21 Aug.	995. Privy Council to Wallop.
R. O. St. P. viii. 429.	On Wednesday last the French ambassador came to Court for an answer to his doubts upon the enforcement of the Statute of strangers. “He is more curious than needed, for he affirmed that he did all of himself.” He was answered that the King would do nothing against the treaties, and if he will view the treaties and laws together, he will find that nothing is done that will offend the amity. If then he remains in doubt he may always resort to the King. He also spoke about Mons. de Rochepot, and a Breton. The first case the King could not remedy without offence to his leagues with the other party, and the ancient immunities of the realm, and thus Rochepot's agents seem fully answered. As to the Breton's case, it was resolved that Soleman and Popley, who knew the process, should be examined, and then order taken consonant to justice. Draft, pp. 3. Endd.: Mynute to Mr. Wallop, the xxjth of August.
R. O.	2. Doubts which may be made upon the Act of Parliament touching strangers, published 14 Aug. 1540 [32 Hen. VIII. c. 16.]. (1.) Whether the statement that all Acts made in the time of king Richard concerning strangers shall stand in effect, means that strangers are bound to sell their merchandise in six or eight months as king Richard ordained. [Answer (fn. 1) : Old statutes are in force and those made 50 years before the treaty are to be put in execution.] (2.) By an Act of the 14th and 15th year of the present king, it is enacted that all strangers, denizens or not, shall be liable to the reformation and search of the wardens of the crafts (gardes des gens de mestier). Whether gens de mestier means “men which sell by great” (fn. 2) (en gros) or handicraftsmen. (The English translation mistakes the meaning as follows:—“that all manner of strangers should be denizens, or else they should not be of the fellowship and company of craftsmen.”) [Answer: As we now take it, handicraftsmen.] (3.) It appears by the said Act that strangers cannot rent houses unless they are denizens. Whether this means wholesale dealers, who do not wish to be denizens, and whether those who have houses, married or not, are bound to leave them at Michaelmas if they are wholesale dealers. [No answer given.] (4.) Whether strangers not denizens living “in the Sanctuaries, (fn. 3) as at St. Martin's and others”, (fn. 2) are privileged to remain by this Act, or whether they must leave the country. [Answer: They must obey the tenor of the Act.] (5.) Whether those who now are in or in future come to England and are not denizens, will be bound to the laws of the kingdom, as appears by the said Act. [Answer: “Undoubtedly bound. And in the league is by a saving expressed that all statutes, customs, and ordinances made before 50 years shall continue in force.”] (6.) It is stated that all grants and leases made to strangers shall be annulled after Michaelmas. If a foreigner has taken house or land, and paid a great sum “for an innecum,” hoping to hold it for the time agreed on, whether he will be repaid. [Answer: The stranger was to blame for not foreseeing whether he might by the law take such a lease. This is the law. What equity or grace the King may show depends upon his goodness.] (7.) If wholesale dealers who have taken their house for a year or two will be bound to leave at Michaelmas. [Answer: “He must leave it.”] (8.) Whether wholesale dealers may lodge men of their own nation, not denizens, as heretofore. [Answer: “Being lodged as a guest, he may of gentleness, as we think, receive another guest for a time.”] (9.) Whether the Act applies to the French, especially to merchants resident here, considering the great liberty of going and staying contained in the treaties. [Answer: The liberty of tarrying granted by treaty is not impeached, but the manner of tarrying must be conformable to the laws made 50 years before the treaty.] “Sur les quelz doubtes il sera le bon plaisir du Roy d'en faire entendre son bon vouloir et intention.” Fr., pp. 2.

28 Aug.	1014. The Cowbridge at Calais.
Faustina, E. vii. 109. B.M. Chron. of Calais, 191.	An order taken, 28 Aug. 32 Hen. VIII., by Hen. lord Mautravers, deputy of Calais, lord Sandes, and others of the Council of Calais, concerning a common way, of late years usurped by Frenchmen and Flemings, over a bridge called Cowbridge, upon the river parting the English and French pales, unto the town of Calais or the low country of Marke and Oye. It is agreed that the river is the division between the two Pales, and therefore one-half of it belongs to the King. That the way from the bridge to Calais is wholly upon the King's ground, and gives opportunity for ill-disposed persons on both sides, and, in time of war, a means of bringing artillery against Calais. In pursuance of a letter from the Council attending the King's person, dated Hampton Court, 10 Aug., it is agreed that a great ditch (described) shall be made athwart the said usurped way, and the earth so dug out spread abroad upon the Cowswade or the Mayne Broke; also that two other like ditches be cut in the same common way in places meet for stopping it. These three ditches to be begun and finished in one day. Particulars of the number of men lord Gray and others, to whom the work is entrusted, shall bring, and precautions to prevent suspicion at the assembly of so many men. To prevent warning being given to outward parts, Newneham Bridge and other passages within the Pale shall be stopped on Monday night, 6 Sept.: and, next morning, all who are to do the work shall assemble at the house of Boytehaikes, nigh Cowbridge, before 3 a.m., wait quietly until the watches on both sides are dissolved, and then begin. The ditches are to be at once filled with water by cutting the bank of the river called Hollehed; and, for 14 nights after, the watch at Cowbridge shall be increased to 40 men, and after that reduced, by five every night, to the accustomed number of 10. As such a number of indiscreet persons, viz., 180 labourers and others, are requisite, lord Gray of Wilton, Sir Ric. Grenfeld, John Rookwood, Fras. Hall, man-at-arms, Ric. Lee, surveyor, Wm. London, Wm. Smyth, Geoff. Boocher, Hugh Filcok, and John Gavell, soldiers, Morant Haynes, Ric. Leonard, Geo. Caninges, John Foorde, Myddleton Dicker, inhabitants of the lordship of Mark and Oye, shall be overseers of the workmen, and Calais Pursuivant, Hugh Giles, and Thos. Prowde, archers on horseback, shall give attendance. On 6 Sept., Sir Ric. Grenfeld and John Rookwood shall carry in wagons to the house of Boytehaikes, “there to be kept in most secret wise,” the following:—5 barrels of beer, 6 doz. bread, 6 doz. Essex cheeses, 6 bunches onions, 24 drinking bowls, 80 maunds to convey away earth, 30 shovels, 120 bills “to be ready if resistance were made,” 12 hurdles, to make ways to convey earth over the ditch of Maign brook. Dated and subscribed 28 Aug. 32 Henry VIII. Signatures (copied) of H. lord Mautrauvers, Wm. lord Sandes, Wm. lord Graye, Sir Edw. Wotton, Sir Ric. Grenefeld, Sir Edw. Ringeley, Sir Thos. Palmer, and Wm. Sympson. Copy, pp. 4.

Nicolas' P. C. P., 16.	Meeting at Grafton, 29 Aug. Present: the Gt. Chamb., Gt. Admiral, Durham, Treasurer of the Household, Mr. of the Horse, Wriothesley, Chanc. of Augm. Business:—Letter received from the lord Privy Seal requiring despatch of Thos. Fowler, touching strangers at Guildford and Farnham who were ready to depart, upon the Act, enclosing his examination of— (blank), priest, of Windsor, upon the complaint of the dean of Windsor, and concluding with the suit of the keeper of Windsor Castle to be discharged of —(blank) “prison” there, for words about the Queen. Mr. Tuke wrote letters of the despatch of Thos. Fowler, enclosing copy of his recognisance; and Fowler delivered a schedule touching the payment of the retinue at Calais and crew of 106 men at Guisnes, and the allowance to the priest who sings mass for the ward, and of letters of denizens made by command of the late lord Deputy under the hand only of the clerk of the Council, there. Ant. Ainger, paymaster at Dover, made suit for wages, and that the surveyor there, considering his weakness and age, might have someone joined with him. Letters from Sir Wm. Goring to Wriothesley for licence to go home with his wife, and from Sir Wm. Goring, Jasper Horsey, and Wymond Carew to know the lady Anne of Cleves' sojourn next winter that they might make provision. With these lady Anne sent the King a letter in Dutch from her brother, which she had read. The vicar of Bamberie, accused by Ant. Coope, appeared. Petition from John Taillor, of Rye, who is imprisoned and like to be hanged at Diepe for the death of certain Frenchmen whom he arrested for piracy when on the seas with Mr. Dudley; the French ambassador's letter in his favour took no effect.

29 Aug.	1017. [Cardinal Marcellus Cervinus] to the Bp. of Liege.
Vatican MS.	Coming to Louvain in the excercise of his office of legate, found that there was kept in close prison at Disten (Diest) an English clerk called Gregory Botolph, who was taken at Louvain by the secular magistrate, and delivered to the ordinary of the place, i.e., the bp. of Liege, and has been kept in prison without being either condemned or absolved. The English ambassador, at whose instance he was arrested, makes great instance for his extradition. Exhorts him not to allow a clerk who has been committed to his charge by the means of the Apostolic Nuncio to be delivered without the Pope's command to another, and that an excommunicated heretic; also to have the man brought to judgment.

Heron was told, as though without the King's knowledge, to persuade six or eight of the Tynedale outlaws for Sir Reginald Carnaby's taking to offer to come up with halters about their necks, and the rest to submit there to the deputy warden. Heron was to confer with Sir Cuthb. Ratcliff, and they two to write what conformity they found in the Tynedale men, that either their pardon might be sent or means taken to reduce them; and Heron had 10l. reward. Afterwards Thos. Ogle and Cuthb. Shafto were called in and encouraged to assist Heron, and received each 6l. 13s. 4d. reward.

30 Aug.	1020. Anthoinette de Bourbon to the Queen of Scotland.
Balcarres MS. ii. 15. Adv. Lib. Edin.	Has delayed writing longer than she intended, having been so occupied with the marriage of Mademoiselle de Lorrayne. (fn. 7) We parted from the company yesterday. The marriage was on Tuesday last. The Prince came thither well accompanied. I assure you “set (c'est) ung bien honneste prince, et de bonne grace.” They are highly pleased with each other, and are to go home in 15 days. The feast was at Bar. There were hardly any strangers except the marquis of Vaulde and Madame de Bacin (?) and some neighbouring countesses and ladies. We are on the way to Gruise, intending to return by All Saints. We leave our petit fils (fn. 8) at Roches as so much sickness is about. He is well. I write of his affairs at length. “Elle sont fort presees pour sete année,” and will diminish in other years, as I write in other letters. No new persons shall be put with your son except under great necessity. Those who have served ought to be privileged; “quant y en ara de propre, moins y en ara et pleus ne sera de plesir.” I have put none of our own there, and would not, because there are enough of yours and his. He has only one “homme de cru,” whom I require to write and help me with the despatches which daily come, which none of our own people know about, and often the business is confused and delayed for want of a man who has special charge of our affairs. “Quant Rouvroy il les fait, mais quant lenvoyons dehors jen demeures bien fachee”; so I need a man “qui sent mestre par escrit pour y satisfaire.” Hears he has a nephew who has had experience under him. Likes him better than any other. But for the love I bear to you and your son, I would on no account have charge of it, &c. I wrote by Soingevylle of the marriage of your brother, (fn. 9) but I hear he does not leave so soon as he said he would, so I wish to tell you about it, and how the King wishes to marry him to the Pope's niece, (fn. 10) daughter of the duke of — I cannot remember his name, but she is “belle et honneste,” of a great and ancient house, and 15 years of age. They give her 300,000 francs in marriage. She has only one brother, and if he died she would be heiress of 40,000 livres in two duchies and other lands. I think between this and All Saints the matter will be either arranged or broken off (il en sera fait ou failly). Lautrec is dead, to our sorrow. I am glad to learn by your letters of the good health of the King and you, and the little Prince you have had. I do not forget about horses for the King. They are ordered. Your father had asked for them before he left the Court. Is ready to mount horse. “Se penultime d'aoust.” Hol., Fr., pp. 3. Add. Endd.

31 Aug.	1022. Anthoinette de Bourbon to the Queen of Scotland.
Balcarres MS. ii. 16. Adv. Lib. Edin.	Has received several letters from her by the greffier de Longueville. Has already written what has been done for the vicomté of Longueville. Knows that all her men of Normandy approve it, “car set la reson et ausy quyl ne se vende point.” Will see that nothing is done otherwise. Some have disregarded the order and taken money. Mons. de Curel knows what I have said to him about the resignation of which you write. “Il en estet bien pourmys, tant en Escosse que ayle^rs (ailleurs); dounes vous en garde de vostre couster, et je vous asure que je vous avertire. Il nest rien si vray mes se nest qua Chateaudu[n] le lieutenant partit avent hier de Saint Diger ou estions.” I told him plainly that if he did not enforce order they would be all turned out, and others put in who would do their duty better. In truth, if they do not behave better, Mons. de la Most will have to see about it at All Saints, and hold the homage to know who are there to make the declaration demanded by the King, &c. I have twice written of your brother's (fn. 11) marriage; “mais je naves le… que icy avons eu pour vous envoyer se que je vois a set h[eure] vousy voires le tout.” The girl (fn. 12) is beautiful, noble, and rich, “et maseure' t'on qu'elle est fort belle nourie, de leage de xv ans.” Your brother of Raims is to be made cardinal. That is all I know beyond what I wrote on Sunday. I am glad this little Prince is so well. As you compare him to his brother, (fn. 13) he must be big and strong. At Chalons, going to Guise, 31 Aug. Your father sends his commendations to the King. The son of the late vycomte is so young that it would not have been reasonable for him yet to exercise his father's office, and besides it was needful that there should be one not related to the other officers like the deceased. Need not write again of the health of our petit fils. Hol., Fr., pp. 2. Add. Endd.
	1023. The Cardinal of Lorraine to the Queen of Scotland.
Balcarres MS. ii. 129. Adv. Lib. Edin.	Cannot let the bearer depart without letting her know that all her race in this place of Bar are fully minded to do her service. Has had his congé with great difficulty and must return immediately. Hol., Fr., p. 1. Add. Endd.
	1024. Louyse of Lorraine to the Queen of Scotland.
Balcarres MS. iv. 111. Adv. Lib. Edin.	As you write by your controller that I should send you my news, at present none could be better. Monsieur and Madame (fn. 14) are as well as can be. As to my brother, (fn. 15) I think my mother will not fail to report to you at length all about his intended marriage. Monsieur is going to Court in two days, the King having sent to him to arrange matters with the Pope's gentlemen, who have full powers from his Holiness. “Quant au personnage de la demoyselle on la nous fect bele et honneste, et a ungne chose que Madame ayme bien; cet quelete (c'est qu'elle est) fort bien norye; esle ajee de quatorse ou quynse ans.” Her name is “la sygnore Vyquetorya.” Our poor brother has been very near quitting “les maryaye (sic) de se monde,” for he expected to die. Monsieur and Madame were very anxious, but are now assured of his complete recovery by one of his men who arrived yesterday. I think he will have to go soon to see his darling. “Le Roy lui fyet le jour de la nostreda de meau (fn. 16) se byen et grant honneur que de luy donuer lordre.” He promises to do him many other favors, “mes quy le voye marye Dieu luy en doynt lagrase a vous Madame tres longue et bonne vye sit” (sic). Begs her to excuse errors, for this letter is written in the fields “ou veons coure des sers” (cerfs). Signed: Vostre tres humble et tres obayisante seur, Louyse de L. Hol. Fr., pp. 2. Add.: A la Royne d'Escose. Endd.: Mad^lle de Guise.
[Aug.]	1025. Ric. Hilles to Bullinger.
Original Letters (Parker Soc.), 196.	Is encouraged by Bullinger to write to him in Latin, though he expresses himself so badly in that language. Would not, however, have written this if he had not lost all hope of seeing him this year. Intended to have gone with his wife into Switzerland this August to pay him a visit, but his brother, Butler, now busily engaged in courting a widow of Strasburg, has been away with her relatives this whole month, and “we” are obliged to remain here. As to the state of our commonwealth before Easter last, hopes Butler has informed him, as he wrote to him of everything. Acknowledges Bullinger's letter of the 6th inst., and the previous one by that Frenchman. Left England when he saw there was no place for him there unless he became a traitor both to God and man, on the pretext of carrying on his trade in this place. His true motive is known to his friends, and suspected by his enemies. His property, however, is at present safe, as he has not been indicted for heresy. Remits to England at every fair the money he receives here and at Frankfort to import a fresh supply of cloth. Butler returned to England after the last Frankfort fair, but did not dare to remain more than 18 days. Begs him to keep secret the contents of his letters except from Bibliander, Pellican, Leo Judæ, &c. Thanks him for his information about Falckner. Desires to know the names of any God-fearing men yonder who purchase English cloth.
