The Defence of the Frontiers. |
|
[1580–1.] |
An Act for the defence of the Frontiers; matters
"to be added to the recital." |
|
These additions are for remedying the action of landlords
and others, being farmers as well to the Queen as to other
lords and owners, who have for their private gain decayed
divers tenements and habitations, and in some places whole
townships, reducing the same to one farm or pasturing of sheep
and cattle, and have let their lands to Scottishmen and not
to Englishmen, thereby diminishing the natural strength
of the country.—Undated.

1580–1, Feb. 27. |
Understanding that the Oconnors were
combined with most of the chief captains of countries betwixt
Dublin and Connaught in a great conspiracy, thought it
behoveful to take a journey into those parts. So coming
unto the fort of Philipston, the chief strength of Offalay, he
caused a session to be held there for trial of such malefactors
as were proved to have committed open spoils and outrages
to the general disquiet of all those borders. Therein was
found guilty one Heugh Omoloy, a chief man of his name,
and a famous thief and traitor, besides certain others, whereof
some he executed for ensample of the rest. Of others he
took pledges and assurance for their good behaviour and
appearance from time to time. Then having given further
order for the taking in of the Occonors, he passed into the
Magoghegans country, where he found nought but empty
towns, all the inhabitants being fled either for fear of their guilty
consciences, or misled by Bryan Magoghegan, he which
murdered his brother. Caused proclamation to be made that
whoso would not be reputed as a traitor, and hazard his life
and goods, should return again to his dwelling within one
day's respite, the which in the most part took good effect,
but the principals continued their obstinacy, and now remain
still in state of open rebels. Thence he passed to Magoghlan's
country, whom, perceiving not to have entered so far into
the confederacy as the rest, he received into favour, taking
of him pledges as seemed sufficient. Thither came unto
him Ocaroll, whose deep disloyalty being found by examination
he stayed him with him and with some others of the same
faction brought along with him to Dublin. On his return,
word was brought that Tirlagh Lennagh was coming down
to the Black Water, under colour of parley for certain wrongs
concerning private parties, but with such numbers and in
such manner that it seemed his only meaning was to trouble
and infest the English pale, and to impeach her Majesty's
proceedings against the other rebels, for repressing of whom,
as in his letters to the Council, he craves that further supply
may be sent over, both of men and of treasure, which begins
to grow very low.—Dublin, 27 February, 1580. |

(P.S.)—Prays that Burghley's wonted care be given to

at the ministers of the victuals, whose small care and unjustness is manifestly felt and seen.

The Vice-Chancellor and Senate of Cambridge to Lord
Burghley. |
|
1581, June 2. |
As soon as they understood that the
contumacy "Parisiorum Chestertonensium" had been broken
down by his authority the Senate took counsel to offer their
fullest thanks; they could desire nothing better than the
method and speed with which the matter was accomplished,
which is attributable to Burghley. They only asked him to
take cognisance of the Chesterton cause and to order himself
what was best for the University, and with incredible speed
the whole controversy was adjudged, the insolence of the
turbulent men being extinguished rather than suppressed:
the inquiry into the cause having been commended to the
Chief Justice and the Attorney General. So not only the
late dishonesty of the Parisians has been sharply judged
but all hope of future strife removed.—Cantabrigiæ, e Senatu

Disclaims any intention to forbid English
merchants to trade in his dominions on the ground that
privileges enjoyed for some centuries by the Hanse Towns
had been unjustly overthrown. Heard a year and a half
ago that certain English merchants in London had formed
themselves into a company and secured a monopoly of the
cloth trade in London, with the result that the price of
the cloths in Germany had been immensely increased. If the
Hanse Towns refer the matter to the Emperor and the Estates
of the Empire, it shall be equitably settled.—Dresden,

The Emperor Rudolph II to the Queen. |
|
1581, June 28. |
I hear by your letter of April 5 last with
its annexed petition of the disputes which have been going
on for some years between you and the Hansa Towns. I
cannot deny that since my accession many complaints have
been made to me by the said Towns and also by other towns
and states in the Empire. At the beginning of this very
year, representatives of the Hansa came to me and complained
that their privileges, obtained from your predecessors at
great cost and toil, had been infringed and overthrown at
the suggestion of persons more zealous of their private
interests than of the common weal, and that there had been
excessive taxation and interference with their people residing
in England. |
|
It was my duty to find remedy for my subjects in these
things, but being persuaded of your good will to my Empire,
I decided to take no steps before advising you and others
apparently concerned and before making inquiry into certain
other questions arising out of the said disputes. I therefore
informed you of these complaints by my personal letter
delivered to the said representatives and exhorted you in
brotherly way as you will see by the copy annexed to this.
I have therefore done the very thing you now ask of me and
will always freely do what may be proposed in this behalf
by the States of the Empire or the Hansa Towns. I am
therefore persuaded by the zeal you have hitherto shewn
towards me and the Empire that you will readily accede to
my petition and take steps that the privileges and liberties
obtained by the Hansa merchants in your realm may be
protected and not overthrown for the sake of the private
gains of any private persons.—"Datum in arce nostra Pragæ,
28 June, 1581."

Thanks her for her son's reply which the
Queen has been pleased to send her. Is assured of his good
inclination towards Elizabeth and his devotion to herself, as
the Queen will see by his letter to Mary which she sends by
Mauvissière. The Queen taking into consideration his tender
age will receive what he has sent as the beginning only of a
more solid friendship. Protests that she has done what lies
in her and the success which a simple letter has brought about
sufficiently discharges her. Leaves it to the Queen to make
use of the means she has proposed to her.—Sheffield, 14 July,

Without his lordship's help, he can
neither hope nor look for remedy, so long as his friends will
suffer him to pine in this solitary seat. The Queen says
little, but when his liberty is spoken of, begins to speak of
trial face to face, as if that should have been to do if he were
in fault. His humble suit is that he may not be suspended,
but that after seven months imprisonment, may either be
tried before equal judges, or enlarged, with an end of misery,
which being done his lordship may do him the greatest favour
to procure his banishment out of the realm. His hap is harder
than ever was any second brothers of his house. This

I can never discharge except by my desire ever to do her
service. I am happy at finding myself so near your route
that you can see me without loss of much time. I beg that
this may take place at Tartenois where I shall be sleeping

to be now absent, addresses to Burghley such letters as the
affairs of Ireland require to be sent to the Queen and the
rest of the Lords. Desires speedy resolution in the things he
has commended to her Highness and their Lordship's
considerations.
Thanks him for his favour in the matter of the wardship
of young Gostwick. |

John Zowtche has of late again done a good service in his
quarter. That Burghley may the better be acquainted with
the state of his government, sends herewith the copy of certain
articles agreed on betwixt him and Lord McMorris, received
but yesterday from him. That country by this seems
brought to good stay, in case the luckless accident signified
in their Lordships' letter alter not the same. Prays therefore
Burghley's commendation of Zowtche where it may best
avail. |

Commends the suit of Captain G. Carew, whom he thinks
to be the bearer of this letter, that the Queen will take into
her own hands Lawghlen Castle and lands belonging thereto,
which he is possessed of by his late brother's death, and give
him in exchange land in England to the value of the same
rent, as he cannot reap the due benefit of the said castle,
by reason that the Cavenaghes will not suffer but forcibly
any English man to have land or jurisdiction there. The
place is the key and thoroughfare from these parts into Munster,
and must bridle and command the sept of the Cavenaghes.
It would quiet them moreover to find themselves tenants
and at commandment only to the Queen. |

packing other baggage with the trunks in which the money
is. In this way, under colour of a pretended enterprise,
