[21 July.]	898. Anne of Cleves to the Duke of Cleves.
R. O. St. P. i. 645.	Perceives by his letter of the 13th to the king of England, her “most dear and most kind brother,” that he takes the matter lately determined between them somewhat to heart. Informs him that she consented to the examination and determination, “wherein I had more respect (as beseemed me) to truth than to any worldly affection that might move me to the contrary, and did the rather condescend thereunto for that my body remaineth in the integrity which I brought into this realm.” The King has adopted her as his sister, and uses her with more liberality than she or her brother could well wish. Is well satisfied. The King's friendship for him will not be impaired for this matter unless the fault should be in himself. Thinks it necessary to write this, and that she purposes to live here, lest for want of true knowledge he should take the matter otherwise than he ought. Subscribed: Anna Duchess born of Cleves, Gulik, Geldre, and Berge, your loving sister. Three copies, pp. 3 each.

21 July.	901. Marillac to Francis I.
R. O. Kaulek, 201. (The whole text.)	[London], 21 July:—The talk of which he wrote, about an objection proposed to the marriage with Anne of Cleves, has led to the matter being determined by sentence of all the bishops confirmed and authorised by Parliament. The marriage has been declared null, and consequently has been followed by separation; this King having first sworn in presence of his Privy Council not to have had any knowledge with the said lady by which the marriage could be alleged to have been consummated on any other ground than that of the mere consent, which, he says, was of no effect because she had previously promised the son of the duke of Lorraine, and consequently this King was not bound by the marriage treaty, having made it in ignorance of this. Upon which the said lady, being required to consent that the bishops should be the judges, freely granted it; although her brother's ambassador says that he had often warned her to grant nothing to the prejudice of her own rights or her brother's estate, but could get no answer except that she would obey the King her lord, pointing out the great kindness he had used towards her and her firm intention to endure all he thought fit and to remain always in this country and not return to her own. The King, being informed of this good will, has provided her with an honourable estate, to maintain which he leaves her for life the places of Richmond, Autel (doubtless a misreading of Antel, i.e., Ampthill) and More, of 12,000 crs. rent. He has nevertheless made the curates and their vicars announce to their parishes (fn. 2) that she is no longer to be called queen, but Lady Anne of Cleves; to the great regret of this people, who loved and esteemed her much as the sweetest, most gracious and kindest queen they ever had or would desire. It is commonly said that this King will marry a lady of great beauty, daughter of Norfolk's deceased brother. If permitted to write what he hears, he would say this marriage has already taken place and is consummated; but as this is kept secret he dare not yet certify it as true. The prince of Salerno, who came hither only to see the country, having been feasted both in this Court and in some of the most beautiful places this King has, Windsor and Hampton Court, left, after eight days, with the seigneur d'Avila, of the Emperor's chamber. It is since heard that the brother of the Duke of Ferrara, who was in Flanders with the Emperor, will be here immediately upon the same business. Parliament finishes to-morrow. What it has concluded is not yet known in detail, but will soon be printed and published; and, even as regards religion, all agrees with what was determined last year; which only differs from that held by the Church, as regards obedience to the Holy See and Orders of religious persons. One novelty is spoken of as concluded although not yet published: it is that all strangers dwelling in this realm shall depart before Michaelmas next, except only those engaged in commerce, who shall not keep house unless they be married or have letters of naturalization. At this many poor people are much taken aback (esbahys), especially Flemings, of whom there are here a great number. French. Modern transcript, pp. 4.
21 July.	902. Marillac to Montmorency.
R. O. Kaulek, 203. (Almost the whole text.)	[London], 21 July:—Refers to the letter to the King touching the repudiation of this Queen and her patience in affliction. Must not omit that the cause of this sudden settlement of so important an affair is said to be that this King has already consummated marriage with this last lady, relative of the duke of Norfolk, and it is feared she is already enceinte. Cannot affirm this otherwise; for these are things which are kept secret. Montmorency will also learn the return of the prince of Salerno with the sieur d'Avila, who has sown here some things it would have been more honourable to suppress than to publish to this King (who told Marillac of them) and several of this Court. The substance is that D'Avila commonly said, laughing and moeking, that he could not sufficiently wonder that Francis had so easily granted the Emperor a passage through France, considering the difficulty, expense, and danger of going by sea, or by Italy or Germany. Also that seeing there was no promise to surrender Milan, so unlikely is it that they should agree on this article that there was only a truce for ten years, which the Emperor on his part would observe, but as to the restoration of Milan, he had as much mind to surrender it as a superior in title would have to make himself inferior in power—rather he would annex it to the Empire when he had put order in Brabant and elsewhere, as he expected shortly to do; concluding that Francis was not in this matter where he thought himself, but rather further off. This is the substance of what this King and others say they heard from the said Spaniard. Thinks right to report it, although he has answered those who spoke of it according to Montmorency's instructions and made light of D'Avila's words as spoken rather in passion than in knowledge of his master's intention. Those here, however, open their eyes and think they have gained a great advantage; though they continue to speak of Francis as before, and beg Marillac not to be suspicious because so many lords go and come to this country, for if it was for any other occasion than to see the country they (the English) would let Marillac know. The King has written for the third time to this King in Rochepot's favour, for whose affair Marillac has done his best, but finds the English grow obstinate and irritated. Presented the letters to this King, who answered that, against the opinion of his Council and learned men, he had, for Francis's sake, condescended to refer the decision to deputies of either side, and he was surprised that Francis wrote of it so often. Replied that people were surprised still more in France that he made a difficulty in so clear a matter, which concerned neither him nor his subjects; for the ship in question was confessedly taken in the high seas of Zealand, out of his liberties, and was wrongfully driven into an English port by some of his subjects with their cannon, although the mariners were on their way to Scotland, as Norfolk had witnessed in open Council, and which was a point the doctors of London were unable to answer; and, although Winchester, to show his learning, offered to maintain his master's right by various “desguisemens” and irrelevant facts, I required him “de me souldre cest object,” which neither he nor any of them could do; and many who were esteemed learned, in presence of their master, hung their heads, confessing they were wrong. So that it has been determined that the affair is to be again reviewed by the Council, but there is little willingness to change their purpose, as it would seem treason to give an opinion contrary to their master's jurisdiction. At the end of this conference Suffolk complained greatly that he could not have issue of his affair in France, which has lasted 18 years, although he had all the sentences and decrees necessary. Norfolk likewise alleged the reply lately made to him on the same subject by which it was remitted to the marshals, one of whom is at Turin (?) (fn. 3) and the other ill. Winchester, continuing, explained the diligence he had made in it in vain, and the delays of justice in France,—that affairs decided in one court were revoked in another and after dragging on ten years at Rouen were revoked to the Marble Table,—that he had lent 100 crs. or 120 crs. to a suitor (poursuivant) at the Grand Council and yet had no issue; adding, like the others, particulars proving that the English were never reimbursed for depredations they suffered. The King, to conclude, said that when justice was done to his subjects he would feel bound to do it to the French; but certainly there were daily complaints, and he was astonished that over there they did not proceed otherwise. Gives the substances of his (Marillac's) reply, alleging the doubtful nature of Suffolk's case, denying that decisions of one court were altered in another, pointing out the expense of law everywhere and citing cases of Frenchmen who could not get justice in England, such as a poor Breton he has maintained out of charity, and four or five who had died suitors. As to depredations, Francis had been the last who had put his hand in his purse by reimbursing an Englishman who complained last year; whereas there were three or four Frenchmen who, after consuming all they had, had been supported by the ambassadors until finally in despair they went away or lost their wits. Besides, he could point out a multitude of poor people who had been robbed and who had preferred to lose all rather than engage in a profitless suit. These things showed this King how ill informed he had been by his ministers, and he finally said there were wrongs on both sides, but he would expedite those Marillac named provided Francis would do the like. Was told the same 15 months ago and can see no more expedition. Cannot deny that in some places, in Cromwell's time, people did not behave well to others (l'on ne s'y soit bien porté aux aultres). Has written all this also to the Chancellor. French. Two modern transcripts, pp. 8 and pp. 10.
22 July.	903. Montmorency to Wallop.
R. O. St. P. viii., 401n.	No conclusion has yet been taken in the affair about which Wallop writes. The ambassador of Cleves has gone to the Duke for his resolution. Supposes the Duke to be so much a friend to Henry that he will conceal nothing from him. Nothing will be done here contrary to the amity between their Majesties. Neufbourg, 22 July. Signed. Fr., p. 1. Add. Endd.
23 July.	904. Wallop and Carne to Henry VIII.
R. O. St. P. viii., 400.	Since writing on the 15th, heard nothing of the ambassadors of Cleves, and therefore sent Wallop's secretary to speak to them, bidding him, if they would not enter into communication, to see Crewserus. He found that they had gone, and that the report was that the matter about which they came was concluded. Sent the secretary with a letter to the Constable, whose answer is enclosed. He also had an interview (detailed) with the queen of Navarre, who said the marriage of her daughter was not concluded, for they would not agree unless the French king would give her as heritier, which he refused, offering 100,000 cr. for her dote. She thinks the Emperor will now conclude with them for the duchess of Milan. She thought the ambassadors left without making the English ambassadors privy to their proceedings in consequence of the news they had heard from England of the separation of the Queen. She said some had told lies about her to the ambassador (Wallop) to bring her out of favour with Henry, but her affection for him will not change. When she hears of any one going who will speak with the King, “she will show him such things that your Grace will not only be well contented to hear, but also make your Grace laugh and be merry.” The French king intends to pass next month at Vateville in Normandy, within two leagues of Coddebeck towards Hable de Grace. Lovieres, 23 July. Signed. Pp. 5.
23 July.	905. Thomas Barnaby to Wallop.
R. O.	Has received his letter from Veronne asking him to get his servant taught to play on the vials, and to say no more about the King's affairs than Wallop advises him although “that matter” is much talked of, especially by the councillors of the Great Council. The ambassadors of Gelders and their Chancellor came to his lodging on the 21st at 10 p.m. Coming home from supper very late, met the old ambassador's servant who speaks English and was with Wallop at Abbeville. He desired Barnaby to speak with his master. Offered to do so on the morrow, when he told Barnaby that he had not seen Wallop since he left Paris, for he and the other ambassadors arrived the day after Wallop left Court and they were lodged within the Court while Wallop was five leagues away. “They moved me” of the report that the King (of England) would be separated from the Queen. The “old ambassador” said first that the French king had told him this, but afterwards that it was the King or some other great man, but he had heard nothing of it from the duke of Cleves, and he thought it was but a dream. He said the marriage between the duke of Cleves and the king of Navarre's daughter was in a manner concluded. Dined with them, and during dinner the lieutenant of the Civil Law came and spoke with them. The ambassadors left between 2 or 3 next morning, but they returned to a new lodging at St. Denyse Street. Paris, 23 July. The captain of Depp tells him that the bp. of Rome is treating of marriage between his son's daughter (fn. 4) and Mons. De Gwys's son. Hol., pp. 3. Add.
23 July.	906. Aguilar to Charles V.
Add. MS. 28,592, f. 145. B. M.	Wrote 30 June and 3rd inst. Proposed marriages for Victoria Farnese, and for the prince of Orange. The Pope has letters from the Constable of France that although the negotiations for peace had ceased there would always remain a good amity; and that the duke of Cleves was not making an agreement about Gueldres; indeed, he had sent a person to the king of France to communicate to him all that concerned that matter. Also [news of] the sentence the king of England had given against Cramuel, his favourite, because he conspired to make himself king and had offered the Lutherans, without his master's knowledge, to conform to their opinions and unite with them. His Holiness thinks that if the King has any good intention of returning [to the Church], he would now have an opportunity, by means of the Emperor imputing the fault of the past to Cromwell and his deceits.

[24 July.]	908. Henry VIII. to Clerk and Wotton.
R. O. St. P. viii. 403.	Before answering their letters from Cleves of 13 July, wherein they declare at length their conference with the Duke and his Council, will explain what has been done here since the departure of you, the bp. of Bath. According to the determination agreed upon by the Council, “which we signified unto you by our letters of the — (blank), on Tuesday, 6th inst, the nobles and commons made suit to the King to commit the examination of his marriage to the clergy. Sent incontinently the lord Chancellor, the duke of Suffolk, the lord Privy Seal, the bp. of Winchester, the Treasurer of the Household, the Controller and the Chancellor of the Augmentations to the lady Anne, who at length was contented with the proposal. The clergy debated all Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and their sentence was declared to Parliament on Saturday, and also signified to the lady Anne by the duke of Suffolk, lord Privy Seal, Wriothesley, and Riche. She agreed thereto, “confessing the integrity of her body,” and refusing mother and brother and all who would move her to the contrary, committed herself wholly to the King to remain as his servant and subject as she then wrote. Signified to her that she would be honourably entertained as the King's sister, and sent her a token, for which she sent a letter of thanks confirming her former letters and subscribed, “sister and servant.” [In which letters she mentioned her former agreement to abide the determination of the clergy with special mention of “the state of her body remaining entire for any act of carnal knowledge.” These letters with a token were brought to the King on the Sunday night, and upon the Monday were published in both houses of Parliament]. (fn. 5) Parliament has confirmed the act of the clergy. After the Act was passed in both houses, Suffolk, Privy Seal, and Wriothesley devised with her for the establishment of her household, and [on Friday the — (blank) inst.] she dismissed those who waited on her as a queen. She is still at Richmond, in good cheer. Other particulars and the King's liberality are shown by the credence committed to his servant — (blank) whom he now sends with letters to the duke of Cleves. (fn. 6) Signified to Lady Anne the Duke's answer made to you and, by letters, to us, that he would be content with justice; and she thereupon writes to tell her brother that she is satisfied, and this bearer, Olisleger's nephew, has credence on the matter. Sends copies of her letter and the King's to her brother, and the credence. Considering the conformity (unexpected when Clerk left) of the Lady Anne and seeing by their letters that Clerk deferred not to open to the Duke the King's benevolence to him in case he were conformable: directs him to evade the offers he made, as the money which should be given to him by way of gratuity should rather be bestowed on the Lady, and the cost of her traduction to Calais is recompensed by her present endowment. His amity is, however, to be retained. His referring his final answer to consultation with his kinsmen and states, gives a very good reason for departing from the offers to him. Looks daily for their letters showing how the Duke takes the sentence and meanwhile as far as may be, gives directions (set out at great length) what to say to the Duke. They are to repair to him with Olisleger's nephew, who shall first declare his credence; and after that they shall deliver Lady Anne's letter and declare the causes of separation as in the King's letter to the Duke and the letter which the bps. of Durham and Winchester now write to them. If he is mild, gentle, and desirous of quietness and silence in the matter, with a demonstration that he would gladly have something for his own profit, they must not put him in despair thereof, but refer to the King, and enter into capitulations for mutual aid. If he shows himself intractable and high couraged, Clerk shall say he was not sent to render an account of the King's just proceedings, but friendly to communicate them, and desire licence to depart, while Wotton shall remain. Corrected draft, pp. 20.

	909. The Divorce from Anne of Cleves.
R. O. St. P., i. 635.	Statement of the King's case; that he asked for and was promised a discharge of the precontract with the eldest son of Lorrayn before the lady's traduction into England; that he renewed the demand, as Oslyger knows, on her arrival at Greenwich, and a new promise was given of which notarial instruments were made “which ye have seen;” and for want of this discharge he abstained from consummating the marriage. Olesleger and the Offtmayster offered to lie in hostage meanwhile. No discharge was sent, but only an instrument which did “intrike it more.” As there had been so much sticking and so many promises, it was evident that “they” had no better discharge; and as the condition for the clearing of the espousals had a day prefixed, (fn. 7) which was past, the clergy adjudged that the failure of this condition relieved the King from his promise made at the solemnization. The lawfulness of the marriage might have been always called in question, whenever the son of Lorraine might make his claim by the laws of the Bishop of Rome, who, as the King's mortal enemy “would soon have given ear hereunto.” If any allege that in the solemnization the King consented, it is to be answered that a conditional consent is no consent unless the condition is fulfilled. Moreover, a matrimony non consummate is made void by a second matrimony consummate as the bishops of Rome, when it suited them, have judged. The Church of England has also considered other great causes not to be published. The Lady was content that the Church should judge her cause, and now that it has decided, is well content to use her liberty. Pp. 4. Many passages underlined and a few corrections in Clerk's hand.
24 July.	910. Cromwell to [the Council].
R. O. St. P., i. 642.	Has read the French king's letter to the King, touching Mons. de Rochepot, hinting that injustice has been done by Cromwell's means, and that he has a great part of the prize. Never showed favour otherwise than appertained to justice, which was that Easterlings in league with the French king and robbed by his subjects might have justice here as the goods were in English ports. The French proctor agreed that the case should be tried here by the Admiralty, and departed, and a French advocate was sent hither, who was satisfied with the order taken and also departed. The ambassador now here then made suit to have the matter determined in France. A consultation was held at Guildford, and it was agreed if the French king would send a commissary to a place indifferent, Henry would do the same. My lords of Norfolk, Privy Seal, Durham, and Winchester, were present. My lord of London was ambassador, and fully instructed of the whole matter. Denies that he had or was promised any part of the prize. The Tower, 24 July. Hol., pp. 2. Endd.: The French king's letter touching Mons. de la Rochepot with the earl of Essex's answer.
24 July.	911. Card. Farnese to the Bp. of Modena. (fn. 8)
Laemmer, 292.	* * * The Pope is grieved to hear his opinion of the probable issue of the Diet; for any concession to the Lutherans of things esteemed to be de jure positivo would put in doubt resolutions taken by Councils, and, unless made with the participation of other nations, would be a scandal to Christendom. Moreover, it would be a bad example to give in Germany, in presence of their Majesties (the Emperor and king of the Romans), now when the king of England has taken a turn in the right direction, by punishing Cramuel for the countenance given to the Lutherans, and has in his Parliament determined some Lutheran articles (now in question) conformably with the Catholic faith. * * * * Rome, 24 July 1540.

25 July.	912. Lord Justice and Council of Ireland to Henry VIII.
R. O. St. P., iii. 223.	At the departing of lord Leonard Gray, late Deputy, the land was left in great hazard. Hurts done by the Tooles, Cavenaghes, OCchonor, the Kellys, OMolaughlyn, OMelmoy, Magoughegan, and ODoyn. OBrene, ONeyle, ODonell, and their adherents appointed a general meeting at Fenaa beside Fower, intending to overrun the Pale. Great preparations to prevent that meeting, which the Irishmen perceiving, refrained from coming to the meeting. Concluded, however, to do some exploit, and entered and burned OChonnor's country. ONeyle writes fair letters, but is “a mere fraudulent Irishman, a pure Geraldine.” A new hosting upon OCchonor, with 14 days' victuals, appointed for 9 Aug. Lately Brereton had a letter from ONeyle showing how he “beareth” OCchonor. Neither ONeyle nor his predecessors ever meddled with Leinster affairs before. He should have fair words till the pride of these other traitors be abated. Dublin, 25 July 32 Henry VIII. Signed: Wyllyam Brereton—John Alen—George Dublin.—Edwarde Miden.—J.

R. O.	On the 23rd sent from Loviers a packet of letters to the deputy of Calais to be forwarded to the King. Wrote that the ambassadors of Cleves had taken their leave of the French king, without any perfect conclusion, but has since received the enclosed letter from Thos. Barnaby (fn. 10) at Paris about them. This morning a young man asked Wallop's steward if he could speak with him, saying that it was he who had been in prison for so long in Paris, and he wanted help to return to England, and that he was lodged at “one Mons. de Charlez Viderz house, being an advocate.” “This is he that calleth himself Blanche Rose, (fn. 11) of whom Mr. Bryan can tell you enough.” Asks what he shall do concerning him.

26 July.	915. Ormond to Henry VIII.
R. O. St. P., iii., 225.	On the 20th inst. landed at Waterford. That day his brother entered the Kavenaghes' country, and he followed next day with the men of Kilkenny and thereabouts. Continued five or six days burning and destroying until he had the hostages of most part of Odrone, except Donyll McCahir, a wild young man, adherent of Tirlaugh OToole. This Tirlaugh aided the Kavenaghes, but seeing they could not prevail sent to Ormond to conclude a peace such as Norfolk and other deputies have concluded with him, saying he durst never trust lord Leonard, the late Deputy. Must now leave the Kavenaghes, as he hears OBrene (who, being “crased” all the while Ormond was with the King, could not assist OConnor before) is coming to the borders of Casshell next Thursday, and he must have his retinue ready to resist any invasion. Donough OBrene, the late OBrene's son, comes over Shannon at the same time, and has sent word he will be on the King's side. Mr. Brereton, the justice, has done great services, especially in a late journey upon OConor. James of Desmond comes to the borders of Casshell. I shall show him, as your Majesty willed me, that upon his submission you will be his good lord. Encloses a letter from him. Garreghkill in ODrone, 26 July. Signed. Add.
26 July.	916. Manuell Cyrne to John III. of Portugal.
R. O.	Writes the news, as Fernão Dalurez advised him to do. The ambassador writes of the licence which the king of Scotland says he has given to the family of Robert Breton (Barton) to arm [ships] against the Portuguese. Hears of no ship out as yet. So old a quarrel ought to be finished. Negociation of the king of the Romans with the Lutherans. There is strange news from England—that the King has left the sister of the duke of Cleves whom he married in January last, and of whom Cyrne sent an account when she passed by here. The cause is not yet certain; some say that there was a previous contract with the duke of Lorraine, some that the King would marry an English lady, niece of the duke of Norfolk, daughter of his brother, and that she is already with child. Thinks there must be some other secret reason. Master Cramuell is now in the castle of London, condemned to death. Some say he was a traitor, some a heretic, and some both. The captain of Calais and the viceroy of Ireland are also arrested. News of the Emperor's proceedings in Flanders. 26 July 1540, from Antwerp. Portuguese. Modern transcript, pp. 7.

27 July.	918. Deputy and Council of Calais to Henry VIII.
R. O. St. P. viii., 411.	The French king having fortified Arde and furnished it with men of war, and the Frenchmen having three years past made a passage from Arde to Calais by Cowebridge (instead of the old way by Newnham Bridge) by which they could convey in one night their greatest ordnance into any part of the Marches, and overrun a great part of them, wrote before that trenches should be cut athwart it, but have had no answer. The case is urgent. The bulwark and other works at Beauchamp's tower will be finished in five or six weeks after Michaelmas.

27 July.	919. Lord Maltravers to Henry VIII.
R. O.	Since the Council's letters were written, has heard that by pretext of the bridge and passage mentioned therein, much cattle and “bease” is conveyed out of the Pale. Yesterday Sir Edward Ringeley asked Wm. Starkie, late yeoman of the chamber to lord Lisley, “what he knew by the said lord Lisley.” He replied that the worst point that ever he knew was that while certain Frenchmen were lodging with him at the Staple Hall, after supper he opened the chest wherein the keys lie and showed them to the French men, saying, “These be the keys of all the gates of this town.” Doubted what might be his meaning therein, and therefore informs the King. Since coming hither has found all matters in good order and no need of administration of justice, except the discharge on Saturday last of John Hinberie, soldier here, for perjury. Relates the case, showing that Hinberie was imprisoned half a year past by the Council but released by Lisle. Two merchant men banished by the Emperor out of Gawnt and one out of Russeler have been here these fifteen weeks, being commanded by the earl of Southsex and Sir John Gage not to depart till the King's pleasure be known.

28 July.	921. Convocation of Canterbury.
Wilkins, iii. 850.	The provincial synod assembled 14 April. The first two sessions were occupied upon the matter of a “prolocutor,” Ric. Gwent being elected and presented. In the next two was debated the spontaneous offer to the King of 4s. in the pound besides the annual tenths. After this the matter of the nullity of the marriage between Henry VIII. and Anne of Cleves was proposed and the archbishops, bishops, deans, archdeacons, and proctors of the clergy of either province were convoked by the King to discuss it. The principal names, as appears by the register of this convocation, were the archbishops of Canterbury and York; the bps. of London, Durham, Winchester, Lincoln, Carlisle, St. Davids, Llandaff, Hereford, Worcester, St. Asaph, Rochester, Bangor, and the elect of Westminster; Ric. Gwent, archd. of London, John Incent, dean of St. Paul's, Peter Vannes, dean of Sarum, John Taylor, dean of Lincoln, H. Williams, dean of Lichfield, Simon Haynes, dean of Exeter, Ric. Layton, dean of York, Edm. Cranmer archd. of Canterbury, Ric. Rawson, archd. of Essex, Ric. Coren, archd. of Colchester and Oxford, Thos. Baugh, archd. of Surrey, Maurice Griffith, archd. of Rochester, John Worthyall, archd. of Chichester, Polydor Virgilius, archd. of Wells, Ric. Street, archd. of Derby, David Poole, archd. of Salop, Thos. Winter, archd. of Cornwall, John Heneage, archd. of Taunton, Griffith Leison, archd. of Carmarthen, Thos. Westby, archd. of York, Thos. Magnus, archd. of the East Riding, John Langrich, archd. of Cleveland, Robt. Davel, archd. of Northumberland, Wm. Holgil, archd. of Carlisle, &c. The process finished, it is doubtful whether anything else was done. The King's writ of dissolution as given in Cranmer's register is as follows:— Writ (recited), addressed to the abp. of Canterbury, to dissolve at St. Paul's, this very day, the convocation assembled there by the King's writ on the 13th April.

Hagenau “feria quarta post Jacobi anno 40°.” Subscribed as from the princes and delegates who appeared at Hagenoe “ad quintum, nonas, Junii” (corrected from “Julii.”) ii. “Summa eorum que in Conventu Haganoe acta sunt.”
	1. By the king of the Romans, electors, and Princes who assembled at Hagenoe it was treated with the Protestants that they should restore the goods of those who had been before in peaceful possession, or allow them to be put in sequestration till the religious differences were settled either by a general council or a national synod. Or that they should answer at the ordinary tribunal of the Chamber to those who sued for church goods taken away. 2. That the pacification of Nuremberg should benefit only those who gave in their names at the time of the diet at Augsburg, not those who have accepted the confession subsequently. 3. That hereafter they should admit no one into their league. 4. That they should keep the peace in the Empire under the penalties allotted to peace-breakers. To the 1st the Protestants replied that as the goods were turned to godly uses according to the Scriptures and to old canons, it would be wrong to apply them again to impiety, and sequestration would impede the ministry of the Word; that they had already refused the jurisdiction of the Chamber as partial, &c. To the 2nd, that the decree of Nuremberg was granted to all who agreed with them in religion as shown by the Emperor's rescript given at Savilion. To the 3rd, that they cannot honestly repel those who would embrace true religion. To the 4th, that they are always ready to keep peace, and will give securities if necessary. In Mont's hand.

29 July.	925. The Divorce from Anne of Cleves.
R. O.	Notarial instrument recording that, 29 July 32 Hen. VIII. (in a certain lofty and ornate chamber within the honor of Hampton Court, in presence of John lord Russell, K.G., Great Admiral, Ant. Wingfeld, vice-chamberlain and captain of the King's pensioners, and of Ant. Huse and Thos. Argall, notaries), Wm. earl of Southampton, K.G., chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Privy Seal, and Sir Thos. Wriothesley, chief secretary, and (in a garden adjoining the King's house called Parlande Park, in the parish of Langley Marres, Bucks, in presence of John Marbury and Thos. Holme and the aforesaid notaries) Charles duke of Suffolk, great master of the Household, deposed upon oath as follows:— ii. The declaration of certain their proceedings with the lady Anne of Cleves. After they and Sir Ric. Riche had been with the lady Anne, at Richmount, 11 July (at which time she wrote a letter to the King declaring her whole mind, subscribed “your Majesty's most humble sister and servant Anne, daughter of Cleves,” she writing the word “sister” upon comfort that the King would so accept her if she persisted in the declaration of the truth, “of which discourse there is already an instrument made apart”), the King sent the said Duke, Earl, and Sir Thomas again to her, still at Richemount, 14 July, with his token, as to his dearest sister by adoption, and his letters of the 12th, as follows (recited):— “Right dear and right entirely beloved sister,” by the relation of the lord Master, lord Privy Seal and others of our Council lately addressed unto you we perceive the continuance of your conformity, which before was reported, and by your letters is eftsoons testified. We take your wise and honourable proceedings therein in most thankful part, as it is done in respect of God and his truth, and, continuing your conformity, you shall find us a perfect friend, content to repute you as our dearest sister. We shall, within five or six days, when our Parliament ends, determine your state after such honourable sort as you shall have good cause to be content, [we] minding to endow you with 4,000l. of yearly revenue. We have appointed you two houses, that at Richemont where you now lie, and the other at Blechinglegh, not far from London, that you may be near us and, as you desire, able to repair to our Court to see us, as we shall repair to you. When Parliament ends, we shall, in passing, see and speak with you, and you shall more largely see what a friend you and your friends have of us. Requires her to be “quiet and merry.” Westm., 12 July 32 Hen. VIII. “Thus subscribed, Your loving brother and friend, H.R.” Declared to her how the King took her proceedings in good part and sent her, “as to his sister and none otherwise,” a token and also his own letters; and delivered the token, being 500 mks. in gold, and the letters. Having read the letters, she gave the King thanks and, of herself, declared her mind to ensue the purport of her former letters and maintain the truth, both touching “the integrity and cleanness of her body,” and all the rest. For further testimony she sent his Highness a ring for a token and wrote him a letter in her own tongue, the translation of which follows:— The letter of 16 July recited at length (See No. 891). On their presenting her letters and token, the King sent the Duke, Earl and Sir Thomas to Richmond, 17 July, to discharge the officers and servants who attended on her as Queen, and appoint and swear others to serve her as the King's sister. She took leave openly of such as departed, and welcomed those presented to her, declaring, of herself, how bound she was to the King, and that “she would be found no woman by inconstancy and mutability, though all the world should move her to the contrary, neither for mother, brother nor none other person living,” adding that she would send the King all letters she received from her brother, mother or other of her kin. Declared this to the King, who sent them again, 21 July, to see her household fully established and present certain jewels and other things of great value which he gave her, and also to show her certain letters he had received from the Duke, her brother, and the bp. of Bath, his ambassador with the said Duke. She thanked the King for participating the letters to her, and as, by the Bishop's letter, it seemed that Olisleger feared she was not well treated, she wrote in her own language to her brother, as follows:— The letter of 21 July recited (in English), without the date. See No. 898. When this was written, learning that it should be conveyed by a nephew of Olisleger's, being the King's servant, she had him called in, and desired him to commend her to her brother, and say she was merry and well entreated. This she did with such alacrity and pleasant gesture that he may well testify “that he found her not miscontented.” Then, after she had dined, she sent the King “the ring delivered unto her at their pretensed marriage, desiring that it might be broken in pieces as a thing which she knew of no force or value.” On the 24th July, having received a letter from the Duke her brother, written in his own hand upon knowledge of this matter, she sent it to the King, who perused and returned it. The said Duke, Earl, and Sir Thomas declare that all the above is true, as they shall answer at the Day of Judgment.

29 July.	926. Marillac to Montmorency.
R. O. Kaulek, 207. (Almost the whole text.)	[London], 29 July:—Wrote last on the 21st. Rochepot's affair remains in the same terms, although the final answer is promised every day. Mr. Thomas Cromwell, heretofore condemned by Parliament, this morning was beheaded in the usual place for such executions. Grace was made to him upon the method of his death, for his condemnation was to a more painful and ignominious penalty. With him was beheaded the lord of Hongrefort, aged about 49 years, attainted of sodomy, of having forced his own daughter, and having practised magic and invocation of devils. Heard after midday that Dr. Barnes and some others shall be burnt; and will detain this until evening, so as to inform you of the whole “who are about 42.” It is thought that this same week there will be other executions of those condemned by Parliament, and who are not comprised in the general pardon this King has granted. All had sentence of death or perpetual imprisonment at the King's pleasure. Encloses note of the names of some besides those executed, who deserve to be known. The brother of the duke of Ferrara, “le seigneur Teko,” (fn. 12) after sojourning here seven days, and being feasted and shown the King's houses, such as Hampton Court and Greenwich, left yesterday evening, to return to the Emperor. This King only gave him two good hackneys, as he did to the prince of Salerno, a sign that he did not come here to negociate. The new ambassador (fn. 13) of the Emperor, of whom Marillac has written, arrived six days ago, and found a very meagre reception at this Court, where, in truth, he is scarcely liked, as the King, speaking of him to Marillac, seemed not to hold him in good esteem, and Norfolk, who now has chief management of affairs, clearly shows he loves him little, saying to Marillac that he will no longer have his Cromwell to guarantee him in the follies he formerly attempted. Moreover, the poor man is so broken down with long illness that people think he is rather come to make his last testament in England than [to do] great service to his master, who has sent him on this charge, knowing that elsewhere he was useless, being unable to go either on foot or on horseback; and therefore, too, he is lodged near Marillac, beside the river, so as to be able to go to this Court by water. Cannot omit to notice the courtesy of the said ambassador in advertising Marillac of his arrival as soon as he landed (although he concealed it from the others, even from the ambassador, his predecessor, to the surprise of everyone), excusing himself for not visiting Marillac before speaking to this King, to satisfy English ceremony. As soon as he had had audience, he came straight to the writer's lodging, thus forestalling the office Marillac intended to do to him, and said he was charged by the Emperor to communicate all he did here. Replied he had charge from Francis to do the like, as he had done to his (the ambassador's) predecessor. However, the said ambassador told me nothing but that he had saluted this King and presented letters of credence. Since then they have frequently visited each other, to show the amity between their masters. Hopes soon to send notice of what was done in this Parliament, which closed two days ago. French.

Add. MS. 32,646 f. 130. B. M. St. P., v. 182.	As a result of his pains taken to redress and order affairs on the Borders, there have, for a long time past, been no complaints of importance. Took advantage of this tranquility to visit his Isles; and during his absence Henry's officers of the East Marches refused redress to his officers until they should first make redress for a hawk alleged to have been taken out of the bounds of Berwick, and for certain deer. His officers referred the matter to his Council, saying that such questions for wild fowls or beasts were unheard of, and respite was taken. Allows that Henry's officer only does his duty, but thinks that this is a light matter, for there are no such pleasures, as hawks and the like, in Scotland that are not at Henry's disposal.

[31 July.]	930. Henry VIII. to Wallop and Carne.
R. O.	Since his last advertisement of affairs here, things have occurred which are to be declared to the French king and others. Upon the petition of Parliament being declared to lady Anne of Cleves, she agreed to the decision of the matter by the clergy, who gave sentence that the marriage was not vailable. If causes are asked for, they may say, as they did to the cardinal of Ferrare, that the King would not do anything that could not lawfully be bidden by, and it is sufficient that the cause is known to those who had the examination thereof, who in this case are fully to be trusted. Lady Anne approved the sentence, confessing the integrity of her body, and refusing all who would move her to the contrary, and desired to remain here as a servant and subject. Informed her that she could not remain Queen, but, for the honour of her house and respect for herself, he would entertain her as a sister in honourable estate; and sent her a token, for which she wrote a gentle letter of thanks. Has assigned her lands, with two goodly houses and an allowance of 500l., a year, amounting in all to 5,000 marks a year. She is quietly established in her own house as the King's sister, being resolved not to return, as she herself has written to her brother. Sends a small memorial for their better information. Having received their letters of the 13th, (fn. 16) which state that the ambassadors of Cleve are departed and recount the conversation of Wallop's secretary with the queen of Navarre, desires Carne to take leave of the French king and return, and also to take leave of the queen of Navarre, Wallop asking her to tell Carne the matter which she mentioned as something which the King would be contented to hear, and which would make him laugh.

R. O.	Was entertained by the lord of Barro at a pleasant house of his a mile outside the town. He said the Emperor called him always his Englishman. He assured Pate that the Emperor entirely loves the King, and trusted that the families of England and Burgundy would continue friends against all adversaries for ever. He pressed Pate to banquet next evening with the lady Regent, at his house, and he would commend him to her, as he did Mr. Wiat; but he excused himself. The Prince of Salerno spreads an honourable report of the King. The Hay of Hollond, 31 July. Hol. p. 1. Add. Endd.
31 July.	932. Pate to Norfolk.
R. O. St. P. viii. 412.	Heard in Antwerp that the people said the dissolution of the King's last marriage had alienated the hearts of the Electors, but that, being wise, he had “contravailed” the Emperor or French king in their place. Heard also that one of the King's council said that the marriage, if heard in an indifferent place, could not but be legitimate. There is a report, probably untrue, that Andrew Doria has been either slain or taken by Barbarosse. The lord of Barrow tells him that many goodly and rich copes have come from England to sell, causing rumours that there were no masses there. Being sick at Breda, sent for a priest to say mass in his chamber, who was surprised at Englishmen still hearing masses. The lord of Barrow sent him a present of wine before supping with him, and said that the bp. of Rome and Venetians were worthy to be exploded out of Christendom for the peace they made this year with the Turk. He offered his niece to the Emperor in marriage with a million of gold, but “I think he more esteemeth his honour than to couple himself with such one.” The nuncio sent concerning the case between his nephew and the Emperor's bastard daughter has had no audience yet. Part of his commission is to ask the Emperor not to succour the Perugian exiles. Hay, Zelonde, Friselonde, and Utrecht pay as much to the Emperor as Brabont, viz., 600,000 ducats. He has been ill of gout and tertian fever. The duke of Cleves has been hunting near Utrecht. Some think he wishes to resort to the Emperor for the conclusion of a marriage, though it is said here he will have the king of Navarre's daughter. The council of Almaine is dissolved, and nothing concluded, the king of the Romans desiring either licence to depart to Vienna, or to call a Council Imperial under the Emperor's authority. The bp. of Trevers is dead. The bp. of Londres (fn. 17) has gone to treat with a town near Denmark, or else hearken how the nobles of Germany are inclined towards what was moved in the last Council. Has been sick of an ague ever since he left Bruges. Considers the air very contagious, as most of the Emperor's train here are very sick. The bp. of Agregentine, (fn. 18) in Sicily, who is coming to England, is “an honourable prelate, a personage of an humble spirit, of great humanity, of honest learning, and without all fuke and craft.” Being Marquis de Terra Nova he resigned it, upon a scruple of conscience, to his second brother, Constable of the said Isle, who is in great favour with the Emperor.

Ib., f. 95. B. M.	2. “Instructions to our weilbelovit familiar clerk and servitor, Maister George Hay, to be schewin in oure name to the Popis halynes.” He is to show to the Pope the contents of the first instructions sent with him at his departure, and labour to obtain the effect thereof. The King thinks the brief he has received in favour of Maister Robt. Wauchop touching the abbey of Dryburgh, very strange, seeing that the Pope has been moved by inopportune solicitations to act contrary to James' privileges. Considering his conduct and obedience to the Apostolic See in this troublous time of pullulant heresies, thinks that he deserves the increase of his privileges and not their diminution. As a final answer to all the Pope's briefs, James will in no wise consent that his Holiness should provide the abbey of Dryburgh otherwise than to Thos. Erskyn, whom he nominated first thereto. Begs the Pope not to be abused nor circumvented by the clamour and importunity of Wauchop. The premises are to be declared also to cardinals Carpi and Ghinucci and the King's other friends. He is to complain to the Pope of the cardinal of Trani having taken provision of the parsonage of Glasgow to the injury of “our familiar clerk,” Henry Sinclair, specially by the reservation of the fruits, which the Cardinal holds “dependand upon our said servitour to trouble him quhen he thinkes tyme.” The Pope must cause the Cardinal to renounce all claim thereto, for the King will not allow any stranger to hold a benefice without his licence. Doubts not the Cardinal will defend Duncan, who has been very troublesome during the reigns of the King and his father. Hay must take good heed that Wauchop attempts nothing against the King's privileges, specially touching the deanery of Aberdeen, which the King has provided to his secretary's brother, leaving the provostry of Trinity College to the almoner. Wauchop does not deserve to hold any benefices in Scotland. Holyroodhouse, 31 July 1540. Pp. 3, copy.

	943. Anne of Cleves.
R. O.	Form of consent to be given by the duke of Cleves to the divorce of his sister as decreed by Convocation and accepted by herself. ii. Speech (beginning “Reverende Domine, etc.”) to be delivered by the bp. of Bath [to the Councillors of the duke of Cleves?] if the Duke refuse his consent:—Regrets these delays. If the Duke had given us a hearing from the first you would have had the lady whom you so greatly desire here present or at least not far off on the way hither. The difficulties raised here have already so influenced the King as to make some change, and these news will doubtless make more. We have found you so intent on consultations and on quarrels with friends that even from the first we should have expected what now proves to be the case. These things have compelled the King to adopt a new policy, which I greatly regret. But I have discharged my mission and must ask my congé. Lat., pp. 3.
R. O.	2. Speech (apparently an alternative to the preceding, to be delivered jointly by Clerk and Wotton) the same at the commencement down to the passage about “the difficulties raised here.” You will ask, what difficulties? Did not the Duke say he would be content with justice? This showed little conformity, for an enemy might say it. It seemed only an excuse for meanwhile consulting other people. This has made the King adopt new plans. Defend their writing to the King to this effect as they thought it would make the King more anxious to satisfy the Duke. Matters turned out otherwise, and the King, seeing difficulties, has determined to adopt, another plan, viz., to keep the lady in England. Haste was required as the approbation of Parliament, the dissolution of which was at hand, was necessary. The King therefore made new proposals to the Lady, not without inconvenience to himself, assigning her 1,000l. a year, more than he would have done if she had returned. The Duke ought not to feel aggrieved, nor to despair of the kindness of the King, who has shown his desire to content him by sending ambassadors and letters and offering friendship and treaties. Would like to know the Duke's intention about a reciprocal league. The King is willing to promise pay for 3,000 foot for 2 or 3 months in the case of invasion. Ask what the Duke will do in return. Lat., pp. 4. In the same hand as the preceding, with one correction in Clerk's hand.
R. O.	3. Heads of a speech referring to the terms of the treaty, and making similar complaints, with intimation that the King has changed his purpose and made a new arrangement with the lady for her retention in his kingdom, treating her far more liberally than when she was to return, both by increasing her dote to 1,000l. and otherwise. But the Duke need not despair of the King's benignity, for we expect his Majesty's final answer every day. Meanwhile we desire to know the Duke's mind as to a mutual league, in which the King is content to help him with 3,000 foot against invasion; what aid the Duke will give in return. If we be asked to name our demands, we must reply that we know not what to ask of them, as we know not the Duke's resources. The Prince's good will towards the King is not to be despaired of. Lat., pp. 3. In Clerk's hand. Injured by damp.
