536. Adrien De Croy [Sieur De Roeulx] to Wallop.
Can make him no present at this time but three Spanish horses,
of which he sends one, which, although not of the youngest, can do a
good day's work. If any young Englishmen wish to make pastime of war,
with a gentleman [i.e., for their captain, see No. 541], the writer will
send money to Montoire or Auderwyck to pay them; provided they take
oath to the Emperor against all but their own country. The King
might withdraw them when he pleased. Bethune, 26 July 1542. Signed.

538. Francis I. to Marillac.
Has received his of the 16th, relating his conversation with the
King of England upon what Francis wrote from Ligny. Although the
King of England commonly makes such complaints when he means to
remain friendly, Marillac must be on the alert; for it is reported that
the King of England has lately sent the abp. of Canterbury (fn. 1) in all haste
to the Emperor, and, he is already arrived at Toledo, and gone in post
to the Emperor at Monçon. Does not write to l'Aubespine, supposing
him already departed.

539. Cardinal Cervini to Cardinal Pole.
Upon Pole's letter about Alessandro de Bologna, taken there
with two English youths on the 25th, questioned Messer Francesco
Casale, who said he knew nothing of Alessandro, except that he went
to England as a servant, with his brother the Cavaliere Casale, and
there took service with the King as a rider. The letter implied that
Alessandro was informed by his friends in Bologna that he was entitled
to certain money of the said Cavaliere, and he was coming to Rome for
it. He never commissioned him to bring English youths to Rome. Has
informed the Pope of the whole matter, who thinks Pole should keep
Alessandro in custody and examine him diligently. Rome, "a' xxvij."

di Luglio del 1542."
At Viterbo, Alex. Bolognese and two English youths, who pretended
to be a merchant and his servants, all Flemings, were recognised as
English. Some of "our" servants recognised the said Alexander as
as an old servant of the King [of England], a horse rider (cavalcatore),
and in good position at that Court. Being discovered he confessed he
came from England on his own affairs, and had ordered the youths
to call him a merchant and themselves his Flemish servants. Although
the youths were separated from him they have persisted that their
master is a merchant, and that, although they have been with him in
London three years, they never knew him to be the King's servant or a
rider but a simple merchant. They are detained as to be suspected.

540. The Borders.
An instruction given to Sir Robt. Bowes, now sent to the East
and Middle Marches foranempst Scotland.
As, notwithstanding the late promise of the King of Scots' commissioners
that good rule should be kept on the Borders, outrages (described)
have been committed by the Scots immediately upon the departure of
the Commissioners, and the lord Maxwell has "slipped" two days of
truce, the King intends to send thither the earl of Rutland, Sir Robert
Bowes, and others, to whom Sir Robert has letters, with a convenient
force. As the Earl cannot be ready soon enough, Bowes is sent thither,
with diligence, to levy 600 men for the month 12 Aug. to 9 Sept., and
await the Earl's coming. On his way he shall instruct the Earl to
leave orders for raising 400 men to be ready to accompany him, and
meanwhile repair to the King for instructions; delivering the Earl
200l. for that purpose. Arriving at the Borders, he shall inform the
wardens that the King wishes them to be vigilant and to keep good
rule, unless the Scots attempt the contrary (in which case they shall
"have one shrewd turn for another"); which determination for good
rule he shall notify to lord Maxwell and the officers of Scotland. He
shall then cause John Heron and the pensioners and active men to be
in readness, and the Borderers to get their hay and corn into safe places.
He shall have good espial upon the Scots, especially whether they have
ships ready for sea. When he has been there four or five days, and
seen how things tend, he shall advertise the King.

541. Wallop to the Council.
This morning Mr. Wingfeld sent this gentleman, the bearer,
his petty captain, for advice whether to suffer Frenchmen as well
as Burgundians to pass the bulwark at Bowtes, being a highway from
Bredenerd to Calleis; for of late came a Frenchman, who said he was
going from Arde to Marke, to whom Burdecke, warden of the masons
there, said that way was no passage. The Frenchman thereupon
turned back, and passing through the Emperor's ground, adjoining the
turnpike by Bowtes, was taken by Burgundians. For that, and to show
the forwardness of that bulwark and other works in the Marresse, sends
bearer, Mr. Fostall, who has been very diligent in the oversight of
them.
In the Emperor's camp beside Dist, are about 14,000 to oppose the
duke of Cleves, who will either march on Andwarpe, being within 4
or 5 days' journey, or else join the French army. All the French forces
on these frontiers repair towards Mons. de Vandosme. All from Arde
except the ordinary garrison are gone, yesterday, under De Torsey's
son. De Torsey said yesterday that there was a bruit of a truce procured
by the bp. of Rome. If the Turk's affairs proceed not so well as
the French king expects, he will, perhaps, considering how all his armies
are answered, make peace. The Emperor desires nothing more than
peace, and has forbidden any enterprise upon French ground, and restored
a booty of cattle lately taken, although he has taken order
against invasion by the French. This morning came a servant of the
Great Master with a letter (enclosed) (fn. 2) and a present of a goodly gennet.
In the letter he "once again required me to have certain Englishmen
with some gentleman to be their captain." Answered that at present
all here were in the King's wages; but if any others came who desired
to see the wars he should be informed. The servant's news was that
the prince of Orrenge has entered Andwarpe, the Regent being at
Macklen, fearing the Clevoiez, who are marching thither; that Mons.
d'Orleans is withdrawn from Luxemburghe and Mons. de Vandosme
encamped at St. Poll.
At 1 p.m. this day received theirs of the 26th, and at once went to
Calais, and was with the Council by 3 p.m., "and shall not fail, by God's
grace, to put order accordingly." Guisnes, 28 July. Signed.

542. The Earl Of Surrey to the Council.
Although he has required the favour of each of them severally,
by his servant Pickering, and has as yet no other comfort than his folly
deserves, he renews his suit and begs them to impute this error to the
fury of reckless youth. When he so quickly sought for friendship and
deliverance, he forgot that a Prince offended has no redress upon his
subject but condign punishment. If he were again reconciled, this
punishment would prove a valuable experience. Meanwhile he begs
them to look into his past life, which is unstained by anything unbecoming
such a man as God and the King have made him. The pestilent
air of this noisome prison is likely to injure his health, and he begs them
to be suitors that the King may grant him favour and liberty, and he
hopes in the King's service to redubb this error. Is not the first young
man that has enterprised things he has afterwards repented.

Inquisition taken at Sandwich, Friday, 28 July 34 Hen. VIII.,
before John Monynges, lieutenant to Sir Thos. Cheyney, constable of
Dover Castle and warden of the Cinque Ports, by a jury (named); who
say that, 18 Feb. 33 Hen. VIII., a hoybark coming out of Selond laden
with wheat, brasell, iron, steel and other merchandise, on the 21st of
the same month, grounded upon Goodwyn sands, and two days after
the mariners of the coast going to it found only the stern posts and
keel, the goods floating on the sea 20 miles off or else sunk, which they
say is a wreck. In proof of which they allege four similar cases (described)
in the wardenship of Sir Edw. Poyninges and Sir Edw. Guldeforde,
which were held to be wrecks.

545. Wallop to the Council.
Being at Calais yesterday with the Council, about provision of
hay and other things, was advertised by Thos. Pawlmer that Mons. de
Verven said, on Wednesday last, that this day or to-morrow he should
know whether to take us for friends or no, and if for enemies Guisnes
should repent it within 48 hours. Repaired hither and caused 60 to
watch and work outside the castle gate all night, as 40 or 50 do nightly,
because the gate is not yet covered, and the braies lie open and dry.
This night hopes to have the water about the castle. Thinks it time
to take heed, for this morning he learns that all the country lies full
of men of war, who repair not so fast to their camp as was thought; and
yesternight De Beez sent to Arde for 50 gunners to shoot great pieces.
Their enterprise is said to be for Turneham, but Wallop will take it
for Guisnes, and will this night begin taking into the castle nightly
Captains Pawlmer and Vaughan with 300 men, taking the Surveyor
in also, and piles sufficient to rampire the gate, and removing the
powder from between the gates to other towers, for the loops where it
lies must be used for defence of the gate, "being the place where the
treason should have been executed, as it is thought." The Frenchmen
say "We mistrusted a treason which was discovered;" which saying will
serve if they charge us with mistrusting them. Promises to render a
good account of the castle and keep. As for Purton's bulwark, the
Three Cornered bulwark and the bulwark beside the Mill, will put good
guard in them, but, in case any great army besiege them, they must
be in great danger for victuals and otherwise. Writes to the lord
Deputy to look to his charge, because the tower is fallen beside the
Lantern gate.
Yesterday received their letters, dated 23 July, of the coming of Mr.
Ponynges with 200 footmen. The rather he come the better. In
three days trusts to have the town "mawnded" round about, sufficient
for any course made with 4,000 or 5,000 men. Guisnes, Sunday (fn. 5) morning,

547. Christopher Mont to Henry VIII.
At Frankfort learnt that the forces of the duke of Saxony and
Landgrave were gone to besiege Molhausen, which was last year
seized by Henry, duke of Brunswick. The dispute between the duke
of Brunswick and the people of Goslar about a mine was by the
Emperor referred to Commissioners, but the Duke ignores them. This
rivalry between the Duke of Saxony and Landgrave, as captains of the
Protestants, and the dukes of Brunswick and Bavaria, as captains of
the Catholics, and aided by the Bishops, may involve all Germany in
war. The bp. of Mentz is raising soldiers, but whether to guard his
own diocese or assist Brunswick is uncertain.
Of the Turkish expedition is nothing worth telling; for the Imperial
forces are scarcely yet assembled. Ferdinand has not supplied the men
he promised at Spiers, and the Emperor charged the Marquis of Brandenburg
to attempt nothing until all the forces were there. Three days
ago Ferdinand came to Nürnberg to preside at the Diet, which is likely
to be very small. Francford, 29 July 1542.

549. Edmond Harvel to Henry VIII.
Wrote on the 8th inst. Letters from Constantinople of 24 June
certified the arrival of Polino, the French ambassador. Is told that
the Turk, in reply to Polino, refused to lend his navy to the French
king without hostage of one of the King's sons. It is thought that
navy will do nothing this year, and there is no mention of the Turk
going to Hungary, where he has sufficient men to defend Buda. Cannot
"perceive that the Christian host proceedeth with any great vigour
or celerity in this expedition of Hungary." It seems strange that
Ferdinando should leave his camp and go to Noremberg. About 10
days ago an ambassador from the Turk arrived here, demanding 100,000
ducats' recompense for certain ships of Barbarossa's taken a long time
past by Venetian galleys. The Venetians will do their best to satisfy
him. Lately 6,000 footmen came from Almain to Milan, where Guasto
has 20,000 men in wages. Leaving 4,000 horsemen in Piedmont, the
French will invade Navarre. Some think they will go to Savona and
some to Geane, but if the Turk move not the Frenchmen shall have
spent their money vainly, and the French king is spending 300,000 cr.
a month. Guasto is minded to take the field against Frenchmen in
Piedmont. Venise, 30 July 1542.

Guisnes has been employed. His Majesty commands us to thank you

554. Paget to Henry VIII.
Received on the 22nd at Digeon, a letter from Henry to the
Admiral for the relief of his (Paget's) man, and another from the Council
describing the French ambassador's conference with Henry, with
command to ensue the same form of answer here. As criminal proceedings
here before the provost de l'hostel are very summary, and the
adversaries made hot suit through Madame d'Estampes to have his
man "trussed up," Paget went to the King, who had already heard of
the matter from the Admiral, and at once benignly granted what he
desired, so that he forbore to deliver the letter. Thanks and protestations
of obligation.
This King is waiting at Argilly upon the Sone, two days' journey
by water from hence, until his war provisions are past this town; when
he will go to Avignon, which he may easily do by water. He has sent
the Queen, Dolphiness and all the ladies to Bloyes, with all except the
principals of his privy band. Of the taking of Danvilly in Luzenbourg,
a place of little strength, and other doings in those quarters Henry will
have more trustworthy knowledge than can be got here. Mons.
Dorleauns has written to his father that he will show himself his son
and shortly render him the duchy of Luxembourg, but complaining of
the slack coming of the lanskneghtes provided by Count Guillaume and
other pensioners, who are only 5,000 or 6,000, instead of 12,000 or
15,000. Count Guillaume has been here, alleging the danger of the
proclamation throughout the Empire, and his own promise to serve
none but the Empire during the war against the Turk, and has returned
to Almain, leaving his cousin, the baron of Hadeck, to govern
the lanskneghtes here. His refusal, with the revolt of the Palatine
Wolfgang, want of money, and "slack coming on of money from the Turk
(if any come)" has "babbyshed" our enterprises; as the Imperials
have lanskneghtes enough for Nether Parts, Italy, and Spain, and the
Emperor has kept his credit, and can get money readier than we. Six
weeks ago, the Queen of Hungary received of the Fockers and Belgers
of the Nether Country 250,000 cr., and the Emperor has received in
Spain 600,000 cr., whereas we here have much ado to get any. Of this
town the house of Luke lends 100,000 fr., the house of Florence 200,000
fr., the house of Belgers 50,000 fr., and the French merchants 50,000 fr.,
this King giving for surety the Custom House here, and paying the
French merchants 10 per cent. and the strangers 16 per cent. Letters
are also sent to Paris for 200,000 cr., to Rowen for 200,000 fr., and to
every other city, county, and personage of estimation for loans. Pulciano
is gone out of Spain to Rome, contrary to his promise, at which
great expostulation is made by the Admiral to the Nuncio. I know
we here would have treated for all as we did for some, for on Sunday
week the Admiral and the Emperor's ambassador, by commission, concluded
a neutrality between Franche Countie and Bourgoy[ne], which
was first moved by the Admiral, and the Emperor has never moved
anything but the continuance of the truce, to which they give no ear,
publishing by sermons and letters that the truce is broken by the
Emperor's offence. Longevale and the bands of Cleve are passed, and
shall shortly join Mons. Dorleauns. On Thursday last the Emperor's
ambassador had leave to depart in post to Spain, sending his carriage
to his house in the Franch Countie. This King will be here to-night
or to-morrow, and, without tarrying, will march forward. The Dolphin
departed on the 21st, to be at Narbone on the 31st, when Danebault
shall be there with his Italians, Swiss, and lanskneghtes, which will
be far fewer than reported, so that Count Russy is sounding the drum
here and in the towns hereabout for more men. Within this fortnight
2,000 pioneers have passed hence, and 500 more are ready. On 10
Aug. the whole army for Spain is to advance towards Saulses, an
almost impregnable stronghold of the Emperor's, by which they must
pass within gunshot or else climb the Montayns Pyreneys. Describes
the position of the town which "in the French carte" is written Salles.
Proclamation has been made in Bourgoyn for carrying victuals into
Languedoc, which is easily done by the rivers Sone and Rhone. The
Chancellor and Card. of Turnon are proclaimed lieutenants on this side
Paris. The Emperor lies at Monson, near Barcelona, and hastens
galleys to Genes, for 8,000 Spaniards and Almains, whom Guasto has
ready to send. Some of the galleys took a Turkish galleot issuing out
of Aigues Mortes wherein were 60 Turks and 40 Christians. Guasto,
who hitherto has prepared against invasion, is now appointed to invade,
and is wasting the country of Piedmont, but not assaulting the towns,
and intends to enter Provence as soon as the siege is before Saulses.
He has all the best captains of Italy and 18,000 foot, besides those he
sends to Spain; as Langey has written hither.
The Bishop of Rome is besieging Signor Petro Maria Conte de Santo
Secondo in Santo Secondo, to the displeasure of this King, whose servant
he is, and who has written to the Bishop to "levye" the siege. To
gratify the Emperor, the Bishop has banished from his dominions all
Florentine exiles. The king of Cuke, a vassal of the Emperor's in
Barbary, has defeated the Algerians, and asks aid of the Emperor to
take Algiers. The Danes have taken certain hulks of the Hollanders
bound to Spain with wheat. The Swedens are all gone hence, and the
Queen of Sweden's brother, here called the prince of Sweden, is looked
for again shortly. The gentlewoman of whom he is amorous is Mdlle.
de Rieux.
There have lately been in Ireland two Spanish friars, (fn. 7) sent by the
Bishop of Rome to practise with O'Nell and O'Donell. They passed
through Scotland with letters of commendation to the king of Scots,
who gave them instructions for O'Nell, and promise of aid, and sent
with them the brother of the bp. of the Isles, (fn. 8) who lies at Conkile, between
Scotland and Ireland. The said Spaniards and the Bishop's
brother arrived here two days ago, on their return; and, being arrested
for spies, confessed to the lieutenant of this town that they did no good
because the Scottish king kept not his promise. The Bishop's brother
says his brother sent him to Rome to receive instructions there, and that
if Henry makes any business with France, the Scottish king will
straight molest him. Wrote once before that the Cardinal of Scotland
was going home. He has now taken leave, and ships are prepared for
him at Dieppe. At his departing he had long and earnest conferences
both with the French king and Admiral. They long for Laubeespine's
answer, for they have Henry in great jealousy for practising with the
Emperor, and sent Laubeespine only to "decipher" him. Every man
who comes to Paget is sore suspected. Lyons, 31 July. Signed.
