785. [1701.] SIR ROBERT WINGFIELD to HENRY VIII.
The Cardinal of Pavia, soon after [going to] Ravenna, was slain, "in the place, by the hands [of the Duke] of Urbyne." All the cities and towns of Romyandola "have [refused] to receive any part of the Pope's army, or the Venetians. [It] is thought all the said army to stand in great d[anger]." The Cardinal of St. Cross had written to Innspruck, that the cardinals that were with the Pope had changed their [minds, and] condescended to the order which is taken for the G[eneral Council], and that the K. of Aragon is also content with the same; but, because of the sickness of the said Cardinal, Wingfield had the less belief to h * * * [The Emperor] had informed his Council this day by writing ... came straight hither. Thinks he will soon go to Italy, where Wingfield hopes he will govern the enterprise for the advantage of himself and of his friends, or he will incur great shame and peril. Desires a recapitulation may be made to him of all the letters received by the King from him since his last departure, as he had received knowledge of many, but not of all, from Thomas Spinelly. Sends the following dates of all letters written by him to the King. Malines. 4 and 7 Feb.; March 3, 9 (fn. 1), 11, 16, 22, 28; April 4, 13, 25; May 3, 12, 19, 24, 27, 30.

793. ABBATIS to ROBERTET.
Thanks for note enclosed in the letter of the Ambassador Darizoles. Is very glad of the King's victory and that things go well; for he has always thought that, to prevent the Pope raising new troubles, it was necessary to take Bologna. Because the ambassadors of Aragon hehaved well when Mons. di Gursa was at Bologna, and their King revoked Fabritio Colonna with his 300 lances, the King may think that Aragon proceeds directly with him. That is assuredly not so. It is true that Aragon desired peace and the ambassadors did all they could and the 300 lances were recalled; but that was because Fabritio was writing of the disorder in the Pope's camp and because, owing to their presence, the Pope was inclined to make the accord. The accord was what of all things he would wish to disturb, because, he fears the passing of the Emperor and the King will be followed by the ruin of the Venetians. His fear is that the King may put it in the Emperor's head to go to Rome to be crowned, and, sending men to accompany the Emperor, may use them to seize the kingdom of Naples and afterwards, perhaps, raise trouble in Castile; and therefore he has dismissed the enterprise of Africa and sent a good part of the armada and of his own men to Naples. The ambassador of Aragon had begun to move the Pope that, since his Holiness did not wish peace, it would be well to make a league with him and the King of England; and upon the rout which followed they were the more drawn together to the said league. About six days ago I had a letter from the Pope, sent in the greatest haste, through the ambassador of Aragon, by which he writes to me to make all possible diligence to dispose the King to enter this league, to which the King of Aragon is much inclined and will write hither to the King and to his own ambassador that it may be concluded. The said ambassador, more than fifteen days ago, began to move the matter to this King and Council, and the King answered that he was willing to enter a league for preservation of the Church, Aragon and himself; but hitherto there is no commission to conclude, as the King of Aragon was waiting for a definite answer from the Pope. That answer (although I cannot yet learn what it is) the Pope sent on the same day that he wrote to me, viz., from Rimini, 25 May; and therefore the King of Aragon's commission to conclude ought to be here in six or eight days.
Thus you may see that the King of Aragon does not proceed so directly as the King perhaps thinks. His ambassador continually animates this King and Council against you by saying that the King of France wishes to make himself lord of all and gives good words to everyone meanwhile; and he urges me to do the like on the Pope's behalf. The above is true as the Gospel of St. John.
Now although this league can do little harm so long as the Emperor stands firm, it is safer that it should not be made; and notwithstanding the influence which Aragon has over this King, Darizoles and I will either break it or keep it long enough in suspense. When the commission comes from Aragon, Darizoles, showing that he has got word of it, will speak with the King's friends in this Council to beware of putting their King in such a dance, because Aragon, to serve his own ends, will not hesitate both to put their King in trouble and leave him there; and therefore they should not begin a thing of which they may afterwards repent, for the safety of England lies in peace with France, England is never so well as after peace has been made with France, and the like. I also will do good work by telling the King and Council that, notwithstanding my desire that the Pope may be aided, I would not, for the affection I bear them, counsel what might end in their ruin. Besides, I have as yet no authority from the Pope to conclude or sign such a thing and these English are people who will want it done with all ceremony, and when it comes to the conclusion will wish to see the authority. I will take care that six months are spent in procuring the writing from the Pope, and let you know when it is coming so that you may stop the couriers and thus pass other six months. Gradually, by showing confidence in them, I shall put the Pope out of favour with some of this Council, as a man not to be trusted and who changes purpose every day. Meanwhile, let the King remove the thorn (stimolo) of the Venetians and exterminate them (? extervarli, qu. exterminarli ?), so that they can do no more hurt; for this appears the thing most important at present. Afterwards the King may take counsel according as things go, because I shall keep you advised of all that passes in Rome; Spain and here. Darizoles should remain here until we see the end of this practice of the Pope and King of Aragon.
The good letter which his Majesty wrote the King for this last child, was very apropos as showing esteem and love. Madame Margaret, or rather Duchess of Savoy, does all she can by letters and embassies to turn the Emperor from the amity of the King (of France). I see letters to this effect daily, and if from Franders they write to the King otherwise they write what is untrue. I believe however that the letters and embassies will little avail. This King sends 1,500 men to aid the Prince of Castile against the Duke of Gueldres. Their captain is Sir Edward Ponyng, a man of some account in this realm. The Council have advised it on the ground that the King should make some show of helping his cousin, lest, in disdain, he should take for wife the daughter of your King and leave the sister of this. I humbly beg the King to remember me when any suitable benefice falls in his hand, and your lordship to remember your saying that I should serve a prince who was a true prince and think only of serving frankly and leave the rest to him, who would recompense all my past loss. Darizoles can bear witness to my services, and my only fear is to be forgotten amid affairs of more importance. I beg you to recommend me to the Chancellor and pray him too to be intercessor for me. Anything that I could not at present personally accept may be given to some prelate on condition of resigning it to me when the time comes. I beg you, when you have learnt the substance of my letters, to put them in the fire. London, 14 June 1511.

795. [LORD DARCY] to [FERDINAND OF ARAGON].
Received his two letters, about the intended expedition against the Infidels, by the Bp. of Palencia, who also spoke of the King's intentions and would have sent him and his company home. The writer has given him a bill to present to the King on behalf of himself and his company. Is in full readiness to serve the King with his whole company and a hundred more men, as faithfully as he would his own sovereign lord, if he were present, according to the indentures and covenants made before his coming, of which he has given a copy to the Bp. "Written at your city of Calles" [Cadiz], 14 June.

2. The petition of Thomas Darse, knight and count, captain of the army of the King of England, to the Bishop of Palencia, to be shown to the King of Aragon—upon the answer given by the said King to the letter sent him from the port of Cadiz to learn his pleasure, which answer was that Darse and his company were shortly to be despatched to England without doing any enterprise or battle against the Moors or other non-Christians in accordance with the writings made between the said Count and the said King's ambassador.
First the said Count asks leave to present to the King of Aragon the letters of his King and Queen and to declare business committed to him by his King. If the King of Aragon will not use the Count and his company but discharge them, as the Bishop has declared, and not go against the infidels in person according to the said writings, then, before his return the said Count, in the service of Our Lord for which he came hither, is ready to make war against the said Moors and Infidels, enemies of our Holy Catholic Faith, under any nobleman whom the King will appoint. Having come so far, by command of the King of England, in order to serve God and the King of Aragon, the Count begs him to send an ambassador to the Soldan, or other ruler of the Infidels, asking for a battle en campo between 1,000 of theirs and 1,000 of the best of this side, either on horseback or on foot, of whom the Count can furnish 300 hidalgos without reckoning counts and knights of whom he has "20. If this is not approved he asks to be sent with letters of commendation to the King of Portugal or some other friend of the King's who has wars against the Infidels, and he trusts in God that they will not be dishonoured by him. If none of these suggestions suit, the Count Darse begs that he and his company may be mustered and despatched with ships, pay, victuals and other necessaries according to his obligation.
Finally, as the Count does not wish to return to his master without doing some service, in consideration of the great cost to which his master and the King of Aragon have been put, he begs that he and 20 gentlemen now with him may be allowed to serve the King of Aragon for a year without pay.

2 [1726.] Instructions of [Ferdinand of Arragon to the Bishop of Palencia]. * "person upon the said holy war, the which is that thing that I have alway desired," and in which [Ferdinand] would be glad to join them above all things in the world; but, as Christendom at present is vexed with wars, and Mother Church in so great necessity, he cannot go in person or send a captain general against the Infidels until these hostilities are composed.
(2) "Item ye shall say that the serenissim King of Portugal my son, nor none other king, at this present time, hath no war against the Infidels, in such wise that there is none at this time that they may go to, to serve in the war against the Infidels."
(3) To their request, that, if nothing come to effect of what is above said they may have their despatch so as to go against the Infidels alone, ye may reply that [Ferdinand] cannot but rejoice in their zeal, but that now no arrangements are made for the said wars;—when peace is established between the Church and Christian princes, he trusts to gratify their wishes in part. For the present they had better go home again to England. This voluntary offer of theirs is greatly to their honor, and the non-fulfilment of their purpose cannot be imputed to them.
(4) "Item after ye have answered all this above said, understand forthwith in their despatch with such diligence as I trust in you ye will do in such wise that ye may overtake me or I be much farther of these parts." Written in Civile, 16th day of June 1511.
