August 1525



16 Aug. R. T. 137. R. O.	1573. LOUISE OF SAVOY to the CHANCELLOR OF ALENÇON and DE VAULX, her Ambassadors in England.
	Has received their letters, stating the reason of their remaining so long both with the king of England and his commissioners. Approves of their proceedings. The publication of the peace is very necessary. Sends the power which they requested. The Chancellor is writing to them about other matters, which they must get altered, if possible. Forwards letters from the King (Francis) to the king of England and the cardinal of York, who are to be assured that hereafter the King will send the instrument (celle) of which the ambassadors have transmitted the draft (la forme).
	According to the Cardinal's advice, Louise has informed Francis of the conclusion of the treaty of peace, and prayed him to make no agreement or promise for his release, to the prejudice of his kingdom or of his honor, and, above all, not to surrender any of his territories. The duchess of Alençon is going to Spain in order to make known to Francis the Cardinal's advice. All Italy is opposed to the aggrandisement of the Emperor, and determined to assert its liberty. Will conduct the Duchess as far as the bridge of St. Esprit, and remain there to foster the affairs of Italy, especially the negotiations with the Pope and the Venetians, who desire the king of England should become the head of the league.
	Whatever may have been reported to the cardinal of York, this realm is in a very peaceful condition. The dispute between the Grand Council and the Parliament of Paris was not detrimental to the authority of Francis or of Louise. Sends a commission for De Vaulx to pay the sums due by the treaty of peace. He is to treat with the duke of Suffolk and queen Mary touching the dowry. Desires that the dowry should be under the control (gouvernance) of the seneschal of Armagnac. "La partie des généraulx" is very unreasonable. Wishes to know how it came to be agreed on. Will send for Bernard Salviati, and despatch him to England, if possible. Would be greatly pleased if this first payment were made on the day of the publication of the peace, by means of the merchant of whom they have written. Tournon, 16 Aug.

18 Aug. Vit. B. VII. 183. B. M.	1575. CAMPEGGIO to [WOLSEY].
	Cannot allow this courier to go without a letter to Wolsey, though there is but little to write. Is going shortly to a city where private business will keep him till the beginning of next month, and when that is settled will hasten to Rome, where he hopes to be able to serve the King and Wolsey.
	Knows that Wolsey hears all the news from Spain. It is reported that the King has made fresh treaties with France. The Imperialists are said to be leading their forces to the Abdua (Adda), and to be holding reviews, hearing which the Venetians also keep their forces on their frontier. Ferdinand is raising foot to quiet the remaining insurrection, but many think they will be sent to join the army in Italy. There is wonderful news from Pannonia (Hungary), "consilii [re]gii mutatione;" that the Palatine is dismissed, and the Chancellor, Treasurer, and certain "publicani" cast into prison; that the King and the king of Poland wished to meet Ferdinand at Olmutz, in September, but it appeared he would not go. The Suabian league has restored many things to the Church from the insurgents. The card. of Salzburg is still besieged. The dukes of Bavaria and the league were going to his assistance.

18 Aug. R. T. 137. R. O.	1578. BRINON and JOACHIM to LOUISE OF SAVOY.
	Have been twice with the Cardinal, the bishop of Hail (Ely) and others. On the first occasion all that had been negociated was again reviewed; viz., the principal treaty, to which, in the article about liberation of hostages, they have added, at our request, deliverance of all prisoners of war, subjects of either king, except the prince of Orange, and others of like quality; also the treaty of obligation, on which we have at last gained our point of discharging you from the obligation they required to obtain the ratification of Francis after his deliverance; also the article of the duke of Albany, from which we have got a clause expunged, about the government of Scotland, which appeared to be very rigorous; also the forms of ratifications promised, of the princes and towns, in which they insist on a clause being added, that each of them shall procure that Francis, two months after coming to his liberty, shall deliver new letters of obligation to the king of England; which we think should not be refused. Wolsey has represented to them that their powers are insufficient, and advises that new powers be given to them, similar to those of the Admiral, the bishop of Paris, and Villeroy in the last treaties. Wolsey wishes Louise's confirmation to be divided into five letters, viz., of the treaties of peace; of obligation; of her promise to get Francis's ratification; of her promise to get Francis to continue payment; and of her promise to pay, by herself and her successors, the sum agreed on. Think three documents should be enough. To put an end to disputes, have, subject to her pleasure, and by way of memorial, signed the treaties of peace and of obligation of depredations; and the article of Albany, with the minute of ratifications of the princes and towns. Also, to prevent further changes of purpose, have got the king of England, Wolsey, the dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk, the archbishop of Canterbury, and others, to sign the two principal treaties, under promise from us to keep them secret till everything be completed. Besides what was granted before the rupture of Italy, there is only 299,542 crs., at 35 sous the cr.,—a less sum than you have understood.
	On their second interview, understanding that the abstinence of war had not been published in England,—that, notwithstanding its publication in France, prizes had been taken off the coast of Normandy,—and that, according to the agreements, the treaty of peace was not to be published until ratifications had been delivered, which was to be in three months, we entered on the discussion of a truce to last till 1 Dec., viz., during the three months of the ratifications, and over. This we have arranged and signed, subject to your pleasure. A difficulty was made about the last article, touching couriers and ambassadors, which is altogether to their advantage; but matters are so far advanced that we thought it better not to refuse them. Have also granted provisionally that the English shall have safe-conducts whenever they wish to send through France. Have detained this messenger for two days, awaiting the publication of the truce, which has been signed, and will be brought to London tomorrow for publication. Understand that the Comptroller, John Danse (?), is sent to Dover to dismiss (pour licencier) all the ships of war, and that the captain of Guisnes is also despatched to disband the extra garrison of Guisnes and of Pont de Myeullant, so that the truce will be published tomorrow without fail. I have sent notice to Du Biez by the bearer. London, 18 Aug.
	P.S.—Since writing, the truce has been published in London, with the usual solemnities.

19 Aug. R. O.	1579. BRINON and JOACHIM to WOLSEY.
	The French continually complain to them that they are deceived by the abstinence of war proclaimed by Wolsey; they are daily spoiled of their goods and ships, and dare not resist through fear of the penalty. Enclose a letter just received from the seneschal of Boulogne, asking for restitution of ships and goods, and the publication of the truce. A delay will cause much harm, and it will be only just for him to remedy it. London, 19 Aug.
	Have just heard of the publication of the truce at London, at which they are much rejoiced. Signed.

	... at the repair of Fitzwilliam into these parts ... sufficient instructions concerning ... discharge of the crews at Guisnes. Will apply himself to it with all dexterity. Is thankful to Wolsey for having procured to him the reversion of the lord chamberlainship, and that he shall have the castle of [Guisnes] in the same manner as Sir William Fitzwilliam held it. Hopes he will not be deprived of the advantages he derives from the treasurership, considering his great poverty, with out some equivalent to keep him out of debt. The treasurership was held by the late lord Vaux with the farm of Marke and Oye, which the King now proposes to keep in his hands. Begs he may have the little grange, &c., held by Wyndebank before Vaux, with all its appurtenances and rights. His income does not exceed 300 or 400 marks a year. The abstinence of war was proclaimed yesterday at Calais. Hears that the King has granted Sir. Rob. Jerningham the [captainship] of Newnhambridge. Calais, 23 Aug. Signed.

His foot is very painful, and puts him to great cost. Was forced to stay at Bolduke four days after my Lady left on Our Lady's eve. She has since been travelling hither by land, and arrived yesterday afternoon,—Wingfield, who came by water, arriving in the forenoon. Met her as she entered the palace, and conveyed her from her litter to her chamber. Asked if she had received any news from Spain, Italy, or Almain since he saw her. She said, None; and was surprised Wm. des Barres, her secretary, was so long in coming from Spain through France. She said John de la Sawte had returned from England the day before, and that, though the post she had last sent to Spain had been detained eleven days at Wolsey's desire, she had not heard that the Emperor's ambassador in England had been made privy to anything treated by the president of Rouen and John Joachim, but she was glad to know the King and Wolsey were in good health, for she had no doubt all secret matters were so well handled between the King and the Emperor that they must take effect to the honor of both.
	Visited Hochstrate before leaving the Court, who came to this village in the morning by a different way from my Lady, having been attacked with the gout at Bolduke. He had received a letter from Rokkendolf, who lay at Roussillon with certain Almains, informing him that the marquis of Brandenborg, who fell, with a horse, in riding towards Valencia, of which he was Viceroy, on hearing of the French king's landing there, is dead of a fever from the accident. Lord Waleyn, eldest son of Berghes, is also dead of a fever aggravated by an old disease; so that Lord Greneberg, who is now Lord Waleyn, is likely to have great possessions if he survive his father; "nevertheless, when he hath attained the same, he is the first that shall part therefro." Desires to know where he shall have money for his diets. Has lived by borrowing since St. Margaret's day. If the King have no greater business in these parts thinks it might be committed to a "lydger" here, with much less charge; for though the King has diminished the diets which he had enlarged, Wingfield's expences are much greater than they were in time past. In the fair village of Haage, St. Bartholomew's day, 1525.

25 Aug. Bradford, p. 151.	1586. CHARLES V. to MARGARET OF SAVOY.
	I have received your letters by Richard, with a copy of the treaty concluded by you, but I am dissatisfied that it has been done without my instructions. I have, therefore, told the ambassadors of England and those of France that I shall not abide by it. Before Richard's coming, I was in communication for a general abstinence, and have concluded a treaty with the English ambassadors more to my credit than yours. You make England your ally, and promise no assistance to the enemies of France, which is much more favorable to England than to me. I send you a copy of the abstinence. Toledo, 13 (fn. 1) Aug.
	P.S.—I send to John de la Sauch the duplicate of a despatch sent by me to England. I have ratified the neutrality of Burgundy. Toledo, 15* Aug.

The letter was dropped among the pages of a copy of Cicero's Epistles, and on turning them over Bembo found it. Desires his compliments to Pace. Ex Noniono, 8 kl. Sept. 1525.

26 Aug. Vit. B. VII. 184. B. M.	1589. CLERK to WOLSEY.
	Matters are still in the same perplexity. There is no more certainty about the accord between the E[mperor] and the French king, or between England and France, as reported by the French. There is [news] from Spain that the Emperor will marry [the daughter of] Portingale, and the French king the Emperor's sister, and he will then be content to part with half Burg[undy]. However, this is only by private men's letters. It is true that Bourbon is sent [for], but the galleys that will take him are not yet arrived. Madame Dalanson is departed into... They write from Spain that the Emperor will conclude nothing with France till Bourbon's cu[ming], and it is therefore thought that he will have some respect to the King's highness.
	The Pope is not in the greatest quietness, nor will be till he sees further to what these practices of Spain and England with France will frame. He is right well contented that Christian princes should incline to peace, but Clerk thinks he would be glad to have an oar in the treating thereof. Has often shown him that he need not doubt about any agreement of England and France, for it would be with as large comprehension of and as much benefit to him as he himself could devise, and assured him that Wolsey would provide for its being so. To this he has always answered that his whole trust was in Wolsey. Heard that, to gratify the Emperor, he had sent, of his own accord, the dispensation necessary for the marriage with Portingale, but he will not "be a knowne therof." Has advised him not to be hasty in that matter; and he says he will not. Did not speak with him at the despatching of this courier, for he has somewhat sequestered himself in consequence of the pestilence, and few men resort to him unless in matters of importance. Clerk himself also has been "half a crazyd" with the toothache these seven or eight days, but is now well amended again. Rome, 26 Aug. Signed.

	Sends the power they asked for to treat with queen Mary and the duke of Suffolk about the dower of the former. Has already sent by De Vaulx's nephew the amended power, with copy of the regency granted to her by Francis. Begs them to conclude promptly, which will be for the good of all parties, as Wolsey will doubtless acknowledge. Considers the principal matters already settled, but not in a state for publication. Has ordered the Chancellor to give them an answer. They will understand what she has done for the protection of the powers of Italy, especially with the Pope, whose overtures she sends to be communicated to Wolsey. Sends also the copy of a truce made in Spain to last till 1 January, which they may also show to Wolsey, as the king of England is a contracting party, though, no doubt, it has been sent him already.
	Her daughter, the Duchess, has set out for Spain, mainly to see the King her brother, and tell him the state of matters between France and England. There is such good order in all Christendom that there is no occasion to hasten on his delivery in a fashion discreditable to his kingdom. Is returning towards Lyonnoys and the frontier of Italy. France is in excellent order. Desires news of the good health of the king and queen of England, the Princess, and Cardinal. Montelymart, 28 Aug.

	My lord of Richmond removed yesterday from York to Sheriff Hutton, where he remains in good health. He was attended out of York by Sir Marmaduke Constable, the elder, Sir Will. Constable of Hatfeld, and Edw. Gowre, Esq. Received at York Wolsey's letters by John Uvedale, the Duke's secretary, with the letters patent, commissions of oyer and terminer, &c., the book of diets, check roll and instructions signed by the King, as contained in a paper signed by Wolsey. Hope this will prevent the late enormities being repeated. Proclamations are already made of the oyer and terminer to begin at Newcastle on Monday before Michaelmas Day. Bulmer, Tempest, Evers and Rob. Bowes left eight days ago for Northumberland. Have never suggested to the King, as Uvedale said, that they should have a chapel like the lords Darcy and Latimer. Advise that it be deferred for the present. Sheriff Hutton, 29 Aug. Signed by Brian Higdon, Sir W. Parre, Godfrey Foljambe, T. Dalby and W. Frankeleyn, Ric. Page, John Palsgrave and John Uvedale.

The latter were quite favorable, saying it should never be to her disadvantage: the King felt otherwise.

	Objections that may be made by the three Estates of Normandy to the ratification of the treaty with England.
	1. Ratification is equivalent to an obligation before all other obligations. 2. If the three Estates ratify, the Church, the nobles and the third Estate each bind themselves. The Church cannot assemble, except in general from, and cannot bind itself to pay anything without the authority of the Holy See. The nobles say they have always been exempt from impositions. The third Estate object to be bound singly, especially considering their poverty and increasing burdens. 3. If it be said that the ratification does not bind the Estates, the third Estate replies that the contrary appeared when the taxation of this country was increased for the first payment of the English. If they were made to pay before being bound, still more will they be made to pay after. The tax was levied contrary to the Prince's oath, and to the privileges of Normandy, a country which has always been loyal, and never merited such treatment. They also say that if money can be levied from them by force when required, there is no need of ratification, for in such a case they are serfs. 4. Arguments to show that the ordinary convention of the three Estates is not sufficient to bind them, &c.

	Understands from their letters what they have done with Wolsey for the final settlement of the peace. Wonders Wolsey has the conscience to demand that France shall be taxed with 500,000 crowns "pour le reste de Tournay," seeing that Tournay may be said to have been lost by means of the English; and the crown of France has already paid 100,000 crowns for it. The king of England ought at least to promise all his aid and favor for its recovery; and, if it be not restored, to repay the sum which has been given for it. Neither ought the crown of France to be burdened with the obligation of the Generals, seeing that it was made at Wolsey's instance, and that, having come into his power, 3,000l. st. have been lent thereupon to Bernard Salviati, as appears by the counter letter of the said Cardinal and John Heron; which counter letter, on being recovered, shall be sent immediately to England. Wolsey is at liberty to prosecute against the Generals any claim he may have. If the obligation must be kept, there must be no alteration of the form, which is, to pay 7,000 crs. per annum. Such a construction of the obligation is scandalous and usurious, and seems to be put forward to save the king of England 63,000l. sterling, lent long ago to some bankrupt merchants, at the expence of France. The king of England would thus have us improve the principal debt, "ainsi deshonneste qu'il est," by 15,000l., and, to conduct the thing in his fashion, disburse 20,000l.; which, with the said 63,000l. of principal debt, and the 15,000l. of augmentation, make the 98,000l. contained in the said obligation of 7,000l. a year for 66 years. There can be no question the 20,000l., which is the foundation of the obligation, ought to be paid at once; and if Wolsey will put in the mass the said obligation of 462,000 crs., you ought to provide, and insist with him that the said 20,000l. should be repaid you, and the obligation of the merchants redelivered for 63,000l. with the obligation of the Generals. You have always written that the King's obligation for the citizens of Tournay amounted to 28,000 cr., which might in time be recovered from the citizens. Now you write that it only amounts to 23,000 francs = 13,000 cr., or thereabouts; and, therefore, if the sum of 2,000,000 is to have place (aura lieu), France is burdened with 15,000 cr. more, which you ought to get deducted, or obtain a bond (ou recouvrerez obligacion) to the sum of 23,000 cr. As to the 50,000 cr. which Wolsey requires to be paid 40 days after the conclusion of peace, you will press him to be content that they be paid immediately on the ratification being made and published in England. The declaration desired by Wolsey about the comprehension of Scotland ought not to be so strict. If you agree to it at all, you must see that the honor of France be saved. In the matter of obligations and confirmations Wolsey ought to be satisfied with very much less. Sends an amended power as desired, &c. Tournon, 31 Aug.
