| "A remembrance for hunting in the King's Park at Hunsdon." |

| Christopher, Mr. Stuard's servant, and Thos. Undercombe's servant
coursed in the little park on Tuesday night before Bartilmew Day. Roger of
the Bakehouse told the names to Thos. Ferres, Grene's servant. |

| On Monday or Tuesday night before the Nativity of Our Lady, Rafe of
the Chaundrie in lady Mary's and lady Elizabeth's house, servant to Lawles,
was hunting with others. |
|---|
| On Holyrood Day there was a buck killed with a crossbow. My servants
found Roger of the Bakehouse watching, and he whistled in his fist to give
warning. Wm., the keeper, found Rafe Shelton, gentleman, John Eiton,
yeoman, and Nicholas Russell, Shelton's servant, hid in the wood. John, the
parish priest, knew of Eyton's having the nut of his crossbow filed that
morning. Shelton offered the keeper an angel. Christopher and Lyvall,
Mr. Stuard's servants, stole two fawns. Thos., Edw. Undercombe's man,
and Richard, Rafe Shelton's man, coursed in the park beyond Grene's lodge
on Wednesday next before Shrovetide. Took up one of the dogs and sent
it to Rafe Shelton or his father, desiring them to be friendly to the King's
grounds. Shelton has killed hernshaws with his handgun, and driven away
all the old breeders. A buck and doe were killed last summer and found at
his servants' lodging. He had them put in the stocks that he might not be
thought guilty. A buck's head was found in Jorneman's wheat hard by
Grene's walk. Rafe of the Chaundry killed a doe with his dog, which
Robt. a Lee, my keeper, took. Both at Eltham and Bishop's Hatfield, as well
as other places, Shelton has done such trespasses. I and my servants are
sore threatened, and they will be more extreme against us now.

|---|
| On the arrival of your servant, Mr. Rowse, with your letters, having
first perused those directed to me, I delivered the others to the King, who
read them thoroughly, and bade me keep them till he had supped. In his
going to the Queen's chamber to supper, I told him, by the way, you had
written to me that the Father of Syon was departed, and that you would
repair thither for the election of another. He said it were well you should
do so. "Howbeit," quoth he, "the Charterhouse in London is not ordered
as I would have had it," adding, that he had commanded Cromwell long ago
to put the monks out of the house; and though Cromwell now wrote that
they were reconciled, he would not admit their obedience, seeing that they
had been so long obstinate. I showed his Highness that you had committed
Ralph Shelton to the Fleet, and that he confessed to setting up the ladder
and to having killed deer. His Grace said no doubt you would try him
sufficiently ere you left him. By this his Grace was in the Queen's chamber,
ready to wash and sit down to supper. After supper he returned to his
chamber, sent for me, and said he had considered your letters, and, seeing
how the plague reigned in Westminster, even in the Abbey, he was in doubt
whether or not to defer the Coronation. He said, therefore, it were good
that all his Council were here to consult on it, and bade me write to you that
my lord Admiral, Mr. Comptroller, and the bishop of Hereford are here,
and that you yourself should come hither immediately, and bring with you
my lord Chancellor, if he were near London, and the rest of the Privy
Council. I said that ere you could have word of this it would be tomorrow
afternoon, and too late to set out, and that next day was Michaelmas Day.
"What then?" quoth his Grace, "Michaelmas Day is not so high a day."
Wherefore, I perceive, he will expect you on Michaelmas Day, or the next
morning, the sooner the better. To the rest of your letters the King will
answer at your coming. |

| I have sent all the letters stamped, but you may defer sending them forth
till you know further of the King's pleasure. Windsor, 27 Sept. "at

R. O. | 502. E. Duchess of Norfolk to Cromwell. |
|---|
| Is emboldened to write by Cromwell's kindness. Hears he has taken
into his service many of the duke of Richmond's servants. The wife of one
Arnold, the duke of Richmond's brewer, shows the writer that Cromwell
promised to take Arnold when the Duke was dead, if he was suitable. He
is an honest man; when she and her husband were in Ireland he was
brewer to her husband. Begs him to "be in hand" with the King and her
husband that she may have a better living. Is in Hertfordshire, a hard
country, for she could lie better cheap in London, having bare 300 mks.,
50l. a quarter. Has been from her husband four years come Easter, and
is determined never to come in his company while she lives. 28 Sept.

R. O. | 503. Sir Fras. Bigode to Cromwell. |
|---|
| Bigod and others were commanded by the sheriff of Yorkshire to attend
at York castle on Tuesday afore Michaelmas Day, and when there were
ordered to come again on Tuesday, Oct. 10. Asks Cromwell to order the
sheriff to deliver again to their sanctuary such sanctuary men as lately were
his servants. Would not desire any thing in their favor because they were
at this detestable act, but Rafe Ewere, by help of serjeant Jennye, made
untrue information to the Chancellor, whereupon they obtained his letters
to the bishop of Durham. Sends a copy thereof with two testimonials, that
Cromwell may perceive that the suggestion made to the Chancellor is
untrue. The bishop of Durham, the earl of Westmoreland, and the prior
and convent of Durham have all made testimonials to the same effect, and
answered the lord Chancellor's letters. Asks therefore that according to
grants made to the church of Durham, they may be restored to sanctuary.
This would win the hearts of all the North, especially in the Bishopric, adeo
sunt suo dicati Cuthberto. Begs Cromwell to excuse him his payment for
a quarter of a year. Asks Cromwell to write to the archbishop of York
to give a prebend or benefice to Master Jherom, a monk of Canterbury
who is at Bigod's house. This would be a gracious deed for the establishment of God's word here. York, Michaelmas eve. Signed.

R. O. | 504. The Canons of Hexham. |
|---|
| Account by Lyonell Graye, Robt. Collyngwod, Wm. Grene, and
Jas. Rokeby, commissioners for the dissolution of monasteries in Northumberland, of the conduct of the "chalons" (canons) of Hexham. Were
riding thither on 28 Sept., 28 Hen. VIII., and at Dilston heard that the
convent had prepared guns and artillery to defend themselves. Gray and
Collingwood accordingly went on with a few persons. Found many armed
persons in the streets. When they entered the common bell of the town
was rung, and then the great bell of the monastery. The gates were shut
and a "chalon," called the master of Ovingeham, appeared in harness on
the leads and said there were 20 brethren in the house who would all die
before the commissioners should have it. After some consultation the
master of Ovingham and the sub-prior reappeared, bringing with them a
writing under the King's broad seal, and said "We do not doubt but ye
bring with you the King's seal of authority for this house, albeit, ye shall
see here the King's confirmation of our house under the great seal of king
Henry the viijth, God save his Grace. We think it not the King's honor
to give forth one seal contrary to another. And afore any other of our lands,
goods, or house be taken from us, we shall all die, and that is our full
answer." Graye and Collyngwood returned to the rest of the commissioners
and they all went back to Corbrigge. |
|---|
| Thos. Elrington of Espersheles, Jas. Bellingham of Hexham, and Roger
Lawson of Hexhamshire, say that after the commissioners departed from
the town, the "chalons" marched out in harness to the Green, but the
commissioners were past out of sight, and so they returned.

I have earnestly desired the King or you to send hither and to some other
suitable place Magistrum Ch[risto]pherum, the German secretary, or some
other faithful person that I might communicate with him things which the
King ought to know. Not having yet heard the King's intention I repeat

| The Burgundians have taken Gronneg (Groningen) and Damme in
Friesland. The Imperialists are attacking the prince of Gueldres. Christian,
prince of Holstein and king designate of Denmark, holds the whole kingdom
quietly, with great favor from all the people. He has not only dismissed
all the seven Danish bishops, who were very powerful, but also put them in
prison and confiscated their property. This will probably be explained at
the assembly of the kingdom on the Sunday after St. Dionysius Day, at

no favour any longer to either side and to remember the last letter you

who were then taken by the bailly of Marke in depriving them of two
French prisoners, the one of Abbeville and the other of Desuerne, as I
then wrote to you, to which I have had no answer. It will be owing to
