1468. [3500.] [YOUNG and BOLEYN to HENRY VIII.]
Wrote last on the 28th. The time fixed for the Emperor's coming is expired, and the Duke of Brunswick's coming is equally uncertain. Think it advisable that the King should have a resident in the Imperial court, who can do more than my Lady's letters, "for a letter is soon seen, and lightly cast in some corner and forgotten." Yesterday, one of the Emperor's Council, named [Preluke] told them that the Pope, who favors the Venetians, is a great cause of the delay; but, as the said Preluke says, the Bishop of Gurk is gone to R[ome] for a conclusion between the Emperor and the Venetians; and if the King's matters be not settled before Italy is pacified, they will be long in reaching the desired conclusion. Think another cause of the delay is that "my Lady is informed how my Lord Marquis and the company being in Guyon hath all this while done and what they entered to do." Brussels, 3 Nov.

1469. [3499.] SPINELLY to HENRY VIII.
Wrote last on the 28th ult. Yesterday came a post from the Emperor, stating that he was coming hither from Nuis, and intended on his way to retake Stralle from the Gueldrois. Marroton came from the Emperor this morning. Not having spoken to Madame, has not been able to ascertain if he had any charge touching the affairs of the English ambassadors. The Bishop of Gurk, by letters of the 18th, left Modona on the 14th for Rome; in his company were Andreas de Burgo, several of the Council of Isprouck and of Verona, and an ambassador of the Duke of Milan. They expect to make peace between the Emperor and the Venetians, but the latter are fortifying Padua and Treviso in case the negotiations fail. De Taxis writes that the Venetians have intimated to Gurk and the Viceroy that, if they have taken Crema and intend to take Brescia, Venice may do so by virtue of the Holy League. The Viceroy and Gurk have replied that the towns belong to the Empire. According to his letters from Trent, of the 23rd, the Venetian army is between Brescia and Crema; the Viceroy's in the faubourgs of Brescia. The French were ready to surrender the castles to the Emperor and to any but Spaniards; but the Viceroy refused to receive the capitulation otherwise than as captain of the Holy League. Sends a letter from the Duke of Milan to the master of the Posts relative to the affair at Brescia. Asked Madame if it were true that the Emperor is not satisfied with the Viceroy; she replied that the Emperor was determined to take away from the Pope all cause of jealousy. The Duke of Milan's going to Milan has produced greater consequences than were expected; it is reported that the Emperor and the King Catholic wish to divide (appoingnier) the duchy between them and had already done so if the Pope and the Swiss would have consented. The Duke of Milan left Trent on the 24th for Verona, to wait the answer of Gurck from Rome. The French are continually practising with the Swiss. By letters of the 30th from Blois, the Duke of Alva had left St. John "Piet de Porck" for Pampeluna to resist the King of Navarre with 600 lances and 7,000 foot. St. John Pied de Port can resist all the power of France. Madame is going to Haulx, and thence to Angien, to arrange the marriage between the son of Berghes and the daughter of Fiennes.

From Andrea Badoer, London, 9 Nov.—The English fleet and troops have returned; also the Great Treasurer, who went as ambassador to Scotland, where things seem to be adjusted. The King will prepare a fleet and attack France in the spring. The Queen very warm about this and would like to get four great galleasses and two bastard from the Signory, asking the cost and saying that France was building two bastard galleasses. The King and Council not pleased with the Spaniards. The reason given for the return of the troops is lack of victuals. Encloses letter from the King answering one from the Signory.
From Lorenzo Pasqualigo, consul at London, 9 Nov.—The King prepares a fleet against France. The English fleet, returning, captured two French ships. Two Ragusan houses here have failed for 20,000 ducats, through kerseys taken by Turks. The King is for war, the Council against and the Queen for it.

S.P. Hen. VIII. 229, f. 92. R.O. 1480. SIR EDWARD HOWARD to WOLSEY.
Thanks for Wolsey's kindness in his absence, of which he learns by Sir Charles's (fn. 2) letter; and also for the "great reward" which the King has sent him, at Wolsey's instance. Trusts to do service for it ere he come home. Hitherto neither man of war nor fisher has interrupted the fishing of the King's subjects in the North seas; as Thomas Vaughan can show, to whom he has given a credence too long to write. Will send the Mary Jamys up to London, as she in unfit for any man to venture in this winter; and will go into the New Bark or Mary George, whichever comes first hither. Those whose rumours caused the King to "enforce this army northward" deserve punishment; for here is nothing to do this winter, when there will be no French man-of-war over 60 or 80 tons on this side the Trade. As for skulkers and adventurers, "I dare lay my life on it, and the King's grace will let the Lezard, my bark and the new bark that Sir Stephen Bull is in, with one good ship to lie for a stale in the Camber and another in the Wygth, that there shall not stir a Frenchman but he shall drink to his oysters." To keep an army this winter will not ease the King's subjects, who have no business except to Seland, "and that will be done with in five or six days with a couple of wafters," for there is nothing to be feared from great ships which dare not keep the Narrow Seas these winter nights, without harbours. It will be three days before they can be victualled ready to go forth. Asks how long the King will have them continue. Only twelve days of their month remain; but, before leaving Hampton, he took another month's wages from John Dawtre. Thomas Vaughan can give good counsel concerning these winter wars. "And if we shall continue another month, send down some friezes for coats, frocks for our men, or they are never able to abide it. They sicken every day. Ye would pity to see it." Urges haste, as he is loath to lie in haven with victuals ready. Written at Herwych. (On the back in Howard's hand: Written this Sunday at night.)

She said, Nay; his coming was much desired, and all the estates here assembled; and if not assured of his return they would shortly send my Lord of Nasso and the Treasurer to know his mind; if he come to Luxemburg she will go to meet him, as well for our matters as their own.

Desires him to collect all arrerages, rents, &c, as he will send some of his servants for them in six days; and also to get for him three score old Iceland lings of the best sort, some wine, congers and puffins. The King's service, "since March shall be two years" has cost him 2,000l., "and drowned it is, in manner, and shall be from his grace. For novells, ye and all the Council know by post. The King was marvellously well served. I saw none more like to serve feebly than myself, but good will and true mind failed not ne never shall, God willing." Wishes him to hasten the sale of wood in Devonshire and at Talworth, before L. Hollingworth come; and to send some provisions for his chapel. Templehirst, 17 Nov.
Postscript.—Fell sick at Bamborough on his return home, but hopes all danger is past "yet a sore cumberd and stoppit brest I have." He led a valiant and wellwilled company of 500 more than his promised 2,500, for which he indented.

1484. MARTIN DE MUXICA to FERDINAND KING OF ARAGON.
The English army sailed the day after Martin Dampies arrived with letters from their King. It was Sunday; and the writer sailed with them but, warned by the Bp. of Siguenza, kept away from the Admiral's ship. On the Thursday following they arrived off Falmouth, and next day he landed and hastened towards London, where he arrived on 6 Nov. and found the Ambassador gone to Southampton to see the Spanish fleet. Let the Queen and King know that he had arrived but waited for the Ambassador's return, nine days later, before going to Court. There, after speaking with the King and Queen, told the Councillors of Ferdinand's answer to the English paymaster (fn. 3) and John Stile and showed the letters of the Marquis of 7 and 11 Sept. The Councillors agreed that the English had behaved badly. Gives a graphic description of the scene on Friday, 19 Nov., when the captains of the army, including Lords Herbert, Huyloby, Feliz, and a brother of the Marquis, knelt before the King, were asked by an archbishop to explain their conduct, and alleged three reasons, viz., that they had no provisions, that their men mutinied, and that the Marquis was to blame for all. Showed part of his instructions (omitting mention of the moiety), in which the Privy Councillors took special note of the marriage with the daughter of the late King of Navarre; and they said that the Marquis had told them that the letter of 11 Sept. was written by the Bishop of Siguenza. After holding a Council which was attended by a great many nobles, including the Duke of Buckingham, the Councillors had a long conversation with Muxica and the Ambassador; saying, finally, that their King would be guided by Ferdinand as his father. The Queen afterwards told him she had suggested giving Ferdinand money to carry on the war in Guienne. * * * London, 19 Nov. 1512.

All Italy is waiting for the determination of Card. Gurk, who entered Rome on the 3d, and on the 14th had given no assurance of peace. Brescia has been surrendered to the Spaniards. The Venetians have retired, and for the last 15 days have been posted on the lake Benacus (lago di Garda); yesterday they marched on the Po. It is said the Venetians are to be excluded from the confederacy, as they oppose the Imperial demands. Terni on the river Trent, 23 Nov. 1512.

1512.—Delayed writing in the hope that things, which were tending to go wrong, might take a better turn, but now they are constrained to signify as follows. The Spanish army after their enterprise of Florence, crossed the Po and came to Brescia, which the Venetians were on the point of taking; and the Viceroy, negociating with the French, took possession in the name of the League and let the French depart beyond the Mountains with arms, bag and baggage. According to the League, Brescia should be delivered to Venice; but the Viceroy declined to do this, saying he must await the conclusion of peace with the Emperor, for which Gurk was gone to Rome, and that he took it in order to compel the Signory to make peace upon "their" terms. Gurk arrived at Rome on the 3rd inst., and "they" immediately proposed to the Venetian ambassadors terms which were unjust and impossible, threatening that if these were rejected "they" would league with the Emperor against Venice,—and by last letters from Rome, of the 20th, a league of the Pope and Emperor is already drawn. The Spanish ambassadors have not entered it, and the Cardinal of York not only refused to subscribe but spoke strongly against it. The above is to be communicated to the King, and the terms of the proposed peace shown to mean only war. Except Padua and Treviso all the State on this side the Mincio was to be compromitted to the arbitrament of the Pope and King of Spain, a very great sum paid for the investiture, an excessive annual rent paid, and Verona and Vicenza ceded to the Emperor, thus cutting off from them Brescia and Crema and their other towns in Lombardy;—worse terms than they rejected when the enemy were besieging Padua and Treviso. Badoer shall beg the King to support their cause vigorously both at Rome and in Spain. Enclose letters from Ragusa with news to be shown to the King. If this Signor Turk, who is young and very hostile to the Christian name, see Christendom in dissension there will be great danger.

His Councillor, the bp. of Gurcz, has been well received by the Pope, who suggested a treaty of peace between the Emperor and the Venetians, as proposed seven months ago, but the Venetian ambassadors answered that they had no charge. Apparently they are more inclined to war than peace; and therefore the Pope has told Gurcz that, if they do not quickly accept the treaty, he will aid the Emperor against them. The ambassador of Aragon said the like for his master. Thereupon, [without ?] the Venetians, an alliance between the Pope, Emperor, Aragon and England is proposed. Wizembourg en Elsass, 28 Nov. 1512.
Postscript.—Suspects an understanding between the Venetians and France. Andrew Griti, who was their captain general and taken prisoner by the French, comes often to the King of France and the Duke of Savoy practises the Swiss.

In answer to their last, dated Mechlin, 19 Nov. inst., reporting how, at their late coming to the Duchess of Savoy to thank her for the news she sent by her secretary Marnyx, touching the speedy coming' down of the Emperor, she expressed her surprise at the return of the army from Guienne, saying, "Where had we been now if this confederation had been conclud[ed] betwixt the Emperor, your master, and us?"—they are to say that the King of Aragon, hearing of the constant rains in those parts, "to the intolerable pains of the soldiers of our said army, which in that barren country have perseverantly lain in the field sithens as before, without any breach or dissolution of the same," and agreed to all that was done; and therefore it is expedient she obtain the Emperor's resolution without delay, so that the Kings of England and Aragon may follow up the war, which has hitherto been deferred for lack of his determination.
