|
The King daily heaps honours and courtesies upon him,
and on the 25th ult. required him to be a beholder of such
triumphs, barriers, and pastimes as were prepared at the Duke
of Lorraine's house in Paris, which were nobly and sumptuously performed. On the 1st inst. he spent the day hunting
with the King in the Bois de Vincennes. After dinner the
King rode to a warren of hares thereby, and after he had
coursed with much pastime, he flew to the partridge with a
cast of very good falcons; and that done entered the park of
Bois de Vincennes, replenished with some store of fallow deer.
Understanding that Lord Buckhurst had a leash of greyhounds, he sent to him that he might put on his dogs to the
deer, which he did, but found that the deer ran better for
their lives than the dogs did for his pastime. After this the
King and all the gentlemen with him fell to a new manner of
hunting, chasing the whole herd with their drawn swords, on
horseback, so far forth as they being embosked were easily
stricken and slain; they spared no male deer, but killed of
all sorts without respect, like hunters who sought not to requite any part of their travail with delight to eat of the slain
venison. Has taken leave of the King before his entry, in
order to avoid any dispute about precedency with Spain, but
will remain as private in order to report to her of the honour
and magnificance thereof. The night before he took his leave
of the King, one of the Pope's bulls interdicting Her Majesty
was in Paris secretly set up. The King showed such earnest
appearance of anger against the doer thereof, that she may
stand assured of his unfeigned friendship and goodwill towards
her. On the 4th inst. the King procured the Duke De Nevers
to invite him to dinner, where they found a sumptuous feast,
adorned with music of a most excellent and strange concert,
and with a comedy of Italians. Their Majesties here seek to
gather some sure hope of her resolution to marry before they
will make any overture of that which they so much desire.—

The Spanish Ambassador has visited him, and after some
superfluous talk of love matters, entered to talk of the unkindness that reigned between the Queen's Majesty and his
master, expressing with great vehemency his desire that they
were drawn to some accord. The spring of this alteration from
so strange, to become so familiar and courteous is, that three
days before he presented to the King three requests from the
Duke of Alva. The first, that in respect of the aid his master
sent him in these troubles, that he would send reiters for the
better withstanding the Prince of Orange's enterprises. The
second, that he might levy Catholics in France to serve against
the said Prince. The third, that the King would stay certain
ships preparing at Rochelle on the Prince's behalf. To the first
the King answered that his treasures were near spent, and
that he was still indebted to the reiters for service in the last
troubles. To the second, if he condescended, the Huguenots
would put themselves in arms, suspecting that the said levy
was a device which might reach to themselves. To the third
he answered, that he was informed that the said ships were
prepared to be revenged only on certain of the King of Spain's
subjects, who had taken certain ships of those of the religion
and drowned divers of the men, and delivered others to the
inquisitors. On the 1st inst. there arrived Count Olivarez,
sent by the King of Spain to congratulate the marriage, but
his entertainment is nothing answerable to that of Lord Buckhurst. On the 2nd, was set up a bull at St. Bennet's corner,
the same as that of Felton's, which one of his servants tore
down and brought to him. On his presenting the King with
as much of the bull as he had given to him, he showed himself
very much moved in such sort as they well perceived that it
was unfeigned, and ordered search to be made for the setter
up of the same. Lausac told him in his ear, that he had great
cause to suspect that this was some Spanish practice. Cavalcanti told him that a friend of his who talked with the Bishop
of the house of Salviati, who was lately sent hither by the
Pope, learnt that the Pope has a practice in hand in England,
which would shortly break forth, and that a merchant of this
town has 14,000 crowns in hand for the said enterprise.—

sent by Mr. Beale, he may perceive that the Queen has offered
to her means to be revenged for the pretended troubles in
Ireland, by keeping him occupied in Flanders. They may
seem very dear, because the sum required is very great, and
the gage of repayment very casual. Supposes that the Romish

Acknowledges his letter requiring that Bothwell should be

Captain John Clark might be released. Expresses his goodwill towards the realm of Scotland, and his grief at the
murder of Darnley, and the troubles that have ensued therefrom. Although Bothwell, both by the letters of the Queens
of England and Scotland, and by the public proclamation of
the Lords of the Council of Scotland, has been declared to be
the chief author of that crime, yet he constantly affirms his
innocence and declares that he was found not guilty by a
public tribunal in Scotland. Considering these doubts, and
the difficulty of procuring a fair trial during the present
troubles, the King hopes that it will be taken in good part if
he refuses to send him over. Does not consider it his duty to
decide in this matter. As to Clark he has been found guilty
of military offences by the sentence of other captains, both
Scotch and German, and is therefore imprisoned.—Fredericksburgh, 9 March 1571. Signed. |

Gives a very long and detailed account of five conferences
between Catherine De Medicis and Guido Cavalcanti concerning the proposed match between the Queen of England and
the Duke of Anjou. Alluding to the reports against the
Queen's fair fame, Cavalcanti said that she had reigned nearly
thirteen years, and that envy herself, lying in watch with
Argus's eyes in these many years there could never be found
any manner of suspicion that could once touch her honour.
The Queen Mother professed herself very much inclined for
the marriage, but could not see how it could be attempted
without hazarding the King's honour. Cavalcanti presented
a portrait of Her Majesty to the Queen Mother to be given to
the Duke of Anjou, and received a promise of one of the
Duke's, and in the end it was arranged that the Queen Mother
should speak with Lord Buckhurst. Accordingly on the 12th
inst. by appointment he met her in the garden of the Tuilleries
as it were by good hap, where they had a long conference,
during which Lord Buckhurst assured her that the Queen of
England had declared to him that for the benefit and contentation of her realm she was most firmly and fully resolved
to marry; and in the end it was determined that M. De Foix
should be sent over to England with credit to arrange the
matter, the Queen Mother in the meanwhile requiring that
the utmost secresy should be observed. On the next day he
received a paper containing eight articles for commencing the
negotiations.—Amiens, 16 March 1570. Signed. |

In his last he forgot to advertise how he had visited the

Dealt with him about Stuckley's attempt, and showed him
what he was, and what inconveniences might grow to both
princes by so evil an instrument. His reply was only that
his master meant no evil towards the Queen, and as to
Stuckley's entertainment and the making of him a knight, he
could only say that there was no such matter. M. Ruffek has
lately returned out of Germany, being sent to treat of a
marriage between the Duke Augustus' daughter and the Duke
of Alençon. His answer is, that the princes of Germany
always observed equality of degree in matching their children,
which also they did not do until they could judge what it was
to marry; and though all other respects were answerable, yet
this match would be inconvenient in respect of diversity of
religion. Chevalier Sheures is dispatched to the Emperor to

Desires him to signify to the Queen that on the 25th the
Archbishop of Cashel repaired to him, and after justifying his
departure out of Ireland without Her Majesty's leave, said
that the King of Spain had very honourably entertained him
with a pension of 2,000 ducats. He then showed him that
about September last Stuckley came into Spain, and told him
that the intention of his repair thither was to deal with the
King of Spain about the reducing of Ireland into his government, whereby heresy might be expelled and true Catholic
religion planted, and therefore desired him that he would deal
with Cardinal Spinosa to procure him access to the King,
which the Archbishop refused to do, saying that he would be
loath to see his country under the government of any others
than the Queen and her successors. Stuckley thereupon went
to the Duke of Feria, who brought him to the King, who, after
conference had with him, used him very honourably, and gave
him a fair house and 6,000 ducats, and a daily allowance for
his table. Two days afterwards the King sent for the Archbishop, who told him that by report Stuckley had been a
pirate, of life dissolute, of expenses prodigal, of no substance
or any account in his country, though descended from a good
house. Then the King told him that Stuckley had assured
him that he had so dealt with the Irish nobility that he would
find them ready to receive such forces as he should send. The
Archbishop told him that he was not a man of that credit
with the Irish nobility, who knew him to be but a shifter and
one who sought to abuse all men, to which the King replied
that besides his own report, he was recommended to him by
his ambassador. Here he made a digression, and told Walsingham that the Ambassador did great hurt in England,
which he did not learn by hearsay, but by the sight of his
letters. Not long after the Archbishop had similar talk about
Stuckley with the Duke of Feria, who charged him with
unwillingness that the enterprise should go forward. In the
end the Archbishop declared that the only cause of his departing out of Spain was, that he was loath to be suspected to
favour the said enterprise, hating nothing more than the name
of traitor. On Walsingham urging him to use plainness he
promised that if Her Majesty would restore him to his country
and place, he would give him in writing both the manner of
the conspiracy and also the remedy. He also feared that
Lord Burghley had not conceived very well of him through
Huggins' report. He thought that Stuckley would embark
not much before the end of April, and that Julian Romero
was appointed to this enterprise. Walsingham suspects that
he does not mean good for these causes, first, as he is informed
two Irishmen sent by him out of Spain were the cause of
De la Roche's expedition; secondly, that he was sent for by
the Cardinal of Lorraine; thirdly, he wishes James Fitzmaurice's son in Spain, who is now at Brest; and lastly, he
does not forget his nation or religion. Has placed some
espial about him to observe to whom he repairs, and also who
repair to him. Finds the Irish captain whom he desired Lord
Buckhurst to recommend to the Queen, very serviceable in
this behalf. He desires within twenty days to be advertised
how Her Majesty inclines to his request. The only hope he
has of him is, that he imagines that he mislikes that Stuckley
should have the glory of the enterprise to which they both
pretend, and which he first set abroach, and therefore would
be glad to do anything to impeach the same.—Paris, 26 March

people's contentment. The Vidame is not secret, and therefore
