1 Feb. Calig. D. VII. 84. B. M.	56. ENGLISH and FRENCH MERCHANTS.
	Summons from Anthoine Le Viste, knt., sieur de Fresnes, and Jean Hurault, sieur de Vybraye, councillors and masters of requests of the (French) King's household, to the first usher of the King's great council, ordering him, at the request of Richard Chamblay (Chamberlain), knt., "cappitaine du Chasteau de Londres," Robert Goudwin and Jehan Quoquesal, merchants in England, John Abinton and Robert Wardel, captains of vessels, to command Guillaume de la Fontaine, otherwise called "Le Moyne de Bayonne," to answer the allegations of the said complainants, whose vessels he had spoiled and plundered in September and October last. Paris, 1 Feb. 1518. Signed.

2 Feb. Calig. D. VII. 85. B. M.	57. SIR THOMAS BOLEYN to WOLSEY.
	On Sunday last my lord of [Ely, Sir Richard] Weston and Master Fitzwilliam, left for England. The same day the French king went ahunting to Mons. Montmorency's, and will not be back till tomorrow or Friday. The English merchants who sued for restitution are gone to Roan, except John Eston's factor and those that were spoiled in September and October last at Bayonne and Bordeaux by La Fontaine. None have been able to prove their complaints except Robert Goodwin of Ipswich, who has but one witness. On Boleyn's remonstrating with the Grand Master "in his chamber in the court, where he lieth sick of the gout," the Chancellor and Mons. de Fresne, one of the commissioners, against the delay of payment and the difficulty of proof, the merchants only bringing bills of complaint or showing letters of testimonial from Hull and Newcastle, he was answered that letters of testimonial are only hearsay evidence, and by the treaty they must have witnesses. To save the expense, and expedite matters, they have agreed to send at their own cost a [commissioner to] England to examine such witnesses as the English merchants can produce, or refer it to two judges in England, who shall return the depositions to the commissioners here. Desires Wolsey's resolution. The merchants object to sending forth the adjournment to Rochelle and Bordeaux, and to this examination of witnesses.
	The Chancellor ascertained him, as a great secret, of the death of the Emperor, and that certain of the Electors had expressed their willingness to do Francis pleasure, but he had refused to take any part before he had sent information of the matter to England. "... Tournay was, that my lord Chamberlain was at Tournay, and sent to Peronne to Mons. le Marchall de Chatyllon to come to Tournay, for all thing was ready." Mons. l'Amiral is sent into Lorraine; Mons. de la Varnade, one of the commissioners for the merchants, into Almaine; De la Guyshe, to my lady of Savoy. On the 17th his hundredth day of pay expires. Sends a week before, as desired. Begs Heron may deliver the money to the bearer. Yesterday received a letter by the French post from his highness to Richmond herald, as Brian Tuke writes. Richmond is at Roan. Paris, Candlemas day. Signed.
	Add.: "To mine especial, &c., my Lord Legate Cardinal and Chancellor of England."

4 Feb. R. O.	58. WORCESTER, DOCWRA, VAUX and BELKNAPP to WOLSEY.
	Left Peronne for Tournay on the 27th Jan., to prepare the ordnance for conveyance to Calais by water, and to set the soldiers in order, that they might be ready to depart to the King's honor. On leaving Peronne, "were in hand with" Mons. Chatillon and the general, who was to pay the 50,000 francs, to see if they would do so, as Worcester wished to pay the soldiers before the delivery of the town. Worcester, Docwra and Vaux offered to remain with them as pledges, and enter the town with them; but they said they had no orders to pay the said sum till the delivery. The writers said that should be done as soon as they had heard from the Treasurer of Calais that the six hostages were in his keeping; with which Chatillon was well contented. Arrived at Tournay on the 30th, four days after Belknapp. Wrote to Robert Fowler for money from Calais, by which five or six days' wages will be saved. Garrison and artillery will be ready to depart at the foresaid day, "and sorry we would have been that the Frenchmen should have heard the reckonings that hath been with the said soldiers for their debts."
	Enclose a letter from lord Ligney to Jerningham, and another from Hedyng to Worcester. The day they entered Tournay, Ligney delivered Mortaigne to Hedyng, for the king of Castile and lady Margaret, and went to a place of his called Baillewe, in Hainault. Sent him, by Clarencieux and Russell, the King's letters for the deliverance of the castle and town, with "letters patentes of peremptorie summance," in case he should not comply. They have not yet returned. On Candlemas Eve, Hedyng brought Worcester a letter of credence from lady Margaret, to the effect that Ligney would not deliver Mortaigne to her and the King of Castile till she had promised him, under her seal, to persuade Henry to give him some recompence, as Mortaigne is his inheritance by the King's grant, and he had given it to his son. They answered, they had no authority to speak on that matter to any one, except to De Ligney, to whom the King had delivered the castle, and had sent an officer of arms demanding its surrender. Hedyng replied, that his mistress had sent to the King, and she was only bound by her writing to do the best she could to get Ligney recompensed, and when she had Henry's answer she would deliver the town to whom the King pleased. He hoped the King would reimburse Ligney for his expences. Said they could make no promise. Offered to receive the place, and certify the King of it; but he had no such orders.
	The same day received Wolsey's letter dated Westminster, 28 Jan., with a copy of the King's letter in French, desired by Mons. de la Batte, the French ambassador. Are "sore troubled and called upon" for Wm. Pawne's debts for works done in the citadel, and stuff for the building of it. They must be paid, to avoid slander and other troubles that might ensue. The only authority they have to pay is Wolsey's letter, dated Westminster, 11 Jan.
	The day after their arrival spoke with the governors of the town and those of the chapter, and intend to do so again in Chatillon's presence. They professed gratitude to the King, but evidently are "gladder to return French than to continue English." Have not yet heard from Sandes of the receipt of the sixth hostage. When they do so will deliver the town.
	Desire the master of the ordnance, or some other, be appointed to receive the ordnance at Calais of Belknapp, Jerningham and Thos. Herte, or their deputies. Have delivered the King's letters to the deputy, &c. of the garrison. They are all willing to return home. The French king has written to Worcester about the view of the places for the meeting. Wish to know the King's pleasure at their coming to Calais. As no one of better rank than the captain of Boulogne will be sent, one or two of the officers of Calais or Guisnes will be enough for the first view. Tournay, 4 Feb.
	Clarencieux and Russell have returned from Ligney. He received them with many good words, but returned them the King's letters. A copy of them both was accordingly given him. Enclose the copy of a letter from him to Worcester. He told Clarencieux that he and his son had delivered Mortaigne to the lady Margaret only for the King, trusting the King would give them some recompence. Are informed by Herte that there is "a pale" remaining here which was in the field at the King's being in these parts. It would cost three times its worth to carry it to Calais. The guns and iron work are shipped; the boards and old wheels are left. They can be sent for any time this half year. Have just received a letter from Sandes, saying that he has received the sixth hostage. Have accordingly written to Chatillon that they are ready to perform the King's promise. Trust he will be here on Monday or Tuesday. Will then return to Calais, and so to the King. Signed.
	The stuff that Pawne has to sell will not fetch much unless the French officers buy it. It will not cover his debts. Are afraid the French will not take it, as, though they spoke of it at Paris, they have not done so since they came here.

9 Feb. Calig. D. VII. 88. B. M.	70. [SIR THOMAS BOLEYN] to HENRY VIII.
	Received on the 7th Feb. letters dated 31 Jan., directed to himself and the bishop of Ely, with two others; one to the French king, and the other to his mother. Delivered the same to the King as he came from mass in his chamber. He took Boleyn apart to the window; told him he had heard of Henry's satisfaction at the entertainment of his ambassadors; said that Henry had set him the example;—that he could not do half enough. Boleyn told him that his master, on hearing the death of the Emperor, had sent information of that event, that they might act in perfect unity; because, as in the new Emperor there will really be vested the monarchy of Christendom, it was important they should proceed prudently and harmoniously. "Whereunto he bade me lean out at the window with him, and he would tell me what he had done in it, and his whole mind; what further he intended to do he would speak with my Lady his mother." He told Boleyn several of the Electors, perceiving the wish of Maximilian that the King Catholic should succeed, and that he "was old and sickly, and, by reason of a running," in danger of death, had expressed themselves favorable to Francis; first, because of the greater service he might do against the Infidels, "which he sweareth is most in his mind;" and next, the great good he might do in Christendom betwixt all other princes:—that he has the promise of four of the Electors, under their hands and seals; that he is endeavouring to bring over Cologne and Treves, and hopes to accomplish it by means of the duke of Gueldres, and another duke of Almayn, whose name Boleyn does not remember. He is rejoiced at the aid promised him in the late letters from England, especially as "your grace" does not pretend to it yourself, as his ambassador [informed] him.
	Boleyn told him that he had received no notification of this matter, but only to know his opinion. He repeated that he had heard from his ambassador "of your loving and favorable mind towards him," and would send str[aightway to the] Lady his mother, who lay the night before at Villeroye ... [at] the further end of Paris, to be with him within two hours. On Boleyn saying that the letters should have come to his hands sooner, but for the contrary winds, he said, "Contrary winds hindereth [many] matters." The [Queen] mother, on receiving her letters the same afternoon, expressed her delight at the alliance. Paris, 9 Feb. Signature burnt off.

12 Feb. Calig. D. VII. 91. B. M.	74. [WEST BP. OF ELY to WOLSEY.]
	Thursday, 8 Feb., the King's ordnance was dispatched "out of the danger of Tournay." The same day marshal Chatillon lodged within a league of the town with a French general called Hurat, 1,200 horse and 500 foot; and the same day the writer, in company with Robert Fowler, received 50,000 francs in crowns of the sun, i.e. 26,315 and 30 sous "Tournois". Refused to take his acquittance until he was in part possession of Tournay, when "he caused his trumpets to be blown, and displayed both his own banners and the duke of Vandon's, Mons. Pyons, captain of Bayard, and others, with the wivelers' banner for conduct of the footmen, and set forth all his artillery and his company in array like as he should have joined battle." On the writer objecting to this proceeding as suited more to a conquest than a surrender by treaty, Chatillon answered that he knew better how to enter a town than the writer did. However, on reference to the lord Chamberlain and others, the King's ambassadors, Clarencieux was sent forbidding the Marshal to enter in that form. After certain arrangements the Chamberlain delivered his discharge to Sir Richard Jerningham, took the keys of him and delivered them to Chatillon, and entered the town, riding by his side. Afterward he surveyed the walls, and satisfied himself that there was no more ordnance.
	On Friday the writer rode to Mortaigne, and received it of Mons. Hedin, and delivered it to Mons. Pressye, who had received authority from France for that purpose. It has been strongly fortified by De Lyny. The King's ordnance has been stopped at a place called Odyner (Oudinard). Proposes going to Antwerp to hire ships for its transport. Begs that somebody may be appointed to receive it at Calais by indenture with Mr. Hert; and that protection may be granted for certain soldiers going to England, to be specified by Jerningham.

	When the King heard Pace say that Wolsey was so ill with "the murre" he could not hold up his head, his grace said, "Alas! I am sorry therefor, and I would be glad to see him; which I said should be as soon as your grace might go out of doors." The lord Marquis has sued for letters from the King to the bishop of London for the preferment of his brother to the archdeaconry of Colchester; but the King, hearing it was worth only 100 marks, "said it was more meet for his secretary than for his brother, and that he would write for me therein;" and immediately commanded Mr. More to write in Pace's behalf.

Wilkins' Concilia, III. 660	2. Wolsey to Archbishop Warham.
	Has seen the copy of his monitions directed to the Archbishop's suffragans, commanding them to repair to Lambeth to keep a general council for the reformation of enormities, "forasmuch as it hath pleased the King's grace, like a noble and virtuous prince, to move you thereunto." Wolsey is assured that the King will not have him so little esteemed as Legate "that ye should enterprise the said reformation to the express derogation of the said dignity of the see apostolic, and otherwise than the law will suffer you, without mine advice, consent and knowledge; nor ye had no such commandment of his grace, but expressly to the contrary; and that well appeared where his grace and highness willed you to repair to me at Greenwich sitting in administration of divines in the quire." The Archbishop must appear before the Legate, and explain his reasons for disobeying the King's command. As Wolsey intends to be at Richmond for eight or ten days, which is not far distant from the Archbishop's place at Mortlake, this interview "shall not be much incommodious" to his grace. From my house of York.
Wilkins' Concilia, III. 661.	3. Wolsey to Booth Bishop of Hereford.
	Commanding him to attend a council (concilium) for the reformation of the clergy, to be held on the Monday after Ash Wednesday at St. Peter's, Westminster. Westm., 31 Dec.
	ii. The Same to the Same.
	Although for the reformation of the clergy he and other bishops met at Wolsey's house on the day after the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin, the convocation has been put off until the Monday after Ash Wednesday next, in consequence of the plague raging in the city of London. Meanwhile the Bishop is to put in practice articles already agreed on for the reformation of the clergy, that on his arrival in town he may be able to report what good has come of them. 21 Aug. (?) 1518.
Wilkins' Concilia, III. 681.	4. The Bishop of Hereford to William Webb, Archdeacon of Hereford, and his Clergy.
	Summoning the clergy to attend a synod for the discussion of certain articles lately submitted by Wolsey, as papal legate, to a council of bishops of the provinces of Canterbury and York lately held at Westminster. Hereford, 26 April 1519.
Wilkins' Concilia, III. 662.	5. Constitutions of Wolsey for the province of York, selected from the canons of his predecessors.
	These turn upon the following subjects:—The plain preaching to the people, in the vulgar tongue, of the articles of belief; the administration of sacraments; tithes and offerings; duties of archdeacons and priests; jurisdiction, and cognisance of matrimonial causes; holidays; appeals; the life and honesty of the clergy; nonresidence; monasteries; repairs; immunities; simony; and the like.
R. O.	6. [Thomas Gould] to [Warham] Archbishop of Canterbury.
	The great malice of Warham's adversary is abated and discouraged, "for he perceiveth the great love and favor that ye have in the room." Hears from Dr. Sexten that he proposes "secretly to handle you in the præmunire." Some of the council say that if Warham had been called before "this great tyrant" they would not assist him, so that it would be more to his rebuke than Warham's. Spoke lately with my lord of Norwich, who keeps himself firm and stable towards God and his church. Met him at More gate, going secretly to Master Ursewick's with one chaplain and two servants, and he promised that "he would assuredly stick by you, as his hand was in mine at our departing," saying also that the Cardinal laid nothing to his charge as yet, but would have him keep his day next Lent, and that, if the King would not suffer him to have his lawful defence in the case of præmunire, he would forsake him as his liegeman. Departed thence to Fynysberefelde.
	Asks his favor in the matter of the benefice, and that he will take his brother's title, as he died intestate, and no man had the ministration of his goods, so that Warham alone has a right to this "wooson." Mr. Olevyr, Gould's parish priest of Bowe, executor of Sir William, his former priest, will go to him about it. Has promised him his good will. London, 14 Feb., "by the hands of your old chaplain, and it shall please your lordship, our Lady of Stanyngs in London, which is in my wooson, and to content Master Olevyr therewith."

20 Feb. Vesp. C. I. 247. B. M.	84. THOMAS SPINELLY to WOLSEY.
	Wrote on the 5th from Our Lady of Montserrat concerning the news of the Emperor's death, which arrived on the 2nd. The master of the posts being absent, delivered the letters to the audiencer. The King came on the 7th to "a house of plasence" two leagues hence, and staid till the 13th, when he made an honorable and triumphant entry. Duplicate expeditions were meanwhile sent secretly into Almany and Flanders, "doubting the intercession (intercepting ?) of the posts." On the 17th received Wolsey's letters of the 4th, and those of Henry VIII. to the Catholico, containing amongst other things credence, which, after a careful perusal of the former, he delivered to the King in the presence of the cardinal of Tortosa and Chievres. Charles is much pleased with Wolsey's consolatory message on the decease of the Emperor, and Henry's determination to observe the amity, which Spinelly is convinced he is also firmly resolved to maintain. If anything has gone wrong it is owing to Charles' little experience, rather than lack of good will. Charles is satisfied with the accounts from England of the hostages given by the French, though the French tell him they are but four younger brethen, and there are more English gentlemen in the French court, their equivalent. Spinelly has assured the King that, notwithstanding the treaty of amity between France and England, the ancient love of the latter for Burgundy was so rooted that it could not be shaken; that since the death of the Emperor, Wolsey had induced the King of England to delay interfering in behalf of Francis, notwithstanding his assiduity and his affirming that he was sure of four Electors; had advised secret means to be made with the Pope to advance the interests of the Catholico; that none would suit better for this purpose than the cardinal of Sion; and he had written to that effect to the Pope for the Cardinal, and caused Campegius to do the same. This news has been very acceptable to Charles, who has sent to thank Wolsey, and will do so by deeds as well as words. 2,000 florins of gold have accordingly been sent to the cardinal of Sion. The Pope will probably lean to the side of the Catholico, as neither he nor the Venetians, nor any other states of Italy, wish the French king to obtain the empire. If his Holiness decline the mission of the cardinal of Sion, Charles desires Wolsey to instruct the English ambassador to advance his cause with the Pope.
	Disputes the asseveration that Francis has obtained four of the Electors, as he has not had time to negociate, and would not want assistance if he had. Chievres has informed him that, instead of 100,000, as reported, the lady of Angoulême has not laid out 80,000 crowns; and the fellowship of Belzers, dwelling in Lyons, by letters of the 14th, write that a general of France has been negociating for a loan of 200,000 florins without effect. Dining with the Chancellor he was told that Francis had boasted he would spend a whole year's revenue to secure the election for himself or a friend, who is thought to be the duke of Saxony, favored by the elector of Treves. This will not matter if the four Electors keep their promises,—sc. the cardinal of Brandenberg, the archbishops of Mayence and Cologne, the count Palatine, and Joachim marquis of Brandenburg. The late Em- peror had also the voice of the king of Bohemia. According to the latest intelligence they remain firm. By letters since the 8th out of Almain, and specially yesternight, Frederick the count Palatine had written that the Elector his brother should not change his opinion; that Francis had offered him in marriage the lady Rénée and a large pension. Armestorf affirms the same. The cardinal of Brandenburg will answer for the archbishop of Cologne and the marquis Joachim. The lord of Nassau is gone to reside with the Cardinal, to make sure of him; the marquis Cassimirus and the earl of Mansfeld, with the elector Joachim. Cardinal Gurcensis, the Marshal and the chancellor of Tyrol, the lord Zevenbergh, Andreas de Burgo and Felinger will be present at the diet at Frankfort, (fn. 2) with Cardinal Sedunensis and the Lord Mounteyny, to solicit and avaunce the affairs of the Catholico King. And besides the provisions of money mentioned in Spinelly's letters within these four days, the Fulkers have granted a loan of 100,000 golden florins; so that, as Chievres told him, they have after satifying all promises, 200,000 golden florins more than they need; and besides have commissioned the councils of Tyrol and Austria to put everything to pledge, in order to accomplish Charles's desire. If the count Palatine desire the restitution of the lordship of Hagno, for which the Emperor had agreed for 100,000 florins of gold, it shall be restored. The elector of Mayence has convoked the meeting for the Sunday Lætare in Lent (April 3). The archduchess Margaret, immediately on the Emperor's death, made arrangements to prevent the interception of letters. The liga del Bont has raised a band to attack the duke of Viertembergh, who has taken the town of Recling, and has demanded his contingent of the Catholico, as the successor to the Emperor, who was the head of the league. Charles has sent 600 horsemen accordingly. To secure his friends the men of Brandenburgh will muster 1,000 horsemen. The French king has sent the writings for the peace, and taken the oath secretly in his chamber, only before the chancellor of France and Robertet.
	This morning, the 20th, the Catholico made the oath interchangeably before the great lords of Spain and the Pope's nuncio. The King has written to lord Berghes "for his coming unto the King's highness" in case the earl of Horne be not departed. Francis wishes the Great Master of France to be present at the meeting. He will not be there before the end of the month. "The cardinal of Tortosa and commonly all the Spaniards be of contrary opinion, and some think for all this bruit yet it shall not succeed. The Chancellor showed me the French ambassador hath"

If this continue, his jurisdiction will be "extincted." This is contrary to the law, as learned men will affirm if they speak indifferently according to their learning. Wolsey has told him several times that he would take away no part of the jurisdiction of his church at Canterbury.

Sacheverell, who brought the priest a shoulder of venison in prison. Shortly after Alen wrote two sheets of paper, and delivered them to Rob. Rede, Rob. Hasarde and Ric. Morgan, the King's servants. Says that he never took a letter subscribed "T.M.D."—2. Rob. Crokker denies the same, but heard Alen charge the jailor with a seal of laten which he used as a papal notary. The priest asked him what "T.M.D." meant. Said he did not know; on which the priest said he would study it all night, "and in the morning remembered that my Lord Marquis' name was Thomas, and thereby found out the residue, viz., Thomas marquis Dorset." Then the priest said, "What shall come hereof within this half year?"

28 Feb. Calig. D. VII. 93. B. M.	100. SIR THOMAS BOLEYN to WOLSEY.
	Wrote last by the French post on the 22d. On Thursday night letters were received by the King from Mons. de la Basty, his ambassador in England, whereby, as he informed Boleyn next day, he perceived that his ambassador had revealed his purpose touching the empire to Henry, who told him that he declined for his part to advance any claim, though he had been solicited so to do by the cardinal of Sion when he was in England, seeing that it was only "to draw money out of his realm into Almain," and that it might put him to the expense of distant journeys for the affairs of the empire. Francis talked over the matter with Boleyn about an hour, saying he was quite aware that divers of the German princes held it the chief honor of their country that the Emperor had always been an Almain; but as the Emperor is chief of all Christian princes, he should be chosen from the greatest kings in Christendom (and he reckoned Henry and himself the two greatest), instead of from the petty German princes, who could not undertake anything for the weal of Christendom.
	"I was so familiar with him that I asked him in earnest, if he were Emperor, whether he would make a voyage against the Infidels in his proper person, as the voice went. He took me hard by the wrist with the one hand, and laid his other hand upon his breast, and sware to me on his faith, if he attain to be Emperor, that within three years after he [would] be in Constantinople, or he would die by the way;" adding that if Boleyn "lived and saw not this proved" he need never trust his word after. He would begin, he said, by an invasion of Greece, leaving his son in France, and trusting to Henry in his absence "that he would never come again into France." His realm was [worth] to him 6,000,000 yearly, and "he would spend 3,000,000 of gold but he would be E[mperor]." He desired but three voices, and "re[cked] not" who had the others, considering the friendship of Henry "the greatest weal that ever [came to] him and his realm." Boleyn perceives he is very much set upon being made Emperor. "A[nd yet though] his desire is great in it, my Lady his mother is much [more]."
	By this time the Great Master and others are gone to meet with Chievres, "which go[eth in] five days hence, as he telleth me. I am sure more than... nobles and gentlemen of this court be sent about for this." Dined at court on Saturday with the Great Master [and the] duke of Albany, when the latter received news from Scotland, which he said had come in eight days, of "one Ottyrb[urn, who] he sayeth killed La Bastye, his deputy in Scotland," and "wa[s harbored in] England by the lord Dacres of the North;" which Boleyn denied, because he knew well [that Dacres] "is a good justicer and punisheth sore misdoers, whereby he had displeased some Scotchman on the borders which had written so to him." The young king of Scots was in good health; the Queen not in very good accord with her husband. Albany is very familiar with the King here, comes to his privy chamber when he will, and "goeth much in maskyr with him."
	News has come from Rome lately of the death of the cardinal of Arragon. The duke of Urbyn has been sore sick, and is recovered. The Cardinal de Medici, the Pope's brother, is gone to Florence, and the Pope himself will go there in Lent or soon after Easter to see the duchess of Urbino, and christen her expected child.
	Sends with this a packet of letters from the Great Master to La Bastye, including one to his grace. Thinks he must send them by his own servant to Calais. The posts here demand a crown at every stage between this and Calais, which would cost nine or ten crowns when the French King does not send. Paris, the last day of February. Signed.
