Fell in with Brode the pirate, and drove his ship ashore. He was subsequently taken by the mayor of Drogheda. Proclaimed FitzGerald a traitor at Drogheda High Cross. Would have had him denounced accursed, but the Chancellor could not do it until the dean of St. Pulcars and the prior of Christchurch, who are vicars general sede vacante, had declared the sentence first. Summoned the gentlemen of Uriell and Meath to come in, and very few have refused. Has had also good answers from divers captains in the North. The said rebel is shifting from place to place.

Will endeavor to prove themselves worthy of his liberality, &c., and beg that he will determine their disputes with their neighbours, and restore their old privileges. Oxford, pridie idus Novembris.

As the manor of Westminister is situate in the middle of two parishes, St. Margaret, where the abbot has jurisdiction ordinary, and St. Martin's in the Fields, “where ye be persons and proprietaries,” the King's household is endangered by infection from corpses being brought to burial at St. Margaret's. Desires the abbot to arrange with the vicar of St. Martin's that all parishioners of St. Margaret's dwelling within the limits of St. Martin's in the Fields, and north and east of the manor of Westminster, may be dismembered from the parish of St. Margaret's and taken as parishioners of St. Martin's, there to pay their tithes, receive sacraments and burial.

Granvelle Papers, II.200.	“Instruction à vous, nostre amé et féal conseiller, messire Cornelio Scepero, de ce que vous aurez à faire en vostre voyage, tant en France, Flandres que Allemaigne, ou que présentement vous dépeschons.”
	He is first to go to France and inform the viscount de Lombeke that he is charged to declare to the count of Nassau the answer which the Emperor sends to the said ambassador, explaining privately why the Emperor does not agree with his suggestions, and how he has determined to take up again the practice of the marriage of England, seeing that it was not disliked by the Grand Master, in order to discover whether Francis would agree to it and give up his pretensions to Milan.
	* * * * * You shall say also that we have had no news of Mr. Goscarke Etricq, whom we despatched from Toledo to go to Toledo (clerical error for Scotland ?) since his departure from Ireland, and that we fear he has met with some hindrance on the journey ; also that having determined to marry our niece of Denmark with the count palatine Frederic, we see no marriage more suitable for the king of Scotland than that of our cousin the princess of England, in case the match with Angoulême should fall through ; and we think that if James will send to Mons. de Beures, he may make the overture in accordance with the instruction of the said Goscarke, for we do not wish the king of Scotland to suppose that we are entertaining him with mere words. You shall say also that we shall presently send into Ireland to encourage the Irish to rebel against England and to maintain the cause of our aunt and the Princess. * * * * * Madrid, 12 Nov. 1534.

13 Nov.	1426. T. Lord Darcy to Cromwell.
R. O.	Thanks him for obtaining the King's pardons that he may take his ease in his age and debilities, and especially for his comfortable words at the Rolls, and for soliciting the King for his bill of restitution. Begs him to continue. My lord Chief Baron can bear witness how he heard at Baynescastell “the whole counsel and executors of the King of famous memory,” and the judges approve his claim. Pleads his services to both kings in England, France and Scotland. Desires credence for Sir Arthur Darcy. Templehirst, 13 Nov. Singed.
R. O.	P. 1. Add.: Mr. Cromwell, secretary to the King's grace. Endd.
14 Nov.	1427. George Lord Rocheford to [Henry VIII.]
Vesp. F. XIII. 108 b. B. M.	The admiral of France has remained here since Thursday night. His whole train is not yet disembarked. Will convey him to Sittingbourn on Monday, there to stay the night, and to Rochester on Tuesday, on Wednesday to Dartford, and on Thursday by 12 noon to Blackheath, where Norfolk is appointed to meet him. Canterbury. Saturday, 14 Nov. Signed.
Vesp. F. XIII. 108 b. B. M.	P. 1.
14 Nov.	1428. William Symons to Cromwell.
R. O.	I have done my best for such provision as belongs to the ambassador, who I trust will find himself and his train well provided for till they come to London. I perceive by your letter to John Antony that this has been done partly through his help. Nothing has been done by him of the kind at Dover, Sittingborne or such other places as I have had in commandment, to the value of an apple. I wish to know whether the provision at Bridewell shall be at the King's charges or the ambassador's, and what I am to do. Canterbury, 14 Nov.
R. O.	Hol., p. 1. Add.: Secretary.
14 Nov.	1429. Count of Cifuentes to Los Cobos.
Add. MS 28,587, f. 139. B. M.	Wrote to the Emperor on the 7th inst. by Tello de Guzman. Since then the French cardinals have been urging the Pope for three things,—the confirmation of certain privileges and favours granted to the French king ; the promotion of the bishops of Paris, Faenza and another to the Cardinalate ; and for a negotiation with the French king “para sus desegnos.” To the first he replied that he would confirm the privileges for his life and not longer ; to the second that there were reasons against making the bishop of Paris cardinal, but he would grant it to the others at proper time ; to the third, that he would not negotiate with any one.
	They say that the bishop of Paris will come (el de Paris dizen que cierto verna) with some invention in the English matter or other affair, in order to ask for the hat which Clement had promised him, not with the intention of giving it but to induce him to free the Pope from blame in France for having given the sentence in the English ease (sino por contentarle para que le desculpase en Francia de la sentencia que dio en la causa de Inglaterra).
	It is said the Pope will make two of his relatives, and three other learned persons, cardinals. Will do what he can to prevent it. Suggests the archbishop of Capua as a cardinal likely to serve the Emperor. Rome, 14 Nov. 1534.
	Spanish. Modern copy, pp. 3.
15 Nov.	1430. G. Earl of Huntingdon to Cromwell.
R. O.	As the obligations between me and Sir Hugh Vaughan expire on St. Andrew's day next, and as part of my evidences, as John Beaumonte, the bearer, will show you, have been left by him in a place where he does not dare go to fetch them, as one of his fellows died of the plague this term, I will be content to abide whatever day you and my lord Chancellor order. Beaumonte may seal a new obligation for me. You have written several letters for discharge of a tenant of mine named Alen, in Kylmersheden, on the slanderous surmise of one James of the same town against the honesty of my surveyors, of whom this bearer is one and can inform you of the matter. I beg your favor for Alen. Ashby-de-la-Zouche, 15 Nov. Signed.
R. O.	P. 1. Add.: Master Secretary. Endd.
