435. The Council to Paget.
The King has received his of the 13th and 20th, and is pleased
with his diligence and dexterity. As to "their fond suspicions and
imaginations" that the King intends war against them and has concluded
an amity and marriage with the Emperor for that purpose, and as
to the renovation of their former treaty (fn. 1) here; the Emperor's ambassador
was here at Court in the Whitson holidays about the edicts on both
sides, of which our merchants complained, and then went to Flanders
for a resolution, and, since his return, has been here for the same purpose,
and it is agreed that they shall revoke their edict, and the
King afterwards surcease his statute, but as for amity, league or
marriage, whatever overtures have been made, there is none concluded;
and so you may affirm to the Admiral and all of the Council who speak of
it. If they suggest renewing the overtures lately made by the French
king, you may say you can give no certain advice, but think that if they
renew it they will have reasonable answer, provided they offer reasonable
conditions, to show "that they seek rather friendship than gain and
lucre;" for the King is easily induced to grant reason where it is reasonably,
and with honest reciproque, required.

438. Mary Of Hungary to Chapuys.
Waiting for news of what he may have already negociated. Sends
packet of letters from the king of the Romans, addressed to the Councillor
de St. Moris, with credentials and instructions. As St. Moris is not likely
soon to return from Spain, sends Chapuys a copy of his instructions,
that he may excuse him if detained on his way to England. He was sent
to beg Henry's assistance against the Turk, and Chapuys is meanwhile
to use his instructions as if addressed to himself. Francis is daily increasing
his army on the Luxemburg frontier, and the infantry force
which his ministers have raised on the side of Cleves and Gueldres. We
have remonstrated through the Imperial ambassador and asked if he mean
to observe the truce of Nice. But he only says that the assembly on the
frontier of Cleves is for defence, not invasion, as long as we do not give him
occasion, for he hears Henry is about to make alliance with the Emperor
and the Count de Roculx is meditating an attack on some French towns.
He has also sent a gentleman to give us notice that he intends sending
his own officers to St. Pol to administer justice, and collect the revenue—
a formal demonstration that he means war. We have therefore ordered
the immediate levy of 25,000 foot and 4,000 horse, with which force, and
that of the King of England's subjects in those parts, we hope to defend
our frontiers. We have discovered treacherous dealings here and there
to surprise towns and fortresses. Brussels, 28 June 1542.

439. Chapuys to Mary Of Hungary.
Has just received hers of the 25th inst. Could not have written
sooner what passed when he was last at Court, owing to a fit of the gout
in his right hand, which seized him upon his return from Greenwich.
Moreover, things have not advanced one step, these Councillors insisting
on an additional clause being appended to the treaty of Cambray about
commercial intercourse, in order to make it perpetual. Another difficulty
is that in the article about rebels they will only comprise
the Emperor's Spanish subjects, not those of the Empire. They
insist also on the defensive aid being given at the time the
offensive league is executed, and that the obligation shall only
last four months in every year, either consecutively or as need
requires, and that if either prince wants them longer he shall pay for
them himself, unless the other requires them for his own defence. They
wish it also agreed that these auxiliaries may be employed by a prince,
not only for defence of his territory, but for pursuit of his enemy within
his own kingdom; and, further, that if either prince be invaded, the
aggressor shall be held the common enemy of both. This is an article on
which they particularly insist; also that the invasion of France be fixed
beforehand not later than 1 July next year. They decline to make a
special article against the Dukes of Cleves and Holstein.
After long disputes on these points, and much bravado on the part of
the English, as if they did not need our services, we have agreed—though
not without some mystery, which time will unravel—that the promise in
the Emperor's note to keep the matter secret should be prolonged till
October next, and that the King, on my assurance of the Emperor's good
will, would send to Spain the bp. of Westminster, one of the deputies, to
settle the points amicably; that meanwhile, to prepare matters, Chapuys
should be always near the King (as in fact he has been ever since his
return from Flanders) till a final settlement be reached, as he hopes it will
be in the next 24 hours. The Bp. is to leave immediately for a seaport 150
miles off, and will be accompanied by a man of Chapuys's, bearer of this.
If, however, George, the Imperial messenger, should arrive meanwhile—
which would be a most fortunate coincidence—and if his stay here is to
be short, Chapuys will endeavour to have the Bp.'s departure delayed, and
make George the bearer.
Forgot to mention that he heard on his return to London that the
King had willingly enough granted that the defensive league should comprise
the Emperor's Spanish subjects, as well as those of the Low Countries
in case of an invasion from the French or Mr. D'Allebrecht, but not from
any other belligerents, and that the article should be drawn, first in
English and afterwards in Latin; but four or five days later the whole
was changed, and there was no more talk of it.
Mons. de Reuz, whom he met at St. Omer, told him that, with a few
English soldiers, such a body of horse and foot as could be hastily collected
in Artois without causing alarm could easily take Monstreul by surprise,
and it could be fortified during the winter; and that after they had over-run
the neighbouring country, Hesdin, Therouenne, Ardres, and even
Boulogne would have to surrender. On his return Chapuys submitted
this plan to the King, who was marvellously pleased with it, and approved
of Chapuys's advice to send a message to the Emperor on the subject, and
write to the Capt. of Guisnes to put himself in communication with De
Roeux. The King is now arming a number of warships, not to be taken
unawares.
No news of this country, except that the King has still by him the earl
of Desmond, the chief lord of Ireland, who has come to do him homage—a
thing many of his ancestors never consented to do. London, 29 June
1542.

441. Chapuys to Charles V.
The bp. of Winchester, having lately been obliged to leave his
house for fear of the illness (sweating sickness) (fn. 2) and to come near
Chapuys's lodging, Chapuys has had every opportunity of being civil to
him. One day when he came to dine with Chapuys they conversed from
early morning to late in the evening of the state of Christendom, the
Turk and the practises of the French. Finds the bp. very well inclined
to the closer friendship. The day after his visit to Chapuys he was invited
to dinner by the Lord Privy Seal, and on his return spent a few
hours again with Chapuys, as he did also in the two following days. He,
the lord Privy Seal and Wriothesley, thought Chapuys should apply for
an audience with the King to say he feared his offers in the Emperor's
name had been misunderstood, as he had had no reply. The time was
favourable, they said, as they had just done him the signal service of promoting
the loan in Parliament, which had already brought in an incalculable
sum of money, and this would give them greater opportunities
of seconding Chapuys's views.
Sent accordingly on the 16th (fn. 3) for an audience, which was granted on
the 18th. (fn. 3) Just after the return of his man from Greenwich the bp. of
Winchester gave him the Emperor's letter of the 3rd, (fn. 3) with the powers
therein mentioned, and other papers that Mr. Quenevet (Knyvet) had forwarded
from Orleans, who pretended that he was detained there by illness,
and the fatigue of travel, but really awaited the return of one of
his secretaries, whom he had despatched a month before to learn how his
own affairs stood in England, and whether it was safe for him to come.
The packet came quite safe, and the Bp. shortly after called on him,
showing great satisfaction at his having received the powers from the
Emperor. Talked with him about the best means of persuading the
King to the closer friendship, and he approved Chapuys's plan, except
that he ought not to tell the King it was expedient in his own interests.
That his own Councillors would endeavour to show him. Agreed with
this advice, which has been his general policy. Went to the King on
Ascension day, (fn. 4) and was received rather more cordially than usual. He
was then going to mass, and he thanked Chapuys for his zeal in the
matter, and was glad his powers had come, as he could speak more
frankly what was in his mind; but Chapuys must promise the strictest
secrecy, both for himself and the Emperor. This promise being given,
he said what had made him keep neutrality hitherto was a suspicion that
there was some secret agreement between the Emperor and Francis to
reveal to each other whatever passed between one or the other party,
and himself. Chapuys said he knew of no such agreement; (fn. 5) if there was
such it must have depended on the truce of Nice, which the French had
violated many a time, and the Emperor had ample occasion, not only to
mistrust them, but to form leagues against them; that the Emperor had
always been desirous of the increase of alliances with England, and that,
if he had known one tenth part of what he now knew of the malice and
perfidy of the French, Henry would not have had to complain of his
answer when he called upon him after Francis's capture at Pavia to continue
the war. But, he trusted that are long, there would even be a
better opportunity of bringing Francis to reason.
The King seemed pleased with his speech, but was then going to chapel,
and promised to reply fully after dinner. After dinner he sent word by
the Lord Privy Seal that he could not give him audience at once, as he
had just received letters from France with the contents of which he would
make Chapuys acquainted; and he desired him to come to his private chamber,
where he would be found "à la domestique, en robe de nuyt." Was conducted
to the King by the lord Admiral. Henry began by saying Judas
non dormit, and that the French were continuing their bad practices.
They were expecting Count Guillaume de Furstenberg with 8,000
lanzknechts, and M. de Longheval, who would one day be Grand Master
of France, had started for Cleves, not only to excuse Francis to Duke
William for not having been able to send him his promised wife, but to
induce him to send troops to Gueldres, while the Duke of Holstein would
attack the Dutch by sea. The letters further said that it was most
important for the Low Countries to keep an eye on the castle of La
Moutière (sic), which the French sought to surprise. They were also
continuing their practises in Italy, especially with the Venetians, whom
they were helping by their influence with the Turk. So that there was
great appearance of the Emperor being molested on many sides.
Chapuys replied that the Emperor's affairs were in no such plight,
and while he had been soliciting the King's alliance he had taken
care to preserve old friendships, and make fresh ones; that the French
were quite mistaken in acting as they did, and that it would not cost a
farthing for the King and Emperor to defend themselves mutually. The
King said, before determining about the alliance he must know what the
Emperor intended about the duchies of Milan and Gueldres. Said, as
to Milan, he had no idea; as to Gueldres, the Emperor could not act
otherwise than he had done, or abandon the pursuit, his right being
evident. As to Milan, the King said that considering the difficulty of
defending countries so far apart, the Emperor might keep it for life and
get the estates of the Empire to defend it, on the understanding that it
should be incorporated with them after his death. As to Gueldres its
conquest would be difficult, owing to the hatred of the people to the inhabitants
of Brabant, and, considering his relations with Germany and
France, the Duke might be a dangerous enemy if the marriage so much
talked of should take place; also while using his forces against Gueldres
the Emperor would be prevented from driving the French out of Piedmont.
The King thought it would be better to gain over the Duke, who
must now be dissatisfied with the French for not having given him a
wife. Were Henry called to settle the matter he would offer him one of
his own daughters. In that way the Emperor's honor would be safeguarded
—he might grant the duchy of Gueldres to the Duke, on such
conditions as he and the Queen of Hungary thought fit, and make use of
the forces of Gueldres and Cleves. That would cut short the designs of
Francis for this year at least, and the Turk, finding that he could not
stir, might quarrel with him for not fulfilling promises.
To this Chapuys replied that there was no need of incorporating
Milan with the Empire, as there were plenty of other means of setting the
German states against France, without counting the effect of a good
victory over the Turk, for as the King himself confessed, the Germans
were well aware that Francis was the sole cause of his descent on Christendom,
and would no doubt unite with the Emperor and him for the double
purpose (1) of indemnifying themselves for expenses incurred, and (2)
to clip the wings of France so that he should interfere no further. By
these means the other Christian powers could easily be brought into the
league, for, if the Emperor took up arms, this would be a fiercer war than
ever, the Cortes having lately voted a marvellous sum on condition that he
did not leave Spain or make peace till Francis was no longer able to
trouble Christendom. But as to the disposal of Milan, the alliance once
made, the Emperor would value Henry's advice more than that of any
other person, and he need not fear his becoming again friends with Francis
if the latter abated his pretensions, for the Emperor could never trust
him again. As to Gueldres, he said, the thing was not so impossible as
he supposed. It was not clear that the Duke of Cleves would be supported
in his claims by Germany, considering that his ancestors, paternal
and maternal, had not only relinquished all right to it, but promised to
assist in its defence when needful, and the Emperor relied on Henry to
aid him in the conquest of Gueldres, just as Henry's father had assisted
King Philip; that the task would be easier now that the Emperor had
acquired Groningen and the lands the last Duke of Gueldres held in
Friesland (?), besides towns in Utrecht and Overviesel. Showed that
it would be an advantage to England if Gueldres was in the Emperor's
hands, and that means might be found of detaching the Duke of Cleves
from France.
The King then began to talk of an indemnity for the loss of his French
pensions, on which Chapuys replied, as graciously as he could, with
arguments in addition to those he had used to his deputies; which the
King took well, and said no more. He complained, however, that secrecy
had not been observed; for the French had heard of the negotiations, and
were endeavouring to rouse the Pope's indignation. Chapuys denied
that the information had come from their side, and the King made a like
denial on his, but, with courteous language, again recommended the
greatest secrecy—like the Florentine who had a sermon preached against
usury that bankers might abstain from it and he himself profit by it. He
ended by saying that he would promptly have powers made for the bps.
of Durham, Winchester, and Westminster to treat with Chapuys, and
seemed this time to be quite in earnest. Judged so especially from what
he said about the Emperor's government of the Low Countries, though
Chapuys had prepared the ground by flattery of his wisdom, with which
he was much pleased. When he said the French were continually offering
him ladies to marry, Chapuys pleased him by answering that no doubt
they would do as they did in the case of the Princess, now Queen of
Scotland, for in marriages they always broke treaty with England,
Francis having given his daughter to the King of Scotland and married
the Dauphin to the niece of the Pope (Clement VII.), then Henry's
greatest enemy, and if they did such things openly they must have done
worse in secret. To darken the picture, told some anecdotes of Francis
and his ministers; and added that, had it been in the Emperor's power
to gratify him with a wife, it would have been heartily done; "et quoique
eusse [a] blasonner les armes des dits François," he would not deny that
the French King and Dauphin were "bien affectionez," not towards him
but towards his country, of the conquest of which the Dauphin has often
spoken.
In reply to the King's assertion that the French had frequently owned
their debt to him, and were ready to pay him by instalments, Chapuys
said for a much smaller sum they would take a thousand oaths, but they
never intended to pay him. The King answered that they wished to
pay, but had not the means, and that they had lately proposed to pay
him out of the first towns and castles taken in a joint war against the
Emperor. Chapuys replied that he would see how they sought to evade
payment by making such an iniquitous proposal; whereas he might easily
get the money by joining the Emperor, as he himself had once owned.
Took leave then of the King and returned to London, where, lest the
negociation should not turn out so well as he hoped, he at once wrote
down every word of his conversation with the King. Had several conferences
with the King's deputies from Saturday after Ascension
to Whitsun Eve (fn. 6) (20-27 May), and on the latter day they were all
summoned to Hampton Court, where, out of regard for the Emperor,
Chapuys was received in a manner that baffles description. On
resuming the conferences, after four days' debating, Southampton lord
Privy Seal and Mr. Wrisley proposed that a rough draft of the articles
already discussed should be drawn up for the King's inspection. But as
there were two articles that he had refused to pass, viz., of the defensive
alliance not comprising Spain, and of the aid demanded by the King for
an offensive one and for a joint invasion of France, with indemnity for the
loss of the French pension, it was agreed that Chapuys should write to
the Queen of Hungary, and, to prevent mistakes, show his letter (fn. 7) and
copy of the two articles to the Deputies. The Deputies were much
pleased with Chapuys's compliance and his offer to go over to Flanders
for quicker despatch of the business. And the King ordered his own
sedan chair for Chapuys's use, and a vessel for his transport to Calais,
where he accomplished in a few days what the Emperor already knows.
On his return was again well received by the King, who, however, was
a little dissatisfied at hearing that the Imperial ambassador was still
at the Court of France and that he had even made overtures for peace;
but he accepted Chapuys's excuses, and let him retire to rest. Since then
has been engaged with the Deputies for 8 or 10 days in the specification of
particulars, which he thought had been already settled connected with
the above two articles, e. g., as to the extradition of rebels, which they
will not understand to include rebels against the Empire, and as to the
treaty of Cambray, in which they would introduce a clause which Chapuys
thinks inadmissible, tending somewhat to perpetuate the present commercial
treaties. His chief objection, however, was to a clause added to
the 6th article to forbid liberty of trading to enemies of either party; on
which Chapuys referred to art. 24 in the treaty of Windsor, and answered
arguments in reply. Has forborne to stipulate in the defensive alliance
that the obligation of defence shall last as long as the offensive alliance,
as the condition would involve an intolerable charge to the Emperor.
The King thinks the [obligation of the] defensive league should last 4
months, while Chapuys has in vain stipulated for 5; but as it is
reciprocal we need not object. Specifies some other demands of the
English and the objections to them. Among these they desired that the
aid by sea should be definite and not convertible into money; which
Chapuys has not dared to concede, because if Flanders were invaded on
the side of Gueldres or Friesland, no assistance by sea would be needed.
What the English thought almost scandalous was that while we solicited
them to an offensive league, we would not agree that the invasion should
take place within a year, as it was important to fix a time; but Chapuys
dared not decide without consulting the Emperor on that and on the
terms of the declaration of war. Has not been able to get the English
to agree to give help against Cleves and Holstein, much less to a specific
article in the treaty touching them, as Chapuys had said he would be
content with the two dukes being considered common enemies if they
invaded. Omits several of the English objections as they will doubtless
be brought forward by the bp. of Winchester (sic : for Westminster?),
and to give his own arguments when Granvelle is now there
would be like trying to increase the sun's light with a candle.
The King did not at first intend to send an ambassador extraordinary,
but he has now decided to send the above-named bp. [of Westminster],
a worthy ecclesiastic, said to be most favourable to the alliance. Most
of the objections raised by the Deputies are trifling, and the Emperor
should not make too much of them. For when this King decides on
anything he goes the whole length; and, considering that he is now at
peace with all his neighbours, and profiting by their dissensions, yet is
ready to throw himself into a maze of difficulties for the service of God
and the welfare of Christendom, it would be prudent to accept his terms
with some slight modifications. Besides, many opportunities will occur
of modifying the articles before the offensive league is concluded, and
the English were never more set on going to war with the French, owing
especially to their intelligence with the Turk, besides the old hatred
between the two nations. It has also been agreed that the clause forbidding
one party to treat without the knowledge of the other is to be
made still clearer and more binding; that the time of the obligation is
to be extended, profound secrecy kept, and a deed drawn up concerning
"the navigation and its revocation edict," as shown in the enclosed documents.
Has kept for a bonne bouche at the end of his despatch that, on his
return from Flanders, he met at St. Omer Mons. du Ruz, who said, if he
had only 4,000 Englishmen in addition to the horse and foot he could
suddenly raise in Artois, he could easily surprise Montreuil, and over-run
the neighbouring country, provided the enterprise took place within
three months, and it would be easy to keep it and fortify it during winter.
The enemy then would not be so foolish as to lay siege to it, and Hesdin,
Therouenne, Ardres, and Boulogne would soon fall, for the harbour of the
last is so bad that in winter they could not get supplies. Has informed
the King of this, and advised him to send a message to the Queen of
Hungary; and, meanwhile, let the governor of Guisnes communicate
with Mons. du Ruz. Thinks no better bait could have been thrown
to draw this King into a war. Advises that the subject be discussed in
preference to any other. Hopes to obtain through it the King's assistance
against the Turk. Indeed, not many days ago he was, according to
the lord Privy Seal, on the point of sending 50,000 cr. to the King of the
Romans.
As the roads through France will henceforth be closed for English
as well as Imperial couriers, and, if the present negotiations end well, the
King says it is important that the Emperor and he should be in constant
and almost daily communication, he is now sending, with the bp. of
Westminster, a sea captain to purchase in Spain two zabras, trusting
that the Emperor will fit out two others to be always ready in port
to bring or convey messages. The Queen Regent herself recommends
this.
Has just received the Emperor's letter of the 5th, which he will obey.
The French ambassador has not visited the Court since Holy Week.
The receiver De Neufchastel, gentleman-in-waiting to the Admiral of
France, went from hence brusquement depesché without seeing the King.
There is no longer any question of the business that brought him, touching
the Orleans marriage. It is true these people, thinking they might
gain something by communicating the news, tell me that their ambassador
had written to say that according to the Admiral's report, if the negociations
for the Orleans marriage did not succeed other offers would be
made to secure this King's friendship, or neutrality at least. Hampton
Court, 30 June 1542.

442. Chapuys to Granvelle.
Cannot sufficiently thank him for the care he takes of his interests,
as appears by the letters of 3 May. Is vexed to hear of the bp. of
London's importunities, not only on account of the annoyance he
must give to the Emperor and Granvelle, but because he has
given the latter no time to attend to Chapuys's private affairs,
without a settlement of which he remains in a shameful state
of perplexity. Hopes, by the Emperor's flattering words, soon to get
relief. Trusts the bp. will be a little more modest in future, taking
example by the bp. of Westminster now going out. If the English had
been reasonable, affairs would have been already concluded here. But
they almost look for carte blanche in everything, exaggerating the
Emperor's need of help, and saying that the Dukes of Cleves and Holstein
are on the point of invading Flanders. Shut their mouths by telling
them in confidence that Cleves would easily treat with us about Gueldres
if we only engaged to help him against England, and that Holstein was
making very good offers to the Emperor's nieces, (fn. 8) and would transfer
to them all the claims he made against England, promising great assistance
to conquer it. In truth the English are right to try and ascertain
the state of the Emperor's affairs, as it is to them a question of launching
into a sea of difficulties and running risks with us when they could
easily pass along in the midst of the storm. Can assure Granvelle it is
not without mystery he has conducted them so far, telling them how much
the Emperor did for them in lending himself to this close friendship.
Among other things told them of the ill will of the French, and that
the Dauphin has often said, half in jest, half in earnest, that he was
Henry's spiritual son, and meant to be his temporal son and successor, —
that it would be quite right, in future, for Kings of France to call themselves
Kings of England, as those of England had called themselves of
France, and that there never was a King Henry in France who was not
King of England also. (fn. 9)
Granvelle knows how important it is to make friends of the English
at present, to check the malice of the French who, regardless of what
Granvelle has done for them at other times, would like to see him now
at the bottom of the sea. If the present negociation should fail, it would
have been much better that it had never been begun; for if this King,
in his disappointment, became our enemy, ships between Flanders and
Spain could not touch at an English port. Granvelle will understand
that to please the King he has introduced phrases into his dispatch that
he has shown. (fn. 10) Begs him also to believe that what he has written to
the Emperor was only out of devotion to his service, for he has received
no other presents from the King than a few artichokes once, and on
another occasion a buck and one large fish, a dolphin, which had been
presented to him. Ventures further to suggest, as Don Inigo used to
do and De Praet did lately to the Queen, that a few pensions should
be distributed here. The Councillors who now enjoy the King's favour
are only two, the lord Privy Seal and Secretary Wriothesley. Two
others, though King's favourites, depend upon them, viz., the Admiral and
the Grand Squire. These latter would be satisfied with little. The
bp. of Winchester would be content with the honour of the thing, and
deserves some sort of reward, having been the first to begin this negociation
out of his good will to the Emperor.
Says nothing about the idea the Emperor once had of sending from
Flanders a personage with letters to this King, for the Emperor knows
best. Has obtained by stealth a transcript of the draft treaty, which
these people once made, and which they have since changed in many
places, as Granvelle will see by the draft which the bp. of Winchester
(Westminster) took with him. Has also sent a copy of the articles as
they were drawn, discussed, and almost approved, but this must be kept
very secret. Begs him, however, to tell the English ambassadors that
Chapuys has worked wonders to bring the negociation to a close. Wishes
him to think about the zabras. Is constantly fighting the Deputies
about Cleves and Holstein, with the same arguments they opposed to
him about the rebels, and finds that the King had previously made
separate agreements with each of these Dukes contrary to our interests.
The King's deputies advise the suppression of the title "bel oncle"
in the letters addressed to him by the Emperor, and of Princess to the
lady Mary; and those about the Regent agree. Begs Granvelle to press
his claim for some reward for his incessant toil since Ascension day.
Has not been able to write this in his own hand for the gout, though it
is better now. The disease has even impaired his mental powers, as
this rambling letter shows. Cannot mention the praises which these
deputies bestow on Granvelle, especially the lord Privy Seal and Secretary
Wriothesley, and the bp. of Winchester. Hampton Court, 30 June
1542.
