	Upon the Cardinal's last letters, intimating that the Pope would open the Council shortly after Easter, the King appointed ambassadors who were already prepared to start when, on St. Gregory's Day, (fn. 7) news came of the battle of Ravenna on Easter Day. (fn. 8) Conflicting accounts of the battle and its results. Meanwhile defers sending ambassadors to Rome. Has a fleet of 6,000 men at sea, who have already taken 12 Breton and French ships. Is sending 12,000 men to invade Guienne and Gascony under the King of Spain; and has now, at Hampton, gone on board the ships. Describes the men as marvellously encouraged by the indulgence which the Pope sent and likely to do great things. The Pope must be urged to attack the French strenuously. With a good wind the army should reach Guienne in 15 days. Lady Margaret has asked him to commend to the Pope the Bishop of Maurienne for the dignity of Cardinal. 6 May 1512.

11 May. Adv. MS., 368.	1190. THE CITY OF RAGUSA to JULIUS II.
	To-day their messengers (nuntii) have come from Constantinople, bringing letters written by their ambassadors there, 21 April, informing them that Selim Sach, the younger son of the Great Turk, who last year attacked his father and was put to flight, had arrived at Constantinople on the 17th of the said month with 2,000 men of his court, induced by his favour with the Janizaries. He was met, two miles from the gates by all the "bassalarii," the other pashas (bassæ) and all the grandees, with great ceremony. On Friday, 23 April, he was made Emperor by the Janizaries, to the great displeasure of his father, who was induced to yield by his pashas and the Janizaries. Next day he entered the palace to his father, from whom he received the insignia of Empire and sat the whole day on the throne, receiving the homage of all the princes. His elder brother, Achmet Solhtan, who aspired to the throne by reason of his father's promise, occupies nearly all Natelia, and by favour of that nation called Soffiani, and of the Cilicians, is said to have an army of 40,000 horse and 30,000 foot. What will come of it, is doubtful. The father has exhorted the new Emperor not to take arms against his brother, while he is alive. He will spend the remainder of his life at Motica, his native place, in retirement. Ragusa, 11 May 1512.

	Caen, 20 May.—Persistent rumour of invasion from England. One who came thence ten days ago says the men are ready but the ships cannot be so till the end of this month. The King will land at Calais, part of his army in Normandy and the rest at Fontarabie. Their 120 or 140 ships seem few for so large an army. The French victory beyond the Mountains and their distrust of Scotland cool the English somewhat; but the young Councillors, by whom the King is ruled, advise this invasion. English ships (15 or 16) have taken a bark of Dieppe and some fishing boats.

	From one Friar Angelo, Rome, 21 May.—Yesterday the Pope went to St. John Lateran in the same order as he went before—save that there were more soldiers, made by the Orsini. This morning he entered the place of the Council, the Cardinal of Strigonia sang mass, &c. [being a description of delivery and reading, in the crowded assembly, of letters of 13 Nov.

	From Andrea Badoer, London, 26 May.—Florentines have roused the King's indignation against the Signory by saying that the Pope and they had agreed with France, so that Badoer, fearing to be cut in pieces, kept to his house. However, when he had found means to give a personal assurance that this was not so, the King became quiet and was continuing his great preparations against France. He has 15,000 foot embarked and means to go in person.

Is to signify that the King understands, from the letters of Denmark to himself and their common confederate of France, that he will send an ambassador to the Pope to fix upon a neutral spot in Germany as more safe. Although James, after the war and confusion in Christendom, has no hopes on that head, he will send his ambassadors to procure peace and insist on a Council. Is to ask Denmark to act in concert. As the King of England has declared war against France, and intends attacking Scotland, is to ask Denmark on what terms he will lend aid and obtain specific propositions as to the fleet, force, and money he proposes. Is to announce the reasons of James's hostility towards England.

	... "Also we have enclosed in this letter such answer as we [have] devised and sent unto her in writing the next morning, wh[erewith], as the said Thomas (fn. 11) reported unto us, she was right well contented and pleased. And whereas in the end of the said bi[llet] is a clause of credence," it is only that my Lady hears that 3,000 Spaniards shall be sent from Aragon to assist the Prince of Castile against Gueldres. Enclose copy of a letter from the host of the French ambassadors now at Nyvell, conveyed by the diligence of Tho. Spinelly. As to our secret audience, the Emperor made no direct answer, but told Sir Robert that on Monday (fn. 12) he would ride to Our Lady of Hawes to despatch the French ambassadors. When we had almost reached the town, Sir Robert again asked if he would hear the secret matter himself or commit it to my Lady or else to Berghes and the Governor of Bresse. He answered that he would hear it himself and promised that next day he would declare his wishes to Urmestofte, and let them know his intentions. "And so we passed through the park to the palace, and there took our leave on horseback and came to our lodging about 8 of the clock right well 'wasshe.'" Brussels, 28 May.

	The Emperor has written exhorting him to consent to a universal peace, so that an expedition may be made against the Turks. Knowing this exhortation to be made at the instance of French ambassadors now at the Emperor's Court, has answered as in the copy herewith, to be shown to the Pope. His ambassadors have reached Brabant and are now with the Emperor to treat of defence of the Church; and he trusts that the Emperor (to whom, as head of all the Christian princes, that duty specially pertains) will enter the League. The King of Scots, at the instance of the French King, has also written for the said peace, desiring to negociate the matter with the Pope and the Kings of Spain and France; and he has also urged the English ambassadors with him to write. Gave much the same answer to him as to the Emperor, viz., that he could not treat apart from the Pope and King of Spain. Should labour be made to the Pope for this peace, he is to be asked to observe the articles of the League now that the armies of all the confederates are about to invade France. 29 May 1512.

Ib., 425.	1215. HENRY VIII. to MAXIMILIAN.
	Has received his letter deploring the effusion of Christian blood within the year, and the recent loss of so many valiant men at a time when dissensions among the Infidels give an opportunity for wresting Europe from them and winning much even in Asia. In reply to the Emperor's exhortation, for the sake of such an expedition, to arrange concord among Christian princes, reminds him of Henry VII.'s ardent desire for such an enterprise and discussion of it with the King of Portugal, a desire which he thus inherited and which was confirmed by seeing his father-in-law the King of Aragon preparing a numerous fleet against the said Infidels. They (Aragon and he) were, however, recalled from this project by appeals from the Pope whose cities were invaded by the French with more than Turkish cruelty; and he therefore decided with the King of Aragon to take up arms in defence of the Church. Now the foes of the Church, perceiving that their crimes have leagued Christendom against them pretend that they are seeking peace. Believing that under this pretence they only meditate fraud and further war, he begs the Emperor, as principal protector of the Holy Roman Church, to join the most Holy League to avenge her.

	[Extract from letters received 14 June, and copied 17 June, 1512.] From Lorenzo Pasqualigo to his brothers Alvise and Francesco, London, 27 to 29 May 1512.—Conversation with the King who expressed surprise that the Signory had not written him a letter of thanks, to be read to his Council, seeing that but for him the French would have sent many more men into Italy. Afterwards "the friend," now one of the chief of the Council, told him to urge the Signory to write as the omission was marked. All the troops, 15,000 foot, are on 60 barques at the Isle of Wight awaiting wind. They will join a force at Fontarabia to invade Gascony; and 6,000 more are being mustered to follow them. The King's steward makes haste to cross to Calais with 20,000, and the King himself makes ready with other 20,000 under Captain Thalabet. Great rumour of preparations. Munitions come from Flanders and High Germany. Thirty heavily armed ships keep the Channel, so that no French ship dare leave port. Ships from Scio and Candia with Genoese and Florentine goods are expected, and will be confiscated. These "foreigners" are in great fear here. It is our turn now.
