987. Henry VIII. to Norfolk and Others.
Has seen theirs, of the 22nd, to the Council, showing that, for
lack of carriages and other necessaries, they cannot achieve the great
enterprise, but will tarry nine days in Scotland and expect the navy to
do some good exploit in the Frith; and also desiring nomination of a
warden to remain on the Borders. Is sorry that, through these lacks,
with all their good will to serve and the great charge incurred, the
damage to the enemies is like to be so little. Marvels at their writing
that lack of carriage is the whole impediment; for he thinks that on
coming to York, or before, they should have stayed the King's works in
that country, and allowed the carriage to refresh themselves, and should
have taken with them all the carriages of Yorkshire, Holderness, and
Hullshire. (fn. 1) They might have devised or even yet take order for
Suffolk to prepare other carriages with victual behind, to be despatched
under escort to a place appointed, where the old "caske" might have
been received back for a "farther renewing," if necessary. The
Scots could not hinder this, unless they assembled an army between
the main army with Norfolk and the army on the Borders with Suffolk.
Suffolk's army might well devastate the country without delaying the
main army to do it. Desires them to excogitate whether by this or other
device they may augment the fame of their enterprise; for it will be
rather to the glory of the Scots if, after levying so great armies and
incurring so importable charges, they do no greater damage than is like
to ensue of their last determination. Must better foresee all things hereafter,
and for this time accepts their good will in lieu of the thing he
desired.
(2) Knowing Hertford's desire to serve, and thinking it not amiss to
have sundry noblemen acquainted with those Borders, appoints him,
whom he has lately named to be Admiral of England, to be warden of the
Marches, during pleasure. Sends his commission herewith. He shall
have 5 marks a day, as Rutland had; and Norfolk and Suffolk, with the
advice of the rest of the King's Council there, shall appoint a number
of the army and garrison to remain on the Borders with him this winter.
They must also, before returning, put the Borders in good order and
punish malefactors according to former instructions. As the lacks which
now hinder the King's purpose have chanced upon things which should
have been provided there, and next year it will be necessary to follow what
is now commenced, Norfolk and Suffolk shall take order against next
year for provision of victuals and carriages.
(3.) If it is not already done, they must demand the prisoners whom
the Scots detain, for ransom according to the laws of war; and, if they
refuse, endeavour to get good prisoners and keep them without ransom.

988. Cumberland and Wharton to [Suffolk].
An espial reports that on 25 Oct. lord Maxwell received letters
from the King of Scots to hasten with all the power he could make to the
East Marches. If he does, it is thought that they will fight on Sunday
or Monday next. Another espial said that all the tried men of the West
Marches and Ledesdale were this 26th day commanded to await Maxwell
at Selbrygg, three miles from Mures, (fn. 2) and that Maxwell's son Robert,
with the lairds of Homehendes and Gretnowe, should lie on the West
Marches "for countenance." This espial says that on the 25th the army
lay at Home Castle, and thinks, by the sound of the guns, which was
heard in Ledesdale, that they won it. As we wrote before, all the Northlandes
men lay Tuesday night in Lawderdale, and the earl of Huntley
and lord Flemyng repaired to them from Jedworthe.
Dond Nyxson, Scottishman, who was sent to Edinburgh, brought
news "the last Wednesday at night," that on Tuesday, the 24th,
proclamation was there made for all men to go forward and they
should have 4l. Scottish, which is 20s. st., the month, and all they
could win. He says the King never rests, and that he saw him and many
bishops that day at the hill of Edinburgh castle, at 10 a.m.; where were
many oxen for carriage of ordnance standing there, but none had then
set forward. Many carriages with victuals, spears, and axes were going
that day to Haddington. The opinion is that they will fight, and that
Huntley, lieutenant, shall have the vaward, for which there is great
dissension between him and Murray. Huntley will have with him the
earls of Ergylle and Lenaxx, earl Bowham, lorde Sudram, lord Maxwell,
with the Northland men, the Marche, Tewsdaile, Lotheane, and tried men
of Nedesdale, Galoway, and the West Marches. Maxwell and the Northland
men lay in Lawdersdale on Tuesday, and were to be that night at
Smallom Cragg. The Scots say they will be between Englishmen and
their home. The sheriff of Aberdeen told Nyxson that he would the Scots
were between the Englishmen and their realm, "so that then it rained
Englishmen," for they would not tarry and had cut the river Tweed for
footmen to pass over. Fife, Angus, and other countries were to be on
Ruslyn More on Wednesday last; and bishops, priests, and friars say
they will fight. The Queen requested the nobility not to suffer the King
to fight, "which is easily granted," and he has promised them that her
friends shall revenge this quarrel. The King sent into the North on
Monday for more men, and gibbets are set up in four countries to draw
in pieces all who do not come forward. One of the wild Northlands men
told Nyxson that their King had there all the tried men of his Northland,
and they grudged that he sent for others, who would only destroy victual
and leave their country waste. Most of the carriages Nyxson saw were
on horseback. He was told on Tuesday that the English had won two
towers and destroyed man, wife, and bairn; and that Dande Carre,
Mark's son, had gotten in Bamberghes shire 100 horses coming to Berwick,
and the King had given him, for his services, a parishing of land.
Another espial, servant to lord Maxwell, says that on Monday last, the
23rd, his master himself proclaimed at the Market Cross in Edinburgh
that all men should be ready with 20 days' victuals, "and said openly
he thought it would have been peace, but now both the realms would be
one shortly; and he himself was in Dumfrysse the XXVth of this inst."

989. Oudart Du Bies to Henry VIII.
Has received his letter from Westminster, 24th inst., and perceives
that he has seen the letter Du Bies wrote to the Deputy of Calais touching
the French subjects detained there. Is sure that in that letter and the
credence he gave the herald he said nothing to shake the amity, which
he has always done his best to maintain. As Henry writes that his
country is neutral and free both to French and Burgundians, begs him
not to permit his men to favour the Burgundians passing through it to
make enterprises against the French, as they did on the day that 18
French subjects were captured when pursuing a booty and its takers.
They are still detained, although they did no hurt to Henry's men; but
he trusts that Henry will deliver them. Boullongne, 26 Oct. 1542.

992. Sir Wm. Evers to Suffolk.
On Tuesday, at 10 p.m., the King's ships of war that lay at Eland
and the Skaytte Rodde passed northwards; and on Wednesday morning
landed boats at Coldingham and burnt Aymouthe and the corn thereabouts,
and slew "a man or two and two or three women," lost one man
slain, and returned to their ships and passed northwards. If Suffolk's
letters do not pass, they shall be returned. The one is left with a "nigh
friend" of Evers, and the other with Sir Marm. Constable in Wark.
Hears that Norfolk and the army pass forward, and the Scots skirmish
nightly with the watch. This last Thursday night certain of this garrison
burnt Aytone, where the Scotch warden of these marches lay, and
took prisoners, who say the whole body of Scotland is "to look upon
our army this day or to-morrow." Berwick, 27 Oct. Signed.

993. Chapuys and De Courrieres to the Queen Of Hungary.
Although this King's deputies, at the second communication, on
the 21st inst., promised us brief resolution of their King's intention, and
we have almost daily solicited it, they have shown great coldness therein;
and we could not meet until the day before yesterday, when they called
us to Winchester's lodging, situated in the way between ours and the
Court. They said that their King marvelled that we would refuse to
express the state spiritual in case of defence, adding to their former
representations that evidently he was not so esteemed as was requisite,
and his quality, will and power were ill considered, or there would be
no question of preferring the Pope's amity to his, whose succession was
continuous and certain, whereas this Pope was very frail and might die
to-morrow and be succeeded by one of the French faction; that he had
such credit with the Venetians as to induce them to league with the
Emperor and him to defend Italy; that it would be folly to enter into
war and expense where his amity was sought with profitable offers; that
God had well aided him by keeping him from believing those who pressed
him to declare against Francis upon trust of the Emperor's good will,
which he found cold and meagre enough; and that, unless the articles
were accorded as he made them in case of defence, or at least one quality
without expression of the state spiritual, he could not and would not proceed.
The deputies hold that all is going to pieces (en rupture), and
show great feeling. We answered so cogently that they could not well
reply; and there was no talk of any other article, the deputies evidently
presupposing that in the rest they will be tractable and more conformable
to reason. By their mien it seems to us that the affair is not yet to be
taken as desperate, and, until we see the case in greater extremity, we
will not put forward the form of capitulating remitted to the arbitrament
of your Majesty, but put it forward when I, Montmorency, take leave of
the King to-morrow, if audience can be had; which the deputies led us
to expect to-day, but perhaps they delay it to think better of their case.
To the King we will resume matters as graciously as possible, according
to the advice and prayers of Secretary Wriothesley.
By Norfolk's letters to the King of the 22nd inst., he was entered
into Scotland, having been delayed two days by the breaking of a bridge (fn. 3)
where some of his men were drowned and hurt, and he hoped, especially
by means of the ships which had arrived, to do some good exploit, and
the Scots had not yet appeared. London, 28 Oct. 1542.

994. Suffolk and Tunstall to the Council.
Norfolk, with the whole army, has entered Scotland, and last news
from him was, from anenst Caldstreme, on the 24th, the army lying
near Warke, that he could not, for lack of victuals, tarry past four days
longer in Scotland, and desired Suffolk to warn all Northumberland to
bake and brew for the army at their return. Cannot learn what the army
has done, as Sir Wm. Ever, to whom Sufolk sent letters to be conveyed
to Norfolk, answers that letters cannot be safely conveyed, and none have
come from Norfolk since the 24th. Dwellers on the Borders say the
army has gone towards Kelso and Howme Castle, from whence was much
gunshot heard, and has done great harm. Enclose report from Wharton, (fn. 4)
showing that the King intends to give the army battle. The Scots ride
so busily between England and the army that no letters can pass. If
all Liddersdale go to the Scottish army, the West Borders will not sit
idle; and likewise the Middle and East marches if Tyffydale goes.

995. Tunstall to the Council.
When Norfolk was at York, the King was informed of an intended
betraying of Norham Castle by means of a vault covered with ashes, which
led into the captain's chamber. Sent to the captain to examine whether
any of his servants had intelligence with the Scots and might counterfeit
the keys; for he knew that there was no such vault. Since then the
captain has examined every man upon a book, under oath to keep it
secret, what part of the house he thought most unsure. Encloses the
captain's letter and the examination, which throw such suspicion upon
John Cokke that Norfolk has committed him to ward, and he lies fettered
in the low dungeon at Norham, Norfolk having now no leisure to examine
him. To allay suspicion, the writer has caused the hole covered with
ashes (described) to be built up. It is in the utter ward, which was never
made for strength, but only to keep cattle in at night, and has certain
towers in it for the country people repairing thither for safety to lie in.
The inner ward is so rampired with double walls filled up between with
earth that ordnance may play upon them. The scaling that Cokke speaks
of would need too long ladders, and he is deceived in saying that the
watch is kept on the other side, for two watch in the inner ward and four
in the outer in all times suspected, besides the scoutwatch without, which
must discover bringers of ladders. One of the watch in the inner ward
stands upon Clapam Tower, which, he thinks, should be scaled after the
scaling of the outer ward. Alnwick, 28 Oct. Signed.

996. Norfolk and Others to the Council.
Are this day forced to turn homewards, and next night shall be
their last in Scotland. The principal cause is lack of victuals; for few
of the army found victuals, bread and drink between York and Newcastle,
and much worse in the four days' journey from Newcastle to Berwick.
Since entering Scotland, the most part have drunk nothing but water
these five days, and eaten no bread since they left Newcastle. Unless
Norfolk and Browne had made large provision of oxen and sheep, there
had been much more lack. Never thought Englishmen could endure with
so little and yet be willing to go forward. Have come through such ill
passages that the wains are broken and the drink thrown away, and
ordnance and carriages have been with difficulty brought hither. Will,
to-morrow or next day, dissolve the army. If the river Tweed had risen,
and forced them to return the way they came, they must have left most
of their carriage behind; for, where they thought to march seven or eight
miles a day, their greatest journey has been five miles, and yet they set
forward daily by break of day. The amount of corn destroyed is incredible.
Yesterday Sir Ant. Browne rode six miles further and burnt
eleven of the best towns and villages in the Marshe, and devastated the
country, which was full of corn. Meanwhile the camp burnt this town
and abbey of Kelsall, which is reckoned the Edinburgh of the Marshe and
Tevidale, and the villages near. Hertford and Gage, having nothing
more to do, will return to the King when the army is dissolved, and make
full report. On Tuesday two French ships, laden with ordnance, passed
into the Frith, and John Care with the navy followed them six or eight
hours later.
Long to hear who is to be warden here, and how many shall lie in
garrison, who should not be less than 3,000, and can be victualled from
the South. Few of the horses of those in garrison before are able to serve.
Enclose a letter from Suffolk, dated the 25th, showing that he is returned
from Morpeth to Newcastle. Marvel at it, for they expected him to
remain as warden of the Marches until another should be appointed.
Will desire him to leave his men on the frontiers, as they are paid for a
month from Sunday last, until horsemen may be picked out of my lord
of Cumberland's rule (500 or 600), Kendal (200 or 300), and Yorkshire.
This day and yesterday 19 men have died with drinking puddle water
and lack of victuals, and many more are like to follow them.
P.S.—Wrote the above yesterday, at Kelsall, but had no sure conveyance.
Devastated the country as they came hither, and will this day
do the like, and at night dissolve the army. The King willed Norfolk
and Browne, before leaving these parts, to view his garrisons and reform
the offenders of Northumberland. Will do their best for the garrisons,
and fear nothing but the mine for Wark, which is otherwise not pregnable.
As the war is so hot, will not attempt reforming the offenders. They
two will remain at Newcastle until they hear from the King, while the
other two repair up with diligence; but it will be nine or ten days before
they arrive there. Hawtell, in Scotland, 28 Oct. Signed by Norfolk,

997. Norfolk to Gardiner and Wriothesley.
Write in their common letter that the horses of the late garrison
are too poor to serve. Sees no remedy, unless Suffolk's band be left until
fresh men may be picked out. The Scots will try and recompence the hurt
done in Scotland, so that, unless the garrisons are right strong, much
hurt shall be sustained. All Hallowtide is approaching, when the custom
is to diminish half the garrison; but, for this year, Norfolk dare give no
counsel. This was the goodliest army he has seen, and had it been set
forth with victual two months earlier, 'we might have done what we
would without great resistance."
In his own hand.—Begs them to obtain his licence to return. His old
disease of the lax is marvellous sore on him, as my lord of Hertford and
Mr. Comptroller know. Hears that the King has distributed the late
Privy Seal's things. Prays that the house of Bath Place may light on
him, who has no place in London; for he has no entry in Excestre Place
"but only of lending." His cost and pain in this journey has been
treble any other man's. 28 Oct., before day. Signed.

998. Invasion of Scotland.
"In the 34th yere of our Soverayne lord Kynge. Henry the Eght,
the Actis done in Skotland, under the honorable lorde, Duke of Nortfolke."
On Sunday, 22 Oct., Norfolk went from Berwick with his army
royal to Gayncelaw, and camped there. On the 23rd to Banoxburne,
where was an alarm that night and four Scots taken "that came for
spies and for to steal horses," who were commanded to be hanged next
morning. On the 24th to Ekkyls, and that day were many skirmishes
and certain Scots taken prisoners. That night the scout watch took four
spies, who were next morning hanged in an old house in the town. On
the 25th to a fair ground beside Kelsay, shooting the great ordnance at
bushments on the hills and skirmishing, divers Scots being slain and
taken prisoners, and some of ours taken who ventured too far. On the
26th our men entered Kelsay and spoiled and carried away much goods
and took or slew divers Scots. A tall man of ours that was above in the
abbey looking forth was killed by one of our gunners in mistake for a
Scot. Certain of our men were taken, and some slain. After spoiling
the town our men burnt a great part of the town and abbey. That day,
Norfolk burnt 20 towns about Kelsay and took many prisoners, and that
night "our gonners shote a goodly peall of gonnes at Rovarce." On the
27th, for lack of victuals, all came over the water beneath Kelsay and
camped that night at Redyne; and on the 28th they came to Berwick.

1000. Norfolk and Others to Henry VIII.
In answer to his letters of the 26th, received this afternoon,
certify that long before coming from York, they commanded the
President to have certain carts and wains at Newcastle on the 18th;
yet few came, nor was there bread or drink here to lade
them with. Most of the army neither ate bread here nor all the
time they lay in the field. The biscuit came from London in ships that
could not enter this haven, and only came to Holy Elande, from Newcastle,
the day before our departure hence, so that we could not tarry
for it. That laden in small ships was such that of a 1,000 weight would
not be made here 500, and half the beer was consumed and the remainder
sour. Could not spare the carriage horses here, where they were needed
for the horsemills and to carry wheat into the country to be ground.
Beg him to think they have done all in their power. Will accomplish
the rest of his letters, but think it unwise to punish the malefactors when
the war is so hot, as they wrote to the Council yesterday. Berwick, 29

1002. Hertford to the Council.
This 29th Oct., at 3 p.m., received the King's commission to be
warden here. Is not suitably provided to serve; for he came in post,
with but three or four servants, upon promise of finding all necessaries
here, whereas he found but a bare tent, and was more unfurnished than
the meanest gentleman in the field, all my lord Privy Seal's stuff being
already sent away to his ships. As Master Gage can declare, "they" had
charge of such a company here as Hertford, being a stranger among them,
could hardly rule; and to remain here with those who know him still less
and without provision or servants would be to his dishonour, as he trusts
they will declare to the King. He that serves here had need to be allied
among them of these parts, and it would engender a grudge among
those noblemen here, whose men he must use, if they perceive a stranger
to have the charge and themselves to sit still. Begs them to solicit the
King "with expedition." If he were furnished and thought he could
serve, he would not seek means to avoid it.

1004. Bonner to Henry VIII.
On the 10th inst. sent to Saragosa, to a special friend of his and
my lord of Westminster's, a packet to be conveyed to Thos. Hollande
at Bilbao, and thence forwarded. It contained a recital of his letters
to the King of 11 and 24 Aug. 9, 14 (morning and evening), and 20
Sept., and 4 Oct., and enclosed the declaration of war and the indiction
of the Council at Trent with the Emperor's answer. Therein was
declared, also, the reception of the Cardinal of Portugal, Michael de
Silva, on the 27th ult., the coming of Doria and of 4,000 Almains, the
French retreat from Perpignan, the Emperor's going from Monzon (the
Cortez there ended 6 Oct., and the Prince was there sworn) towards
Barcelona, and the Prince's going to Saragoza and returning to
Barcelona, and thence to Valentia, without going at this time into Italy;
also the conspiracy at Venice between the French ambassador and one
of the secretaries, and the taking of Chirasco and Veroa in Piedmont
by the French.
Coming from Barbastro to Barcelona, learnt that the Emperor arrived
there from Montserat on the 16th inst., and was for some days in council
with Alva, Grandvele, Doria and Covos. Doria went by land, on the
23rd to Rosas, where the galleys and the Almains, who are reduced by
sickness, remained. Thereupon it was published that Grandvele and
all his sons (especially Arras) should pass into Italy and Germany; and
on the 29th five galleys arrived for them. With them go Don Francisco
'de Este, Mons. de Herbes, of the Emperor's chamber, the secretary of
Lorene, who lately came hither; and also, as prisoner, Pietro Fatinello,
who pretended to be ambassador of Luque, and, being convicted of conspiracy
with the Conde de Anguillar, who fled to the French, is sent to
Luque to be tried. At Rosas, of late, died Mons. de Bury, marques de
Quarate, who was in high favour, and had been in England. The
Cardinal of Portugal tarries longer than he would owing to the sickness
of the duke of Cameryne. A new ambassador, Nic. de Ponte, is come
from Venice and is sore sick; also one from Florence, called Guissardin,
who has been in England. John Bandyn returns to Florence; and the
old secretary of Venice, who since the old ambassador died at Murcia,
has supplied the both rooms, departs home.
The French army is retired from Perpignan to Narbone, and incursions
are made on both sides. As the Turk and Barbarossa are expected
to attack next year, the Emperor will cause the Prince to be accepted
everywhere (as he is at Monzon and Saragoza), set good order for defence
here, and go next spring to Italy. On the 25th a jubilee was
proclaimed here for a subsidy to be levied against the Turk (copy enclosed).
Perhaps the Bishop of Rome, who is partial to France, does
it to satisfy the Emperor or else to pick men's purses of their money.
Mons. de Altisten, who was sent to Buda, is returned, but nothing
is spoken of the doings there. The Frenchmen began so bravely
that Barcelona built certain fortifications (described). Count
Baptista de Ladron is here to receive money for these Almains, who
shall repass into Italy. The Prince is looked for daily, to be sworn here
for the province of Cathalona.
Had written thus far when a secret friend showed him that Count
Baptista de Ladron said that, as the French were again stirring in
Rousillon, the Almains should be stayed; a sign that they will wait and
go to Italy with the Emperor in the spring. Grandvele's going is to
order matters in Italy, which are not in best frame at Geanes, Luques,
Florence and Milan, and to prepare to meet the French in Piedmont and
provide against the Turk. He and Arras go by Trent to explain the
Emperor's not coming or sending prelates to the General Council.
Some think they go to Venice to provide against the Turk and the
French king, who is out of favour there since the late conspiracy. In
Germany he will solicit the recovery of Buda, and aid against the French
king and the Turk; and then go to Flanders to incense people there
against the French, For these premises there shall be a Diet in
Germany and Grandvele "principally goeth unto the same."
Begs payment of his diets, which are 3 months behind, and post
money. Barcelona, 29 Oct., at night. Signed.

1005. Wallop to the Council.
On 28 Oct., 80 Burgundians brought into the English pale a booty
taken at Bukhowlte, 1½ mile from Arde. Twenty-five footmen of Arde,
with others of the country, pursued and skirmished with them till within
half a mile of Guisnes, and certain of the garrison of Arde were taken;
whereupon the captain of Arde wrote to Wallop for them. Answered
that if they had been driven into the Pale they might have claimed their
liberty, but, since, by pursuing, they violated the franchise of the Pale,
he might have taken them if they had not been taken by the Burgundians.
To this Mons. Chenchevall's standard-bearer, who brought the letter,
could only answer by praying Wallop to keep the prisoners until further
trial. Sent for the chief of the Burgundians, and declared the captain
of Arde's demand, and that they could not keep prisoners taken in the
King's pale. He said they took them in self-defence, but would leave
them in Wallop's hands till it were known whether they were good
prize; (fn. 5) and meanwhile two of the Burgundians, who were the Great
Master's servants, should learn his pleasure.
Found these Burgundians, when the French and they were communing
together, very quiet persons, and content to leave the prisoners, whom
otherwise he intended to have stayed. Asks whether to deliver the
prisoners to the Burgundians or keep them as prisoners for infringing
the franchise. Keeps them here in the town, well entreated, one being
steward of the captain's house and the others his chief servants. There
were 11 prisoners, divers of whom were taken without the pale and are
delivered to the Burgundians. Two or three were killed in the skirmish.
Would not suffer the Burgundians, being so many, to enter the town, but
commanded them to sell their booty and depart the same day. When
they were gone a mile on their way, the bailiff of Guisnes sent a serjeant
to stay them till they paid him for every beast, cow, mare or hogge,
and took from a Spaniard a coat of mail he got from a prisoner, being
the captain of Arde's steward. He took two of their number in pledge
for the money, demanding also money "for the blode wightes that whas
betuyxste the Frenchmen and them." Asks whether to suffer the bailiff
to take such things, "who, I ensure your lordships, is a very unquiet
person, and I think he cannot show that any such precedents hath been
used heretofore."
Received theirs of 26 Oct., on the 28th, by Guisnes pursuivant, whom
he despatched, 29 Oct., to Mons. de Bies. Perceives by their letter that
the Great Master of Flanders has taken two Englishmen at Arras, who
were conveying certain horses into France, and that the King has required
the Emperor's ambassador to write to him to send them to Wallop. The
owner of the horses, an Englishman, says that the Great Master had
written to the president of Arras to send the horses to Wallop if he wrote
for them, and also restore the Englishman's other goods and punish those
who ill-treated him. Wallop accordingly wrote in a letter to the Great
Master and sent it by the Englishman and a gentleman of his own, and
expects them here in two or three days, with the horses, which, the owner
says, are all English save one.
Guisnes returned this day with Mons. de Bies's answer, who is
"redowced and savors that he hathe sene a kinges letter," and begins to
conform to reason, complaining only that the Burgundians are lodged in
the Pale before they make their enterprises. Has divers times forbidden
the lodging of Burgundians either before or after enterprises. Has also
a letter, this morning, from the captain of Arde, confessing his men's
fault, and asking their deliverance upon paying their ransoms to the
Burgundians. Replied that he would not deliver them until he knew
further. Sends Guisnes again to learn the King's pleasure in this.
Rendall Rewall, deputy of this castle, had 8d. a day in Calais, and
came hither with the lord Deputy's licence. He will surrender his 8d.
a day, and begs them to write to the treasurer of Calais to pay it up to
6 Oct. The treasurer has paid him nothing since his coming to Guisnes.
He does his duty well, and is feared and reverenced by the soldiers. If
in their next letters they would mention that the King takes his service
in good part, he should live the longer. He has continued with Wallop
since Tournay was given over, and is more like a governor than a servant,
for his profitable counsel. The King knows him well, "of whom I spake
to his Highness at his last being at Dower."
Prays God to send my lord of Norfolk victory over the King's enemies.
Has this day caused "a mass of the Holy Ghost, as well in the castle as
in the town of Guisnes, to be said, with procession; and so to continue
thrice a week till we hear tell of his return." Guisnes, 30 Oct. Signed.

1008. The Queen Of Hungary to Chapuys and De Courrieres.
When busy answering their letters of the 18th inst., received
those of the 22nd, which facilitate the despatch; and she hopes that,
since the English begin to hear reason, they will do the like in the rest.
After examining the treaty which they demand, and weighing all that has
passed, she was of opinion that it would be difficult to agree with them,
for fear of thereby falling into greater trouble with the King of England.
Answers questions in theirs of the 18th. (1) That it is not expedient
that the treaty should be remitted to her, even if the English were to
propose it; and if they break off the King must be persuaded that the
Emperor and she will still continue perfect amity with him, in accordance
with ancient alliances. (2) As to the points in difficulty, amply debated
in the Emperor's letter to Chapuys, of which she has the copy, they know
how her advice is limited by precise words, providing that the treaty
must be so made as regards the Pope, rebels and hantize as to be open to
no reproach; and they must remit nothing to her concerning these
limitations. If the English had persisted as to the Pope and rebels she
could not have consented to any alteration; the Emperor's command
must be precisely followed in both, save that the time of making rebels
withdraw might be moderated, provided that the rest of the article of
the rebels is passed as in the treaty of Cambray. (3) Hantize seems to
comprehend the 2nd and 13th articles of the treaty, and she cannot
enlarge further than the Emperor's letters allow, but thinks the King's
Council might be persuaded to leave out the restraining clause of the
2nd article, from the words ut mercatores mercimonii exercendi causa to
the words aut principali diplomate fuerit indultum; otherwise they
would show a wish rather to restrict existing amities than to contract
closer. It is notorious that he who lands in another country must conform
to the laws and statutes there. By the treaty of intercourse of the
year '20, which they would confirm, these countries could never attain
reasonable intercourse, mainly because the English do not observe the
said intercourse as regards payment of tolls and imposts, which, by it,
should be according to the treaty of 1495, by which subjects of this
country should pay no other dues in England than they paid 50 years
before, when they paid only what the Easterlings now pay. Explains
that the article should be as in the treaty of Cambray, or the matter of
intercourse (which concerns merchants) left out and not mingled with
that of amity (which concerns princes), as it was in all treaties before
that of Cambray. (4) The eighth article, touching the number of men
to be sent upon requisition, is very unequal, and she could not in forty
days assemble 3,000 horsemen at that pay. It should be seen that the
English do not name small pay because they know that their money
would be asked rather than their men, who are not too practised in war
(aguerroiés), whereas they would ask men rather than money. Details
further arguments on this, but, seeing the state of affairs, thinks it better
to pass something in this article than to break all. (5) As to the interpretation
of the treaty and enforcement (precise execution) in case of
contravention, the articles are so couched as rather to give occasion to
break it at will; and no difficulty should be made in altering them to the
accustomed form of treaties; and she sends a clause of the treaty of
— (blank) as a guide. (6) As regards defence and offence, refers it
to the Emperor's letter to Chapuys. (7) The dukes of Cleves and Holstein
should be named as enemies, being at war against the Emperor;
but, if that cannot be obtained, it should be expressed in the treaty that
the Emperor may treat with them without the intervention and consent
of the King. The article is too general, that nothing may be treated
with princes of the Empire or other neighbours without the King's consent,
and it should be restricted to things prejudicial to either prince
or derogatory to the present treaty.
If they must break off, occasion should be taken for it upon the three
points of the precise interpretation and enforcement (execution) of the
treaty and the prohibition of treating with other princes without the
King's consent. These they must see accorded as the Emperor wrote in
his last letters to Chapuys. Bruxelles, 31 Oct. 1542.

1009. Edmond Harvel to Henry VIII.
Wrote on the 22nd. The withdrawal of the French from Parpignan
is since divulged to their shame. The marquis of Guasto continues
to prevail against them in Piedmont. In Hungary the Christian host
has withdrawn from Pest with shame and damage; through the perfidy
of the Hungarians, whose chief man, Perinpeter, and his son are, therefore,
imprisoned by Ferdinando. All the host is dissolved, and the
Italians returned to Italy. The Turks proved themselves good men of
war and were well provided. The bishop of Rome has appointed three
cardinals (Pole among them) to assemble the General Council at Trent,
but all is thought to be dissimulation.
Thine, an island in the Archipelago, belonging to Venice, has surrendered
to the Turk. The Turk has raised the customs in Surye from
2 per cent. to what it was in the sultans of Egypt's time, viz., 10 per
cent., which will ruin Venetian trade there. The Turk is incensed
against the Dominion for the little respect they paid to Janus Bey, who
came to practise in favour of the French king. The Almains make a
Diet at Noremberg for the business of the Council and matters of
Hungary. Venice, 31 Oct. 1542.
P.S.—Letters from Constantinople of 3 Oct. mention that the Turk
was going to Andrinopoli with his wife, and had set two of his sons to
govern provinces of Asia, with 60,000 and 50,000 ducats apiece, and
was making great provision for next year. Two thousand footmen are
gone from Sicily to Spain, and 6,000 Almains are coming to join Guasto.
In Almain they "lament of Ferdinando, for th'abusing of their money,"
which should have paid the soldiers.

Petition to the Emperor's ambassador by Henry Dowe, of
Bolswoert, in Friesland. Thirteen weeks ago took his ship, the Bryer,
into Norway, and, on his return, hearing that there was war and pirates
out in the sea, he sought a place of safety and anchored, 6 Oct. last,
near Cromer, within an arrow's flight of land. The same night a
French pirate boarded the ship, bound petitioner and his fellows and
sailed with the prize to Cromer, where they sold it to Thos. Wodhous
for 60 cr., although it was worth 300 cr. Wodhous then permitted the
pirate to depart, retaining the ship and goods, and sent petitioner and his
fellows empty away.
