2106. Sir William Drury to Cecil. |

The Hamiltons hold out still, and Dumbarton will not be
rendered. The Regent's contraries have long been fed with
the coming of a power out of France. Argyll is fairer
spoken unto than trusted. The Queen has declared unto
George Douglas's mother of her having moved and broken
with the Regent for to marry with him, and of his unwillingness unto the same, with these words and such like, "You may
see what a kind brother he hath of him." Notwithstanding he
was forbidden to remain there, yet it is thought that he has
disguisedly secret recourse thither, and the affection great.
The Queen's liberty, by favour, force, or stealth, is shortly
looked for. Certain Scotchmen now come from France affirm
that they were dealt with by the Duke of Chatelherault to
take wages of him, and show some cause. For his proportion
of stone from hence Cecil need have no further care.—Berwick,

The Queen perceiving how the Commissioners for the Prince
had to heart their indirect dealing and minding by all means
to appease the matter, at the Duke Montmorency's earnest
request the next day the Cardinal Chatillon and Counts
Rochefoucault and Bouchevannes were appointed to stay at a
monastery of Observants in the suburbs, whither the King and
Queen went to them, and gave them all the good entertainment that might be wished, and had talk with them for the
space of three hours, which done they returned again to Longjumeau. This delay has been to the great advantage of the
religion.—Paris, 3 April 1568. Signed.

Has received her letter of the 24th February, but has not yet
been able to procure audience. After five days the King sent
him word that he should first talk with Ruy Gomez, who dealt
very cunningly with him. Refused to open to him the charge
given to him to say to the King. Is credibly informed that the
King will in no case hear of her request touching her ambassador's privilege in liberty of religion. A very great councillor
said that he marvelled that she was not content with the order
which her predecessors have been contented with, and that she
meant thereby to introduce schism into Spain; and further,
that the King cannot grant her request if he would, for that
he is subject, as the rest of Spain, to the Holy Inquisition, and
sticks not to say that she seeks hereby to break off the amity
with the King. The matter is so bruited in the Court, and
written to divers parts, that it now touches her in honour not
to pass it over, but rather to reduce the service of her ambassador to that place whereunto it was first meant, it being
of few years continuance that there has been any English
Ambassador resident in the Court of Spain, most of them
residing in the territories of the House of Burgundy.—

1. Informs her of the intent to break off the peace. On the
5th was the Edict of Pacification published and put forth in
print, which he sends herewith. There are great diversities
of humour about the same. Is informed that France
eschewing one danger is ready to be threatened with a
greater, viz., the King having given his brother all the
authority that he possibly might, and having no degree
whereunto he might aspire but the highest, has shown some
tokens of an ambitious heart; for of late suspected Protestant
he has now become a sworn Catholic, and is drawn by them
in all his proceedings, disdaining all things his brother does.
And the King very courteously entertaining the Cardinal
Chatillon and the Count Rochefoucault at their late being
here, and talked very gently with Brocarde, the governor of
Orleans during these troubles for the Prince of Conde, he
seemed marvellously to stomach the matter, saying that they
had deserved no such favour at the King's hands, which
words have already bred some jealously between the brethren.
The Queen it is suspected animates M. D'Anjou, hoping if the
one fails her to stay upon the other. She has of late shown
great signs of grief, which have arisen upon a certain letter
written by the King Catholic to the King wherein he declares
that he is glad that he has appeased these civil wars, and
counsels him hereafter to take the government in his own
hands. |
|
2. Has been required by the Cardinal of Chatillon to give
the Queen in all their companions' behalf their most humble
thanks for her aid and favour shown to them in the last
troubles afore this; desiring her not to take it in ill part
that they had not made her privy to these proceedings, the
occasion being that they were so suddenly taken. He was
further required to advertise her that the storm which of late
was here is likely to fall in Flanders; and also that there
were secret articles sworn between the King and his council
and the Prince of Conde and his company. The King sending
the Edict of Pacification to be proclaimed in Rouen, the
magistrates were assailed with a furious multitude and forced
to fly; which done they spoiled divers whom they esteemed
to be of the religion and slew also of them; the like has
happened at Bourges, where the Catholics have slain divers
Protestants that were kept in prison. The country is so full
of soldiers that it is more perilous travelling now than during
the wars.—Paris, 8 April 1568. Signed. |

On the 7th the "Jussion" was subscribed by the King, but
is now written over again. They slay daily at the ports of
this town both women and others who retire themselves home
again to their houses. Their camp "scales" not, but the
Prince's does, wherewith many are not content. Captain
Charles commends him right heartily to Cockburn, and would
fain have him here and so would all the archers, who say that
if he had been here perchance the other side had not been
broken. Charles swears, par la mort et par le chair, if he
were at home again and there be no minister near him, he
will rather send to Geneva for one to preach in his barony, and

1. Because he cannot by his mute letters comprehend all
the particularities passed since and about the Prince's imprisonment, he sends his secretary, who can also inform him
what answers and delays he has had. Sees that the King
is earnestly incensed by his ambassador's letters, not only
touching the liberty which the Queen requires for Man and
his household servants in like sort as his ambassador has permitted to him there; but also that of late the Queen has used
more extremity and so continues daily against such as they
call here Catholics. The ambassador also signified to the
King that the Queen was in very great heats with him about
this inequality, and had said that in case her ambassador
should not have granted to him this request her commandment was that he should come home; whereunto the King
said that he meant never to deal with him in it, much less to
grant it, and that in case he would be gone he might go. |
|
2. What the Count De Feria said herein Harrington can
inform him if he promises him fair. Is informed that he has
commandment to comfort all Papists, and to command all
the King's servants or pensioners to return. The young
gentleman has many good parts, and therefore Cecil might do
a good deal to persuade him from the return into this service.
Prays for his revocation; but beseeches him to consider the
danger he will be in if the Spanish Ambassador be dismissed
before his departure. |

3. Sir Francis Englefield has bought a house in this town,
and as void of hope to obtain his suit purposes to give himself entirely to the service of the King. The King has in
making at Biscay 12 strong ships, and has also commanded
to take up 30,000 "hamecks" of wheat there. There is
levying 4,000 men for Flanders. Sir Francis Englefield
opened to him secretly that he perceived by the Duke of
Feria's talk unto him, that he found himself much aggrieved,
having been so great a servant to the Queen and the only
friend of Englishmen and their causes in this Court, that
the Queen has not advanced in honour his wife's kinsfolk.
On the 4th inst. seeking audience of the King he was
answered that he was pained with the gout in his right hand,
and could not conveniently give audience; notwithstanding
which the Ambassador of Venice had audience the same day.

2126. Sir Francis Englefield to Cecil. |

It very much confounds him to see that the King of Spain
should need in so simple a suit as his so often to move and
press the Queen. By the delay he rests oppressed with as
hard a choice as any man can be put to; either to entangle
himself with the bondage of some foreign service, or else to
want necessary maintenance to sustain the vocation whereunto he was born. As for his returning there is a danger to
his life by an unjust taxing him with adhering to rebels and
the Queen's enemies; besides whilst his conscience remains
persuaded as it is there is no possible way to live there without the plain condemnation thereof inwardly, and the public
offence of his Sovereign by being scandalous to her subjects,
and a breaker of her laws. Seeks but a small part of what is
his own. Offers to make his wife such allowance as the
Queen would that she should have, so that she may not be
encouraged to defame her husband and dissolve his ordinances.

Since the proclaiming of the Edict in Paris there have been

into the city from Orleans have been by the soldiers cruelly
murdered at the gates, without any execution as yet done
upon the offenders. The Scottish captains who were with the
Prince are cassed altogether contrary to the Edict. It is
likewise said that the King means to put out of his household as many as are suspected to be of the religion. Commotions and slaughters in Languedoc. The King's reiters being
6,500 and the Prince's 7,800, have received in part payment
of their wages 400,000 francs, the remanet which is 700,000

1. This day there came to his lodgings two of the King's
secretaries, who declared that they had a message from the
King whereof they were very sorry: That whereas the King
had forborne to give him audience it proceeded not of lack
of goodwill towards the Queen, but that whereas at Man's
first coming he caused it to be intimated to him once by the
Duke of Feria and twice by the Duke of Alva that he should
content himself to live in this Court in like sort and manner
as other English Ambassadors have done heretofore, the
King was informed to his great grief that he had contrary to
that order used himself more largely in matters of religion
and against the order of the Holy House so plainly that he
could not bear withal, nor deal with him any more, and so
had determined not to hear him or suffer him to come into
his presence; and that he had already written to the Queen
to call him home as one not meet to live in this Court.
And further the King's pleasure was that he should sequester
himself out of the Court and town where he should be appointed. |
|
2. Man said that he was sorry that the King had been so
sinisterly informed of his case; and perceived that it proceeded not of His Majesty's good nature, but from whence
he knew right well; and touching any dealing to the misliking of the Holy Office, he told them that the Duke of
Alva at his first repair to this Court (the matter being
enforced upon him by the Count De Feria to follow the orders
of religion used in Spain as his predecessors did) assured him
in the King's name that for his own person he should take
himself privileged and not bound to repair to the churches
and ceremonies, but might without impeachment of the
Inquisition use any divine service within his house according
to the laws of England, and also might with security say,
speak, or do what he thought good within his own house,
saving always that his servants and family could not enjoy
the same liberty, but must be content to repair to the
churches and ceremonies used in Spain. |
|
3. They marvelled that the Duke of Alva should say so,
but that it was possible that he mistook his saying, for the
King was determined not to suffer any innovation in his
realm; but as for the liberty that the Queen of England's
Ambassadors had heretofore living after the Catholic sort, the
King was well content to continue it and no further. That
his ambassador claimed no larger privilege than had been
always granted to all his predecessors; and semblably Man
ought to be contented with the same that his predecessors
had and to have gone no further. They told him that the
King found no other fault but this. Desires his speedy
revocation.—Madrid, 23 April 1569 (sic). Signed.
