November 1550

Nov. 5. Lettere Secrete, Capi Consiglio X., File no. 4. 687. The Chiefs of the Ten to [Daniel Barbaro] the Venetian Ambassador in England.
It has come to their knowledge through several channels, that an English gentleman in Venice, by name Robert Stafford, has behaved in an unbecoming and discourteous manner to the reverend ambassador [Peter Vannes] of his English Majesty, and in his Lordship's own habitation, regardless of the post filled by him of ambassador from that most Serene King, although neither by him [Vannes] nor by any of his attendants has he been either offended or provoked in anything.
Heard this with much displeasure, and sent for the gentleman, and reproved him as his temerity deserved, admonishing him to abstain [from such conduct] for the future, lest they have cause to proceed further against him, as they would have done at present, had not the ambassador interposed, requesting them to do nothing more.
To acquaint the Lords of the Council with this. (fn. 1)
