	Copy, p. 1.
	ii. Account of the entry of Spinelly, and the ceremony of presenting the cap and sword. On Friday, 19 May, the said prothonotary entered London, having been met at the sea-side, Canterbury and Rochester, by the bishops, and at Blackheath by the Duke of Suffolk, the Marquis of Dorset, the Bp. of Lincoln, the Earl of Essex, and all the Spears. Proceeded to London with the Duke on the right hand, the Marquis on the left, with the Bp. of Lincoln,—the mayor, aldermen, and city companies standing in the streets. Was met at the west door of St. Paul's by the Archbishop, the Bps. of Winchester, Durham, and Exeter, in pontificalibus. Proceeded with the choir to the high altar, where he deposited the cap and sword, and thence to the Augustin Friars. On Sunday the King and all the noblility, the ambassadors of Spain, Venice, Saxony and Friesland, and the Duke of Longueville, then prisoner, the officers of arms, the Duke of Norfolk, William Browne, the Lord Mayor of London, proceeded from the bishop's palace to the choir of St. Paul's, where, under a travers near the high altar, Spinelly was introduced, delivered to the King the Pope's letters, and was answered by Dr. Tunstall. "After the King went a procession, and both the sword that the Pope had sent, and the King's sword were borne. The Pope's orator bare the sword that he brought. The procession done, began the mass sung by the Archbishop, the Bp. of London, gospeller, the Bp. of Exeter, epistoler. The cap was put on the King's head, and the sword girt about him by the Archbishop of Canterbury, after the order of the book. And after mass, when the King returned, the sword that the Pope sent was borne alone by the Duke of Suffolk, and by him in the King's chamber delivered to the Vice-Chamberlain in lieu of the Lord Chamberlain. The strangers were" * * (The account here breaks off abruptly.)

	The strangers and other noblemen present were served as to such a feast pertained, but there was no hall kept. The King removed thence to Eltham for Whitsuntide and, because certain near the Court were dead of the great sickness, kept no household save for his chapel and office of arms. He commanded that Sir Edward Stanley, 2nd son of the Earl of Derby, should be proclaimed lord for his valiant acts at the battle of Branxston, where the King of Scots was slain; and, "because he won the hill or mount against the Scots and overcame all them which came against him," as the Earl of Argille, the Earl of _ (blank) with divers others to the number of _ (blank) thousand Scots, and his ancestors bore in their crest the eagle, the King named him the Lord Mounteagle, and so he was proclaimed.

	On his arrival at Rome informed the Cardinal of Bath how much Wolsey had befriended him (the Cardinal). Seeing him anxious to show his gratitude, broke to him this business (negotium nostrum) of the cardinalate—(will speak more plainly hereafter)—and asked him to use his efforts for that purpose. On his doing so the Pope thought it would be expedient, if Wolsey had great authority with the King, to make him a cardinal. Bath will write to Wolsey when the matter is near its accomplishment, to gain the royal assent. Not a word is to be said. Thinks he should write to Bath, or else to Polydore to let him understand that his intervention will be agreeable to Wolsey. The thing shall be so managed as to appear the spontaneous offering of the Pope, "sicut D.V. reverenda ita faciendum esse me admonuit." If he is too busy to write he may communicate with the writer's brother, Jerome. Begs Wolsey will protect him that he be not more burthened in Convocation, as he is a naturalised Englishman. The Pope desires peace, but all depends on the event of a war between England and France. Gurk has left for Germany without making peace with the Venetians. [Rome,] 21 May 1514.

23 May. Galba B III., 193. B.M.	2940. [5117.] SIR RICHARD WINGFIELD to [SUFFOLK].
	"* * * Ladye, sch[ewing that I had] received dyvers writings f[rom your Lordship by wh]iche I perceived that your Lordship [marvelled] greatly of such delay as she made [in giving] knowledge of the resolution of her mind." Urged my Lady to satisfy him as she had now received letters from the Emperor. She said she would dispatch his cousin Sydnaye, "now a[gain] being at Lovayne, whither she shall go this ...," and write by him to the King and you. As Wingfield was afraid her credence by Sydnaye would not satisfy the King, he told her * * * he begged her to send the same in writing—from which she excused herself, as her former letters to the King and you had not been kept secret—as Lord Berghes and the governor of Bresse had offered to prove. He denied it, and said it was only their malice. * * * "sent by Xpofer ... t been well ordered; and that ... syccon that the same was not we[ll ... for she had never answer to the said let[ters and all] the substance contained therein hath bee[n told unto her] by divers, and specially one clause which [hath been] word by word rehearsed unto her as here followeth, Mons. je ne escrypve a cest present a vostre con ... pour quoy je vous prye quyl soyt partycypant du cest[es]." Amongst others, she said the ambassador of Aragon was acquainted with them. Thinks there has been default somewhere—whether the King has received such letters or no. She will write to Wingfield, however, that he may keep her letters secret and send a copy in his own hand She is evidently delighted at the letters she has received from the Emperor, and I think her heart will not suffer her to keep you longer in suspense and that she desires "no less than ye do the accomplishment of both your appetites; wherefore it shall be well done that ye be not lavish in the unfurnishing of your garner, but to keep the same in store." Will send further news by his cousin Sydnaye. Malines, 23 May.

Titus, B. I., 142. B.M. Chron. Calais, 71.	2941. [4851.] [CHARLES BRANDON and MARGARET OF SAVOY.]
	"My Lady began this writing before the coming of Morroton, who came to Louvain on Sunday (fn. 2) last."
	"My Lord the Ambassador (fn. 3).—Since that I see that I may not have tidings from the Emperor so soon, it seemeth me that I should do well no longer for to tarry to dispatch this gentleman." (fn. 4) Dares not write to the King and Duke "of this business," for she fears her letters are "evil kept." Writes to him at length, in order that he may advertise them of her intent.
	After she had been some days at Tournay, and witnessed the King's great love "to the personage which is no need to name"; also "the virtue and grace of his person, the which me seemed that I have not much seen [any] gentleman to approach it," and the desire he showed to do her service, she constrained herself to do to him honor and pleasure, in order to please the King. But when Henry asked her whether this good will would stretch as far as "some effect of promise of marriage, seeing that it was the fashion of the ladies of England, and that it was not there holden for evil," she had replied that it was impossible, and would bring upon her the evil grace of her father and all that country; "that it was not here the custom, and that I should be dishonoured, and holden for a fool and light." But, not to grieve the King, she further said, "that if now I had well the will so for to do, that yet I ne would not durst think" [of it] as his return was so nigh. He said, when they departed, he knew well the ladies would forget them, that she would be pressed to marry, for she was too young to abide thus, and the ladies of his country did re-marry at fifty and three-score. She said she had been unhappy in husbands. Twice after, in the presence of the personage that ye know [Suffolk], the King returned to the charge, saying, "I know well, madame, and am sure, that my fellow shall be to you a true servant, and that he is altogether yours; but we fear that ye shall not do in like wise, for one shall force you to be again married, and that she shall not be found out of this country at my return." He then made her promise that she would not marry at least until his return, or the end of the year, "the which I did willingly, for I think not to again never to put me where I have had so much of unhap and infortune," and afterwards made his fellow do the semblable, who said he would not marry without her consent.
	These words were said at Tournay in her chamber one night after supper, well late. The other time was at Lylle, the day before they departed, when he and Suffolk spoke to her long at the head of a cupboard, "which was not without great displeasure well great of all persons"; and after many promises he made Margaret re-confirm in his hand, and the same of Suffolk, her promise aforesaid; "and the said personage, in my hand, without that I required him, made me the semblable." Nothing passed since, except some gracious letters, the which have been enough evil kept.
	As to Suffolk having shown a diamond ring she gave him, "which I cannot believe, for I esteem him much a man of virtue and wise," the truth is, that "one night at Tournay, being at the banquet, after the banquet he put himself upon his knees before me, and in speaking and him playing, he drew from my finger the ring, and put it upon his, and since shewed it me; and I took to laugh, and to him said that he was a thief, and that I thought not that the King had with him led thieves out of his country. This word laron he could not understand; wherefore I was constrained to ask how one said in Flemish laron. And afterwards I said to him in Flemish dieffe, and I prayed him many times to give it me again, for that it was too much known. But he understood me not well, and kept it unto the next day that I spake to the King, him requiring to make him to give it me, because it was too much known—I promising him one of my bracelets the which I wore, the which I gave him. And then he gave me the said ring; the which one other tyme at Lylle, being set nigh to my Lady of Hornes, and he before, upon his knees, it took again from my finger. I spake to the King to have it again; but it was not possible, for he said unto me that he would give me others better, and that I should leave him that. I said unto him, that it was not for the value but for that it was too much known. He would not understand it, and departed from me. The morrow after he brought me one fair point of diamond, and one table of ruby, and shew me that it was for the other ring; wherefore I durst no more speak of it, if not to beseech him that it should not be shewed to any person; the which hath not all been to me done." Finds it strange that the matter has been published. Will write him a bill of the inconveniences which may happen of it.
	"Thus signed, M."
	"The second writing."
	"My Lord the Ambassador." Margaret feels much abashed at "the unhappy bruit" spread through Germany and all other countries, and even amongst merchant strangers. By advice of her servants, and Lord Bergues and others, has made inquiry, and found it proceeded from England; "whereof I have had one marvellous sorrow." Has letters of an English merchant (fn. 5), "the which hath been the first that hath made the wagers, as Bresylle knoweth well." The King, at the request of Bresylle and "the personage" (Suffolk), has done many things to remedy this misfortune, "but yet I see that the bruit is so imprinted in the fantasies of people, and fear that it continue long, that all that which is done is not enough, for I continue alway in fear. And also I know that I may not shew towards the personage the weal and honor which I desire to do, as before." Dares not write to him, nor even to speak of him, and she is constrained to treat him as a stranger, "which doth me so much displeasure that I cannot write it, seeing that I take him so much for my good friend and servant, and that I am constrained so to do; and also I see that to this gentleman (fn. 6) only which is here I dare not speak or look to him; whereof I am so much displeasant that nothing more. He himself apperceiveth well that every one beholdeth him of the other side."
	The descent of the King is what she desires "as much as his coming, and the same of my Lady Mary." Does not like to dissemble, and feels she "shall not dare speak nor shew good semblant to the said personage; whereas I would make to him much honor and good cheer, I shall not dare behold him with a good eye, what displeasure shall be the same to him and to me." I know no remedy but that which Bresylle will shew you. (fn. 7) "I would not constrain him to it against his will, but, and he desire ever that I do him honor or pleasure, it is force that it be so, not for that I have not the goodwill towards him, such as ever I have had, but for that I am for mine honor constrained so to do." Prays him to make the King and "the personage" understand this, "that I may do to him better service, and to his fellow pleasure. I pray you to do of this as of the other. Likewise assigned, M."

[26 May.] Vitell. B. XVIII., 85. B.M.	2945. [5126.] SIR ROBERT WINGFIELD to HENRY VIII.
	"Wrote last from Vienna on the [20th] of the present month, which were but [in answer to your] letters of the last of April and of the 5th [of this month]." Left next morning, as he intended, to follow the Emperor; arrived here this day at 10 a.m. Would have arrived here sooner; but, owing to the unusual heat of the weather, the badness of the road, and an accident which befel his waggon and sumpter-horse, he was delayed. Although the Emperor was at dinner when Wingfield arrived, he at once gave him audience. Wingfield informed him that he had letters in answer to his ... and to those of the 19th; that Henry considered the declaration of Urreas "to be full of ficte and colored matter," and but for his confidence in Maximilian would have thought even he had not declared the pith of the matter to Wingfield, considering that Urreas' declaration was but general and that the ambassador of Aragon in England had before the 5th inst. explained why his master had made a truce with the French King, and that the Emperor had not only accepted it but made an overture for a marriage between that King and the Lady Eleanor, his niece [i.e. granddaughter], which Henry could not believe. The Emperor took in good part Wingfield's declaration of the matters mentioned in Henry's letters of the 5th. Was glad Henry perceived his danger and "importable charges." Notwithstanding the ambassador of Aragon's statement, he knew the [French King] too well to make him such an offer. As to the marriage between his nephew [i.e. grandson Charles] and Henry's sister [Mary], as he has explained to my Lady his daughter, and as Henry will learn by the ambassadors sent, things cannot have the very course that ... of. As to the horsemen and hoys to be had from the Prince's countries, he made Wingfield no di[rect answer,] having explained his mind to his daughter. Thinks "that th ... to grant you a new licence ... to be a mover of war aga[inst] ... will revoke the licence he granted unto you ... which is sufficient enough." He agreed with Henry that England was bound to continue the war till the French King sued for peace both from him and Aragon; wondered that Ferdinand was not more fervent in Henry's behalf; and doubted only the goodwill of Henry's subjects. At Henry's meeting with the Emperor last year, nothing else was wanting to a great exploit. Wingfield was then dismissed, and Hans Reynner being ordered to tell him the news from Italy, informed him "the Cardinal of Gource [had written unto the] Emperor showing that the Pope is right well disposed toward his Majesty ... upon him to ratify the lawde (fn. 9) f ... that the said Cardinal had taken his [leave on the 10th] of this month and should depart the n[ext day, deferring] then to write any further, showing that ... his journey, he should have both more liberty an[d be able to] advertise his Majesty more amply." The matter is so confused "the Emperor wottyth neere ho ... it, and the rather because that sith he hath had n[o news] from the said Cardinal." A secretary of the Emperor resident with the [Viceroy] writes that he thinks the ratification [by the] Pope is but for three months. If this be so there is as much uncertainty of peace as ever. The Viceroy's army is reinforced with lance-knights and artillery to lay siege to Treviso; but, owing to the uncertainty "of the said new ratification by the Pope," he delays; and so both time and money is lost. "The [Emperor sendeth a] new army out of these quarters to give s[uccour to a town] called Marrane, which is besieged b[y the Venetians, if] so be that they within have ... the Venetiens at divers assaults, yet they ... [desp]eyre for lack of victuals, for they have begun [to eat th]eyre horses already." The Emperor has sent the master of the Horse and other noblemen to their rescue. Wingfield is afraid they will arrive too late. Affairs here will be very confused until tidings are received from the Pope. Although 20 days ago the Emperor ordered Urreas to go to the Viceroy to spur him forward, Urreas has lain still, hoping by that means to compel the Emperor to accept the truce before the 12th of this month, "which was the extreme day limited of the accepting the truce by the Emperor"; "but his Majesty showeth himself at many times not easy to be led, and much worse to be driven, and therefore, Sire, for the love of God, have good consideration how ye do handle this old practised Prince, which hath been but easily known in time past, because many have sought to defame him, and few to declare and shew what manner of man he is." Assuredly, he desires Henry's success against France, although he would not be noted to instigate it. Wingfield has never received the book, enclosed in Henry's letter of the last day of April detailing the preparations made by Henry for carrying on the war; has not mentioned the matter to the Emperor. The Emperor has gone three Dutch miles from here; it is uncertain whether he returns hither. His Council, nor any of the other ambassadors, have not yet come. "[He] is but 6 Dutch mile out of Hungary and in five [hours] may ride at his ease to there as the Turk is lord, [too] far from Lombard Street for him that is so e[mpty] of money as I am." Grattz in Styremark, ... May, 1514.

	Came yesterday to Sandwich, hoping to have found the ships in the Downs, but they were not there, and by 7 o'clock he came to Dover. The vice-admiral had sent over Sir Henry Sherborne and Sir Stephen Bole, with ten sail of small men, and the row barge, galleys, and others, well manned, in as good order, to his mind, as possible. The wind was N.N.E.; the haze great. With the flood they "drew over with Scalis Clyves," and then with the ebb came with a good "blower" to St. John's Road, and sent forward Sir Stephen Boole, Thomas Vaughan, and three others. "Prior John" rode at the point of St. John's Road, towards Calais, five miles from Boleyne. At sight of these five ships the French fled with sails and oars, and got beyond reach. "The wind at midnight forced them to return; and my cousin Wyndam in like [manner with] 20 sails with him; and at this hour I see him with them ... coming again unto us." Has appointed Sir Henry Sherborne with 10 sail, and Wiseman and Wallop with other 10 sail, if wind come before midnight, Sir Henry to get between Boulogne and the galleys and Wiseman to come along the shore from Calais. If he had 2,000 or 3,000 soldiers, such as are now at Calais, shipped in the haven there to be landed with other 3,000 within two miles of Boulogne the galleys might be taken. Has ordered Sir Thomas West to stay at Sandwich till the King's further pleasure. Has sent two good ships to Seland to waft the fleet, and appointed nine to go northwards when wind serves. Written in the M[ary Rose] in Dover Road, 27 May, at 7 at night. Signed.

	Has spoken to the Duke [of Longueville], who "was as ill afraid, as ever he was in his life, lest no good effect should come to pass" touching the treaty. The King expressed his willingness to come to terms if reasonable offers be made to him. He stipulated that Louis (considering how much of Henry's inheritance he withholds and how much Henry's amity may help "his matter in Italy") should pay 100,000 cr. yearly and that the amity should be made during their lives and one year after; which amity once granted, the alliance of marriage will not be refused.

	* * * . "Monseigneur le [Duc de Longueville et M. le General de] Normandie, ambassadeurs ... de la part du Roy leur maistre p. ... faire entendre au Roy d'Angleterre: Premierement que ledict Roy leur maistre rem[ercie] ledict Roy d'Angleterre tant si affectueusement [et] cordialement quil peult de ce que ayant res[ ... r]eciproquement il desire et veult venir a b[onne] paix, amytie, et aliance avec luy, et pareillem[ent des] bonnes grandes, et honnestes paroles quil a po ... mondit Sieur de Longueville, monstrant par icelles [son] singulier desir et affection audit Roy leur mais[tre], au bien et redressement de ses affaires, et princ[ipalement] au recouvrement de sa duche de Mylan, et ... quil a en Italie, et de luy aider audit recouvrement, le paix de ['entre eulx traictee faite et conclute." The King their master also thanks the King of England for consenting to the marriage of his sister. Thinks the alliance of the two Kings will be most profitable to Christendom. Longueville is empowered to conclude it. Trusts it will be a more firm alliance than ever was established. Will give 500,000 crowns, besides the sums mentioned in the treaties of Estaples and London, and also [in the bond] of the late Mons. d'Orleans, (fn. 11) all which will amount to 1,000,000 crowns, [to be discharged at the rate of] 40,000 crowns a year, the peace to endure for a year after the death of the first deceased of the two Princes. In the event of Louis having a son by Mary, or Henry by Katharine, who is now enceinte, the alliance will be of equal advantage to both. As to Tournay, though not a very important matter, (fn. 12) it must be delivered up, [as the French King] has assured the King of England, by letters under his hand and seal ... Cannot otherwise get the consent of the Estates to the marriage. ... Tournay must be placed in such security that, on the marriage being accomplished, it shall be given up to the King their master without dissimulation. He is surprised that the King of England should wish to marry her without a dowry, she being his sister, which might turn hereafter to her reproach. The King proposes to comprehend in the alliance Pope Leo X., the Empire, Scotland, Portugal, Denmark, Navarre, Venice, Gueldres, Mons. de Liege, and the Sieur de [Sedan]. As to sending ambassadors "en Esc[osse ?]" and "la mainbournye," their master will agree to that and everything which concerns the honour and authority of the King [of England;] for he means by this peace that they, their realms, houses and subjects [shall be] "une meme chose," and all his subjects are equally desirous of peace.

S.P. Hen. VIII., 230, f. 188. R.O.	2959. SURREY to NORFOLK, FOX and WOLSEY.
	Wrote yesterday how he had appointed an enterprise against the galleys. This morning the wind came N.W., so that ships dare not venture within St. John's Road; but with next fair wind the writer will go over in the King's Less Bark with a company of small ships and if the galleys remain outside the bulwark he trusts "to displease them without great loss. And if they go within the bulwark as far as I can understand it is as dangerous as it were to enter within Risbanke Tower; which is not to be adventured with none but with them that will cast themself away wilfully." As it does not seem honorable for all the army to remain here for fear of the galleys, and they must shortly go to the Wight for victualling, he suggests that the ships named in the enclosed bill should, under Sir Wistan Browne, defend the passage and encounter the galleys while the rest of the army draws "westward to do the most annoyance to the Frenchmen they can." (Here the first leaf ends with the note that the captains have seen "this side of the leaf" and desired him so to write, "but none is privy to the other side.")
	If "this Frenchman (fn. 13) that now is come" should conclude a peace when the great ships have gone westward the wind might come so that it should cost 2,000l. more to bring them into Tamys. Doubtless as you see cause you will "either shortly stop or else haste forward as well the King's great ship, with her victuals, as also such victuals as John Dawtre shall prepare more for this army." If the matter of peace will be concluded within a fortnight it were better to keep the great ships here and send small ships westward; for the ships here are victualled for a fortnight and more, "and those that go northward for a month." Desires answer in the premises "by post," so that if he is to tarry here he may send for more servants, having but 18, "which is too few." Scribbled in the Mary Rose in Dover Road.
	P.S.—"Yesterday, in the calm, Preer John with his galleys and foists chased a small balinger of ours but he would never come two mile fro the shore."

	Received his letters in his own hand by Loys Maraton and heard his charge. At once sent to the President to make ready to go into England and will to-morrow send to Jehan Colle, who is at Malines, to do the like. In view of her continual need of the President she has told him to return to her upon the first answer he gets and, if necessary, Jehan Colle may remain longer. Wishes she could at once send the money the Emperor desires; but there is nothing. Brabant will not grant over 24,000 fl. for the two terms, of which more than 100,000 fl. are already assigned, and the other countries cannot be induced to grant anything. However, she will try to get it, or as much as she can, in loan from the King of England, upon the bond of the treasurer and herself, and send it by letter of exchange as he desires. The more easily to induce the English to this he should resolve upon the affair of the marriage of Madame Marie and their request, in case they do not accept the truce, to make use of the Emperor's subjects here; for they are much dissatisfied about these two points. * * * Is taking her nephew and nieces on a pleasure trip to La Veure and Brussels.
