732. [1581.] THE CARDINALS AT MILAN to HENRY VIII.
Have received his letter by Jacobus Monterus, dated Richmond, 11 Jan. Return thanks for his promises of assistance in these perplexities of the Roman church. Would have been glad to have asked his advice on matters public and private. They have been governed solely by their wish to serve the Church. Regret that their letters to him were sent to persons at Rome to their prejudice. Beg the same will not be done with their present letters. They seek for peace not war, and the reformation of the Church. Hope he will not listen to their detractors. Milan, 2 April 1511. Signed: "B. Carl S. ✠, S. Carlis Narbonen', F. Carlis Cusentin', F. Carlis de Sancto Severi[no]."

733. [1582.] B. CARDINAL S. CRUCIS to HENRY VIII.
To the letters brought by Jacobus Monterus, of the writer's chamber, they answer in common. They are in expectation of some advantage resulting from the arrival of the ambassadors of the Emperor and the King Catholic. Hopes the King will not forget one who has always been faithful to his father and himself. Milan, 2 April 1511.

734. D'ARIZOLLES to ROBERTET.
The King of England writes to the King in answer to the letters lately sent by this bearer. Wrote at length by Lespine. The King of England writes to the King how the King of Aragon has asked for 1,000 archers to go with him to Africa against the Infidels; and he says that he himself would like to go in person. Money has been sent, by letter of exchange, through Genoese merchants here; and four Biscayan ships have been retained, in which the men embark at Falmouth on 15 May. The King and Council say that they are to be employed against the Infidels only, for this King is in peace with all the princes of Christendom. Winchester and the Council advise him not to present the King's letter touching the death of the Prince or say a word about it at present, as it would only revive their King's grief. They were glad to hear that the King was so willing to pacify differences with the Pope and had sent M. de Paris. Tells them M. de Paris is the most tractable man in France and says much in his praise—as indeed he deserves.
Wrote in his last about one Conton's credit with the King of England. Is advised that a pension of 400 cr. or 500 cr. would be well bestowed upon Conton. Is sure Robertet would pay it himself if he knew how much the man can do for the maintenance of the amity. It should be done as soon as possible and the letters sent to the writer, as was done in the case of the Great Treasurer and Great Master. Some who have the King's pensions here are very old and the pensions will cease when they die.
The Pope sent one Andrew Gryst, a native of Pisa, to be collector here and solicit the King of England against France; and, because he has failed to obtain a declaration against France, the Pope now wishes to deprive him of his said office. He has asked the writer to obtain him safe-conduct into Italy with 11 persons. The Pope has done as much to Doctor Ficher, the man that passed by Bloys on his return from hence, who, because he did not bring such an answer as the Pope desired, was forced to go away to Rome. Begs that he may have the safe-conduct by the first that comes. These bishops and others who want to serve the Pope try to gain Conton. The abp. of York deals wholly with him because he thinks all the others who have influence are pensioners of the King.
Has written to the Prévost de Tours Bazeges to solicit the Généraulx in his private affairs. London, 8 April.

The Bashaws answered that they did not believe it and the Sultan would never break his word.

740. HENRY VIII. to LOUIS XII.
Lately learnt that one Boniface, provincial of the Friars Minors Conventual in France, upon pretext of reforming his Order, vexes the Cordeliers of the Observance, with a view to bring them under the rule of the said Cordeliers Conventual, contrary to the confirmation of a chapter general held at Rome three years ago. Knowing the good rule, honest life and good conduct of the said Cordeliers of the Observance, begs Louis to show them favour. Greenwich, 13 April 1511.

741. MARGARET OF SAVOY to [CLAUDE DE CILLY ?].
After she had done her utmost to make the league between the Emperor, the Catholic King and the King of England, sending to the Emperor, among others, John de Marnix, her secretary, who had been first author of the business, the Emperor took up a sinister notion that the Catholic King would deliver Naples to the Bastard of the Archbishop of Saragossa and so defeat the Prince's succession there. You are to show this to the Catholic King and ask the truth, requiring him if the report be false, as we hold it, to send a trusty person to the Emperor with letters declaring that he never meant to take Naples away from the Prince. Ghent, 14 April 1511.

Cannot follow his advice not to attend the wars in person. The circumstances are of so much difficulty that Ferdinand feels he ought to be there. Has written to Carroz, for whom he begs credence.

Is to write back what he wishes to be done with the preface to the poems, as Mountjoy is not entirely satisfied.
