, as I suppose you will learn from others. I pray God pre-
serve us from anything worse — at least that He will keep it for another

received otherwise than through me of " la bende de Mons. de Longueval,"
I would have mentioned it in all my despatches. Now my news from
the quarter where he is will be superfluous, for I hear he is joined

with him the whole powers of Yorkshire, the bpric. of Durham, Cumber-
land, Westmoreland and Kendall, Northumberland, Lancashire, Cheshire,
Notts., Derbyshire, Staff., Norf., Suff., with the tenants of the late earl
of Northumberland, and of the late Queen in Norfolk and Suffolk. He
shall cause a commission of lieutenancy to' be made, out of hand, giving
power to levy people in the places aforesaid, and not only defend the
realm against the Scots but invade Scotland. The commission must be

At their last meeting, Sir Robert Bowls asked him, with Angus
and Sir George Lawson,* to aid him in a journey into Scotland, at time
and place by his appointment, without enquiring more of his scheme;
promising like aid if Angus or Eure would make any journey. Where-
upon he wrote two letters, one to Eure and the other to Angus, Douglas
and Eure (copies enclosed), and they accomplished his request. As far
as yet known, he and Sir Cuthbert Ratcliff put forth their forays into
Scotland, burnt certain towns and recoiled homeward ; when the Scots
prickers, with " showttinge " and crying, pursued and overthrew them.
Bowes and his brother Richard, Sir John Witherington, marshal of this
town, John Carr, captain of Wark, John Tempaste, and John Herron of
Chipchace, are taken, with others of the garrison and countrymen to a
great number, and Sir Cuthbert Ratcliffe also. George Bowes, nephew to
Sir Robert, and the captain of Norh am, who were there, say that Riddis-
daile with Sir Cuthbert Ratcliffe's company were the first to fly, " and my
lord of Angus lighted like a noble man, with the said Sir Robert and

St. P., Hi. 40*. Have received his letters by the earl of Desmond, dated Hamp-

while beg that his pardon may be sent, for which he hag long expected.
Enclose bills for the creation of Sir Thos. Butteler as baron of Cahir,
and for the pardon of James Garnon, which the King has granted at
their suit. Thank him for his clemency to the Abp. of Dublin and
noble entertainment of Desmond. For the reformation of Laynster and
assistance of Desmond they will do their best, but explain that the lack
of monthly payment of the soldiers and repair of castles is a great hind-
rance. Send the clerk of the Ordnance to solicit munitions of war. Of
the acts transcribed hither, all that touch the King's honor or profit
were passed except (1) the bill for dividing Mith and erecting the
Annayly into ai shire; which they of Mith opposed but which, they
expect, will pass next session. (2) The bill for the continent living of
priests, which would be executed only against those under the law who
are already of far more honest living than the rest. Next session a
reasonable act shall be penned; for this, as penned after the Act of
England, is not beneficial. (3) The bill for repealing an act of last
session authorising leases that were passed by the Commissioners' war-
rant. Explain that this bill was not certified hence, as required by
Poyninges Act, that the leases were for the King's profit, and that the
statement in the bill that sundry persons have more leases than con-
venient is misleading, as there are not past one or two such persons,
and they have done the King1 long service, as the Vice-treasurer, who
has no other living than his stipend and the profit of such farms, and
has never sued for reward, " as others have done, and obtained the same.*
Wrote that Travers had gone to the aid of McGuylyn against a proud
Irishman named Ocathan. Travers has returned, having taken Ocathan's
castle on the Ban, which was an obstacle to the fishing there, and killed
more than a hundred Scots of the Out Isles for certain traitorous deeds
by them committed. Beg the King1 to remember Travers's service, who
had with him John Brereton, son to Sir Wm. Brereton, captain of 150
foot archers, who " is a grave, active young gentleman and a good con-
ductor of his men," and has done good service here. Dublin, 24 Aug.

credit. If the King would use the half of what he has often exhausted
"upon journeys commenced in other forei.'^n countries" in paying the
retinue monthly but for one year, " his Highness should then see what
should l?e done." Explain that it is scarcely possible to bring

Laynster to obey the laws immediately, but that if there were no lack
of money they would leave few inhabitants there, that would oppose the
King's laws. Remind them of the necessity of repairing castles, the cost
of which must come out !of the revenue here. Beg them to further
the sending of artillery, and to certify what has been sent from time
to time .since Skeffington was deputy, that they may bring the receivers
to account. Have sent the bill for James Gannon's pardon, and beg

As to Wallop's desire to hear about the enemies and the Clevois; the
latter were, two days ago, about Mazieres, intending to join Mons. de
Vendosme to besiege Bappalmes, which can defend itself. This night
arrived near Douay 4,000 good footmen, High Germans. Had he had
them 20 days ago, he would have asked no help against Mons. de
Vendosme. " Cest grand peine d'estro avecq peuple non aguerry." Be-
fore the war ends hopes to take from the enemies four times as much as
they have taken. Does not write back to the Imperial ambassador,

Mons. de Sassy, that he is doubtful whether ail his letters, since
L/Aubespine's return, have been received, certinesi that they have, and
the reason why he has not sooner had answer to the despatch which
L'Aubespine brought was that, at L'Aubespine's return, the King, then
in Burgundy, wished first to speak with the English } ambassador who had
come before to this town. Which he did as soon as he arrived here,

mentioned by name. Nevertheless, Duke Henry robbed and killed their
people and they appealed for help to the confederate's. It is now a
month since the war began, and, contrary to expectation, all ,Duke
Henry's country has fallen into the hands of the Protestants, including
Wolffenbutel, [-which was thought impregnable, and in which Duke
Henry had placed his two sons with 50 nobles and 400 soldiers. Duke
Henry is at Nurnberg with King Ferdinand, doubtless to ask aid of
the other confederate princes and. prelates. The Saxon and Hessian have
published the reason (described) lor this war.
The Diet makes little progress. Except King Ferdinand and Frederic
Palatine no prince is at Nurnberg. Brunswick was, but went away to
the Bavarians. The Turk, advancing with very great forces, is only
delayed by the floods. The Diet has decreed an additional 24,000 foot
for Hungary. The German army has done nothing yet. Two days ago
came news of the slaughter of some Turkish cohorts. A German baron
named Truchses lately came in post from Rome to Nurnberg, who, by
command of the Bishop of Rome, solicits in the Diet the indiction of
the Council at Trent, " hoc tranquillo tempore scilicet."
The Emperor wrote to the Diet at Nuremberg that business of Spain
and Italy, and sickness, prevented his sending aid against the Turk, but
he would keep the Turkish fleet occupied, and so distract some of their
strongth from Hungary. He promises to come to Germany in eighteen
months, to> settle disputes; and now the place and time for a Diet
at his coming is under discussion.

Frenchmen; who have 'accelerated their coming, having passed Salsas,
seizing cattle and burning certain mills, and are now at Perpignan. The
duke of Alva has provided for Perpignan, and is himself at Girona, 7
or 8 leagues off, to furnish other parts and wait for the army of Castilla.
Perpignan, besides the strength of its : castle and townsmen, holds 6,000
good fighting men and is well trenched to* " bide a very great brunt "
until the Emperor's army assemble, when, if the Frenchmen tarry, there
will be foughten a cruel battle. The declaration of war came to the
Emperor very late. Received it from Mons. de Arras, and has sent it

On Bartholomew's even, at midnight, I received your packet from

letter dated at Mouson, 23 Aug., 7 p.m., sent to- me, containing your

letters dated Tudelai, 18 Aug., iand Victoria, 21 Aug. I was glad you
had so far forth passed, and had so gently received your passport and
other things necessary, and shall not fail to execute the device contained
in your letters. The same night, Eve of Bartholomew, about 7 p.m.,
having sent to Monson to Mons. de Arras, to know the Emperor's going
to / Saragossa, and touching a declaration of war against the Emperor
by the French king, which was spoken of, I received very gentle letters
from him, with all the declaration of war in French, " noted by Mounsr.
Grandeveles hands." I send the letters and copy of the declaration, of
which I was bound in honesty to return the original, but this copy agrees
with the original, " if you can read my naughty hand in French." Un-
doubtedly there will be extreme war ; for the French, numbering 20,000,
have passed Salsas, and burnt certain mills there, "wherein I do re-
member Mr. Haynes a.nd I in a morning did break our fast,"* and
should be now besieging Perpignan. The duke of Alva has made good
provision for Perpignaii and Salsas; and there are 6,000 men in Per-
pignan besides the townsmen, who are numerous and hardy. The
Emperor daily assembles great numbers of Castilla and these parts; so
that, unless the Frenchmen recoil, there will be "cruel battle," upon
which both the French king and the Emperor seem bent. The duke of
Alva is in Girona. Since your departure the Frenchmen have made
courses in the frontiers of Navarre, Aragon and Cathalon within 10
leagues of this town, and when Alva sent to ,the governor of Bayone
(corrected in margin to Narbona) to know what they meant, he answered
that they were thieves and if taken should be punished, and " meanwhile
marched forth the (army " from Narbone towards Salsas and Perpignan.
The Emperor will go shortly to Saragosa with the Prince and the Court,
which is now small.
I trust the Emperor has so instructed Mons. de Curriere that all
shall be well. Many posts have passed towards you since your de-
parture, specially one sent, upon "this declaration and hasty coming
of the Frenchmen," to hasten Mons. de Currier, who, I trust, will do
more than Grandevele or others would agree to, " either else, declaring
but the same which already we have had, the King's Majesty to deter-
mine as shall jseem best to his great wisdom.'" Desires to be humbly
commended to the King and Council. Barbastro, vigilia Bartholomei

The captains of the garrisons of /the White Coats, Mr. Retlyfe,
vice-warden of the Middle March, with the rest of the gentlemen of
Northumberland, and John Herroun, with Tendell and Ryddisdaille,
made a raid in Scotland this St. Bartholomew's day in the morning, in
all 3,000 men. Describe leaders, &c., of two "forrays," which they
shoved forth, and which burnt sundry places and met at Hyetoun on
the Hill, betwixt Kelsoche and Jeduarte, where they had a great ground
to ride to return to the main body. Meanwhile, the Scots of the Mers
and Tavydaille and out of Kelsso with the earl of Huntly, the King's
lieutenant, who has 1,000 men of the incountry of Scotland to wait on
him, came betwixt the f orray and the bushment. Fearing for the f orray,
Bowes rode to meet them, and they came fairly riding all together to
the bushment, with the Scots hard after them and Huntly and the
footmen following. The nowt and sheep taken by the forrays were
sent away, and Tyndaille and < Ryddysdaill, seeing this, galloped out of
the host after them, whereupon Mr. Retlyfe's men began to trot, and
shortly fell to galloping, and the rest of the host brake rule and fled.
Sir Robert Bowes lighted, and a small number with him, the writers
being at the other end of the field, a good space from him. Not above
40 men lighted t with Mr. Bowes, and all the host fled save twenty,
" thait stood with us about our pensell." Kept the small number they
had together, and defended themselves with difficulty (for, of the twenty,
eight are slain or taken) and tried to stop the chase, but could not.
Have lost 70 of their company.
Sir Robert Bouys is taken " with " John Davysoune of Dennerlaw and
George Da.vysoun within Tavydaille ; Ric. Bowys in the Mers " with "
John Dyksoun of Beltschester ; John Tempest " with " a servant of the
laird of Sefuyrdis ( ?) ; John Herroun by a servant of the laird Edmes-
tounys; John Car, captain of Wark, by Richatrd Car, Lans Carr's son;
Thos. Foster of Edderstoun by Stein Davysoun, and his brother-in-
law, laird of Craisthorne. The marshal of Berwick is taken, but they
know not " to what place."
This Friday Huntly hasi commanded all the Mars and Tavydaill to
meet him at Jeduart and bring their prisoners. The King of Scots
will have 500 men in Coudygaime and 500 in Douns and Lamgtoun,
in the Mers, paid by the bishops and men of the shire. The Scots are
very wanton, and this misfortune makes1 them the prouder, but if the
King send a power to give them " ane gryt snap thay wyll be gentyll

it with our misorder. Sir Cuthbert Retlyfe is taken to Buinjeduart,

his coming to Kelso, Henry's warden of the Middle Marches, starkly
accompanied with the captains and chieftains sent to the Borders, and

splayed banners, caine into Scotland and burnt sundry towns, intending
to burn Kelso and destroy the abbey. Doubtless Henry knows how
"it has chaniced." If he minds to keep the peace, desires him to send

25 Aug. 676. FRANCIS I. to MARILLAC.
R. O. Has received his letter of the 10th inst., describing his assigna-
Kaulek, 458. ^Q^ at Hoynzors (the Emperor's ambassador having the like), and the duke
of Norfolk's declaration. Marillac replied well thereupon, and likewise
upon their complaint of the Dieppois ship, which took a Flemish heurque
laden with salt. Has .far more cause to complain of their treatment
of the poor Dieppois. They have put forward two' points, which are
not only unreasonable) and prejudicial to France, /but totally contrary
to the neutrality which they profess and to thei treaties, viz., (1) that
French ships of war may not lie upon their coast, although the treaties
expressly say that such ships may go1 and come and remain as long as
they think good, provided that they exceed not the number of 100
men of war, and (2) that Flemish ships may be safe when freighted by
the English, a thing contrary to every observance of war, and which
would enable the Flemings to hurt France with impunity, because
every Fleming would say he was freighted by the English. Marillac shall
again remonstrate to the King himself, graciously and dexterously, and
learn whether he will maintain the treaties, which Francis wishes to
observe, who would not have English subjects molested by this war but
rather care for them like his own. Understands by what Marillac
writes, and by the great preparations there for war, that the English
bear him very ill will, and will execute it when they they see their
opportunity; but does not see that for this year they can make any
descent in his realm that may do much hurt, because winter is near, and
he has two good armies in those quarters, viz., those of his son of Orleans
and his cousin of Vendosme, who will unite if requisite. Marillac shall
always report what is done, and especially if Maistre Chesnay has come
over, and with what company. It will be well also to find means, if possible,
to warn the king of Scots, Francis's son, of the preparations against him.
He will know from Du Bies the taking and rasing of Touraehan and

of past wars, which, when last in Rome, he recounted publicly to His
Holiness; but details, in order, Francis's unreasonable dealings with
him since the truce of Nice. Francis has confederated with the Turk,
fomented the religious disorder in Germany, and opposed the celebra-

from elsewhere, or the garrisons there and Rutland's company could
not continue. A great force sent without provision would consume all
the victual at Berwick and Carlisle, and Newcastle is so destitute of

tha,t, on the return of his man" sent to the Great Master, he expected
to learn more of Mons. Dorle-ance, the prince Orrenge, Mons. de Bure,

Orleans had taken Ivoyre, but his further intention was uncertain.
The Clevoiez were, within these two days, beside Mesiers, and purpose
to join Vandosme, who returns , towards Flanders to besiege Bappame.
Orrenge and De Bure have broken up their camp in Luxemburg and
march towards De Rieulx. The servant saw some ^of their horsemen

On 31 July, Desmond arrived at Waterford, whereupon St. Leger
(who was in Ossorie pacifying differences between Ormond and the lord of
Upper Ossorie) came to Kilkenny and received the King's letters from him.
He declared his noble entertainment. Intend, within ten or twelve days,
to advance towards his country to help good order there and in the towns
of Cork and Kinsale, and will then " spend a time for the perfection of
Leinster." Sends a present of hawks (specified). Does not write of
occurrants, as the Council is writing. If Irishmen's promises are to be
trusted, Oneil, Obrien, the lord of Upper Ossorie and others shall visit the
King ere long. Oneil's eldest and best son is with St. Leger for that pur-
pose, and has sent for his father to repair to Dublin.
Is ashamed so often to write for money, but affairs here are sore hindered
for lack of it. Would have been in Odonelles country and Connaught ere
this but for lack of money. The old lady of Ormonde is dead. The lord

P.S. — Since the above was written, Oneil arrived at Dublin and declared
his wish to visit the King, and how some had dissuaded him because of the

him of the merchants, to be repaid in kine; to levy which his son and
divers of the retinue are now sent. Asks whether to suffer more Irishmen
to go thither. Is the bolder to do so because the King wrote that such of
the nobility as sued for great things should be sent over. Trusts that, ere
Michaelmas, Obrien, lord FizWilliam and the baron of Upper Ossorie,
before called Magilpatrike, shall be with the King. The latter brings his

St. P. in. ^ *heir arrival at the lord of Upper Ossorie's house, to which they

claring his wish to go to the King. His going would have a good effect
on other Irishmen, as the King's entertainment of Desmond has. Wrote
before, advising the establishment of a1, council of learned men about
Limerick and Waterford. Explain, at length, how this can be done
without charge to the King, by appointing to it those who have
fees out of the liberty of Wexford and by the resumption of the
charter of the city of Waterford, for \\rhich, as Parliament begins
shortly after Michaelmas, they* send am act of Parliament, to be
returned under the Great Seal with the King's letter addressed
to the whole Parliament to pass it. The reason that no others of
the Council are privy to this letter is lest they of Waterford should hear
of it and make suit to the contrary, " for they give here so Targe fees that
they be greatly favoured."
Give a scheme for the establishment of a resident Council at Dublin, by
utilising the Cathedral church of Christchurch, which is unnecessary, as
there is the other well endowed Cathedral of St. Patrick's. Have stayed
delivering the King's grant to the late prior and canons of Christchurch to

former, and Oneill, Odonyll and others of the nobility there of the

latter. (2) The captains retained here should be stationed at
Knockfergus or Wolderflitt, Alloon in Westmeath, Wiklow and Ark-
low. Arklow should be had, in exchange, from Ormond; and, with a
captain there, most of Leinster, " being the gall of this land," would be
reformed. (3) The bps. of Dublin and Meath and such as favour the
Gospel should instruct the Irish bishops and cause them to renounce
Popish doctrine. (4) The pardoning of felonies for fines, and other enor-
mities used here among the Irish, make the King's laws sound strange.
It should therefore be ordered that all unlawful customs be abolished,
and the "moderation" of the King's laws referred to the Deputy
and Council. (5) ReligioU^ houses under j Onejdl, Odonyll and
other Irish lords should be suppressed and suits to Rome prohibited,
and search made at Olderflitt or Knockfergus to enforce this. (6)
zrish Scots, calldd " Redshankes," daily come into the north of 'Ire-
land and purchase castles and peels on the sea coast. They shouH
be expelled from the country, "the rather because they greatly
covet to populate the same, being1 most vile in their living of any nation
next Irishmen." (7) The captain at Knockfergus or Wolderflytt should
have a bark to keep the seas and prevent the coming in of Scots. Signed :

appoint a provost marshal. With the advice of the Treasurer and Sur-
veyor chose Mr. Awdeley, who said he would gladly do any service to which
he was appointed1, but thought himself unmeet for that room, " being of
his own nature too pitiful." Thinks he would accept it if the King were
to write to him to do so, and he would here gain experience to execute the
room for a greater number, even a camp of 10,000 ; but his living should
be somewhat augmented.
Encloses a letter received this dav from Mons. de Torsy (contents re-
capitulated). The malefactors who lately misused themselves within the
King's pale deserved greater punishment. Asks how to use Frenchmen
or Burgundians'who take each other, or their cattle, within the King's pale.
Last week took 10 or 12 Burgundians, who had taken certain Frenchmen
and their cattle, which Wallop caused to be restored, but did not punish
the men. Their guide was an Englishman, who is detained in prison here,
although he has long served in their wars and was a soldier in Tourneham
when it was given up, against his opinion. He is "a right ta'll personage

StBp°ix Wrote on the 9th inst. A strange case has since been dis-
' 135. covered1, of execrable prodition, by two secretaries of the Signory and
Augustin Labondy, sometime factor for Cesare Fregosa; who, corrupted
by the French king, have been long disclosing all the state secrets to the
Frenchmen and Turks, who thus knew the Venetian ambassador's secret
commission to give Napoli and Malversia to the Turk,* but with extreme
contention. The Turk then was so greedy of peaoe that those fortresses
need not have been given if the Turk had not known from Rincon, the
French orator, the Venetians' deliberation ; and the delivery of them has
cost the Venetians such loss and dishonour that their indignation can be
imagined. The French are now incredibly destestable here, being called
dogs and proditors of Christendom and monsters. Of the secretaries, who
are cousins named Cavaza, one is fled disguised as a friar, the other
is taken. Labondi fled to the French ambassador's house, the 19th
inst., where the! officers of the Signory sent to demand ham were re-
sisted and hurt'. The Signory besieged the house all that night,
and next day, upon their threat to burn it, the French orator delivered
them Labondi, who is put to extreme torments to discover his ad-
herents, he knowing all the corrupted men here, and being payer
for such practices. The secretary confessed all he knew without
torment.. Describes how the ambassador's house was beset for three
days, and also the honour paid to the accuser. These things came to
light by the diligence of Loigi Badoar, who concluded the peace with the
Turk, and, being suspected of using fraud in his legacy, was imprisoned
shortly after his return from Constantinople. He has now cleared himself.
The Stroci who were settled here are commanded to avoid the Dominion,
being in public hate, both for the taking of Maran and the French faction
which they follow.
Letters from Constantinople, of 26 July, give variable news, the French
affirming that the Turk's navy of 120 galleys, 80 of which are to serve the
French, shall issue about the 12th or 15th inst.; and the Venetians con-
cluding that it will not issue this year, which is more probable, as the season
is too far past for galleys. A bassa with many horses is at Sophia, not far
from the Drava, to succour Buda. if necessary. The Christian host which
goes to Buda is flourishing and confident. Ferdinando is denied the
money he demanded at Noremberg, he being esteemed an evil husband in
money matters. The duke of Pranswike is fled to Noremberg with three
horses, leaving the Landgrave victorious ; who will afterwards convert his
host of 40,000 men to Buda, or else to Flanders, in the Emperor's favour.
The Marquis of Guasto intends to take the field with 10,000 Almains and

Has just received his letter in cipher of the 16th. Since
L'Aubespine's return ha® received his letters of the 1st, 5th, and 10th ;
and delayed replying to him upon I/Aubespine's coming, because desirous
of speaking first with the English ambassador, who had gone before to
Lyons, as Marillac would see by the reply sent on the 10th, with a
letter to the King of England, of -which a copy is enclosed in case the
despatch has not come to his hands, which was entrusted to the English
ambassador. Has since sent another despatch on the 25th (copy en-
closed). Has, by his last cipher, seen how part of the army by sea
there had left, equipped for war, to convoy the wool fleet which goes
every year to Calais. As such a,n equipage could not be for that alone,
Marillac 'shall learn what has become of it ; and also if the rest of the
equipage has gone towards Scotland with the men and provisions of
war of which he writes. He shall likewise watch where the men of war
who are levied march ; and, if possible, advertise the King of Scotland
of everything. Notes what he writes of the lord Privy Seal and milord
de Chesney coming hither. He shall write "ce qui en sera;" and,
above all, give continual advice to Vendosme and Du Biez, to take
order on the frontier of Picardy. "Will not fail to do as Marillac writes.

Besides what Chapuys will see bv preceding letters, the king of
France has been so shameless as to publish war against him, since the
10th ult., in worse terms than could be used against pagans, and has
already invaded Roussillon and laid a siege, which the Emperor hopes
will get him as little profit as his past enterprises. Received letters
yesterday from his ambassador at Rome, stating that the Pope was
despatching Cardinal Contareno> to him and Card. Sadolet to France, to
persuade peace; and is sending both to Rome and ContarenO', to stop
his coming, ae he will not be received. This proves that the French
king on the one side " fait le brave " and on the other seeks to resume
the practice of the peace. Chaipuyg may declare this to the King of
England as seems best; and shaill forward the Emperor's letters to the
Queen of Hungary if the courier comes to him, who is charged to go

R- °- This morning is advertised that Mons, de Vandosme, Mons. de
Guyse and the marshal de Beez are at St. Quyntynes. Mons. de Guyse
brought with him the lanceknights that were with Mons. Dorleance and
the Clevoiez that came from Antwerp, conducted by Mons. Longvalle, who
is also there. Lanceknights and Clevoiez together number 14,000, and
1,400 horsemen. The adventurers and legioners that were with Vandosme
are all discharged. Those of Mons. de Kerkey's band, who should have
come to Arde, are appointed to Heading. The horsemen with Vandosme,
besides the said Clevoiez, are but 200 men of arms. Cannot learn their
intention, but yesterday sent one to the Clevoiez to know it. Learns, by
him that brought these news, that Mons. Dorleance is retired ; and the
bailly of Guisnes, at his late being at Arde, brought like report (enclosed).
Will, to-morrow, send a gentleman to the Great Master with a present
of a gelding, to entertain the amity and learn how his camp is reinforced.
Apparently, he " daily reinf orceth ; for all these frontiers of Picardy and

Being at Arde this Monday, 28 Aug., a friend showed me that Mons. de
Focquelsolles was at Terrewyn with 30 men of arms of Mons. de Bies' band ;
and that Mons, de Vandome re-assembles his camp, to which Captain
Longavall and many Clevoys, lanceknights, and Danes are appointed. The
Danes are 600 horsemen, who carry haccabuts at the arson of their saddles,
swords on the one side and daggers on the other, and, in their hands,
weapons like boar spears, such as the French call es.pues. The band of the
duke of Orleans is bestowed in garrisons at Yvoye, Tienville in Lewsen-
bourghe and other frontier fortresses there. There shall shortly come to
Arde 30 men of arms of Mons. de Kerkee's band to join the 50 of Mons. de
Torsee's now there. A weak place by the lower gate shall be im-

Yesterday, in riding hither, studied how to provide for this journey
to which the King has appointed him, and, fearing most the lack of drink,
has thought best to cause every lord and gentleman that shall have the
rule of 100 men to bring two carts full of empty " foystes" to be filled with
beer. These would carry sufficient to bring them to Edinburgh and serve
to fortify the camp at night. Thinks 300 or 400 tuns of beer should be
sent from London to Berwick in small vessels of 60 tons; and will cause
the town of Newcastle to brew as much as they can. A letter should be
sent to Sir Geo. Lawson to know what he can brew and to grind all malt and
wheat and certify what brewers, bakers and other necessaries he wants.
When this bearer J has delivered the money to Mr. Haryngton, he might
deliver out the victuals he receives of Sir George Lawson and receive the
money for them. Chesworth, Friday.

R' Ot Refer Oneyle to the King's own ordering, as he is repairing thither.
As no Oneyle before him has repaired to England, " but hitherto usurped
to call themselves princes of Ulster as adversaries to your regally and
monarchic," and, as he goes in spite of the bruit that there is open war
with France and Scotland and that the King of Scots would send an army
to invade Ireland, they beg the King " so to entertain this savage person,
which nevertheless is reputed amongst Irishmen for the greatest of estima-
tion and power, that both the same may be winning of him for ever and
a spectacle to others to know your Highness to be their King and sovereign
lord." Also to create him earl of Tyrone, where he and his sept have rule,
and grant him, and such one of his sons as he shall name, the lands he
possesses in Tyrone. If he desire other lands or the rule of Irishmen now
at the King's peace, it should be deferred. The chronicles do not show-
that King Richard II., being here in person with 20,000 men, constrained
more notable Irishmen to submit to him than shall now resort into England

Received his letters of 29th ult., with those of John Carre, of Wark.
The King intends to remove Carre from Wark and plant therein the bearer,
Robt. Raymond, a man of good experience and discretion in keeping a
fortress. Rutland shall keep this secret ; but send for Carre and tell him
that, as he is a prisoner and bound to make his entry at the day appointed,
the King thinks him no meet man to have charge of a fortress, but, to show
that the King is his good lord, he shall have his 50 men, which Rutland
granted him, to lie at some other place on the Borders which Rutland shall
name. He shall then send Raymond to Wark, with as many inland men
as shall seem meet, and cause Carre, without going thither himself, to send
for his 50 men from thence. Bearer was despatched in such haste that he
has only two servants with him. Ten more follow, who will not arrive
before the 10th inst. He is to be furnished with victuals and munition.
If the castle is already besieged he must be conveyed into it, if that can be
done without extreme peril. Gives further directions in that case to
assemble the men of the Bishoprio, the earls of Westmoreland and Cumber-
land and1 Sir Thos. Wharton, and make a demonstration against the Scots,
or attack them ; but adventure nothing rashly. Remember the King's
device for the fords. Bearer is paid for coats and conduct of himself and

VI. it., No. went twice to Court. Did not see the King the first time, as he
excused himself, being busy about the Scotch war, but said he would send
another army for the defence of the Low Countries as soon as an answer
came from Spain ; for which, he said, he would have to employ all his men
and spend much money ; but if the news was true that both Orleans and
Vendome had retreated there was no longer need. The second time, they
spoke only with the Council, who repeating their master's excuses, asked,
in case of his consenting to help, what money and men we wanted, and
when, and whether we had power to treat of reciprocity. We answered,
as to the last point, no, and that the rest lay at the King's pleasure.
They said that they would speak again with the King thereupon and
let us know his will; which, Chapuys presumes, if nothing else occurs,
will be to give money, and permit some gentlemen, who, he knows, will
choose our side to take what part they will, so as to pretend neutrality.

Is the more persuaded of this because he has resolved to send the lord
Privy Seal with Norfolk and other lords towards Scotland, to make a
great effort, sparing nothing, not only to repulse the enemies but also
to follow them as far and as fiercely as possible. If unable this year,
which is also too far advanced, to send an army over (de par deld), as a
substitute, he would risk condescending to the above. London, 2 Sept.

2 Sept. 729. MARILLAC to FRANCIS I.
Kaulek, 459. This great war preparation continuing as heretofore, news came that
(The whole tne two ior(is of Douglas banished from Scotland, who went North with men
to guard the English frontier and revenge hurts done by the Soots, meaning
to provoke and hght their enemies, have been surprised by ambuscades and
lost 700 or 800 dead and many prisoners, of whom Marillao knew some, who
are the most notable captains of the North. The rest were put to flight,
and many of them wounded, including the said lords of Douglas, the
younger of whom is in danger of his life. Those here are so grieved and
indignant that they have immediately despatched Norfolk, who lately
returned to Court thinking that these Northern affairs should have turned
out better for them; and there is no longer room for doubt that there will
be war against the Scots, Norfolk saying publicly that he will sort them
and make them talk more softly (qu'it les rengera et fera bien parler plus
doulx). His son the earl of Sure, lately released from prison, and Milord
Guillem, who is out of the Tower, with a great troop of other gentlemen,
accompany him ; and every day increases the number of men enrolled, who
will make a camp of 30,000 men. The ships of war which have left go
towards Scotland to carry artillery, munitions and men, and to hinder
succour coming to the Soots. The ambassador of the King of Scotland is
still here, receiving variable treatment, for, whereas at the beginning he
looked hourly to be made prisoner and afterwards " on 1'a ung temps
caressie a Lengeryse,"* giving him permission to kill bucks in parks, now
if they axe friendly; to him in the morning they show him distrust in
the afternoon.
With regard to France things are not so near execution, but there is
scarcely less doubt; for, besides the crossing of as many men as Calais,
Guynes and their other places can hold, with artillery and munitions in
incredible quantity, and harness and arms to furnish a great camp, they
make musters everywhere, so that they can put at the gates of Francis's
frontier towns a very great number of men in few days, and at all times.
The bruit continues that the lord Privy Seal will cross the sea and remain
at Calais, and the lord of Chesne at Guynes. The Emperor's ambassador is
almost daily with them in Council. Knows that the English have
despatched a man to employ 50,000 cr. in Flanders on war material (en
garnison de guerre), and another to Spain to bring thence 10,000 pikes.
The war preparation (Testat de la guerre) is made, and it only remains to
execute the design ; and if not for this year, as the season is far advanced,
it will be for the spring ; still, there is no assurance that the English will
wait till then, for everything is ready and there are many indications that
execution will not be delayed. The English ships do not go to Bourdeaux
for wine as they were accustomed. Flemish ships armed for war sojourn in
their ports at will ; and \vhen the English can catch those of Francis's sub-

jects they pretend that they are pirates and violators of the franchise, as
Marillac has written to the Admiral. Has daily new complaints, and when
he remonstrates is paid with dissimulations or old complaints. All who
have seen the beginning of wars say that appearances are the same as they
have seen here on the eve of a rupture, viz ., the seizing ships of war which
arrive in their ports so as to diminish the forces of him whom already in
their heart they have declared enemy. They say, indeed, that in the course
of things they will not be able to do less, as Francis is not [one] to desert
the Scots, who, they think, move only at his instigation, nor can last long
against them without his aid, but that then it will be the more easy to hurt
Francis, who will be already wearied and his finances wasted, whilst they
will be fresh and furnished with everything needful to sustain a long
war. The rest of the King's ships which have not yet departed from
this river, with some others of his subjects' which are equipped and ready,
will leave at the first weather, either to go upon the coasts, as haa
always been said, or to go into Spain ; as it is now bruited that it is to
bring the Emperor hither, which is a difficult thing to believe, as the
Emperor ought to be sufficiently occupied where he is.

This day, in coming hither, spoke with Sir Geo. Somerset, Sir Wm.

tnere are many able men, but very little harness or bows and arrows; and
the gentlemen of Norfolk, whom he had summoned to meet him here, say
the same for Norfolk. They complain that where harness is to be sold it
is holden at 18s. or 20s. an Almain rivet; wherefore please send me like
proclamation as was devised for harness and artillery for London. Never
"saw men so universally angry with enemies as they be with Scots."
Encloses bill of provision made by Waiters and Wodehouse. Wheat is risen

cause biscuit to be made of rye and barley ; and thinks biscuit should be

not in these parts get 100 good geldings besides his household, but will try
and get them elsewhere.

746. CHAPUYS to the QUEEN or HUNGARY.
This courier has waited in the hope of letters coming from Spain, or
else of this King giving a resolute answer to Fallaix's demand of aid —
which answer was to be given by to-day. But, as there is no certainty
of either, he and Fallaix have thought best to send him back, as the
Queen may be awaiting his return before sending Fallaiix's despatch for
Spain, and writing the news of Flanders, the relation of which would
have given opportunity to renew the matter and learn the King's resolu-
tion, which Chap-uys thinks he is delaying till he hear news from Spain.
Indeed, he is much annoyed at the answer from Spain not coming; as
he said to Chapuys and Fallaix that it would be great folly for him to
send away his money and make enemies1 of his friends without knowing
first on what terms he stood with the Emperor. Yet, after assurances
of the Emperor's good will, he did not rest so much on this1 excuse as
on the other two mentioned in Chapuys's letter, especially the retreat of
the French, of which he might have been enlightened had letters come
from the Queen. Thought when he last wrote that there was some
appearance of his helping, but is not sure now. Fallaix, however, will
report more fully by word of mouth.
In reply to her letter of the 17th ult., first, there is no means of treating
with these people in accordance with the Emperor's answer, of which she
sent an extract, for, as he wrote before, they ask other things. 2. Is
glad to say the surrender of Tourneham, La Montoire, and Yvoix has
not cooled them, but rather incensed them further against the French.
3. Powers have already been sent to the captain of Guisnes as mentioned
in his last despatch but one ; but that is to no purpose, since Vendome
has retreated, as the King told us, adding that he had already made a
letter to be written to tbe Duke, if he had not retreated, in order that
the plan concerted between Mons. du Reulx and the captain might be
more honorably executed.
34 HEMtY VIII.
1542.
746. CHAPUYS to the QUEEN OF HUNGAEY — cont.
As to the bruit of ships, French and Easterlings, of which she wrote,
this King says there are none, nor any appearance of their conning,
for in Denmark the Duke of Holstein has only seven wretched
ships, and the French have no wish to play upom the coasts
of Zealand and Holland, for they know what a number of ships
he has out, which have already taken many Frenchmen and favour
those of Flanders. In truth they have roughly treated the French
ships, and give them daily alarms, in so much that the French
have restored some English goods which they took, and promise restitu-
tion of the rest, and the English have in return released " quelque
ba&teau."
Hears that four or five days ago the King dismissed rudely enough the
Scotch ambassador ; who, however, having met on the road a herald of the
King, his master, has returned to solicit, if possible, a safe conduct for a
great embassy he proposes to send to York to treat with Norfolk and others
for a peace, of which there seems very small chance, considering the greatt
preparations here by land and sea. Whatever may come of this war
lord William will lose nothing by it, for he has been released from the
Tower to go with his brother the Duke, who has ailso with him his son
the earl of Surrey.
If Chapuys had not excused thajt odious title of bel oncle* in the address
of the Queen's letter he would have had a very curt answer. Ursres that
it be not used in future, as agreed when ha was last at Mons. London,

and all Ostrege, to whom (and not to Hans Hongganode, whose authority
extends no further than the oamp) he wrote the letter of which he enclosed
* See No. 363 (p. 218).
34 HENRY VIII. 413
1542.
a copy in his of 8 Aug. Felce said Robt. Bramstone had been put in
trouble by Mr. Wyett in France, and delivered upon the Emperor's letters
to the French king ; and he would be loth to put them* in trouble, and
then ha,ve them delivered by such means, and had written to the Kins:.
Answered that, at that time, the French king would have released all
his own traitors at the Emperor's request; for he hoped then to get
Milan, for which he would give his soul.
The King arrived here 31 Aug., at 1 aim. ; but, as Hungganode and
other captains had come to speak with him, the writer deferred going
to Court until the morrow, when he declared how he had heard of the
traitors, wha,t he had done:, and how he thought Henry would take it
thankfully if they were delivered to him. The King replied that it was
the first he had heard of the matter ; he was not bound by treaty, and
when he asked aid against the Turk, Henry gave none ; but he . would
enquire of their offences and make answer. Waited four days for the
answer, and then went yesterday to the Kinsr and told him that, although
he knew nothing of hig having demanded aid against the Turk, he knew
that, for three years past until this summer, it was bruited among the
common people that the French king and the Kine of Scots would make
war upon his master, and the Emperor would aid the French king ; and
therefore if he (Ferdinand) demanded aid during that period it was no
wonder it was refused, as it was, with less excuse, by the Kings of France,
Denmark, Sweden, Scotland, and Poland and the Venetians. He
answered that he meant not to stav the Englishmen for that cause, but
because his country was free to all men ; and, as for the princes Sey-
mour mentioned, they" were not to be compared to the King, who was
the puissantest prince in Christendom, and the conquests he had made
were " not unknown." Replied that his wars were but now begun, and
if he delivered these men the King would, doubtless, in return, grant
anything reasonable. He said his wars were not new, but 20 years old,
during which time he had both written and' sent ambassadors to the
Kins', and never got any aid ; one of the men wals the Emperor's servant,
and both came to serve him. Answered that if one was the Emperor's
servant the other was a spy, who had confessed to having; served the
Turk as ambassador. He said that if the man was a spy he should be
punished, but his country was1 free to all men.
It is thought in the Camp that the King has not sped well at Noren-
berge, because the proceedings are kept secret. The Hungarian army,
of 15,000 light horse, is at Stregonne. The bishop of Warden, " who is
the monk that kept Boda," has sent his chief man, Bastian Urban, to
offer that, if the King will come to Boda in person, the Bishop will
accompany him with 8,000 horse, but if not neither he nor the 15,000
at Stregonne will advance; and the Almains will not go without the
Hungarians. It is not certain whether he will go, for he mistrusts the
Hungarians. Twenty boats trimmed for war tarry his going down, which
shall not be this 15 days. Within this se'nnight are here embarked.
in great ferry boats, 50 " cortolleg, cannones and dobell cannones, with
powder stonne and whelles for them ; " and 20 more battery pieces are
at Stregonne and Gommor. They will wait till the year is too far spent
for the Turk to rescue Buda ; for which, an unlikely report is, the Turk
is sending two bassas and 100,000 men. Vienna, 5 Sept.

pair of harness at Sheryhoton (sic) and Pomfret. If he might receive
that, he would take as many men above his number; for much harness
was lost with Bowes, and these men are as much to be trusted as any
others. Would know the King's pleasure soon, for on Friday he delivers
coats and conduct money. If they are as well furnished with victuals
as with eood will of men, the King's money shall be well bestowed. Sir

the ships lately come out of Iceland have not yet unloaded their fish
and the rest stink so that no man not used to the same can endure it.
Begs therefore (though he wrote otherwise yesterday) not to be charged
with more men. Two wise fellows of South wold, who were taken by a
Scottish ship to the Lithe beside Edenboroughe, are come home upon
pledge to pay ransom if it turn to war. They say that on Saturday
was sevennis^ht the Danske ships were not come. Has sent to
the King's ships a tall, lusty young man, who knows the Firth well, to
go aboard the Less Gallion, if she be come forth, and give advice. Per-
ceives that the1 Scots would be loath to have war and that, upon the
report of Norfolk's coming down and the King's sending out of ships,
their ships are countermanded to Queensferry. "Sir John Jenny, as
good a knight as ever spurred a cow, afrid so well beloved that he can get
few able men to serve the King, hath offered me x li. to find men for
him, which I have taken ; desiring your Lordships to cause as. many
bottles of leather to be bought as will extend to that sum, and to be
sent to me with such ships as shall come next, arid I shall pay for them."
Fears lack of nothing but beer. " Good my lord Admiral," hasten the
ships of war northward, for pity it were the Scottish fleet of Danske
should escape. Kennynghall Lodge, 7 Sept.
In his own hand. — If it be true that James Douglas of Park Hedge,

fears he has promised largely on Angus's behalf, with whom no man was

Doubts not they are in the same predicament as himself to see
this journey, to which they are appointed, well furnished. Fears most
lack of drink. No doubt 500 tun of beer will be sent after their coming
to Edinborow, but enough will not be brewed at Berwick to bring them
there. The remedy is to convey it in small crayers from London. Prays
them to despatch 500 or 600 tun before they leave, and trusts the good
Admiral will not be too scrupulous to let so many foists pass that way.
Hopes the King's ships now in the North will meet the Scots coming
from Danske, but the ships of war now in the Thames should hasten
to join the others. Will meet them on the day appointed at York,
where he thinks the Scots will spare no fair offers for peace. Six or
eight boats of Rie could do good service, as the lord Privy Seal knows.

St. P.,' ix.' 145* Within two days after Paget last wrote, on the 12th ult.,* the
French king left Lyons with the ladies of his privy bated, for Narbona,
passing by Avignon, Aries and Aigues Mortes, without tarrying, save
one day at Avignon, to taunt the Bishop of Rome's vice-legate for re-
sisting his command to apprehend certain rich Maransf there, who are
now apprehended. On the 26th he arrived at Besyers and Paget at this
town. Meanwhile the Dolphin lay at Narbona,, and Danebault, with
the main army, at the foot of the mountain adjoining Saulsee. Brysack
and Montpesac were gone over the mountain to stop the passage on the
other side. Describes how they have made a passage round Saulses,
and are now drawing in on Perpignan, and gives numbers of their
artillery and men. There are victuals enough for men, but great scarcity
for horses between Tholouse, Perpignan and Pont St. Esprit, although
they have down the Sone and Rhone all that cam be had out of Bourgoyn.
The French king would borrow 100,000 crs. of the duke of Ferrara ; but
is not like to obtain it, for he owes 100,000 crs.., borrowed since his
deliverance out of Spain, of this Duke's father, on whose death he re-
took posses.sio?i of the towns in Brittany assigned for payment thereof.
Wrote that the merchants' strangers at Lyons were entreated by Cardinal
,f Turn on to pay, for the despatch of Blainchefosse and Delagrise, part of
the money they* were to lend at the end of the fair. It was paid in
broken and bad gold and none refused. Money comes hither daily, but
store of old there seems none; and yet this Kins: willed the Venetian
ambassador to write that he would have here 40,000 foot, and Orleans
should have few less, and could continue the war for ten years. He
practises with the Venetians, who seek a breach with the Emperor ; and
two days ago their ambassador learnt that Paulus Lusast, the best
warrior of all Italy, captain of the Emperor's light horse, had plotted
to take their town of Verona. This Kin^ is not like to have so much
outward aid this year as was said, for the Grand Signer neither sends
so many by sea., nor comes himself. Saw letters from Venice, of 30
July, mentioning that the Turk's gralleys were at Constantinople not
ready. Chevalier Daux is returned, and says he left in Lipera 150 sail
and has brought a ship full of g-old. Blancfosse has much ado to levy
Swiss, and it is feared that he will come ag-aiin without, and is therefore
bruited that the 8,000 lansknects and 8,000 Swiss, who were sent for
will gfo to Mons. Dorleauns, against De Bure, who is advancing with
20,000 foot. Dorleauns' victory in Luxembourg1 has given those here
great courage. Never saw braver gentlemen. They said they had won
Perpignan when no ordnance was yet near it ; for on the 28th ult. the
Admiral sent word that they had brought but eight battery pieces with-
in 100 paces of the ditch, and the next night as many. Had they been

as friendly as they promised at Lyons, he might have had leave to paint
a plat of the town (Perpignan) and camp himself ; but he has got a half
hearted permission to send Hammes, and has, besides, some in the camp
who will inform him of all. Describes the town (which is about the
size of Northampton) by hearsay, and the strength and boldness of the
garrison. The passage called the Pertuse through the Pyrenees into
Spain is kept by Frenchman.
The Emperor lies between the Pyrenees and Barcelona, without men
or money. He is stronger by sea than we, but the Count of Anguillara
is lately revolted from him and come to Marseilles to serve. He is a
subject of the Bishop of Rome, and father-in-law to Signer John Paulo.
In his pflace you shall hear shortly that Conte Petilyan is revolted to
the Emperor. Mons, de Grunean has levied 2,000 foot in Provence,
to defend Burgo Bressa, or, as some think, rather to come hither if we
cannot get so many Swiss as we looked for. The Emperor will rescue
Perpignan if need be ; for, besides the Italians and Almains who (Paget
wrote) were coming, he has sent for all his Spaniards who were in
Cicill, Naples and Sardinia to defend the Turk, who were bruited to be
7,000, but are 5,000, and were embarking ait Genes on the 25th ult.
La>n?ey has by stealth taken Cherasa near Turin.
The prior of Capes has returned from the sea, and is at Court, having
token two Spanish ships; like as the Normans took eight or nine
Flemings in English seas, but the English rescued them and imprisoned
the Frenchmen, whereof both the French ambassador and Vicomte of
Dieppe have written. Paget's clerk saw the Vicomte's letter, which
mentioned two ships, and that the officers of Dover said they would
not see the Flemings take wrong at the Frenchmen's handa. This has.
augmented their opinion of war at Henry's, hands, which, by Secretary
Bayard's report, the King no longer doubts.; and has therefore
ordered Vendosme to disperse his bands into garrison again, and looks
daily (as the Admiral has sent word) for Henry's Grand Escuyer and
another of his Council to move the French Icing to peace with the
Emperor and require the pension; and this suspicion is increased by
a letter from Rome which states (Italian words given) that an agreement
between the king of England and the Pope is expected, together with a
marriage between that King and the Emperor. Paget denies all know-
ledge of this, and says Henry will make no war with anyone without
occasion given. Here they say the Scots will "occupy" Henry, and
hafve already burnt villages and towns on the Borders, and therefore
Anguishe is sent thither. They say the coming or not coming of Henry's,
fleet to Bordeaux this year will show his intention. Begs him not to
trust them, for they trust him never a whit.
The Bp. of Rome sends Card. Sadolete to this King, and Card.
Contarini to the Emperor to perusade them to peace. If this King
obtain hisi purpose at Perpignan, he will go no further this year, but
pass by Bordeaux to Brittany to set things in order, having "already
permitted the old use of their salt." Secretary Villandre is dead, and
Laubespyny has his office.
Had written thus far when news caine that, on Sunday last, after three
days' shooting at the castle (of Perpignaii) had failed to make a breach,
they were consulting whether to batter the bulwark of St. Lazare, and
Signor John Paulo and his Italians were delivering1 over the ordnance to
Brysac and 2,000 Frenchmen, when those within the town made a
sortie, and would have drawn all the ordnance into the castle ditches
but for Brysac's bravery. Brysac was wounded in two plaices, 400 of
his men slain, 5 great pieces "clowed" and three dismounted, before

9 Sept. 759; CHAPUYS to CHARLES V.
Has received from the Queen Regent an extract from his letters
to her of 15 July, containing his intention! upon two points of the
treaty of closer friendship. The Queen thought thait upon that foundar
tion Chapuys could pass to the conclusion of the treaty, or at least give
this King sure hope that his ambassadors would have such answer as
he desired, and so induce him to aid the Low Countries ; and she wrote
letters of credence for Toison d'Or, this bearer, and Chapuys to that effect.
They have used infinite persuasions twice to the King and thrice to the
Council. On the first occasion the King made three excuses, (1) that
he was constrained to war aigainist the Scots, who had made several raids,
killing many men and burning tiie country, and lately had taken two
of his principal captains prisoners, and killed many gentlemen and others,
and if the Emperor approved the proposal of Du Roeulx, he would need
all his men, and a great sum of money, which he would have to draw
from his own coffers, for so far there was no question of his subjects
contributing, as the Emperor's did, who bore the whole cost of the war ;
(2) he heard that Vendosme had retired and disbanded his1 men, and
that Orleans intended doing the same, so that there would be no need
of his aid; (3) he did not know how he stood with the Emperor, and
could only presume that the Emperor had no great desire to respond
to his goodwill, since he had no news from his ambassadors, and it would
be folly to throw away his money and make enemies of his friends without
knowing why. However, he had decided, while Vandome was about
Arthois and Low Flanders, to risk some declaration and enterprise against
the French, and had made Chapuys write toi the Queen to empower Du
Roeulx to treat with his captain of Guisnes on matters of importance to' the
Emperor's countries and his own, but thait power had either not been
given or had come too late.

Upon our reply, the King resolved to consult his Council before
deciding. Two days after, the Council asked Toison d'Or and me what
money and what number of men we asked for, and whether we had
powers to treat of the recompense. We replied that we had no such
powers, and that the remainder rested with the King. On this the
Council said that they would report to the King and let. us know his
intention, but no message has come from them. Toison d'Or coming the
other day to take his leave to go to your Majesty, as the Queen com-
manded him, the King spoke to the same effect as before, adding that
if we had power to treat of the recompense or pressed for aid under the
treaty of Cambray, he would make ai suitable answer. He then blamed
the Emperor for neglecting the defence of the Low Countries, and said
if he had listened to the bp. of Winchester the subsequent inconveniences
might have been remedied ; but the Emperor would scarcely hear him,
and. had delayed the affair ten months without sho<wing any sign of de-
siring his amity. Chapuys was constrained to point out that Winchester
had no power to treat, and himself proposed the said term, and you had,
within the time, sent ample power, and if he would have observed an
honorable and friendly equality, Chapuys would have concluded the
affair without crossing into Flanders, from whence he brought answer
to all that was asked, but afterwards the King's deputies asked ex-
orbitant things, which might have beeni omitteid by one desirous of
concluding the said amity, so necessary for both sides. As to the impu-
tation that the Emperor had not provided for the defence of the Low
Countries/ it was because he could not believe that a King of France,
while the enterprise) against the Turk was being treated, might so far
forget his honor as to move war and contravene his oath to the
truce, especially when he always affirmed, even until two days before
he commenced the war, that he would observe the truce. The Emperor
was not put to sleep, as he hinted, upon hope of treating with tKe French,
and even if his Holiness did meddle therein), atei he said, and Mons. de
Marvol had returned into France, as the French ambassador told him, he
had no cause to complain as he seemed to do; for the Emperor always
preferred his amity to all others, provided he would be satisfied with
reasonable conditions. It is not said that the Emperor and he might
not listen to practices, as; he did when the French practised the marriage
of the Princess; only treaties to each other's prejudice were forbidden.
And since the term of the said prohibition was expired, or nearly so,
Chapuys willingly wrote, as he commanded, for the prorogation of it,
while he himself wrote to his ambassadors with the Emperor.
On leaving the King, we were told by the Council thai although their
master had work for all his forces, he was ai prince of such honor that
he would nowise be reproached with having failed to observe any treaty
or promise, and therefore desired us to declare whether we required aid
according to the treaty of Cambray. Being answered inl the negative, they
asked for this in writing, but we avoided giving it, and persuaded them to
promise that they would renew the subject with the King, and send the
answer next day, which was yesterday, but we have no news of it.
Need not give further details, as bearer can report them, and also the
King's great! preparations both to resist the Scots and to invade their
country, though perhaps all may be stopped, as the Scotch ambassador,
who was on his way back, hafe returned to solicit an interview at York
on the/ 15th between the Duke of Norfolk and certatin other of the
King's servants, and other " grans maystree " of Scotland. Believes,
for anything he has heard of this King, that he will willingly condescend
34 HENEY VIII. 421
1542.
to some treaty, although he sees that he will perhaps never have a
better opportunity against the King of Scots, for Chapuys supposes that
the Cardinal and other Churchmen harve moved James to make war on
him, fearing lest, if they became friends, or the people were not occupied
in something, the Churchmen might be treated there as they have been
here ; and, therefore, this King hopes, by treating with James, to draw
them to his opinion and destroy the credit of those who now trouble him
(qui la mectent en ces troubles) ; moreover as he dislikes spending money
he will accept any honorable conditions.
To show that the King, in hope of the treaty, was declaring himself
somewhat against the French, this Council showed Chapuys a letter frorn
the French ambassador, complaining of the taking of three or four French
ships by Englishmen, and that while no French ship equipped for war was
allowed to remain more than four and twenty hours in any English port,
the Emperor's ships could stay as long as they pleased; moreover that
the Emperor's subjects were allowed to land and go from lodging to
lodging in Dover and Eye to see if any Frenchmen would cross, in order
to take them on ,the sea, yea, sometimes, to assault them in their own
lodgings, as had lately been done at Dover, contrary to the neutrality
which this King wished to profess, as the said French ambassador affirmed.
Believes that the English will use more moderation now that the French
have made some reparation, for damage done to Englishmen, " et soy

he made the request of ajid according and by virtue of the league of

the King, whom he knows to be ai prince of honor, would accomplish
it) his request is only that, "upon their great necessity," the King, for
the Emperor's sake and to preserve the Low Countries, would lend some
money to the lady Eegent. Asked whether he had any commission to
capitulate for repayment, he answered nay. Being told that if he sent
for one the King would give him further hearing, he said time would not
admit such delay ; but if the King would send a sum of money to Calais

himself shall not stir unless the Scots enter England. Whereas Norfolk

B. o. Wrote in his last letters, of 24 Aug. from Spires, how the Saxon
St. P., ix., and the Landgrave had subdued the duke of Brunswick's country and
taken Wolff en bo tel. The Duke's children taken there were honorably
provided for; and ambassadors were forthwith sent to the princes at
Nurnberg to justify the war. King Ferdinand and the Emperor's com-
missioners replied that they were ready to admit the excuse, but the
matter must be referred to the Emperor ; amd that all the states required
that the army should be dismissed ; which has been done, to the great
praise of the Protestants and congratulation of the bishops.
In the Diet of Nurnberg nothing worth while was done. Frederic
Palatine was the only prince there, and he left before the Diet ended.
There was great contention about sending more forces to Hungary and
about payment. King Ferdinand obtained nothing unanimously; and,
except the minor bishops, all openly opposed him, because he has not
kept his bargain with the Empire; and these disputes are deferred to

11 Sept. 770. HABILLAC to FEANCIS I.
Kaulek, 461. Since his last, of the 2nd., things here remain in the same state
as regards the marvellous preparation for war, but as regards execu-
tion, there seems some change, or else the designs are more plain; for,
whereas it was presumed that the English were on the point of making
a descent into 1'rance, under the lords of whom Marillac wrote,* that is
so cooled as to be doubtful for this year, but in respect of Scotland things
are so heated, upon further knowledge of the skirmish on St. Bartholo-
mew's Day, when 4,000 English were routed, of whom 700 or 800 were
killed, more than 2,000 taken prisoners, and the rest pursued for a long
time, at which the English are so indignant that, without any longer
dissembling their malice, they are resolved to invade Scotland by sea and
land. By sea with the King's ships heretofore equipped, and other pri-
vate ships, which they have retained, which they lade and despatch
with artillery, arms and munitions in incredible quantity, thinking
thereby to harass the enemy and take away his hope of succour from
allies. By land with two camps, which they estimate will be 100,000
men, the English holding this maxim tha,t to hurt Francis in the future
they must either overthrow or greatly enfeeble the Scots, in order that,
while occupied elsewhere, the Scots should not be able to harass them ;
and they think this season very propitious when their enemy has
had no notice nor leisure to prepare, and Francis is far away
and occupied otherwise. Norfolk has departed, accompanied, besides
his kinsmen, by the earls of Derby, Rotellain, and Combelan, and
all the great lords of the North. The lord Privy Seal, who was
said to be preparing to go to .Calais, and the Grand Esquire,
Mr. Bron, who was thought to be going to Francis, with the
most notable men of this Court, yesterday quietly took the road
for the North, to be of counsel with Norfolk.. There remain with this
Kong only his Chancellor, Admiral, the bps,. of his Council, Hoincester
and Canterbury, and Mr. Chaisne, who daily prepares to go to Guynes,
and lead thither, if need be, the troop which he mustered in Caint ; which,
with others enrolled about here who are reserved for the aid of their
lands beyond the sea, may amount to 15,000 or 20,000 men without
those already there, who may be 7,000 or 8,000, including the pioneers
who are at the work of Guynes and fortifications of Calais.
It is true that on the 18th inst. there is to be a meeting at York of
some lords of Scotland and of this country, to see if differences can be
composed by mutual reparation for excesses on the Borders; and upon
this pretext those who have gone from1 this Court gave out that they
go thither only to be a.t the meeting, to see if things can. be reduced
to a good appointment; but, by the preparations they have made
secretly, it is plain enough that they go more with the intention of dis-
playing their ensigns in war than of telling their opinions in, a friendly
council. The ambassador of Scotland left yesterday to be with those
who shall come thither on his master's part, who are the bp. of
Orquenay and the lord of Isnay ( ?) ; f and the ambassador, by the way he
spoke to Marillac at his departure, is astonished enough, for, besides
having no hope that this meeting could accord matters, the great pre-
paration he has seen, and especially of artillery and munitions, has quite
frightened him. Marillac comforted him by saying, among other things,
that Orleans was coming, with the great troop which he had ait
Luccainbourt, towards these frontiers, so that the English would have
cause to retain here part of the forces which they proposed to send to-

wards the North, and that Francis would not abandon the King, his
son, but rather let him know that his affairs were as much to him
(Francis) as his own, and such other words, to persuade him that the
English were half afraid, as Marillac presumed by the going of this lord
of the Privy Seal, whom he thought to be a personage who sought only
to live at peace, in conformity with the intention of the King his
master, who was not so sure of his subjects as to so boldly hazard all his
forces upon a single day ; which might indeed be a consideration were it
not that this people naturally hate the Scots to the death, and that
Norfolk, who is chief in these affairs, holds for war and can only, by it
maintain his authority, for in time of peace the others encroach upon
him and seek only to undo him.

charge; and, seeing that the King defers his answer so long, we do not
for this year expect great help from that side. To give it in men the
season is now too far advanced ; and we have men enough, and have sent
24,000 foot and 3,000 horse, with artillery and munitions towards Luxem-
burg, hoping soon to recover all that the French have occupied there,
besides which we have sent 12,000 foot into Haynault to join the 1,000
horse lying there, and resist any enterprises against Haynault and Artods,
for the Sieur de Vendosme is at St. Quentini, assembling men to be joined
by certain Clevois, who return from Luxemburg. You shall, therefore,
still see whether you cannot, without too much importunity, obtain some

The King, at the suit of the king of Scots, offering to send am-
bassadors to conclude the controversy between them, has appointed the
ambassadors to be at York on the 18th inst., and the " said duke, earl
and others before mentioned" commissioners to meet them there. They
shall not consume more than 11 days, from the sadd 18th day, in com-
munications, unless they see a probability that a day or two more would
bring them to a conclusion; but either conclude the peace or proceed
upon their journey. If the ambassadors are not come to York, they
shall tarry there four days, and then go forward and meet them at New-
castle or elsewhere.
They shall remind the ambassadors how kind the King has been to
their master from his tender years, who, in return, has maintained his
rebels and encroached upon his lands ; and, when the King would have
condescended to a meeting with him, there have ensued raids, slaughters,
burnings, which the King could not have so long endured but for his
34 HENRY VIII. 427
1542.
nephew's years and inexperience, and which must now have speedy
reformation. They shall then earnestly advise the ambassadors, seeing
that in spite of all this the King hearkens to their suit for peace, to
ccnf orm to the reasonable conditions they will demand, vi0. : —
1. To deliver all Englishmen now prisoners in Scotland, freely, with
horse and gear as taken:, or (if they will not frankly condescend thereto)
upon ransom. If they can induce them to grant the first, they shall
advise them to send home out of hand to have i it done, as the best means
to mollify the King. If the Scots refuse to deliver them, for ransom or
otherwise, unless they may conclude in the rest, the Commissioners shall
dilate upon the extremity of that demand, and, if they can induce them
to no conformity, break off as though they would commune no further ;
noting well the words and fashion of the Scots, "that they may the
rather smell which way they walk and what is to be hoped of them."
Afterwards they shall enter again with them to see what may be done
in the rest, and, if the Scots will agree to .ransom, agree to anything
reasonable to accelerate their deliverance. 2. Where they have put a
difference between kirkmen and others, in interpreting the last treaty
of peace, they must now bind themselves to take the treaty as it stands,
and deliver rebels, now or hereafter in Scotland, whether kirkmen or
others. 3. To suffer the English to enjoy certain ground which the
Scots have encroached upon and claim, unless they can declare a better
title than was shown at the last meeting o'f commissioners upon the
Borders. 4. To conclude that neither of them shall aid the other's
enemies; and that, in case of invasion, .they shall give mutual add
ad expensas requirentis. This amity to be preferred before any other
to the contrary. 5. To give pledges for a year or 18 months, for the
sure performance of what is agreed upon.
The commissioners shall " assay the Scots in most gentle sort " upon
the first article, and if they will not agree to reason but would pass
it over or join conditions with it, persuade them to the second article and
then the third. And in this matter of the lands, if the Scots produce
evidence they shall consider it, taking occasion to remember, as of them-
selves, what overtures have passed for an interview, between the King
and the King of Scots, and hinting that an interview, so it were shortly,
would sooner finish all these matters than many assemblies of ambas-
sadors. If the Scots hearken to thist and would agree to time and place
at the King's appointment, and therewith grant the delivery of the
prisoners with horse and gear, the commissioners shall leave the piquant
matter of rebels, &c., and commune how to bring it to pass, putting
great doubt that hostages would be necessary, for three reasons, viz.,
1. That France and other realms have done the like. 2. That sundry
promises of meetings, passed when lord Wm. Howard was ambassador
in Scotland, and when Master Ballenden was last here, took no effect.
3. That the King could n»t dissolve the great preparations he has made
unless he received pledges that all things should be established. If the
Scots agree to pledges and that some of the ambassadors shall demore
here till the pledges are delivered, the King's preparations shall be
stayed and diminished. If the Scots will neither agree to the meeting,
nor to the articles of the rebels and the lands, nor to put in pledges for
performance of covenants, the commissioners shall break off communica-
tion and proceed in their enterprise. If, from the beginning of the
conference, they perceive no likelihood of agreement, they shall still
gently entertain the ambassadors and secretly augment the garrisons on
the Borders, lest the Scots, perceiving what were toward, would enter
to give the first buffet.

778. INSTRUCTIONS for the COMMISSIONERS sent to YORK — cont.
In the matter of the meeting, if the Scots would have it desired by the
King, it may be answered that it is not convenient for one prince to
desire another into his realm, lest if any chance should happen the
world should judge worse of it than necessary, and also that it were vain
to desire him to come, since he answered by his ambassadors, the bishops
who were lately here, that he could not do so without another man's
consent ; and yet the King will not deny that he is as desirous to have
him come as his nephew is to come. If the ambassadors desire to refer
home upon some things, and their messenger do not return before the
11 days expire, the commissioners shall gently require them to draw
to Newcastle or some other place on the Borders, and there, if the
messenger return in time and they come roundly to the conditions, make
a quiet and friendly end with them, or else say that they have shown
how desirous the King was to have things friendly determined, but since
they can grow to no reasonable point with them, they will " essay whether
they can by force constrain them to justice." And so dismiss them in
good fashion and, in God's name, haste forward the enterprise.
At least 6,000 men must remain on the Borders to relieve the army
if any chance happen to it in Scotland, and to devastate the country
behind it; and with this object the duke of Suffolk is appointed to
repair to Newcastle or Alnwick as lord Warden, with whom Norfolk and
his colleagues shall consult for laying of garrisons, &c., and preventing
any man stealing back from the army with booty. Norfolk shall give
credence to Southampton and Sir Ant. Browne in such things as they
shall declare. As Rutland is appointed to have the honour of leading
the rearward of the army, he cannot keep his office of wardenry, and
therefore Suffolk is appointed. Norfolk shall inform Rutland of this.
If the Scots begin to talk of Border matters, of attemptates and re-
dress, the commissioners shall answer that those are matters of small
moment and will follow well enough when tilings of more weight are
determined. If they allege that this break rose on the English side,
they must be reminded of their breach of league in keeping the King's
lands and traitors, their raid upon the Fenwykes and the burning of
Beaucastle when the King was at York, raid into Cokedal of 4 July, as
Sir Thos. Wharton has certified, " which was the first rode and beginning
of evil rule on the Borders after the departure of the Commissioners,"
taking two prisoners on the 7th July at Tordeworthe on the Heske
buying salmon, "behaviour of lord Maxwell when the commissionfersj
were departed," &c.

appears the King of Scots puts " a shote ancre " in his navy if his men
should have the worst, the King asks whether Norfolk thinks his army
by sea sufficient, a note of which is enclosed. Where my lord of Rut-
land has written that Lord Latimer is arrived at the Borders with 200
men, and that the 1,000 men levied by the President in Yorkshire
are also come; Norfolk shall take order that the President be repaid
the money disbursed for their setting forward, and cause 2,OOOZ. to be
immediately sent to John Uvedal for the pay of the garrison on the
Borders; for it appears there is some lack of money, which, considering
the scarcity of victuals, is not expedient.
Have just received his letters* written from Mr. Jenney'si housie,
approving the sending1 of Suffolk to the Borders and the delay of the
time of his entry eight days. But where he has countermanded his
company for the said eight days and instructed his ministers at Horsham
for the like purpose, the King thinks that though those of Yorkshire
should be stayed to save expense, those whose passage depends upon the
wind should rather be a fortnight too soon than a day too late. Norfolk
shall therefore send back commands to those at Horsham to start as soon
as the wind serves. My lord Privy Seal and Mr. Browne do the like
for their bands.
As to the beer to be brewed at Alborowe, are ignorant what store of
cask is there and require Norfolk to " alleviate " them of that burden
by sending some prest of money to his servant Stone and others, with
order to prepare and send so much beer to Berwick by such a day. Will
here do their best to get the proportion appointed hasted forward.

[Spanish Fallaix, the esquire, received her letter on the 5th inst., with the
Calendar, despatch for Spain. Next day he and Chapuya were in Court., both to
VI ^l.] ° *ake his leave and to hear this King's resolution on! Fallaiix's charge. Did
not solicit an answer sooner for reasons contained in his last, and also
because they daily expected to have it from the Council, according to
promise — a promise apparently made to gain time while they waited for
news from Spain. The King's answer was that he had already declared
why he could not 'accede to the aid in the form 'asked, and that,
as he had intimated t<> us by his Council, if we had power to treat for the
recompense of that which we demanded, or if we requested it by virtue
of the treaty of Cambray, it would be another thing, and he would make
a suitable answer. Reminded him that heretofore he had excused himself
from sending succour against the Turk, because it wa>s too far and the
necessity not great since Germany was assisting, but chiefly because he
thought this year to make war against people who were almost Turks ;
and since he said the season was too far advanced for that, he might
very easily give the said assistance required, and, thereby, besides
serving God and obliging your Majesties, he would profit his subjects,
who, because the traffic of Antwerp1 was spoilt by this war, were here
saying that it wasi made as much against them as against Flanders.
Chapuys also said that he thought if the Queen was helped with a good
sum of money, she could gain over the Landgrave of Hesse, which would
be the greatest blow to Francis. Added that one of the things which
had most discouraged the Flemings was the disappointment of the hopes
raised by Chapuys's going over that the alliance with the Emperor was
430 34 HEtfRY VIII.

780. CHAPUYS to the QUEEN OF HUNGARY — cont.
concluded. The King1, said it would be a very good thing to gain the
Landgrave, and as to his own subjects, although they could not trade
in Antwerp, they would have other outlets for their wares ; that, a>s to
the first point touched by Chapuys, the enterprise against France, and
the second, the aid defensive, he had done his duty, and if the Emperor
had listened to the bp. of Winchester, or if, afterwards, vou would have
condescended to reasonable conditions when I went into Flanders, affairs
might have passed otherwise. And he enlarged so much on this that
I had to justify your Majesties, and hint that you had accorded all his
demands, although some of the conditions were a little unequal, and thait
afterwards his commissioners made exorbitant demands, which you couM
not accord.
After some further talk the King charged Fallaix to convey his
affectionate commendations to the Emperor, and to say he wondered at
having no answer from him ; that the times required other diligence, and
if he wished to order his affairs he must himself pass into Flanders,
After we had left the King, and he had; spoken with Secretary
Wriothesley, the Council declared to us that although the King had
present need of his forces, he would not fail to observe anything he had
treated, and if we required aid under the treaty of Cambray, he was
reaidy to furnishi it. When we answered that our request was not on
that ground, they praved us to attest that inl writing for their satisfac-
tion (pour le$ Tioster de tons, scrupules), which we avoided doing, as not
necessary, and renewed our representations! upon Fallaix's charge. They
promised to speak with the King and send his answer next day ; but
there is none yet, although I have sent to solicit it, and vesterdav I met
the King going to see the Prince, but he never mentioned it, and talked
only of news from Flanders and Germany. Is sure that till thev receive
news from Spain he will have no answer. The King fears that the news
•will not be such as he desires, and is not without doubt that his Holiness
may achieve some peace or truce between the Emperor and France, and
is sorry he took so short al term for not treating to each other's prejudice,
and has prayed Chapuys to write for its -prorogation. His offer to fulfil
the treaty of Cambrav is to give the Emperor no occasion to be dis-
satisfied and treat with others.
Fallaix left yesterday for Bristol to pass the more surely with the fleet
that goes from thence. The day before arrived here a lord of Ireland,
called the Great Onel, reputed the most powerful lord there, but very
slenderly accompanied, to render homage. The King lately dismissed a
gentleman of his chamber for being too familiar with the French ambais-
sador and taking him to banquet in al park which the gentleman held of the
King. For like familiarity, and for some words, the equerry (ligueres)*
Granade was dismissed, but afterwards the King, at the intercession of
some, gave him another post.
The great preparation! made against the Scots and the number of men
marching thitherwards is beyond belief; but the Scotch ambassador is
said to be sure of the appointment being concluded at this assembly of

Some say they lie on the French borders adjoining Luxemburg, sparkled

come to lie about Amyaz, the Frenchmen doubting that, if the King
have peace with the king of Scots, the army that now repairs Scotland

to constrain the said King, who " had already sent an ambassador unto

of Portugal being annoyed, revoked his ambassador, and the bishop of
Rome has sent this nuncio to pacify the King ; and albeit in great fear
to go thither, and having small comfort of the Emperor, who is himself
dissatisfied with the Bishop, the nuncio is gone and is by this time
in Valladolid. There has been no nuncio in Portugal for three years,
and the King is grieved at the enormities and exactions there used by

Finds to-day that the men of Nottinghamshire are but 600 ; and
my lord of Suffolk's letter shows that he should have all now in wages
on the Borders besideis my lord of Cumberland's 1,800 or 2,000, so that,
if these be taken from Norfolk's company, together with Holderness,
Hullshire and Beverley, he will lack a great part of his number. Per-
ceives that the tarrying at home of the men about Hull is by Stanhope's
means. Hull has nothing to fear from Scotland, the King's navy being
in the North Seas, nor is any enterprise out of France likely this year,
and as for Denmark, the season is too> late ; so that he may as well have
the men of Hull with him. Perceived yesterday that Shropshire is left
out of his commission, which always before went with Staffordshire,

Shrewsbury much desires Sir John Talbot with him, if the Council will
write to him to be at Newcastle 1 Oct. Has received their writings by
Adam the messenger. The letters of George Douglas and Donlanerick
report truly touching the ships. Where the King would know his advice
whether the number of ships appointed is sufficient; if all named in
the bill were in the Frithe, they might lie there a,s long as they would
ere the ships of Scotland would meddle with them, and although four
of them are sent Westward the rest, keeping together, shall be strong
enough ; for all Scotland has but one ship of 13 or 14 score, one of 10
and one of 8, the rest being small men of 5, 4, and under. Prays God
that with lying too long in Humber, the first five have not missed
the Danske fleet. The wind is fair both for them to waylay the Scots
and for the victual ship® alt Lynn and the men of war laist come out of
the Thames, to come to Skathe Rode and Berwick. Lincoln, 14 Sept.
Having shown the above to my lord of Suffolk, he asked what light
field ordnance Norfolk could forbear him. Answered none; for he had
not enough to serve him and leave Berwick scarcely furnished. A
dozen light pieces with bows, arrows, and bills should be sent to Lynn ;
for without it Suffolk's enterprise would be dangerous. I perceive by
my instructions that he should have 6,000 men, but surely he cannot
have any out of the countries in my commission, save of my lord of
Cumberland. Leicestershire, Warwick, Rutland and Northampton
should be appointed to furnish him with a good number. .Signed.

with the copy of the denunciation of war. Lippuna.no, the nuncio sent
from Rome to the King of Portugal, goes to reconcile the Bishop and
the King, who is offended at the Bishop's giving certain benefices, " grant-
ing bulls for money to the new converses," and favouring Michael de
Silva, of late made cardinal. It is said the Emperor is ill content with
the Bishop, and thinks he leans to the French part ; and the Bishop's
sending for the duke of Cameryne from hence is taken for an argument
that he does not favour the Emperor, although he saysi it is to make
him General Captain and Governor of the lands of the Church, his

father being dangerously diseased. The Emperor knows how expedient
it is (with Sicily, Naples, Milan and other things in Italy) to keep the
Bishop from joining the French kine ; but if he once break with the
Bishop he will be acerrimus Jiostis. The Nuncio of late had letters from
Rome that the Bishop, to pacify this war, would send Card. Contarenus
to the Emperor and Card. Sadoleto to the French king. The Emperor,
thereupon, wrote to the Bishop not to trouble with sending any cardinal,
for he was determined, as the French king has begun, to proceed against
him extremely. This may be policy, but appears to be serious; for
besides his vexation, he has made costly provision, and is able to with-
stand the fury of the French king in Navarre, Cathalonia and Aragon,
and with his army, which daily assembles, put to flight the French
army, albeit it is reckoned at 25,000 men.
Daily, the 4,000 Almains, who long ago embarked at Savona, are
looked for at Barcelona.. The Emperor will receive the nobles 'of
Castilla at Saragosa. The French were said to have passed Perpig-nan,
and taken Pertusa and Elna ; but they were only raiding1 parties of light
horse, who have captured Signor Luys de Cardona and Messer. Bernardo
Alberto of Barcelona and his wife. The Emperor's subjects are very
loving, although not in best subiection. The Conde de Anguillar, a
Roman born, who had charsre of four galleys, has gone over to the
French king. It has been said that the Infant of Portugal will succour
the Emperor with 10,000 footmen and many horse, but that will not be
unless the Turk come. Considering the good t>rovision the duke of
Alva has made for Perpignan, the great army will not go thither before
the end of this month, when the Frenchmen shall be weary of their
lodging there. Alva came, 31 Aug., in post to Monzon, tarried two
days with the Emperor and returned to Barcelona, and Girona.
Here has been much speaking of the duke of Cleves and his great army
in the Lower Parts, and the danger the prince of Orange was in.
Describes the garrison of Perpignan, in which Don Juan Daccuena and
Seignior Juan de Ceninglion are captains, and the French army there.
What is most feared here is scarcity of victuals and the coming of the Turk
or Barbarousse, which is unlikely now, but as the Emperor passed to
Aleere when nk> man believed it, so* Barbairousse or some other corsair
might adventure against him. Spain and all the Emperor's dominions
would have been in great danger if the Turk's power had come this year.
Sanaeral, Barbarousse's deputy in Algere, has made some business about
Busia, and the Emperor has sent some galleys thither. Such things
must be foreseen, for in Valencie and all thait coast and in the realm of
Granat are an infinite number of Moors, who, although divers of them
be "new converses," savour of the smoke, and are justly in suspicion.
More than a fortnight a^o, the Emperor appointed Don Luys de la
Cerda, the Viceroy of Aragon and others to provide against robberv
by the Gascons at all the passages into France; also 15 galleys of
Spain and 13 of Genua brought munitions, &c., from Carthagena and
Malaga to Barcelona, and Palamos, for the defence of Perpignan.
Advice was given from Italy that three French galleys had passed to
Constantinople, carrying three great personages as hostages, to brine the
60 Turkish galleys to Marseilles. By letters from the Venetians' bailiff of
Constantinople, of 8 and 10 July, received here on the 2nd inst., the
French ambassador at once obtained an order from the Turk for 60 or
80 galleys to be ready within a month to depart under Barrbarossa, who
reckoned then to have with the foists and galleys of Barbary, 150 sail,

14 Sept. 789 . BONNER to the BISHOP OF WESTMINSTER.
St p*nP 163 This 13 Sept., before dinner, received his letters dated Portugalet,
9 Sept., 6 p.m., with the letters in cipher from the Council, which he had
great pain to decipher, both because " the cipher was now put in ex-
perience touching letters received," and because divers "charectes"
were not in Bonner's cipher. Sent word to Grandvele, at Monzon, that
he had letters to declare to the Emperor, and would follow his me3S°nger.
Did so, and saw Grandvele, to whom he declared the cause of West-
minster's writing and the effect of the cipher in Latin. He wondered
Westminster was not gone, and was evidently grieved at the other
letters. After taking the names of the towns and noting the contents,
he said they had advice out of Flanders, 31 July, that all was well and
good provision made. Replied that it might be so, but these letters
were dated 11 Aug. Grandvele then described how Orleans, following
the falsehood of his father, had treacherously won Danvila® in Luxem-
bourg and attempted Yvois, but he trusted that the Lady Regent,
whom the false Frenchmen took unawares, was by this time provided
for them. And here he described Alva's successes against the French
at Perpignan, how the inhabitants of Elna had killed and huH many
Frenchmen, among whom was Mons. de Claremont, kinsman to Brisalc,
and how 33 galleys were gone to fetch 4,000 Almains and 2,000 Spaniards
out rvf Italy, because neither the Turk nor Barbarossa were coming, ais
the Frenchmen believed ; and when these came they would make another
reckoning with the Frenchmen, who> had really done little hurt about
Perpignan. He heard that the French king was coming from Mont-
pellier to Narbone ; and he hoped so, for it would increase the scarcitv
of victuals with the Frenchmen, whereas, holding the strait passage of
Pertusa and the sea coast, their men had victuals enough. Bonner said
all this provision would have been saved if, at Grandveles comino- from
Italy, thev had allied themselves with1 the Xinsr ; for then the French-
men would not have dared to bring in the Turk or come so far as thev
had; but in the delay thev had only been abused by the Bishop of
Rome. Grandvele answered that as to the Bishop, thev had no ca>use
to love or trust him, and would show ere loner what they would do
onenlv against him ; they had made as great speed as they could, and he
wished that Westminster and De Currier, ut>on thpir despatch, mio-ht
have been incontinently in England, and since Westminster tarried
the return of Bonner's messenger, he begged that there might be no
delay. Grandvele added that Mons. de Currier should go through with
everything,* and offered to get Bonner audience of the Emperor if he
wished it. Replied that he might perceive that the letters from the

King's Council were to be signified to the Emperor, but Bonner had told
him all, knowing his affection for the King. Went to his lodging, and
had, scant put off his riding gear when the Emperor sent for him by
Bonetus, Grandvele's secretary.
Describes the interview, in which he declared the letters from the
Council and the lord Admiral. The Emperor asked if that were^not
Mons. Fitzwilliams. Replied no ; but another lord that succeeded him ;
and " declared divers qualities of my said lord Admiral," whom the
Emperor seemed to recollect, saying they "were both men of singular
good qualities." The Emperor's sayings agreed with Grandvele's, and
he wished De Currier was already in England ; but he was sure the King
would be satisfied, knowing " that the sea;, with naughty persons in the
same, is the impediment." Begged thait the small points he stuck upon
might be utterly abolished, and the Emperor replied, smiling, that they
were not small, but he trusted that De Currier should satisfy the King.
Grandvele said that the Emperor intended to answer and disprove, in
print, the French king's justification of his indiction of war, and
promised Bonner a copy this night, together with the Emperor's answer,
which should touch on the General Council and, although in their posi-
tion they might not openly speak evil of the Pope, they would so prick
him as to show that he was to blame for all. Hopes that although the
Emperor will not openly break with the bishop of Rome, he will
gradually come nearer to the King's desires, because of the Bishop's
unkind and crafty proceedings ; for his main object is to be revenged of
the French king. Provoked him to utter his stomach against the
Bishop, by saying that the French king would not have gone to war
if the Bishop had seriously forbidden him, and mentioning his " casting
bones between princes, that himself mishit reign," and " usurping of
princes," as lately in Portugal; but the Emperor "is very close and
rather content to do things than to utter them." Thinks however that
he will do more than " they of Italy that use many gay promises."
Two days past arrived Mons. Matrvo,* thait was the Emperor's am-
bassador in France, exclaiming upon the falsehood and unkindness of the
Frenchmen, who made him go out of the direct way and ride but one
post in the day, to prevent his bringing1 the news. Dr. Nicolao de Ponte
is coming ambassador from Venice. Has obtained and now sends the
licence for the colts and mules. The fair at Barbastro, " which stood by
mules of the mountains in France," was not good for mules by reason
of the war. Perhaps Thomas Holland "may provide there;" if not
Bonner will. Begs him to make speed and let Mons. de Currier do the
same. Marvels that Westminster's letters make no mention of him, for
he is to be cherished. Sends a packet of letters, to be delivered to the
King by Mr. Secretary Wriothesley, containing in ciuher all their pro-
ceedings here, which he thought to have sent through France. Begs him
to let the King see this letter ; also to provide there, among the English
merchants, 200Z., in double ducats or ryalles, for Bonner, and in England
be solicitor for his diets, and that his woods about London be not so cut
down as they have been. The Courtes here are prolonged, because of
these matters of Perpignan, which make it convenient for the Emperor to
abide where he is, albeit the pretence is that the Courtes are prolonged
in order to swear and habilitate the Prince, at which there has been some
sticking. Afterwards the Emperor will go to Saragosa to meet the greait

meanwhile. He also tarries the coming of the Almains and Spaniards to
Barceilon. Grandvele says the assa,ult at Andwarpe was by the setting
on of certain traitors who have suffered. Monzon, 14 Sept. 7 a.m.

P.S. — This ready to be closed, I went to Grandvele to know if he had
aught else with this courier. He said that the Courtes should end in
three or four days, the Prince be sworn and the Emperor go to Saragosa
and Barcelona. "That they haive written acerrimas liter as ad
Episcopum Romanum. That within these iiij. or v. days there shall be
letters published for the defence of th'Emperor touching this war, and
yet tempered ne videantur irritare crabrones, and sorry he is that none
of the copies do remain here, but one sent to the Regent, another to the
king of Romans, and the third unto the Prince. That, of late, commun-
ing with the Nuncio in Covos' house, they told him that if the Pope
would not better do his office they would conjoin and combine them-
selves with his adversaries in Almayne, yea, cum Lutheranis, and have
a Council." He will give the King a mule, desires you to make speed

NO. Emperor letters written by his master's Council to him and his colleague
62.] wondering that they had still no news from this side. Satisfaction was
given him, to the effect that it was due to the weather and difficulty of
the passage, and that, besides, the Emperor has nothing to add to the
papers Mons. de Courrieres carries. The letters were of the llth ult.,
and contained the news of Flanders, and expressed the ILing's displeasure
at the French invasions of Luxemburg,* Flanders, and Artois. The
Emperor thanked the bp., and said he hoped the Germans would soon
arrive in Flanders, and that the Queen will have provided for everything,
and he was certain that, before 1 1 Aug., the Germans were on the march.
True we have not heard ±rom the Queen since the 17th, nor from anyone
of the side of Flanders since 31 July; which causes anxiety, but that
we are sure the enemies will be repulsed on the arrival of the Germans.
The armies of Francis on the side of Pamplona and Narbonne are
about to join. They had need to do so, as you will see by what " le
secretaire nostre — * " writes to you.
The bp. has several times said to the Emperor that the Pope was not
doing his duty towards him; which the Emperor avoided discussing, by
saying that his respect to the Holy Father was on account of his office,
and that perhaps he would do better than was thought. Has since spoken
to the bp. on that point, and [assured him] of the Jjimperor's consistency
(perseverance de I'intention), and thinks he is satisfied, for he takes in-
numerable oaths that he desires the Emperor's prosperity like that of
his own master, and glories in being the enemy ol the French. Chapuys
will ascertain whether he is sincere. Mousson (Moncon), 14 Sept. 1542.

799. HENRY VIII. to the COMMISSIONERS at YORK.
Yesterday, received a letter from the King of Scots by his herald
Snowden (copy enclosed). As the chief point, the repair of lord Erskyn
to the King, seems intended only to win time, instructs them as
follows : — •
1. At their first meeting, after opening their instructions to the Scots,
they shall declare to them, especially to lord Erskyn, that the King has
received the said letter, and has appointed them his commissioners with

full power to conclude all matters, within a time limited, but not to
admit any delay, and therefore they require the said lord Erskyn to tell
what he has to say to the King. If he tell it, they shall secretly signify
it to the King ; or, if not, declare that the King will answer anything which
the ambassadors can propone, but, if he will by that mean seek delay,
he is not to repair to the King. 2. If the Scots seem over quick in
granting the conditions (which it is here thought they will not do but
for the time and the advantage which the King has, the like whereof
will be hard to have hereafter) directs them to insist that the pledges
be six, or at least four, of great estimation, three earls and a bp.
or three earls and three others, and that the ambassadors remain
here till they are delivered. 3. If they proceed in their journey
they must consider whether any fortresses near the Borders may be
taken and fortified, without notable charge, for the enlargement of the
frontier; so that, if God give them the victory, some such tokens may
remain " as the Scots should by the same both know England the better
and feel their force and courage somewhat abated." 4. Has heard, since
their departure, that the isles of Shetland and Orkney are great '' nurishes "
to Scotland for bestiall and corn. They must ensearch the truth of this
and what may be done in it ; so as, God sending victory, they may send
the Scotch ships found in Leith and the victuallers now with the King's
navy, with men and munition, to prey and destroy the corn and cattle
there; for, seeing the cost of this enterprise, the King would have the
Scots so handled as to be sure on that side next year, when, perchance, he
may be occupied, as they know, in other parts. Desires their advice
in this and promises that they shall lack nothing. 5. Encloses copy of
a letter to Rutland from Sir Thos. Wharton showing that the earl of
Cumberland, lord Dacres and others have warned their tenants on the
West Marches to wait upon them when commamded. Borderers are
bound to attend the wardens at their own charge in all sudden raids,
and therefore are in all Parliaments exempt from subsidies, &c. Nor-
folk shall order the said lords and other land owners there not to meddle
with those men but by his command; for half the 600 men appointed
to Suffolk should be Borderers serving at their own charge. Suffolk
shall also have all workmen engaged upon fortifications, and, considering
the pageants lately played by those Borderers and their natural desire
of stealing, Norfolk shall do well to take a® few with him as he may,
especially of Tindal and Riddisdale.

Received and reported to the King his letters of the 14th. Suffolk
shall bring 3,000 of his men out of Lincolnshire and Warwickshire, and
have the other 3,000 of the Borderers, who shall not lie in garrison or
have wages, but be ready to attend him as they now do Rutland. Norfolk
may take with him all inland men in the garrisons, and such Borderers
as he likes, provided he leaves 2,000 at least for defence, besides workmen,
counting such of the earl of Cumberland's tenants as be Borderers. Sir
John Talbot is written to as he desires ; and also Mr. Stanop, to let him

to it, so that there may be 12 warships besides victuallers, the last of
which leaves on Tuesday next. 3. List of ordnance and artillery to be
shipped to Berwick on Tuesday for Suffolk's furniture. 4. Of the money
with Mr. Harington, 5,000£. shall be delivered to Mr. Wodall to pay
Suffolk's 3,000 men and his own diets, after the rate in a schedule en-
closed. If by this division of Suffolk's band, Cumberland has no men
in wages to attend him, Norfolk shall assign him a convenient number
considering that he goes not out of the realm.

B. O. Has verified what he wrote of Mons. de Bees having mustered 500
footmen to reinforce his garrison of Bulien, and that to Muttrell and
Turwau should go as many, and 300 footmen come to Arde, making
there 900, and, with the bands of Mons. de Crequey and Mons. Torsey,
100 men of arms. The same night came 300 footmen to Fyennes, bruit-
ing that all castles and peels thereabouts should be furnished. Hearing
that the Great Master had left these frontiers for Luxemburghe, con-
ceived that they meant to overthrow the vaults of the travers wall and
gatehouse now making here, and therefore took precautions (described)
against surprise. Thinks now that that is not their enterprise, for he
hears that the 500 men gathered at Fyennes shall repair to Mons.
d'Orleance and the 2,000 enfants. de Paris (who were with Vandosme
and returned to Paris) are re-assembled and repairing to Mons. d'Orleance,
doubting the coming of the Regent's power against him under the Great
Master, the prince of Orrenge and Mons. de Bure, to the number of
30,000 foot, 6,000 horse and a great number of lanceknights from the
Electors of Allemaygne.
Mons. de Crequey and the footmen of Arde issued out next morning
after his coming, and took Froylande castle, beside Tournehem, wherein
were 60 peasants. This assembly seems to be to take such peels of little
strength thereabouts. Mons. de Beez has not stirred from Bulien.
Mons. de Foxall was there, the castle being within three miles of his
house. Hears to-day that De Beez feared a descent of Englishmen,
having counted a,t least 40 ships passing towards Calais, whereupon
divers of Base Bulien fled up into the town with their coffers. Stand in
doubt; but the Frenchmen are in most fear, for they both fear the
Emperor's power and doubt us. Orleans is retired to the Court, and
his camp broken up. Of his C'levoieiz 6,000 shall winter about Amyaz.
He made the more haste to break up his camp at the approach of the
Regent's power.
Reminds them of the need here of pikes and demi-hawks. Guisnes,

It was a pleasure in the midst of most weighty affairs to read his
little book* and so learn more of him than could be seen in a brief
colloquy, for Qualis est homo, talis. oratio. Smith thinks him sarcastic
(dicax), and he will not argue the matter; for it is not of himself but
by virtue of his office that he issues edicts more severe, perhaps, than,
the thing requires if the state of the times did not demand it. Out of
friendship for Cheke, Smith seizes every occasion to find fault with the
writer's words. Explains that he has not acted on the advice of others
but on his own judgment. Docs not deny that the present pronuncia-
tion of Greek differs from the ancient. Does not say it should be usied
because it is right, but that because it is used it is right to use it.
Throws doubts upon the validity of the arguments used by Cheke and
him, and shows the unreasonableness of their request. Erasmus, when
Philip Melancthon, a young man prone to innovations, wrote to him
about expelling Scotus and all scholastic theology, answered like a
prudent man that he would deliberate about changing scholastic theology
when there was a better to substitute for it. Enjoys his letters and the
eloquence of his style, but is not influenced by words, for in study it
almost follows that where there is most show there is least judgment.
The profession he has taken up, the law, demands the whole man, and
Gardiner sees in him a talent which promises great things if it is not
hindered by trifles of this kind.

806. MAIULLAC to EUANCIS I.
His last of the i3tn (&ic) will show how all the war preparation
was, for the season, turned against the king of Scotland. Tnis is to
confirm that news, which is daily more evident. As to the number of
men sent Northwards, has seen an extract showing that they will be
120,000, of whom the half should be assembled at IN euichastel, 60 miles
from Scotland, on the 25th inst., from whence part of them under Nor-
lolk will draw toi Berwick, and the rest under the lord Privy Seal go
towards (Jariin, to invade tJie enemy on two sides at once. ±ne reot
under the duke of buifoc and lord 01 (Jhesne (who as yet does not stir
from the places where he made the musters) is reserved to take the p.ace
of the first armies if they fortune to be broken, or to join them on tue
10th of next month if tne enemies prove too strong or too strongly
posted. As to the army by sea., all this King's ships, about ^0, have
sailed except six, whicn will remain in this river, and with those of
some lords and merchants which are taken lor service, it is reckoned
that they will have 25 of 200 tons and over, and 40 of 100 tons and
under ( 'l en ban), the one to fight and the other to carry victuals and
munitions, of wnich marvellous quantities are laden. Moreover the
English tnank to harass their enemy from the side of Ireland by means
of a great number of savages, which are near those of (Scotland, for it
is only 7 or 8 leagues across from one isle to the others, of wnich Irish
savages, the greatest and finest lord and captain, who ail his life had
made war on the English, called the Great O'Neil, three; or four days
ago came to surrender to this King, making homage and oath of service,
and promising a great force against his enemies. But tnet ambassador
of Scotland, who had heard how the said lord of O'Neil was coming, told
Marillac he had no fear for that respect, for the Irish could do nothing
except against their (the Scots') savages, whom they think to be amply
sufficient to resist them, and, besides tliat, nothing could be gained there
but blows. However, without being aided by the Irish, it has not been
seen within the memory of man or in the chronicles of England s.nce the
Conquest that such a force has been put in the field ; and evidently they
do not wish to go there twice, but ratner at this once intend to make the
king of Scotland so little a lord that he will never have power to do
them harm ; of which they hold themselves as sure as if they had come
to an agreement with God to have the victory in their own way. flhe
king of (Scotland is already warned of all ; and nas prepared to resist with
all nis might those who are counting upon entirely destroying him. It
is true that now is the time of the parley at! York, but it is thought

Hamilton with the King, who arrived on the 17th. Showed their commission and
Papers, the ambassadors showed theirs, which only gave power for injuries
No. 167. to ke reformed and the former amity continued. ±tefused that and
another like it, as more meet for the wardens of the Borders than
lor such a meeting; whereupon the ambassadors produced a third
coni erring ample powersi Reminded the|m of the Kingfs love
ever shown for his nephew; which had not been requited, but the
promised interview broken, the King's houses burned at Newcastle, the
Fenwicks slain, &c., and asked what they demanded. They answered,
a perpetual peace. Said their master should in friendly manner restore
all prisoners lately taken, with horse and gear, as the best way to mollify
the King. Found them appliable, saying there should be no sticking at
that if other things were agreed. Replied that if it came not of a frank
heart, but by agreement, it were much less thankworthy, and that we
would (if we were his counsellors) advise their master to deliver the pri-
soners, who were not persons the King much regarded; for, if not, the
King had made such preparation that cruel war mignt ensue. After
consulting long together, they answered that, of late, Ross© herald had
shown tiie King tnat their master would deliver them upon his word or
writing desiring it : they had no special instructions but dare agree that,
other matters passing, tnere should be no sticking at that. Replied tnat,
as for word or writing, it was enough that they, the commissioners, showed
that the King would have them restored ; and desired their final answer.
They asked what further points should be communed of, for on this point
there would be no disagreement, they should be restored without ran-
som. On that said their commission to enter ligam defenswam et
offensivam showed the frankness of the King's affection, but there could
be no true amity if one could damage the other, and therefore, if they
would join in a perfect amity, neither might make war upon the other
a,t the request of another prince. They began to say they had old leagues
with France which they might not break. Replied, so had we, but if
the Emperor or French king broke with us it were not reason that they
should do the same a,t another prince's request. Touched at length upon
their detaining traitors and sticking at the last meeiting of commissioners
for the bounds of the realms, whereto they made long discourse like that
reported at the time by the King's commissioners, and said that matter
was too small to stick at. Touched also how, after the departing of those
commissioners, they immediately began to make excurses, burnings and
slaughters; and here we stuck that they began, on the 4th, and they
that we began, on the 7th July. And so departed for that night.
This morning the ambassadors said that to make an amity other-
wise than the first, they must refer to their masiter, and showed his
signed instructions that if they made a new amity it must be conformable
to the old, where mention is made that they should not leave the amity
of France, but they knew their master would for no prince living break

with the King, whom he esteemed above all; and as for attemptates,
breaches or prisoners, they were but trifles, for surely their master was
" chiefly given " to join with the King. Asked why then would he not
come to the King upon his promise last year (which had silenced such
matters for ever) and yet might do if a meeting were shortly held? They
answered that they would send to their master with all haste, and were
sure they should have commission and instructions to conclude both
amity and meeting. Said they could not protract the time unless the
ambassadors took short day to make resolute answer ; also, provided the
meeting were concluded, unless hostages were given, they could not
defer the King's preparations, naming the greatest of Scotland, as
Argyle, Huntley and Arran, to> come hither in post. At this they were
marvellously perplexed, saying their nobles are so suspicious and fearful ;
they would themselves lie here as hostages, and whait their master
promised under his great seal he would not for all his realm break, but
it was easier to induce him to come himself in post tham to induce some
of his noblemen, who were never out of his realm, to come to England.
And here they began " to swear blood, wounds, nails, body and passion
of Christ, both the Bishop and other, that they dissembled not,"
but would venture their lives, which were as dear to them as life is to any
earl in their country. They thought thait before Christmas was time con-
venient, and would write for commission to conclude the amity and meet-
in p. and lie themselves as hostages. Here the commissioners stuck that
the King would have earls for hostages, which they promised to write for
but were desperate to obtain, " more for the untowardness of their people,
being wild, than of their master." " Dilated " to them how the French
king put in hostages to the King for like purpose. They promised answer
in six days, and seem anxious to have it brought to pass and to proceed
unfeignedly. York, 19 Sept. Signed: T. Norfolk: W. Southampton:

Add. MS. Need not write of their conferences with the Scottish ambassadors ;
32'6B M189' The King did wisely to defer their going to Newcastle for eight days;
Hamilton for there is yet no word of the arrival of the ships with victual at New-
Papers, castle or Berwick. Have deferred such as come from Lancashire,
No. 168. Cheshire, Notts, Derby, Staffordshire and this shire, to be at Newcastle
7 Oct. Sooner they could not get victual to pass beyond Newcastle.
There are not foists to put beer in to suffice the army four days. The
enclosed bill from Sir G. Lawson shows there are but three brewhouses
in Berwick, and one of these is not ready, nor the best cannot brew
above 10 or 11 quarters at a time. Of Norfolk's men 2,200 will come
to Holy Island with the first wind. Their lordships may consider what
these will consume and what shall remain to furnish the army for eight
days.
Yesternight arrived Sir John Harrington! with word from Rutland
that Northumberland was never so out of order with spoils and robberies.
Rutland can get no service, except from Robt. Colingwode, John Horsley,
Gilbert Swynowe and, sometime, John Car, and says the country is

Norfolk first sent is all spent, beer cannot be got here or in Hull or

R' °' Wrote in his last of levies made to be put in garrisons, how
Mons. de Crequey had taken Froylande, and the opinion that the gather-
ing was to take peels and castles, and so clear the valley betwixt Arde
and St. Omez, and so to Muttrell ; no longer mistrusting the travers wall
and vaults here. Most of the levies are retired home. An espial
reports that Mons. de Crequey is retired past Boullen and Muttrell and
Hew, and that their coming was to overrun the King's pale and spoil
the country, a.s they did about Tourneham and Mountorev; which
should have been done if letters had not come from the French king to
Mons. de Beez. Heard yesterday, by another way, that their plan was
to have entered the pale in three places, l>e Beez by the sea side, De
Crequey on the other side, and the g-overnor of Fyennes in the midst.
Thinks that, upon sight of the ships which I>e Beez saw, if any men had
landed he would have taken the advantage they "have been wont to
do." If the Kins: means to do anything hitherward this year begs for
early notice of it that the poor subiects may save their cattle ; and pro-
poses a scheme for the garrison of Calais to " prevent " the French, by a
raid in their country of which they could safelv spoil a great part. Could
make 2,000 footmen, to meet whom all Boullonoiez could not make a
sufficient number in two days, whereas the enterprise could be done in
six or seven hours. The thing to be doubted is their men of arms, of
whom they have more than we can make; but they are not always
tocrpther. If anvthing is to be done this year, and Wallop gets no
notice in time, the country will be spoiled. Yesterday his espial met
two friars coming- from Bullen, who said De Beez was in their house at
mass on Thursday last, and there was S'ood news that there should be
peace between their Kin? and the King of England ; for such letters
came of late to Mons. de Beez, but before they were much afraid. Knows
that De Beez said fearfully, eight days as;o, that the peace was not so
good as he thought. Prays God to continue that fear in all Frenchmen,
"for it is much given them by nature." Guisnes, 19 Sept. Signed,

His Grace of Norfolk at Lincoln, appointed all Nottinghamshire

together. Thought that all Notts, gentlemen should have gone
with my lord of Rutland without further request, but has since
heard that most of them went with Shrewsbury. As Rutland
is not in these parts, advises her write to the captains of Notts, de-
siring them, on coming into' the North, to repair to Rutland's retinue.
They set forward to-morrow or Friday, I setting forward his men.
To-morrow she shall know the conclusion of the Council at York. The

Enclose letters just received. Sir Geo. Lawson's shows how little

that there is no knowledge of the ships of war, although the wind on
Saturday, Sunday, and Monday last wasi as fair as could blow, and now
with the rain yesterday, is so contrary that no man can come northward.
My lord Privy Seal does not siafn this, because he has been ill all ni?ht,
which we think is for melancholy because the victual ships are not
arrived, and that we are like to lack bread and drink at Berwick, for
lack of foists and mills to grind wheat. It is impossible to invade Scot-
land or even pass Newcastle without victual, although " never men would
more gladly accomplish the intended iourney than we would." York,

21 Sept. 817. The PRIVY COUNCIL to PAGET.
The King has received his of the 7th, and seen the platt sent
therewith. As it appears that the Admiral was "something moved"
when he declared to Paget's man the taking of certain of their ships,
whereof their ambassador and the vicomte of Bepe had sent word, Pa#et
shall take occasion to tell him that he has since written to the King to
know the certainty, and is, in reply, commanded to declare that the King
marvels that it should be thought he did anything against the aniity,
and that they set so little by that amity as to give credit to
every flying- tale against it. The vicomte of Depe isi a party to the
fault ; and the ambassador has, " of a good season," seemed rather dis-
posed to sow division than to increase amity, by giving credit to flying
tales of merchants and other light persons. The truth is that only four
French ships are stayed here, viz., (1) the ship that carried home the
Cardinal of Scotland, which, in her return, played the ravening thief
and pirate, and was captured with the nets, boats, and clothing in her of
sundry poor English fishers, whom she had spoiled; (2) another was
taken in the West country, manned by banished men of France, who
seized upon a small isle in those parts, and were captured by the men of
the country near it ; (3) a third took a ship of London even in the mouth
of the Thames, at the East Swale, of which the ;mayor and aldermen
showed the papers to the ambassador; and (4) a fourth was taken by
Wight, charged with robbing an Englishman of 400?., and indeed she
lay in the mouth of the haven so that none " could enter but she would
be doing with her." If the Admiral weigh these cases, he will marvel
that they are not already used according to their demerits, and, if he
minds the entertainment of the amity, ought rather to be offended with
such as minister such occasion of unkindness than grieved at their punish-
ment. Paget may add that English merchants have suffered no small
loss by Frenchmen since this war began, whereof the King makes not
so great exclamations, and that Flemings (who, they say, are favoured in
English portsA are no more favoured than Frenchmen, but the King will
suffer no depredations to be made in his ports by any nation.
The King has granted to Paget and his wife, in survivorship, the rent
of the lands he farms of his Majesty, being about 24?. ; for which he
" may render humble thanks " in his next letters.

818. The PRIVY COUNCIL to [the COMMISSIONERS at YORK].
Are sorry to understand by their Lordships' letters the many
incommodities of victual, &c., and glad to see that the same shall be, by
their wisdoms, relieved.
Have done all that can be compassed here by man's foresight or
money, and enclose an account of provision made here. If the execution
of their purpose take not effect the let thereof shall be in the weather
and not in their slackness.. Trust that all the victual has departed from
London! this day.
Two days past the King had letters from Mr. Paget that the Dolphyn
lays siege to Perpignan with only 24,000 men — so few that he does not
enclose half the town and cannot prevent it being succoured by sea. All
within the town are men of war, 8,000 or 9,000, who pasture their
bestial outside the gates during the day. The French have made
battery four days in «vain. Eight hundred men of the town issued out
upon the ordnance and slew 500 Frenchmen with the loss of only 16
men. The French king on the 12th inst. lay 20 or 30 miles from the
camp, and as the progress of the siege was not to his mind, said he would
repair thither. Mr. Paget has sent a careful " plat " of Perpignan, show-
ing the camp and where the French host made a way through the
mountains on the one side of Sawces at great cost.
The Emperor is said to be preparing an army to levy the siege. M.
Dorleaunce has ridden in post to the French Court. Paget's servant met
him on the way. M. de Va-ndosme furnishes diligently the garrisons on
this side. Of what M. de Rieus or those in Flanders do we hear no
certainty.
From Venice the King is advertised of a long secret treason by two
of the principal secretaries, who disclosed to the Turk and French king
the mind of the Signory, whereby the Venetians lost Neapoli in
Romania, and the other castlei* there. Upon the disclosing of this matter
some that were faulty took refuge with the French ambassador, who
would have defended them, and there ensued a siege of the ambassador's
house, and the traitors were taken, and the ambassador was in great
obloquy and some danger. Thus writes the King's ambassador, adding1
how much the name of Frenchmen is abhorred there. No certainty
of the Turk. Havering (where my lordf is in very eood health), 21

Newcastle. Have all travailed to get cask, and have ordered every
captain of 100 men to bring carts and victual with him. All the pro-
vision first made for the Borders is spent, and had that not been foreseen
the soldiers should have died of hunger ere this. Of the second provision
but 3 or 4 vessels are arrived, and Sir John Harrington, who now came
thence, says that two of them, landed at Eymouth, are laden with rye so
full of tares and light corn that it will make no manner of bread. Another

Has received their letters of the 19th, declaring conferences with
the ambassadors of Scotland, who have finally desired six days in which
to write to their master for ai commission to conclude the amity and his
coming hither, and to bind themselves to remain a® hostages, promising
to write for the immediate delivery of all prisoners without ransom.
Perceives that the ambassadors doubt to obtain earls to be pledges.
Thanks them for insisting upon that and other points of their instruc-
tions. As the Scots seem sincere and earnest; if they so continue at
the return of their messenger, and thereupon without tract perform their
offer, the Commissioners shall conclude (1) " a perpetual peace during
our lives and, if thefy] offer it, the same also extend to our posterities."
(2) The exception of France to be left out of the treaty, which is if
possible to be effectual against all potentates, "spiritual or temporal."

prisoners in Scotland to be at once freiely delivered with horse and gear.
(5) The hostages to lie here until the King's coming and the conclusion
of the treaty.* (6) That upon conclusion of this matter the king of
Scots shall dissolve his frontier garrisons, as the Commissioners
shall do on this side.
If they cannot obtain earls for pledges, they must try to get one great
personage besides1 the ambassadors, but, rather than break off for that,
the three ambassadors will suffice, the cause why they remain being
expressed in a bye writing signed by them. The Commissioners must
make plain that the article of the rebels extends to Kirkmen, but, aa
the words comprehend that already, rather thain break off they shall
leave it and the matter of the lands until the meeting.
If agreement is made, the Commissioners shall immediately stay the
shires named in their letters! to the Council, gather up the coats that
have been delivered, restore unused conduct money to the treasurer,
discharge all the army (except their own escort) and the garrison on the
Borders at their repair thither, and as many of the King's ships as
convenient ; and send speedy notice to Suffolk to take like order for his
company. Then, after sending the ambassadors to London, the four
Commissioners, or at least two of them, shall repair to the Borders, view
the state of Berwick and Wark, and take order for the fortification of
the Borders and sale of the victuals sent thither, also for reducing
Northumberland to good stay, and punishing parsons of misbehaviour,
or who have led the people out of order, or who first fled from
the field when Sir Robt. Bowes and others were taken. That done,
they shall discharge the garrisons, foreseeing that the Scots discharge
theirs first. As the East and Middle Marches are the weakest frontier,
and have of late sustained great damage, they should devise with the
most discreet Borderers how to strengthen them.
To show the ambassadors how the French have in their treaty pro-
vided for themselves without regard to the Scots, and so persuade them
to leave out the exception of France inserted in the former treaty, sends
a copy of the " article that neither prince shall give aid nor assistance,
&c. ; " and my lord of Durham knows how the French qualified their
comprehension f. If the Scots vary from the conditions or bring in any
other matter, showing that they mean only to delay, the Commissioners
shall proceed in their journey.
As Warke is far out of order and Scots bom suffered to remain in the
house, Carre is to be removed from it and Raymonde established there.
The dungeon is to be amended, and the well that was therein searched
out and cleansed. Considering how earnestly Mr. James Leyrmonth
has travailed to brine; this amity to pass, some of them shall privately
tell him that the King has as good an opinion of him as he ever con-
ceived of any man that came forth of Scotland, and that the compassing
of this amity and meeting shall be greatly to his advancement, whereas
if the Kirkmen succeed in hindering it his service done therein may
hereafter turn him to displeasure.

Sept., 1527 (which confirmed that of the More of 30 Aug., 1525) was that neither
Henry nor Francis should aid or countenance any prince or people in invad!ng the
other's dominions; which was also the gist of a clause in the treaty of the More. (3)

him upon the affair of the aid, and he believes, as he has always said,
that they will not until they have news from Spain, from which quarter
nothing is heard except what was brought by a servant of this King's
ambassador in France, viz., that, on the 29th u1^, when the French were
battering Perpignan 900 men issued out of the town, slew 700 of those
who guarded the French artillery, and put the rest to n.ght, and, but
for Montpesat's arrival with a great force, would have carried off tha
artillery, of which they spiked six or seven of the principal pieces. On
the following day, a,t midday, a reinforcement of 2,000 Spaniards entered
Perpignan with the loss of only one man, aoid on the preceding day
they lost only ten or twelve. The Swiss would not move on either day,
at which the French king was annoyed, and, for distrust of them, he
left off hunting between Narbonne mid Caorcasso-ne, and retired into
Narbonne. The French at the camp lamented the lack of victuals for
their horses, especially of barley. This is agreeable news to the
English, and although she may have heard it otherwise he thinks best
to write it.
According to the " description " published here, and the common bruit,
this King has now near the frontiers of Scotland over 100,000 men,

besides 20,000 which the duke of Suffolk is assembling to support them.
And the King daily enrolls men, and musters are unceasing, and in-
credible quantities of munition and victuals are sent to that quarter .
Besides the army by land, the King make© ai great effort by sea, and
hia ships have already almost cleared this coast of the French pirates,
having lately taken two*, one French and the other Scotch, laden with
artillery, harness, and other war provision. It is not credible that the
deputies will conclude peace at this assembly in York on the 18th inst.,
for this King will not be willing to lose the great expense he has made
and will consider this the season for his enterprise, when the French ara
busy elsewhere, and the confederates, as Sweden, Prussia, and Denmark,
cannot just now assist Scotland.
Of late the King has been most flattering to the Princess, and has
given her certain rings and jewels, which have, however, rot rejoiced
her so much as the good order put by the Queen of Hungary m affairs
there, and the appearance that affairs will be well. Here is no other
news save that lately, on the coa^t of Ireland, thirty Spanish ships
equipped for war met the French fleet returning from the fishery of
the Terre Nouvelle, 80 or 100 little fishing ships, and took them all
or most of them. The esquire Fallaix is still at Bristol, awaiting a
favourable wind to set sail. London, 24 Sept. 1542.

Received the King's and their letters yesterday at 9 o'clock. No
news of the coming of ships, or of others of Norfolk's company, save Sir
Edm. Wyndham, whose* ship was, from within four miles of Tynmcuth,
driven back to Scarborough, and there lies with the wind north north-
west, as contrarious as can blow. To give time for the victual to be
brewed and baked, have sent the enclosed proclamation to all the shires
in Norfolk's commission to stay their setting forth. The coats cannot
be gathered together as the King directs, for they have already been
worn, and many here have no other garments. Will be sparing of con-
duct money, as also they have written to Suffolk to be. York, 24 Sept.
P.S. — Enclose letters from Jennyns and Sir Geo. Lawson. Jennyns
writes of a hulk with 2,000 qr. of rye stayed by him. As she is of too
great burden to come to Berwick or Newcastle, he is to discharge her
at Hull.
As yet there is no answer out of Scotland to the ambassador's letters.
The King writes that if they agree with the ambassadors, two of them
shall go northwards. Beg that the two may be named in next letters,
for none of them would refuse. Signed by Norfolk, Southampton, Dur-
ham, and Browne.

24 Sept. 838. PAGET to HENRY VIII.
St pRix°l73 Hearing that the siege of Perpignan was raised, and the camp:
there retired, thought to send bearer, Hams, to England to declare the
circumstance; and sent to Court for a passport for him. Meanwhile
learnt that there was bruit of war with England, and that the King had
joined, in discourse, Henry and the Emperor, and spoken unfriendly
words (detailed, to the effect that Henry would make war on. him and
had begun with the Scots, who had however killed 1,000 Englishmen,
and killed or taken the earl of Douglas ; and that Henry had now against
him the Pope and the Scottish king, and, for his sake, the kings of
Sweden and Denmark and dukes of Cievets and Prusse would also be his
enemies, and his own people loved him not ; that he could do more with
100,000 crs. than Henry with 1,000,000 crs., and that he had done much
for Henry, and had refused to overrun him, when the Pope, the
Emperor and all the world urged him to it) to hear which Paget's heart
" frobbed." Determined upon this to go to the Admiral, upon, plea of
obtaining the passport ; but, half-way to the Court, met his man return-
ing with the passport, who said that the Admiral and duke of St. Pol
had gone to the camp and the Queen of Navarre to Tourayne. Being
thus at a stay, decided to say nothing about these bruits ; and just then
Laplanche, of whom he has written before, arrived at the inn, in post
from Mons. de Longevalle in Picardy. Invited him jto supper, intend-
ing to learn their proceedings in Flanders. Details conversation with
Laplanche, who, after describing what they had done before Antwerp,
Mechlin and Louvain, said he was sent by De Longevalle to declare
that in Picardy things were well, and the men who came to> Calais were
but to furnish the holds there ; but there was some to do for ships (which
Paget made light of) and the English had begun war with the Scots
(which Paget denied, saying that he heard privately that the Scots
ministered the occasion, and had already repented, and were suing for
treaty). He wished the marriage for Orleans had gone forward.
On St. Matthew's day, was walking in the cloister of the Grey Friars
here at Pesenas, with the ambassador of Venice, who said that on Tues-
day last, being at Court to explain certain things done at Venice against
this King, he heard that the King, the same day, had notified at table
458 34 HENRY VIII.
838. PAGET to HENRY VIII.— -cont.
that Henry was at war with him, and he had sent commission to
Brittayne, Normandy and Picardy to put ready the 300 ships there to
annoy the English, and would against next year inhibit traffic. This
was after Laplanche's arrival in the Court. While the ambassador was
talking, Laplanche came in, booted and spurred, saying that he went to
Montpeslier, but could not, in passing, forbear to salute Paget. Sus-
pecting that he came on purpose, committed the Venetian to another
ambassador who came to mass, and took Laplanche apart.
Laplanche said he was a branch of the Admiral's and minister to
Mons. d'Orleans, and knowing that all the Admiral's enemies would be
glad of war with England, thought it his part to work for the continu-
ance of the amity. He had intended to tell the Admiral of his friendly
communication with Paget, but found him absent from Court. After
declaring his commission to the King, he had spoken of England, and
the King had said that, in his affection for Henry, he had practised for
the marriage of the Dauphin, and, now of late, of Orleans (without effect,
by Henry's fault), to which he (Laplanche) had answered that if any
good was done it should be done while so good a minister as Paget was
here, who had told him (Laplanche) that these bruits were unfounded,
and that Henry would never begin war without provocation. The King
thereupon willed him to declare to Paget his affection for Henry, that
he had in prison three Normans who had done hurt to Englishmen on
the sea>, and doubted not but Henry would do like justice, and that he
was sorry for the war with the Scots, which was procured by the
Emperor and the Pope in order to gain Henry (for he had travailed these
two or three years to prevent it). Paget commended Laplanche's
honorable proceeding, and reminded him of what Henry had done for
the French king, saying that he had indeed heard a rumor that Fremeh-
men had robbed Englishmen on the sea, but he marvelled that the
French king should found his proceedings upon rumors and hearsays,
and speak, with so wide a mouth, words which Paget would be sorry
to have his master hear, howbeit he did not write all he heard, " as some
other men do, peradventure more than the truth." Laplanche answered
that perhaps his master had said Henry would make war, but it was
said with no ill intent, because the Spaniards and Flemings bragged
of Henry's amity. And here he entered the matter of the marriage,
praising Mons. d'Orleans, and suggesting that a less sum might now be
asked. Paget fed him with fair framed words as good as he brought.
He was beginning again touching the Scots when word caine that the
priest was ready to go to mass; so Paget asked him to dinner. After
dinner, he repeated his commission with the addition that the King
wished Paget to know that the Scottish king complained that Henry
went about to oppress him, and desired the French king to intervene,
who desired Paget's advice whether to write to his ambassador therein,
as he was minded to do. Replied that, if so, the Scottish king " played
the curst cat that scratted and cried," for he knew Henry would not
make war upon his nephew without occasion; but he knew not in what
terms matters stood, and was sure Francis knew how to conduct his
affairs without the advice of such a fool as he (Paget) was. " What
think you (quoth he) in it ; for of one thing you may be assured that a
king of France will never suffer a king of Scotland to be oppressed."
The words were out before he wa,s aware, and, to amend them, he
added, "than a king of England will suffer an Emperor or a French
king to be overcome one of another, but to keep them in an equality."
Asked if he compared the amity of Scotland with that of England. Had

the king of Scots showed them such benevolence as Henry had? If the
king of Scots injured Henry's subjects, to say they would not see him
oppressed was to maintain him to do injury. Laplanche said they
might not see him " totally oppressed," and would not see him do injury ;
and now that Paget said he had done injury, did he not advise them to
write to the ambassador to treat ai redress '4 Replied that he knew not
whether there was injury or war, and could say nothing, for he had nothing
to do with matters of Scotland. Laplanche said that the King wished
Paget at least to advertise Henry with dijligence.. lest some incon-
venience should intervene. Answered that he knew not how to make
diligence, for there was such restraint of post horses, and the passport
now sent him was to no purpose. He said it was the secretary's fault,
and a better should be sent to-morrow ; and so departed.
Trusts that in the above discourse he held the balance so upright that
Henry may put his foot in which side he will; and if he said anything
unadvisedly, he begsi pardon, for he is nttter to write letters of course at
home than meddle with such weighty matters. Laplanche, who is of
late made maitre d' hotel to Mons. d'Orleans, was before of mean estima-
tion in the Court, although noted witty and in favour with De Longe-
valle. He had ever great practice with Cleves, and Paget has had
intelligence by him. ttuspected whether he came from the King direct,
but now thinks he did, and that the King sent a person of small credit
on purpose ; for he has known them to vary in their sayings, as of late
the King's saying to Paget differed from that which Laubespyny
declared to Henry.
As for occurrents here, on Friday was sevennight all the captains
before Perpignan sent their opinions to the King in writing that the
town was impregnable, and next) day moved the camp nearer the sea,
their artillery toward the river, whereof were but 19 pieces out of 3^,
the rest being " clowed," dismounted or broken with shot from the town.
The Monday after, the Admiral and St. Pol arrived at the camp, and
went about the town aloof ; and, perhaps hearing of the rescues that are
coming, the camp, on Friday, retired across the river five English miles
from the town to await the coming of 8,000 lanceknights of Mons.
d'Orleans' band, the rest of which is left to guard the towns they have
taken and to reinforce Vendosme and De Longevalle. When the
lanceknights and Swiss come, we will give the Spaniards battle.
The King shows himself in words a prince ol great courage, otherwise he
would not enterprise battle any more than he did before Avignon; for
whereas 18,000 iootmen were reported to be before Perpignan, he con-
fesses that there are not in all above 15,000, and men doubt (reasons
given) the coming of the Swiss. As for the 8,000 lanceknights, Orleans
and De Longevalle together had only 10,000, whereof ;Laplanche said
on Monday that they had lent 8,500 to the Landgrave to invade the duke
of Brunswick, who is greatly distressed; and on Thursday he said they
left 2,000 to furnish Yvoy, 3,000 to furnish Luxembourg, 10,000 to
Vendosme and Dei Longevalle, and 8,000 should come hither, whereas
he said at Mountysursau that the band out of Cleves was 6,000 and that
of Mons. d'Orleans 4,000. The King is determined to redubbe this
dishonour at Perpignan by joining battle1, or else taking and fortifying
some strong town; and has taken up masons and brought in post from
Arde one " called Sainct Homey, a great doer in his fortifications there.
He is a Gascon, a short black fellow." The King says that all the
Emperor's bands are arrived and make 30,000 or 35,000 ; and yet, " to
be sure of th'encounter with th'Emperor in battle (I beseech you, sir,
to pardon mine unseemly terms, for the King spake them and worse),

he would give his daughter to be a strumpet of the bordel." Describes
the ill order kept in the camp, and sends a plat of the town, referring
explanations to bearer, who has been twice at the camp. The Spaniards
are masters of the Pertuse and the sea., and have stopped the passage of
victuals from Aygue Mortes; but we make light of it, reposing in our
chivalry. The Turk comes not, and we hear nothing of his 100,000 crs.
a month. The King demands out of hand the " tailes " which are not
leviable until Candlemas, and ha® summoned the parliaments of each
province to meet severally on 14 Nov., to provide a subsidy (described).
Guasto has burnt Villanova. De Langey has taken Cherasa, and would
have taken Villa Alba, but was beaten by the way. Guasto's lieutenant,
Cesar de Napolis, has failed to take Civas. Orleans is arrived at Court,
and has had great cheer of his father. He went to* see the camp and
returned, as Mons. de Bonevale and the Count Roussy did, sick. The
two cardinals Paget wrote of are in France, Sadolet, between this and
Avignon, coming in a horse litter. Contarini feni sick by the way and
died, and in his stead comes the Portuguese Cardinal, Vegesus, who
passed through this town on Wednesday last towards the Emperor. Men
say they might as well have tarried at home, " and yet some wise men
say they shall find this King tractable enough." It is six weeks since
anything has been written! to Rome ; and the practice with the Venetians
is dashed, for they impute the loss of their Napoli in Romania and
Malvesie, and their payment of 200,000 crs. to- this King's procurement.
The Venetian secretary in England is commissioned to declare the thing,
but Paget is sure he knows more of it, and therefore declares it briefly
as follows. The Venetians, being leagued with the Emperor against the
Turk, and being denied the assistance of Doria's galleys, sent ai gentle-
man* to treat for peace with the Turk, with two commissions, one general
(and known to the whole hundred of the Signory), the other secret
(and known only to the Ten), directing him, as a last resource, to offer
the said money and towns. When the gentleman would ha,ve opened
his general commission, " Tush, tush (quoth the Turk, at the first word),
leave off this dallying and proceed to your secret commission, promising
me, according to the same, the sum of money and the towns that you are
appointed without further delay, or else depart hence, for I will endure
no longer." Th© gentleman, considering the necessity, thereupon con-
cluded; and two years passed, until of late the Signory heard of the
Turk's said short answer, and, inquiring into the matter, found that two
of their secretaries had been corrupted by this King, and, through
Turchetto, Pierre Strosse, and Augustinus de Bonda, had declared secrets
to the French ambassador, who " advertised his master, and his master
advertised the Turk." The Signory have perceived since that the
Turk would have made peace, without the said towns, for half the
money. The one secretary escaped, the other (who had married
Turcnetto's sister) took refugje ini the ambassador's house!, where
Turchetto also was. Thei ambassador refused to deliver him, and made
resistance, but the Signory entered by force, committed the secretary,
Turchetto, and Bonda, who was Fregosa's agent, to ward, and wrote
hither for the ambassador's recal. Describes the curt audience given
to the Venetian ambassador when he went to require this, which was
"immediately upon" Paget's last despatch; and how since, when he
wished to declare the process made, and how the Stresses and Fregosaa
were all banished, the King refused him audience, and the Card, of
Ferrara>, who sought to obtain it for him, had to make an excuse that the
King had di&pleasant news out of England.

them. The Dragon lost her boat and two men, another small vessel had
to throw overboard 1 qr. of wheat, and the Mary Flower, one Gervise
master, laden deep with ordnance, grounded on the Codes, and had to
throw a brass piece overboard, where five days before the Thomas Dowtty
was totally lost. The Mary Flower hals a great leak, and is transferring

Wrote of late tha.t the footmen who served Vandosme in
Boullonoies should repair to Bullen for wages, and then lie on the Borders
about Heading, fearing the coming of the Burgundians ; and that Mons.
de Beez wais gone thitherward before. Learns now that Vandosme has
begun his camp again at Daussey, beside Dorlance, assembling all horse
a,nd foot that can be made in Picardy and Bullonoyes, and all the
Clevoiez amd Allemaygnes that were with Mons. d'Orleans, saving those
that so shamefully surrendered the town of Luxembourgh, whom the
French king has " abandoned " out of his countries. All the towns that
Mons. d'Orleans had gotten are now in the Emperor's hands, and the
Burgundians marchir.g towards these parts. It is bruited in France that
the Dolphin has gotten Perpynion, and 20,000 on both sides are slain.
Was advertised sundry ways of the late assembly De Beez made for a
course in the county of Guisnes ; and, to feel what he would say, wrote
to him that henceforth he would not trust their peace, " seeing they
would make such sudden invasions, but would ride a hawking as I halve

Have reported to the King the Commissioners' letters of the

repair to the Bordera if they agree with the Scots; remind them that
the King named them " all four or two at the least," but since the lord
Privy Seal may have business one day in another place, and should be
here to prepare for it, his former appointment being, as the King thinks,
much altered, he is to return hither, and the rest to resort to the
Borders, where, after they haive done, Mr. Browne must attend for the
king of Scots. Send ai letter for John Cary, vice-admiral, to assemble
the ships of war at such place as the Commissioners appoint. The French
are preparing ships at Havre to send into Scotland, and a Scot has con-
veyed powder and munition in ai hoy from Flanders. The King rigs
forth two more ships for the war, which shall depart in 3 or 4 days.

27 Sept. 852. CHAPUYS to the QUEEN OF HUNGARY.
[Spanish Has' received ner letters of the llth, 16th, and 19th inst. with
Calendar, the despatch addressed to Thoison d'Or, which he at once forwarded
VI. ii.. No. to Bristol, where he will doubtless still be. To-day, in pursuance of
her orders, has been to the King to give him the news of that country,
so as to induce him to grant the aid. To remove his chief excuse
— that he has no news from Spain and knows not how he stands
with the Emperor, has shown him private letters from merchants stating
that before the) 10th ult. the bp. of Westminster had taken his leave
with as favourable an answer as could be wished. After much discourse
the King showed himself glad to hear of the Emperor's successes, and had
no doubt the French would get well beaten about Perpignan if the
garrison were* not scant of provisions. As to the aid, he answered as
before, saying that if it were as the letters stated, some of his people
would have brought the news, the matter being of such importance;
and nothing Chapuys could say about the bad weather and contrary
winds prevented his complaining over and over again of the delay in
answering him, especially for the enterprise of which Mons. du Reulx
spoke to Chapuys, and that the best opportunity was lost, and it
suited him very ill to remain in suspense, not knowing how he stood with
the Emperor, while the French, taking him for the Emperor's ally, had
done mischief at Guisnes, which Du Byes lately thought of invading.
The captain of Guisnes* was incessantly desiring licence to invade the
French territory, now when the French garrisons were all gone to Dorlens
(Doullens) ; but he would not grant it till he had a good answer from
the Emperor. Things might still be arranged to the Emperor's ad-
vantage, and when that answer came an interview ought to be held
between the Queen and him.
Asked him, if it was true that Yvoix had been recovered from
the enemy, what our army ought to do next. He said they ought
ait once to march to Mazieres, and lay waste the country without stopping
before any fortified town or penetrating further into France, for the
French might give them opportunities in order to cut off their retreat.
He was sure that the French, expecting him to take the field, had made
up their minds not to put obstacles in his way till he had passed the
Somme; and he thought Vendosme, if he took the field, should be
allowed to engulf himself in the Emperor's territory, and it would not
be difficult to destroy him with the troops sent by the Queen to
Hainault. If, therefore, powers came from the Queen to treat with
him he would be glad to furnish men and money to any amount.
Got him by and by to speak about Scotland, to feel what likelihood
there was of peace or war with that country. He told Chapuys con-
fidentially that he believed there would be no war, for the Scotch am-
bassadors had already agreed to release all the prisoners, and make
some compensation for damage donei They had even agreed to ai
permanent league without reserving France, as they have always done
hitherto, and promised that their King would come to him in this city
before Christmas. The only difficulty was about hostages, about which
the ambassadors asked for two days' respite to send to Scotland, offering
meanwhile to remain themselves as hostages. The King expects
answer by Sunday next, and says that it will be greater honour for
him to achieve this than to gain a, battle. Agreed with him as to
that, provided he could only rely on the Scots, for though, now they
were alone and without add from France and the other allies, they

spoke fair, they might become more intractable later if France, Sweden,
or Denmark assisted them,. The King said that the talk of the said
league was only a brag, and when the King of Scots came hither all
would be set in order and surety. Had some further conversation on
small topics, which he has no time to report. London, 27 Sept. 1543.

27 Sept. 853. COMMISSIONERS at YORK to HENRY VIII.
W1 'fM230 Late yesternight the ambassadors received answer from their
B. M. master. Met this morning and demanded what answer they had of the
Hamilton amity and meeting. They showed two commissions, the one to treat
°^ ^'ne mee|tmgj restraining the place to York or Newcastle; the other
a power to remain in England until the articles concluded for the meeting
were performed, revoking former commissions to treat, of any peace.
Showed them, at great length, 'that since they limited the meeting
to places which Henry would never condescend to (for, after coming
to York last year and being deluded, he would surely never come
hither at this season), and their commission to treat of amity was re-
voked, although princes at breach were never wont to meet without peace
or truce first concluded, it was plain that the army must proceed in
their journey. They, being sorry the matter wais taken so hotly, offered
to agree thait their master should come to London or thereabouts. Said
that was but trifling, seeing they had no commission! to bind him ; and
at last they brought out their instructions, signed by their master and
under his signet, that., in case of sticking, they might agree to other
place than the commission named. Told them that was a warrant to
them to pass their commission, but not to us to conclude. They said
that at the meeting all should undoubtedly be concluded touching rebels
and bounds, and the amity so made that they should for no prince or
potentate living break with England. Declared to them the article in
last instructions showing how France in the last treaty left them out.*
They asserted that " at this there would be no sticking at your meeting."
Told them a treaty made at the meeting would be vain, their master
not being at liberty. They answered that their master in his own realm
might make a commission to some of his subjects to treat and conclude
amity, bearing date in his realm before he came forth, which he, at his
coming, might make more strait, and then at his return confirm ; whereas
if they sticked to conclude amity before the meeting, the whole Council
of Scotland would say What needs any meeting? Here Lannonthe said
that albeit we set so little by the instructions they declared your nephew's
inward heart, whereas the commission regarded outwardly his honor.
Asked and obtained a copy (herewith) ; and, after much debate, they said
they would despatch to their master, in all haste, for absolute commis-
sion without determining place ; and offered to lie && pledges till all were
performed, saying they thought their master would be at York about
St. Andrew's Day, and with Henry before Christmas, and desiring that
upon conclusion of the meeting the armies might be dissolved. Stuck
to have the prisoners restored first of all. They replied that im-
mediately upon the dissolving of the armies they should b© restored, and
would be restored before if Henry wrote to demand them.
They desire us to write for a commission for this meeting, as our
commission speaks of peace and truce only. They will agree that their
master shall come to London. Their Queen looks to take her chamber
about Martinmas, and after the King sees " what will come of her,"
he will set forth. They say it cannot be brought to pass that earls

lack of necessaries. Sir Thos. Wharton and others of experience in
these marches, think that, at this late season of the year, in the country
we have to enter (being barren, wild, cold and utterly ungamished with
wood) we shall lack fire to dress our victual ; for they have unthacked

their houses, intending, if we enter, either to burnt the timber or carry
it vaway. It is to be trusted that our ships may arrive in time with
bread and drink and cheese; yet when that is spent and we driven to
seethe or roast, and the men to lie on the wet ground, if we lack fire to
dry them or warm their meat, I fear it will prove a pitiful case. Assures
him that every man is willing to serve. Allowing time to bake and brew
after the ships arrived, it will be three weeks ere they can enter. John
Caries letter describes the mischance to the ship* with ordnance.

29 Sept. 862. HENRY VIII. to the COMMISSIONERS at YORK.
Has received theirs of the 27th inst., with the schedule delivered
by the Scottish ambassadors. As the Scots vary from the whole purport
of their former promises, seeking apparently to gain time, he will briefly
signify the conditions upon which the Commissioners shall arrest, and
without which they must, with God's help, go1 forward in the intended
enterprise and do, if not all that was determined at their departure!, at
least as much as seems feasible. First, the ambassadors must agree, in
writing, to deliver the prisoners in Scotland at once, before the discharge
of our army ; for otherwise they might use them as hostages to redeem
their pledges left here, and if they meanvwell they will not refuse this after
so many fair offers to send them as a present. Second, they must agree,
in writing, that their King shall repair to London before Christmas next,
"without ifs or ands of his wife" (which might minister uncertainty,
" considering the common error of women in reckoning their time "), or
of further desire to be made at his coming to York, they three and some
other nobleman (if possible) remaining as pledges. And since they will
now agree upon no amity, but refer all to their King's coming, the
pledges shall remain, after his return home, until his ratification of what
shall be agreed is sent hither.
If the ambassadors, having commission to do so, roundly agree upon
these points, you shall, upon knowledge that they have dissolved their
army, dissolve ours both by sea and land, as instructed, and the garrisons
after your repair to the Borders.
If, on the other hand, they will not fully agree, but seek new delays,
you shall assemble the whole army and set forward. And if, for lack
of victual (whereof we think that, by the time the army is assembled,
you shall have as much as. you thought necessary at your departure hence)
or because of "the extreme weather and radn that hath fallen," you

overthrowing [Lowmaben and]* all other holds thereabouts, and at the
same time furnishing forth all the ships to go to the isles of Orkney and
Shetland, and devastate the corn and cattle there, f and sending frequent

above two articles, declare how they have dissembled with us, some
honorable enterprise must be made to make them feel their fault, and
make us think your pains and our money well employed. If the journey
proceed, Suffolk must be warned to repair with speed to the Borders,

" Pleaseth your Grace," my lord of Winchester and I have received
your letters of the 27th inst., but have had no time to make a full
answer. I think the letters from Havering resolve all those doubts, save
for instructions which we thought here could not so well be given,
especially your Grace and others having the order of things at your
discretion. I and others here labour all we can that your Grace shall
not be bounden but as you think things may be accomplished. Green-
wich, Michaelmas Day at midnight.

865. COMMISSIONERS at YORK to the COUNCIL.
Have received the Council's letters of the 27th inst., declaring
that (if they agree with the .Scots) Norfolk, Durham, and Browne shall
repair to the Borders, where also Browne shall attend the King of Scots'
coming. Browne is not furnished to receive) the said King, having no
liveries for his servants other than those of white frieze with red crosses,
mostly worn with harness, nor silver vessel, nor apparel, and, as the am-
bassadors say their King will tarry until the Queem be delivered about
St. Martin's Day, and not come until St. Andrew's Day, he (Browne)
begs that he may meanwhile repair to the King for instructions, and to
furnish himself. If not, he begsi to have full instructions sent. There
is no other news of the ships than they wrote before, to their great
marvel and sorrow, the wind being now a® contrarious as possible. York,
* Cancelled.
t A cancelled passage here directs that when these exploits are done and order
is taken for the security of the Marches, Berwick and Wark, as in former instruc-
tions, all the Commissioners and Suffolk, who will have joined them, shall return to
the King, leaving Rutland, as lord warden, on the Borders with a garrison-

NORFOLK to WINCHESTER and WRIOTHESLEY.
Blames himself for not well perusing their joint instructions, and
writing as though he thought he was to accompany the King of Scots.
That folly shows his lack of remembrance, which his years will daily
increase; and, surely, it were not meet to send to convey him the man
he and his subjects love worst. Is sorry to perceive this intended
journey likely to take no such effect as he Expected. York, Michaelmas
Day, " with the hand of him that doth think himself most unhappy of
all men."

867. SIR ANTHONY BROWNE to RUSSELL and WRIOTHESLEY.
Perceives by the Council's letter received this day tha€ he shall
accompany Norfolk and Durham to the Borders, and there await the
King of Scots' coming. Has neither apparel nor plate nor other things
for such a purpose, and it will be nine weeks ere the King of Scots
comes, so that he desires leave to repair to the King and return hither
in post. York, Michaelmas Day.
Seeing that lord Asken is here ©very day served on silver, thinks that,
for the King's honor, he, as master of his Horse and captain of his
Pensioners, should be served with the same.

886 T The PRIVY COUNCIL to the COMMISSIONERS at YORK.
Have received tneir letters of Friday last. The King marvels
^a^ tne ordnance, etc., is not arrived at Berwick, but doubts not but
God will frame all things prosperously in time. As to Browne's tarrying
for the King of Scots ; when he has, with Norfolk and Durham, viewed
Berwick and Wark, and done the rest as instructed, he may return with
them to the King. And, as the King of Scots should be honorably
received, and the King intends to defray his whole charges if he come
in post, they are to consider what that charge will amount to and leave
money and appoint persons to make preparation, and three or four cart-
loads of hangings, plate, &c., shall be sent down. They shall take order
for Rutland, as lord warden, with the earls of Westmoreland and Cum-
berland, to meet him, and the two earls to accompany him to York, where
the whole Council, with lord Latymer, shall again meet him. Westmore-
land shall then return home and Cumberland, "because he is young,"
attend him to Huntingdon, where another company of noblemen shall
meet him.
Where the Scottish amba,ssadors' instructions stated that it would touch
their King's honor to come further than York ; they are to be asked why
it should touch his honor more to repair to his uncle at London than it
did to go by sea into France to the French king.

Have received theirs of 30 Sept., enclosing a letter from Sir Geo.
Laiwson, by which the King is glaid to see that the grain, etc., out of
Norfolk and Suffolk, is arrived. The King notes the behaviour of the
Scots in taking the carts from Wark, and the slackness of Car in suffer-
ing it, and would have it laid to the ambassadors which part now keeps
best promise. Hearing that they rig out at Dieppe 16 good ships, one
of 300 [tons], and the least of 80 [tons], the King has sent command to
all ports in these parts that no ships go forth until his further pleasure.
Enclose the minute that Norfolk may take like order there.

2 Oct. 890. CHAPUYS to the QUEEN OF HUNGARY.
This mo™i*ig received her letters of the 23rd inst., with the
[Spanish
Calendar. packet for the Emperor, which was forthwith sent to Bristol, to reach
I 661^°' Fallaix if possible, and, if not, to be carried into Spain by a merchant,
who is half resolved to go thither on business.
After dinner to-day, I was with the King, who said that the Almains
mentioned in your letters would be very welcome here, and he thought
you would have no great need of Almaing, at least to raise the sdege
of Parpignan, for the French, after divers losses by sallies of the
garrison and by cannon shot, halve retired, and, being repulsed from the
city of Henne and failing in an attempt against Collibre de Portevend-
rez(?), at the approach of Alva with 15,000 or 16,000 men, including the
expected succour from Italy, harve withdrawn to a little town called
Clarak, 2 or 3 leagues from Parpignan. The French king has senit for
engineers to fortify the said place, thinking either to famish Parpignan
or constrain the Emperor's army to give him battle in his strength, and
was boasting thait he desired nothing but battle, and would be content
that his only daughter should be a harlot if he might be sure that the
Emperor would give him battle; however, this King thinks, with his
ambassador in France, that the French king much more desires peace
or truce than battle, and he wondersi at the French thinking to famish
the town, with Spain at its back, when they oonfessi that the Emperor
is stronger by sea than they are. To explain affairs there, the King
gave Chapuys a map to copy and send to the Queen. The King also
said that (having heard from Antwerp' that the bp. of Westminster
was despatched from the Emperor, and that with him came certain
personages on the Emperor's part, and knowing that 14 or 15 ships
were arming in great haste at Dieppe) he intended forthwith to send
the swiftest ship here to warn them of the French ships, and to steer
for the Irish Channel. As to Scotland the King told me that the
Scottish ambassadors appeared colder since they had answer from
their master, and would not offer that their master should come further
than York, and that not before the Queen of Scots's confinement. He
will not accept these conditions, and, unless, within three days, they
speak otherwise, the English will march to their enterprise. On
Chapuys suggesting that the Scots had got wind of the ships that were
arming in Dieppe, he answered that his ships kept such good watch
that that could not be; and he supposed that the French seek only to
hurt him, and they make brags to his anibaissador, whom they keep
from approching the camp or the Court, but ai herald of his has been
at Parpignan and learnt the above news, and, moreover, that Orleans
was in that qualrter, and that a good part of the Clevois and other
lanzknechts were going thither.
This lord of Ireland called the Great Nel was yesterday created earl,
making the greatest possible homage and obeissance; and, what is
stranger, the bishops* who came with him renounced the title and pro-
vision which they had from the Pope for thedr benefices, and accepted
all from the King. London, 2 Oct. 1542.

2 Oct. 893 . , COMMISSIONERS at YORK to the COUNCIL.
Received the King's letters; and commission yesterday. Per-
ceive that if the prisoners1 in Scotland are not immediately delivered the
army is to proceed ; but nothing is heard of the shipsi of war, or of the
others with ordnance, beer, coopers' work, &c., from London, save only
of one with 300 qr. of wheat. Time will be required for the coopers to
work and for baking and brewing ; and to proceed to Newcastle before
the arrival of these things would needlessly consume tTm victual there.
Yesterday, communed with the ambassadors touching depredations by
the Kind's nauehty subjects1 of Tynedale and Riddisdale nnd the men of
Liddersdale. They said it would never be well until the two Princes
met and took order for these naughty people who, for their own safety,
do all they can to let the meeting. Perceive they have no doubt but that
their master will agree to come to such place as the King appoints, and
that the prisoners shall be delivered as soon as the capitulation is past,
but not before. Have deferred the setting forth of the army from the
llth to the 15th inst. Touching the isles of Shotlande and Orkeney ; are
informed that Shotland is so distant that Englishmen who go yearly to
Iceland dare not tarry on those coasts after St. James' tide. They must
pass through the Pentley Frith, the most dangerous1 place in Christendom,
and Scottishmen who know it best dare not venture to pass it at this
season. Orkeney is also very dangerous and full of rocks, the people live
by fishinsr and have1 little to devastate save oats and a few beasts, which
are so wild that they can only be taken by dogs. The enterprise would not
quit the 10th part of its cost, besides the danger of losing the ships, and
they dare not attempt it unless the1 Council send men to instruct them.

fear tne coming of our master's army, and will refuse nothing if it come

bastard brother, has, by advice of the bishops1 and Churchmen, re-
proached the King for his gentle offers to the King our master ; whereat
thie King, being offended, has left his Council in Edinburgh and come
to Dunbar castle. Doubts this, but the fact is that the King has been
these four days1 at Dunbar and Tantallon castles providing for their
defence. They speak of peace and provide for war, like wise men;
but they are in great fear, knowing that they cannot resist the King's
army. Begs that, if the King accepts the King of Scots and stays
this business, he and his house may be restored to their lands. His
brother desires to remind Norfolk that the laird of Drumlanrig longs
for his answer from the King. Asks when Norfolk is coming to New-

Since it appears, by- their last letters, that they hear nothing of

were long before at Skarbourgh, they are to send along the coast to search
where they be become. As the time approaches for their enterprise to be
put in ure, unless they agree with the Scots, if the King's ships are
unlike for lack of wind to reach Berwick in time they must essay whether
the munition in them may be conveyed thither by land, and if possible

In answer to theirs of the 2nd ; the King's meaning is not that
they shall press for delivery of the prisoner before they capitulate with
the ambassadors for the rest that is now to be agreed upon, but that,
after the 'conclusion, they shall be sure of the delivery before the King's
army and garrisons are discharged ; lest they make the prisoners hostages
for the ambassadors, being of more estimation and revenue than the
ambassadors. If the enterprise of the Isles is not meet for this season,
they shall devise what enterprise may be done by the navy, by a landing
about the Frith or burning the Scots' ships;; for it should be to the
King's honor to annoy them as much as possible.

R. O. His long delay in writing was for want of news. Mons. de Van-
dosme is beside Messiers with 16,000 foot and 2,000 men of arms, and
Monsi. d'Orleance was lately coming thither in post. The prince of
Orrenge and count of Bure lie within three league® of them with 50,000
foot and 6,000 horse, the axmies being separated by a great river. It
is thought that they will not join together this year. Wrote in his last
how Orrenge and De Bure won in eight days all that Orleans got in
three months. The Great Master and others say that Yvoire
still rests in French hands, howbeit the French fled in great
fear at the approach of the Emperor's army. Hears that 10,000
Almains, 10,000 Italians and some Spaniards have embarked
at Gemes for Spain; so that if the Dolphin is still jbefore
Perpignan, they will give him battle. The bruit among the
French is that he has taken it with loss of 20,000 men on both sides, as
the captain of Arde told Wallop, two- days1 ago, when he passed by him
to see the King's bulwarks in the Marresse. The captain said Moiis.
de Beez was come to Bullen and their camp would shortly break up. That
of the Burgundianis will do the like, and 10,000 Almains shall winter at
Arras, Lisle, Ayre, Bittune and St. Omer., while the Almain Clevois on
the French parts shall lie in Upper Pioardy. The Great Master of Flanders
was sent for in diligence from St. Omer four or five days past ; " who
sent me word by Mr. Vaughan, being then there, at his return would
write me of divers great matters to advertise the King a Majesty."

to solicit peace with France and the setting forth of the Council, and to
procure a reconciliation between the King of Portugal and the bishop of
Rome and himself ; but he returns unsuccessful, being neither suffered
to tatrry here nor to execute the large authority which the bishop of Rome
committed to him. The Emperor '' stomacheth " much this war, which
he attributes to the French king's reliance! on the bishop of Rome. The
Emperor's departure from Mon9on is delayed by the uncertainty whether
the French have retired to Narbone or are fortifying themselves between
Perpignan and Salsas. Much succour passes from Castilla towards Per-
pignan. As all Doria's galleys are coming from Italy and the Prince* is
sworn, some think the Emperor will go into Italy to " prevent " the Turks

Hamilton absolute commission for a meeting without restraint of place, affectionately
Papers, worded; and the delay was because of the opposition of many of their
No. 197. ]£mg's Council, who even blamed the ambassadors for desiring this
meeting. Nevertheless, their master sent them instructions restrain-
ing their commission, viz., that in their open capitulations they shall
agree to no further place than York, and not before 15 Jan., but that,
if the King could not come so far, he would come to such place as
he should desire, for example Huntingdon!, and they might bind them-
selves in articles apart that he would perform ib. They showed their
master's signed instructions to that effect, and read a letter of the
.Council. A clause at the end of the instructions forbade them to
capitulate further than their instructions allowed. We answered that
whereas, before, their commission restricted them to York and their
instructions gave them more liberty, now their commission was large, and

they were restrained by their instructions, and the liberty given by their
former instructions revoked, so that it was evident they meant no plain
dealing. And we showed our ample commission, which they liked, and
said our instructions were conformable, to treat of a meeting at London
before Christmas (which they had said they were sure their master
would agree to) and delivery of our prisoners and their remaining as
hostages; or else your army must proceed. They regretted that they
could not agree to such conditions, saying that touching the prisoners
they were referred to their first instructions, which were that, upon your
Grace's letter to their master, the, prisoners should be restored. We
said that, as commissioners instructed to capitulate for them, our
request was of more effect than a letter. They said there was no doubt
of the delivery when the meeting was agreed upon and the army dis-
solved ; but we insisted that it must be before the army was dissolved.
They said that, as for horse and gear, it was impossible to restore it,
because in the ruffle it was carried off as well by Englishmen of Tyne-
dale and Redisdale a;s by Scottishmen, but the prisoners should be
delivered without ransom. Finally they showed a letter from the Secre-
tary of Scotland, bidding them to keep to their instructions, for rather
than agree further the Council would venture battle. Had much de-
bate, in which the ambassadors protested that they had done their best,
but some of their King's Council were sore against this meeting. They
showed themselves as sorrowful men as we have seen. The division in
their Council is shown by a letter from Angus to Norfolk, sent here-
with.
Since this matter cannot take the effect looked for, we will assemble
the whole army and go forward; but, considering that the army will
not be at Newcastle until the 15th inst., we have given the ambassadors
fair words (lest upon their writing desperately the Scots should give the
first buffet) agreeing that they should write once again to their master,
and we would likewise report to your Highness, although we were sure
you would relent nothing. We offered them in writing " the points
whereat we stakke," but they said they knew them and returned the
paper with a paper of the articles they durst condescend to (enclosed),
which they said differed little from our demands. On leaving this town,
on Sunday or Monday next, we shall take them in our company in order
that they may show what answer their master sends. York, 5 Oct.

5 Oct. 908. SIR THOS. WHARTON to the COMMISSIONERS at YORK.
Since his letters by Mr. Curwen, 60 Scots, in boats, entered
Holme lordship on Monday night, 2 Oct., and burnt two houses, " amd
took two watchers and three otner, an old man they did bear away in a
sheet.'" This was done for displeasure that those persons last year
obtained a redress of the same Scots. Next night Sandy Armstraing,
Andrew Bell and 24 English and Scottish men, took 21) nolt and 5
of the Johnstons in Annerdale, '' and slew a fair gelding " and came
away without hurt. The night after, Wharton's cousin Thos. Dacre,
with Sandy Armstrang, Andrew Bell and Will the Flagon, Scottishmen,
Grames and other Englishmen to the number of 30, and six boys, set
fire in the Kirk strete of Dumfries, and have, it is thought, burnt 30
houses and much corn. They had to break a house to get fire, and
thereby aroused the town, and of the first comers in the street they
struck down five tall men, and left five broken spears in them, one of
them that Andrew Bell struck being already dead. They came away
with two prisoners "without hurt to any of the Englishmen or horse."
These borderers think that when the Commissioners are in Scotland
a forray of 400 Scots and others of the West Marches should burn
Awyke in West Tevidell, and " lay a bushment for the forray of these
marchers," the Englishmen to take their wallets, so that if the enter-
prise fail they may do another on the morrow. The time to be at the
Commissioners' command, and no let to be thereof unless the Scots
assemble such ai power as to keep these marches occupied with their
own defence.
The ga,rrison men of Scotland departed on Saturday and Sunday last
from Dumfries, to bt ready upon warning. Trusts that most of the
Liddersdelles will do good service in Scotland, and that Eskdale and
Ewesdal© will do no Englishmen displeasurej, but spoil their King's
sheep going in those countries. Has practised with other Scots, as before
the invasion he will report, and meanwhile annoys them for their burn-
ing in the King's lordship of " tholme " (the Holme). Carlisle castle,

910. COMMISSIONERS at YORK to the COUNCIL.
Have written to the King their conferences with the Scottish
ambassadors, and intend to set forward and keep the 15th inst. at
Newcastle, taking the ambassadors (who have eftsoons addressed their
herald into Scotland) with them as far as Berwick, so that if they have
news from their master they may show it. As the writers must now
go forward notwithstanding any offers, they desire ample instructions
what to accept, in case the Scots make offers between this and Berwick,
or even within Scotland. Enclose a letter from Lawson showing that
all the ships that came with John Gary irom London are arrived; but
nothing is heard of such as should bring the 850 tun> of beer. Touching
the putting ships to sea to help John Care and stopping ships from
passing beyond sea, the King's pleasure is accomplished.
P.S. — This letter was written and ready to be signed this morning
when the ambassadors cainc with a request that Layrmonthe might
repair to speak with the King his master, thinking his presence would
do more good than letters. Answered that as their commission was
to them three conjointly, the others could do nothing in his absence,
whereas if it had been as large as that of the writers the other two
might have acted in his absence. He then desired access to the King ;
and to this the writers condescended, thinking that it might let the
Scots from giving the first buffet, and that the King might protract
the time with him until the army was ready.
Have instructed Suffolk to advance and, having more men than they
need, leave at home for him all Westmoreland and Cumberland (in
margin, Kendale), and most of Northumberland and Fournes. Of
the Bishopric, they take only the earl of Westmoreland's band and
500 tenants of the bp. and church of Durham, who are now in garrison
upon the Border. Sir Thos. Wharton desires to know how to use
Dunlanricke, whose friends wish him back. It were well to let him
know what entertainment he shall have if the King will use his service.
Seeing that so many of the men of these parts are left for Suffolk,
they refer it to the Council whether he need bring with him the 3,000
men determined upon. Desire instruction in what sort the customary
defiance shall be made before their entry into Scotland. York, 6 Oct.,

Received his writings and commission this Thursday,* at 8 a.m.,
by bearer, Eos herald; and thereupon met the King his uncle's com-
missioners, who, after the commissions were read, desired to have the
meeting at Londoun, Wyndishoir or Hamptoun Court. Refused that,
but offered to conclude the meeting to be at Zork, according to
James's writings, but they would not oblige their master to come
to Zork. Offered that if the appointment was made for Zork and
James heard that his dearest uncle was " on gaitwart to warts Zork
for keping of ye day appoinctit and may not cum to Zork- wichout
hurt of his persoun," he would condescend to come to some other
convenient place. This they refused, because the writers' commission
did not authorise it, and asked for answer anent the delivering of the
prisoners. Replied that, the meeting appointed and the armies scaled,
James would send them ransom free according to the credence he sent
his uncle by Ros herald. In answer they showed their King's instructions
to desire to have the said prisoners delivered with horse and goods
ais they were taken. Said that their horse and gear could not be gotten,
for no one knew who had them. So the matter stands "upoun thir
twa poinctes," the place of meeting and the delivering of the prisoners.
Have given the said Commissioners a writing of what they would con-
descend to, copy enclosed, which is sent to their master.
The said Lieutenant and Commissioners depart on Sunday next towards
Newcastle, " and force it is us to pass with them, and causes their

to our fortunes lately in Luxembourg; amd before Perpignan, 1 know
nothing that has happened to our prejudice. In Luxembourg we have
lost no place which we wished to keep, and we still keep one which
will cost dear to recover. If they attack it they will do as little as
they did these 15 days past, when they were repulsed from an unforti-
fied chateau belonging to Mons. de Kougnac. As to Perpignan, the
King never intended to take it, but to induce the Emperor to fight
his army under Mons. le Daulphin, who still remains near it. Where
you say that you know more of the secrets of our affairs than I think,
you will find that those who informed' you that the assembly which
I made was for an inroad on your country are wicked liars.
Complaint is made to me that passage is given to the Burgundians

Chapuys asked leave [for him] to export to England from this country
certain pieces of armour. This she has refused, as harness is1 now diffi-

7 Oct. 918. CHAPUYS to the QUEEN OF HUNGARY.
The day before yesterday, after dinner, the Council sent word that
the bp. of Westminster had landed at Plymouth, having had to cast him-
self, with two of his men and his1 despatch, into a fishing-boat, because
the great ship in which he and the Sieur de Corrierez came could not
enter the port. De Courrierez, being worn (travaille) by the sea, and
the wind increasing, could not get into the boat, but was forced again
to take the sea, and is thought to have landed the same Tuesday, at
Falmouth, seven leagues thence. One of the Council has sent Chapuys
word that the bp. brought good despatch, and that the Emperor was
well, and determined next year to make a terrible meeting to the French-
men, and asisail them both in Guienne and Languedoc, notwithstanding
all that the Portuguese cardinal! could preach or say. This King has
sent Mr. Huyet and others to receive De Corrierez. Has yet no news
from De Corrierez, and is astonished that he has not sent some one.
Three days ago the King caused most of the ships here to be arrested,
thait he might make use of them, or at least of the mariners, as he heard
that in Dieppe there was some diligent arming, and that some of the
mien of war who were in Picatrdy had come down thither. The King
suspects that the said army is preparing1 for the help of the Scots, with
whom he still continues the practice of peace, which Chapuys thinks thait
the Scots prolong in order to gain time, expecting either help from
France or that winter may end the seaison for war, and afterwards will
turn the matter into a jest (se gaudiront de Ja oompagnie). Wishes
that there was some good and sure peace between them, that the King
might make the greater effort against the French. Presumes that she
knows of the preparation of the said army at Dieppe, and has provided
against its harming the Low Countries. London, 7 Oct. 1542.

what they thought was the weakest place of this house. In taking this
I sware each man to keep closet what I would examine him of.
Sir Roland Prate, Geo. Selbe, and 28 others (named) all agree that
the utter ward is not sure, but the inner ward is unwinnable. John Coke
says the utter ward may be stolen by a company of men coming up from
the water side by the Monk's/ well and the east end of the dungeon to a
" howlle den that is without the wall betwixt the dungeon and Sanders
Tower, from which they might with ladders come over the wall into the
stackyard, and then with ladders come over Clapam's Tower into the inner
ward, because the watch was kept on the other side of the house. (But
that is not true, for one stands nightly on Clapam'si Tower, except he
walk thence at times to the Hall leads.) He also says that men might
come up from the water side to the kitchen sink hole, break it wider and
come in ; but there is no danger to the inner ward except by these two
means1.

In their letters of the 5th inst. the King notes the accustomed
dissimulation of the Scottish ambassadors ; and he much allows the Com-
missioners' determination to proceed, not doubting but this journey shall
cause the King of Scots to be displeased with those who hindered his
acceptation of the offers of peace. In spite of the King's natural inclina-
tion to avoid war with his nephew, considering the preparations and the
necessity for some notable exploit to purge the dishonour which the Scots
bruit, of this realm (viz., that Bowes and his men, being far greater in
number, durst not abide to encounter the Scots), will have them accept
no conditions1 until they have done some such exploit. After that, if the
Scots make offers greater than those to which the King has written that
he would condescend, and the Commissioners think that the enterprise
cannot with advantage be pushed to extremity, they may embrace them,
at their discretion. Two points the King insists upon: — (1) that they
hearken to no conditions until a notable exploit is done, and (2) that
they admit no less conditions than already required, but rather better,
such as pledges of more reputation or the bringing hack, with the
pledges, of Bowes and the rest with horse and gear. Wish them success.
Greenwich, 8 Oct.
P.S. — Considering that the war is, by incourses on the Scots' side, open,
and that the prisoners in Scotland are not put to ransom, and that the
communication with the ambassadors has1 " supplied the nature of an
indiction," the King thinks a formal indiction unnecessary ; and yet, for
declaration of the matter to the world, a proclamation shall be here
devised. As for lord Donlanrick, the King would know, by George
Douglas or otherwise, what he expects.

The Frenchmen are aggrieved that we receive and buy booty
taken by the Burgundiatns. My lord) Deputy of Calais and I have
answered them that if Flanders lay for their purpose as Boullonoyes
does for the Burgundians, we should use them likewise, and, to prove
it, they should make ai course to Bourbroughe or Gravelingea Sent that
answer to De Beez, who wrote to him yesterday, and seems not pleased
with aJ letter of his, mentioning the Dolphin's loss before Perpignan, and
that Orleans had lost in eight days what cost him three months to take,
and touching his own assembly made to overrun the Pale. Encloses
his letter, received on Sunday afternoon. The same morning, Mons. St.
Chevall sent one with a passport desiring to know whether they might
bring ai booty taken in Bredenard hither to sell. Replied that they
might " with right good will," and sent horsemen to the border of the
Pale to escort it; but after a little delay answer caime that the booty
was sold within Arde. Reckons here was no booty, but that the matter
was only to prove what he would do. Points out that in the passport
St. Chevall "writeth a great style," touching the county of Guisnes, in
comparison with the style which De Beez always gives Wallop.
Heard, the same afternoon, that a general muster of the footmen of
the Boullonoies should be taken next day ait Marguyson. Sent out
espials, who report that, the muster was only to set' order in the country ;
that 700 men were there with weaipons and 300 without, to whom De
Beez gave order to be ready to wait upon such captains as he would
appoint, to make turnpikes in every villalge, to provide each man hose
of his captain's colours, and each village to send a sufficient personage
this week for further instructions. Sent also two of his horsemen to De
Beez to complain of evil treatment by his men two days past, one of
them having been put in danger of life, atnd the other's wife beaten in
her own house, De Beez prayed them to tarry till he had taken the
musters, and meanwhile see if they could find any of the offenders. They
found one, who was sent prisoner to Bullen. De Beez, with his com-
mendations, sent word by the horsemen thaty in future, if the
Burgundians came to take booty they should be pursued as far as the

StRp°ix., Halving received from the Council al letter, dated Havering, in-
192. structing him to proceed with the Admiral upon the words used to his
clerk, touching the arrest of their ships, took occasion of access to the
Admiral. Describes the conversation ; which he began by saying thait
in his affection for thf* continuance of the amity, he had sent into Eng-
land to enquire of the matter, and say that the Admiral thought the
usage of their subjects strange; and sio declared word for word as
prescribed in the said letter. The Admiral replied that he was sure
of Henry's affection for his master, in spite of the bruits in Flanders
and Spain that he had joined the Emperor, concluding marriage
and lending him money and being his host; for himself, he
honoured Henry next to his own master as their best ally,
and the most gentle and bounteous prince he ever knew; as
to the ships, it was right that pirates5 should be punished,
and he himself had arrested certain Normans, whose process should be
made ; when he first heard (from merchants rather than from the am-
bassador, who wrote least of it) that their ships were unjustly detained,
he had indeed spoken somewhat roundly ; but these were trifles, and he
was always ready to do what he could to increase the amity, by alliance,
" sang " or otherwise ; they were as ready to treat as ever, and, although
sorry to hear of business between Henry and the Scots, they would not
meddle. Paget answered thait their affection was well employed, for the
world knew how Henry had declared his affection for them, and now,
if it was less regarded, their approved friends might feel uncertain, as
well as their new confederates, like Denmark and Sweden ; in his affec-
tion for the Admiral, as a friend of his maister, he was apprehensive,
seeing this Court divided, — the Queen of Natvarre, Mons. d'Orleans,
Madame d'Estampes and he against the Queen, Dolphin, Constable and
almost all the Cardinals : here was Sadolete come to practise, and if his
practise went forward, as men hoped, the Queen of Navarre and Mons.
d'Orleans must " hold in," and, as for Madame d'Estainpes and him,
what would be the end? Even now men were saying his1 sickness w?.s
due to perplexity. The Admiral, rousing himself and thanking Paget
very heartily, said men in his position must have enemieg, but if a
man meant well the end must be good, and as for the Cardinals, he
" set not by them a point " (and here he dispraised the bp. of Rome) ;
they were " desired to peace with some appearance of honest condi-
tions." Paget replied, that was not the first offer, and he prayed God
that the broker between them might not make both to lose and take
the gaini himself. " Par le corps Dieu, il est ung fin compaignon," said
the Admiral, laughing, and so dismissed him,

935. PAGET to HENRY VIII.— cont.
Would not reply to what the Admiral said about the amity, alliance,
" sang," and readiness to treat ; but mentioned Sadolet in order to cast
a bone in his way. Begs pardon if he committed faults which a wiser
man might have avoided.
Wrote by Hammes that the army was retired to Clarac and the duke
of Alva before the Fertilise, and that the French boasted that they would
give battle if the Emperor would abide it. Describes how the army is
now dispersed into garrisons, and the Dolphin expected here, what
trouble has been with the Swiss mercenaries (who refuse to do more than
defend), the King's review of their numbers and the withdrawal of the
workmen from Clarac to the fortification of Narbona. The sudden
departing of the camp is1 said to be for f eair of inundation, but is rather
because of scarcity, which is increased by the disaffection of the people,
who are rather Catalonish than French. The King lays all blame upon
himself. He went not to the camp but to Narbona, where he stayed two
days and then came here, where he ha,s been a se'nnight. He has sent
to Lyons for the card, of Turnon and the new Chancellor, and will tarry
hereabouts until he sees what way the Emperor will take ; and will then
go to Lyons if the Emperor go to Italy, or, if the Emperor go towards
Bayone, he will go into Gascoyn, and so by Xaintonge, Limousin, and
Brittayn to Picardy. Describes how the French boast that if that way
had. been taken this year they would have mastered all the Low Country,
and how the King has boasted at supper that he would chastise the
Emperor and send Orleans to make war in Tuscany, and that he had sent
SOT John Paulo and other captains into Italy to levy men. He has given
Sadolet the bpric. of Macon, and travails with the Bishop of Rome both
to win him and appease the Venetians ; so that, by the Legate's appoint^
ment, the Venetian ambassador, the Legate and the Admiral have had a
long conference. For the Bishop's share the King offers the realm of
Naples. Sor John Paulo went to Italy long before the camp was raised,
and men think he will never recover from hisi sickness, " il mal Franchese."
The bands of Italians and Gascons have quarrelled over a booty, and 80
of the latter are slain. While the camp was at Clarac 3,500 foot and
400 horse entered Perpignan, passing within an English mile of Mons.
de Thermes, captain general of the horsemen in Piedmont, who had been
sent with 1,000 horse to intercept them. It is supposed that De Thermes
and his men were asleep. Since the camp departed, 2,000 more have
entered, and the townsmen return to their mysteries. The French say
the Emperor will retire for want of victual. A courier from the Legate in
Spain brought word yesterday that the Emperor's navy of 52 gallevs waits
at Maillorque for the Emperor, who returns into Italy a,nd goes thence to
Almain to borrow " sould " for 20,000 men ; and so come to Flanders, to
marry Henry's daughter and join him against France. Knows that
Francis expects Henry to make war on him next year, and that he has
said that if matters go well with the Emperor, he will let Henry know-
next year that he has " not well done this year." To-day he despatched
one to Denmark and Sweden, to put them in readiness against England
next year, and one to Almain, to provide lanceknights.
Guasto ha.s at last caused Mons. de Langey "to cry creeke," and is
master of the campaign, havinsr taken Susa; and Gase on the Pan, within
five miles of Turin, put Turin itself in danger, and overrun the country
almost to Grenoble. The Venetians have executed " a great sort of gentle-
men," among them one of their secretaries, AusTistinus de Bonda and one
gor Vailery, who had an abbey by Sens in Boureoyn, and is here much
lamented. Wrote before that Turchetto was in hold ; but the ambassador
34 fiEN&Y VIII. 583

of Ferrare, who came hither yesterday, for certain practises, says Tur-
chetto has escaped to Mirandula, and that the secretary who escaped (as
Paget wrote) was in hold at a town of the Bishop of Rome's called Fohni.
Learns secretly that the duke of Ferrare is French in heart, and has sent
munitions to Mar an, and that the Venetians suspect him. Encloses a
letter from Melvil, that the King may " see a beginning." Frater
Dionysius,* generaiis ordinis Servorum, and cardinal! de Sancto MarceiLo,
whom Henry knew by writing (for he was on his side in his great cause
at Rome), is dead, and his brother, Frater Bernardmus, a cordelier,
esteemed above all in Rome for learning, virtue and prea,ching, is fled
to Germany and professes himself " one of theirs." " These two legates "f
have as yet only felt the inclination of " these princes," of whom the
Emperor is said to be the stift'er. The Admiral is very sickly and not like
to live long. This day when talking with the King ne fell in a swoon.

B. O. Wrote 27 Sept. Letters from Constantinople certify that the
Turk was come to Andrinopoli, anxious for the things, of Hungary, hearing
of the great host ol Christian men converted to the oppugnation of Buda
and of Pest, which is not abandoned, as was reported, but defended by
10,000 Turks. Soliman, bassa of Egypt, is sent towards Hungary witfc
20,000 horse and 4,000 janissaries; and there is great preparation to
contend with the Almains and much diligence about the naval works.
There is always mention that the Turk demands the duke of Orleans for
hostage of his navy. Polin, the French ambassador, is well entertained
by the Turk. Doria is gone from Geane with 40 galleys, against
Provence. The Imperials have put 3,000 footmen in Parpignan, although
the French have often divulged the taking of it. Guasto has taken many
towns, and is largely superior in the fleld. The Imperial ambassador has
required passage for 10,000 men, of whom 4,000 are on the way to Milan.
This argues that the Emperor will make some great " esforse ;/ in Italy.
Here is continual mention of the General Council to be kept at Trent.
The Bishop of Rome has deputed three cardinals! and two bps. to make
preparation there, and Ferdinando has written to the Signory for victuals
for the Council ; " whereat the Signory could not abstain laughing of
such vain matters with th' Imperial orator who delivered the said letters
to the Signory concerning the request of the victuals." The Ahnains
have protested that if the Council be not kept at Trent at the time
appointed they will make a Council provincial. The secretary Cavatza
is now in Rome, by the Bishop's command, and so out of these men's
peril. Mafio Leon, who was banished for the late crime, is dead in
Bononye. No others are yet discovered, but divers of the great are
suspected, and the investigation proceeds rigorously, as is necessary in so

938. The PRIVY COUNCIL to WALLOP.
Have declared his letter of the (blank) inst. to the King.
Where you write that Mons. de Bies is determined to follow any booty
taken by the Burgundians up to the " hard gates ;; of Guysnes or Newne-
ham Bridge, the King desires you to1 remind him, friendly, that he has
charge under his [master] as you have under yours, who would perhaps
not be content ; and that the King, as am equal friend to [both,j reckons
that his dominions ought to be a sanctuary to both [sidejs, and to permit
such liberty to the one party might lead to inconveniences ; amd pray him
to observe " neighbourhood " and neutrality. If he attempt to execute
his determination, Wallop shall welcome his men as he pro-poses, and
put them in some fear to> attempt it again..

939. COMMISSIONERS in the NORTH to the COUNCIL.
Yesterday, received theirs of the, 8th. Arrived here yesternight,
and Norfolk departs for Berwick on Saturday ; to put things in order,
against the arrival of the army, to invade Scotland on Friday or Satur-
day come sevennight. After they have done such displeasure to the
enemies as they intend, it is not to be thought that they will offer accept-
able conditions, but rather try to devastate Northumberland. Desire
therefore to know who shall be warden to defend the Marches after their
return, and what number he shall have, and that the King may send
them letters and commission addressed to him for that purpose before
Sunday come sevennight, when they trust to be so far into Scotland that
letters cannot safely reach them. It is to be considered that an army
sore travelled and setting the head homewards will hardly be stayed
unless appointed before to tarry. Send a cipher in which to send news out
of Scotland, which also they will leaive with Suffolk, Evre, and Wharton.
Can get but two ships of sufficient burden to go to the seas to John Care,
viz., one of this town belonging to Jas. Lawson and one of Orwell, of
which Sabyn is owner. Newcastle, 12 Oct., 7 p.m. Signed by Norfolk,

Begs their intercession with the King, when the time comes, not
to name him warden of the Marches ; for, in his old age, the winter here
would kill him. Would rather lose the small substance of goods he has
than lie this winter in any hou.se on this side Dankaster, save only
Lekenfeld, " where the air is nothing so vehemently cold as it is here/'
About 20 years past, was, the King's lieutenant here when the Marquis
of Dorset wasi warden of the Marches, who, when the winter came, was
discharged and Norfolk charged with both offices. *
My lord Privy Seal has been ill these eight or nine days, and came
hither this day in a litter. The fear of not being able to serve this
journey troubles him ; and I would rather have an arm broken than miss
his company, "for without him and his brotherf I were all naked."

12 Oct. 941. SIR THOMAS SEYMOUR to HENRY VIII.
The siege being levied from before Pest, 7 Oct., and the army
preparing to return, left it next day and arrived here on the llth, where
he received Henry's letter, dated Westm. 29 Aug., concerning Baron
Hedyke, the captains, drums and fifes, kettle-drums and his return.
Perceiving that other letters for him from England have gone on to the
camp, waits here for them and has senit at man thither to provide the
drums and fifes and to appoint a meeting with Baron Hedyke
if still in the camp. If not, will follow him to his house, and,
by the way, enquire for kettle-drums; for in the •camp were only
two', one with the Hungarians and the other with the General. On the
5th inst., after battering a breach, they assaulted Pest, but failed ; and
afterwards, for lack of wages, the soldiers refused to keep watch and
ward or to make assault. The Almains will leave garrisons and be in
Veyene by March next. The King of Hungary will orown his eldest son
king of Hungary and remain henceforth in Almain. He will shortly
hence to Norenberge, to treat this matter with the Empire.* Vayena,

13 Oct. 942. HENRY VIII. to the COMMISSIONERS in the NORTH.
Mr. James Leyrmonth, late ambassador from the King of Scots,
arriving at Greenwich on Monday last, made great suit for access to the
King's presence ; but, as he had no new letters nor commission from his
master, he was, after two days' suspense, finally referred to the Council,
who made him plain and particular recapitulation of their (the Scots')
unfriendly proceedings, their provocations of this war, and the lack of
that affection which his master, both by letters and by him, had pro-
tested ; which lack largely appeared by his last instructions restraining
the meeting place to York when the commission was absolute. The
Council then remitted him to the Commissioners, as fully instructed.
From this ungentle proceeding of the King of Scots, it is evident that
he has no such affection for the King as he has declared, and any offer
he may make to come to a meeting will proceed rather of constraint than
love. The Commissioners shall, therefore, after an exploit done, not
appoint with him unless he presently after the said exploit (1) deliver
the prisoners and (2) conclude amity leaving out the reservation of
France, (3) send three personages of honor to lie here for a year after
the amity is ratified, and (4) renounce his usurpation of the King's lands.
After that, if he offer to come to the King, order is to be taken for his
honorable entertainment by the way, and for the dissolving of the army
and stay of the Borders.

tary to say that, the letters being directed to them three jointly, they
durst not open them until their fellow's* coming, whom they looked for
hourly. Tke Council can judge their meaning; considering that Jttosse
says that there arrived in the £rith, on Thursday last, 16 sail of French-
men laden with wine, which are probably the ships rigged at Dieppe.
They were seen to pass Tynmowthe lately, and Suffolk writes, on the 12th
inst., that divers such ships of war of France were off Hull and Scar-
borough. John Browne, captain of the wafters of the ships sent from
London, came into this haven although we wrote to him from York to
go to John Care at Holy Elande. With this wind neither he nor Care
at Holy Elande can get out; and the French ships came so far off that
he saw them not. Jennyns reports that all their ships of war have only
victuals for 15 days. Here they oannot be furmsned except by those
who came with John Browne. Have written to Stannop to help them from
Hull. Jennyns complains that the ordnance sent from London broke
when it came to be shot, and that for 120 men there came scant 60
harness. Marvel that the ships of war which, the Council wrote, should
come from London, are not come ; since the wind that brought the French
navy might well have brought them. My lord Privy Seai is past know-
ledge, " but, thanked be God, I, the bp. of Duresme, did shrive him this
morning and gave him his rights, and found him as good a Christian
man as ever I saw in my life."
Intended to go to Edinburgh and there be re-victualled ooit of the ships,
but now it will be hard to overcome their fleet thus reinforced with 16
sail from France. Will, however, rig out six or seven ships here to go
with the ships of war to seek the enemies in the Frith, and will enter
Scotland on Friday next; and even if victuals will not serve as far as
Edinburgh " we will make such a smoke as shall not be clawed of many
years." Norfolk departs to-morrow towards Berwick, Browne follows with
the army, and Durham awaits here the coming, of Suffolk. John Care
" has so wisely used himself that, for the lack of victual, he hath driven
all his men to eat and drink but only two times in the day, which hath
not been accustomed to mariners." Newcastle, 14 Oct., 6 p.m.
P.S. — The two ambassadors have essayed to protract the army's setting
forth until their fellow's coming. They are to remain here until Lere"
monthe comes ; and Durham with them, not for their sakes, but to await
my lord of Suffolk. Their herald who reported the coming of the 16 sail
of Frenchmen now says that none were come on Thursday last, and that
he heard it in England. They still trust that Leremonthe shall bring
such news that peace shall ensue. Signed by Norfolk, Durham, and

17 Oct. 960. [LORD MALTRAVERS to Du BIES.]
R> °- On the 15th inst. the captain of Fiennes, with 100 men of his
band, pursued certain Burgundians who had taken a booty into our
ground and attacked them there, a thing which seems to me very
strange, arrogant and presumptuous. Perceiving it, Mons. de Grey,
captain of Hampnes castle, sent out men to take both parties, and
has taken eighteen of yours whom he purposes to keep until he knows
the King's pleasure. Being examined, they said you gave them charge
to pursue booties up to the very gates of these fortresses, which I

the Emperor and your King, reputes his country free to both.
Hearing, these days past, that the captain of Gravelines had taken
Frenchmen within my master's territory, I wrote to him to send them
to me ; and he wrote back that your men had similarly taken Burgun-
dians whom you refused to release, saying that even if your men had
taken them within the town of Calais they should have been good
prize. Still, the captain promised to send the said prisoners ; wherefore
I pray you, Mons. le Mareschal, send me the Burgundians whom you

find marvellously strange. I think your King does not intend you to
make war on us without other declaration, and that you would not
wish to be the cause of a breach of the amity between our masters,

The day before yesterday, 16th* inst., we were with the King,
who (having, upon the letters of credence, heard the declaration of
the Emperor's reciprocal inclination for the closer amity and intelli-
gence), told us that it did not lie with him that it was not concluded
heretofore, and that he was astonished at the delay made therein, but
still more at some difficulties and little scruples put forward by the
Emperor, to the hindrance of so important a work, especially in the
article of rebels and in. the expression of ecclesiastics in the article
of defence; and that a reformation of amities should be complete and
absolute, and so clear and definite that there could remain no ground
for misinterpretation. In reply we showed briefly the Emperor s reasons,
without, however, entering any dispute, as it seemed best (not to
irritate him) to debate them with his Council ; and, besides, Chapuys
had, three days before, had a long interview with him, having been
called, as a friend and not as an ambassador, to hear his laments at the
said difficulties. Finally, after enquiring of the Emperor's health, and
telling us of the success of the Emperor's army in Juliers, and other
34 HEKRY VIII.
1542.
things, which De Courierez will recount by mouth together with the
honor paid him here, the King resolved to send deputies to us.
These deputies dined with us yesterday, viz., the bps. of Winchester
and Westminster,- and Secretary Wriothesley, and afterwards we dis-
cussed the difficulties given in writing, in Spain,* to the King's
ambassadors. When we had repeated the representations made on the
Emperor's behalf to the ambassadors in Spain, and added such as we
could think of, they began by showing that they much feared that their
master might take it ill, and that all might be broken. Afterwards,
in conversation, they seemed to fincU a little more reasonableness in the
excuse concerning the Pope than in that which touched hantize^and
rebels ; but they did not say much, perhaps, because thev knew not how
to answer, or in order to learn first their master's resolute intention, of
which thev are to certify us to-day. Tn truth, we know not well what
to hope from the countenance and speech of the King, and it is to
be feared that he may grow cold rather than shorten the business;
and we wish the bargaining might be made with your Majesty, but
fear that the English, both for reputation and for other respects, would
not condescend thereto. Since our charge depends entirely upon your
command, we beig to know as soon as possible how to proceed in the
other articles not expressly reserved by the Emperor, and whether
to press for the remission of the conclusion of the treaty to you or
to temporize. The King, who used continually to talk of reconciling
the duke of Cleves with the Emperor, has said nothing of it, but showed
pleasure at the Emperor's success against the Duke. There is no other
news, especially of the affairs of Scotland, save that the lord Privy
Seal is dead of the plague, in the North, which is a great loss, for he
was a wise and prudent personage, and most devoted to the Emperor's
service. London, 18 Oct. 1542.

[Spanish Since they wrote this morning, the King has sent to excuse his
Calendar, VI. deputies for to-day, owing: to important affairs ; and has sent more news
n.. o. 70. J from hig ambassador resident in France, not to be revealed as obtained
from him. The effect is that the French had quitei withdrawn from
Parpignan and the county of Rosillon, after fortifying some unimportant
places there, pretending that they retreated for want of victuals ; and
that, shortly before their retreat, Alva sent 3,000 men into Parpignan,
to stop whom the French king: sent a great force, but they dared not
approach the said Spaniards. The French king would stay at Narbonne,
to see if the Emperor would march his army into Languedoc. If the
Emperor passed into Italy, the King would pro- to Lyons ; and if he should
invade France bv Navarre, the King would go* to that side, ancT then to
Sanctonge and Breta,gne, to collect ships for the enterprise of the Low
Countries. Next spring: he would enter the Low Countries on the side
of Picardy, with all his forces, and was marvellously sorry that this year
he had not made his effort there. The Swiss have returned not too
satisfied with the King, and he still less with them, because when levied
they understood that they were for the defence of France and not to
invade the Emperor. John Paul Ursin and other Italian captains are
gone to raise a great force in Italy for the coming: vear, and to make
practices there. The French kino: was tempting; the Po'pe with the offer

had great communication with the Admiral and other ministers. The
French king has also sent a person to Germany, to practise and to raise

Signify the state of the army, which will be all here to-morrow, and
will lie to-morrow night in the field. Norfolk's orders1 that with every
100 men there should come two carts laden with drink, and with every
10 men a spare horse with victual, have been ignored by all ; who say it
was impossible, and that the carriages they did bring were destroyed by
the foul ways and weather. In spite of his orders that no horse should
come past Newcastle but such as would servei for a spear, javelin or
archer, all have come on naughty nags, saying they could not travel on
foot and keep the day. When at York, commanded the President to
send 120 wains and 40 carts, and 30 wains out of the Bishopric; and
the sheriff of Northumberland to send all the wains he could get ; but
very few are come. For all that, and though they should drink water,
they trust to make the enemies speak according to the King's pleasure, or
else to make such a smoke in Scotland as was not seen this 100 years.
The soldiers have taken incredible pains in coming, through foul ways
and scarcity of victual, and here Rutland's lying so' long in garrison has
consumed everything, and the corn is yet on the ground, green. On
Saturday or Sunday the ships of war sent from London, with the four
others they manned at Newcastle, shall be in the Frith. The French

On Sunday last, 17 or 18 Burgundians took a booty beside Lander-
ton. The Frenchmen pursued them into the Pale as far as Sentergates,
where they recovered the booty, and continued to follow the Burgundians
into the Marres beside Hams, where they (the! French) were taken; as
both lord Graey and the Council of Calais; will have reported. The
governor of Feynes was brought to Wallop, who demanded why he entered
with force of arms into ih& Pale, which was a franchise for both sides. He
said he reckoned the Pale indifferent, and that they might follow their
enemies in it, for most of their sheep of Faynesi pastured on the hills
adjoining the Pale, so that any Burgundian might' convey their cattle
into the Pale. And he asked, " Shall it then be good prize 1 " Wallop said
it would, and they might do the like. He confessed that he had com-
mand from Mons. de Bese to follow the Burgundians " parto'ut jux alefort
lewse " ; Captain Cabuche, whom he sent to recall the footmen out of
the Marres, was saluted with ordnance and constrained to retire.
Explains that although lord Graey took the footmen, he (Wallop) durst
not detain this captain, because he had not then received the Council's
answer how to act in such cases, and feared that the taking of such a
man would lead to the French overrunning the Pale and taking revenge
upon the workmen in the chalk pits. Would have saluted them with
ordnance if they had come near Guisnes. Within an hour after, received
the Council's letter, from which he gathers that he is not to do more
than salute them as above. Sent the letter next day to the lord Deputy,
lord Graey, and the rest of the Council ; and, the day after, wrote to
Mons. de Bese. Encloses his answer, which does not answer all points
of Wallop's letter. He had also a long discourse with the bearer Geynes,
who can declare it.
Mons. de Guyse, with the Clevoys, has won again Verton and Villers
in Luxingbroke, which were recovered by the prince of Orynge who
now lies beside Nameur. The Dolphyn is retired from Purpenyon to
Narbon, and the French king to Mompelyr.

The earl of Hereford (sic) and Sir John Gage arrived yesternight
at 11 o'clock. Norfolk's orders to the men to bring beer and victuals,
and to the President to provide carts and wains, were not followed. The
beer and biscuit sent from London in small ships has1 been brought in
here and delivered out, the rest is at Holy Elande, the wind being con-
trary and the ships too great to enter this haven. The carriages of this
. country are so feeble that they cannot carry more tham one pipe eaoh.
The men drank water four days hitherward. Yesterday they had beer,
of which, rating every man to a quart a day, there is only enough for six
days. Wrote that they purposed to camp on Friday last, but the bridge
into this town proved so weak that it broke with the multitude of people,
and all were not over till yesterday, five men being drowned and many
sore hurt. The great 'enterprise is not feasible, for lack of victuals.
Trust the King shall shortly hear of some exploit by the ships in the
Frith, and, meanwhile, the writers will do what they can for six days,
and three days more, although they drink water. The King writes that
he will appoint a warden in time convenient; but surely there is no

Wrote on the 10th inst. That Henry has made a 100,000 men
against the Scots, with such celerity, is the admiration of all men ; who
are persuaded that he will be victorious, being that Henry VIII. who
overcame, at one time, both France' and the Scots, " with the slaughter
of their King, of their chief nobility, and of their best men of war,
whereby the Scottish pride was so ' domid ' that nother in courage nor
might is remained any great moment in that rude nation." Now that
the Scots can get no help from France, the writer hopes that Henry will
reduce Scotland under his " regal empire."
The Marquis of Guasto has sent to Milan for eight double cannon, to
use against strong towns in Piedmont, where he finds no " rescontre " in
the fields. These 4,000 men out of Almain will increase his host, which

is not numerous, but very good. In Hungary all the Christian power
"was" converted against Pest. There have been many skirmishes, in
which the Christians were always superior. The Turk is in Andrinopoli,
observing the success of the things in Hungary. The Turks seem to have
no fear for Buda, but great doubt of Pest. Thei Turk makes great pre-
paration for n'ext year.
Encloses a letter from Count Ludovico> Rangon, who much desires to
serve against the Soots and to bring a good company of men intelligent
in war. Hears that he praises thei King above all men; and Harvel
knows that he is of noble and real nature and tried courage. For two
days, it wasi here thought that the bp. of Rome was dead, but letters of
the 15th inst. from Rome disprove it, and relate that the Bishop is gone
to fortify Ostia and Civitaveica against the Turks. Parpignan is well
defended, and the Emperor very courageous for war, having refused
audience to the Bishop's legate, who came to negociate between him and
the French king. Venice, 22 Oct. 1542.

•Baker, Dacresi. Business: — Information exhibited by Baldwin Smith
against Sholton, Holland, Hampshire, and others*, searchers of London,
and committed to the clerk of the Council to< examine.
26 Oct. 987. HENRY VIII. to NORFOLK and OTHERS.
Has seen theirs, of the 22nd, to the Council, showing that, for
lack of carriages and other necessaries, they cannot achieve the great
enterprise, but will tarry nine days; in Scotland and expect the navy to
do some good exploit in the Frith; and also desiring nomination of a
warden to remain on the Borders. Is sorry that, through these lacks,
with all their good will to serve and the great charge incurred, the
damage to the enemies is like to be so little. Marvels at their writing
that lack of carriage is the whole impediment; for he thinks that on
coming to York, or before, they should have stayed the King's works in
that country, and allowed the carriage to refresh themselves, and should
have taken with them all the carriages! of Yorkshire, Holderness, and
Hullshire.* They might have devised or even yet take order for
Suffolk to prepare other carriages with victual behind, to be despatched
under escort to a place appointed, where the old " caske " might have
been received back for a " farther renewing," if necessary. The
Scots could not hinder this,, unless1 they assembled an army between
the main army with Norfolk and the army on the Borders with Suffolk.
Suffolk's army might well devastate the country without delaying the
main army to do it. Desires them to excogitate whether by this or other
device they may augment the fame of their enterprise; for it will be
rather to the glory of the Boots if, after levying so great armiesi and
incurring so importable charges, they do no greater damage than is like
to ensue of their last determination. Must better foresee all things here-
after, and for this tim'd accepts their good will in lieu of the thing he
desired.
(2) Knowing Hertford's desire to serve, and thinking it not amiss to
have sundry noblemen acquainted with those Borders, appoints him,
whom he has lately named to be Admiral of England, tot be warden of the
Marches, during pleasure. Sends his commission herewith. He shall
have 5 marks a day, as Rutland had ; and Norfolk and Suffolk, with the
advice of the rest of the King's Council there, shall appoint a number
of the army and garrison to remain on the Borders with him this winter.
They must also, before returning, put the Borders in good order and
punish malefactors according to former instructions:. As the lacks which
now hinder the King's purpose have chanced upon things which should
have been provided there, and next year it will be necessary to follow what
is now commenced, Norfolk and Suffolk shall take order against next
year for provision of victuals and carriages.
* This sentence is in Henry VIII.'s hand.

' B. M. from the King of Scots to hasten with all the power he could make to the
Hamilton East Marches. If he does, it is thought that they will fight on Sunday
No. 22<M1). or Monday next. Another espial said that all the tried men of the West
Marches and Ledesdale were this 26th day commanded to await Maxwell
at Selbrygg, three miles from Mures,* and that Maxwell's son Robert,
with the lairds of Homehendes and Gretnowe, should lie on the West
Marches " for countenance." This espial says that on the 25th the army
lay at Home Castle, and thinks, by the sound of the guns, which was
heard in Ledesdale, that they won it. As we wrote before, all the North-
landes men lay Tuesday night in Lawderdale, and the earl of Huntley
and lord Flemyng repaired to them from Jedworthe.
Dond Nyxson, Scottishman, who was semt to Edinburgh, brought
news "the last Wednesday ait night," that on Tuesday, the 24th,
proclamation was there made for all men to go forward and they
should have 4£. Scottish, which is 20s. sb., the monith, and all they
could win. He slays the King never rests, and that he saw him and many
bishops that day at the hill of Edinburgh castle, at 10 a.m. ; where were
many oxen for carriage of ordnance standing there, but none had then
set forward. Many carriages with victuals, spears, and axes were going
that day to Haddington. The opinion is that they will fight, and that
Huntl'ey, lieutenant, shall have the vaward, for which there is great
dissension between him and Murray". Huntley will have with him the
earls of Ergylle and Lenaxx, earl Bo-wham, lordei Sudram, lord Maxwell,
with the Northlaoid men, the Marche, Tewsdaile, Lotheane, and tried men
of Nedesdale, Galoway, and the West Marches. Maxwell and the North-
land men lay in Lawdersdale on Tuesday, and were to be that night at
Smallom Cragg. The Scots say they will be between Englishmen and
their home. The sheriff of Aberdeen told Nyxson that he would the Scots
were between the Englishmen and their realm, " so that then it rained
Englishmen," for they would not tarry and had out the river Tweed for
footmen to pass over. Fife, Angus, and other countries were to be on
Ruslyn More on Wednesday last; and bishops, priests, and friars say
they will fight. The Queen requested the nobility not to suffer the King
to fight, " which is easily granted," and hei has promised them that her
friends shall revenge this quarrel. The King sent into the North on
Monday for more men, and gibbets are set up in four countries to draw
in pieces all who do not come forward. One of the wild Northlands men
told Nyxson that their King had there all th^ tried men of his Northland,
and they grudged that he sent for others, who* would only destroy victual
and leave their country waste. Most of the carriages Nyxson saw were
on horseback. He was told on Tuesday that the English had won two
towers and destroyed man, wife, and bairn ; and that Dande Carre,
Mark's son, had gotten in Bamberghes1 shire 100 horses coming to Ber-
wick, and the King had given him, for his services, a parishing of land.
Another espial, servant to lord Maxwell, says that on Monday last, the
23rd, his master himself proclaimed at the Market Cross in Edinburgh

the French subjects detained there. Is sure that in that letter and the
credence he gave the herald he said nothing to shake the amity, which
he has always done his best to maintain. As Henry writes that his
country is neoitral and free both to French and Burgundians, begs him
not to permit his men to favour the Burgundians passing through it to
make enterprises against the French, as they did on the day that 18
French subjects were captured when pursuing a booty and its takers.
They are still detained, although they did no hurt to Henry's men; but
he trusts that Henry will deliver them,. Boullongne, 26 Oct. 1542.

993. CHAPUYS and DE COURRIERES to the QUEEN OF HUNGARY.
Although this King's deputies, at the second communication, on
the 21st inst., promised us brief resolution of their King's intention, and
we have almost daily solicited it, they have shown great coldness therein ;
and we could not meet until the day before yesterday, when they called
us to Winchester's lodging, situated in the way between ours and the
Court. They said that their King marvelled that we would refuse to
express the state spiritual in case of defence, adding to their former
representations that evidently he was not so esteemed as was requisite,
and his quality, will and power were ill considered, or there would be
no question of preferring the Pope's amity to his, whose succession was
continuous and certain, whereas this Pope was very frail and might die
to-morrow and be succeeded by one of tne French faction ; that he had
such credit with the Venetians as to induce them to league with the
Emperor and him to defend Italy ; that it would be folly to enter into
war and expense where his amity was sought with profitable offers ; that
God had well aided him by keeping him from believing those who pressed
him to declare against Francis upon trust of the Emperor's good will,
which he found cold and meagre enough; and thiat, unless the articles
were accorded as he made them in case of defence, or at least one quality
without expression of the state spiritual, he could not and would not pro-
ceed. The deputies hold that all is going to pieces (en rupture), and
show great feeling. We answered so cogently that they could not well
reply ; and there was no talk of any other article, the deputies evidently
presupposing that in the rest they will be tractable and more conformable
to reason. By their mien it seems to us that the affair is not yet to be
taken as desperate, and, until we see the case in greater extremity, we
will not put forward the form of capitulating remitted to the arbitrament
of your Majesty, but put it forward when I, Montmorency, take leave of
the King to-morrow, if audience can be had ; which the deputies led us
to expect to-day, but perhaps they delay it to think better of their case.
To the King we will resume matters as graciously as possible, according
to the advice and prayers of Secretary Wriothesley.
By Norfolk's letters to the King of the 22nd inst., he was entered
into Scotland, having been delayed two days by the breaking of a bridge*
where some of his men were drowned and hurt, and he hoped, especially
by means of the ships which had arrived, to do some good exploit, and
the Scots had not yet appeared. London, 28 Oct. 1542.

Norfolk, with the whole army, has entered Scotland, and last news
from him was, from anenst Caldstreme, on the 24th, the army lying
near Warke, that he could not, for lack of victuals, tarry past four days
longer in Scotland, and desired Suffolk to warn all Northumberland to
bake and brew for the army at their return. Cannot learn what the army
has done, as Sir Wm. Ever, to whom Sufolk sent letters to be conveyed
to Norfolk, answers that letters cannot be safely conveyed, and none have
come from Norfolk since the 24th. Dwellers on the Borders say the
army has gone towards Kelso and Hownie Castle, from whence was much
gunshot heard, and has done great harm. Enclose report from Wharton,f

When Norfolk was at York, the King was informed of an intended
betraying of Norham Castle by means of a vault covered with ashes, which
led into the captain' si chamber. Sent to the captain to examine whether
any of his servants had intelligence with the Scots and might counterfeit
the keys; for he knew that there was no such vault. Since then the
captain has examined 'every man upon a book, under oath to keep it
secret, what part of the house he thought most unsure. Encloses the
captain's letter and the examination, which throw such suspicion upon
Joim Cokke that Norfolk has committed him to ward, and he lies fettered
in the low dungeon at Norham, Norfolk having now no leisure to examine
.him. To allay suspicion, the writer has caused the hole covered with
ashes (described) to be built up. It is im the utteir ward, which was never
made for strength, but only to keep cattle in at night, and has certain
towers in it for the country people repairing thither for safety to lie in.
The inner ward is so ranapired with double walls filled up between with
earth that ordnance may play upon them. The scaling that Cokke speaks
of would need too long ladders, and he is deceived in saying that the
watch is kept on the other side>, for two watch in the inner ward and four
in the outer in all times suspected, besides the scoutwatch without, which
must discover bringers of ladders. One of the watch in the inner ward
stands upon Clapam Tower, which, he thinks, should be scaled after the
scaling of the outer ward. Alnwick, 28 Oct. Signed.

Are this day forced to turn homewards, and next night shall be
their last in Scotland. The principal cause is lack of victuals ; for few
of the army found victuals, bread and drink between York and Newcastle,
and much worse in the four days' journey from Newcastle to Berwick.
Since entering Scotland, the most part have drunk nothing but water
these five days, and eaten no bread since they left Newcastle. Unless
Norfolk and Browne had made large provision of oxen and sheep*, there
had been much more lack. Never thought Englishmen could endure with
so little and yet be willing to go forward. Have come through such ill
passages that the wains are broken and the drink thrown away, and
ordnance and carriages have been with difficulty brought hither. Will,
to-morrow or next day, dissolve the army. If the river Tweed had risen,
and forced them to return the way they came, they must have left most
of their carriage behind ; for, where they thought to march seven or eight
miles a day, their greatest journey has been five mile®, and yet they set
forward daily by break of day. The amount of corn destroyed is in-
credible. Yesterday Sir Ant. Browne rode six miles further and burnt
eleven of the best towns and villages in the Marshe, and devastated the
country, which was full of com. Meanwhile the camp burnt this town
and abbey of Kelsall, which is reckoned the Edinburgh of the Marshe and
Tevidale, and the villages near. Hertford and Gage, having nothing
more to do, will return to the King when the army is dissolved, and make
full report. On Tuesday two French ships, laden with ordnance, passed
34 HENRY VIII. 555

into the Frith, and John Care with the navy followed them six or eight
hours later.
Long to hear who is to be warden here, and how many shall lie in
garrison, who should not be less than 3,000, and oan be victualled from
the South. Few of the horses of tho>se in garrison before are able to serve.
Enclose a letter from Suffolk, dated the 25th, showing that he is returned
from Morp'eth to Newcastle. Marvel ait it, for they expected him to
remain as warden of the Marches until another should be appointed.
Will desire him to leave his men on the frontiers, as they are paid for a
month from Sunday last, until horsemen may be picked out of my lord
of Cumberland's rule (500 or 600), Kendal (200 or 300), and Yorkshire.
This day and yesterday 19 men have died with drinking puddle water
and lack of victuals, and many more are like to follow them.
P.S. — Wrote the above yesterday, at Kelsall, but had no sure con-
veyance. Devastated the country as they came hither, and will this day
do the like, and at night dissolve the army. The King willed Norfolk
and Browne, before leaving these parts, to view his garrisons and reform
the offenders of Northumberland. Will do their best for the garrisons,
and fear nothing but the mine for Wark, which is otherwise not pregnable.
As the war is so hot, will not attempt reforming the offenders. They
two will remain at Newcastle until they hear from the King, while the
other two repair up with diligence ; but it will be nine or ten days before
they arrive there. Hawtell, in Scotland, 28 Oct. Signed by Norfolk,

In answer to his letters of the 26th, received this afternoon,
certify that long before coming from York, they commanded the
President to have certain carts and wains at Newcastle on the 18th ;
yet few came, nor was there bread or drink here to lade
them with. Most of the army neither ate bread here nor all the
time they lay in the field. The biscuit came from London in ships that
could not enter this haven, and only came to Holy Elande, from New-
castle, the day before our departure hence, so that we could not tarry
for it. That laden in small ships was such that of a 1,000 weight would
not be made here 500, and half the beer was consumed and the remainder
sour. Could not spare the carriage horses here, where they were needed
for the horsemills and to carry wheat into the country to be ground.
Beg him to think they have done all in their power. Will accomplish
the rest of his letters, but think it unwise to punish the malefactors when

This 29th Oct., at 3 p.m., received the King's commission to be
warden here. Is not suitably provided to serve; for he came in post,
with but three or four servants, upon promise of finding all necessaries
here, whereas he found but a bare tent, and was more unfurnished than
the meanest gentleman in the field, all my lord Privy Seal's stuff being
already sent away to his ships. As Master Gage can d"eclare, " they " had
charge of such a company here as Hertford, being a stranger among them,
could hardly rule ; and to remain here with those who know him still less
and without provision or servants would be to his dishonour, as he trusts
they will declare to the King. He that serves here had need to be allied
among them of these parts, and it would engender a grudge among
those noblemen here, whose men he must use, if they perceive a stranger
to have the charge and themselves to sit still. Begs them to solicit the
King " with expedition." If he were furnished and thought he could
serve, he would not seek means to avoid it.

St *RIXO 206' ^n ^e 10tk *nst> selrtto Saragosa, to a, special friend of his and
my lord of Westminster's, a packet to be conveyed to Thos. Hollande
at Bilbao, and thence forwarded. It contained a recital of his letters
to the King1 of 11 and 24 Aug. 9, 14 (morning and evening), and 20
Sept., and 4 Oct., and enclosed the declaration of war and the indiction
of the Council at Trent with the Emperor's answer. Therein was
declared, also, the reception of the Cardinal of Portugal, Michael de
Silva, on the 27th ult., the coming of Doria and of 4,000 Almains, the
French retreat from Perpignan, the Emperor's going from Monzon (the
Cortez there ended 6 Oct., and the Prince was there sworn) towards
Barcelona, and the Prince's going to Saragoza and returning to
Barcelona, and thence to Valentia, without going- at this time into Italy ;
also the conspiracy at Venice between the French ambassador and one
of the secretaries, and the taking of Chirasco and Veroa in Piedmont
by the French.
Coming from Barbastro to Barcelona!, learnt that the Emperor arrived
there from Montserat on the 16th inst., and was for some days in council
with Alva, Grandvele, Doria and Covos. Doria went by land, on the
23rd to Rosas, where the galleys and the Almains, who are reduced by
sickness, remained. Thereupon it wasi published that Grandvele and
all his sons (especially Arras) should pass into Italy and Germany ; and
on the 29th five galleys arrived for them. With them, go Don Francisco
'de Este, Mons. de Herbes, of the Emperor's chamber, the secretary of
Lorene, who lately came hither; and also, as prisoner, Pietro Fatinello,
who pretended to be ambassador of Luque, and, being convicted of con-
spiracy with the Conde de Anguillar, who fled to the French, is sent to
Luque to be tried. At Rosas, of late, died Mong. de Bury, marques de
Quarate, who was in high favour, and had been in England. The
Cardinal of Portugal tarries longer than he would owing to the sickness
of the duke of Cameryne. A new ambassador, Nic. de Ponte, is come
from Venice and is sore sick ; also one from Florence, called Guissardin,
who has been in England. John Bandyn returns to Florence ; and the
old secretary of Venice, who since the old ambassador died at Murcia,
has supplied the both rooms, departs home,
34 HENRY VIIL 559
1542,
The French amny is retired from Perpignan to Narbone, and incur-
sions are made on both sides. As the Turk and Barbarossa are expected
to attack next year, the Emperor will cause the Prince to be accepted
everywhere (as he is at Monzon and Saragoza), set good order for de-
fence here, and go next spring to Italy. On the 25th ai jubilee was
proclaimed here for a subsidy to be levied against the Turk (copy en-
closed). Perhaps the Bishop of Rome, who is partial to France, does
it to satisfy the Emperor or else to pick men's purses of their money.
Mons. de Altisten, who was sent to Buda, is returned, but nothing
is spoken of the doings there. The Frenchmen began so bravely
that Barcelona built certain fortifications (described)y Count
Baptistai de Ladron is here to receive money for these Almains, who
shall repass into Italy. The Prince is looked for daily, to be sworn here
for the province of Cathalona.
Had written thus far when a secret friend showed him that Count
Baptistai de Ladron said that, as the French were again stirring in
Rousillon, the Almains should be stayed ; a sign that they will wait and
go to Italy with the Emperor in the spring. Grandvele's going is to
order matters in Italy, which are not in best frame at Geanes, Luques,
Florence and Milan, and to prepare to meet the French in Piedmont and
provide against the Turk. He and Arras go by Trent to explain the
Emperor's not coming or sending prelates to the General Council.
Some think they go to Venice to provide against the Turk and the
French king, who is out of favour there since the late conspiracy. In
Germany he will solicit the recovery of Buda, and aid against the French
king and the Turk; and them go to Flanders to incense people there
against the French, For these premises there shaill be a Diet in
Germany and Grandvele " principally goeth unto the .same."

money. Barcelona, 29 Oct., at night. Signed.

30 Oct. 1005. WALLOP to the COUNCIL.
R' O> On 28 Oct., 80 Burgundians brought into the English pale a booty
taken at Bukhowlte, 1J mile from Arde. Twenty-five footmen! of Arde,
with others of the country, pursued and skirmished with them till within
half ai mile of Guisnes, and certain of the garrison of Arde were taken ;
whereupon the captain of Arde wrote to Wallop for them. Answered
that if they had been driven into the Pale they might havei claimed their
liberty, but, since, by pursuing, they violated the franchise of the Pale,
he might have taken them if they had not been taken by the Burgundians.
To this Mons. ChenchevalFs standard-bearer, who brought the letter,
could only answer by praying Wallop to keep the prisoners1 until further
trial. Sent for the chief of the Burgundians, and declared the captain
of Arde's demand, and that they could not keep prisoners taken in the
King's pale. He said they took them in self-defence, but would leave
them in Wallop's hands till it were known whether they were good
prize;* and meanwhile two of the Burgundians, who were the Great
Maister's servants, should learn his pleasure.
Found these Burgundians, when the French and they were communing
together, very quiet persons, and content to leave the prisoners, whom
otherwise he intended to have stayed. Asks whether to deliver the
prisoners to the Burgundians or keep them as prisoners for infringing
the franchise. Keeps them here in the town, well entreated, one being
steward of the captain's house and the others his chief servants. There
were 11 prisoners, divers of whom were taken without the pale and are

delivered to the Burgundians. Two or three were killed in the skirmish.
Would not suffer the Burgundians, being so many, to enter the town, but
commanded them to sell their booty and depart the same day. When
they were gone ai mile on their way, the bailiff of Guisnes sent a serjeant
to stay them till they paid him for every beast, cow, mare or hogge,
and took from a Spaniard a coat of mail he got from a prisoner, being
the captain of Arde's steward. He took two* of their number in pledge
for the money, demanding alsoi money " for the blode wightes that whas
betuyxste the Frenchmen and them." Asks whether to suffer the bailiff
to take such things, " who, I ensure your lordships, is a very unquiet
person, and I think he cannot show that any siuchi precedents hath been
used heretofore."
Received theirs of 26 Oct., on the 28th, by Guisnes pursuivant, whom
he despatched, 29 Oct., to Mons. de Bies. Perceives by their letter that
the Great Master of Flanders ha® taken two Englishmen at Arras1, who
were conveying certain horses into France, and that the King has required
the Emperor's ambassador to write to him to send them to Wallop. The
owner of the horses, an Englishman, saysi that the Great Master had
written to the president of Arras to send the horses to Wallop if he wrote
for them, and also restore the Englishman's other goods and punish those
who ill-treated him. Wallop accordingly wrote in a letter to the Great
Master and sent it by the Englishman and a gentleman of his own, and
expects them here in two or three days, with the horses, which, the owner
says, are all English save one.
Guisnes returned this day with Mons. de Bies's answer, who is
" redowced and savors that he hathe sene a kingesi letter," and begins to
conform to reason, complaining only that the Burgundians are lodged in
the Pale before they make their enterprises. Has1 divers times forbidden
the lodging of Burgundians either before or after enterprises. Has also
a letter, this mooring, from the catptain of Arde, confessing his men's
fault, and asking their deliverance upon paying their ransoms to the
Burgundians. Replied that he would not deliver them until he knew
further. Sends Guisnes againi to learn the King's pleasure in this.
Kendall Rewall, deputy of this castle, had Sd. a day in Calais, and
came hither with the lord Deputy's licence. He will surrender his Sd.
a day, and begs them. to> write to the treasurer of Calais to pay it up to
6 Oct. The treasurer has paid him nothing since his coming to Guisnes.
He does his duty well, and is feared and reverenced by the soldier's. If
in their next letters they would mention that the King takes his service
in good part, he should live the longer. He has continued with Wallop
since Tournay was given over, and is more like a governor than a servant,
for his profitable counsel. The King knows him well, " of whom I spake
to his Highness at his last being1 at Dower."
Prays God to send my lord of Norfolk victory over the King's enemies.
Has this day caused " a mass of the Holy Ghost, as well in the castle a,s
in the town of Guisnes, to be said, with procession ; and so to continue

1008. The QUEEN OF HUNGARY to CHAPUYS and DE COURRIERES.
When busy answering their letters of the 18th inst., received
those of the 22nd, which facilitate the despatch ; and she hopes that,
since the English begin to hear reason, they will do the like in the rest.
After examining the treaty which they demand, and weighing all that has
passed, she was of opinion that it would be difficult to agree with them,
for fear of thereby falling into' greater trouble with the King of England.
Answers questions in theirs of the 18th. (1) That it is not expedient
that the treaty should be remitted to her, even if the English were to
propose it ; and if they break off the King must be persuaded that the
Emperor and she will still continue perfect amity with him, in accordance
with ancient alliances. (2) As to the points in difficulty, amply debated
in the Emperor's letter to Chapuys, of which she has the copy, they know
how her advice is limited by precise words, providing that the treaty
must be so made as regards the Pope, rebels and hantize asi to be open to
no reproach ; and they must remit nothing to her concerning these
limitations!. If the English had persisted as to the Pope and rebels she
could not have consented to atay alteration; the Emperor's command
must be precisely followed in both, save that the time of making rebels
withdraw might be moderated, provided that the rest of thei article of
the rebels is passed as in the treaty of Cambray. (3) Hantize seems to
comprehend the 2nd and1 13th articles of the treaty, and she cannot
enlarge further than the Emperor's letters allow, but thinks the King's
Council might be persuaded to leave out the restraining clause of the
2nd article, from the words ut mercatores mercimonii exercendi causa to
the words aut principali diplomate fuerit indultum ; otherwise they
would show a wish' rather to restrict existing amities than to contract
closer. It is notorious that he who lands in another country must con-
form to the laws and statutes there. By the treaty of intercourse of the
year '20, which they would confirm, these countries could never attain
reasonable intercourse, mainly because the English do not observe the
said intercourse as regards payment of tolls and imposts, which, by it,
should be according to the treaty of 1495, by which subjects of this
country should pay no other dues in England than they paid 50 years
before, when they paid only what the Easterlings now pay. Explains
that the article should be as in the treaty of Cambray, or the matter of
intercourse (which concerns merchants) left out and not mingled with
that of amity (which concerns princes), as it was in all treaties before
that of Cambray. (4) The eighth article, touching the number of men
to be sent upon requisition, is very unequal, and she could not in fortv
days assemble 3,000 horsemen at that pay. It should be seen that the
English do not name small pay because they know ' that their money

would be asked rather than their men, who are not too practised in war
(aguerroies), whereas they would ask men rather than money. Details
further arguments on this, but, seeing the state of affairs, thinks it better
to pass something: in this article than to break all. (5) As to the inter-
pretation of the treaty and enforcement (precise execution) in case of
contravention, the articles are so couched as rather to give occasion to
break it at will ; and no difficulty should be made in altering them to the
accustomed form of treaties; and she sends a clause of the treaty of
(blank) as a guide. (6) As regards defence and offence, refers it
to the Emperor's letter to Chapuys. (7*^ The dukes of Cleves and Hoi-
stein should be named as enemies, being at war against the Emperor ;
but, if that cannot be obtained, it should be expressed in the treaty that
the Emperor may treat with them without the intervention and consent
of the King. The article is too general, that nothing may be treated
with princes of the Empire or other neighbours without the King's con-
sent, and it should be restricted to things prejudicial to either prince
or derogatory to the present treaty.
If they must break off, occasion should be taken for it upon the three
points of the precise interpretation and enforcement (execution) of the
treaty and the prohibition of treating with other princes1 without the
Kingr's consent. These they must see accorded as the Emperor wrote in
his last letters to Chapuys. Bruxelles.. 31 Oct. 1542.

31 Oct. 1009. EDMOND HARVEL to HENRY YIII.
St i^nP'211 Wrote on the 22nd. The withdrawal of the French from Parpig-
nan is since divulged to their shame. The marquis of Guasto continues
to prevail against them in Piedmont. In Hungary the Christian host
has withdrawn from Pest with shame and damage ; through the perfidy
of the Hungarians, whose chief man, Perinpeter, and his son are, there-
fore, imprisoned by Ferdinando. All the host is dissolved, and the
Italians returned to Italy. The Turks proved themselves good men of
war and were well provided. The bishop of Rome has appointed three
cardinals (Pole among them) to assemble the General Council at Trent,
but all is thought to be dissimulation.
Thine, an island in the Archipelago, belonging to Venice, has sur-
rendered to the Turk. The Turk has raised the customs in Surye fr< m
2 per cent, to what it was in the sultans of Egypt's time, viz., 10 per
cent., which will ruin Venetian trade there. The Turk is incensed
against the Dominion for the little respect they paid to Jamus Bey, who
came to practise in favour of the French king. The Almains make a
Diet at Noremberg for the business of the Council and matters of
Hungary. Venice, 31 Oct. 1542.
P.S. — Letters from Constantinople of 3 Oct. mention that the Turk
was going to Andrinopoli with his wife, and had set two of his sons to
govern provinces of Asia, with 60,000 and 50,000 ducats apiece, and
was making1 great provision for next year. Two thousand footmen are
gone from Sicily to Spain, and 6,000 Almains are coming to join Guasto.
In Almain they " lament of Ferdinando, for th'abusing of their money,"
which should have paid the soldiers.

Petition to the Emperor's ambassador by Henry Dowe, of

into Norway, and, on his return, hearing that there was war and pirates
out in the sea, he sought a place of safety and anchored, 6 Oct. last,
near Cromer, within an arrow's flight of land. The same night a
French pirate boarded the ship, bound petitioner and his fellows and
sailed with the prize to Cromer, where they sold it to Thos. Wodho'us
for 60 cr., although it was worth 300 er. Wodhous then permitted the
pirate to depart, retaining the ship and goods, and sent petitioner and his
fellows empty away.

that such a costly and notable enterprise had been more displeasant
to the enemies, but trusts hereafter to nave recompence for what is now,
for lack of necessaries, omitted. (2) Supposed that Hertford should
have been furnished out of the late lord Privy Seai's stuif, but, since
he has no relief thereof, and cannot without furniture serve the room
of warden, discharges him of it until he may be better provided, and
appoints Kutiand again, whose commission shall be sent witnin two days.
They are to appoint for his Council the gentlemen they named before.
(3) Marvels that they have not written what the Soots do and
whether they have levied an army, and if so that they should so

seek revenge, such order must be taken in the Borders and the countries
adjoining, that their malice may be defended, and they made to suffer
more than they have already done, rather than, by doing hurt in England
or by sowing and manuring the overridden ground, enabled to redubb
their injuries. Orders them to lay 4,000 men in garrison for this
winter (500 or 600 of them at Carlisle), to be picked from the best of
the armies both of the dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk. Also to devise
with Rutland to supply the room of deputy warden of the Middle
Marches, and take order for the laying and victualling of the garrisons,
and their instruction to beware of being trapped as Bowes and the
rest were, and yet let the enemies know that they are not asleep;

2 Nov. 1017. CHAPUYS to CHARLES V.
B. o. On the 3rd of this month* arrived the Sieur de Corrierez at
[bpamsn Falemue; upon notice of which the King ordered Mr. Huyet to meet
VLi" No. nim> as *ar °tt as possible, who about 80 miles hence took ill, and died
74.] witiiin two days; so that De Corrierez missed his company, and had no
other than tiiat of the captain of Faiemue and his son-in-law, who
were bringing hither a French corsair named Vreica. On the 14th De
Corrierez arrived in this town, being met a mil© or two out by the
captain of the King's Guard and a great number of gentlemen, who
accompanied him to Chapuys' lodging. Having perused the Emperor's
letters of 13 and 16 Aug. and 16 bept., they obtained audience for
the 16th, and lord Coban and the captain of the Guard came to fetch
them. The Council's reception of tliem was very meagre, compared
with that of former times; as likewise was the King's, after dinner.
After De Courrieres had presented the letters of credence and both
had thanked the King for his affection to the Emperor, as understood
from his ambassadors, and had assured him of the Emperor's reciprocity,
he answered1 that he had long heard such language but never perceived
the eit'eat, and, if the Emperor had the least desire in the world for
his amity, stay would not be made upon many little points, as in the
article of rebels; and he persisted strongly upon that, and then fell
upon the defence from persons spiritual and ecclesiastic, saying that no
real amity was possible without these two articles being passed as he
made them, and that he had been so often deceived in treaties and
had found so many interpretations andi cavillatio-ns that henceforth he
meant to treat so amply that there might be nothing to gainsay.
Answered graciously, with suitable representations, but brieiiy, con-
sidering that he would take the whole better from his deputies' report ;
for he nolds it against honor to give way to reason and retract anything
he has affirmed; and they avoided striving much with him, because
Chapuys had disputed at great length with him three days before
(having been summoned, on pretext of speaking about a ship of Mons.
de Beures, in order that the King might complain of the said two
articles to him, as a friend and counsellor, and not as an ambassador)
and had then satisfied him. The King next spoke of the non-observance
of his treaties, both with the Emperor and France; and said in passing,
half between his teeth, that that was not much compared with the
having made a league against him, and a certain partition (reparte-
ment) between the Pope, the Emperor, and the French king, and that
the ships which were said, three years ago, to be preparing in Flanders
to go against the Turk, were for an enterprise against him. Then
suddenly, to efface these words and prevent an answer (which Chapuys
has heretofore made), the King asked de Courrieres about the Emperor's

1542.
1017. CHAPUYS to CHARLES V. — cont.
health; and, with a jest of extravagant praise of Chapuys and some
small talk, referred them to communicate with his deputies.
Next day, 17th inst., the said deputies, viz. the bps. of Winchester
and Westminster and Secretary Wriothesley, dined with them, and began
the discussion which followed by making the whole treaty depend
upon the clearing of the article concerning the Pope. With much ado
got them to pass to the other difficulties made on the Emperor's behalf
to the bps. of London and Westminster; and after long debate they
concluded to report to their master and answer next day.
Next day came news that the Privy Seal was dead in the North, of
his ordinary malady of the stone (which is indeed a great loss), and
Wriothesley was sent to his house to console his wife and take away
" quelques paques et auttres besongnes" belonging to the King; so
that they could not re-assemble until the 21st, when the deputies came
to them.
The deputies said that they had persuaded the King to condescend
to the article touching rebels as in the treaty of Cambray, with the
term of 15 days instead of the other longer term and the clause " si
commodement f aire faire se pouvoit," and to substitute for " personne
prince spirituel," in the article of defence, the ordinary clause promising
defence against all of whatsoever quality or condition. The deputies
insisted much on the article of " contractation et hantise," but Chapuys
thinks they will not stay upon any, unless it be the aid against the
Turk which they will not have mentioned in the treaty, but consider
afterwards. It will be difficult to obtain the exemption of the Emperor's
aid when occupied on the side of Italy or in the common offence, and
assistance against the dukes of Cloves and Holstein by name. As to
the duration of the aid defensive, thinks that one month will be the
utmost extension obtained. Did not speak of the time of the common
invasion and the war against Francis, because the Emperor was already
engaged in it, and there was no likelihood of altering the article as
at present couched. Nor did they press for the enterprise upon
Montreuil; because they await the Queen's command, and the English
are against it this year, on account of events against the Scots, the late-
ness of the season and the loss of the best opportunity.
The deputies being grieved at our determined opposition to the said
" qualite " in case of defence, said that the French were not asleep, and
their practises extended further than we thought, and that the ambas-
sadors with the Emperor understood that if only the word spirituelz
were omitted the Emperor would be satisfied. Answered that the
Emperor's intention was not only to exclude the word but also the
meaning, in such wise that his Holiness might haive no occasion for
displeasure; and read the second chapter of the Emperor's letter,
speaking of the respect to be had to his Holiness, but excused
giving a copy by saying that the deputies were of good memory,
and the King would accept their report of it, as the Emperor
had already told it to the ambassadors; and we said that we
knew more of the French practises than they thought, and
that the French king now desired nothing more than an ap-
pointment with the Emperor, and all his practises tended to that,
and if the Emperor would gratify him in something, he would capitulate
all that the Emperor could wish, against anyone, and (although the
Emperor made no mention of it) offer* assistance to the Emperor
against the King their master. And Chapuys added, after giving them

some taste of it, that he would, for all he had!, that their master knew
what he knew of the intrigues of the French against him, and what
they had formerly solicited, to which their Emperor would not listen.
It was concluded that in a day or two they should signify their
King's whole will ; but, notwithstanding solicitations, and representa-
tions of De Courrieres's hast© to pass into Flanders, and their desire
to despatch to the Emperor, who might thereupon see to his affairs,
the deputies showed themselves as cold as possible.
Finally, on the 26th, were called to the lodging of the bp. of
Winchester, where it was thought that De Courrieres should not be
present, both because he was a little indisposed and because Chapuys
thought that affairs would be disputed a little closely, and the deputies
would not take his representations so well in presence of another, and,
moreover, that if perchance he used a sharp word', they would have
better opportunity to soften it, besides his being able to speak to
them more frankly as a servant of their master; and, moreover, some
kind of coolness had to be shown on our side as on theirs, and the
absence of De Courrieres rather assisted it ; and it gave the King and
these commissioners "assez a penser." Had the matter not been so
important, and had Chapuys been free to use his own judgment, he
would have shown still greater coolness, and thinks it would have
profited.
Coming to the said commissioners, they began to tell me that the
King found it strange that the Emperor would prefer the Pope's amity
to his, which was the more necessary to the Emperor, especially when
the succession of this realm is certain, and that of the Papal dignity
not so, and this Pope, being very frail, might die to-morrow and be
succeeded by one of the French faction ; that the King's influence
with the Venetians was such that he might bring them to a league
for the defence of Italy, eveni against his Holiness. I replied thalt
this seemed to need no answer, as the thing was notorious, and
had been already so often debated, but, since they pressed me, I
would tell my opinion (being very glad of De Courrieres'g absence);
[and] I pointed out that your Majesty did more for the King than
he did for you, and that what they asked was unreasonable, and I
could not imagine that the King wished to put the Emperor in such
danger, without any advantage to himself, and that, if he would con-
sider what he himself would do if he were in the Emperor's position, he
would not, I firmly believed, require him to do a thing which his Holi-
ness might resent, but rather dissuade it; that there was no need of
comparing amities; and that increased amity between the Emperor
and his Holiness would give the Emperor more influence to dissuade his
Holiness from attempts against the King (whose amity the Emperor
much esteemed, and the King should esteem his also), and since the
Pope was frail, as they said, he had in his old aige other matter to think
of than enterprises against thiis realm, amd when another, such as
they spoke of, succeeded, the needful measures will be devised ; and
this exclusion of persons spiritual seemed, in some ways, to make more
for their master than for the Emperor, who might fall in dissension, with
the Holy Father, and, his countries being easier to invade than this,
the Kins' would be at charge for thedr defence, as also in the case of the
bps. of Liesfe, Cologne, Treves and Munster, who were princes of the
Empire and the Emperor's neighbours; from which expense he would
be free if the treaty was only against temporal princes. As to the
Venetians, it was a mistake to suppose the Signory was gfoing to quarrel
with the Pope and France, and the Venetians were nothing in Italy in
574 34 HENRY VIII.

1017. CHAPUYS to CHARLES V. — cont.
comparison with the Pope's power, and this country was too far off
from Italy. To pass the articles which they demanded would irritate
not only his Holiness and the sacred College but also the Catholic staites
of Germany, as might be presumed from what pais®ed in last Diet of
Raitisboni, and would scandalize all or the most part of the Emperor's
subjects.
To this they could only reply that they saw that God would not per-
mit the treaty, and all must be considered broken for the present ; and
afterwards the exigence of affairs might bring better opportunity for
concluding. Seeing their coldness, Chapuys said that since they saw no
appearance of effecting what was treated, he begged them as soon as
possible to obtaini conge for De Courrieres, and the King's final resolu-
tion, which it was most important that the Emperor should know.
At this the commissioners seemed astonished, and looked at one another ;
and, after speaking together, they said that they were extremely sorry
that affairs went not otherwise, and would still advance them to their
power, and they did not think that De Courrieres, whatever haste he
had, would leave without speaking with the King. After some other
conversation, as Chapuys was leaiving, Wriothesley, who has the credit
and governs all, begged him privately to use gracious language to the
King when De Courrieres took leave. Thanked him, and begged him
to think what they should sary.
The day before yesterday* De Courrieres and he were in Court, and,
before dinner, he took Wriothesley aiside, who told him that the King
was a little exasperated (escarmouche) uponi hearing their last com-
munication, but was afterwards mollified, and much desired that a
form might be found to assure him from the Pope without endanger-
ing the Emperor, and, as for sending anyone to the Queen in Flanders
(as Chapuys had proposed), the King would not hear of it, suspecting
(as he himself said after dinner) that nothing could pas® there to his
advantage, as the Queeni had men about her who were not partial to
him. And Wriothesley advised them to speak as they thought best to
the King, but not strive with him, and to conclude by praying him to
take the trouble to put his own hand to the pen, for there was no
councillor or secretary who' knew nearly so well how to order the whole
or to understand the importance of the affair.
After dinner the King began by saying that he understood that De
Courrieres had a charge to the Queen in Flanders, and he would not
delay him here to the prejudice of the Emperor's affairs, the promotion
of which he desired no less than that of his own ; that he was sorry
that things treated here had rather gone back than advanced, for it
had been said in the Emperor's Court that there was nothing to alter
in all the treaty if the word princes et personnel spirituelles was omitted,
but now, when he condescended to substitute for it the promise of de-
fence, customary in all treaties, viz., against all persons of what degree,
condition, estate, and quality whatsoever, it was refused, and new diffi-
culties put in the other articles; it was to be noted that it was not his
fault that this closer amity was not concluded. And he repeated the
representations which he and his ministers have so often made.
In reply, after begging him to hear them patiently, and, by his great
goodness and prudence, excuse and correct their errors, thev answered
his more substantial points, and then gave a summary of their repre-
sentations, which, although it was long, he heard without his accustomed
interruptions, only making1 a little grimace at what he did not like.

When they had done, he said thait they knew how to take advantage
of things, and that, as he had often told Chapuys, the Emperor should
keep his friends, and toi acquire others should not seek the Pope, who
was his (Henry's) enemy; if the Emperor reserved treating against
his Holiness, he (Henry) might reserve the King of France and duke
of Cleves, with whom he still had good amity and intelligence ; and he
thought that the Emperor, by his amity [and] alliance with his Holi-
ness, would easily induce the latter to take the thing in good part, who
would be afraid to resent it (nauroit garde de grondir, saichant I'union
entre we. Mate et luy\ Told him that, if so, he should not insist on
demanding defence against his Holiness, whose forces were so far off.
He was confused, and did not reply; but, with al little heat, said that
if Ms Holiness sought to do him ill he would set the Venetians on him,
who were not so difficult to sever from his friendship as we imagined;
and, chafing still more, but gaily, he answered to what we had said
(that, although your Majesty might need defence against a Pope sooner
than himself, for tho reasons above touched upon, you did not ask
him for it, nor would he listen to such a demand), he replied that he
would listen to it and capitulate about it if you pleased. We
said that we thought you so acquitted yourself towards the Holy
See that such extremities would not be reached, and it would be
ominous and new among Christian princes, in place of comprehend-
ing the Holy See as a. principal contrahent, to capitulate against it, and
that See being so powerful in Italy, an assistance of 25,000 or 30,000
men would be necessary, and would be difficult to transport to Italy,
where also it would be difficult to send the aid in money promptly.
And where we had said that if His Holiness were given cause of resent-
ment, he might easily be gained over by Francis, with the offer of
Naples, and persuasion that Francis only took intelligence with the Turk
for lack of assistance from his Holiness, the King answered that we
were ill informed of the affairs of France, and that Francis would be in
no hurry to make such offers, — forgetting that the said offer was among
the news he fgave] us eight or ten days before as from his ambassador'
in France. He was surprised at the Emperor's scruples, seeing that
heretofore he had not shown such great respect to the Pope, as was
seen at the taking of Rome and of Pope Clement. Answered that that
was done against the Emperor's will, as was1 afterwards shown, although
the Emperor had cause to take arms against Pope Clement, who, besides
plotting against him, had begun to invade Naples. Where we had
saiid that not even after the rout of Pavia were the French ever barer
of money and friends, and, consequently, easier to bring to reason by
force or amity, which they would procure by all means they knew
[before] the conclusion of this treaty ; the King answered that we were
ill informed of the affairs of France. After further discussion, he sand
he would rather remain in his neutrality than enter an imperfect treaty,
and some better opportunity of getting rid of the difficulties now made
might offer hereafter. He would not hear of sending a person of his to
the Queen, saying that if any good was to be done there, De Courrieres
by mouth and Chapuys by letter could do it far better. Told him that
to report or write the whole, a new meeting with his commissioners was
necessary, at which he demurred, saying that his commissioners knew
not what further to say, and it wais for us as the pursuers to think how
to clear away the difficulties; but finally he consented.
Yesterday,* after dinner, we were at Winchester's lodging, and, after
much altercation and urging us to write the article of defence without

mention of the spirituality, they withdrew, and wrote the following article,
to be placed after the 4th, viz., " Item conventum, concordatum et
conclusum quod casu quo ailiqua invasio," &c. (article quoted to the
effect that, in case of invasion of the possessions of either or their heirs
or successors, or, during minority of the heirs, their curators or ad-
ministrators, the author of the invasion and whosoever assists with
funds, men or arms, shall be held a common enemy ; and if the invasion
be with 10,000 men, then, etc.). To this we made difficulties, and, in
passing, put forward the clause which your Majesty mentions for the
extremity, viz., to promise defence against atll powers, temporal and
secular, but they disapproved it, saying that if the chief were
ecclesiastic and spiritual, the whole army might be considered spiritual ;
and no other resolution could be taken thami that they would do their
best to get their King to accept the above article, and we should do
the like with the Queen. And to-day they were to advertise us of the
King's intention and send De Courrieres's passport.
I thought to close this the d!ay before yesterday and upon that
supposition calculated the days above mentioned, but deferred because
the passport and answer did not come until to*-day. This morning the
clerk of the Council brought the passport and 1,000 ducats as a present
to De Courrieres, and told us, on behalf of the deputies, that the
King persisted that the 6th and 7th articles should remain in their
entirety, and they wished us to obtain thalt, or in default get the
Queen to condescend to the article above couched, and meanwhile they
would do their best to get the King to like it. They have also sent
word that the King has, at our contemplation, pardoned an honest
young compaignon de Haynault, who was aiccused of retaining a piece
of the King's (plate, in which something had been brought to his
lodging.
Thinks the Emperor was well advised not to write privately to the
King's counsellors. Events will show how to proceed in that, and in
the constitution! of the pensions. The prolongation mentioned in the
end of the Emperor's letters of 13 Aug. has not been spoken of. As
to the export of wheat, of which the Emperor wrote privately on 14
Aug., the King answered that there was no great abundance here, and
that upon opportunity he would license him in whose favour the
Emperor wrote to export some ; and also license some of his own people
to do it, so thait they might share the gain. Showed the copy of the
Emperor's letter to his Holiness, upon the convocation of the Council,
to the King's Council; by whom, and by the King himself, it was
much commended.
Has had no Flemish news from the Queen since 23 Sept. ; but learns
by merchants that in the beginning of October 14,000 or 15,000
Almains marched into Julliers, where first Dure surrendered and com-
pounded for 70,000 fl. (and, some say, promised to build a castle), and
then Julliers, which held out longer, being fortified, surrendered at
discretion oni the 10th, and on the 22nd the last town of Julliers was
gained ; the Emperor's army finding no resistance in the field. It is
doubted that there will be a little more resistance in Cleves, through
the assistance of the Gueldrois, to whom the duke of Cleves has with-
drawn, and the Queen has not gained their favour, as was said, or at
least they have not kept neutrality; for a booty of merchandise going
from Antwerp to Cologne, by the Rhine, worth 80,000 cr., has made
them turn aside (fteschir). The rest of the army, as De Roeulx wrote
34 HENRY VIII. . 577
1542.
20 days ago, was divided, tKe <me part being in Luxemburg and the
oUliier in Hainault, towards Liege, to keep relief from the French (garder
le secours dez Francois], who had mad© three or four courses upon the
frontiers of Hainault and Artois, and had always been well beaten.
When De Roeulx wrote he had been two days and a night near Corbie,
thinking to draw out the garrisons of Peronne, Orleans and Corbie, but
no one dared to show himself. Since his return the captain of Bapaulme
found the garrison of Chastelet in the fields and slew or took them all.
The war of Scotland has been almost stopped by the great rains,
whereby it was impossible to conduct artillery or victuals, and Norfolk
has retired, after spoiling some of the country without finding any one
in the fields.

•p /-\
St. P. v. 213. Since our departure out of Scotland, we have heard that the
army of Scotland, 10,000 or 12,000 men, was at Lawder, 20 miles from
the Borders, intending this night or to-morrow to invade this country.
Yesterday, at Alnwick, with my lords of Suffolk and Hertford, we heard
that they were scaled and gone home, as confirmed this morning by a
letter (herewith) sent by John Carr to Norfolk at Morpeth. Other
espials show that the hunger among them a.t Lalwder, caused by the
great waste done by us, wais such that their King licensed them to take
for every six men a sheep where they could get it. Thereupon they
took every mani a sheep and so spoiled their own country, " that th'in-
habitants exclaimed marvelously thereat;" and for lack of victuails
they were constrained to sparcle.
Have taken order for defence, and for hurts to be done by the garri-
son men, by advice of Suffolk and Hertford and the wisest Borderers.
By espials and the words of the late ambassadors of Scotland, the King
of Scots would gladly have come to the King, but his lords would not
suffer it, the principals being the Cardinal and the earls of Murray
and Argyle. Will here order the victuals in the ships which have
been in the Frythe, and could not reach Berwick before our departure
into Scotland, to be sold. Depart to-morrow for York to appoint fresh
men to relieve Suffolk's men. Have already written to them to learn
the King's pleasure how many men should lie in garrison on the
Borders, advising no less thanj 3,000. Beg them to advertise my lord
Warden of the King's pleasure in that, and they will at York take order
with my lord President to send such soldiers as my lord Warden shall
thereupon, by letter, require. It hag never before been accustomed to
leave after All Hallowtide more than 1,500 men, and even for that
number corn, both for men and horses, must be sent from the south
before Christmas.
Heard on Tuesday last, at Berwick, that the shipsi of war had burnt
Coldinghani in Scotland, and killed certain persons, but do not know
what exploits they have done since. We desire you to advertise John
Care, vice-admiral, at Yarmouth Road (where he will be by next wind),
how many of the King's ships shall remain at sea! and what they shall do.
P.S. — Being too busy to despatch these letters yesternight, we hear
this morning that the commons of Scotland are gone home, but the
lords and gentlemen remain together, intending some invasion. Again,
sitting at dinner, we received contrary news by Sir Wm. F.vers' letter
enclosed.
According to the King's pleasure, to send into Scotland for delivery
of the prisoners upon ransom, Norfolk hais written to the King of Scots
by Somerset herald and Ray, pursuivant of Berwick, and has received
answer (enclosed) thereupon from the earl of Murray. The Council
would not permit "him" to have access to the King. Will to-morrow
depart towards York, and, after seeing there to the appointing of new
men, repair to Hull to view the fortifications, and thence to the Court.

As the horses of the garrison, who were here before our coming,
are so travelled that they cannot serve, and as my lord of Suffolk's
company have taken little pain, it would save the cost of bringing new
men if a number of that company were commanded to remain here.
If the King will be content with 1,500 to tarry on the Borders, 1,000
of my said lord's company with the 636 we have left will suffice; and,
if ai greater number shall remaiin, we think the King should advertise
my lord Warden, and we will put order with the President that the
number shall be ready upon short warning. Wei study to alleviate the

1033. The WAR with SCOTLAND.
"A declaration conteynyng the just causes and consyderaticns
of this present warre with the Scottis, wherin alsoo appereth the trewe
and right title that the Kinges most royall majesty hath to the
Souerayntie of Scotland."
Being now enforced to war by his neighbour and nephew, the king of
Scots, Henry notifies his nephew's provocation of it, whom he main-
tained and protected in minority, and from whom he has received letters,
embassies, etc., as gently devised as possibly could be. Last year, when
he received a message and promise of the king of Scots's repair to him
at York, and, in lieu of it (he being at York), his realm was invaded by
the Scots, he imputed the fault to his nephew's Council and subjects, and
received the ambassadors who repaired hither at Christmas as if no
such displeasure had happened. Upon the good words of these am-
bassadors, albeit his nephew had, contrary to the league, received and
refused to restore the chief stirrers of the insurrection in the North,
Henry agreed to send commissioners to the Borders to determine de-
bates about the confines, without pressing (for the time) the matter of
the rebels. When the commissioners met, the Scots rejected evidence,
shown for a piece of ground usurped by Scots, only because made by

Englishmen (although it was ancient, and the ground of so little value
that no man would falsify for it), and the commissioners parted as
friends. Thereupon lord Maxwell proclaimed order for good rule, but
added that Scottish borderers should withdraw thedr goods from the
Borders; and, incontinently after, on 4 July, the Scots entered and
spoiled this realm. Henry was therefore •compelled to garrison tne
Borders. The King of Scots then sent Leyrmonth in embassy, at whose
entry the Scots made an unexpected foray, and yet Henry gave him
benign audience. Meanwhile Henry's subjects were continually spoiled,
and Sir Robert Bowes and many others, making a raid in revenge there-
of, taken prisoners and kept without ransom. Describes subsequent
negociations with Norfolk, the lord Privy Seal, the bp. of Durham, and
the Master of the Horses, at York, in which what James authorised by
his commissions he revoked by his instructions, and vice versa, so that
nothing could be done.
The above shows that this war has not proceeded from any demand
of superiority, for if Henry had minded the possiession of Scotland, he
had the opportunity during his nephew's minority ; and yet he has just
claim to Scotland, recognised by the kings of Scotland, but would not
move war at a time when all Christendom should be united to resist the
Turk. Can show this title by history, by the instrument® of homage
remaining in his treasury, and by registers and records. (1) As for
history, touches upon the division of Britain by Brutus and events
before the year 900, from which time he gives the years in which kings
(named) of Scotland did homage, viz., 947, 977, 1017, 1056, 1068, 1093,
1100, 1127, 1150, 1175, 1190, 1204, 1216, 1282, 1326, 1346, and 1423.
(2) There remain instruments sealed by the kings of Scotland ini testi-
mony of these homagesi; and it appears by history how the Scots
practised to steal divers of them out of the Treasury, but they were
recovered. To meet the allegation that the homage was for the earldom
of Huntingdon, " which is as truei as the allegation of him that is burnt
in the hand to say he was cut with a sickle," gives an example. (3)
As for records and registers has the judicial process (described) of King
Edward I. upon the title to Scotland, in which it appears that the
Parliament of Scotland recognised the superiority. At that time Scot-
•, land was ruled by guardians deputed by Edw. I. and the bps. of St.
Andrew's and Glasgow were not, as now, abps., but the abpric. of York
extended all over that country.
Shows how, in the 120 years since James Steward did homage to
Henry VI., wars and troubles and the minority of the present king of
Scots prevented claim of homage being made until these last 13 years,
which homage, however, he does not mean to demand, desiring rather
his nephew's friendship than to cause him displeasure. It is the work
of God to minister occasions whereby due superiority may be known.

portunity of conquest, a "mayne armye" must be used at the
beginning of June next; and convenient provision must be made
against that season. Also the possessioners of those countries are to
be allured by privy practises and open proclamation, and by terror of
the preparations now to be made at Berwick, to yield to the King as
their Sovereign. However if the King, out of pity of his nephew,
will satisfy himself with "ai warre gargareable" to chastise the Scots,
and force them to convenient conditions of peace, the great provisions
are not needed, but only garrisons required.

R. o.
St. P. v., 216.
In reply to his letters of the 2nd inst. : — (1) Humbly thank him
for taking their proceedings in good part, although not in all things
accomplished according to the intended purpose. (2) Concerning the
despatch of Hertford from the wardenry and the return of Rutland,
with Council, to supply that room; will at York take order for 4,000
mem to reside upon the Borders, and will there await Rutland's coming
and give him advice. (3) Where the King marvels that they have not
reported what the Scots intend; their letters from Newcastle will have
done so ere this. Will execute his order for 500 or 600 of the said
4,000 men to He at Carlisle, for fear of a siege, although it seems super-
fluous, because the Scots cannot come there without knowledge given in
tune to warn the country nor carry battery pieces thither at this time
of year, and the scarcity oni those borders of Scotland is even more
than on these. Dissolved the army without first knowing the King's
pleasure, only for lack of victuals. Had they had enough to keep the
army together they would have gone further into Scotland. Perceive
by his letters that they shall leave 4,000 mem in garrison on the
Borders, but know not how to victual them. Assure him that if the
duke of Suffolk had not helped the army a*t their return from Scotland
a great number should have perished. Some of them " offered a crown
for a draught of drink." Hay and corn are so scarce in Northumber-
land that the garrison put their horses to grass, so that the King may
perceive what service they shall be able to do. Returning out of Scot-
land they found at Berwick such scarcity of hay that they were forced
to avoid the town.
(4) As to appointing leaders of the countrymen in case the Scots lay
siege to any fortress ; have taken order for the lord warden to have charge
thereof, and will commit it to Rutland at his coming, who is already
at Bever with all his men and all his council, save Mr. Harrington, who
is treasurer with us here. Rutland has such diseases upon him that
if he return thither he shall shortly finish his life. Recommend the
earl of Cumberland as mucli better qualified to serve in the said room,
who has a great power of fresh men near at hand. With the earl of
Cumberland as warden and lord Dacre remaining in Cumberland, to
assist the deputy warden there, the King will be much better served.
As for provision of victuals for the garrisons, have done what they
could with the remainder of Suffolk's victuals, and others at Berwick
amd Newcastle; but for horsemeat there is great difficulty, both for
hay, oats, and beans.

Finally, where the King marvels that they have not written what
fortresses have been thrown down, and what towns and villages burnt
by them, Jack Amusgrave, the garrison of Berwick and others ; there
were no fortresses, for they were thrown down by Norfolk 20 years
past, and as for the towns and villages they do not know the names,

like to kill one another. On Thursday proclamation was made at
Edinburgh for all to return home, except those of Fife, who watch the
coast for fear of the King's fleet, which! is still in the Frith awaiting
wind to* return. The King of Scots blames Hunt-ley for not attacking
Sir Ant. Browne and the rearward at the return over Tweed, and has
made Murray lieutenant in his stead. The Scots have done nothing on
the Marches since the return of the army, save that small companies
of eight or tent have stolen cattle and horses. Of them the watches
have taken six. Reports raids in Scotland on Thursday night by 40
men of Berwick, and on Friday night by Sir Ralph Evres and 90 of
the garrisoni, who burnt Chirnsida At least 500 of the garrison are
lacking, and the rest are said to be unprovided with horses. Has
ordered a general muster on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next.

not victual and horsemeat here to last over Candlemas. 5 Nov.

gtRp °^. The King has seen the writings, and heard the report which " I
213. the bishop of Westminster" brought. After Mons. de Courrier had
delivered letters of credence in the Emperor's own hand, the King ap-
pointed commissioners* to commune with him and the Ambassador. The
Emperor's Council in Spain stuck at the article of rebels and the articles
mentioning the word " spirituales ; " but these men would agree to very
few of the articles, and finally stuck upon four, viz., the 2nd (which
they would have general " as it was in Cambray "), the article of rebels,
and " where the words ' 'spirituales ' " be, and the article of intercourse
(which they would have framed after Cambray). Although the King
disliked this proceeding, his affection for the amity was such that he him-
self devised how the articles might be framed for the Emperor's excuse to
the Bishop of Rome and his own countries, as follows : To omit the
word " spirituales ;' and have only, as in Cambray, " Quaecumque persona,
cujuscumque status, gradus, dignitatis;" to have the article of rebels
as it was in Cambray, but the time of th© avoiding of them shorter
if the place where they were would permit; and the articles for sub-
jects and intercourse as they desired. The Ambassadors, however,
would not accept the above wordsi instead of " spirituales," but
would put " Quisvis princeps, potentaitus, etc., temporalis," being a
plain exception of the bp. of Rome, and implying a permission to
him to invade the King. To this they stuck so fast that the King
was constrained to -desist without conclusion; but, after Mons. de
Courrier had taken leave, an article was devised in more general words,
which he carried to the Queen of Hungary, and the writers trust that all
shall come well.
Bonner may upon opportunity compare the King and the bishop of
Rome, how the one is " eligible " and may be succeeded by another of con-
trary faction, while the other has a succession perpetual. In Italy the
King can stand them in some stead, and in the Low Parts none can
help them as he can, Because they have done a little hurt in Cleves
and the open country which they cannot keep, they must not deceive
themselves with shadows, as they did lately when they and France were
so knit together; for if France might have the help of the King these
things might end differently.
P.S. — My lord of Norfolk, the Master of the Horse and other noble-
men have devastated Scotland and returned without losing a man.

Yesterday received a letter from Norfolk, Suffolk, Mr. Comp-
troller and Sir Ant. Browne, dated Duresme, 5th inst., enclosing the
King's letters to them and himself, showing that he is discharged of
the wardenry, and Rutland re-appointed. Although he has now no
more occasion of abode here than the rest, he will not return until
Rutland comes, even if he has toi lie in his clothes, and have but bread
and drink. Has stayed Rutland's stuff, which was yet at Newcastle
and elsewhere. Where the King writes for them to devise order in case
the Scots besiege any fortress ; considering the dissolution of their army,
of which he wrote, and the lateness of the season, no such enterprise
is to be feared for this year. As to the 4,000 meni whom the King will
have in garrison; this month will be past ere they can be brought
together, after which nothing can be done, and Half the number will
suffice for defence. There is no victual for such a) number, and no
annoyance feasible to the enemies but has, or should have been done
within these 10 days if he could have had enough spears and archers
sufficiently horsed. Will report the state of the garrison upon the
return of the musters. Received from Suffolk a letter to him from
Wriothesley for the apprehension of one Tucfield, and has taken order
therein. 7 Nov.

Fyff and Lodian dared not go to the camp when the army was in
Scotland for fear of the said navy. The substantial men of Edinburgh
carried away their goods for fear of the army's coming.

parcel of the garrison. As Lisle, although well qualified, has small
experience of the Borders, and Cumberland is yet young, the King
prays "you, my lord of Duresme," to remain there for a time to aid
and advise the Warden ; to whom also' Norfolk, Suffolk, &o. , shall
before leaiving appoint three or four other grave and experienced coun-
cillors. They shall inform Hertford of this, and desire him to tarry
on the Borders until the Viscount's arrival. (3) Since it would be hard
to victual a garrison of 4,000, and they have written that 1,500 might
suffice, and also that the number appointed for Carlisle is superfluous,
they shall lay but 1,500 until the Viscount's coming, who shall bring
500 or 600 of his countrymen with him, and so make over 2,000 in aill.
They shall at once order provision of victuals for that number to be
made in Leic., Notts., and the parts specified in the King's former
letters. (4) Was moved to appoint 600 men to lie at Carlisle as an
encouragement to> those Borderers, who> haive ever served well, and to
enable the Deputy Warden there to invade Scotland by agreement with
the Warden, and also because Cumberland, who was a great stay to
those Marches, shall now lie with the Warden. But if this is im-
possible, they shall appoint only the 2,000 men which Lord Lisle is
to have. (5) Having appointed the great number of ships to keep the
seas this winter to bei victualled from time to time at Hull ; although
wheat is there " under a noble," the parts about Hull are to be spared
a® much as possible.

be done without the books of -certificates of every man's number, which
remain with the lord President. Will use diligence to provide the
number. Do not agree with him that he has no more occasion to
remain than they; for although Rutland is appointed he will scarce
have received his commission yet, and, being newly returned home
with meni and horses wearied, and 160 miles from the Borders, and in
ill health, it will be some time ere he can return ; and Hertford's com-
mission endures until then, as Rutland's did until Suffolk's coming,
although Suffolk had his commission long before, and a.s Suffolk's did
unitil Hertford's commission was received in his presence at Ber-
wick. They do not, a,s he writes1, appoint him to remain and lay
the burden on his neck, but only advise him to do as themselves would ;
and they require him to put out of his head the thought that they
would do otherwise. Will endeavour to alleviate him from that charge
as soon as possible.
Considering Rutland's debility and distance from the Borders, they
have, with Suffolk and Durham, written to the Kinsr that Cumberland
is a more meet man to serve. Look for answer on Friday or Saturday,
and meanwhile have caused Rutland to make ready. Have also sent for
Cumberland to be with them on Friday, so that if he is to have the
room no time may be lost. Suffolk, having perused the King's letters,
which Hertford returned this day, has1 gone to his house in Lincoln-

give place in this matter as to elders and masters. The whole Fellow-

one who, four years past, withdrew his1 wife and household to Andwerpe
and dwells there as a freeman (some think) of the town; and (2)
secondly, that, after compromitting by letter the nomination to them
and their choice (with only one dissentient) of the said Castelyn, you
refused him and chose one* most unfit. We require you quietly to give

Borders, shall be in arreadiness ; but cannot promise how they shall
be horsed here (by reason of their great loss of horses at their late
being there) or victualled. Where you advertise us that the King
will have 60 gunners laid between the East amd Middle Marches, we,
before our departure, appointed them by six, eight and ten in the
garrisons where they may do> best service. They number 150, and are
laid in the places named ini the enclosed bill. If the 4,000 men are
to lie in garrison, Thos. Waters, of Lynne, and Tho'S. Wodehouse, of
Wroxham, should be written to to send oats, beans, and malt thither,
but provision of wheat and barley need not be made until the store
at Berwick and Newcastle is more nearly spent. The grain that came

Edw. Middilton, late of Helay in Massanieshire, Yorka, examined
before Sir Hen. Savell, Sir Ma,rm. Cunstable, Sir Wm. Mallory, Wm.
Babthorpe, and Bobt. Chailoner, by command of my lord of Norfolk,
says that, on Saturday* next after the commotion, when the King's
pardon was published at Pountefrete, he went home to his house until
Ninian Staveley came to himf saying, " if thowe lefts' it so, we were all
undone," and wished him to go to Middilhame Moor, to meet other
of the commons. Went with Staveley to Laurence Servant and Thos.
Lobley, who refused to go with them, so they went alone to Middilhame
Moor, and there met 200 or 300 men. After much communication and
contrary opinions, they appointed to meet at Richmond the Monday
after. Then the bailiff of the town made a proclamation against the
commons, and every mam departed. Went home and stayed two or
three days, until Wm,. Toppame, of Cowesterdale, said that men had
been with spears to search for him. Thereupon took his horse; and
rode to Killington in Kendall, where he was born. Staveley departed
from him at Richmond, and went to Carlisle (as he heard), and was a)
captain there, but examinatei never saw him again. Lodged at
Killington with John Lyndsay one night, and with a kinisman, Simon
Middleton, of Akerige Grene, another night; where a boy, who had
been at the mill, told him that the bailiff was saying "he would cause
his own kinsman to take him." Thereupon rode to Cowenei Bridge and
so to Cowlinghedde in Craven, where servants of the earl of Cumber-
land made such narrow search to take him thaifc he was compelled to
leave his horse and stuff and hide for two days in a hole in the
ground. He then departed over the moors by St. Anne of Bukston's
to Riddingtone, four miles from Nottingham, where he tarried at
Symsone's alehouse as long as he had any money. Tarried there, be-
cause it was near the highway from Kendal to London, and he hoped
thus to speak with Kendal mem, until five weeks "bypaste." There he
"made hay, forked the wain and other labour, and also laboured to
Jerves Ansley, being lord of thei town, to be the common pinder, for
which his wages was worth yearly xx.s. ; and one year he was the
" crawe keper " of the common field, and had for his wages vs. ; and so
lived five years amongst them, part by his labour and part of charity."

No man asked why he was there or his name, " but they called him
sometimes the old man and sometimes the halt pinder." Examined
who of his old acquaintance he spoke with ; he says that, " Christmas
was a twelve month," he spoke with John Lindsey, who was riding
to London, to borrow money. Lindsey said he had none, but would
help him another time or else send to his wife. Spoke again with
Lindsey about the Assumption of Our Lady last, " and then required a
horse of him, saying he would go home. And Lyndsay said, ' May ye
do so?' And this exanimate said, 'Yeal, I trust the King's general
pardon will serve me.'" Lyndsay then gave1 him 8c£., and leave to
take an old horse he had at grass at Nottingham ; and so he tarried
for the amending of the horse, which was lean and tired. Never heard
from his wife; albeit two years ago he sent an old man to her, who
brought ba,ck word that he could not find her. Three weeks past he
took the horse and came by Wersoppe, Wentbrige, Weddirby, and
home, openly. His neighbours welcomed him, and some asked whether
he had the King's pardon. After a week, and going to the church
and other places, thinking to get some master to speaik for him to* my
lord of Norfolk, he made himself a white coat, and went to Newcastle,
but Norfolk was then gone into Scotlandj. Doubting whether the
general pardon would serve him, he came back home; atnd when he
heard of Norfolk's return, wetnt again towards Newcastle. About
Chester in le Strete he missed Norfolk, and rode on until he
met Mr. Marm. Wyvell, who told him that Norfolk was ridden by,
and asked how he (exanimate) did;. Thos. Bayne, "Wyvell's servant,
said that examinate's soni was at London, merry, and one of his master's
sons had spoken with him there; but he himself has never heard of
his son since his departure from him at Kendal. Lodged at Duresme
the night Norfolk lay there, and next might lodged at Crofte Brigge,
and went thence to Leonard Warcoppe's, whom he found in the field.

Has often written of the danger to himself and his realm from
the King of England, and prayed his Holiness for a, remedy. Suffered
continual incursions all summer. First, nearly 10,000 aoned men de-
vastated his borders, whom he defeated; then a formidable army of
40,000, and a great number of ships of war, invaded his realm, but he
repulsed them. The King of England rages so against him only because
he refuses to desert the Holy See, and will not join him in war against
the French king; but these things his Holiness will know more
fully by the letters of the Cardinal of .St. Andrew's. Hals
hitherto withstood him unaided1 ; but he is endowed with tremendous
resource®, and will doubtless bend them to compel James to
follow his impiety or else devastate his kingdom. Begs him to use
his influence with the Christian princes to send speedy succour; for if
this fire is neglected it will shortly pervade all Christendom. Will do

Instructions given to Viscount Lisle, appointed by commission

foranempst Scotland.
First, to hasten to the Borders with the 500 men he is appointed to
levy as part of the garrisoni there, present the King's letters to the
earl of Hertford, now lord warden there, whom the King will thereupon
revoke, the earls of Westmoreland and Cumberland, bp. of Durham
and others appointed to be of the King's Council with him ; and learn
from them the state of the country and garrison, what the Scots haive
done since the invasion and what they intend; and thereupon place the
whole garrison, which the King has appointed, by letters to my lord
of Norfolk and others of his Council lately on the Borders, to be 2,500,
or at least 2,000, men. As soon as Hertford is gone, the said viscount
and his counsellors shall take musters of the whole garrison, as they
shall do monthly, and set order for watch to be kept. Second, they
shall get sure espial in Scotland to know what the king of Scots and
his noblemen and others do. Third, he shall in nowise venture to ride
in person into> Scotland without the advice of his whole Council, and
then only with a force too strong for any sudden assembly of the Scots
to resist; but he shall sometimes send raids into Scotland under the
earl of Cumberland, Sir Hie. Maners, and other of the captains, to do
notable damage. Fourth, they shall, monthly, after the musters, see
a book made of every captain's charge, and the expenses of their retinues,
diets, &c., signed by three of them, for the discharge of the treasurer
there, and send up to the King's Council a note of the book of the
month past and of the money remaining in the treasurer's hands. Fifth,
they shall always foresee that necessary victuals remain in store to serve
the fortresses at least five or six months, and also the garrisons, among
whom a sudden lack might breed inconvenience. Finally, where the
King wrote to Norfolk, Suffolk and others of his Council late ini tho*se
parts, to set order on the Borders, that order shall in nowise be broken,
except by the full consent of all his Council now there,

I have this afternoon received your letters of the 8th inst.
In
my former letters my advice was that you should return to Newcastle,
because I saw you make such haste away that I doubt/ed whether you
would stay before you came to Court; and I reckoned it the best place
to remain at, for ordering things according to the King's letters to us,
and that you were no further off than your former letter bare date.
Now that I perceive you are at York preparing 4,000 men to be sent
hither, I have written! to the Council attending the King's person that,
this month expired, there is nothing to be done which should require
any such number, half of which would suffice to defend the country.
Provision of horsemeat must first be made, for there is not in all the
country enough to serve 2,000 horses till Christmas. There is scarce
straw to find their cattle, " and as for the oats, as ye know, they occupy
them for bread and drink." The horses hers are so fcebled and
famished " that they will scarce carry a man ten miles any pace without
tiring." It is better to forbear them, since they will come too late for
any enterprise. As for my abode here, notwithstanding your advice,

Although he has written of affairs here to the Datary, ntuncio
with the French king, who lias doubtless reported them, thinks it
his duty to write. Since July the English King has continually
harassed Scotland with incursions, which have been resisted with such
spirit that at the end of August 10,000 English were completely de-
feated and destroyed. Not long after the English King prepared 30
ships of war and an army of 40,000 men, under the dukes of Norfolk
and Suffolk, and most of his mobility. Upon this the King prepared
an army nowise inferior either in number or equipment; but the
English, when scarce two miles withim Scotland, on the fifth day after
they had entered, hearing of the advance of the King's army, fled back
into England without doing anything notable. At that time of year
the King could not pursue them, but sent part of his horse, who more
than compensated the damage the English had done. Now the borders
on both sides are strongly guarded, and there are mutual daily inroads.
The only cause of the war is that the King will not revolt from the
Holy See and take part against the French'king, his father-in-law. The

fear of war. Duchy of Juliers laid waste by the Imperial forces. In
Hungary a standard bearer of Strasburg and his men and an officer of
Ulm were entirely cut to pieces at the siege of Pest. The English (in
what spirit Bullinger may determine for himself) have proclaimed
deadly war with Scotland, unless .she will banish the Pope, raze the
monasteries and prohibit the worship of saints; all which things except
the monasteries this tyrannical Proteus retains in his own kingdom. If
Scotland do net accept our terms the war will be terrible. There are
120,000 English and Irish troops, including forces by land and sea.

for him. Salute Master Theodore Bibliander, my gossip and preceptor.

which it appears that he has appointed Lord Lisle to be Warden of the
Marches, and the earl of Cumberland to be sworn of the Council there
with him, my lord of Durham to remain for a time to advise Lisle. The
letters direct them to appoint three or four grave persons to be of
Council with Lisle, whose arrival Hertford is required to await. The
King will have on the Borders 2,000 men, whereof 1,500 are to be of
the North parts, and the remainder Lisle will bring from the South.

Perhaps the King thinks him slack in sending news and annoy-

what his forces are before he attempts anything. For a week past has
travailed to learn this, and consulted about exploits to be done in Scot-
land by the garrison, which numbers 2,571. Those who took the musters
and their own captains, say that the soldiers' horses will scant carry them
8 or 10 miles "a foot pace;" except the companies of my lord of
Anguishe, Sir Balpb Evre, Brian Laton, Carre, Sotell and George
Heron, about 300 men. Asks what exploit is possible with such horse-
men, who are wearying to be despatched hence. Would rather have
2,000 willing footmen. Has nevertheless taken such order that, by the
end of this week, exploits shall be done to the King's contentation. Re-
ceived this day a letter from Norfolk to> John Gary, vice-admiral, now in
the Frithe, which shall be delivered at his arrival. Pa.rt of the ships
should lie at Holy Eland and keep the seas this winter, to prevent the
Scots from uttering their wool and salmon, which is their only com-

worst furnished men for such aittemptates that ever came to these
Borders, for their captains affirm that the soldiers' horses will scantly
bear them 8 or 10 miles at a foot pace, and some not 2 miles, except
the companies of my lord of Anguishe, Sir Ralph Eure, Brian Laton,

are to be done with such horsemen " much desirous to be at home," your
wisdoms can judge, for I had lever have 2,000 willing footmen than all
this number of ill-furnished horsemen.
Before the receipt* of your letters I had appointed that the garrisons,

of Sir Ralph Eure, Sir Wm. Buhner and Ralph Buhner should, this
Monday night, meet at Barwik and pass secretly to Coldingham, and
there begin to raise fire, spoiling and consuming the country hitherward
without respect of person. It has been so secretly handled that none
shall kno'W it until the meeting at Barwik to-night. Also before the
receipt of your letters, f I had determined that on Thursday night mext
the same men under Sir Tho®. Hilton, Sir Ralph Eure, Sir Wm. Buhner,
Ralph Bulmer, John Horsley and Robt. Colyngwood shall meet at the
Stone of Crokeham More, and enter Tivedale as far as Lempet Lawe,
Hoselawe, Gradone, Thuiiestone Barnes, Cheretrees a stede of Henry
Taytis, Towne Yatham, Kirke Yatham, Clifton and Hahop, wasting
and consuming with fire and sword from these places homewards. The
same night I have also appointed that George Heron, with Tyndale and
Riddisdale, shall enter Scotland as far as the water of Rowle, and as
near Jedworth as they can go>, and thence burn and destroy homewards.

had been at Amyas in council. His man learnt that it was for the
revictualling of Thurwen and furnishing of the frontier garrisons, and
that men of arms were mustering at Rowne. Going on to Rowne, he
met 400 footmen conducting waggons towards Amyas, with victual
and munitions for Mounstrell, where they make their staple for re-
victualling Theurwen. At Rowen he saw the musters taken and the
horsemen despatched to Amya®, for Hesdyn, Dourlans and Arde. Le
Roy Tyftoff, who was to come to Ardei, is appointed, with another
captain, to go into Scotland. "As touching his band he cannot tell
whether they go with him or not, but in mime opinion they go not,

to spoil a village called Lowches, but were surrounded by 400 footmen
and 50 horse from Arde, who took 80 Burgundians, and killed most
of the Englishmen, for St. Chevall has commanded that " Englishmen^
Bourgonions " are to be killed, not taken prisoners. Wallop's informant
was at Arde when the prisoners were brought in, and saw above 30
bows, thought to be Englishmen's, carried on men's shoulders. The
French say the said Englishmen fought marvellously well. If so many
Englishmen have really been killed by St. Cheivall's command, Wallop
will write to him roundly of his cruelty. Mons. de Vandosme is returned

structions to pass nothing which could be interpreted to the Pope's
prejudice. On the other hand, she considers Chapuys' s fear that, through
delay and the King's despite at beini£ sent from one to another, French
practices may be entertained which, even without leading to an alliance,
would make it more difficult to treat, and require the passing of things
more exorbitant than the present demands, to the hindrance of the
Emperor's affairs, and especially of the countries of her government. In
this uncertainty she would be glad if he could temporise until answer
comes to his letter of the 2nd inst. ; but, if he thinks that the English
would break off or enter practices with the French, she would rather
be of advice to accept the last articles which the King's commissioners
wrote, as inserted in his letters of the 2nd, which are less obligatory
with regard to the Pope than the general words promising defence
against all princes and potentates of whatsoever state or condition, and
can be better excused, provided that Chapuys is sure that the King will
demand nothing more, contrary to the Emperor's intention, and that
the article about the observance of the treaty is couched in more
reasonable terms. Where the King's commissioners require the 6th
and 7th articles to be inserted after the 4th, although this alteration
is not required without mystery, it may be granted. As to the rest of
the difficulties1 which Chapuys has apostyled upon the bill he sent, she
would gladly be relieved from giving advice, and await the Emperor's
answer, but, for the sake of the affairs of her government, will give her
opinion, viz. : —
Where the Commissioners are content to reform the 2nd article as in
the treaty of Cambray, with addition of the clause " salvis legibus et
constitutionibus regni ; " that clause is meant to get an approval of
their laws, and Chapuys must do his utmost to have it omitted, as it
would restrain the freedom of intercourse, contrary to the effect of
closer amity, but, if they persist, he may consent to put it " salvis legibus,
statutis, ordinationibus et conistitutionibus regnorum, patriarum,
dominiorum et terra.rum," to make the article equal and reciprocal,
not that she means thereby to approve any laws contrary to our Faith,
of which there is no> need at present to make question. The 5th article
of the rebels reformed as in Cambray, with the term of 1 5 days expressed
and the clause " si commode fieri poterit," seems reasonable. As to
the isles,* since the Kings of England have possessed them time out of
mind, the Emperor is content to have them named, nor need difficulty
be made upon the 8th article. Her preceding letters have explained
the inequality in the contribution for defence; and she requires him to
see it made more equal, since the English confess that it ought to be
so. For the other articles (which he expects that they will accord in
pursuance of the bill which came from Spain, save that they will not
accord the aid defensive for more than four, or at most, five [months],
nor hold the Emperor excused when engaged in war on the Italian side
against France or the Turk), he must follow as best as he can the
Emperor's instructions. For the treaty of intercourse and the 15th and
18th articles, refers to her preceding letters. Is glad that the English
are content to' leave the aid naval, insomuch as these countries might
have been overburdened in giving assistance both by sea and land.
Desires him to do his best for the conclusion of the treaty, according
to the Emperor's intention, assuring the King of the good affection that
the Emperor and she bear to the closer alliance with him in order
to avail themselves of his advice and counsel, &c.

Received, by his lieutenant, the Queen's letter and his. It seems
that the Queen understands that the French prisoners were taken out-
side the English pale, which they were not ; and, as to her desire that
her men may pa.ss and repass to make their enterprises, any passage to
make an enterprise is forbidden, but the return with prisoners or booty
may be made through the Pale. The King wrote to Marshal de Beez,
who, in* reply, writes that henceforth he will forbid his men to pursue
Burgundians inito the Pale. Will send the Queen's letter to the King.

to himself, had ordered Wallop to deliver the prisoners taken withia
the Pale without paying ransom to the Burgundians. By these letters

19 Nov. 1100. HERTFORD to HENRY VIII.
Since the last raid to Coldingham, of which he wrote on the
15th, he arranged another on Thursday night last, by 2,000 horsemen
from the garrisons and the country round, who met at the Stone of
Crokhani More. Under the leading of Sir Thos. Hilton, Sir Ralph
Eure, Sir Wm. Buhner, Ralph Bulmer, Robt. Colingwod, and John
Horseley, they entered Scotland six miles within the replenished ground
and burnt the places following, with much corn, viz., the towns of
Clifton, Hayhope, Towne Yatham, Kirk Yatham, Prymssyd, Croke-
shaws and Thirlestown, villages called Fomerden* and Bornfoote, steads
called Primssid Yates, Primssid Milnes, Clifton Cote, Cberitres, Stang-
ford, Over Graidon, Nether Graidon, Wynnybreys, Dandy Young of the
Woodside, the Fawside, the Loughtowr, and Halibredholme, and a peel
called Bare ArS. These places maintainied 140 ploughs. They had
burnt much more corn remaining in the fields but it was wet with the
snow that fell the same night. They should have had the greatest booty
made in Scotland these 20 years, but the Scots had intelligence of their
coming, although Hertford took precautions (described) to secure secrecy.
To cause a diversion, sent George Heron, with his fifty men, and the
men of Tindaile and Ridesdale, into West Tevidale along the water
of Rowle towards Jedburgh, but has not yet heard what they have done.
Encloses intelligence out of Scotland. Alnwick castle, 19 Nov.
P.S. — George Heron has since come and declared that he and those
with him burnt towns called Abbotes Rowle, 3 miles from Jedburgh
and Harwod and took 3 prisoners, 140 head of nowt, 280 sheep and
30 nags and mares.

French king, and to receive the rents of the Queen and Cardinal. (3)
The Scots intend an invasion, to burn corn in revenge for that burnt by
the English army and since. (4) They sa.y there were 12,000 horse to have
meddled with the horsemen of England when the foot host was going
over Tweed homeward ; but the earl of Huntley refused that enterprise,
and so they call him a " coward captain." " To this article mine espial,"
then one of Huntley's retinue, says there were but 4,000 horse and
3,000 foot. (5) The Scots say their lords are faint hearted not to come
with more speed against the English, and that their King is displeased :
when commanded to muster the Scottish army, they certified but 12,000
for 20,000, because they were afraid. (6) The Scots suppose they were
above 100,000, whereof most were Irishmen, " whichi be very slaves, and
no men of good order," who have destroyed ais much within Scotland
without paying for it as the English army did. To this my espial says
the Scots were under 20,000 men. (7) There were with the Scots army
89 carts with two small guns in each, " which shot about the greatness
of a man's thumb,'' 18 pieces somewhat greater, 7 field pieces, and 2
great guns. (8) There is none of reputation in Scotland able to manage
any enterprise save the earl of Argyle, " and one Mr. Kilmawres, who is
th'admiral of Scotland." (9) Sir Robt. Bowes and Sir Roger Lassellet?
are ini the Cardinal's keeping at St. Andrew's castle, very straitly kept ;
Ric. Bowes and Slyngesby in the bp. of Morrey's at his house called
Spyini, 160 miles north of Edinburgh. Sir John Wethrington is in
keeping of one Shynkler at Roslyn, 6 miles from, Edinburgh; John
Heron in that of the lord of Edmerston, two miles from Edinburgh,
[and (blank} Tempe® in that of the lord of Sesforth].*
(10) My espial affirms these articles and adds that divers merchants
and others of Fief desired their King's licence to go aboard the English
navy in the Friethe and sent them salmon, ale and wine. The King
has imprisoned them, saying he licensed them to speak with the English
navy, not to victual it. Certain fishermen, dragging for oysters, met
the English ships coming out of the Friethe and sold them oysters ; for
which the Scottish king hanged them forthwith.
ii. " Advertisements had by a servant of Sir Cuthbert Ratcliffes, who
arrived here out of Scotland from his master, the xixth of November."
(1) That his master showed him the bishop of Glasco, chancellor of
Scotland, " in whose keeping he is, at Glasco, very well entreated," atnd
said the Chancellor would be glad of peace, and thought the King and
lords would agree to any reasonable conditions, but for the Cardinal
and certain bishops. (2) There is very great scarcity in the land he
came through. (3) Alex. Creghton was at Glascoi, with the Chancellor,
and afterwards left for France.

That Argyle had with him in the Scottish host 12,000 Irishmen and
2,200 carriage horses. The Scots were more afraid of these Irish than
of the English army, for they destroyed corn and victuals, and killed
all who resisted them. These Irish when they come to their lodgings
kill their oxen and kine, set the paunch upon stakes and therein boil
the flesh, and then sew the green hide about their feet for shoes. They
throw away beds and lie in a mantle in the straw, and in the morning
run into water up to their knees to supple the said shoes when shrunk.
The bishop of Glasco, chancellor, in whose keeping Ratcliff is, said the
King and lords woiild agree to anything reasonable, to have peace, if
it were not for the Cardinal and some of the bishops. There is extreme
scarcity in the country he came through.

Yesterday evening, Mona de Byes came to Arde with 200 horse-

and willed his men to roll up the pendents at the points of their staves.
This day, he hasi viewed the fortifications, and sent Mons. de Focquel-

before he himself departs, a course shall be made to Owderwyke or
elsewhere of the Burgundians' pale; for many men be ready within
Bolonose, but far from 6,000 as they call themselves. This day came
to Arde 20 waggons, each containing two pieces of wine, convoyed by
10 light horse and 100 footmen. They are victualling Arde. Callee,

Immediately afterwards St. Chevall wrote that, that morning, the Bur-
gundians of Oderwyke, with 40 or 50 Englishmen!, came to pille a village
called Lowchez ; where certain of his band and captain Dampont's slew
thirty or forty of them, and took prisoners the captaini of Oderwike, 2
archers, and 63 footmen, among whom were 16 Englishmen; and he
desired to know whether Wallop would have the Englishmen! sent to
him. Thanked him and advised him to deliver the prisoners, as he did
the Burgundians, for their month's wages, and send any who were in
the King's wages, and had departed without leave, to Wallop to punish ;
offering further to ransom any tall men among them. Next day sent
one to see them, who was gently received, and was asked whether he
brought a purse full of crowns to ransom the Englishmen. He answered
that he would first see them ; and, when they were brought, he liked
them so ill, that he said the captain might do what he liked with all
save two, whom he would ransom. The captalins that took them, said
they would do good service in the French king's galleys, and Wallop's man
said he thought so too, and that the realm was well rid of such a sort of
rascal. WTien they saw Wallop's man make so light of them, St.
Chevall and the other captains said he might take them back with him,
on paying their charges, and showing them that if taken! again among
thei Burgundians they should be hanged. They were the worst sort of
rascals Wallop has seen, all save two, who are right tall men, one of
whom fought best of any man there, and with his bow killed three
Frenchmen. Has taken him into the Castle wages. Among the 25
killed were very proper men. Had the Burgundians done their part,
the Frenchmen should have had the overthrow. Mons. de Beez, being
yesterday at Arde, said they fought better than the Burgundians, but
not so well, by report, as he had seen them in time past, " declaring how
many horses they had killed of his in other wars." The bailly of
Guisnesi was by, who was: there about an Englishman killed between
Arde and Tourneham, by soldiers of Arde, whom Mons. de Beez promised
to make search for. Mons. de Beez came to Arde om Saturday last
with 200 horse, passing through the forest atrmed as if the enemies
were by, and, without fail, Burgundians do daily haunt the forest.
Mons. de Foxall, with 60 horse, rode a good distance before him " with
his gyttorn, and with himself was carried another not so great as a
standard."' Perhaps his! coming1 is for conveyance of the wine amd
munitions which haive, since come from Bulleni; but some think that
the captain of Oderwike being taken, he means to take the church of
Oderwike, the strongest hold in Bredenerd. Hears this morning that
horsemen are at Wast, and that all the horsemen of these frontiers
shall shortly join with a number of footmen for a great course upon
the Burgundians, or else to revictual Thurwen; at which enterprise
Mons. de Vandosme and Mons. de Beez shall meet.
On Saturday last the Regent of Flanders sent him a letter, by which
it appears she was informed that the French prisoners stayed here
were taken on French ground. Showed this to the lieutenant of
Gravelines Castle, who brought the letter; who confessed that he was
at Court when the information was given to her, which he since perceived
to be untrue, and he thought thatt she would be satisfied when she kniew
the truth. Told the lieutenant that he would not take upon him to
answer the Regent's letter, but would send it to the King, and, to satis-
fy the captain [of Gravelines], would write again why he delivered the
prisoners; which he did (copy enclosed, together with the Regent's

The king of Scots, at his last being in Edinburgh, charged his
lords and servants with being faint-hearted, because they had not, at
his desire, set upon the rearward of the King's army (as Hertford wrote)
or devastated Northumberland. To pacify him, they promised that,
before the light of this moon ended, they would do exploits which
should content him ; and upon this they have assembled all their ser-
vants and friends [14,000 or 15,000 men].* The King lay Tuesday might
at Murous (altered from Pebles) or Selkerigge, with the Cardinal!,
Murrey, and other lords. Oliver Seyntclere went that night to Home
castle, and met the; gentlemen of the Merse; while Tevydale went to
Murous to the King. John Barton is preparing two ships of war. On
Wednesday night Hertford's espial reported that the Scots would enter
in two hosts, one between! Esk and Leven and the other on the Cokket
or in Glendale. This morning the captain of Berwick writes that 2,000
Scots came on Tuesday night to Prymsid Gates in Tevidale; but turned
back on perceiving that these parts had warning by Hertford's proclama-
tion to resist them, and meant this night to burn Etell and Foorde.

Upon his letters for provision to be made for Lord Lisle's horse,
has laid in a garner 80 qr. of beans. Hay and oats are not to be got.
The horses on these Borders are fed on straw, which, because the corn
was not inned dry, is musty, so1 that many die daily and the rest are
little worth. Unless provision be shortly made from the South no

On the 22nd inst., at 10 p.m., received Hertford's, dated Alnwick
the 21st, with the proclamation, which is proclaimed. On the 23rd, at
7 p.m., received his of the 22nd, signifying that the Scots intended to
waste Heske and Leven. Having intelligence of great assemblies in
Scotland, and considering the light of this moon, wrote secretly on the
18th for all gentlemen of the West Marches to be at Carlisle on the
22nd after sunset. Meant next day, Thursday, to burn Middlebie, 8
miles within Scotland, and lay a bushment for lord Maxwell (being at
Loughmaben) and the Anerdalles and another for Robert Maxwell,
who lay at Langholme tower. Left Carlisle by 9 o'clock, and was at
Clo'ose Gap, the meeting place, by 12 at night. Sundry gentlemen of
Westmoreland, who had been warned by the earl of Cumberland to be
ready to garrison Northumberland, and some of lord Dacre's tenants,
kept not their appointment; so that the purpose could not be carried
out, but they burned " the said town standing near ai strength of wood,"
and returned, burning houses and corn upon Kirtill to Carlisle.
Encloses names of gentlemen with him in Carlisle. By beacons (fired
at Carlisle this night at 8 p.m.) and messages, puts the West Marches

1121. SIB WM. MUSGRAVE to SIR ANT. BROWNE.
On the 24th inst. a great army of Scotland, numbering 18,000,
entered these Marches, and burnt the Graimes's houses upon Esk and
in the Debateable Ground. Master Warden, the writer, and all other
gentlemen of these marches made speed towards them with 3,000
men at the most; sending Thos. Dacre, Jac of Musgrave and other
Border spears to prick a,t them, while the rest, putting away their
horses, inarched up on foot within two arrow shot of the enemies
to give battle. At this the noblemen and gentlemen of Scot-
land lighted off their horses; but the multitude durst not give
battle, so they mounted again. Then the writer's brother Simon
Musgrave, Jac Musgrave, and others of his rule, and the Graimes
" pricked sore at them, Thomas D'acre with the men of Gillesland,
and John Leigh, with the barony of Brough standing in a flieng
stadle," and as the footmen marched forward, the Scots withdrew softly,
until Jac Musgrave aind others aforenamed, with the writer's cousin
Ayglyoinby, set on them and struck down many, and the rest fled over
Esk. Lord Maxwell and other noblemen and courtiers lighted at the
waterside and fought valiantly, but were taken prisoners. The horsemen
of England took from, two to five prisoners each, and also 5 fawcons, 5
demifaicons, and many half hakes. It is thought that Lord Flemyng is
taken, and the lord of Lowhentveure drowned. Over ai thousand of their
best men are taken or s/laan. Never saw goodlier personages. The
Graimes and others who follow, will this night take many more; for
they are past resisting, and, having left their victual and wallets behind,
are like to famish ere they come home. Cannot report what other noble-
men and gentlemen are taken, for most of the prisoners are mot yet
brought ini. Trusts Browne will declare these pleasant tidings to the
Kimg, and take in good part this first knowledge of them. Of English-
men only Robt. Brisccw, a pensioner, and one Dogeson, a> yeoman, are
dead as yet. Begs help for his brother Simon, or cousin Ric. Musgra^a
to have Briscow's pemsion. Yesterday Master Warden and the writer,
with 2,000 men, went into Scotland and tarried in a bushment within
half a mile of Mydleby, while the writer's men, under Jac Musgrave,
burned eight "great dwelling places cailed unsettes, and all their corn."
Other gentlemen, as Thos. Dacre and John Leigh, were appointed to go,
but had not forty men there. All the Graimes were there, but they
burned not. Two other " unsettes " were burnt. Sends at bill of articles
" exploict in Scotland " by Jac Musgrave, since 20 Oct., with other
letters. Credence for bearer, who took two prisoners in the chase.

countries of Lodiene, Twedale, Ettrik Forest, Widdell,f Jedworthe Forest,
Liddirsdale, Galawaye and elsewhere entered towards the Whele Cawsy,
between the West and Middle Marches, 23 Nov., the King of Scots
lying that night at Pebilles. Wrote on Monday and Tuesday last to
my lord of Cumberland, Sir Tho>s. Wharton and Walter Strikland to
be ready with victuals for four days, and trusts the Scots will find the
West Marches better prepared than they supposed. This Saturday
morning Sir Wm. Eure wrote that the King of Scots left Edinburgh on
Tuesday last, aill which day and night horses and men from Angwys and
Fiff came over the Frithe in boats, and passed towards the West Marches
with their King. The Cardinal and Murrey await the King's return at
Hadyngton. The Marshe and Tividale are warned to resist invasion,
and only 80 tried men from them attend their King. Reported that two
ships were preparing with John Barton, but hears now that six are
prepared.
Being sure that the Scots are gone to the West Marches, has devised
some annoyance for their East Marches. By the Council's letters of

Sat this day in the Motehaull of Carlisle to receive presentation
o-f the Scottish prisoners, but, as things were not ready, has deferred it,
by proclamation, until next Monday.
Lord Dumlanrik has said to him, " There are now in your hands upon
these Marches those men, with good order, which may make peace or
conquest of Scotland at the King's will." Dumlanrik desired to speak
with Maxwell secretly, and the writer1 supped with them, and heard their
talk. Maxwell spoke to like effect, and desired to speak secretly with
Oliver Senklere, but Whartoni would not grant it. Thinks that if Hert-
ford would come to Carlisle, the sequel would redound to the King's
honor.
The king of Scots lay at Loughmaben castle the night before the
enterprise, and came to Burnswairke hill to see the fire. Was himself
with the English standards further into Scotland than that the day
before. The standards with him both days were lord Parre's in the
rule of Walter Strikland, Sir Wm,. Musgrave's, Sir Thos. Curwen's, Sir
John Lother's, and Wm. Pennyngton's. These, with Sir Jas. Laburn,
Thos. Dacre, John Leighe, Thos. Sandforth, Edw. Aglonby, Ant. Dukket,
John Preston, Gilb. Wharton, John Warcope, Cuthb. Huton, John Mus-
grave, Thos. Blenerasset, Thos. Denton, Wm. Porter, the Grames, and
many others, served the King better than he can write. Won more
standards than those atforesaid. Lord Someirvell says there were 30
standards in the field. " There was th'earl of Glencarn, otherwise called
th'eaii of Kilmaures, now prisoner, th'earl of Cassillis, some saith that
he is slain, th'earl of Arell and th'earl of Menteth." Trusts to-day to
get most of the prisoners of honor and gentlemen of name and keep
them asunder. If Hertford come hither, will attend him from Hawt-
wisell over the mo'or. Carlisle castle, 26 Nov., 5 a.m.

Encloses letters and schedule of names of prisoners, received this
Monday [at noon]* from Whatrton, As they begin to speak of peace
and conquest, has commanded that ten) of them, and such others as
Wharton thinks fit, may be sent to Newcastle on Saturday next; for
it seems more to the Bang's honor to have them brought to his warden,
and more displeasure to their friends to have them conveyed further into
England. Seeing Maxwell's desire to speak secretly with Syntclere, who
is " the most secret man living with the said king of Scots," has ordered
Wharton to keep them apart until they come to Newcastle. Another
reason against Hertford's going to Carlisle is that lord Lile will arrive
at Newcastle, and should be instructed of affairs and where to direct
his men and the earl of Cumberland's. Alnwick, 27 Nov.

(altered from 10 Nov.), accompanied by Dingwell pursuivant. Two miles
from Dunbar, as it began to be dark, Somerset and his boy were
riding in front, when two men on horseback and one on) foot
passed Berwick and Dimgwell, and, coming up to Somerset, one of
the horsemen ran him through from behind with a lance while
the other struck him to the heart with ai dagger, and the third
struck down the boy with his sword. The horsemen then
lighted off their horses, aind the pursuivants; rode* up, saying,
" Fie on you, traitors, ye have donie a shameful act.." They then ran for
their horses, one saying to< the other, " Fie, we have lost the other
heretic," which Berwick hearing spurred his horse and escaped. The
strange men them returned to the body of Somerset, which they spoiled
of all save doublet and hose, aind gave the boy ten bloody wounds, and bade
the Scottish pursuivant witness that they were John. Prestmani, Wm.
Leche and his brother, banished Englishmen, who had slain Somerset.
Berwick fled to Ennerwik ca&tle, and sent next day to* the Council, to
speak with the King and them, who sent answer by letter for James
Hamilton, laird of the caistle, with one Wm. Hume, to convey him safe
into England. Which was done; but first he went back, and had
Somerset's body honestly buried in Dunbar parish church, and the boy's
wounds attended to.
Berwick says there were eight good ships of war ready to sail with all
haste. Hamilton and Hume said there was like to be contention be-
tween the temporal and spiritual lords, because the temporal lords were
not of counsel " of the late rode made in the West Marches of England

the letter he wrote on the 13th, although he wrote no word that he

The Scots lodged the night before in two powers, one ait Langhome
and the other at Mortoni kirk in the Eatable land, in all 14,000 (some
say 20,000), fortified with strong foray si and reliefs. They had 4 falconets
of brass, 12 bases, "two upon every cart and three half bases upon one
cart," and 30 standards. They began to burn an hour and a, half after
daylight at Heske foot, and so burnt to Akeshawhill, 2 miles, Whar-

their numbers herewith," at Carlisle on 22 Nov., and they had on the
23rd burnt Middlebie and certain houses on Kirtill water. As
they returned to Carlisle, before supper, Hertford's letters from
Alnwick of the 22nd arrived, showing that the Scots would with
great power on the 23rd or 24th burn Hesk and Levyn. That
night espials reported the Scots at Langholme and Morton-
kirke, and at daybreak Wharton marched towards Levyn with
300 men. Describes how they halted by the waiter of Levyn, and their
prickers drew the Scots towards Artureth howes; how they then with
six standards (viz., lord Parre's under " my " cousin Walter Strikland,
my cousin Sir Wm. Musgrave's, my brother-in-law Sir Thos. Curwen's,
my cousin and deputy Sir John Lowther's, my son-in-law Wm.
Penmyngton's and mine own), about 1,200 men, crossed the Levyn
to Howpsikehill, alighted from their horses and prepared to fight ;
how the Scots advanced and then retired in disorder to Sandy-
ford beside Artureth mill dani where they had a moss on
their left hand and the Heske before them, and there our
prickers overthrew them and 1,200 prisoners were taken, 20 slain and
divers drowned (ten were drawn out of Heske with fisher nets three days
after). Two earls, five barons, and 500 lairds and gentlemen were
taken, 20 carted pieces of ordnance, 6 score half-hakes and many hand-
guns, 30 standards, and all flags among the footmen, — none were " borne
on hight " over the Sarke. The English numbered not 2,000, of whom
7 were slain and one taken afore noon.
A little before "day going*," all men drew to the standards, and
Wharton proclaimed that no prisoners should depart without presenta-
tion before him. " This is briefly the truth, but to hear of the spoil
and taking of prisoners that night inl Scotland by the Anerdalles, Esh-
dalles, Ewesdalles, Wawcopdallles, and some of Liddersdalles, it is for
good Englishmen pleasant to hear; for surely there are some prisoners
mo by the Scots' good help that night sent back from their home going
into England to be kept." The King of Scots lay the night at Lowma^-
bane, and came to Burnyswarke hill, six miles off, to see the burning.
That night he was " most in a rage " with the news, and on the morrow
hastened by Braggewell towards Sterling, speaking displeasant words
against his Borderers for their spoil that night. The Scots purposed to
lie the night at Gretno, and on the morrow burn along the marches to
Betalumont.

ft- O. The German troops have returned from the Hungarian expedition,
St 2P3 1X ' having done nothing worthy of such beginnings. Whether it be the
fault of the leader or o-f the soldiers, the indignation is so general that
it will be difficult in future to arrange a Turkish expedition. The
Protestants lately held a Diet (conventuui), which deputed four doctors
hither to Spires, who refused the judgment of the Chamber, and openly
protested that, henceforth, they would not appear before this tribunal, as
not impartial. Count William, a Furstenberg has now got all his
captains at Strasburg, which many think is don© in the name of the
Protestants. The Saixon and Landgrave make jgreat preparation to
repel attack; and next summer there is likely to> be trouble unless the
Emperor comes, the Papists and Protestants are so opposed to* each other.
The Emperor's captains are collecting soldiers and, some say, 20 standards
of foot shall go to Italy in May. German soldiers who, contrary to
the edict of the Empire, have accepted. French pay, are proscribed.
The Diet (comitia) at Nurnberg, which was indicted for 15 Nov.,
makes little progress, and is said to bei put off until January. Many
think that Jittle will be donetf as the Emperor and princes are not
there in person. There is little mention of the Council at Trent. The
Roman bishop's three legates, thei cardinals of Paris, Modena, and Eng-
land, a-re already there, and lodgings are assigned to the Italian bishops.

Almighty God and (2) Wharton, and all who were with him, to whom
he shall read these letters. (3) Wha,rton is to keep good espial on the
Scots — that this victory be not blemished for lack of foresight, and also
to keep them waking by devastating their country and keeping them from
sowing. (4) Intends to b© liberal to the takers of the prisoners; but,
considering how the Scots have used Sir Robt. Bowes and those taken
with him, desires 20 or 24 of the very best of the Scots now taken con-
veyed to London before Christmas, including those named in a schedule
enclosed, unless Whartoni can pick out better. Wants only such as are
noblemen or of the King of Scots' chamber, or of such) substance as to
be worth the sending. Wharton is to convey them to lord Scrope and
such others as he thinks meet, who shall convey them to* the President
at York. Measures are to be taken to prevent secret conferences on the
journey or knowledge beforehand of their departure. Of the rest the
best are to be surely kept and the meaner men used for redemption of
Englishmen in Scotland.
The ward of R. Brisco is to- be appointed to the order of the widow or
other as Whartom> thinks fit.

Papers,

Sir Ralph Eure and he have fulfilled Hertford's command to burn
Caldstreym, and have gotten much nowt and sheep and prisoners. Kept
the purpose secret until they came to Crookajn Moor Stone, and there
declared it to the captains upon charge of secrecy. Devised to send Francis
Bulmer with 80 men to demand the house in the King's name, so that,
if that were denied, they might put all to the sack and with more slaughter
requite the death of Somersyde. But the Prioress had warning, and sent
away all who could not safely remain, with horse, harness, 2,000 sheep
and a great, drift of nowt. Their measures to prevent embezzling were
frustrated by the men who gave warning, viz., Hugh Paitt of Cornnell,
and others. Their men found that this Hugh Patt had taken the
Prioress's brother and others prisoners before they came, and were met
ait the gate by the Prioress and priests bearing the Cross ; so that they
could not for shame do any slaughter, and would not have burned but
that Hertford was so earnest to have it burnt. As it was, the nuna
sat on their knees singing " sailmens " while Sir Ralph and he fired the
house. The writer then set fire to the church and the corn (which the
captain of Berwick esteemed at a greait sum) ; and went near being him-
self burnt, for Master Dowglez, setting fire to the town, raised such a
smoke that, with the church on fire behind and the abbey and barn on
either hand, he wist not which way to take. Afterwards he and his
cousin Harry Evers, " who is a very free burner," burned many stacks
and kilns. Is sorry for Hertford's departure, for if he tarried till Mid-
summer they would waste the whole Mars from Gedworthe to Codyng-
gam, provided that Hertford would straitly punish such as break the
proclamation, warn the Scots, or go away with spoils without showing
them. Thinks Mr. Charles Brandon should be recompensed for 160
sheep, which were yesterday assigned to him, and afterwards taken away.
Alex. Shafto can show who took them, who was appointed to divide the
goods by Sir Ralph Eure and the writer and four quartermasters, " which
was my cousin George Bowes, my uncle Sir Ralph and other." Des-
cribes how one Hedwayn gave, very ill words to Shafto, which so
exasperated the writer that he drew his dagger and sword upon him, and
they had to be separaited by Master Brandon, Tom Gray, and other*.
Sir Ralph Eure and he desire leave to rest this day, as they and their
horses are weary. Will, if commanded*, bring up him who gave warning
to Caldstreym, together with the Prioress's brother, and his other pri-
soners. George Selbey took from one Roger, of the writer's retinue, a
casket, which apparently contained money. Offers to bring Selbey and the
casket also. Much stuff is conveyed to Cornnell, and the writer suspects
(reasons given) some "pakkyn" between the lord of Cornnell and the

The King has received his of 13 Nov., and to show " what hath
succeeded since, of those matters," commands them to signify that the
French ambassador obtained audience on Sunday last, and declared, on
his master's behalf, that whereas Paget lately made overtures for an
increase of amity, he was very desirous that something might be devised
for that purpose, and thought an interview next spring would promote
it ; adding that he refuses to> agree to the General Council lately in-
dicted by the bishop of Rome, and is sorry for the matter of Scotland.

or discuss the points touched in Paget's conference with the Cardinal,*
answered, expressing his love, that he could be content to hear of any
purpose which might increase their amity, and that Paget wrote of
certain conversations with the Cardinal therein, but no specialties.
As to his letter to Wriothesley touching his return, if this matter go
no further the King will shortly revoke him ; and if it do, he will not
be recalled until it is determined.
Enclose copy of letters showing wha,t a victory God has sent the King
over the Scots, with the names of certain prisoners ; but as yet is not
known how many more are taken and slain. The Scots were above
14,000, and we not 2,000, and not one soldier among them, but men of
tie country. Paget may declare this, and must write often.

1 Dec. 1157. HERTFORD and Others to the COUNCIL.
Add. MS. On Wednesday night last Hertford sent Sir Ralph Evre, Geo.
32>6B. M170' Bowes, Ralph Buhner and others, with 1,000 men, into Scotland, who
Hamilton next morning burnt the abbey and town of Caiwdstreme, with corn worth
Papers, 2,000 marks, and brought away 60 prisoners, 60 horses, etc. (described),
No. 245. whicn, is thought the best booty ever gotten in these parts ; for, as the
prioress took herself to be "pattissid," all the country had conveyed
their corn to her. They also burnt Swenton, wherein were 80 ploughs,
and Swithe More.
The same day Lisle arrived, with letters showing the King's pleasure
to establish him here in Hertford's room. Considering that victuals
here are wasted by the passage to and fro of the army royal, and the
spoil done on the other side in Scotland prevents the Scots from, main-
taining many men near the frontiers, they have concluded that 1,500
men in garrison here will suffice until March, when they of Scotland
begin to sow their corn. Hertford will, before leaving, fully instruct
Lisle of all he has done. Where Lisle received the Council's letters and
certain proclamations for excluding of Scots out of this realm, and send-
ing up a number of them as slaves to row ini galleys, they forbear to
put this in execution until Hertford can declare the inconvenience that
might arise thereby.
Espials say the late road in the West Marches was the Scottish king's
own act, by advice of the Cardinal, lord Maxwell, Oliver Shenclere, and
Mark Carre, against the advice of the rest of Scotland; also that the
Lidersdale men slew many of the Scots that escaped and took horses
and harness, and all that was worth taking from the rest. The Cardinal
and the earl of Murray, greait lieutenant, as they call him, purposed, if
the Scots had not had the overthrow, to have removed with three bishops
and others from Haddington to Lewder, and next night to Cawdstreme,
and thence to have entered the realm and come to " one of the churches
on our borders, where, with) the Bishop of Rome's authority, to have
interdicted this realm." Murray was then to lie in Jedworth, and lay
garrisons for defence of the Marshe and Tevidale. The Scots are

1159. PAGET to HENRY VIII.
The Council here lately sent for him, by the letter* enclosed ; and
the new Chancellor, after discoursing of the amity and treaties and
their expedition of justice, spoke of the arrest of three of the ships
whereof the King's Council lately wrote to Paget to answer the Admiral.
Asked for and received a copy (enclosed) of the articles which the
Chancellor " had before him? for his memory." Answered as in the
Council's despatch, calling to witness Deformes, who was present; and
reckoned up half a dozen cases in which English subjects were delayed
justice, and declared the causes of the arrest as he did to the Admiral
when here. They desired him to write to Henry, since no man made
complaint against the mariners, to have their process made, and, if no
cause of further stay was found, release them with their ships and goods ;
and their King would also write, to Henry. Answered that if the pro-
cess was delayed it was perhaps for favour, lest it might turn to their
extremity, and promised to write. This interview was very friendly,
no "nipping word" used on either side. Deformes and the Admiral's
secretary seem to be the " poursuters " of these matters, especially for
the deliverance of the ship that carried the Cardinal. Aygres by

which may do great harm if they capture the victual coming hither for
the garrisons. There is also a letter for a safe conduct, brought by a
woman, touching the murder of Somerset, with a letter from the Council
of Scotland to Sir Wm. Evre, which names Leche and Preistman, two
of the chief stirrers in the Rebellion, who have since been maintained
in Scotland, although demanded by name. Think the surrender of them
should now be demanded, as a means to learn " what compassing hath
been and is in Scotland imagined against your Majesty."
Lisle is about to lay and order the garrisons according to his instruc-
tions. At his arrival he caused Mr. Woodalle, treasurer of wars here,
to make a declaration (sent herewith) of the state of the treasure ; which
is scantily sufficient for conduct money, so that more must be sent

Have, as the King wishes, enquired where the king of Scots
was ait the late overthrow of his subjects, what the whole number of
them were, and how mamy were overthrown or taken,. Learn from
divers (and this day from Jack Musgrave, who was leader of the horse-
men) that the king of Scots was eight miles off with another great army,
intending on the morrow at low water to invade Burgh upon Sands and
burn the country to the west of Carlisle, as his army thait was overthrown
burnt the east side. Thie army that was overthrown numbered 17,000.
The King's subjects, not above 2,000, put in the "stale"! 1,500, and
the rest, being the horsemen, seeing the Scots' footmen coming on to
meet the stale, and the Scottish horsemen slow in setting forward,
thought best to set upon them before the foot battles joined, and so
the Grames pursued the horsemen of Scotland, which fled, while Jack
Musgrave and 300 gentlemen of the country entered upon the footmen
that had lighted off their horses. These seeing them fiercely coming on
and the stale following retired and fled towards the waiter. Wrote
the number of tho>se taken, and the chief name®, in their letter jointly
with my lord of Hertford. Jack Musgrave says* 5,000 horses are taken
by reason of a marsh § which they could not pass. Those who escaped
through Lyddesdale were spoiled by them of Lyddesdale.

No. 248. ke counselors here'. Each brings 100 men, whom they expect daily.
Cumberland writes that he is preparing himself and his 500 men to come
hither with all speed. Finding here a great number who were unfit
for feats of thei Borders, because their horses were spent, and who did
nothing but consume victuals, the writer, with Hertford's advice,
despatched 1,100 of them. Victuals are wonderfully wasted. Will by
next post send an estimate of all that remains in Northumberland (except
Tyndale and Ridesdale). Received on the 5th the Council's letters of
the 1st, enquiring where the king of Scots was at the late conflict, and
what number were slain and drowned. Has made answer, and has also
sent an espial into Scotland for further information!. The Scots have
had hard chance here of late; for on Monday night, 4th inst., 100 or
120 of them took a village six miles within Northumberland, but, upon
warning given by the watch, a young man called Clavering, Robt. a
Collingwode's son and Jerrard Selbye, with 40 of their servants,
followed them up, recovered the spoil and took 14 of them prisoners, of
whom three are notable thieve®. George Yonge, one of the three, is he
that took my lord of Hertford's chaplain at Belford, and would have
taken both Mr. Comptroller and my lord of Hertford if they had come
a little later. Trusts to discover some of their guides, who are thought
to be Englishmen. Sends a, letter from the captain of Berwick, showing
that the garrison have taken up certain villages, and brought in a good
booty. Last night, young George Heron with 100 horse, entered Scot-
land by Tyndale and burnt Dolfynston.
The men of the Marsha land and Tyvidale have petitioned the King
of Scots and his Council to send them garrisons, or else they will forsake
their country. Hears1 not what answer they had, but the King has
taken out of prison two of the Humes and the lord of Sainct Johnston,

King's subjects here bore a grealt charge, as going in person and finding
kerne and galloglas and carriage. Were ashamed to sue for money,
until compelled by the necessity for the reformation of Leinster. The
retinue is but 550; for they, long since, discharged 50 of the footmen,
and have so saved 980Z. st. Have sent an Act for the continent living
of the clergy. Explain what widespread inconvenience would result from
the repeal of the Act of farms, and beg the King not to insist upon it.
Thanks for his kingly bounty to the earl of Tyrone. There has long
been war between him and one Nele Connelaghe, his nephew, who, by
Irish law, should be Oneil after him, and who has served the King
against him ten or twelve years. Sent for Nele Connelaghe, who, at much
peril, came to Dublin. He thought himself aggrieved thait the earl should
have received the honor to him and his heirs; but, after long persuasion,
said he wooild not repugne the King's order, and asked to have the
lordship and lands called Claneboy, inhabited by another sept of the
Neles, who are men of very evil disposition, where he would always be
able to bridle the Earl if need were. If this be granted, the King should
reserve (besides the rent) the town and castle of Knockfergus, the castle
of Wolverflete, and the castle of Cblrane, upon the Banne, which has
been warded this half-year by John Travers.
Perceive, in the King's " said last letters, sent by the said Earl," that
the cell of Newry is to be converted to ai college at the suit of Sir Arthur
Fitz Guennys. By the King's former letter, it was commanded to be
suppressed and granted to> George Karry, ai petty captaini of the retinue,
who has served well here for four or five years. As Sir Arthur is a
stranger, and the King's declaration to him not to be infringed, they
will establish it a college and remit Karry to the King's order for some
other reward. The havens and port townis of Ulster would soon yield
profit if the King put in constables, but the first necessity is the refonnar
tion of Leinster. Havei sent two bills to be passed as Acts, one for grant-
ing the subsidy for two more years, the ether for assuring Dungarvan
castle to the Crown. Explain claims of both Ormond and Desmond to
it, and suggest that Ormond should be constable. When Alen was

Lisle heard yesterday from an espial that came out of Scotland
that the Scottish Queen is brought to bed of a son. A Scottish pri-
soner taken on the 5th says that this wais proclaimed in Jedworthe on
Saturday last, the 2nd inst. The espials of the captain of Berwick and
the earl of Anguishe have not reported it. Lisle wrote in his letter
to the King that the lords of Boclughei and St. Johnston, with John
and Alex. Hume, were taken out of prison to be made catptains of
garrisons against the East a,nd Middle Marches. This espial says
those men are: not yet come home nor the garrisons laid. Last night
Robert Lisle, the King's servant, burnt the lerde Lynton's house and
corn, and the night before John Carr, of Warke, burnt Stephen Davi-
son's house and corn and brought away his cattle. Stephen is one of
the head captains of the Tevidale thieves. Lisle's espial says the Scots
were never so out of couraige since their King* was killed, but warns
him that they intend a great foray about the light of this moon, " atrid
to have a great stale to back them." Yesterday the Scottish ships
passed Holy Island, eight sail but only throe men of war. Alnwick castle,

to Dunfres and thence to Edenburgh, and thence to Lithco, where the

9 Dec. 1185, THOMAS DACRE to the COUNCIL.
Is informed that Mr. Maxwell, son to lord Maxwell, is made
warden of the West Marches, amd the lardes of Johnston and Bukcleughe
come home to the Borders1 out of ward. The king of Scots has pro-
claimed 14 days' victuals, and ©very man to be ready at an hour's
warning, but the purpose is not yet known. Had two days' knowledge
before the Scots came in last, when they burnt the Graanes of Esk, for
which he gave 20 nobles to a' Scotsman ; and upon it Mr. Warden did
right well prepare, as it proved. Robyn Foster and his servant took
the lerde of Carlisle, the constable of Dundee and the larde of Kirke-
migheall and put them to ransom without the Warden's licence. It is
thought that Jak Musgrave was of counsel, for they are under his rule.
Men from London report that the writer and other Borderers did not
serve well at this last journey. Begs license to come up to* declare whalt
true service they did, and also credence for bearer, who has always serve 1
the King well, and in this last journey was both at the beginning and

Has received his letters of 30 Nov., requiring safe conduct for
Mr. James Leyrmonth, Sir John Cambell, and others, to come and
declare the verity of the murder of Somerset herald by Wm. Leche and
John Prestmam, English fugitives. Cannot but wish that so barbarous
ai murder was done against James's will, but no> declaration can satisfy
him or the world unless the persons are first sent hither for punishment ;
for, if James take the punishment of them, as matters stand, it might
appear to be done to cover the origin of the act, and other malefactors
might be executed in lieu of the very offenders. Has written to his
warden that if James delivers the offenders they are to be received and
sent hither. Hampton Court, 10 Dec. 34 Hem VIII.

" Instructions given by the King's Highness to his trusty and
well beloved servant, Sir Thomas Seymour, knight, one of the gentlemen
of his Grace's privy chamber, whom his1 Majesty sendeth, at this time,
into Germany for the purposes following."
To hasten to Noremberg, where baron Heidik and another Almain
baron called Flegesteyn appointed, this Christmas, to confer with him
upon matters which, ait his late being in Germany, he broke to Heidik,
touching the entertainment of horsemen and footmen, of whom the King
would have 2,000 and 3,000 respectively, always ready'. Having delivered
the King's letters and thamks for their good inclinations, he shall demand
of Heidik what he has done since their departure ; and if it appear that
they have earnestly travailed in the matter, he shall demand how matay
men can be furnished, where levied, amid when they can be brought to
Calays*, Breame, Lubeck, Hamburgh, or Holland, with the charges, wages,
&c. He shall endeavour to persuade them to serve the King against all
persons without exception, and learn whether they can procure others to
do so.
The King's letters to Baron Adeck are signed above, as is his custom
in writing to familiar servants, and those to Flegsdein signed beneath),
as in writing to friends. Seymour shall explain this to them, adding
to Flegsdei/ni that the King trusts shortly to halve him, too, as his

According to the King's instructions, have caused a view to be
taken of victuals here, and perceive by the certificates that all the grain
will not suffice the country until Easter, nor past Candlemas with the
garrison here. There is little hay left, so that the garrison horses are
fed on straw, which is rotten,, because " wet inned." Provision must,
therefore, be sent to Hally Elande, Berwick, and Ailmouthe, with com-
mand to the purveyors not to sell it to merchants to bring hither, who
would enhance the price; as two Newcastle merchants would do who
have lately bought a ship of corn sent to Hally Elande for the garrisons,
but Lisle has sent for them, intending 'to punish them for forestalling
the King's provisions. Touching the prisoners taken on St. Bartholo-
mew's Day, as they wrote, Bowes and Lassells are at St. Andrew's. Sir
Cuth. Ratclif, as a servant coming from him, yesterday, reported, is at
Glascoo in the Bishop's keeping. This servant said the Keterickes in
the North parts were angry with the taking of their lord the earl of
Glencarne, and would come and fetch him home; also that victuals
were unusually dear, so that every meal cost him 4d., " which is four
groats Scottish." The King sends for many who fled off the field, asks
how they escaped, and says he will punish them for fleeing.

An espial says that the lord of Burniestone, who is in favour with the
Cardinal, has returned from France with little comfort, "which myche
pallyth the Scottes." This espial asked if the letters lately brought to
Berwick by al woman were sent forth ; for if not, and if the Englishman
whose espial he is could get a safe conduct to receive letters, he would
undertake to bring letters from the king of Scots to the King. This
shows "that he is a counter spye, for the Englishman said that this
spy might come into the King's chamber."' Apparently, whatever
countenance the king of Scots makes, " he would speak if ears were
open to hear." Wrote, by report of a prisoner, that proclamation was
made at Gedworth of the birth of a prince*. Learni since that the Queen
" was delivered before her time of a daughter, a very weak child and not
like to live." Against next full moon, order shall be taken for defence.

1194. LISLE to HENRY VIII.
Espials report this day that the lord of Brentstone is come home
out of France, and says he has brought no such comfort as, at his send-
ing, was expected. Wrote on the 8th to the Council of the birth of a prince
on 30th Nov. last; and that a Scottish prisoner affirmed it was pro-
claimed at Jedworth on the 2nd inst. Some say it was a son and some
a daughter, but all agree that the Queen is delivered and lies at Lithcoo.
The earl of Anguishe's intelligence is that she is delivered long before
her time and the child cannot live. The King returned from the West,
after the conflict, to Tyntallen, where he ha® a mistress in the keeping
of Oliver Synklar's wife, " and, by report, he setteth not much store by
the Queen." Details1 conversation reported to him this morning be-
tween an Englishman named ,* of whom he has much
intelligence, and a Scottish man, who hinted that the king of Scots would
send letters to the King if he had means to convey them, and wished to
know whether the letters sent from the Scottish Council to the captain
of Berwick by a woman had been conveyed. Declared that he himself
would send no Scottish letters to the King after he had been so offended
with their false promises. Said this thinking that the Scot looked for
some counter intelligence, and it seemed best to leave them in suspense
of the coming of the letter sent by the woman. Showed this to my
lord of Durham (and they have touched upon it in their joint letter), but
not the espial's name. Asks whether to hearken further to his intelli-
gence, seeing that his man is apparently a counter spy. John Hume,
lord of Blackater, who was lately released, promised his King to do man
marvellous things in England shortly. On Sunday last he canie home to
his own house, and declared to those who came to welcome him that he
had authority to haing as many of them as would not rise with him afc
all hours to do harm in England.
Angus and Sir Geo. Douglas, who went to Newcastle to see their oW
acquaintance taken at the conflict, have reported conversations with
them. Sir George, who seems to have waded further with them than
his brother, says lord Maxwell and lord Flemyng agreed that the King
might now demand what he would in Scotland, whether it were to refuse
the league with France or any other thing, only reserving the Crown

and title of King to their master; and they offered to bring this to
pass if the King would license them to go into Scotland.
It is pity that Tyndale and Rydesdale have liberty to live so un-
christianly, but now is no convenient time to correct them, considering
how near they lie to the King's enemies, who are not their enemies, but
are guided by them to rob the King's true subjects. Divers gentlemen
of this country have secretly "patysed" with them, and, when a fray
or cry isi raised in the night, will not rise to the rescue. No perfect
reformation* will ever be had until the King hais all that part of Scot-
land on this side the Frithe on the East and on this side Dunne Bretayne
on the West. To take it would be "an acceptable deed before God,
considering how brutely and beastly the people now be governed," and
the effusion of Christian blood which has happened every 20 or 24
years, and ever shall until the marches are set to these limits. " O !
what godly act shooild it be to your excellent Highness to bring such a
sort of people to the knowledge of God's laws, the country so necessary
to your dominions, by reason whereof so many souls should live also in
quietness." As to1 a plaitt of all Scotland, for which the Council has
written, it will hardly be gotteni here; but the King has a Scottish
physician named Cromer, dwelling in London, who has such an instru-
ment, or can help to set it forth, and knows a Scottish doctor, learned
in the civil law, who- was banished ouit of Scotland by the Cardinal and
the bishops two or three years past, and dwells in London, and who
can do much in making such a platt. Hertford carried up a platt of
the hither part of Scotland ; and the writer will send another, with the
castle and town of Edinburgh more better set forth, by next post.
His letter written jointly with my lord of Durham describes the state
of the Borders and need of victuals. None of their neighbours (whom
they keep waking) have made any rode since Lisle came, except a sort
of Tyvedale thieves, whose captain was " one of them that rode so near
your Grace's host continually, and railed upon the Englishmen,
calling them heretics," and who also boasted thait he had with his own
hands slain a dozen white coats. Has this gentleman and fourteen of
his Fellows, who came in with 100 or 120 horses and were put to flight by
40 horses of this country. Once or twice Ridesdale men have guided in
half a dozen Scots who have stolen a dozen or twenty beasts, " or such
a trifle." If anything is attempted, it will be about the full of this
{moon. Begs the King to thank the earl of Anguishe, who is very
diligent, and gets: the best intelligence. Cumberland is not yet come.

13 Dec. 1199. SIR WM. EVERS to LISLE.
At 6 p.m. on the 12th, his espials reported that the Cardinal is
not so much in the King of Scots' favour as he was, for he was the chief
procurer of the journey into the West Marches, and, being left with
Murraye in Haddington, the slaying of the King's herald, in the mean-
time, is judged to have been by his sufferance. In Edinburgh it is said
that the Cardinal will go either to France or Rome before Candlemas,
and trusts the king of Scots " shall have patrty enough by the spring of
the year ais well forth of Denmark as other places." la Scotland it is
judged that Maxwell and other great men now taken prisoners would
rather become Englishmen. Likewise the common bruit is that Geo.
Hume of Wedderburne, and John Hume oJ Blaketter, " shall grow great
with the earl of Angus and George Dougias." AH adjoining the
Borders are in great fear, and no honest men lie there, except in strong-
holds such as Fastcastell, the Towre of Dunglase, Byllye, Dunbare, and
the vaults of Coldingham church. On Saturday and Sunday, 9th and
10th inst., was proclaimed in Haddington and Dunse that all should rise
with fray or beacons, both in Lowdeane and the Marse, and come to
Hume, Wedderburne or Blaketter, or the place of the fray. No Scots
come to Berwick except to borrow prisoners or pay ransoms. Berwick

delay by floods, came to Valenitial, 4 Dec., and lodged at the viceroy's
palace outside the city. Next day, the Prince entered and lodged at
the Emperor's palace, but the reception and demonstrations of gladness
were nothing great. Following the Emperor in this journey, was told,
near Monviedro, alias Saguntum, 4 leagues from Valentiai, that there
were letters for him in Valentia. Sent for them the same night, amd,

Hearing that the Emperor would immediately embark for Italy,
and expecting easily to reduce the Rochellois, the French king intended
to go straight to Fontainebleau for Christmas. Now he has intercepted
two letters passing between Italy and Spain, one of which was
triumphantly read at his table (showing that the Emperor intends not
yet to leave Spain, but to send Granvelle), and finds the Rochellois very

sturdy; and so hie remains hereabouts. Gives history of the dispute
with the Rochellois and other salt makers. Cardinal Saidolet has de-
parted rebus infectis to Carpentras. At leaving, he delivered a brief
from, the Bishop of Rome, which the King accepted with " strange
countenance," The King refused to make Signer Horatio captain of
the men of arms Signor John Patulo had ; and a courier going to Spain,
with letters to revoke the Legate there, could scant get passport. The
Bishop of Rome is suspected to be Imperial, but is holdeni up by a
court of Cardinals about this Court. This courier taken last carried
letters not only from Naples, Milan and Gene®, but from Rome, from the
Bishop himself to the Emperor, as Paget heard of one who arrived yester-
night from. Rome, and had come straight by Marseilles from the Count of
Anguillaral. One haiS evemi now embarked and gone to the Turk from
hence, and lately the Prior de Capis returned from Algiers; and now
<: we " say that the Turk comes next spring both by land and sea, and
has sent to Venice to accord us with the Venetians, wherein the bp. of
Rome travaileth much, and that for disclosing the counsel of the
Signory to the Emperor, Signor Francisio and Signor de Justiniami, of
the houses of Capelli and Quirini, are in) hold. Henry will know of this
from his agent in Venice; and, from the ambassador in Spain, the
Cardinal of Portugal's treatment by the Emperor, which, the Nuncio here
says, was very strange. Gives "war reports that the Spaniards have
invaded Bayonne and destroyed St. John de Luces, Dannebault has re-
covered Carmagnola, Anguillara has captured a rich Spanish ship from
the Levant, besides the two briganitineg that carried the couriers (whereby
are known all the secrets of Rome, Venice, Naples, Marquis de Guasto,
Hungary, Genoa, and the Emperor's espials at Constantinople). Other
proceedings of Damnebault in Piedmont and reinforcements sent thither
including Baron de Hadeckes band. De Langey is fallen very sick on his
way hither. De Longeval was coming hither, but was countermanded
upon news of a, mutiny of the lanceknights in Luxembourg, whose captains
that were here are also sent after him. One Richier, of the King's
chamber, went two days ago to> Denmark, to move them, to succour the
Scots, or else, more probably, to kno-w the state of Denmark and Sweden,
for an insurrection in Sweden! is rumored). On St. Andrew's Day,
Francis observed the ceremonies of the Emperor's Order just as he did
those of Henry's Order on St. George's Day. The Queen has sent a
gorgeous litter to bring the duchess of Bar to Court.
Encloses copy of the letter he wrote on the 2nd, by one of the Admiral's
servants touching the ships detained there ; also two letters from the Scot*
at Rome. Marillac returns from England these holydays, to be replaced
by Morveilly, who passed through England from Scotland last year.
Here is an Italian called count Bernardo f, esteemed very skilful in order-
ing a camp when Humieres was lieutenant in Piedmont, but now out of
favour because affectioned to the Constable. He offers to serve Henry.
Likewise the lieutenant's son of Xainctes has offered a revolt of Xadnctes

has executed the count of Pontalaigre and his son for intelligence with
the Cardinal.*
Immediately upon Desformes' arrival here, which was two days after
Paget wrote last month, the French king reported openly at table that
the army under Norfolk in Scotland was overthrown with loss of 16,000
slain. " He said he had it of a Bryttayne. A like thing indeed, because
your Majesty had no ships on the sea to keep the passages." Tha.t night
Desformes came to supper, and Paget taxed him with the report, which
he denied, and, on Paget 's showing him thait as he knew the unlikeli-
hood of such an event he ought to say the truth, he has since denied his
Sovereign's report. Now Nicholas the courier has brought the joyful
news of that matter of Scotland; which has almost cured Paget of a
bad attack of sciatica. He also brought letters from the Council con-
taining the conference between Henry and the French ambassador
touching the discourse between Cardinal Tournon and Paget. Thanks
the King profusely for taking his doings so favourably hitherto.
On Sunday night received his letterf showing the injuries committed
against him by the Scottish king, with other writings and instructions.
Sent next day to Court, five leagues hence, and obtained audience for
Tuesday, after dinner. After greeting the French king, said he was
commanded to declare the great outrages which the Scottish king, con-
trary to honour and the niatural kindness of a nephew towards his uncle,
had done against Henry ; and desired him to hear the matter indifferently.
Then detailed how, in return for Henry's fatherly affection to the Scottish
king during his minority, James had entertained Henry's traitors, sent
messages for an interview, and meanwhile invaded England,
detained Henry's subjects prisoners without ransom, and, finally,
cruelly slaughtered Henry's herald. J Describes further conversa-
tion verbatim. The French king replied with a sigh, that
he was sorry to hear of this enmity between uncle and nephew, and
yet he could abandon neither, for he was bound to aid each in defence
against invasion; that his son; agreed, not to the interview seemed
reasonable, as he was required to come as a vassal, which none of his
predecessors had done, and there were other reasons against it; these
matters seemed not sufficient to cause war, and he thought Paget had
more to say. Paget answered, showing that if these reasons were in-
sufficient, although better than thosie of Francis's present quarrel with
the Emperor, he knew not how any war could be lawful, and as to defence
upon invasion, he knew not what treaties Francis had with James, but,
by his invasion of England with over 100 men, he was avoided out of
the treaty between Henry and Francis; Henry desired him, therefore,
to remain indifferent, as he himself had beem in this matter between the
Emperor and him. Francis said thait as for the Emperor, the case was
different; for Henry was bound to aid both for defence and invasion,
and not having done so the pension was not due. Paget said that was
another matter, and had been answered. " Nay, by St. Mary hath it
not (quod he). I have had no answer to it yet." Pageb amswered that
when the Emperor invaded France, Francis was contented to discharge
that article to have a delay of payment of the arrears then due. " No,
by St. Mary, was I mot contented (quod he). Shew me that in writing.
I can show you in writing (quod he) that the King, my brother, was
then bound to do that he did not." " I am sure (quod I) both your am-
bassadors at that time will not deny that that I say." " By God's body

(quod he) Monsr. de Terbes will demy it, and Monsr. de Winchestre
cannot say the contrary if hei say truly/' Paget said he was sure
Winchester could discharge himself, but he had no commission to dispute
that matter, and desired an answer to his present commission. Francis
said he might not abandon his son; he was sorry for the controversy,
and would be loth to see his son ruined for so small matters, but as yet
had not been asked for aid. Paget said that Francis himself had
declared the murder oi a herald to be a great matter, and Francis replied
that he might not abandon his son, but would be glad to help to make
peace. Congnac, 14 Dec. 1542.

Caius College, In accordance with the King's command contained in a letter
MS2167>P froua Wriothesley, ha^ not in his other letter declared the whole con-
st. P. ix., ference with this King, nor described his manner, which was other than
246. it was wont to be. Gives the conversation verbatim. To thie
" querimonye " against the Scottish king, Francis listened with a sour
countenance!, and replied with vehemence about the unreasonable
demand of homage, alleging his chronicles of Franca. He denied that
his ambassador had written of 10,000 men slain by the Scots, but said a
gentleman* of Scotland had reported that, besides! doing homage, the
Scottish king was required to lea!ve all other amities ; he complained that
his ambassador was not suffered to speak with the Scottish ambassador.
Paget replied that it would be strange if in war time the ambassador
even desired to speak with the Scottish ambassador apart, but before
that he was always at liberty to do so. " What call you at liberty "
(said Francis), " when the Scottish ambassador had 40 or 50 waiting
upon him that no mam should speak with him? " Francis then said
he saw Henry meant to crush Scotland this year, and make war in
France next, and had sent 6,000 men of war to Calais and Guisnes under
pretence of workmen!, which had compelled him to double his garrison
at Arde. Paget replied denying this, hinting alt the bad offices of the
French ambassador in spreading such reports, which practically accused
Henry of dissimulation. Francis said he knew when the men were
shipped and their numbem Paget said he would not dispute it,
although he knew the contrary, but he never expected thait Francis
would so mistrust his good brother, of whose sincerity he had such
experience, and defend his unkind nephew against him.
Francis then became mucb calmer (for his language hitherto was
audible to all in the chamber), and in softer speech protested his love for
Henry, and how he had sought his amity in the matter of marriage.
Paget said the unreasonable demand for a million stopped that. Francis
said there was caiuse, for besides Madame Mary losing her place in succes-
sion it was to end all controversies and a great part of it was only due
upon condition. Paget suggested that if he would come to reason the
marriage might still be made. Francis then desired him to write to
Henry that he desired his amity, and would " coma down to reason so
as he will mount to the same ; " adding that they were both great kings
and well stricken in years, and, for the sake of peace, let them settle a
reasonable sum for the marriage, a-nd let the pension continue, and let
them and the king of Scots meet this spring, and join) all three together,
and what exceptions Henry would make for the Emperor Francis would
make for the Pope. Paget said his advice wals not to intricate the amity,
but meet alone without the king of Scots. Fratocis said that at least

he should be joined with them " in a trinity, as the Pope, the Emperor
and the king of Portugal be, whose sister, the Queen my wife's daughter,
the Emperor now laboureth to have in marriage for his son, with whom
he shall have 400,000 ducats in ready money; which I might have if I
would renounce th'increase that is come of it." Paget asked what sum
he would descend to, and Francis answered that if his good brother
would mount to reason he should see that Francis did not " set by
moruey."
Leaves Henry to form his own judgment upon the above, which Paget
had some ado to write, because this King has some impediment in his
speech, as Henry knows. Apparently he desires to join with England
but not leave out the Scottish king, and by the marriage thinks to have
aid, directly or indirectly, against the Emperor. Begs pardon if he
spoke otherwise than he should, for he could not but speak out in
defence of Henry's cause; and although Francis be a great king in
respect of thei world, he seemed not so in respect of Henry, and, "in
temperance and reason," under some other meaner prince® with whom
Paget has heretofore treated. Congnac, 14 Dec. 1542.

About two months pa&t, a Frenchman brought hither a ship

Is informed by his espial this morning that a pursuivant

who are prisoners in England are commanded to keep their houses, and

Hears that like letters are gone into Tyvedail, and that the lard of
Sesforthe and great, pa^rt of the Caires are •commanded |to '" lygg in

Master Maxwell and the lord of Johnston to be head of that country,
and "lygg" in Dunfreyss and Lowghmaben. The Scots' queen is
lighter of a daughter. The King fears for his realm and would seek
peace, but knows his promises are not to be trusted, and is so abashed
that he knows not what to do. He makes more moan for Oliver
Singular than for all the great men taken. The said Oliver was chief
captain of the army and lost the King's banner there. Those the King
makes rulers of his borders he has kept in prison seven, or eight years,
and has "porposid" divers times to have smitten off their heads, has
taken their goods and slain their friends. That he should make them

Trent, for the, Council. Commends his desire for peace, but the Pope
knows how often Francis has broken faith, and what sacrifices he
himself has made to attain peace. Needs only add one argument, viz.,
that he sees no reason for trusting the man who never fulfils a promise,
aoid therefore thinks the proposed- interview would be useless. If the
Pope thought the Emperor could easily cross to Italy from Barcelona,
where he lately was, must inform him that he has been obliged to
remove, and has received the Pope's letters here when he is called to
go to Castile and see to the affairs of that kingdom; so he does not
see how the interview can be accomplished. Is still, however, as much
as ever inclined to peace, and to repel the invasions of the Turk; and
the Pope knows how much he desires a Council. Desires credence for

17 Dec. 1212. CHAPUYS to the QUEEN OF HUNGARY.
Since his preceding letter of the 8th inst., has twice sent covertly
to solicit the King's commissioners1 and deputies for some answer and
resolution upon what was in communication. Thie first time, the day
after the date of his preceding letters, they sent him word that as the
King was moving about hunting, they had been unable to- make a com-
plete report, but would in three or four days intimate the King's inten-
tion. Yesterday Wriothesley told his man that there was no place to
talk long because the French ambassador's secretary was present, who,
as Wriothesley said, was soliciting an affair so instantly that he left th^
Council no rest. Doubts that the English are seeking only to temporise,
waiting to see the success of the Emperor's affairs there; for at the
very opening of the game they will be unwilling to have to contribute
for defence against Cleves and Holstein, especially when they need
money for the enterprise of Scotland, which the King shows that he has
at heart. Thinks also that there will be no way of inducing him to
enter war and make invasion next summer against the French ; for the
deputies, at last communication, in place of insisting as formerly that
the common invasion should be before 1 July, proposed that the time
should not be fixed but left to the arbitrament of the Princes. The
Scots, not content with the first beating, lately entered this realm to
the number of 69 horse, to rob and spoil, but, in their return, were
waylaid by 40 Englishmen, who recovered the booty and slew and took
half of them. Being unable to avenge themselves otherwise, the Scots
have, neaa* Dombart castle, killed a herald of this King, called Sombreset,
in his return from the king of Scots; which is not the thing to ex-
tinguish the fire now lighted. These successes have rejoiced the King,
who, since he learnt the conduct of his last wife, has continually shown
himself sad, and nothing has been said of banquet or of ladies ; but now

all is changed, and order is already taken that the Princess shall go to
Court at this feaist, accompanied with a great number of ladies; and
they work day and night at Hampton Court to finish her lodging. It
is possible that amid these festivities the King might think of marry-
ing, although there is yet no bruit of it.

Have this day despatched, to him a servant of George Douglas
with strange news or the death of the king of Scots, whom Douglas
desired sent to the King and his brother, that his brother might be
first bringer of the news. Sir George desired adivice what to do if his
friends in Scotland wrote to him to1 come home and occupy holds or
houses which his brother had there. Said they had no commission to
advise therein, and he has written to his brother to- move the King in
the matter. Sir George says that, after the daughter lately born, the
next heir to the Crown is the earl of Arren. He is a bastard, born
while his father's first wife, who had dwelt in house with him 20 years,
was still living, and born of the second wife, who was his leman. He
is cousin german to the Cardinal, who will take his part. The earl of
Morton, called Duglasse, is next inheritor, and about him they (Sir
George and his brother) should bear some rule; and after him <he
earl of Bow^han, called Steward. This last is of the heir male, and the
other two of the heir general. Sin George said "Arran was but a
simple man, and th'other were but fools, so that the strongest of the field
were like to obtain the Crown."
Yesterday sent the King's letter to the king of Scots by John Heron's
chaplain, with charge to deliver it only to the King, and not to the
Council, so that, if these news be true, they trust to receive it safe
again. Alnwick castle, 17 Dec., 4 p.m. Signed.

Came to Berwick at 8 o'clock, and there found the man he
showed Lisle of, called Simon of Penangharwe, whose news is that the
king of Scots sickened and took his bed on the 6th insti, and died
on Thursday, the 15th, at midnight. " All this time he did rage
and cry out, and spaike but few wise words, a<nd so departed much
according to the life thait he lived in this world." The lords purpose
to keep his body secret, for they hope for money from France, and fear
the French king would not send it if he knew the King was dead. Thinks
the King might let the French king know of his death, although he
(Sir George) thinks the French king not disposed to give much money
but only fair words, as in times past. Reminds him of his advice to
provide a ship or two forth of Newcastle.
The great men of Scotland aire convened in Edinburgh, and purposed
to choose four governors, vizi, Arren, Murray, Huntley, and Argyll;
" the Cardinal to be governor of the Princess and chief ruler of the
Council." The Cardinal and| Arren are cousins, Argyll has married
Arren's sister, Murray has married Argyll's sister; so that these four
are bound together, and would have Huntley bound with them. Lisle
shall be advertised of the ships, as he desired. The king of Scots left
no will. His money is esteemed at 100,000 cr., " and he is well plated."
Men think the governors will use this money for the war1. Thinks Lisle

Enclose a letter which Lisle has this day received from Sir
George Douglas, confirming: the news sent yesterday, by Sir George's
servant and by their letters, of the death of the king of Scots, and con-
taining many points meet to be well considered. The man that brought
the news to him yesternight at Berwick was sometime his servant, called
Simon Penatnghawe, and was in favour with the king of Scots. The
day before his coming to Berwick he sent a trusty friend to certify
these news to Sir George, who, thereupon came hither to Alnwick and
returned to Berwick the same night. Wrote yesterday that the treasurer
of wars, Mr. Uvedale, was unfurnished with money to pay the garri-
sons, being 2,000 men, and costing 2,034?. 13s. 4d., besides the diets of
the Warden and the earl of Cumberland. After paying conduct money

Thanks him for his books. Literary and theological comments.
Was persecuted in London, after the beheading of Queen Anne [Boleyn],
till he went abroad, for not giving money for wasx candles in the church
before the crucifix and the sepulchre. His neighbours at first discussed
the matter with him in a friendly way (arguments reported), but when
a change was expected they menaced him and laid an information
against him before the bp.* But the bp. urged forbearance, expecting
a happy day which he did not live to see ; for, harassed by Cromwell and
others on suspicion of not having added the King in abolishing the
Pope and destroying the monasteries, he died worn out with grief. The

year but one before Hilles left Englalnd, public orders were sent to the
bps. not to allow wax candles before images, except before the crucifix
and at Easter before the sepulchre.* The churchwardens then sent for
him, and asked if he still continued obstinate. Said the orders did not
concern him, for he was neither a bp. nor a churchwarden, and that they
did not enjoin the maintenance of lights, but their removal ; moreover,
that they gave him hopes that ere long the burning of candles, even
before the crucifix and the sepulchre, would be abolished. They re-
proached him for refusing to do what his own and his wife's parents
did ; which is true, for his mother paid the sum for him for one or two
years for fear of consequences. After this heard no more of it, except
that the day after he left London for Antwerp, the bp. of Winchester,
whose diocese extends to the middle of London bridge, endeavoured to
fish out something about him from neighbours apprehended before his
departure. One of them denied having received Hilles in his house, and
his most bitter enemies, who are men of wealth, did not like to betray him.
The bp., too, not perhaps knowing of his departure, made open inquiry
respecting him, and said that he should take himself off.
Remarks upon Lactantius and Cyprian. Intended to read Origen,
but has changed his mind, as Bullinger does not mention him in his
letter, &c. Begs him to send the bible of Leio Judas, if it is completed ;
he must fix the price and receive payment from Henry Falckner. Salute
Falckner, and Peter Hurtzel in my name, and tell them English cloth
is not likely to come to Antwerp at next fair, owing to the war between
the Emperor and the Duke of Gueldres. They can pay their debts to
me either to myself or my wife at Strasburg, or through some citizen of
Zurich ; for I am now in great want of it, especially during Lent ; for I
have sent all my money to England to buy cloth, which is now at Ant-
werp, and cannot be forwarded to Upper Germany for the war. My
wife salutes you and your wife. Messages to Megander, Theodore
Bibliander, Pellican, and Master Erasmus and his wife. Did not intend
to have written any more for the reason Bullinger knows, but begs him
to promote the cause of John Burcher, about which Butler has lately
written to him from Baisle.f
No news from England since the Frankfort fair, when friends wrote
that a war had begun in the North of England and South of Scotland.
On account of an inroad by the Scots, our King threatened to declare
war. The Scot, not much pleased, sent ambassadors, and our King
promised peace, they say on these conditions : That the King of Scot-
land should at every Parliament do homage to our King and his succes-
sors ; that he should promise to depose the Roman pontiff or his monks,
make satisfaction and pay expenses of preparations made in August
and September, while these things were in treaty. The Scotchman re-
fuses almost all these conditions, except payment of ai sum for renewal
of the peace and expenses. The King then, trusting, I fear, more in
chariots and horses than in the name of God, sent over 120,000 men into
Scotland, who, I have just heard by a letter of the 30 Nov. from Eng-
land, have again returned from Scotland, for reasons strictly kept secret.
Traders in France say our people have lo<st 14,000 men in Scotland.

19 Dec. 1220. COMPLAINTS BY FRENCHMEN.
" Certain complaints exhibited to the French king concerning
their evil handling in England, declared first by mouth, by his am-
bassador, to the King's Majesty and his Council, and here shortly
brought into writing'."
1. Leaving apart all complaints before the war lately begun between
the French king and the Emperor, Frenchmen complain that they dare
no longer haunt the ports of England, because their ships are detained
for causes of which they are not culpaible, especially in ports far from
London, where they cannot easily have recourse to the Council.
2. If an Englishman charges in their ships merchandise which is pro-
hibited or uncustomed, the ship is confiscated,.; whereas they that lade
such goods ought to suffer, and only the goods should be confiscated,
being ordinary merchandise and not munitions of war. Damien Sibille
of Dieppe had his ship arrested at Hampton, because there was found
in it ai little tallow, a pack or two of kerseys, and a horse belonging to
Edw. Wilmet, of Hampton. The billett found in the said ship was
there by licence of the customers of Hampton ; who licensed the mariners
to take 300 or 400 apiece for their own houses, and also four or five hides
to make fishing boots. In the beginning of August, two poor mariners
of Cherbourg complained to the Ambassador that their ship was arrested
at Hampton because they intended to lade two dickers of leather, and
had in their ship " certain mares under the compass of the statute,
which they had paid custom for." The Ambassador obtained a letter
from the Council for deliverance of the ship1, but the poor men could
get no answer; and one fell si-ck at Hampton, the other returned,
begging by the way, to the Ambassador, who sent him home. The
doer hereof, Mr. Hutoft, took from, them, besides, 3 or 4 crowns.
3. A ship of Normandy, with fish from the New Founde Ilandes,
was brought by force into Bristol haven and there compelled to sell the
fish att a price appointed by the town; and, although he complied), he
was stayed 9 or 10 weeks before he could recover his anchor and sails.
Another ship of St. Jhean de Luc was likewise stayed, and the Ambas-
sador obtained its deliverance, but in the meantime it was detained a
whole month. 4., Other restraints are still maintained,, among them
a ship of New Haven, armed and licensed for war, coming to the Isle
of Wight, was stayed by the captain of a bulwark there, and the men
imprisoned, for the robbery of certain Englishmen,, which was com-
mitted before their coming out of France, as appears by their licence
and instructions. Two of the men are still prisoners in the Isle, after
34 HENRY VIII. 673

five months' suit for redress. The Ambassador requires that they may
be delivered, and says that, by the treaties, ships of war may come and
go freely in English waters, provided that their men exceed not 100
in number. 5. Another ship of 100 tons, coming from Scotland,
whither, by the King's command, it had carried the Cardinal, was taken,
and the captain " and iiij more, a great number wondering upon them,
were in miserable estate brought into prison, and some of his company
so beastly and cruelly beaten and tormented as Moors or Turks would
never have done the like;" as the officers of the place can certify, for
in one of their houses was done "this goodly piece of work!." They
remained prisoners three months, and the captain and certain others
are still in free prison, although no one has ever appeared to complain
of any wrong at their hands, and it is five months since they were
taken. The Ambassador requires that they be released, and their ship
restored ; or, if there be any probable doubt, that they may be at liberty
upon sureties. 6. Concerning the 15 that remain at Dover, desire the
Council to put the King's pleasure in execution. 7. Will not mention
the cappers, whom men will compel to sell their caips at 6d., the King
taking 2Qd. for the custom, because he trusts to the lord Chancellor,
who has the handling of that matter1.
The Ambassador prays the Council to take some amiable order in
these matters, which he is commanded to pursue as courteously and
amiably as may be. London, 18 Dec. 1542. Signature copied.

Add. MS After de&patohing their laist letters! of the 18th, received the
B. M. King's, dated at Hampton Court, the 12th inst. When Sir Geo.
Hamilton Douglas came from Berwick with news of (the Scottish king's death,
NoP26l Lisle was devising with Sir Ralph Evre and Brian Layton for a notable
enterprise in Scotland, and had sent for Sir George. He declared the
news, which Lisle wrote on the 16th, and said one Penanghaiwe had
appointed to meet him at Berwick the same night, so Lisle sent him
back in haste to Berwick. He afterwards sent Lisle a letter declaring
the King's death more plainly. Thought at first the news was false,
and intended to follow up his purpose to send a foray of 600 men as
exploiters to seize the passage to a town in the Marse called Duns, of
which foray Sir George had promised to be one if Lisle would back him
with 2,000 mem. This enterprise was to: be on Thursday next. Letters
were to be sent to all the pensioners of Northumberland, and to George
Heron, keeper of Rydesidale and Tyndale, to) meet Lisle with l,,2iOO
horsei, at the Stone on Crokemore, between the East and Middle Marches.
where Robt. Collyngwood and John Horsley (noted to be men of best
conduct) with the lord Ogle, were to receive Lisle's letters directing
them to enter upon the Drye Marche and burn East Tyvedale, and go
hinder Tyvedale from succouring the Marse. Of the other enterprise
for Dunse, which was to be by 2,500 men of the garrisons and part of
Baniborowe and Norham shires, the gentlemen of the country knew
nothing, although! many of them are right willing and diligent.
Now, as it does not seem to the King's honor to> make war upon a
dead body, or a widow, or a suckling his daughter, especially at the
time of his funeral, Lisle awaits further orders. This night, an espial
brought word that, immediately upon news of the King's death, Dane
Carr, lerde of Fernherste, went to Jedburgh, and brought away two

abbot there took tha remaining three small pieces home to his house.
" It appeareth by this that they mind not so muchi the defence of the
country as they do to defend one against another." This espial affirms
that the Cardinal, Huntley, Murray, and Arran have undertaken, the
governance; that the King died of poison, and is secretly buried; and
that the Princess is alive) "and good liking," ait Lithcoo. Wishes she

Sent again yesterday to Secretary Wriothesley (as the deputy who
has moist credit) to know when they would reassemble and learn the
resolution of the affairs treated. He answered coldly that he had spoken
of it, and thought that the said affairs slept; and, to avoid talking
further, sent Chaipuys's man to the bp. of Westminster; who was
astonished that the Secretary, who has the authority and the handling
of affairs and the confidence (privaulte) of the King, should refer it to
him. He told Chapuys's man, with emotion, how bitterly grieved he
was that things were not concluded to the contentment of the two

Princes, but that, to speak in confidence, the French were troubling our
affairs with diabolical practices, and were evidently more subtle and
cunning than the two Princes or their ministers ; but he did not despair
of a good resolution, and would himself do every good office; but now
the Council were ,so busy with the Scottish affairs that they had hardly
leisure to eat or drink. If any other of the deputies or of the Council
had sent to tell Chapuys of French practices he would have suspected
it done to make profit (although it is indicated by what the Secretairy
formerly hinted to his man and by the French ambassador's being in
Court since his preceding letters), but coming from the bp., who is a
man " rond, veritable et sans dissimulation," he takes it as true. The
King will doubtless listen to the French, especially if they propose to do
with cloisters and abbeys there as has been done here; which it once
seemed that he desired, and Chapuys hinted to him, and declared to
certain of his Council that he ought not to do, as, thereby, the King of
France would become so rich as to make no account of him, but rather
seek to make war on him, and also to assist the Scots with money. The
King recently decided to send a gentleman of his chamber to the
Emperor (Chapuys could not learn why), but yesterday Secretairy
Wriothesley sent to say that this is cancelled (led. voyage est rompu\
Yesterday, about midday, were brought to the Tower 23 Scots, principal

and gentlemen of their own rank. The Princess came to Court to-day,

Learn by sundry espials that the lord of Sesford and Mark Carr,
with his son Davie, have entered into the house of Kelsoo and taken all
the King's goods and sheep there to their own use, expelling Wm.
Hameldon, who kept them. Mark has ridden to the Council to colour
the matter. Dane Carr of Fernhurst has taken the ordnance that was
at Jedworth to his own house, being at enmity with the said Mark.
The lord of Bowcleugh has entered the abbey of Melros, alias. Muros,
and taken the King's sheep there, saying he will take them ifi patrt
reccmpence of those the King took of his, and will also have the ground
where they eo to< keep them on. The King, before his death, willed
that all prisoners should bet set at liberty, and the Duglasses called home
if they would come ; and that the governance during his child's nonalge
should be in the hands of Arren, Murray, Argyle, and Huntley, with the
Cardinal to counsel them. Think this discord is likely to increase

Answers his letter of the 8th inst., viz. : —
Calendar, Comparing the article of defence which the King of England's Council
VI. ii., No. last exhibited with that in Chapuys's letters of the 2ndi ult., she finds
no sufficient change to prevent its acceptance. Gives reasons for think-
ing that the King might be gratified so far as to pass it. Suspects
that the English opposition, to naming the dukes of Cleves and Holstein
is with a view to exclude them as rebels of the Empire and not to
comprise them in the general clause of enemies ; and, as the Emperor's
insistence upon having them expressed seems due to the English
deputies' unwillingness to exclude rebels of the Empire from hantize,
Chapuys must foresee that, by the treaty, they will be effectually reputed
enemies. Wrote to him to temporise until the Emperor's answer cam©
to his letters of the 2nd ult. ; but, considering thait opportunities would
be lost by delay, and that the time approaches for resolving how to
conduct the war next year, she is constrained to require him to advance
the treaty, and learn the King's intention before the king of France
makes a new invasion upon the countries of her government (which he
threatens to invade from all sides) inasmuch as the King of England's
declaration could well alter the French designs/.
As to the Council's complaint that the bailly of Flissinge has arrested
an English ship, he maintains that the ship wa® laden for France, con-
trary to the ordinances here, and the goods belonged to Frenchmen, the
English only lending their name. An enquiry shall be made. Is pleased
that he wrote of the good fortune* which the English have had against
the Scots, and desires to know further particulars.

R. O. Having this morning sent to the bp. of Winchester to solicit
Calendar *^e ailswer an(i resolution of the affairs in treaty, he sent word that the
VI. ii.. No. delay was not to be imputed to anything but the weighty occupations
87-] in Court since the rout of the Scots, and that he would do his best
to get ai brief resolution; although he thought that it would not be
so soon as he could desire, because news had come that the king of
Scotland, soon after learning the defeat of his men, from grief, regret,
and rage, fell ill and died within a few days, and his daughter and the
Queen, his wife, were also very ill and despaired of by the physicians,
and Earl Douglas, who was long banished from Scotland and maintained
by this King, had already entered Scotland and retaken possession of
his goods; and, upon these important occurrences, the King and all of
them were as busy as possible. He also certified that these news were
true and might be written to the Emperor and her. He gave no hint
of the French practices, nor declared that the French ambassador was
going to-day to Court.
The other day the King received the Princess most benignly and
politely, and talked with her most graciously. The Scottish prisoners
have been distributed among the lords and gentlemen, as Chapuy% said
in his preceding letters. London, 23 Deo. 1542.

24 Dec. 1233. LISLE to HENRY VIII.
This day sundry intelligences out of Scotland agree that the
earl of Anguishe and his brother are looked for daily, and will not be
denied their lands; for the commonalty favour them, and the lords
who have taken the rule (whereof the Cardinal is chief) have bruited
that the King, on his death bed, commanded that they should be sent
for and restored. Hears that the said lords will do their best to win them
home. The captain of Dunbarr has refused to deliver the castle to the
sadd lords. Has found " some folks " colder in practising with the said
captain than he expected; for it was the first thing he delivered Sir
George Duglais to practise in and nothing is done as yet. On Tuesday
last proclamation was made in Edinburgh that all men should obey the
Cardinal, Arrayne, Arguile, Huntley, and Murrey, as the only governors
under the Princess Elizabeth (sic). The Cardinal was present at the pub-
lishing of the proclamation. The commonalty dread an English invasion,
some of the best gentlemen of their Borders have " wished that your
Grace had their Princess for my lord Prince." Scottish ships have taken
three Englishmen laden with corn before Skarborro, the King's ships
lying in the Humbber, as Lisle has advertised the Council. Alnwick

26 Dec. 1236, COMPLAINTS BY FRENCHMEN.
Answer to the information* presented to the Council by the am-
bassador of France.
1. To the first., in which the Ambassador sets apart all complaints
before the late wars begun between the French king and the Emperor,
and declares that French subjects dare not haunt the ports of England
by reason of notable wrongs lately done to them; the Council answers
that the King will have all his good brother's subjects handled with
favour and justice for all things that have chanced, both before the
wars and since, as he expects the like there ; albeit many of his subjects
complain that they cannot have their causes determined, and he trusts
that his good brother will take order in this, which will encourage traffic
between their subjects. 2. To the second, touching the arrest of two
small ships for lading tallow, kerseys, billet, leather and horses, con-
trary to the law, which the Ambassador's bill says were partly laden
by Englishmen and partly licensed by the customers of Hampton ; the
arrests and the laws upon which they were grounded are justified by the
treaty of peace, and the case cannot be ordered otherwise than by law
unless by the King's special command. 3. The ship of fish at Bristol
was, long ago, at the Ambassador's request, delivered. They offered
to sell both fish and ship, being afraid of the Emperor's ships on that
coast, and the mayor and officers would have set a reasonable price
upon it, as the custom is. The Ambassador had present deliverance
of the other ship of St. John de Lucz. 4. The ship taken in the Wight
was convicted of the robbery of an English merchant of 400Z., but the
attestations shall be revised, and if not proved to the Ambassador's satis-
faction, order shall be taken to his contentation. 5. As to the ship
that conveyed the Cardinal of Scotland, the Council has often answered
that it has been clearly proved that they did, in their return, rob divers
poor English fishers, and afterwards forged the most false tales of the
King's vice-admiral that were ever heard, " comme alcuns de eulx avoir
este pendues et traynes per les coullions ; " yet order is taken for further
proofs of the said piracy. 6. The ship stayed at Dover for taking an

1241. CHAPUYS to the QUEEN OF HUNGARY.
On the 23rd, as Chapuys then wrote, the French ambassador
departed hence to go to the King, lodged that night a mile from Hamp-
ton Court, and next morning communicated with the Council; and,
without speaking to the King, returned hither late that night. In
public, at least, he was but meagrely received by the Council, and per-
haps, as these people are well grounded in dissimulation, this was
34 HENBY VIII. 681
1542.
meant to give Chapuys no- cause for suspicion. Among other charge®
the Ambassador was to show the King a letter from his master, dated
Cugniat, 13th inst., informing him (because the Imperialists were dis-
guising the affairs of the past war at their pleasure) of the truth, to
be shown to the King and those about lnim} viz., that on the side of
Parpignon his army dominated the whole country, and took most of
the towns and castles of Rossillon, and those of Parpignon made no sortie
but to their own shame and loss, and that he had fortified certain castles
of Rossillon to the displeasure of his enemies ; that on the side of Pied-
mont his men kept all they held before aaid also won innumerable places ;
that on the side of Picardy his army triumphed; in Luxemburg his
enemies held only Tionville while he had the three strongest [places],
Ivoix, Satteney, and another; and on the side of Gueldres the duke of
deves had 30,000 foot and 4,000 horse ; he himself was better furnished
than last year, especially with money, having a million atnd a half of
francs more than when he commenced the war. The Ambassador showed
Chapuys' s informant the part of the letter containing the above; and
with such ai preface it is to be imaigined that there is some hidden
design (yl y a du mistere et dez trammez), especially as the ambassador
returneH yesterday to Court, to which Chapuys has sent a third person
to spy. From the a.bove it is to be conjectured that there is dealing
(du desmenee) between the English and the French and, very likely,
although the English might not wish to conclude anything, they will
keep practices alive in order that the king of France may not hinder
the attainment (assecution) of the crown of Scotland, to which this King
aspires, hoping to obtain it by the aid of these Scottish prisoners,
whom he sent for on the day after Christmas, and made them the best
reception in the world. The same day the ambassador of Cleves was
called to Court, who has been there twice or thrice within the last
month, and before had) been more than a year without entering it.
There must be something in this; and he begs her to reflect upon it,
presupposing that there is little alppearance of effecting the treaty
according to the Emperor's intention, for the English will first want to
know what France will say and, with the success of affairs of Scotland,
doubtless, new points will be put forward and altogether different con-
ditions.
Forgot to say that, besides that the king of Scotland has left neither
son nor daughter to succeed to the crown, he has left no other of his
blood save a cousin germain,* who is unable for the succession, being
half-witted (a demy folz et incense). It is therefore to be suspected that
divisions and dissensions among the lords of Scotland will facilitate this
King's pretension. London, 28 Dec. 1542.

The King, besides the occasion of war moved on their behalf, has
just cause to be moved with them, for retaining Sir Robert Bowes and
other prisoners, and that, Somerset herald being murdered, they have
not delivered the transgressors to the Warden of his Marches to be
punished, which the writers think " the world doth not a little note."
The King has licensed the earls of C'asselles and G-lencarn and his other
prisoners to return home upon pledges — an example to them how to use
themselves — and this clemency the writers think meet to point out to
them, that they may, by speedy and indelayed redress of their con-
tumelious demeanor, avoid the extreme prosecution of his force; for
they shall be used as thieir demerits require, as the bearers will declare.

29 Dec. 1246. SIR THOMAS SEYMOUR to HENRY VIII.
B. O. Arrived at Norenberg on Christmas Day at 2 p.m. Baron Hedyk
and Baron Fleckesten had arrived two hours earlier, and immediately
came to Seymour's lodging and received the King's letters. Asked in
what readinesss they had the horsemen and footmen he bespoke at
Veyen, and they said there were 3,000 horsemen and 6,000 lanceknights.
Asked whether they would serve against all men without exception,
they said that they themselves would not serve against the Empire nor
the Emperor, but they could appoint captains who would except no man
34 HENEY Till. 683
1542.
save the Empire. Asked which way they would come to Gales to serve
against the French king, they said by Colen, Lowsenborke, and Flanders,
and not in less than a month ; to serve against the Emperor in Flanders,
they would assemble at Covolance in the bp. of Treres country and pass
by force through Lewsenborke, and so by France and Picardy to Gales.
They could safely pass to Breme, Lewbeke or Hamiborow, but not in
less than a month, as the distance was not much different. Told them
the King would accept their diligence much more thankfully if they
would serve against all men without exception. They answered that
their lands lay within the King of the Romans' country and. the Empire,
and to serve against the Emperor or the Empire should be their un-
doing, for their wages in the wars would not buy so much in 100 years.
Said the King was at peace with! all princes save the Scots, who were
suing for peace ; but, wishing to be prepared for war, he desired Baron
Hedyk, as his servant, and Flekesten, as one whom he trusted, to advise
how he might have 2,000 horsemen and 3,000 footmen ready at all
times, what pensions should be given and what monthly wages the men
should have, and their rooms. Within two days they brought a book
of the same (enclosed) ; which appears unreasonable, but they swear
that at a less rate they do not think the King can be served, and that
the French king gives in yearly pensions for so many men almost a
third part more. The men should be levied throughout Ahnain. The
pensioners, in their oath, would except the Empire, and themselves the
Emperor as well. For the footmen they desire to know the King's
pleasure; their rule is to have 300 pikes, 160 demi-hakes, and 40
halberts under each standard). At their next coming hither, on the
26th of next month, they will name the captains; and now they must
needs depart home to speak with those captains whom they appointed
to serve if required, and they desire some money to distribute among
the men they stayed, since Seymour's departure from Veyen, when
paying the wages for service in Hungary. Promised to be suitor for
this, on condition that they were still staid until 1 Feb. Instead of
having the men always in surety, Hedyke and Fleckesten suggest that,
paying yearly pensions to four or five persons, and giving notice by
Christmas at the latest, the King may always have the men against
the next summer. Fleckesten would remind the King that if he is
appointed lieutenant of the horsemen it will be chargeable to him, He
recommends his brother Hance van Fleckesten for chief of the footmen.
The Diet here, which was appointed for the 14th inst., is not yet
begun; and no man makes haste to it, "knowing that it shall be for
more money and how ill the last was bestowed." Divers princes have
taken their lodgings, and the Emperor and king of the Romans have
their ambassadors here. It is said that the French king has sent to the
young king of Powle offering, if he will forsake King Ferdinando's
daughter and marry his, to give him thrice as much money as King
Ferdinando, discharge his bond to the latter, and cause the Turk to
deliver all Hungary to him. Here is other news of Wenyce, which
Goldenfenger, my host, will send. Norenberg, 29 Dec.

29 Dec. 1247, JOACHIM GUNDELFINGER to HENRY VIII.
B. O. Has not written since the 22nd Sept., as he purposed to have
been with the King, who, by " ill Signore Cavalero Brisle " (Wriothes-
ley), through his factor Gerhardo Hartmano, commissioned him to come
in person and bring sufficient silver to prove its weight and goodness.
The impediment has partly been the war between the Emperor and the
duke of Juliers, which impedes intercourse with Antwerp; for he had
already sent silver to' the value of 1,OOOZ. st. to Cologne when the
losses suffered by merchants, on that road, warned him to seek a safe
conduct for it, by meians of whicfr he hopes to bring it safely hidden in

other merchandise. Gerhardo having written that the King requires no
small sum of the said silver, he ha® conferred with the principal holders
of it and arranged for its consignment. Will report the price, &c.,
when he comes. Has made at good bargain, with term to the 4th Sunday
in Lent (la Domenica Letare), in which to conclude it.
On Christmas Day, Sir Thos. Seimeyur arrived, and is lodged with
the writer. He hopes to return to England shortly, in which case the
writer will gladly accompany him.
To the Diet to be celebrated here, arei come, on the part of the
Emperor, Baron Frederic of Furstenberg and Dr. Jo. de Navis, the
Emperor's secretary, and ambassadors of many other potentates. The
King of the Romans is expected shortly; who is, with many lords of
Hungary, in Vienna, where, on the; 15th 'inst.,. wasi {to be! the trial of
Ziamato Primopetri, a Hungarian, captain general of that nation in the
first enterprise against the Turk, who has been arrested for treason, and
ia perhaps already justiciato. The French king tries to hinder the
marriage concluded between the King of Poland's son and the King of
the Romans' daughter, offering his own daughter, with three times
the dote promised by the King of the Romans1, and security from
the Turk. Thinks the ancient attachment of the kings of Poland
to the common weal of the Christians will make them reject such
offers^ The, signory of Venice stent letters Mther om /the 27th
inst. to the orators of the Elector Frederic of Saxony, request-
ing him to send them the ecclesiastical ordinances ordained by the
university of Wittenberg, as he (the Elector) uses them in his dominions ;
a sign that the Signory desires to accept the Evangelical doctrine,
perhaps at length recognising the deceit of the Roman pontiff. Norm-

Delivered Henry's letters to the King of Scots to a Scottish
priest, chaplain to John Heron, with charge to deliver them only to the
King's own hands. Hearing that the King was dead, and having no
instructions for that unlocked for event, he asked advice of a wise and
sober man, Dan Carr, of Femherst, seeing that he was commanded not
to deliver the letters to the Council or the Cardinal. Carr advised him
tp deliver them to the whole Council. He then took them to the
686 34 HENRY VIII.
1542.
1249. LISLE and Others to HENRY VIII. — cont.
Council in Edinburgh1, and delivered them lapped in a blank paper, with
Lisle's superscription, saying that Lisle bade him deliver them to the
King's own hands and ask for answer. They bade him retire, and, after
two days, sent for him, and Arran then said that the Secretary should
bring to his lodging letters to the lord Warden in answer to those he
brought. Send them herewith, together with a letter from the Council
of Scotland to Henry, which was enclosed: in them. Blamed the priest for
not bringing back the letters. Considering that they offer to surrender the
persons that slew the herald,* Lisle has replied as in the copy enclosed,
which will show that he has deputed Sir Ric. Manners with 40 spears
to receive them on the confines of Berwick from ai like number of Scots,
and deliver a safe conduct to one of the two heralds named in the
Council's letter to repair to London, to the King.
The priest says that Arran, who is the next person in the realm to
the Princess (whose name is Mary), sent him word by the Secretary to
speak with him; and bade him tell Lisle that the Cardinal, in whose
arms the King died, had told the Council many things, in the King's
name, which he (Arran) thinks are all lies. Arran and the Council
deputed Argill to go to Dunbarre to receive the castle from Wm. Wemys,
lord of Rethe in the Fyffe, who had given a bond to the late King for
its keeping ; but he refused to deliver it. Argill then went to Temtalon
castle, received it from the keeper, and put in his own servant Hugh
Kenedye, sometime servant to Anguishe. The priest also said that,
where two were taken for killing the herald, he understood by Henry
Raie that three were at the deed, whereof one was brother to Leche;
and that he told the Cardinal, before the Council of Scotland, that the
men who murdered the herald came out of Edinburgh in his company.
This the Cardinal utterly denied, saying he knew of no such men in
his company, and it was pity he should live if he consented to such a
deed, " being called to the degree that hie was." Leche's brother was
arrested by two heralds in the Black Friars at Edinburgh, and he was
called out of church to see him led to the castle. He spoke to Arran
that his master and the other prisoners might be delivered to ransom,
as accustomed; and was told that their keepers should be sent for to
receive them and take order with them as accustomed. The King in
his sickness vomited much, and also had a great laxe, and after death
his body swelled. The garrisons are all dismissed, save 100 hagbushes
in Coldingham, and 20 in Jedworth.
Are informed otherwise that Arran called the Cardinal " false churle,"
and drew1 his sword at him, but not of the cause why they so fell out.
Huntley and the lord Forrbuus have fought in the North, and many
men slain and Huntley worsted.
Lisle wrote on the) 19th that upon word that the King of Scots was
dead, and the Council like to fall at division, it was decided to wait
further instructions before proceeding to such sharp war as might make
those lords of Scotland agree against them. The snow that has fallen
stops the passages, so that little annoyance can be done. Meanwhile
Lisle practises to get the King friends in Scotland and to keep the
lords of Scotland from agreement. Cumberland, according to the King's
command, is gone to his house of Browham in the West Borders, leaving
300 of his Yorkshiremen here in garrison. Alnwick castle, 30 Dec., 6

that Douglas may go into Scotland when he thinks convenient, and his
brother not adventure his person as yet. This is no small burden, but
he will do his best to serve the King, aind proceed by the advice of the
Council here. His brother has shown him secretly that Lisle will be

in the Marches to reside upon them before next Easter, or else appoint
able deputies to do so, with the consent of the Deputy, Chancellor,
Undei*-treasurer and Chief Justice.
Corrected by Wriothesley. Large paper, pp. 4 (originally a roll).
1254. CARDINAL POLE to PLACIDUS CONTARINI.
Placidus is right in writing that he knows Pole loves him no less
than his uncle Cardinal Gaspar Contarini, while he lived, did. Advises
him at length upon matters which he says trouble him, now that, from
being a simple monk, he is made cellarer of his abbey. Bids him show
this letter to his fellow Benedict of Ferrara; and to1 salute Thomas
Contarini and Matth. Dandulusi. Wonders that he has no letters from
Placidus's cousin Aloysius Contarini, who is reported to follow his
(Placidus's) uncle in virtue and learning.
Latin.

APPENDIX.
1. JOHN HALES.
Harl. MS. j. John Hales to Sir Anthony Browne, master of the Horse.
B j^j ' Although the King is a prince of so fatherly love towards his subjects
[1540-2]. that he forbids none to come to his presence, but rather by his gentleness
encourages them, yet it is well to remember that "they have not to
do with man but with a more excellent and divine estate," and therefore
to observe the reverence due to rulers. Some men, too, are so abashed
by the majesty of a prince that they are unable to speak for trembling,
and therefore princes, from the first, have maintained about them noble
and virtuous men, such as Sir Anthony, "a man (without flattery be
it spoken) in whose personage nature hath showed her cunning," whose
wisdom has gained him place in the King's secret council, and whose
valiantness the post of master of the horse and captain " of lusty youth
his Grace's gentlemen pensioners." Begs him to exhibit this " rude
oration" to the King.
ii. Dedication of the accompanying oration to King Henry VIII.,
whose tender care of his subjects (not wasting their lives in war but
providing that they may live in peace and quiet, by fortifying the borders
and frontiers with strong castles and by setting forth God's holy word),
binds them to bless God for a prince whose mind is thus set on the
common wealth of his realm.
iii. " An oration in commendation of laws." Being a collection of
sayings of ancient authors (sacred and profane) in praise of law and
justice. Complains (f. 19) that Duns and his disciples cried out upon
lawyers and blasphemed man/s law. The strumpet of Kent (f. 20)
in her trance, wherein she saw the Deity as she said, saw burning and
tormented in Hell divers judges of this realm. By such means young
gentlemen of good wit were drawn from the Inns of Court to monasteries
of Carthusians and Observants, which may be one cause why the laws
of this realm are not more plainly set forth. A papist might ask (f. 22d.)
why we altered the law that made the bp, of Rome God's vicar on
earth, but we answer that that law was itself but new, and a confirma-
tion of a false doctrine. As a tree cannot hold two " robyn rucks,"
so a realm cannot have two rulers (f. 23) and all dissensions amongst
us (f. 24) have proceeded from " the pestiferous makebate, the bishop
of Rome." Proceeds with a long historical account of that bishop's
usurpations in England. Opposes (f. 31d.} the introduction of "civil"
or " canon " law as contrary, in instances given, to the ancient law of
the realm ; in other instances he shows the superiority of the ancient
law of the realm. If he were asked what jewel or treasure was most
meet for the King he would answer (f. 44i£). " Ten such judges as the
lord Chancellor is." Does not wish to dispraise tEe canon laws (f. 45) —
would to God ours were as well set forth and as pure Latin as they ! —
but thinks our own better for this country,

2. MORYSON to HENRY VIII.
A discourse touching the reformation of the laws of England.
Suggests the reducing of the common law to writing in Latin, and
remarks on the advisability of having it also in English. While speaking
of the necessity of education for lawyers, he says, " How shall a lawyer
be able to make an oration . . . without the knowledge of rhetoric 1 "
After " lawyer," is inserted, " Mr. Chomley excepted." The discourse
was evidently written after the dissolution of the monasteries, from the
mention of abbots as a " kind of people " that " were." Proposes a
yearly memorial of the destruction of the bp. of Rome out of the realm,
as the victory of Agincourt is annually celebrated at Calais, and the
destruction of the Danes at Hoptide. It would be better that the plays
of Robin Hood and Maid Marian should be forbidden, and others devised
to set forth and declare lively before the people's eyes the abomination
and wickedness of the bishop of Rome, monks, friars, nuns, and such
like, and to declare the obedience due to the King. Presents to the King
a rude plot in the Latin tongue of the tenures of lands and of services.

(Parker Soc.)
Since returning home from Venice, has received Bullinger's letter
of the 17th March, and was delighted to learn he proposed to publish
commentaries on Matthew. His transactions in clothi with H. Falckner
at Frankfort. Meant to devote the produce to the use of exiles, for
whom he has given Calvin some money. Is glad to have his commenda-
tions of Peter Hurtzel and Andrew Rapp:enstein. If his wife had known
as much at last fair she would not have required C. Froschover to be
surety for them. Hears that his brother Butler sold all his patrimony
in England last Lent, but he has not yet received the full amount.
Fears if it comes to the King's 'ears through his sister's husband at the
Court he may be forbidden again to leave the kingdom. Elliot is study-
ing the civil law, or rather the laws of England, and has made such
proficiency that he now holds an office that brings him nearly 200 fl. a
year. But Barth. Traheron has with much difficulty returned into the
country, where he is about to marry the daughter of a gentleman who
favours godly doctrine, with whom he will have an income of 120 fl.
for 60 years from a lease made by his father-in-law. He intends more-
over to teach grammar and keep ai school for little boys in som'e small
town in that district.
Has nothing certain to report of the state of the kingdom, except
what Bullinger must have heard three months ago, that the King has
beheaded his wife Katharine Howard, whom he married after divorcing
Anne of Cleves. She was condemned on great suspicion of adultery (as
universally reported by the English) with two g'entlemen before the King
married her; and lady Rochford was beheaded at the same time, who
was privy to her licentiousness. The old duchess dowager of Norfolk is
also delivered to perpetual imprisonment in the Tower of London, and
likewise lord Will. Howard, because they knew of Katharine's vicious
life when the King fell in love with her, and did not inform him before
that hasty marriage. One of the parties who was first hanged and after-
wards beheaded and quartered for adultery with the Queen was one of
the King's Chamberlains,* and two years before or less had violated a
park keeper's wife, whom three or four attendants held down for him in
a thicket. But for this he was pardonedi by the King, and likewise for a
murder committed when some villagers tried to apprehend him for the
crime.
You cannot without danger to my affairs write me anything about
the Christian religion; besides, if you could, I am not worthy of the
honour. I am sorry you have spent so much money on my account, and,
most of all, that you are ill of a fever. My wife salutes you.

CHAPUYS CORRESPONDENCE.
A great part of this volume was already printed off when the
Public Record Office acquired transcripts of MSS. at Vienna, of which
the Editors had made their abstracts from the longer abstracts printed
in the Spanish Calendar. In accordance with the rule to describe all
documents from the original text, when available, new abstracts from
these transcripts were made for the remainder of the volume (No. 687
to the end). It has also been thought desirable to give the following
new abstracts, on the same plan, of several of the earlier documents of
this year ; and as these are intended to supersede the abstracts in the
text no reference is made to the latter in the Index. The documents are
all in French.

King's Council, he can answer no further than in his letters of the 29th and
30th ult., except to praise her prudence in dealing with the ambassadors. In
accordance with her said letters, remonstrated that the King should not halt
at accessories like the intercourse, which concerned sabjects privately, when there
was question o? the ancient amity between the Houses. Was answered, as he
wrote on the 30th ult., that that was true, if those of Flanders had not made
the accessory the principal [point], by alleging in the Edict that the King
had made statutes contrary to the treaties. But when he had given the Council
his opinion, they did not reply again.
As to the, King's declaring to the French that in making closer amity or
marriage elsewhere, he wished to be paid his. debt; that must be believed,
and also that he listened to the practice of the Princess's marriage, expecting
some good sum of money as a preliminary. The French, when they began
the practice, imagined, quite otherwise, that even if it had no other effect, they
would redeem themselves from the importunity which this King was making
for payment (as shown by two copies of the king of France's letters to his
ambassador, which Chapuys sent) and would at least keep him from joining
the Emperor. The French ambassador, as his man sent word yesterday, has
no more hope of the marriage, .and. not being so well [accepted] here as he
used to be, has written urgently to his master for his conge. According to the
man the ambassador's language and gestures last time he spoke with the King
were as the King declared to Chapuys ; and he was in Court on Sunday
last to speak with the King about a private affair of a ship (for he has
had no letters from his master since those of which Chapuys sent the copy),
but did not see the King and only spoke with the Council.
As to the time of the last charge and revocation of the said ambassadors,
thinks that it was since this King heard of the Emperor's fortune in Alger ;
but, for all that, neither the King nor his Councillors have shown themselves
more arrogant for it (ne sen sont monstrez plus bravez). Even if they wished
to do so, they would dissemble until they see clearly how affairs will go between
the Emperor and France; for if they see likelihood of war, it will be
difficult to make them enter a new league except to their own great advantage,
their instance for the league having only been for fear lest? if the Emperor
and king of France were to agree, war might be made upon them.
Ten days ago arrived here the ambassadors, who, as he wrote, were to come
from Scotland, the chief being the bp. of Albardin, who was in embassy here
about nine years ago. There is also another bishop,* and a secretary named
Valentin, and they bring a considerable company (assez grand train). They
have already been twice at Court, well received, going and coming
accompanied by the bps. of Winchester and London and other personages.
They have had considerable communication with the Council. As yet nothing
is known of their charge. The Duke of Norfolk has been sent for (? envoye
guerre qy. querre ?), by one of the King's chamber, to assist at these communications,
he having been governor of the North and having deputed part of the captains on the
Scottish frontier. Notwithstanding the demonstration of amity, this King, three
days ago, despatched in post the master engineer^ who began and planned the
fortresses there, to hasten the work upon them. London, 10 Jan. 1541.

R. O. Has received his of 10 and 19 Nov. and the llth and 18th ult., and
understood his speech with the Privy Seal, and also what the Clerk of the Council
told him about entering a new treaty with the King. Cannot answer further
than in last letters, except to charge him again to learn, if possible, what the
King intends to do for the Emperor in that case, and to certify the King
and his ministers that the Emperor is no less inclined to it, provided that
they show themselves tractable, and therefore it would be well if they declared
confidentially and plainly their intention. No doubt Chapuys can draw out
of them all that is possible — to send it as soon as possible, together with his
own advice.
As to the Queen of England and the new divorce, has nothing more to say,
except that he will be glad to hear what is done with the Queen, and the rest
of the occurrents. Tour de Sillas, 26 Jan. 1541.
As to the saying of the French ambassador's man that the ambassador had
ample instructions and power to conclude the marriage between Orleans and
the Princess, and he knew the means to prevent it, but would not do so because
he had yet no answer to his demands ; dexterity must be used to know the
said means, as far as possible, and to entertain the man, advancing him some
money, if necessary, with assurance that the Emperor is mindful of his said
demands, but is not quite sure what they are, and Secretary Bave does not
remember them all, while the letters by which they were sent are lost in the
sea. Another memorandum is to be sent at the first opportunity, in order
that the Emperor may see what he can do for the man.
Heard that the King of England was wishing to take again the sister of the
Duke of Cleves, which, according to Chapuys' discourse with the Clerk of the
Council, seems unlikely ; and yet he must have an eye to it, knowing how
important it is to the Emperor that that reconciliation should not be made, and
seek by all means to turn the King from it.
29 Jan. 4 [No. 63]. CHAPUYS to CHARLES Y.
K. O. Eight days ago received, together, the Emperor's letters of 2, 14, and
27 Nov. and the 29th ult. ; since the date of which Chapuys' letters, especially
those of the 29th ult. and 10th inst., will have shown the news here and this
King's inclination to the affair of a new treaty, which he has so long sought.
One of the principal causes which moved him to it was fear of the amity
between the Emperor and the king of France, whom he thus tried to sever ;
and it is therefore to be doubted that, while he sees likelihood of enmity between
them, he will make no suit for the proposed treaty, but rather will scarcely
listen to it, especially if there is likelihood of immediate war, in which case
he will temporise with both parties, both to avoid expense (of which he is now
enemy) and, when both are wearied, to play upon a certainty (jouer comme
a boule veu) and obtain more advantageous conditions. The Emperor is aware
how changeable these people are, and that they know how to profit by the
times. This King cannot be persuaded to a reconciliation with the Pope;
and, if the conclusion, of the aforesaid treaty depended only on the omission
of that article, no imputation could be made upon the Emperor, who has
so often pressed him to it. He cannot presume that Chapuys1 language
to him, these two last times, proceeds from the Emperor, seeing that Chapuys
had already broached it to the lord Privy Seal in November, and had afterwards
asked audience to speak of it, as his letters will have shown.

Has not been in Court since the date of his last, although this King's
ambassadors* are returned from Fla.nders, and the Council informed him that
they would soon recall him to communicate upon the affair of trade for which
these ambassadors went to the Queen. Desires to be called in order to try
and learn further of the King's intention, and especially upon the despatch
of the bp. of London (whom the King has decided, since the coming of Mr.
Guenevet's man, to send as ambassador in Guenevet's place) who is to leave,
by sea, in ten or twelve days. It is he who was ambassador in France, when
the Emperor passed that way, and was recalled for his haughty language to the
King of France.
Neither has the French ambassador been in Court, and, unless within these
two or three days, he has had no news from his master; but his man informs
Chapuys that he has had letters from friends at Court, advertising him that
Mtre. Chr. Richier succeeded marvellously in his embassy of Denmark, to the
great satisfaction of his King. That King lately assembled his captains to
consult about war, and concluded, upon the advice of Marechal Hannebault,
first to amass money enough to keep a great army in the field for eight months.
Another assembly has since been held, at which were the count of St. Pol and
the Admiral; and the king of France had sent Vincentio Maggio and Captain
Poulain to the Turk, and Marechal du Bies, governor of Boulogne, kept
warning him that the fortification of Montoire near Ardres must be prevented,
or else Ardres would remain between M:ontoire and Guynes like a quail
between two hawks. It was also written that the king of France wished to
make a fort and haven at Wyssant, between Boulogne and Calais, which would
indeed make the English desperate.
Parliament lately commenced, and the principal point of the Chancellor's
opening speech was the Queen's misdeeds, which he aggravated and exaggerated.
Upon that article the lords and prelates, four days ago, declared the Queen
guilty of treason and likewise lady Rochefort ; and, as to the widowed duchess
of Norfolk and her daughter, f that they ought to be condemned to perpetual
prison and confiscation of goods for the same cause for which lord William and
his wife, the other accomplices, were sentenced. That determination will in two
days be presented to the deputies of the Commonalty.
Had just written the above when he was advertised that the Commons house
this morning determined, in the above affair, as the lords and prelates have
done ; and it is to be feared that the Queen will soon be sent to the Tower,
who is still at Sion making good cheer, fatter and more beautiful than ever,
careful in her attire and more imperious and difficult to serve than when she
was with the King, although she expects death, and only asks for a secret
execution. It might be that the King would use mercy towards her if he
had no desire to marry again, or if he found it lawful to leave her because
of adultery and marry another (and the question has already been debated
among doctors of theology), although hitherto there is no sign that the King
seeks to re-marry or to serve any lady. She of Cleves has less hope of
reconciliation than ever. At this New Year she presented to the King certain
pieces of crimson, and he certain pots and flagons to her.
The ambassadors of Scotland are still here, and nothing can be learnt of their
charge and business. Although on good terms with them, the King does not
cease co push on the fortification of the frontiers of Scotland, and to provide
for all things necessary, and now again he is sending one+ of his Chamber to be
captain of Ul, which town, although far enough from the frontier, is important

because of its port. It may be that he is moved by Chapuys1 language to
him about the intelligence between the Icing of France and the duke of Holstiin,
for the ships of Eastland come usually to that port.
Forgot to say that many think that this King wishes again to ask money
in this Parliament, which would put the people in despair. This is presumed
because the Chancellor, in his opening speech, touched upon the great expenses
which the King sustained, having to maintain 14,000 men in guarding the
fortresses newly made and rtpaired, and in fortifying them further and making
more.

R. O. By his last, of the 29th ult., advertised the condemnation by Parliament
of the Queen and ladies Norfolk, her daughter* and Rochford. Until then this
King bad never, since he detected the Queen's conduct, shown joy ; as he has
done since, especially on the said 29th., when he gave a supper and banquet
to the ladies, 26 of whom were at his table, with certain lords, and 35 at an
adjoining table. She to whom, for the time, he showed most favor and affection
was the sister of lord Coban and of the wife whom Mr. Huyet repudiated for
adultery. She is a beautiful girl, with wit enough, if she tried, to do as badly
as the others. It is also said that the King has a fancy for the daughter of
Madame Albart, niece of the Grand Esquire, Mr. Anthony Brun. Likewise there
is bruit of a daughterf of the wife of Mons. Lyt, formerly deputy of Callais, by
her first marriage ; and this is presumed partly because the said deputy, who
has been nearly two years in close prison in the Tower, goes at liberty within
it, and his arms, which were removed from the chapelt of the Order, are ordered
to be restored. §
Two days ago the comptroller of the King's house,ll went to Sion to
break up the Queen's household and take her to the Tower, of which he is cap-
tain. Hears that it is not yet quite resolved what to do with her, but in two or
three days all ought to be concluded.
The French ambassador's man says that the ambassador has received no
letters of importance for a long time; and that by last letters his King only
wrote to him to continue the practices and make every effort to keep the English
from leaguing with the Emperor, and, among other persuasions, to assure
this King that, with a treaty between them, he would have the Scots at his
devotion. Since the receipt of these letters the ambassador was with some
(partie) of the Council, and left so troubled that for three days he could make
no good cheer, showing great dissatisfaction with the said Councillors, especially
the lord Privy Seal. Upon that annoyance (marrissement), he has sent his
cousin express to the French Court to solicit his recall. His dissatisfaction
was not sweetened by the sending of the bp. of London to the Emperor, the
bp. being taken for a bad Frenchman, as he has reason to be after the treatment
he received in France.

The bp. of London came lately to dine with Chapuys, who could learn nothing
of his charge ; indeed, his despatch was not yet resolved, which was only
delivered to him yesterday. He reckons to depart to-morrow. The ambassadors
of Scotland, who were here, are returning, presented with about 1,500 ducats
in plate. Cannot learn that they have other despatch, save that the King and
his Council were so busy in Parliament that other affairs could not be heard;
after the dissolution of Pailiament the King would willingly hear what they
came about. The French ambassador's man lately undertook to spy something
of their charge, of which, as yet, nothing is made public. [London, 9 Feb.]

deciphering similar letters. Begs her to let the Emperor know anything in
them that is worth mention.
Parliament will, within three days, be dismissed until All Saints. Nothing
is yet published of the Acts made there. Learns from a good quarter that they
are considering an enhancement of the coinage (quilz son en termez de Jiaulser
lez monnoyez), after the example of the French. The Princess has lately been
a little indisposed. Now, thank God, she is better. The King sends to visit
her, and has also sent her his physicians ; as he has done to Madam Anne of
Cleves, who is ill at Richmond of a tertian fever. The wife of lord Vullien,
who, together with three young ladies, was some time ago delivered from prison,
spoke the other day to the King, and was well received. It is hoped that she
will soon obtain the release of her husband and mother-in-law, the duchess of
Norfolk. Eight days ago arrived here Count Claude Rangon, with another young
count and a Captain Camille ; who seem to have left France dissatisfied, for
they have not visited the ambassador, and reckon to return to Italy by Flanders
and Germany. Believes that to be more welcome to the King they gave out
that they were on bad terms with the Pope; but for that they will
not get much money from the King, unless they be ivilling to enterprise the
death of Cardinal Paulo. London, 25 March 1542.
9 April. 12 [No. 245]. CHAPTJYS to the QUEEN OF HUNGARY.
B. O. The courier, being ready to depart, leaves him no leisure to make this
more than a notice of the receipt of hers of 31 March, together with the power
and letters therein mentioned. Was glad to get them, as those of the Council
who favour the Emperor were murmuring because the prefixed term of ten months
was past without news of an affair for which he had been sought by so solemn
an embassy.* They also suspected that Chapuys was suppressing letters and
had not done his duty. Another unpalatable conjecture was the continual com-
munications with the French ambassador, and especially on Tuesday and Wednesday
last, on which day he had long audience of the King. Chapuys would have no
fear of his practices hindering the closer amity if the Emperor's power and
instructions were come ; but he fears that hers will be little regarded, and
rather interpreted as meant to espy their intention, especially as he is so little
furnished with instructions. Begs to be more particularly enlightened how to
proceed in this case, which, in his opinion, wants more prudent negociation.
Meanwhile will strive to dispose affairs well and spoil nothing. After his return
from Court, where he dines to-morrow, will write at length. London, Easter
Day 1542.

B. O. On Easter Eve received his letters of the 14th ult., and at once advertised
this King, who, because of Easter Day and his taking communion (et qu'il se
debuoit communier), deferred audience until Monday. Was then received as
usual, and declared the first letters, and showed them, to the King's
evident pleasure, adding that he had another letter of a day later which
was much more ample ; and thereupon amplified the first letter as
seemed convenient, replying, when Henry expressed surprise that since
leaving Italy the Emperor had written Chapuys nothing of the affair spoken of
by Granvelle and Winchester, that (besides the legitimate excuses of the expedition
of Argel, assembly of the Estates of Castile, affairs of his kingdoms, and absence
of Granvelle) until the receipt of Chapuys' letters the Emperor could not think
otherwise than that Guenebet, who was Winchester's colleague, had commission
to treat of the said affairs. The King, however, insisted on saying that it was
quite unnecessary to charge Granvelle to negociate with the Pope in his favour,

for he had nothing to do with the Pope, and Granvelle had there treated trouble-
some things. Told him there was nothing to his disadvantage ; and he answered
that he had perceived nothing, for otherwise he would have already shown his
resentment. He thought it a ruse to say that the Emperor had sent power
and instruction by the other sea and not by this, where the way was open
and shorter, and that the Queen Regent's power was merely meant to espy
his intention ; he had often been thus trifled with before, both by the Emperor
and the French, but must be roundly dealt with. Answered that the way by
the Eastern sea (mer de Levant) was best, in order that Granvelle, through
whose hands all had passed, might see the instructions, which had also to be
seen by the Queen and Council in Flanders, since the principal part of what
was to be treated concerned the affairs of the Low Countries, and there was
shorter passage at this season when brigantines could navigate both with sails
and oars. Assured him that he had no occasion to mistrust the Queen, and
that the Emperor never went so roundly to work as now ; and that now
was the time to speak frankly, since the cause of distrust on both sides
had ceased, viz., the intelligence with France, and moreover he might speak as
confidentially to Chapuys as to any subject or servant he had, who would reveal
nothing without his express command, and would write anything as of himself
without revealing that it proceeded from him. Added that if he wished to
go roundly to work there was no great need to wait for other power or instruc-
tion, for a prince so virtuous, learned, reasonable, and experienced would put
nothing forward that Chapuys dared not accept, beseeching him, for the sake
of his own honour and of Christendom, to take up this affair and order it as
mediator and neutral.
He was greatly pleased with this language, which had been suggested
to Chapuys by the lord Privy Seal, who knows his nature better than
any man in England, and shows great devotion to the Emperor, although
too cautious to speak to Chapuys at Court save in passing between him and
Secretary Wrist, who shows no less affection. Added that it would be no
labour to him to undertake these affairs, for he must have already resolved when
he sent Winchester. He remained thoughtful and (not without irritation, which
he showed several times while Chapuys was speaking) began to wonder that
there was no news of Spain, especially of the doings of the Cortes of Castille.
Chapuys said he heard that Castille had granted a great aid to the Emperor.
He smiled, and, after some thought, said that that aid would not be so great
and was, besides, conditional upon the Emperor's not going out of Spain and
taking a wife ; and he heard that the Emperor was in treaty to take her of
Portugal, daughter of the Queen of France. Answered that the Cortes had
indeed made these requests, but, after the Emperor's first speech to them, they
had given up hope of the first ; and as to the second Chapuys firmly believed
that the Emperor had not accorded it, as he was intent upon making an expedition
against the Turk, and therefore should not marry ; for ladies dissuade such
journeys, and, besides, it was not lawful for one to be too long away from
his wife. He replied that if the Emperor had had such desire (euvre qu. envie?)
to face the Turk, he might well have done it last year, as he had sufficiently
warned him of the Turk's coming ; and he might easily have broken the Turk's
army and captured his person, to his own glory and profit. Reminded him of
the difficulty of making the assembly when the pestilence reigning throughout
Austria had depopulated the cities and made it impossible to get victuals, and
the Emperor knew by experience that the Turk would retire without waiting
for the Emperor's forces, as he did at Vienna, and as he did the last time, and,
in order to follow him, the affairs of Germany must first be re-established (for
which the Emperor must speak to the Pope) and the Emperor's realms provided

1542.
for, especially Spain, which must be secured from the incursions of the Moors, as
from it the Emperor must draw most of his men and money. Made the more
of this as the King wished to blame the Emperor somewhat therein. Afterwards,
when the King asked for other news, Chapuys gave him some from Italy, adding
that it was written from Milan that there was good friendship with the French
of Piedmont, who were bragging that he wa's offering them the Princess and
pressing for an interview, but they made little account of either. The King
then said that was wrong ; for it was the king of France who made great
instance for the marriage of his said daughter, and offered, when things were
concluded, to come to Calais. Replied that, in such a case, the king of France
would promise anything, and would not only come to Calais, but come with a
great power to drive him out of it ; reminding him how the bp. of Tarbe said
in his presence and that of his Council, Chapuys standing by, that the house
of France would never have made alliance by marriage with Savoy unless to
step into the state of Savoy. He answered that there were many reasons against
the affair, but it must not be considered impossible. Speaking of the Diet of
Spire, Chapuys said he had letters from the King of the Romans desiring to
be recommended to him, and trusting that, in this sacred enterprise against the
Turk, he would not fail to give the assistance becoming so powerful and virtuous
a prince, especially if the good intelligence with the Emperor was restored.
He made no answer, seeming by his countenance to acquiesce ; but only saying
that he heard that the Lutherans had proposed something in the Diet which,
if concluded, might turn to the disadvantage of the King of the Romans. After
a conversation lasting an hour and a half, the King said he was certified that
the Emperor, through the Pope, was soliciting a new amity with France. Chapuys
answered that he did not believe it ; but, if so, the best thing would be to
hasten the treaty here. The King then said that he was going to read the
letters from the Queen, which Chapuys had presented, and would, after speaking
with his Council, communicate with Chapuys. The letters were in his credence,
sent by the Queen in lieu of instruction.
Immediately after leaving the King, Chapuys received word from him to
communicate with the Councillors, and accompanied them to their Chamber, where
he repeated to them the substance of his speech to the King, enriching his own
desire to promote the practice, and offering to despatch a man to the Emperor
or go himself, and begging them to assist and get the King as mediator and
neutral to lay hold of the affair. They seemed greatly pleased, and Chapuys left
the Court.
Next day, Tuesday, the Council asked him to dine with them on the Wednesday,
and bring his power and any other thing he "wished to snow. Being with them
and thinking to show his power, he found that his man had made a mistake
and taken another instrument in its place ; but they were satisfied with the
substance as he related it, and so was the King, to whom the whole was
at once notified by the lord Privy Seal and Secretary Vristley. Was thereupon
asked to declare his charge and make overtures, but answered that, as was
customary, the King should appoint deputies for the practice. They thought
this reasonable, and the Privy Seal and Vristley returned to the King, who said
he thought so too, but, as such matters would not be concluded suddenly, he
had not thought it necessary for the time to make the power ; and, had it not
been that the duke of Suffolk, the Privy Seal, bp. of Winchester, and Secretary
Vristley were occupied with a certain great affair,* he would have deputed
them ; in their place would be the Admiral, the bps. of Durem and Wamester,
and Secretary Sadeler, Vristley's colleague, who would next day, Thursday, dine
with Chapuys.
After dinner, showed them the power, and replied to their request for some
overture, that the King must have thought over the affair of closer amity when

he sent Winchester about it ; there ought to be no ceremony as to who should
speak first ; on receipt of the Emperor's instructions he would roundly declare
the whole, and meanwhile, to save time, the King should partly declare his
intention ; without the said instructions he could only resume the four articles
which were already formulated,* the first two of which, viz., the King's recon-
ciliation with the Holy See and the legitimation of the Princess, he would not
say more of without a new command ; as for the third, aid against the Turk,
now was the time to treat of it, and to lay not only the Emperor and king of
the Romans, but all Christendom, especially Germany, under an obligation to
the King ; as to the fourth, concerning the French, things were since changed,
for the Emperor had a truce with them. To their question how long that truce
would last, he answered that, in his opinion, the Emperor could already allege
rupture of it, and it would last no longer than suited the French. After some
further conversation they departed to report the whole to the King.
On Saturday, yesterday, the deputies returned, bringing the Emperor's letters
of the 5th inst., which, at their request, he read and declared the substance to
them, enriching the report of the honesty of Mr. Quenevet, with whom he fears
that the King is not satisfied, but knows not the cause. They then said that
the King thanked Chapuys for his good will to serve, and wished him (although
he had not the requisite power) to be told that the confirmation of past treaties,
upon which his power seemed founded, was not needed ; for the King held
them good and had always observed them, although they had been violated by
the Edict in Flanders against lading in English ships (adding hereupon the
contents of the bill presented to the Emperor by the bp. of London, and saying
that, as no innovation was made in Spain, it could not have proceeded from
the Emperor, but rather from some of the Council of Flanders, and praying
Chapuys strongly to get the Edict revoked) ; the question was to consult for
a closer intelligence in pursuance of what was said between Granvelle and Win-
chester, whereupon the King would desire Chapuys to make some overture.
The King remembered well the discussion of the four articles he had touched
upon, and it was prudent not to press the two first, for, as to the Pope, the
Emperor would soon be more easy to convert to the King's opinion, and, as
to his daughter, it was his own matter. As to the other two points, it must
first be noted that he was in good amity with all the world, especially the
French and Scots, and if he treated against the French he must be indemnified
for the pensions due to him by the French. As to the Turk, they only said
that, after the principal, the accessories would be easily managed.
Chapuys, with thanks for the King's good opinion, answered that there was no
great occasion to again importune the Emperor for the revocation of the Edict,
seeing that the Council of Flanders were fully instructed of the case and those
of this Council could not answer what Chapuys alleged to them therein last
summer, when he gave them his arguments in writing, which still remain
unanswered (and here he repeated some of the arguments and showed how their
last statutes contravened the treaties, especially the expelling of many of the
Emperor's subjects, the compelling others to buy letters of naturalization and
make a strange oath of fealty, and the prohibition to export almost every
commodity) ; and that navigation was not forbidden to them in Spain they might
thank the Emperor's absence, for, otherwise, his subjects there would have already
importuned him to observe their ancient pragmatics, that no foreign ships should
be laden while those of the country are there, whereby the Emperor would in
six years have ten ships where there is now one, and more mariners than he
could ask for ; and, if only to repair the loss of vessels in Argel, Chapuys thought
that the Emperor would be constrained to do it. At this the commissioners
* In February, 1535- See Vol. X., Nos. 351 (p. 133), 575.
HENRY VIII. 723
1542.
were much astonished, " et eussent bien longuement estonne dessus qui ne les
eust tresbien rebarbe a vives raisons." For the rest, told them that, as no offensive
league against France was spoken of, there was no need to put forward the
indemnification for the pensions ; by the treaty of Cambray, the King was bound
to assist the Emperor with ships and men in case of defence, and, even if an
offensive league was spoken of, they should not ask for the said indemnity, since
they knew that the French never intended to pay anything ; but Chapuys dared
promise that, if an offensive league was treated and the occasion offered, the
Emperor would undertake the indemnity on condition that no arrears remained
due (which will never happen). The King was bound in conscience to help the
Emperor formerly, seeing that the French made war with his money, which he
had not deigned to take. If he knew how to get it paid the French would
thereby be brought so low that they would leave the world in peace for a tune.
As these men's affairs with France do not go too warmly, although they say
that the French are promising them many things, Chapuys thought best to
speak a little more coldly than at the beginning ; that they might not, according
to thair custom, have occasion to cool, telling them that they must wait for his
instructions, which he doubted that Granvelle had received by the way and carried
back to the Emperor ; but there would be no prejudice in that, since it appeared,
by the Emperor's letters, that the bp. of London had some charge to treat these
affairs. The commissioners then departed to report to the King. As he has
several times written, it will be hard to make profit of this King, or get him
to treat except to his own great advantage, and the French will make as little
of him. To send De Courrieres hither before affairs are in good train would
do hurt rather than profit. Writes to Secretary Bave the names of those to
whom letters should be addressed.
Since the Emperor wrote he will have learnt from Chapuys's letters how
the French ambassador received two powers to treat, and has had frequent com-
munication with those here, having, since Chapuys last wrote, been with the
Privy Seal on Holy Tuesday and with the King next day ; while those Coun-
cillors who are partial to the Emperor were murmuring at the slowness of news
from his Majesty, thinking either that their King was contemned or Chapuys
was concealing the Emperor's answer. The ambassador intended going to Court
on Easter Monday, but abstained, because Chapuys was going, and next day,
when the Privy Seal and two or three others of the Council came to this town,
he went to them, and on his return set himself to write. This morning his
man says that he spoke of the great cheer made to Chapuys, who was in Court
only for affairs of Flanders, especially the prohibition of navigation — a report
which Chapuys had given to one whom the ambassador uses as a spy. The
man adds that the ambassador has been saying that the English are the strangest
people, putting things forward ardently, and then showing themselves cold, but
they had found their merchant in him, for if they were cold to him he would
be frost to them. He had commission to ask 500,000 ducats dot for the Princess,
besides extinction of the pensions, but, being commanded not to irritate the English,
he dared not mention it. He is sorry that Norfolk has gone home and is unlikely
to return to Court unless Parliament reassembles ; and he is grieved to negociate
with the Privy Seal, whose name is Feuvullien. The ambassador, playing upon
that name, calls him Faulx Villain, and reports that Norfolk has said, " Regardez
ce petit villain, il veult desja tout embrasser et contrefaire Crumvel, inais que
la fin payeroit le tout."
As to preventing the marriage and reconciliation with her of Cleves ; there is
no likelihood of the King's marrying her or any other, unless to amuse himself
with company, as he has been always nurtured among ladies. Since he heard
of his late wife's conduct he has not been the same man, and Chapuys has
always found him sad, pensive, and sighing. She of Cleves is cured of the
tertian fever ; but the Princess still suffers from palpitation of the heart.

This Parliament has decreed that lords and rich men, according to their power,
Churchmen not excepted, shall keep great horses ; but nothing else of importance
has been passed. Wrote that, from the harangue made to Parliament, it seemed
that this King would ask another aid from the people, but (perhaps doubting
murmur) he has, in lieu of it, made a loan from the rich which will produce
an inestimable amount. First on the roll are the two dukes,* each for 6,000
ducats, although they are both scant of money, the Chancellor and Privy Seal, each
for 4,000, the Admiral for 3,500, and all the rest, except that Churchmen will
be charged more. All is to bo collected before Michaelmas. Het who has charge
of it gives out that it is to assist the Emperor against the Turk, which Chapuys
thinks is far enough from the King's intention, who, he imagines, would be pleased
to be asked for assistance by the States of the Empire. Intends to advertise the
King of the Romans of this if the haste of the courier permits. Count Loys
(sic) Rangon has been presented by the King with a great gilt cup, containing 400
ducats. Some who have spoken with him think that desire to see the country
and hope of a present have rather induced him to come hither than to complain,
as he has done, of the Pope, for depriving him of certain castles on the Parmesan
which belonged to his late wife.

3 May. 17 [No. 293]. CHARLES V. to CHAPTJYS,
B. O. Has, since he last wrote, received Chapuys's letters, both by way of
Flanders and through Granvelle, of 25 Feb. and 25 March ; and is pleased with
his news, and thanks him for his dexterity and vigilance against the French
practises and in promoting the closer amity with England. Although experience
has shown that the English are prone to temporize both with him and France,
to see how affairs succeed, yet, to fulfil the agreement made at Reghensbourg
to listen to a closer confederation within ten months, caused Granvelle on his
return to communicate with the bp. of London and him* who returns thither. The
bp. affirmed that his master sincerely desired a brief conclusion and had sent
him for that purpose ; but no particular could be learnt from the said ambassadors
of the King's intention, save that past treaties shall be revised and augmented
or diminished ; and they insisted on the prompt revocation of the late Edict in
the Low Countries and that all past occasions of enmity should be forgotten.
It was suggested that such treaties commonly are grounded upon defence and
offence, and then the bp. indicated that his master would stop at defence between
his realm and the Low Countries. He did indeed say generally that the King
will do all that is reasonable and honorable, but not whether this was in reference
to the Pope's authority or to treaties with France. It was then concluded with
the said ambassadors that the Emperor should send express power to Chapuys,
in addition to that which he will have already had from the Queen of Hungary,
to treat the said closer alliance, &c., referring minor difficulties to the said
Queen, to whom the Emperor would write to let Chapuys know what could
be done touching the revocation of the Edict. Sends, in writing, what has been
drafted therein here, in order that it may be provided against ; for otherwise a
like prohibition must be made here to counteract the hurt done by the edicts
and prohibitions made in England. It is agreed that during this communication
there shall be the same cessation of treating to each other's prejudice as was
accorded at Reghensbourg. Having written his intention generally, and sup-
posing that Chapuys has copies of all the 'past treaties and will be instructed
by the Queen of all that concerns the Low Countries, the Emperor writes to her
to send him copies of treaties, and to the Sieur de Praet to assist by his
knowledge of past dealings with England.
Briefly, nothing is to be capitulated against the authority of the Pope, or
which could give the King's ministers and subjects excuse to speak ill of the
Pope's authority or live scandalously in the Emperor's dominions, but, as the
bp. said, honour is t,o be regarded on both sides. The French must not get
knowledge of this practice, although they have been the first to contravene their
promisef touching the King of England, and have already informed the Pope
that the Emperor was in treaty with that King, leaving the mutual private
promisef and only seeking to incense the Holy Father and excuse the French
King from the charge of practising for Orleans' marriage with the Princess.
All possible must be done to draw the King to offence against France, at least
that the defence may be general, or, failing that, for these kingdoms together
with Navarre and the Low Countries, and the assistance definite and mainly in
money. Chapuys must also try to induce the King to aid the Emperor in the
recovery of Gheldres and Zutphen, especially if France opposes it ; and, at the
least, not to favour the duke of Cleves. He shall also put the King against
the duke of Holsten, elect king of Denmark, as regards the right of the Emperor's
niece, daughter of King Christiern, or at least not to deal with the duke of
Holsten and the Hanse towns (villes Australes) in matters touching the Empire and
the Low Countries. Chapuys shall see that the English take no advantage in
writing the treaties, in which they have always shown themselves " advantaigeulx. "
If the King proposes recompense for the pension, Chapuys shall graciously excuse

it, showing how the Emperor's amity assists him, especially in regard to his
ancient quarrels with France, the King of which practises for the marriage of
his daughter with a view to gain time during his life and afterwards to dis-
inherit his son, and to that end supports the king of Scotland. With this
alliance, the king of France will despair of that practice and will be constrained
to pay both pension and arrears.
Nothing must be treated against the confederation which the Emperor has
with Scotland ; nor to the prejudice of the Princess. Chapuys shall also see
whether the King can be induced to aid against the Turk, either now or in the
future. Valladolid, 3 May 1542.

R. O. The 18th April, Mons. de Langey, after dining with the English am-
bassador, took him by the hand and told him that it lay with the Emperor,
not tha King, that affairs of Christendom were in no better state. That the
Pope lately wrote to the King, willing him anew to listen to the marriage
of Orleans with the Emperor's daughter ; but the King should know that the
Emperor does this only to hinder the marriage of England, and afterwards mock
us by saying, " quy ne peult mouldre a ung moulin sy s'en voyse a 1'oultre."
That the chancellor of Allengon, the King's ambassador at this Diet of Spires,
spoke too much and exceeded his instructions, at which the King was not
pleased. That the ambassadors of the lords of Germany are expected at the
French Court daily. That the Emperor does his best to get the lords of
Germany to declare against the King, but they will remain neutral. That the
marquis of Piscaire had reinforced the garrisons of Yvree and the castle of
Vulpian, with five ensigns of Spaniards, for fear of 3,000 Swiss whom the King
had in that quarter. That Captain Poulain was passed to Eaguza, returning, for
the King, to the Grand Seigneur ; and the Spaniards set by Piscaire to fall
upon him, after failing in their enterprise, took 18 French students who were
on the river Pau, going to Padua, and sent them to the bottom, at which the
King is so irritated as to wish to begin war. That the King, after his return
from Burgundy, which will be towards the end of this month of May, will
make a general muster on 15 June, and is counselled to make an enterprise on
the side of Picardy sooner than elsewhere.
[June.] 19 [No. 363]. CHAPUYS to the QUEENS OF HUNGARY.
B» O. In pursuance of the contents of his last of Whitsun Eve, has been with
this King at Hampton Court these four feast days,* to proceed, as commanded
by the Emperor, in the matter of the closer amity ; and it has been to his
regret that meanwhile he has had no news from her for his guidance in so
weighty a matter, in which the Emperor, by his letters of the 3rd ult., refers
him to her. It would have come marvellously d propos if he had been categoric-
ally instructed, for he thinks that the King and Council were well inclimed to
accept reasonable overtures, the King, like a virtuous and prudent prince, con-
sidering that this confederation would not only remedy the Emperor's troubles
(to whom he has always borne a paternal affection) but those of all Christendom,
for the benefit of which he would spare nothing, not even his own person.
He knows the labyrinth he will enter by joining the Emperor, and the trouble
and expense of it, which he might very well avoid if he thought only of himself ;
*or he has no enemy and the French do not deny his pensions, as they will
do if this intelligence is effected. In default of particular instructions, has tried

by all possible means to find out how far the King will go in this confederation,
and (in spite of all Chapuys' remonstrances of the necessity of this amity, for
the assurance of himself and his posterity and this realm, to which the French
evidently aspire, and other respects too long to write), cannot obtain more than
the articles enclosed, the most important of which seems to be the aid of 3,000
foot and 3,000 horse, which he should receive (?) in case of invasion of France.
In the present conjuncture of affairs of Christendom and of the Emperor it would
be a chef d'oeuvre to draw the King to that invasion by means of the said
assistance or part of it (at least of the ordinary bands of Flanders somewhat
increased). In Chapuys's foolish fancy, the articles should be accorded without
too much scruple, considering the benign nature of the King, who, when once
he has set his mind upon a person or an enterprise, goes the whole length.
Moreover, this is only a beginning of the amity between their Majesties, who,
when once entered upon this conquest of France, may afterwards modify the
articles to the greater satisfaction of both. Would beg her to believe that it
is expedient to resolve quickly, for, besides that those here would be annoyed by
delay, one must fear the diabolical practices of the enemies, who are not asleep.
Moreover, it is more than requisite for the King's satisfaction and for the
Emperor's honor that this practice should be so secret that no one may know
of it ; and both the Emperor and she would incur great blame if it were dis-
covered, in view of the King's frankness and his confidence in Chapuys. Under-
stands from the King's ministers that he would be gratified if, in her letters,
she would omit the title bel oncle, which serves only to recall old wounds. And
with more reason one might omit to call Madame Marie princess, seeing that
he has a son to whom " sans controverse ou " — (breaks off' abruptly).

R. O. Awaiting news of his business with the King of England's ministers,
sends a packet from the King of the Romans addressed to the Councillor De S.
Moris, who is " en bonne gne " (en Bourgogne ?) on the Emperor's service, and
will not soon return. Chapuys may make S. Moris's excuses, of sickness or other
hindrance, as having sent him the packet in order that he may, in the name
of the king of the Romans, beg the King of England to assist in this enterprise
against the Turk.
The king of France daily increases his forces on the side of Lutzembourg, as
also do the footmen whom his ministers are levying on the side of Cleves and
Geldres. Upon her remonstrating, through the Imperial ambassador, at the
accumulation of such great forces, if he meant to observe the truce of Nice,
especially at the practices of his ministers in Cleves in assembling men to surprise
these countries, the King answered that the assembly on the side of Cleves
was for his service, not to invade these countries, unless occasion was given, but
to secure his own realm, he being advertised of practices against him in England,
also that the count de Reulx projected some surprise of towns bordering on
his government. The ambassador could get no other answer. The said King
has sent a gentleman to advertise her that he intended to send his officers into
the county of St. Pol to administer justice and receive the revenue, requiring her
not to hinder them. Upon these demonstrations of war she has levied over
25,000 footmen and 4,000 horse, to furnish the frontiers and put an army in the
field,- and she hopes to resist the enemies, who threaten several places both by
sea and land. Has, by provision, broken several of their designs, and has
discovered several treasons to surprise certain towns. Bruxelles, 28 June 1542.

29 June. 21 [No. 439]. CHAPUYS to the QUEEN OF HUNGARY.
B. O. Has this instant received her letters of the 25th inst., and, as for
the occurrences of this Council, regrets that ho has been unable to write sooner,
not only because of the gout, which took him in the right hand in his return*
so that, until this morning, he coiild not hold the pen, but, chiefly, because
as yet nothing is resolved, the difficulty being that those here wish to add a
clause about the intercourse to the treaty of Oambray, which would tacitly
render the intercourse perpetual. Thinks they will not insist upon it (soy
arresteront for s'en arresteront ?) ; but in the article of rebels they will not
comprise subjects of the Empire. They insist that the aid defensive should be
given from the time of execution of the offensive league, and that it shall last
only four months each year. At the end of that time, if the requirant should
need men, he may use them at his expense, so long as the other prince does
not need them ; and they wish that the requirant may use them not only to
protect his country, but to pursue the enemy. They wish also that any prince
or potentate attempting to invade and harm the countries comprised in defence
shall be taken as a common enemy, and urge this article marvellously. She
knows its aim. They also insist that the time of the enterprise against the
French should be fixed, and at least before 1 July of next year. With regard
to aiding against the dukes of Cleves and Holstein, or at least not favouring
them, they will not capitulate particularly, saying that it will suffice if they
are held common enemies in case of their attempting anything against the
Emperor.
After much altercation and many devices on their part to draw Chapuys to
their view, using in this all bruits to the Emperor's disadvantage, and threatening
to break off without waiting for other answer from the Emperor, it was finally
devised between the deputies and him that the promise of the bill which he
showed her (to keep things secret and not treat to each other's prejudice), should
be prolonged to October, and that the King, upon Chapuys's assurance of the
Emperor's affection towards him, would send the bp. of Wasmaistre, one of the
deputies, to the Emperor to resolve the points in difference. To consider these
further before his departure, and to see what Chapuys would write to the
Emperor in favour of these affairs, the King prayed Chapuys to continue with
him (as he has done ever since his return from Flanders) until all is resolved.
This, he hopes, will be by to-morrow ; and the bp. will thereupon go to
embark 150 miles from hence, with one of Chapuys's men, who will carry her
packet, which he Las not yet been able to forward. It would be well if George
were to arrive (and if sure that he would not stay long Chapuys would procure
the bp.'s delay), and, if not, Chapuys's man, and a letter from the Admiral, will
help to provide passage for George. The King, at Chapuys's return, had granted
the defence for Spain as well as the Low Countries against the French and
the Sieur d'Allebret, but not against others ; and the article was couched in
English and afterwards in Latin ; but after four or five days all was changed.
At Chapuys's passing St. Homer, Mons. de Ruz said, in conversation (par
maniere de passer temps), that, with some Englishmen and the footmen and
horsemen who might be suddenly levied in Artois, it would be easy to surprise
Monstreul (to fortify which there would be leisure during th'e winter, when the
French would not care to besiege it) and afterwards Hesdin, Theroienne, and
Ardres must surrender, and Boulogne also. Repeated this to the King, who
liked it marvellously, and asked if Chapuys had any charge to treat for it, or
thought that De Ruz had. Answered no ; and advised him to despatch to the
Emperor, and meanwhile charge the captain of Guisnes to communicate with
Mons. de Reuz.

30 June. 22 [No. 441]. CHAPUYS to CHARLES V.
B. O. The bp. of Winchester being lately constrained, by the sweating sickness
(maladie du sieur, qu. de sueur?), to disperse his household and withdraw
near Chapuys's lodging, there was opportunity to do him some civilities.
On his arrival he came to dine with Chapuys ; and, from an early hour
until late, they conversed of public affairs, as of the Turk [and] the
detestable practices of the French, in connection with the closer amity
between the Emperor and this King, towards which the bp. seems
much inclined. Next day the bp. was invited to dinner with the lord
Privy Seal, and afterwards spent the rest of the day with Chapuys,
as well as the two following days. After the bp. had again spoken with the
lord Privy Seal, who showed a like inclination, they two, with Secretary Vrisle,
who is no less well inclined and has no less influence with the King, were of
opinion that Chapuys should take occasion to speak with the King (on the
plea that the deputies had not understood or not reported his offers), and repeat
his last persuasions, which would marvellously rebut the French practices and
advance those of the closer amity. They said that they would have the more
influence because of their recent services about the loan, which, by their industry,
had reached an inestimable amount. Finally, by their advice, Chapuys sent on
the 16th inst.* for audience, which was granted for the 18th, Ascension Day.
His man had just returned when Winchester sent him the Emperor's letters of
the 3rd inst.,* with the power therein mentioned, which Mr. Quenevet had for-
warded from Orleans, where he had stopped, upon pretext of illness, to await
the return of a man he sent hither, a month past, to spy how his business went
here and whether there was danger. After the receipt of the packet, which
arrived safe, the bp. came, and they had a long conversation about the persuasions
which Chapuys should use to the King. The bp's. advice was not to build upon
the necessity of the alliance to this King, but rather on the Emperor's supposition
that the King was actuated by a virtuous desire to remedy the dangers of
Christendom, due to the ambition and malignity of the King of France ; for
it would better become the bp. and the Councillors to represent its importance
to the King, who himself saw it. Followed this advice, although incidentally
obliged, sometimes, to represent the importance of the alliance to the King.
The said Ascension Day the King received him a little more cordially than
usual ; and, before going to mass, thanked him for his affection to the closer
amity and good offices, as last understood from the Privy Seal and Winchester,
and said he was glad that the power had arrived and that things should be
treated by Chapuys, to whom he could speak more confidently than to any
other ; but Chapuys must promise, for himself and the Emperor, that all
should be kept secret. Promised ; and 'the King said that he had remained in
neutrality hitherto, because there was no appearance that he might communicate
confidentially with either the Emperor or the King of France, between whom
there seemed to be a treatyf to reveal things to each other. On Chapuys's saying
that he knew of no such convention, and that, if any was, it must depend
upon the truce, which the French had so broken that the Emperor had cause
to distrust them and seek to compel them to leave Christendom and their
neighbours at rest ; and that the Emperor had always desired to preserve and
augment his alliances with him, and that, had he known the tenth part of
what he has since known of the deceit, wickedness and perfidy of the French,

22. CHAPUTS to CHARLES V. — cont.
Henry would have had no cause to complain of the Emperor's answer, when,
after the capture of Francis, he required the Emperor, by the treaties, to
continue the war ; and that there would be, ere long, as good an opportunity
of bringing Francis to reason as there was at the time of his capture, of which
Henry spoke. This the King took well, but, as it was time for mass, only
said that he wished to speak at length with Chapuys after dinner.
A little after dinner, the Privy Seal was sent to excuse his not being called
sooner, on the ground that letters had just come from France which the King
wished first to see, in order to communicate all to him, who wished to converse
with him alone, and would be found a la domesticque avec sa robe de nuyt.
Thereupon the Admiral conducted him to the King, who, after repeating what
the Privy Seal had said, gave the theme of his sermon in Latin, Judas non
dormit, and went on to say that the French were not asleep in their practices ;
they were expecting count William of Fustemberg, with 8,000 lansknechts, and
could, he knew, get as many men from Germany as they wished ; and, on
the other side, the sieur de Longheval, who will be Great Master of France,
was gone to the duke of Cleves to excuse the refusal to send him his wife,*
bring some men into Gueldres, and solicit a movement on that side ; the duke
of Holstein was arming against the Hollanders ; and the Low Countries ought
to be on their guard, especially touching Montoire castle, to surprise which
the French were only waiting until it should be further advanced ; the French
also continued their practices in Italy, especially with the Venetians (where they
had the Turk's assistance). In answer, Chapuys showed that things were much
less dangerous, especially if this closer amity was concluded, and that the King
need not fear, as he seemed to do, that, in trust of it, the Emperor had neglected
to preserve his other friends, for they were more numerous than ever, and this
amity would so increase them that the French would put water in their wine
and pay what they owed, or at least leave their neighbours in peace, so that
it would not cost the Emperor and him one penny to defend themselves. The
King then said that, to take a resolution, he should know what the Emperor
intended to do with Milan and Gueldres. Chapuys answered that he could not
tell about Milan, but as for Gueldres the Emperor could not give up the pursuit
of a thing which so greatly touched the honor both of the Empire and of himself
and the satisfaction of the Low Countries. The King answered that, considering
the difficulty of defending so many scattered countries, and the cost of keeping
one like Milan, he thought the Emperor would do well to treat with the states
of the Empire to incorporate it after his decease and meanwhile undertake its
defence ; and as to Gueldres, the country was too strong to conquer, especially
considering the hatred between Gueldrois and Braban9ons and the friendship
of the duke of Cleves in Germany (and in France if the marriage was achieved),
and the enterprise would hinder more important things, like the chasing of the
French out of Piedmont, so that his advice would be rather to gain the Duke
(now dissatisfied with the French and mistrusted by them) by giving him for
wife one of the Emperor's daughters, and granting him the duchy upon conditions
to be devised by the Queen in Flanders and the Duke's deputies. This would
gain the forces of Gueldres and the Duke's countries, and interrupt French
designs for this year ; and thereupon the Turk might quarrel with the French
king for not moving. Answered that there was no need of the said incorporation
to set the states of the Empire against Francis, even if the Turk should lose
a battle or be chased out of Hungary ; for Germany knew that he was the
whole cause of the descent of the Turk into Christendom, and consequently
of the cost of the present enterprise, and would unite with the Emperor and
the King, both to recover that cost and to clip his wings short for the future;
* Jeanne d'Albret.
HENRY VIII. 731

and on the same pretext most of Christendom might be set against France,
and it would be an honorable way for the Emperor and King to get redress
for their own wrongs ; the King must reflect that if the Emperor returned
into war with France it would be without hope of reconciliation, especially seeing
that Spain was said to have promised a marvellous aid if the Emperor would
remain there and promise not to make peace until Francis was so reduced as
to be unable to trouble Christendom. As to disposing of Milan, if this closer
amity were concluded, the Emperor would use the King's advice sooner than
that of any other, and he need not doubt, as he seemed to do, that the Emperor
would remain the friend of Francis if the latter should renounce pretensions to
Milan ; for Francis had done so several times, but there was in that nation
ny foy ny loy. As to Gueldres, he must not think the thing so impossible,
for the Duke would hardly find assistance in Germany when his predecessors,
both paternal arid maternal, ceded their interest in Gueldres to the House of
Burgundy, and promised to assist in its conquest and defence ; and the Duke
would be ill advised to risk the rest of his estate for Gueldres, which would
bring him in nothing ; and the Emperor might expect the King to assist him
in its conquest, as his father assisted Don Philippe;* and the conquest was easier
now when the Emperor had gained Gruningen and the rest which the late duke
of Gueldres held in Friesland, and also held Utrecht, Overissel and other neigh-
bouring places ; and if the Emperor enjoyed Gueldres, in the event of the said
confederation, the Low Countries would be safe from invasion by Francis and
the King exempt from contributing to their defence, and in the event of an
offensive league the matter of Gueldres would be easily ended. But the Emperor
would not put private interests before public ; it would be well to alienate the
Duke from France, but Chapuys did not think he wished such evil to his daughters
as to give one to the Duke, " lequel ne fauldra a patrizer ores que a ceste
heure pour estre comme en tutelle il ne se declaireroit encores du tout." No
one in Germany ever dared to pray the Emperor to cede his right in Gueldres
to the Duke, or indeed to grant investiture of Cleves and Juliers ; and the
princes who interceded for the Duke, on hearing the Emperor's title to Gueldres
and the injury which the Duke did him, protested that they would meddle no
further.
The King then spoke of being indemnified for his pensions, and Chapuys made
the representations heretofore made to his deputies, which he took in good part.
He complained that this practice had not been kept secret, for the French
spoke of it ; and Chapuys answered that that had not proceeded from the
Emperor, who was displeased because the French were using it to turn the
Pope against him. The King protested strongly that he had not revealed it,
and so urged secrecy as to remind Chapuys of the Florentine who caused the
usurers to be preached against in order that others might abstain from usury
and himself gain the more. Finally the King said that he would give a power
to the bps. of Durham, Winchester, and Westminster, and it would not be
his fault if affairs were not shortly expedited. So far he seems to proceed frankly,
one of the presumptions for which is that he spoke as wisely and earnestly
of the method by which the Emperor should govern the Low Countries, as if
the confederation was concluded. True, Chapuys had given him occasion by
praising his prudence and experience, and saying that when the closer intelligence
was concluded he should be like a father to the Emperor. This he took in
good part, as he did Chapuys's answer when he said that the French were
offering him a wife, viz., that they would do as they did when he was seeking
the present queen of Scotland, and that in marriage the French had dealt with
him a I" accoustume, especially in giving their daughter to the king of Scotland,
expressly contrary to the treaties, and in marrying the Dauphin so shamefully

23. CHAPUYS to CHARLES V. — cont.
to the niece of Pope Clement, whom he then held to be his greatest enemy,
and if they did such things to his face, they must have in secret planned terrible
devilries ; if it was in the Emperor's power to gratify him with a wife or
in any other thing, it would be done, and, although Chapuys might have to
blazon the arms of the French, he would not deny that the king of France and
the Dauphin are very affectionate, not towards him, but towards his country, " et
leur desplaisir (qu. desplaisit ?) bien qu'ilz ne fussent encoires plus nayfvement,
cest a dire qu'ilz ne joyssent du royaulme, et que ledit Daulphin par fois se
ventoit de le conquerre." -As to his saying that the French confessed his pensions
to be due, they would for very little confess a hundred times as much, to be
paid at the time when they intend to pay the rest. Thereupon the King said
that they really wished to pay him and had lately offered to do so with the
first places they should together gain from the Emperor. Thinks this was meant
to provoke Chapuys to make a similar offer, who said that, clearly, the French
were only seeking to amuse him and gain time, and, besides the injustice of
such a payment out of the goods of others against whom neither had any
quarrel, it was too difficult and uncertain, and he could far more easily recover
his own by joining the Emperor, as he had himself formerly confessed.
Doubting that the issue of affairs might be as hereafter appears, thought
best to write the above so amply. Since writing it, viz., from Saturday after
Ascension until Whitsun Eve,* the said deputies and he were almost continually
in communication. On Whitsun Eve the King sent for them all to Hampton
Court, where, for the Emperor's sake, Chapuys was very well received and
treated ; and after resuming the preceding communications, and debating for
four consecutive daysf with the aforesaid commissioners and the Privy Seal and
Secretary Vrisley, a summary of the articles debated was made ; and, as Chapuys
refused to pass two of them, viz., that of defence without the comprehension
of Spain and the aid which this King asked in case of invasion in some recompense
for the indemnity of his pension, which was formerly promised, it was devised
that Chapuys should write to or consult the Queen Regent, and, that there
might be no mistake, should write the articles and show them to the deputies,
together with what he should write to the Queen. This he granted, and hastily
drew up the articles and the letter,* of which the Emperor will have received
a copy from the Queen ; which the deputies thought very good, and still better
Chapuys's offer to go himself into Flanders if the King thought his presence
there necessary or useful. The King took this offer in good part, and instantly
sent to give Chapuys his litter and prepare a ship for his passage to Calais ;
of which voyage the Queen will have written.
At his return was no less well received than before, although the King showed
some little resentment at hearing that the Emperor kept an ambassador in France
and listened to divers practices, and indeed had made some overtures and offers ;
however, like a benign and prudent prince as he is, he was satisfied Avith
Chapuys's explanation. Afterwards, for eight or ten days, the deputies and
Chapuys were engaged on the specification of the matters contained in and
dependent upon the articles ; and, whether through not well understanding the
French language, or through having more ripely advised with the King and
others of the Council, they have put forward certain points and rebutted others
that were passed, viz., in the article of rebels they will not comprise subjects
of the Empire, and in the article of the treaty of Cambray Avhich speaks of
intercourse they wish to add a clause which seems to tend to the perpetuation
of the treaties of intercourse. A greater difficulty has been what they demand
by the sixth article, saying especially that true amity cannot be expected without
it and that it seems ridiculous to permit commerce and intercourse with enemies,
* May 20 to 27. t See No. 19 of this Appendix, f No. 19 of this Appendix.
HENEY VIII. 733
1542.
and that defence authoritative (which is to hold for enemy the enemies of the
friend), besides denoting closer union, will sooner keep the enemies from enter-
prising against either, for, this defence being so easy and costless, the enemies
will count upon it as they will not do on the other aid, which is not so prompt
and might be excused ; and the advantage would be on the Emperor's side, as
the King has fortified all his sea coasts, and neither Danes nor Easterlings nor
any other would dare to trouble the Emperor's countries, knowing that in that
case the King would be their enemy. On Chapuys suggesting that if that
matter was to be capitulated, article 24 of the treaty of Windsor must be
preserved, they answered that that article was too general, and was not reciprocal,
having been granted in contemplation of a marriage and promise of indemnity
of pensions and (a point which the deputies forgot, but which was touched upon
by the King before Chapuys's going into Flanders) the Emperor's promise not to
treat for peace with France until he (Henry) was crowned king there. Has
not dared to pass the obligation for defence during the league offensive, as it
might be an insupportable charge to the Emperor, and, if not complied with,
might cause rupture of the treaties. The King would have the duratior of
the defence four months, although Chapuys presses for five ; but in that there
need be no difficulty, as it is reciprocal. The English ask that men given for
the defence may be used to invade the retreating enemy, which is reciprocal ;
and that, after the four months, the requirant prince may, at his own expense,
retain the men granted for the defence as long as he needs them, which is
not reciprocal, presupposing that the Emperor would demand the aid in money,
which they would have cease at the end of the four months or upon the enemy's
retirement. They wished that the succour by sea should not be commutable
into money, or at least that the requirant should promise to employ it on the
sea, which Chapuys dared not grant, considering what he had said to the
Queen and the Council there, and that, if invaded from the side of Gueldres
or Friesland, the aid of ships would not be needed. One thing which almost
scandalised the English was that, although Chapuys was soliciting the league
offensive and invasion, he would not capitulate that it should be within a
year ; but that matter is so important that he refers it to the Emperor, as also
the terms of the summons of the king of France and the declaration of war.
They would neither promise to assist against the dukes of Cleves and Holstein
nor to abstain from favouring them, but held it sufficient that the dukes should
be common enemies if they invaded the Emperor's countries named for defence.
Omita 'the arguments of the deputies on the above articles, as the bp. of
Westminster will use them ; and also his own, because when Grandvelle is
present that would be trying to increase the sun's light with a candle. With
some difficulty persuaded the King to make the experiment of sending the said
bp., who is in favour and is also well inclined To this closer amity, for which
this now seems to be the time, and the Emperor should not be too scrupulous
upon the articles in variance, considering the King's nature, who if he devotes
himself to a person or an enterprise goes all lengths, and that when able to live
in peace with all his neighbours, he thus wittingly enters a labyrinth for the service
of God and repose of Christendom, and considering also the paternal affection
he bears to the Emperor, and that before the execution of the league offensive
there will be opportunity to reform the articles. All this people is most desirous
to enter war against France for the intelligence which the French have with the
Turk, besides their ancient enmity. Has concluded with the commissioners the
prolongation of not treating to each other's prejudice and of keeping affairs
secret, and also an act concerning navigation, as in documents herewith.*
Has left to the end what seems a bonne bouche to those here, viz., in returning
from Flanders, he found, at Sainct Homer, Mons. de Ruz, who chanced to say, in
* No. 440 (1, 2).
734 HENRY VIII.
1542.
32. CHAPUTS to CHARLES V. — cont.
conversation, that, with 4,000 Englishmen and the foot and horse whom he
could suddenly levy in Artois, he could take Monstruel (provided that the enter-
prise was made within two or three months), and in the winter there would be
leisure to finish its fortification; and, that gained, Hesdyn, Therouanne, Boul-
lougne, and Ardres must surrender for want of victuals. Thought fit to repeat
this to the King, who, after reflection, asked if he had power to treat such
a thing, or thought that the Queen or M. de Rouz had. Replied no ; and
advised his sending to the Emperor, and that meanwhile the captain of Guisnes
might communicate with Mons. de Ruz. Thinks that there is no better bait
than this to draw the King into perpetual war with France, and thus secure the
Emperor's frontiers, and he begs the Emperor to attend to it and gratify the
King as far as possible. Begs this for the Emperor's service, besides the hope
of the King's assistance against the Turk. It was not the Privy Seal's fault
that the King did not lately send the king of the Romans 50,000 ducats.
Considering that henceforth the way of France will be closed, and that, when
affairs are concluded, their Majesties should have almost daily news of each
other, the King sends with the bp. of Westminster a mariner to buy two savrez,
and expects the Emperor to keep two others always ready. This is very necessary
from what the Queen writes ; and in it and in equipping his ships the King
shows great vigilance ; who could not seem better disposed to make some enter-
prise, and Chapuys must repeat that now id the time to gain him.
Has received the Emperor's letters of the 10th inst. The French ambassador
has not been in Court since Holy Week. The receiver, De Neufzchastel, the
Admiral's servant, returned, brusquely despatched, without speaking to the King,
and there is no longer any question of the marriage. True, those here (for
their own profit) tell Chapuys that their ambassador in France has written that
the Admiral told him that, since these practices had not succeeded, he would
put forward others more agreeable. Hampton Court, 30 June 1542.
30 June. 23 [No. 442]. CHAPUYS to GRANVELLE.
R. O. Cannot too humbly thank Granvelle for continual care of his affairs, as
shown in letters of 3 May, and is grieved at the bp. of London's importunity,
both for the trouble it caused and for its leaving no tune to consider Chapuys's
affairs, who, without brief provision therein, will remain in shame and misery.
Expects, from what the Emperor has often said, to be, with Granvelle's assistance,
set right this time. Has been told by one of the Council that the bp. will
be henceforth more modest, taking example by the bp. of Westminster, who is
going thither, who is a sweet, honest, and modest person.
If the English were men who gave place to reason, affairs would have been
concluded here without further sending ; but, besides being naturally selfish,
the need which other princes have had of them has accustomed them to ask
almost carte blanche, and they do not forget to take advantage now of the
Emperor's necessity, which they often enriched by singing the designs of the
dukes of Cleves and Holstein, until Chapuys shut their mouths by telling one
of the chief of them, in confidence, that Cleves would willingly treat for Gueldres
if the Emperor would assist him against this King, and Holstein offered tresbon
party to the Emperor's nieces, and wished to transfer to them his titles and
claims upon this realm, with promise of great assistance for its conquest. In
truth they are not wrong in considering before implicating themselves with the
Emperor's dangerous affairs, which they could well do without, and there has
been no little artifice (mistere) needed to bring them so far. Chapuys forgot not to
magnify what the Emperor did for them by coming to this reconciliation and
closer amity, and, among innumerable instances of the ill will which the French
bore them, he gave out that the Dauphin had in private often said that he
HENEY VIII. 735
1542.
was this King's godson and son spiritual and meant to be his son temporal
and successor, so that the kings of France might henceforth entitle themselves
of England with as much reason as heretofore those of England [entitled them-
selves] of France, and that there was never King Henry in France that was
not King of England, and he was of no less stuff than the others. Granvelle
knows how important the English amity is, considering the perfidy and wickedness
of the French, who, in recompense for Granvelle's good offices to them, wished
to send him to the bottom. Will only say that if, as God forbid, this practice
is broken, it had been far better that it had never been begun ; for with this
King as enemy, ships passing between Flanders and Spain could not touch
on this coast, which is now so full of castles, bulwarks, and battlements.
Writes to the Emperor in favour of this amity more boldly, perhaps, than
he ought ; and he begs Granvelle to excuse him ; for, to gratify the King,
he has had to show the deputies what he was writing, and he was not moved
by anything he had of the King, who has never made him any present except
some artichokes, a deer (dain), and a great fish which had been given to the
King, and was, as he thinks, a dolphin. As an extremity of boldness, he
must say, as Don Inigo used to say, and as Mons. de Praet affirmed lately
before the Queen, that if the Emperor ever intends to profit by the English, he
must have some pensioners ; and he would for very little gain those in.
favour, who are already addicted to him, viz., the Privy Seal and Secretary
Vristle, and the two who depend upon these, viz., the Admiral and Grand
Esquire. Winchester would be content with the honor, and deserves something
from the Emperor, both for having commenced this affair and for his good will to
the Emperor and personal good qualities. Does not remind the Emperor about
the sending of a personage and letters. Has secretly copied the projected treaty
which those here wished to have ; which they have since changed in divers
places, as will be seen by that which Westminster carries. Sends it, together
with copy of the articles which had been devised and as it were concluded,
begging Granvelle to give no hint that he has it, but rather tell the ambassadors
that Chapuys has done marvels. Desires him to help in the case of the sabres.
Has striven in what concerns Cleves and Holstein with the same weapons as
the English used for the article of the rebels ; and has clearly learnt that this
King had, with both, confederation contrary to what Chapuys was urging.
The deputies think that the King would be gratified if the Emperor, in his
letters, omitted the title, bel oncle, saying that, even if the marriage had been
legitimate, the title ceased at the Queen's death ; and with better occasion they
might be gratified by not entitling Madame Marie as princess, since there is
a Prince held true and legitimate. The Queen Regent and those about her
thought that this might be granted.
Is sure that if the Emperor knew half the bodily and mental labour Chapuys
has had since Ascension Day, he would need no reminder to give a signal
reward. Begs Granvelle's intercession. It will be new to Granvelle to see
this despatch not written in Chapuys's hand, especially when the affairs are
so important. The cause is gout, which took him in the right hand on his
arrival from Flanders ; and, although now free from it, he dare not labour
too much. It not only stopped his right hand, but troubled his wit, as will be
apparent from the disorder of his despatch. Annoyance that affairs did not
succeed as he wished grieved him still more than the gout. Cannot exaggerate
the good opinion of Granvelle held by these councillors, who send cordial recom-
mendations, especially the Privy Seal and Wryseley ; not forgetting Winchester,
who has said that Granvelle ought to consider that there is no house, palace, or
city, however great, but its entrances are narrow, and that thus it seems to
be in this edifice of perpetual amity; but, when once the narrow entry is
passed, it will be found "ung aultre copie cornu." If affairs were prolonged and
a notable personage had to be sent from hence, it should be the said bp., who

R. O. Yesterday, soon after the bp. of Westminster and Chapuys's man left
to embark at Exceter, Chapuys took leave of the King, who thanked him for his
advancement of the practice, saying, among other things, that his Admiral
already had answer that the ship prepared for George's passage was ready to
sail. Does not know whether it will be swift, but hereafter better order will
be taken, as the King sends, with the bp., an expert man to buy in Spain a
couple of savrez or pinnaces, and expects the Emperor to keep other two ready.
The French ambassador's cousin returned the day before yesterday from the
French Court, only to charge the ambassador to espy why the King was so
diligently preparing his ships and to watch the ports. The wine is arrived
and presented, for which the King thanks her. The other day the King sent
him word, by vthe Privy Seal and Admiral, to warn her to see to the defence of
a certain isle* not very far from Anstredan and Encuse, against the duke of
Holstein. Sends her the article passed upon the affair of the Edict and Statute.
The other, touching keeping affairs secret and not treating to each other's pre-
judice before (dans) October, he has sent to 'the Emperor. London, 3 July 1542.

upon merchants' affairs. In the writing given him by the deputies, the words

9 July. 25 [No. 478]. CHAPUYS to CHARLES Y.
E. O. By his last, of the last of last month, wrote all occurrents ; and nothing
has happened since except that this after dinner he has been to present the
bearerf to this King, to deliver the Queen Regent's recommendations and remind
him touching the assistance against the Turk, in accordance with the king
of the Romans' letters, which Chapuys received two days ago. The King was
pleased with the Queen's sending to visit him and offering the services of this
bearer in Spain, and especially at the diligence used in Flanders to put all
things in order for defence and, upon occasion, offence, of which he had heard
otherwise ; saying that Vendosme and Du Biez were on their guard, and, although
their men were not assembled, they had a great number enrolled and had told
one of his captains of Calais that war had been published in Flanders against
the dukes of Holstein and Cleves. This, Chapuys said, did not seem likely.
As to the assistance against the Turk, the King would hardly listen to it.
Replied, to some of his excuses, that he should not complain that he had not
been sooner requested to do it like other princes, for if the States of the Empire
sent (as he affirmed) to the King of France, it was not for assistance, but to
summon him to attempt nothing during this enterprise, and the Duke of Cleves
was summoned as subject to contribute ; that at the conclusion of the Diet of
Spire he was not advertised of all that passed there was not the fault of the
king of the Romans, who had to leave in great haste for Tirolez, Bohemia,
Moravia, and other places, to provide for the war, and trusted to the saying
of Henry's ambassadors! at Rehimspurg that if other princes did their duty he
would not be behind them ; he could not be ignorant of the resolution taken at

Spire, and no prince able to assist had not determined to do so, except the king
of France, and although the Pope had not sent the men heretofore spoken of, he
would not fail to send either men or money ; there was no difficulty about exchange,
for Chapuys could in three hours find merchants, who would, within a month,
deliver it in Vienna or any other city of Germany. Although he had before told
Chapuys that he heard from notable personages, partial to the Emperor, that
it was not money that was wanted in Geimany, but men who were willing to
go, he did not insist therein, but said, apparently half converted, that he
would see about it. He said that the Turk would not come in person, but,
on Chapuys's showing the importance of chasing the Turk's men out of Hungary
and of passing forward, considering that the Empire's aid is for three years,
he only replied, in jest, that he thought there would be no more question of
the Turk, for the Pope would conclude peace between the Emperor and France,
and the Turk, at the intercession of his good ally, who has anew sent him
(or promised to send him) 24 galleys, would retire from Hungary and make
perpetual peace with Christendom. Chapuys answered that the money might be
advanced on condition of being repaid in such a case.
Told the King finally that he had as yet no answer from the Queen touching
De Roeulx's discourse to him on his return from Flanders, and that he understood
that she was writing of it to the Emperor. The King seemed pleased, saying
that it was a matter for haste, and after this year the time for it would be past.

R. O. Although he supposes that (upon the act signed by this King's deputies)
she will have provided that the King's subjects may lade their merchandise in
such ships as they please, still, because, among other messages &ent yesterday
by the Admiral, one was for Chapuys to write expressly for the said affair,
he begs her to see to it, — and the King merits this pleasure, were it only for
his continual praises of her during the past four days. She should charge
the master of the English nation (who will present this) to write forthwith to
this Council to provide reciprocally for the Emperor's subjects here. London,

16 July. 29 [Omitted]. CHAPUYS to tlie QUEEN OF HUNGARY.
Three days ago this King sent his Admiral with a map of Holland
to show the danger of the duke of Holstein's surprising the islands at the
mouth of the channel which goes to Amsterdam, called Flelande and Cessel,* that
he might write to her to put earthworks and artillery there. Thinks that the
King must have, long practised this matter, especially with the ministers of
the duke of Cleves when the alliance of Cleves was in question. He shows
great fear lest the duJce of Holstein's army may seize, some, important place, :
and because of that army he was in such haste that his subjects there might
lade in their own ships, inasmuch as they might -lose their merchandise if laden
in vessels " de de§a."
Has just received letters from the said Admiral, who writes to him to be,
without fail, to-morrow, with the King, who is 20 miles hence (to communicate
upon that affair and other news of importance), and to give out that he goes
thither about the merchants' affairs or some other pretext. Will not fail to
go, and to send her notice of all he can learn. Believes that at least he will
hear part of what the French ambassador went to Court yesterday to negociate,
although the English may disguise matters somewhat, as by saying that their
pensions are offered with advantageous, conditions, to make their case better.
She will have received his private letters about the affair of the navigation,
and also the others touching the pikes which this King has bought there, and
wishes to fetch hither. London, 16 July 1542.

As he wrote in his last, has been with this King, who declared the
importance of seeing to the defence of the two isles f- mentioned in his last,
confessing that at the time when he doubted that the Emperor wished to make
war on him he planned to surprise them and fortify himself there, from whence
the best and strongest port in his realm, named Ul, is within a day and a
night's sail ; and he was sure that Holstein had a design upon these isles, and
thereby would keep all Holland in subjection and have the assistance of the
duke of Cleves ; he would deliver (as he has just done) a map, to be forwarded
to the Queen on condition that it might be as soon as possible returned, and he
would never sleep easy until he knew that this necessity was provided for,
especially as he was told lately that Holstein said that, failing in his enterprise
against the Hollanders and the Emperor's countries, the King (who made good
cheer and doubted nothing) could pay the scot. Would that the Duke would
begin with an enterprise upon Ul, where, Chapuys thinks, he would be so received
that he would have no mind (pensement) to any enterprise for this time 1
As the King will not leave him at peace until he gives some news of the

provision for the said isles, he begs to know what to say. The King repeated
what the French ambassador last said to him, substantially as in the copy here-
with, save that he did not tell that his ambassador in France gave the occasion
for such compliments, and Chapuys gave no sign of it. He declared further that
the king of France had sent a secretary with a letter of credence, who had arrived
that very day, 16th inst., although two days before he had letters from his
ambassador of the said secretary's despatch, whose audience is deferred
until two days hence. Thinks this will not be well taken by the French, who
(as the King is advertised) intend, with the Turk's army by sea to attack
Catalonia, and at the same time to send an army by land towards Parpignan.
The King charged Chapuys to write this (without mentioning him) to the
Emperor and Grandvelle, but makes no great account of other enterprises, con-
sidering the advanced season, provided that" Holstein gets no place to winter
in. Sees no likelihood of assistance for the king of the Romans, against the
Turk, from this King, who has answered drily that money was not so easily
found as to be distributed there without re'ason ; and if the affairs between
the Emperor and him went forward, he would need all he had and the expense
would be no less meritorious than against the Turk. Seeing him thus resolved
Chapuys did not press him to answer the king of the Romans, so as to have
occasion to renew the subject. Besides former excuses, he said that he held
affairs of Hungary as despatched, since 4,000 Turkish horse which issued out of
Buda to skirmish had been defeated ; and, as he had news of this from France
itself, he gave it more faith. London, 19 July 1542.
20 July. 31 [No. 515]. CHAPUYS to CHARLES Y.
E. O. Nofc to delay the Queen Regent's packet herewith, just received, which
he understands to be in great haste, will only advertise that this King (doubting
the duke of Holstein's seizing some place in Holland, especially two isles at the
mouth of the channel of Anstredam called Flelant and Cassel), lately sent his
Admiral with a map of Holland to show Chapuys the importance of guarding
these isles ; and moreover, on the 14th, sent for Chapuys, and, after a long
discourse upon the importance of the isles, confessed (what Chapuys had already
suspected and written to the Queen) that, when he doubted assault from the
Emperor these years past, he himself planned to seize them, and could easily
have defended them through their nearness to Ul, the best and principal port
of this realm. He added that once master of them the Duke would have
the key of Holland and Friesland, especially with the aid of the duke of Cleves ;
and he himself did not want a neighbour like Holstein, who had some quarrel
with him and had said not long ago that if he failed upon Holland and the
Emperor's country, this King (who made good cheer and mistrusted nothing)
could pay the shot. He added that he would not rest until provision was
made ; and lent Chapuys the map to send to the Queen.
Two days before, the French ambassador had been with the King, who told
Chapuys the substance of the ambassador's speech, in conformity with the French
king's letter (copy herewith), without hinting that his own ambassador in France
opened the game and gave occasion for such compliments ; and Chapuys made
no sign that, he knew anything. The King also said that a servant of the king
of France had come with letters of credence, whose audience he had deferred
until the 21st. He told Chapuys nothing of the charge; but this morning
the friend* has sent the copy of the instruments sent herewith.
There is no likelihood of inducing this King to assist against the Turk ; for
he says that if the affairs begun between the Emperor and him take effect, he
will need all his money, and it will be as well employed as against the Turk.
In this connection he said that the French reckoned that their sea army would,

R. O. Wrote yesterday all occurrents here, and has this morning received hers
of the 16th, with a packet for Granvelle for the diligent forwarding of which
he will do all that is possible, but if George has sailed, as is probable, Chapuys
does not know how to send it, since she does not write that he is to send
an express (and a suitable one would be difficult to find, until the Emperor
has provided the sdbrez and appointed a person in Biscay to forward packets
to Court). Will for this time do his best, aided by letters and favour of the
Admiral. She will see by the copy herewith that the man* (in whose favour
the Emperor will have lately written to her) does not sleep. Begs her to
remember him. Also to let Chapuys know something of news and preparations
there, as a counterpoise to the French brags and a satisfaction to those here.
London, 20 July 1542.
25 July. 33 [No. 534]. The QUEEN OF HUNGARY to CHAPUYS.
B. O. Has been too busy to answer his letters of the 12th, 16th, 19th and
20th inst. ; for the king of France, without regard to the truce and without
defiance, has invaded her government from the side of Luxemburg, on the 14th,
and of Cleves, on the 15th, and she expects him to begin on the third side,
viz., Arthois and Base Flanders — and this notwithstanding his saying to the
ambassador Marvol, on the 12th, that he would attempt nothing against these
countries unless given occasion. He has sent the duke of Orleans with a good
army to Luxemburg, who has taken the little town of Dampvilles, which was
not tenable, and will take more ; for none of the towns there are guardable, and
she has only fortified two, viz., Theonville and Yvoix, which are well furnished
and will keep the French from profiting by the others they occupy. On the
side of Cleves the sieur de Longueval and Martin van Rossem, who calls himself
marshal of Gueldres, have entered and pillaged the country about Bos le Due,
without taking any place of importance ; for Hochstrate, which they have taken,
was rather a house of plaisance than a fortress. They brag of coming before
Antwerp, but she thinks they will be wiser. Hopes to repay them as soon
as she can assemble her forces. Chapuys is to feel whether the King could be
induced to send succour, by showing that if the French were masters of the
Low Countries they would not make much estimation of the English, and that
she would be the better able to resist if he would assist, especially on the side
of Arthois and Flanders. As an excuse for getting audience Chapuys may say
that she thanks the King for his charge about the islesf which the duke of
Holstein might occupy, and has provided therein by ordering ships of war to
be prepared and giving warning at the places necessary. Some days ago she
took a ship equipped for war by the duke of Holstein, which had come before
La Verre in Zealand to land men and spy, as had been done also at • (blank)
and Flissinge. The captain confessed that he was sent by the duke of Holstein
to spy these coasts, and that he had landed two men in Holland, and hoped
to do the like in Zealand, and afterwards go to England, to know if any
maritime preparations were made there, and then would pass to France to deliver
certain letters from the duke to the King, which he had thrown into the sea
when he saw that he would be taken. Presumes that he was to report in

France what he saw here and in England, and to conclude what his master's
ships of war should do. Will interrogate him more closely, and if she can
extort anything that concerns England she will write to Chapuys to advertise
the King of it. The revocation of the Edict was published here before the
receipt of Chapuys's letters of the 12th, presented on behaif of the Courtmaster
of the English merchants here, and the Courtmaster has written that he is
satisfied. If the king of France's secretary* holds to the King the language
contained in the copy of letters which Chapuys has sent, which conforms with
what he said to the Emperor's ambassador on the 12th, two days before he began
the war, viz., to keep amity unless given occasion to the contrary, the King
of England should not think himself so secure as she did. If the Emperor
send« any packets to her by way of England, she requires Chapuys to forward
them with diligence, as he has done those she sent to Spain. De Ma[lines?],

2 Aug. 34 [No. 562]. CHAPUYS to the QUEEN OF HUNGARY.
R. o. la pursuance of his last, of the 20th ult., he, immediately upon its
despatch, sent a servant and a courier to the King for a passport, and licence
to take horses by the way to overtake George, and also letters of favor to all
the ports. When the King had read her letters of the 17th ult. (which had
to be shown both for the above and for advertisement of what she had done
in the matter of navigation), he despatched at once, although it was midnight,
to the Admiral to provide for an express passage, knowing that George had
sailed with a good wind that very day. The lords of the Council were astonished
and half angry with Chapuys's man when he told them that he was not gone
thither to solicit an express passage, which they thought very requisite ; and
so Chapuys has had to do it, being inclined thereto by desire to send the
Emperor like copies to those he last sent her. One courier having failed him,
there only remained another to whom he had to give 40 ducats, besides the
expenses ; which will not be small ; for George's passage, going and returning,
cost 130 ducats and an angelot for every day beyond 20 days that the ship
(which is of 100 tons) waits in Spain.
On the 29th ult. received hers of the 25th, and (as ambassadors here do not
go to Court without first obtaining a day for audience), sent a servant to the
Admiral, who was mediator in the affair of the map which she has returned, and
of Chapuys's last journey to Court, and is also very friendly. Charged his servant
to declare the reasons for it (except the requisition of aid), lest the King, who
is now at pastime, might think him importunate. The Admiral, after consulting
the King, sent answer that, until some other occasion arose, there was no need
to take this trouble, and the King was glad that she had provided for the
isles, and he would sooner have done it at his own cost than leave them
in danger ; and that the King was in great fear for Antwerp until he heard that
she had caused the Duke and Princet to enter it. Touching the aid mentioned
in her letters, Chapuys's servant, as of himself, made representations to the
Admiral, who thought them urgent and reasonable, and offered to speak of them
to the King ; but made no answer therein. Yesterday, on receipt of letters
from Mons. du Roeulx, sent his said servant to Court to learn from the Admiral,
Privy Seal, and Wriothesley whether it would be possible to have some assistance
on the side of Base Flanders, which Vendosme was threatening. Will, in
default of that, suggest that the King might send two or three ships (of seven
or eight which he has ready), on pretext of defending the Englishmen's property
there, or at least of escorting the English merchant ships. Hereupon sent yester-
day for the Courtmaster, and gave him to understand that, probably, the Queen
would not let anything leave Antwerp, lest it should be captured on the sea

by the enemies, who after us will make war on them, and that he ought to
petition the King and Council to send the said ships and a good number of
men. This he promised to do ; and it seems the only means of getting aid
(before answer comes from Spain) without the French being able to speak
against it, for, once there, the ships could be used as though arrested by force.
Secretary Aubespine and the French ambassador went to the King, 25 miles
from here, and arrived there on the 20th ult., as appointed; nevertheless they
had ho audience until the 24th, and (as he learns, by the friend and otherwise)
it was very short and meagre, as on the previous day with the Council. The
rudeness and coldness shown them at this time is incredible, for they have not
been visited by the Councillors or any other gentlemen, and those who used
to bear them favour will not speak to them nor look at them. Still, the
ambassador has given out here that he was well treated in the Court, where
he did not stay a moment after he had spoken with the King ; and straightway
upon his arrival here he accompanied the said secretary by water 20 miles.
Thinks that this was only to see the preparation of the King's ships ; and he
told the secretary to certify in France that they will not be ready for two
months, although two of them left yesterday, and by the end of this week
the other five or six will sail. Mr. Huyet, who was ambassador with the
Emperor in Spain, and lastly at Ghent, is to be captain of this armada.
The man he sent to Court with De Roeulx's letter has just returned. The
letter protested desire to serve the King, as the Emperor had commanded, and
advertised the descent of Vendosme upon Artois, adding that, within a month,
the French would have spent their venom, and then if the King sent a good
number of men and some artillery, an important exploit might be made. His
man brought word from the Privy Seal that the King was pleased with the
affection shown him by De Roeulx, and thought that the Emperor's strongholds
about Arthois were well provided for, and his own were in good order, and
yet men, artillery, and munitions are daily sent (as is true) ; that all depended
upon the answer received by their bishop* in Spain, which could not be long,
and then would be the time to speak of aid ; and that, if the necessity was
urgent, Chapuys should write to the King requiring it under the treaty of
Cambray, and he (the Privy Seal) and others would do their best. The Privy
Seal and Admiral had little leisure to talk with Chapuys's man, being, with
the rest of the Council, very busy with an ambassador of Scotland,t who is come
hither about certain reciprocal forays lately made upon the frontier, even while
the deputies of both sides were together to redress the griefs, wrongs and
damages of the previous forays. Those here have no doubt but that this last
skirmish on the side of Scotland has been instigated by the French. Although,
several days befora the Privy Seal advised it, Chapuys thought that it would be
well to have aid of the English, especially for the reputation [of it], he will
not make the request until she commands it ; and will desist from asking succour
for Antwerp, since the enemies are sent away. To-day or to-morrow will be
made the proclamation of the revocation of the statute upon the lading of ships.
Has made no great instance for it, considering that now it would safer to lade
in English ships.
Forgot to say that the English show no such great fear of the armada of
Denmark as they did, being advertised (as the Admiral says) that the duke
of Holstein has only six or seven ships, scarcely in order, and seems to keep
them to guard his own country. Of this the Queen will have been advertised
by the captain^ who is prisoner. Has deferred writing to her, as he expected
something from Spain ; but here is neither letter nor news from thence. London,

E. O. Since writing on the 25th ult., has received his letters of the 2nd and

him. Thinks his answer good. Although the King wishes to temporise until
he has news of what the bp. of Winchester (sic, for Westminster) has done in
Spain, necessity has decided her to send to him to require assistance without
delay, seeing that the French, from all sides, are doing their utmost against her.

28 (See also No. 222). A list of knights
and burgesses returned to this
Parliament is given in the Returns
of Members of Parliament, Part
I., p. 372^ appx. xxix., but it is
very defective.
71 (29 p. 31, col. 1, last line but one, and
col. 2, 1. 47). For "Clene" read'
"Cleve."
124, 11. 11, 12. The sentence should read :
"His informant may be wrong
about this, as well as about the
powers which he said the [French]
King had sent to his ambassador."
125, 1. 9, " to collect the money aid." In
the orig., "to give effect to the
resistance."
148, 11. 17-19. The sentence "Thinks that
— four months" should be altered
thus: "Thinks that in two days
they might have done as much
with the ambassador as they have
done ifi four months."
171. The dates at the end of the letter
and P.S. both give the year
" 1541 " (according to the oldi
computation), not "l£42."
197, 1. 1. Strike out " on the 5th."
197, 1. 9. For "All Souls" reaft "All
Saints."
219, margin. Supply "R. 0."
226, 1. 1. After "22nd" insert "Feb."
267, p. 147, 1. 13. A modern copy of
these catalogues is in B. M., Add.
MS. 25,469.
278 (2). The copy from Vienna is dated
Montreal, 28 April, and the
passage in cipher (represented by
the italics1) is a postscript.
280. A passage at the end might be more
fully given thus : " Wonders why
the King borrows so large a sum
after all his confiscations of Church
goods, &c. Not a penny will re-
main out of his hands ; whereas
he ought, they say, to lend to
encourage merchandize."
283 (41), 1. 5. Add "Pat., 34 Hen.
VIII., p. 10, m. 27."
291 (3). A modern transcript is in B. M.,
Add. MS. 28,173, f. 287.
292, p. 172, 1. 1. After "Emperor's"
insert comma ; and for " party "
read "partly."
302 (p. 180), heading. For "320" read
" 302." And in margin supply
"R. 0."
No.
309, 1. 19. "Decipher" should be "put
into cipher."
339, 1. 1. "With one." Should be "with
copy of the letters."
339, 1. 3. " They shall be sent." Should
be "he may refer to her."
359, margin. For " 13 May " read " 31
May."
394, 11. 6-8. " Has no doubt>— Charles.
What the original says is that the
Emperor also recommends the case
of the man's mother to the Queen
of Hungary, and that the bp. of
Arras has promised the next pre-
bend for the man's brother.
443 (50), 1. 8. Add "Del Westm., 20
[June], 34 Hen. VIII., S.B. (signed
by Bp. Roland Lee and Nic.
Hare)"
484, 1. 1. The reading should be:— "On
Friday, the 7th, George arrived,
and after perusing the three
letters."
519 (2). This paper is described in the
Spanish Calendar (Vol. VI., Pt.
ii., No. 144) from a Vienna MS.,
and the articles which it answers
are also there described (No. 143).
Transcripts of both MSS. are now
in R.O.
567, 1. 2. "Vargelay" in the date is
evidently a transcriber's error for
"d'Argely."
580, last line. Insert "In Gardiner's
hand."
586, p. 335, I. 4, from bottom. For " 42 "
read "40 or 50."
597, 11. 4, 5. For " to that country " read
" in that quarter."
600, margin. Supply R.O.
604, last line. Insert "French."
616, lines 20 to 28. Strike out the passage
within brackets, and substitute for
it: — "The ambassadors were told
that the articles promising defence
against all persons were not toler-
able (reasons given) in that they
were manifestly intended to include
the Pope. The ambassadors re-
plied that the articles containing
that clause were in the treaty of
Cambray, and that out of regard
for the Emperor the King had con-
sented to the Pope not being
expressly mentioned. They were
answered that when the treaty of
Cambray was made there were no
difficulties between the Pope and

the King, and the then Pope
(Clement VII.) was expressly com-
prised in it ; the King might
trust," etc. Strike out also the
footnote, as the missing leaf has
been found.
616 (p. 352), last line. For "27" read
"29."
634. Omit on line 19 the words " in
his letter of the 9th," and add
on line 23, after " completed,"
" Will send power to De Roeulx to
treat with the captain of Guisnes,
if the captain has like power from
the King."
694, 1. 1. For "York" read "Canter-
bury. "
714 (19), end. Add "Pat., p. 1, m. 15."

Subsequent to recommendations of Committees of the House of
Commons in 1800 and 1836, the Master of the Rolls, in 1865, stated to
the Lords of the Treasury that although " the Records, State Papers,
" and Documents in his charge constitute the most complete and perfect
"series of their kind in the civilized world," and although "they are
" of the greatest value in a historical and constitutional point of view, yet
" they are comparatively useless to the public, from the want of proper
"Calendars and Indexes." Whereupon their Lordships assented to the
necessity of having Calendars prepared and printed, and empowered the
Master of the Rolls to take such steps as might be necessary for this
purpose.
The following Works have been already published in this Series : —

F. C. HINGESTON, M.A. 1858.
Capgrave's Chronicle extends from the creation of the world to the year 1417. Being
written in English, it is of value as a record of the language spoken in Norfolk.
2. CHRONICON MONASTBRII DE ABINGDON. Vols. I. and II. Edited by the
Rev. JOSEPH STEPHENSON, M.A., Vicar of Leighton Buzzard. 1858.
This Chronicle traces the history of the monastery from its foundation by King Ina of

College, Cambridge. 1858.
The first is a poem in French, probably written in 1245. The second is an
anonymous poem, written between-1440 and 1450, which is mainly valuable as a specimen of
the Latin poetry of the time. The third, also by ao anonymous author, was apparently
written between 1066 and 1074.

This is a metrical translation of a Latin Prose Chronicle, written in the first half of the
16th century. The narrative begins with the earliest legends and ends with the death of
James I. of Scotland, and the "evil ending of the traitors that slew him." The peculiarities
of the Scottish dialect are well illustrated in this version.
7. JOHANNIS CAPGRAVE LIBER DE ILLUSTRIBUS HENRICIS. Edited by the
Rev. F. C. HINGESTON, M.A. 1858.
The first part relates only to the history of the Empire from the election of Henry I. the

English history, from the accession of Henry I. in 1100, to 1446, which was the twenty-fourth

in the early part of the 14th century during the reign of Edward II. It also gives an

Edited by HENRY THOMAS RILEY, M.A., Barrister -at-Law. 1863-1876.
In the first two volumes is a History of England, from the death of Henry III. to the
death of Henry V., by Thomas Walsingham, Precentor of St. Albans.
In the 3rd volume is a Chronicle of English History, attributed to William Rishanger,
who lived in the reign of Edward I. : an account of transactions attending the award of the
kingdom of Scotland to John Balliol, 1291-1292, also attributed to William Rishanger, but on
no sufficient ground : a short Chronicle of English History, 1292 to 1300, by an unknown hand :
a short Chronicle, Willelmi Rishanger Gesta Edwardi Primi, Regis Anglias, probably by the
same hand : and fragments of three Chronicles of English History, 1285 to 1307.
In the 4th volume is a Chronicle of English History, 1259 to 1296 : Annals of Edward II.,
1307 to 1323, by John de Trokelowe, a monk of St. Albans, and a continuation of Trokelowe's
Annals, 1323, 1324, by Henry de Blaneforde : a full Chronicle of English History, 1392 to 1406,
and an account of the benefactors of St. Albans, written in the early part of the 15th century.
The 5th, 6th, and 7th volumes contain a history of the Abbots of St. Albans, 793 to 1411
mainly compiled by Thomas Walsingham, with a Continuation.
The 8th and 9th volumes, in continuation of the Annals, contain a Chronicle probably of
John Amundesham, a monk of St. Albans.
The 10th and llth volumes relate especially to the acts and proceedings of Abbots
Whethamstede, Albon, and Wallingford.
The 12th volume contains a compendious History of England to the reign of Henry V.
and of Normandy in early times, also by Thomas Walsingham, and dedicated to Henry V.
29. CHRONICON ABBATIS EVESHAMENSIS, AUCTORIBUS DOMINICO PRIORE

ANNUM 1213, UNA CUM CONTINUATIONS AD ANNUM 1418. Edited by
the Rev. W. D. MACRAY, Bodleian Library, Oxford. 1863.
The Chronicle of Evesham illustrates the history of that important monastery from
690 to 1418. Its chief feature is an autobiography, which makes us acquainted with the
inner daily life of a great abbey. Interspersed are many notices of general, personal, and
local history.

Richard of Cirenoester's history is in four books, and gives many charters in favoui of
Westminster Abbey, and a very full account of the lives and miracles of the saints

Convent of Christ Church, Canterbury ; 1187 to 1199.
Edited by the Rev. WILLIAM STUBBS, M.A., Vicar of Navestock, Essex,
and Lambeth Librarian. 1864-1865.
The authorship of the Chronicle in Vol. I., hitherto ascribed to Geoffrey Vinesauf, is now
more correctly ascribed to Richard, Canon of the Holy Trinity of London.
The letters in Vol. II., written between 1187 and 1199, had their origin in a dispute which
arose from the attempts of Baldwin and Hubert, archbishops of Canterbury, to found a
college of secular canons, a project which gave great umbrage to the monks of Canterbury.

RAWSON LUMBY, D.D., Norrisian Professor of Divinity, Vicar of St.
Edward's, Fellow of St. Catharine's College, and late Fellow of
Magdalene College, Cambridge. 1865-1886.
This chronicle begins with the Creation, and is brought down to the reign of Edward III.
The two English translations, which are printed with the original Latin, afford interest-
ing illustrations of the gradual change of our language, for one was made in the fourteenth
century, the other in the fifteenth.

43. CHRONICA MONASTERII DE MELSA AB ANNO 1150 USQUE AD ANNUM 1406,

the British Museum. 1866-1869.
45. LIBER MONASTERII DE HYDA : A CHRONICLE AND CHARTULARY OF HYDE
ABBEY, WINCHESTER, 455-1023. Edited by EDWARD EDWARDS. 1866.
The "Book of Hyde" is a compilation from much earlier sources, which are usually
indicated with considerable care and precision. In many cases, however, the Hyde
Chronicler appears to correct, to qualify, or to amplify the statements which, in substance,
he adopts.
There is to be found, in the " Book of Hyde," much information relating to the reign of
King Alfred which is not known to exist elsewhere. The volume contains some curious
specimens of Anglo-Saxon and mediaeval English.
46. CHRONICON SCOTORUM. A CHRONICLE OF IRISH AFFAIRS, from the
earliest times to 1135 ; and SUPPLEMENT, containing the events from
1141 to 1150. Edited, with Translation, by WILLIAM MAUNSELL
HENNESSY, M.R.I.A. 1866.
47. THE CHRONICLE OF PIERRE DE LANGTOFT, IN FRENCH VERSE, FROM THE
EARLIEST PERIOD TO THE DEATH OF EDWARD I. Vols. I. and II. Edited
by THOMAS WRIGHT, M.A. 1866-1868.
It is probable that Pierre de Langtoft was a canon of Bridlington, in Yorkshire, and
lived in the reign of Edward I., and during a portion of the reign of Edward II. This
chronicle is divided into three parts; in the first, is an abridgment of Geoffrey of Monmouth's
" Historia Britonum " ; in the second, a history of the Anglo-Saxon and Norman kings, to the
death of Henry III. ; in the third, a history of the reign of Edward I. The language is a
specimen of the French of Yorkshire.
48. THE WAR OF THE GAEDHIL WITH THE GAILL, or THE INVASIONS OF

61. CHRONICA MAGISTRI ROGERI DE HOUEDENE. Vols. I. -IV. Edited by
the Rev. WILLIAM STUBBS, M.A., Regius Professor of Modern History
and Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford. 1868-1871.
The earlier portion, extending from 732 to 1148, appears to be a copy of a compilation
made in Northumbria about 1161, to which Hoveden added little. From 1148 to 1169— a very
valuable portion of this work — the matter is derived from another source, to which Hoveden
appears to have supplied little. From 1170 to 1192 is the portion which corresponds to some
extent with the Chronicle known under the name of Benedict of Peterborough (see No. 49)
From 1192 to 1201 may be said to be wholly Hoveden's work.

WOEKS PUBLISHED IN PHOTOZINCOGEAPHY.
DOMESDAY BOOK, or the GREAT SURVEY OF ENGLAND OF WILLIAM THE
CONQUEROR, 1086; fac-simile of the Part relating to each county,
separately (with a few exceptions of double counties). Photozinco-
graphed at the Ordnance Survey Office, Southampton, by Colonel
Sir HENRY JAMES, R.E., F.R.S., DIKECTO-R-GENERAL of the ORDNANCE
SURVEY, under the superintendence of W. BASEVI SANDERS, an
Assistant Record Keeper. 35 Parts, imperial quarto and demy quarto
(1861-1863), boards.
Domesday Survey is in two parts or volumes. The first, in folio, con-
tains the counties of Bedford, Berks, Bucks, Cambridge, Chester, and
Lancaster, Cornwall, Derby, Devon, Dorset, Gloucester, Hants, Hereford,
Herts, Huntingdon, Kent, Leicester and Rutland, Lincoln, Middlesex,
Northampton, Nottingham, Oxford, Salop, Somerset, Stafford, Surrey,
Sussex, Warwick, Wilts, Worcester, and York. The second volume, in
quarto, contains the counties of Essex, Norfolk, and Suffolk.
Domesday Book was printed verbatim et literatim during the last
century, in consequence of an address of the House of Lords to King
George III. in 1767. It was not, however, commenced until 1773,
and was completed early in 1783. In 1860, Her Majesty's Govern-
ment, with the concurrence of the Master of the Rolls, determined to
apply the art of photozincography in the production of a fac-simile of
Domesday Book.

This work forms a comprehensive Palseographic Series for Ireland.
It furnishes characteristic specimens of the documents which have
come down from each of the classes which, in past ages, formed
principal elements in the population of Ireland, or exercised an In-
fluence in her affairs. With these reproductions are combined fac-
similes of writings connected with eminent personages or transactions
of importance in the annals of the country to the early part of the
eighteenth century.
The specimens have been reproduced as nearly as possible in accord-
ance with the originals, in dimensions, colouring, and general
appearance. Characteristic examples of styles of writing and cali-
graphic ornamentation are, as far as practicable, associated with
subjects of historic and linguistic interest. Descriptions of the
various manuscripts are given by the Editor in the Introduction.
The contents of the specimens are fully elucidated and printed in the
original languages, opposite to the Fac-similes — line for line — without
contractions — thus facilitating reference and aiding effectively those
interested in palseographic studies.
In the work are also printed in full, for the first time, many
original and important historical documents.
Part I. commences with the earliest Irish MSS. extant.
Part II. : From the Twelfth Century to A.D. 1299.
Part III. : From A.D. 1300 to end of reign of Henry VIII.
Part IV. 1 : From reign of Edward VI. to that of James I.
In part IV. 2 the work is carried down to the early part of the
eighteenth century, with Index to the entire publication.
