	* * * "[card]inal and chancellor at his ..... And after the sight of your said letters ..... secretary to the King to have his letters ..... Vendosme in the speedy despatch of your Gra[ce] ..... commanding me to attend and go with his ..... [to] the court for the pursuit of the same; at w[hich time] Mons. Vendosme was not come. The King's [promise] was I should give attendance till the coming [of] Mons. de Vendosme, and that then his Grace sh[ould give] him such a commandment and speak so unto him a[t his] coming that notwithstanding his Grace's special ..... and defence made of late your Grace's letters should take effect." Has given attendance on the Chancellor every day since then. "This present f[irst] day of November" was called before De Holle "cou[ncillor ?], at this town of Paris, in the King's lodging, which was in Mons. the Villeroy's house," and was told by the Chancellor, in presence of Vendosme, the seneschal of Normandy, and others, that notwithstanding the scarcity in Picardy and elsewhere in France, "which * * * and request of restraint and deffe[nce] ..... parts, yet, nevertheless, the King his master p[romised] for the great love, favor, and amity towards your [Grace] that ye should not only have now the provision of ..... muytz according to your letters, but also have at your pleasure more out of his realm, 600 or 700 mewy[ts] freely, without paying custom or toll." He hopes Wolsey will be content, "considering the great necessity and clamor of the i[nhabitants] and governors," that the restraint remain valid against all others having [no] licence. "And as [to] the attache of 200 muytts I have taken the sa[me of] Mons. de Vendosme, the which I shall make d..... of lading with all diligence."
	Wolsey should write to the Council if he will accept the grant in this form, and to have 300 in Picardy, 200 in Normandy and 300 in Britanny. If so, he will provide for his whole [household] and the ..... made to Anthony Vyvolld and others, while the poor men will thank him for so relieving them from the covetousness of strangers. The clamor for the restraint arose from some of Vyvolde's men sent by the city of London, "a[s] the Chamberlain's son, John Garyway and Blak of Lo[ndon]," who have so bruited that the measure of St. Walery's is raised from 30 to 50 sols Tournois, and the people expect it to rise to 60.
	At all his meetings with the Council the Cardinal and De Vendosme have expressed the greatest anxiety to satisfy Wolsey. Is informed that it will be impossible to get more wheat out of France except by means of Wolsey, the country is so sore against it. Will delay making further suit till he hear from Wolsey.

	According to his last letters has been with the French king, who, on being informed of the coming of the ambassadors with the order, was not a little joyful, and said that he never received anything with better goodwill; that for the most part he would not fail but wear it, and that he was assured the Burgundians were as displeased therewith as any people could be; that it would discourage all his enemies to maintain war against him, and that the whole realm of France were for ever bound to Henry. He could not express all his gratitude, nor can the writer do justice to the manner in which he spoke. Paris, All Souls' day. Signed.

	Has received two packets of letters: one from Master Almoner and Master Poyntz in Spain, sent to Brian Tuke, in which he is informed are contained letters to the King and Wolsey; the other from count Carpi to Wolsey. Has not yet heard of the coming of the King's ambassadors, nor whether they have arrived on this side the sea. My Lady, the King's mother, expected they would have been here before this, and two of the French king's order have gone to meet them. The one is Monsieur le Drues, the other the Grand Esquire.

3 Nov. R. O.	3550. ITALY.
	News related by one who left the castle of St. Angelo on the 3rd November.
	The Pope had made an agreement with the Imperialists, and they had sent to Don Hugo for a ratification, which was expected in six days. The Pope is to give the lanceknights 35,000 ducats for one payment, and the same sum after they leave the city. He is to give the Spaniards 40,000 ducats, which are to be raised in Rome, and 240,000 ducats a month for four months; 50,000 ducats to the lanceknights for three months. The benefices of the kingdom of Naples are to be sold for 600,000 ducats, which sum is to be divided between the Pope and the Emperor; out of the Emperor's half the Pope is to be reimbursed the 40,000 ducats a month which he pays the Spaniards. The Imperialists wished to have carried off the cardinals Campeggio, Triulzi, and Pisa because they would not agree to this treaty. The Pope is not to favor the confederates, or to interfere in the affairs of Milan. They demanded a tenth with a crusade in Spain, and the creation of four cardinals, who offered 100,000 ducats, but the Pope refused. Certain forces were to leave the city that day on the way to Viterbo, to fight our army. The Pope had made a secret protest that all he had done was under compulsion, in order to obtain his liberty.

3 Nov. Cott. App. XXIX. 2. B. M.	3552. DUKE OF RICHMOND'S COUNCIL to WOLSEY.
	Their last letters informed him of the affairs in the North; how Sir Wm. Lisle, his son Humfrey, Shafto, and their adherents, are assisted in Scotland, to the great damage of Northumberland; that, by advice of justice Fitzherbert and Mr. Lister, Sir Wm. Lisle and others are indicted of treason, and proclaimed traitors on the Marches; that the country has been forbidden to assist them, and has been ordered to be ready, according to the statute of Winchester, to rise and repress them. Notwithstanding this, the outlaws, who number nearly 100, and include some of the Fenwikes, Ogilles, and Shaftoos, continually rob and spoil in Northumberland, and have lately come to Hexham and taken 24 prisoners, the king's tenants. Have ordered Sir Wm. Eure to leave Harbottell and lie at Felton, a lordship of Lisle's, whither he often repairs, and have promised him 4d. above their wages for 30 of his servants and 30 soldiers from Berwick, but he refuses to do so without orders from the King or Wolsey. He is vice-warden and lieutenant of the Middle Marches, sheriff of Northumberland, and keeper of Tynedale and Riddisdale, but he does not consider himself able to put good rule in the country; none of the gentlemen will do anything for him, for he does not trust them, and they bear no favor to him. The duke of Richmond has written often to the king of Scots and to the earl of Angus for the apprehension of Lisle, according to the treaty. Have always had pleasant answers, but nothing has been done. They are assisted in Scotland, and the Scotch daily ride with them to do harm in England. Do not see what can be done, except by the power of some nobleman lying continually in Northumberland, if the Scots would cease their help. Are in perplexity, and wish to know what to do.
	There is great dearth of grain, and many poor people are likely to starve. Wheat is 24s. a quarter, and more likely to rise than fall. Nicholas Rudd, of Apulby, who was ordered by Wolsey to abide by their decision in his matter with Baynebrigg, has not appeared, and three attachments have been sent out, but to no effect. Believe he has gone to London. Ask Wolsey, if Rudd comes before him, to order him so that it shall not seem that the duke of Richmond's commands are disobeyed in Westmoreland. Pontefract, 3 Nov.

	Went to Parma, as he heard that the Pope was delivered. Found Gambara there, who informed him that the general of the Observants had written to the Pope, holding out expectations of delivery. Gambara had sent to Rome for a safe-conduct, purposing to take me with him. He advised my going to Orvieti. Has arrived at Fulignio, but the Prothonotary has not yet arrived. No man can enter Rome without a safe-conduct, still less speak with the Pope in private in St. Angelo. Cannot, therefore, speak to him of your secret; but when the Pope is free, he will, doubtless, do all that he may; and it is not probable that he will be kept long in restraint. Has written to Wolsey. Fulignio, 4 Nov.

Has been obliged to get horses and carriage for his stuff which he brought to Boulogne. Lord Lisle lent him one horse, and Master Carew a mule, else he must have ridden in post in ill order.

	There has arrived in this haven a pinnace of Deva in the province of Guipuscoa, John de Racabara, master, which has taken two French herring boats before Dieppe, by virtue of a letter of marque. Have seen the copy of a letter of marque, seemingly authentic, written in Spanish, and signed by a notary; also a certificate by the mayor of Southampton, under the town seal, that he had seen it. Have detained the pinnace here till the King's pleasure be known. The master is going to see the Emperor's ambassador in England, with his letter of marque. Calais, 6 Nov. 1527. Signed.

	This morning received letters from Sir Robt. Jerningham, directed to the King and Wolsey, which he encloses.
	The same day the bishop of Seintes told him that news had come that the Pope is now at large in Rome, and has given the Spaniards 50,000 cr., besides two or three strong towns. Will be at the Court tomorrow to know the truth, if the King does not go hunting. Received also today a letter from lord Lysle and Sir Nic. Carew, dated Amyens, 4th inst., saying that they "demur there" till they hear from Wolsey. Francis is inclined to make them good cheer. Paris, 6 Nov.

	Will follow the resolution which you have communicated, taken by the king of England touching the ceremony on his acceptance of the Order of France, and that which Francis himself should follow on taking that of the Garter. The English ambassadors shall be received as the merits of his perpetual ally demand, and so that they will return well satisfied. Has heard from Villandry all that has been done about Spain, and is doubly bound to the King and Wolsey. Knowing that they wish those matters to be executed without delay, which were concluded in your presence, I send this courier, in great haste, with letters just received from my ambassadors in Spain, that you may communicate their contents to the King and Wolsey before your departure, requesting them to write to the English ambassadors to adhere strictly to their instructions, without listening to overtures or proposals on the part of the Emperor; and if the sieur De Soyms was named in the powers sent by the Legate, and matters cannot be expedited without him, to write to him to return, and settle the matter with the others; for I am informed they are trying every means to delay the execution of those matters by new proposals; so you must get letters, addressed to the bishop of Worcester and the other English ambassador, to that effect. Is so much pleased with what has been done in England, that he intends sending a gentleman thither to express his gratitude. Paris, 7 Nov.

	Nothing is yet concluded with the Duke, who says that he is willing to join the League;—but at the greatest advantage and least possible expence to himself, for he only offers 1,500 foot, 50 lances, and 100 light horse. So, as he is not much to be depended upon, Lautrec has been warned to mind what he is about. The Duke's demands are very great. He asks that a Duchess, a niece of the Pope's, who has a great estate in France, be given to his son in marriage. He acknowledges that he has received great offers, and wishes now to make use of an occasion in which his help may be needed, and he thinks it is enough for the League if he desert the Emperor. Has sent to suggest to Lautrec how he may destroy the Duke. Believes God will punish the man. News from Buda. No battle as yet between Ferdinand and the Waywode. Andrea Doria had arrived at Leghorn with the Venetian galleys. He had come for 1,500 foot that were there. Renzi had arrived at Genoa. There is a rumor that the Imperialists had withdrawn into the towns about Rome, and had told the Pope he might return into his palace, but this is not believed.

9 Nov. Vit. B. IX. 168. B. M.	3562. GIBERTO BP. OF VERONA to WOLSEY.
	Although the Pope is very grateful to Wolsey for his services, it is necessary for him to be somewhat particular about what he grants Wolsey, as people are apt to claim for themselves such privileges as are granted to persons of extraordinary deserts. This is the cause that the bulls for the College have not been already expedited according to the desire of the bishop of Worcester, Gregory Casale, and himself. The Pope said he thought that the bulls would satisfy Wolsey, as they were. But on receiving Wolsey's letters of Sept. 30 and Oct. 18, saying that it was necessary that the clause "de fundatorum consensu" should be removed, and also letters on the same subject from the bishop of Worcester and Casale, went again to the Pope, and obtained a promise that they should be re-copied, with the omission of the objectionable clause. The King's late gift of 25,000 ducats made him more inclined to grant this. His Holiness knows the King and Wolsey will consider the dignity of the See Apostolic, which has been outraged by an unheard-of crime, and that they will assist in punishing the perpetrators, who, so far from expressing penitence, threaten worse things, and say that they acted by the Emperor's orders. Are daily expecting the Spanish fleet. Ten thousand Germans, leaving the Turks behind them, are coming into Italy. Rome, 9 Nov. 1526. Signed.

Carew, chief esquire of the king of England, Ant. Browne, knight, and Thos. Wriothesley, Garter King-at-arms, ambassadors from the king of England, this Sunday, 10 Nov., the Order of St. George, called the Garter, with the garter, mantle, habit, collar, and other vestments belonging thereto; that he has sworn the oath prescribed by the statutes, as modified according to agreement between the two Kings,—that is, to wear the image of St. George, the collar and garter, once a year. If on St. George's day he happens to be in a place where he cannot hear matins, or if he has no leisure to do so, he may cause them to be said in his presence by a priest. If he has any important business on that day he need only wear the habit of the Order during divine service, and then take it off without waiting till after dinner and supper, but in that case he promises to wear it on another solemn day in the year.

11 Nov. Le Grand, III. 17.	3567. FRANCIS I. to his AMBASSADORS in ENGLAND.
	Has received their letters of the 25th ult. notifying the departure of lord Lisle, the Grand Esquire and the Master of the Rolls, to convey to him the Order of the king of England, and receive that of Francis. Has come to Paris in order to receive them as honorably as possible (le plus privéement et honorablement qu'il me sera possible), and has deferred his intention to go and hunt in Brie, and see the building he has begun there. Has given orders for their escort from Boulogne, where he has just heard that they will be on Wednesday night, to Paris, where they may arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday following. Is hourly expecting the return of Villandry, whose despatch, he trusts, owing to Wolsey, will be for the good of Christendom and the deliverance of his children; so that upon it, with the Cardinal's advice, we may make our common despatch into Spain, and await a final resolution, preparing meanwhile to obtain by force, if necessary, what we have not been able to obtain by reason.
	Sends news which has come this evening by Castillon, whom Francis had despatched towards Lautrec;—to be communicated to Wolsey for the King, who, he has no doubt, will rejoice at his success in Italy. Has provided everything that Lautrec requires, and trusts he will soon achieve the Pope's liberation. Paris, 11 Nov.

11 Nov. R. O.	3569. The COUNCIL OF CALAIS to WOLSEY.
	The Deputy has written both to my lord Chamberlain and to Mr. Treasurer of Calais to show the King the great necessity the town stands in for lack of wheat, malt, and oats, caused by the great consumption when Wolsey was in these parts, and by a number of French fishers who have been continually coming and going since before Michaelmas. The victuallers at Calais are stopped at the ports of England, and not allowed to depart with their corn and victuals. Although Wingfield has written to the officers of divers ports, his writing has had no effect, except at Sandwich, from which they have got some malt. My lord Chamberlain's officers at Guisnes will not allow any rent corn to be brought to Calais till the land-owners there have paid a year's rent due last Michaelmas. Much of the rent corn of Guisnes belongs to inhabitants of Calais. No corn can be got from France or Flanders except by special licence; and the King's coins and French crowns in our hands go so high that nothing can be bought except with great loss. Has discussed the matter with the other two jurisdictions, viz., the mayor and his brethren and the constable of the Staple; and they think to avoid the great peril, the best way is to open the county of Guisnes in such form as it hath been accustomed, and to petition the King and Wolsey to open the ports of England. Malt can only be had from England. Calais, 11 Nov. 1527. Signed: Wyngffeld, R. Sir—Hary Planknay, mayor—Crystofer Garneys—Sir W. Husey—Wylliam Denham, conysteble.

Will follow Wolsey's advice entirely, as it is by Wolsey that the whole business ought to be conducted. Paris, 12 Nov. Signed.

	Signor Gregoire arrived yesterday from the duke of Ferrara, and is again returned. He bade him assure Wolsey that within three or four days at the most we shall recover the said duke of Ferrara, notwithstanding "the importance of his former demands," of which Jerningham sent a copy in his last. This done, Lautrec intends immediately to set out for Rome. He presses Jerningham daily to write for money. Begs to know Wolsey's mind on the subject. Parma, 12 Nov.

13 Nov. R. O.	3573. ITALY.
	"Nova ex Roma, die xiij. Novembris ex Castro data."
	There seems to be great difficulty about the agreement between the Pope and the Imperialists, partly on account of tumults among the Germans and Spaniards, partly for want of ready money. When the Spanish troops were leaving Rome to go to the defence of Brasciano, towards Naples, a tumult arose, which John of Urbino, Alarcon, and the marquis Guasto endeavored to appease; but their efforts were ineffectual, and they themselves barely escaped with safety to the citadel. The Spaniards returned, crying out for pay, and threatening to kill the Marquis, but about 500 went into Naples, and laid waste a town of Ascanio Colonna. The infantry cannot remain here long for lack of provisions, especially if the light horse return. Lautrec should come at once, and take them unprepared. A captain has just come from Germany, urging the Germans to leave Rome and come to Lombardy. The Imperialists have determined to send the infantry to Picenum, which is not far from the Neapolitan frontier.

	"My lord Lysley and College can plainlier declare unto your Grace than I" the costly cheer and entertainment at the court. Thanks to God and St. George, all the ceremonies "were done with d[ue] solemnities and honourable expedition of both parties, a[ll] thing as like as could be devised as they were receiv[ed] and had at Greenwich." The King, under a cloth of estate, had on one side three cardinals, ambassadors, bishops, and lords without number. "With great pain I was brought into the chamber by a bish[op], long before the King's coming, and made mine oration with great pain; but I had rather have lost my leg than to have been absent that day. The bishop of Burges in Berri answered me." The garter, the robe, and the collar became the King well; and as he took his horse, Madame "looked out at a window to see the King and my lord Lysley in his abbett. The sight pleased her so well quod commovit ei lachrymas." She is very thankful to Wolsey, and said that "now that she s[aw] both the Kings under one clothing she trusteth th[at] they shall continue in one mind and heart." In the delivery of the garter, my lord Lysley and Mr. Carew have demeaned themselves according to their duty, and entreated me lovingly in this voyage. Have not received the letters mentioned in his instructions. Paris, 13 Nov. Signed.

The learned men would give better attendance if they lodged within her court. The Secretary can show him that his directions about the custody of the signet, &c. are executed. Encloses a letter from a young scholar in praise of Wolsey's college.
