26 Nov.	1478. George Lord Rocheford to Cromwell.
R. O.	On Sunday last the mayor of Rye and others were with me at the Court, and I have taken such order and direction with them as I trust is right and just. I have commanded the mayor to return to Rye, and see the matter ordered according to the order I have taken in it before. He now advertises me that you have commanded him to attend you, and not obey the order. If you have been truly informed, or will command the mayor to declare to you the order I have taken, I trust you will find no fault in it. Touching the last complaint put up to you by one of London, I never heard of it before: but when the mayor goes down he may cause the other party to appear before you at your pleasure. Greenwich, 26 Nov. Signed.
R. O.	p. 1. Add.: Secretary.
26 Nov.	1479. Wm. Lord Sandys to Cromwell.
R. O.	I beg your favor for this poor man Rynnyger, that he may have licence to disembark his wines. He has provided for me 20 tuns for the provision of my house. The Vyne, 26 Nov. Signed.
R. O.	p. 1. Add.: Mr. Secretary.
[27] Nov.	1480. Sir Thomas Cheyne to Cromwell.
R. O.	Has caused a Flemish “pynke” to be seized, “wherein is 25 cloths unwrought, which I have in my house. I suppose they be forfeit.” They are worth about 5l. a piece. There are also six tuns of beer, two or three barrels of candle, six “bakyn howges” and a barrel of beef. All the cloths belong to the mayor of Fefyrsham, who is but a poor man; the other baggage, to the Fleming master of the ship. At my house, Friday before St. Andrew.

27 Nov.	1481. De Buillemont to Henry VIII.
R. O.	Begs the King to command the treasurer of his Chamber to pay him the arrears of the pension of 20l, granted him by the King for his services in the war on this side of the sea. Would have come to him in person, but that he was compelled by illness in his side to send his son in his place. Has married his daughter a year ago, and if the King will help to pay for her marriage, he will have part in the pardon allowed to those who negotiate marriage. Tournay, 27 Nov. 1534.

28 Nov.	1482. Chapuys to Charles V.
Vienna Archives.	The French admiral entered this city on the day mentioned in my last, accompanied by the duke of Norfolk and other lords and gentlemen. Early next morning, without waiting, as is the custom here, till the Admiral had spoken with the King, I visited him; and he showed himself in all his conversation completely devoted to your majesty's service, and desirous above all things for the preservation and increase of amity with you; of which there was good hope, especially as the matter was in the hands of Nassau, who was to have arrived eight days ago in Flanders, where he would explain to the queen [of Hungary] your majesty's intentions on his charge. I expressed the confidence that your majesty reposed in him, and that you regarded him as one of your friends, to which he replied appropriately and asked me to visit him occasionally. I have not since been to see him, for want of an opportunity, waiting till the King had entered with him on the business for which he came. Till yesterday nothing had transpired about it, and it does not appear that he has yet begun. No one of the Council has anything to do with it except Cromwell. There is some appearance, as I wrote before, that the Council here have made propositions for the marriage of the King's second daughter, and I know from a good authority that the King's ambassador in France has written to his master that it was found by opinions they had collected in France, Italy and elsewhere, that even if the King's first marriage were invalid, the Princess was still legitimate, and the succession belonged to her ; at which the King was very ill pleased. Of the nine days the Admiral has been here, he has been six at Court, and dined on the first Sunday at the King's table. There have been dances and games of tennis, and the King exercised himself in both, but the said Admiral has been only twice to see the dances, and it would appear he did so merely out of courtesy, and he has not paid that compliment to the game of tennis. I am told he has not made much account of the Lady, and when the King asked him the first time if he would not like to see her, he replied very coldly that he would do so if it pleased the King; and this was noted by several persons. On coming away from the first interview with the King, the Admiral was very ceremonious with the duke of Norfolk, declining to go before him, saying he had discharged his commission, and that he was no longer ambassador, which was as much as to say that he had come only to hear what the King wished to tell him. Next day Norfolk is to entertain the Admiral, and the day after, which will be St. Andrew's day, the duke of Richmond. There was some talk that he would go to Richmond (Windsor) to see the chapel of the Order, but it appears he would prefer taking the road to France if it were not to await the answer of a man whom he despatched on Thursday,—the only messenger, so far as I can learn, that he has despatched since coming.
	The King, who, as head of the Church in his kingdom, was intending to take back into his hands all Church property, and distribute only a frugal sustenance to ministers of the Church, is for the present satisfied to leave the churchmen in possession of their property, provided they will contribute to him a yearly rent of 30,000l. st., and grant him the first fruits on all benefices. It is true he has always taken by apostolic privilege the revenues of vacant bishoprics, but now he claims the whole revenue, not only of the bishoprics but of all other benefices, which amounts to an inestimable sum. Since the King was determined to bleed the churchmen, he has done much better to do it thus than to take all their goods, to avoid the murmur and hatred, not only of the clergy but of the people, especially of those who have endowed churches, or of their successors; moreover, it would have been necessary, to stop the months of many people, to give the greater part of those goods to gentlemen and others.
	The good prelates here are now in dispute with the doctors whom the King has brought from Germany about the sacrifice of the mass, and whether faith alone without works is sufficient for our salvation. This discussion is carried on in writing, and if the German doctors get the advantage, which God forbid, they will infect the whole country.
	Since writing the above, I have just learned form two quarters that the said admiral of France two days ago summoned the King, in conformity with the treaties, to take steps for the completion of the marriage of the Princess with the Dauphin, and protested that there was no obstacle on the part of his master, who, in case of refusal, would have the Dauphin married either to the Infanta or elsewhere. It is not known how the King received this proposal, but it would seem his Lady is very angry at it, and this agrees with what, as I mentioned, the King's ambassador in France wrote touching the consultation about the legitimacy of the Princess. And to justify himself the more upon the observance of treaties, those with the Admiral have declared to several persons that there never had been any talk about marrying the Dauphin to the Infants. I will use every effort to ascertain the truth. London, 5 Dec. (corrected to 28 Nov.) 1534.
	Fr., pp. 5. From a modern copy.
Add. MS. 28,588, f. 62. B. M.	2. Extract from the letters of the Imperial ambassador in England of 5 Dec. Translated from French into Spanish.
	He has been assured by two trustworthy persons that the French admiral has required the king of England to conclude the marriage between the Princess and Dauphin. He declared that the delay was not owing to his master, and, in case of a refusal, the Dauphin would marry the Infanta of Spain or some one else. This agrees with what the English ambassador in France has written, that it was found that although the marriage had been unlawful, the Princess would lawfully succeed to the throne; in order to justify the observance of the said treaties, many of which had been negotiated by the Admiral, they asserted to divers persons that there never had been any word or proposal about a marriage between the Infanta and Dauphin.
	Some of the Admiral's household said that he returned discontented, because the king of England had agreed to nothing that he asked of him, especially that a marriage should be arranged between the Dauphin and Infanta, which he contradicted on the strength of certain treaties.
	The king of England has been declared by Parliament sovereign head of the Church, and the tribute formerly paid to the Pope is now paid to him. The Acts of the last Parliament against the Holy See have been ratified. The King had determined to seize all ecclesiastical property, and distribute to the ministers of the Church only enough for their sustenance, keeping the rest himself. He now allows ecclesiastics to enjoy their goods on payment of a rent of 150,000 cr. and annates of benefices and bishoprics, which will amount to an immense sum.
	The English prelates are now discussing with doctors, whom the King has invited from Germany, about the sacrifice of the mass, and whether faith alone without works is sufficient for salvation. The discussion will be carried on, in writing. If the German doctors, who are of “la secta,” conquer in the discussion, there is likelihood of their infecting the whole kingdom with their errors.

	1483. Henry VIII. and Francis I.
R. O. St. P. VII. 584.	As Mons. de Brion, admiral of France, now in England, has shown the King certain overtures made to Francis by the count of Nasso at his late being in France, to which he will give no answer without Henry's consent, and has also spoken of things proposed by Francis at their late interview, Henry replies as follows :—
	1. The marriages proposed by Nasso on behalf of the Emperor, one between the Dauphin and lady Mary, the other between the Emperor's son and the French king's youngest daughter, proceed from the Emperor's malice, and are intended to dissolve the amity between the two kings. Henry doubts not that Francis will neither give ear to this overture nor lightly pass it over without considering that the Emperor is trying to dishonor him by causing him to violate his friendship with Henry.
	2. As to Nasso's overture that the French king should have the duchy of Milan after the death of the present duke, and meanwhile have a tribute from the Emperor of 100,000 cr., and proposing an interview between the French queen and the regent of Hungary, the King cannot advise him to accept either of them.
	3. Henry and the Admiral have talked of the overture made by Francis at the interview, that Henry should resign the title of king of France in exchange for Gravelines, Newporte, Dunkirk, the duke of Vendôme's lands in Flanders, with the title also of the duke of Lorraine to the dukedom of Brabant and the town of Antwerp. Henry reminds Francis how at the late interview he did not press him to make laws similar to his for the preservation of the rights and privileges of the realm against the bishop of Rome, and if the French king will obtain from the bishop of Rome a decision that the unjust and slanderous sentence given by the late bishop is void, he will be content to treat with him for renouncing the said title, and also for a marriage between the lady Elizabeth and the duke of Angoulesme.
	1484. Queen Margaret.
Calig. 3. III. 41. St. P. V. 22 (note)	“This to be schewin unto ye kingis grace oure deirest broder be oure tender cousing, lorde William Howarde, ambassador.”
	i. That she has sought by all means to learn the King her son's mind towards Henry, and finds him and his Council well disposed. 2. To ask the King to notify in writing any delay in giving redress on the Borders, as James will do on his side. 3. To desire hasty deliverance.
	ii. “Anent oure awin materis.” That most part of our lands lie on the borders of England, among which the earldom of March and Colbrandispeth and the forest of Ettrick have been completely “hereit” and burnt by broken men of England. The tenants would not now inhabit them if she remitted their males and profits for three years. Forbore, however, to complain for the sake of peace. Hopes the King will be kind to her.

	1485. Q. Margaret to Cromwell.
Calig, B. I. 249. B.M.	Has received by this gentleman, “whom I have been very plain to in all sorts conforming to the King's grace's commandment,” Henry's hearty and honorable letters and credence. All that she had said of Cromwell was that she prayed the King “to bid him let no Scotchman wit of nothing that belonged to my matters” betwixt the King and her. Master Adam Otterbourn told her, when she came from England, that Cromwell had said she should not come into England, as she desired to come without the King her son. Thinks it “very heavy” that any Scotchman should know otherwise than that she should be welcome in that country. Begs him to pardon “this Movsgraff,” for he was sharply dealt with, and she was in such haste that he took it not all as she said. She never regarded Cromwell otherwise than as the King's true servant. Begs he will let her know the King's pleasure on the matters the bearer will show him.

R. O.	I thank you for the hawk you sent me. I send you a brace of bandogs and a cast of lanards by my servant. Hawks have failed much this year, or I would have sent some long ere this. I beg you to grant my friend Ric. Appowell your letters of protection. London, 28 Nov. Signed.

29 Nov.	1489. Jehan Du Moucheau to Lady Lisle.
R. O.	The Admiral has charged me to send his compliments to you and my lord. No man ever made such a high report to the King as he has of you. He is more bound to you and my lord than to any man. He has had some small animals brought to him from France, which came from Brazil (Brossil), and your friend Brian went to persuade him to give them to the Court; but he declared in my presence that no king or queen should be served before lady Lisle. The two small animals are named sagouins (marmosets); the large one is a quine (?), which is handsome and gentle. These animals only eat apples, small nuts and almonds, and they must not be given anything to drink but a little milk, warmed up. The large animal must be kept near the fire, and the little ones must be hung up at night near the chimney, in their boite (?) de nuit, but by day they should be taken out. I send you the said three animals by the bearer, a merchant of Rouen.
	Your nephew, Sir Richard Grainfilde, has arrived in London. He had a couple of fine bloodhounds, which he has presented to the Admiral; and I have got him to give Sir Richard a little marmoset for his wife, of which he is very proud. The Admiral is informed that Master Spert is sending to my lord a couple of lanners and two mastiffs (doges), and Mons. Gernac, the Admiral's nephew, desires me to say that you could not do the Admiral a greater pleasure than to give him these lanners and mastiffs. All the Admiral's gentlemen send compliments. London, Sunday, 29 Nov. 1534.

30 Nov.	1490. Sir Brian Tuke to Cromwell.
Titus, B. I. 280. B. M.	I perceive by Alan Hawte that you supposed the King's revenues of his lands had been payable to me this term, and also part of the clerical subsidy. No revenues come in before March, and then not as much as I usually have to pay. The clerical subsidy comes by driblets, 60l., 100l., or 200l. Between Christmas and May is usually the best payment, but even then I never received 1,000l. at once. All the receipts will scantly suffice to furnish the charges till a little after Midsummer, and thence till March I am always unfurnished.
	If the book of the new perpetual subsidy of the clergy go forth as I read it at the first reading in the Parliament Chamber, my office will be without other provision between this and after Midsummer, for the King remits to the province of Canterbury 40,000l. of the two last payments, and a sum to the province of York. One of the two last payments was due at Michaelmas, and collectors are appointed, and the money is payable to the treasurer of the Chamber on Lady Day in Lent. Although the payments are not observed, as the bishop of London says that he cannot levy it so soon, yet I generally receive some soon after Christmas, and by Lady Day might have had 8,000l., 9,000l. or 10,000l. of the fourth payment due at Michaelmas, and by Midsummer 2,000l. or 3,000l. more. By this new book I shall not have a penny of the fourth payment. The new subsidy will not be assessed till Lady Day, and not a penny paid to the Treasurer till Midsummer, so by that time I shall lack 12,000l. or 13,000l. to pay charges with. I have declared this partly to the lord Chancellor.
	Shows that the loss from the new scheme of paying the subsidy will amount to several thousand pounds, although the new grant is 30,000l instead of 24,000l. 10,000l. or 12,000l. will be wanted for his office till Midsummer. Would have showed this matter by mouth, but by reason of a rheum in his teeth, his mouth is a little out of fashion. My poor cabit in London, 30 Nov. 1534.

30 Nov.	1491. Sir Antony Wyndesore to Lord Lisle.
R. O.	I have spoken with Mr. Fowler for the money resting in my hands due to your lordship. The auditor (fn. 1) has promised to inform his brother, (fn. 2) that he may make payment to you. As to your matter with Sir Edw. Seymour, I trust you shall be sufficiently instructed by the articles sent by your council signed by their hands. The principal point for your purpose rests much with my lord Norwich and baron Hales in expounding of certain articles in the indentures between your lordship, my lord Delaware and Mr. Guildford. My lord of Norwich was very favorable to you, and I would advise your lordship to write a loving letter to him, and also to baron Hales. As to the letter your lordship sent me enclosed in mine, you need not fear. Your council shall be privy thereto. If your lordship depart from the possession of any part of Kingston Lisle, they shall not conclude with us unless you be put in as good case as you are now. I wish we could see Sir John Dudley's indentures concerning the exchange of Drayton Basset and Kingston Lisle. The auditor and I have taken account of Holt, your draper, for your livery. I hope that my lady will pardon me for not writing to her. London, St. Andrew's Day.
	I hear the cook my lady sent me has gone to Calais, where I desired Mr. Kyrtton to inquire for him. I desire much to have him again.

	1492. Lord Lisle to Ralph Sadler.
R. O.	I thank you for the pains you have frequently taken for me. I understand Sir Ric. Whethill is making instant labor to divers of the Parliament to have the patent which he lately sued out for a spear's room in the retinue here for his son Robt. Whethill confirmed by their act. You well know both he and his son have misused themselves towards me, and Sir Ric. has been always my enemy since I came, as this suit shows him to be, for if he wished to have the office with my favor, he would not have put in a bill in parliament in derogation of my authority, and though by the King's command, or on Mr. Secretary's writing, I should be willing to give Robt. Whethill the next spear's room, I would be loath he should have it in opposition to me. I beg you therefore to give ear thereunto to know what he pretendeth, and send me word with all celerity.
R. O.	Corrected draft, p. 1. Begins: Master Sadleyr.
	1493. Sir Richard Graynfeld to Lord Lisle.
R. O.	Is sorry he cannot be with him. Hears the embassy will be shortly despatched. All praise Lisle for the great cheer he made them. Gave the Admiral (fn. 3) a couple of the best hounds in England; and when he offered a return, I said his praises of you were a sufficient recompense.

	1495. Walter Blount to Cromwell.
R. O.	Reminds him that it appears by chronicles that great insurrections have been made in times past by noblemen and subjects, owing to the King's allowing them to retain people, by being stewards and rulers of the tenants belonging to bishops, abbots and priors. Suggests that as the King is now recognised as supreme bead, he should be authorised by Parliament to appoint stewards over the tenants of the spiritually.
