Miscellaneous 1509

1509. Dec. 24. Sanuto Diaries, v. ix. p. 293. 1342. Summary of Letters, dated Rome, 9 Deecmber, from Hieronimo Count of Porcil (Porcia?) to Zuan Badoer, Doctor and Knight.
Letters had been received from Flanders that King Lewis was mustering an army for the invasion of Italy in the spring, and sending troops into Normandy from fear of the English.
The Frenchmen in Rome were in great suspense, because the English ambassador (Bainbridge) and the two Venetians had held a parley with the congregation of Cardinals.

Dec. 24. Sanuto Diaries, v. ix. p. 320. 1343. Reading in the Senate of Letters from Rome, dated the 5th and 9th. How the Pope had hardened his heart worse than ever, about not choosing to raise the excommunication, and that the Bishop (sic) of York had done the State good service with the Pope, who chose him to take part with the Cardinals appointed to hear the ambassadors, and the proposals made by the Pope to the Signory. So the procurator Trevisan and the doctor Hironimo Donado, Venetian ambassadors, went to those Cardinals, and Trevisan justified the Signory's conduct about the Gulf and the vice-lordship of Ferrara, in such wise that the English ambassador was satisfied and spoke to the Pope, who said to him, “And we will write to England to the King, and have his opinion.” Consider the business therefore tedious. The English ambassador enjoyed great repute at Rome, and had assured the Venetian ambassadors that his King had made a league with the King of Scotland, and that they meant to invade France.
