	Henry has made terms with France, and returned to England to settle the matters in Scotland. Louis sends humble messages to Spain, but they are not to be trusted. * * * The Pope has given a Cardinal's hat to Gurk. The Venetians say, if they do not receive aid from France they must make terms with the Emperor. Thus the whole of Italy will be shut against France. By the advice of Gurk, the Emperor presses the Venetians and exacts from them too severe conditions, which will probably defeat his purpose. The Swiss have stripped Duke Maximilian to the skin. Nothing will satisfy their cruelty or their cupidity. * * Valladolid, ix. kal. Dec.

	The flight of the French was not more grateful to him than the three letters from Erasmus which he received in the Camp. The last, received on the eve of their triumphal return, he has not answered; but he gave the message to the abbot of St. Bertin, who evinced great joy at hearing about Erasmus. Afterwards handed the book of Plutarch to the master of the Rolls, but had only brief thanks, for he was very busy. Began as soon as he reached England to enquire where Erasmus was, who wrote that he was fleeing from the plague at Cambridge. Learnt at length from Sixtin that Erasmus had indeed left Cambridge, but, running short of wine, had returned thither—like a brave soldier of Bacchus. Sends a skin of Cretan wine. Congratulates him on having received 10 cr. from the bp. of Durham, who is not accustomed to show such liberality except to those he specially loves and esteems. Seems himself somehow to have incurred the Bishop's indignation, who is full of suspicions and "graviter fert quæ nemo censeat." P. Carmelianus has lately produced an epitaph of the King of Scots stuffed with womanish curses. It will shortly be printed by Pinson. Carmelianus is vain enough about it, but if the writer had not warned he would have made the first syllable of pullulare short. Wonders that anyone likes such stuff. London, 7 cal. Decemb. 1515.

	Is expecting his wonderful strategy and its results (magnifica illa stratagemata tum quantum in zonis sit allatum). Wrote to him in the camp divers times by John of Lorraine. Has had no less a battle with the blunders of Seneca and St. Jerome than Ammonius with the French; and though he was not in the camp, has had from the spoils ten crowns by the Bp. of Durham. Waits for Ammonius' military epistle. Camb., 6 kl. Dec.
	Begs Ammonius' good works for his affairs. Will in a few months throw out his sheet anchor; if he succeeds, will consider this as his native country, which he has preferred to Rome, and where age has overtaken him. If not, he will have to die elsewhere. Protests his own good faith; had he made such magnificent promises, would have certainly kept them. Regrets his bad fortune.

A letter of the French King, and response to these and other articles, were shown. It was unanimously agreed that the alliance be confirmed with all possible haste and that Albany come "home" to Scotland, with all munitions of war that could be gotten from the French King, and with him Sir Robert Stewart and all the Scotsmen now in France who could get licence. Provided always that the person of the young King of Scotland be kept as devised in the late King's will.

	Wrote last this morning. A post has since come from Rome and Almaine with a letter from Wingfield, which he sends. The Emperor has informed the Archduchess that the Viceroy of Naples, in answer to the Pope's brief desiring him to desist from invading the Venetians, as they would submit to the arbitration of his Holiness, replied that he could not do so without express orders from Ferdinand, or from the Emperor or the Bp. of Gurk, his Lieutenant-General in Italy. Considering the subtlety of the Venetians in times past, the Emperor has ordered the Viceroy to prosecute the enterprise with all celerity, intimating at the same time to the Pope that he was ready to submit to the arbitration of his Holiness and Aragon, if the Venetians would make truce for a year or two. The Swiss are dissatisfied with the Duke of Milan, who refuses to deliver the castle into their hands. Thinks if they persist he will be obliged to please them or to break. The Adorni of Genoa were in treaty for a band of Swiss to go to Genoa against the Fregosi; if they obtain it, it may produce a new revolution in Milan. The Duke of Bourbon and John Jacques de Trowis have sent into Dauphiné to prepare quarters for their army, which is reported to number 1,800 spears, and 15,000 foot. Cannot understand the superiority of these Frenchmen; they are not wiser, braver, or richer than others, only more diligent and resolute;—summer and winter are alike to them. If they set forward it must be with consent of the Swiss. My Lady had news last night from Hainault, that 800 Almaines who had served Henry were returning from the French for lack of entertainment.

	The King was right in thinking that his intimation of the surrender of Tournay, 12 Oct., was the more pleasant for the news of victory over the King of Scots about the same time.

	May all the Muses and Graces, and letters in general, be as unpropitious to me as they are to Carmilianus, if any thing has given me this year greater pleasure than your letter! That's an oath more binding than Styx. Has received but one letter; the former have not come to hand. Is grateful Ammonius has not forgotten him in such a tumult of business. Is as thankful as if he had received the wine; but wonders, after his experience, he should trust such scoundrels. The carrier who brought the letters says no wine was given him. Durham has answered, "sed ουδεν προς επος" When Erasmus pressed him he avoided the subject, and said, "He thought it was with Winchester, but did not know for certain." He is not friendly to Baptista: all this is strictly secret. The plague will prevent him being in London before Christmas, and partly the robbers, of whom there is a great swarm at this season in England. Had written by Brian the day before Ammonius' letter arrived. When he saw the word pullulare in the epitaph by Carmilianus, he exclaimed, "Hic scabies!" Hearing who was the author, "It's like him," replied Erasmus. Some thought he meant it was like the King of Scots; others who had more sense of humour smiled. Thinks Ammonius had too much regard for the reputation of the beast (Carmilianus). Wonders he says nothing of Baptista. Bovill's arrival is talked of. John ("Johannes tuus") has been very diligent with the letter of Erasmus. Has for some months lived like a cockle shut up in his shell, humming over his books. Cambridge is deserted for fear of the plague; and when all the men are there, there is not much company. The expense is intolerable; the profits not a brass farthing. Has not been here five months, and it has cost him sixty nobles; has never been paid more than one by his audience. Will throw out his sheet anchor this winter. If it succeeds, will make his nest; if not, will flit. Camb., 4 kl. Dec. 1511.

As it is to be presumed the King gave some signs of repentance in his extremities, the Pope allows him to be buried with funeral honors, trusting the oversight thereof to Richard bp. of London, or some prelate chosen by the King.

	Begs him to persevere in his wish to come to some good appointment with the Venetians, whereby he will be able next summer to finish his great affairs and afterwards can always reduce them to reason. He does well to gain the Swiss; for the side on which they are will always be strongest. In pursuance of his letters and instruction, has sent Artois herald into Scotland and hopes that his going will do much to pacify that realm. With regard to his third letters about the order kept with her nephew, referring her to former letters;—as to the sending into Spain the Emperor will, after hearing the ambassadors of Spain and England, be able to send instructions; for what was contained in the instructions made before his departure is, as it were, accomplished by the treaty of which the ambassadors will inform him.
	* * *
	Because the gens d'armes are dissatisfied with the order taken, some, especially the Almains and Swiss, who are mostly dismissed, complain that she has made her profit of the money of the King of England, of which she has not had a sous. The money is in the hands of the captain of Tournay who means to pay the gens d'armes monthly; and it will be well if the 200,000 cr. suffice. Is now ordering the finances and assigning the expense and estat of her nephew and nieces; and, that done, will assign the Emperor his 50,000 fl. Hoped that he would have been here and is sorry to see him go further and further away; for his coming hither was very necessary.

	Those of this town have made a joyous entry to Monsieur and are determined to show themselves always loyal subjects of the Emperor and him. He should send them letters of thanks. Has already written of her joy at his great victory, news of which was confirmed to her by the Viceroy's gentleman, who has gone to the King of England. Has as he ordered written everywhere to make processions of feux de jôye; and will give the gentleman a present at his return. The articles and letters he sent touching the holy great league being treated at Rome, with the additions thereupon, seem both to her and his Privy Council greatly to his honour and profit. He should conclude the league as soon as possible. Nevertheless, not to impede his great enterprises of next summer, notwithstanding the victory, he should appoint with the Venetians by advice of the Pope, King of Aragon or Viceroy. The war against the Turks and Infidels mentioned in the articles might be concluded now, to be executed when the Christian princes have peace. Means must be found to prevent the Swiss serving the French next year. Will, with the Council's advice, send him an instruction of the affairs of this country, for Rome. The King of England intends that your obedience and his should be made alike and therefore it were well to advertise both him and me of your advice upon this. Has given another private charge to Loys Maroton who has departed to the Emperor.

Sp. Trans., I., 5, f. 321. R.O.	2475. FERDINAND KING OF ARAGON to UREA.
	After writing the other letter which goes herewith, received his letters and those of the other ambassadors who are staying with him, of 4 Oct. As the Emperor seems swayed by reports of their common enemies Ferdinand gives arguments to show what his Viceroy has done in Italy for the Emperor and that he made the truce when deserted by England—and the Emperor would do the like of England left him with the States of Prince Charles open to invasion from France, instead of leaving an army there paid for the winter. Ferdinand's own desire is to conclude a general peace of Christendom and make war with the Infidels, and to that France is the only obstacle. The common interest of himself, the Queen of Castile, the Emperor and Prince Charles is to weaken France. To this end the friendship of the Pope, King of England (with whom the Emperor must reconcile himself if he has any dispute) and the Swiss is necessary. Hears from Italy and elsewhere that the King of England has returned home with the intention of conquering Scotland and abandoning the enterprise of France, his Council wishing for peace and money from France. Certain it is that the Emperor and King separated on bad terms, that the English complain of the expense of the French war, and that the King has not concluded the treaty carried by Pedro de Lanuza. If the Emperor wishes the Duchy of Milan for himself or any of their common children the intention must be kept secret in order not to raise the opposition of Italians and Swiss. Shows how, to secure this, the Emperor and Ferdinand must make a peace with France (before her fear of England is removed) binding the King of France to renounce his rights in Naples and Milan in favour of a marriage of his daughter with the Infanta Ferdinand. The King of England must be included in the peace. As secrecy is necessary the Emperor might send a confidential person, such as Gabriel Orti, to the King of France on pretext of the ransom of Pedro Navaro. Written instructions unnecessary. If however, England intends to renew the war next spring and is ready to conclude the alliance with Ferdinand and the Emperor, the latter must decide which of the two arrangements (with France or England) is preferable. Could not undertake the conquest of Guienne unless England paid for 6,000 German troops, but he would invade France with his Italian army.
	If the Venetians, after their defeat (fn. 3) by the Spaniards, were to offer the Emperor terms they should be reconciled and an Italian league formed against France, by one article of which Duke Maximilian should be bound to accept a wife from the Emperor. Investiture need not be granted at once to Duke Maximilian, whose suspicions may be allayed by negociations for his marriage with one of their common granddaughters, which, when the peace with France has been made, may be broken off and the marriage of the Infante Ferdinand with the daughter of France concluded. Other possibilities in Italy. Thinks such a peace preferable to war as it involves the acquisition of Milan and probably of Brittany (as the eldest daughter of the King of France is never likely to bear children), and the possibility of making war with the Infidels.
	Urea has informed him that the Emperor wishes for a partition of their states between their children (Charles and Ferdinand), which were better postponed until the affair of France and Venice is settled.
