	Thanks him for his kindly writings and news of the appointment of Surrey as lieutenant-general of the North. On receipt of the King's letters at F[or]de, sent a servant to the King of Scots with Henry's letters. Has sent his answer by post, testifying a desire for peace. Dacre thinks it would be politic to overdrive the time, that "the cornes might be ... and housed, and the stuble eten bare with the cattle, and then it should be hard to the Scots to make [any] enterprise within this realme," as he has written to the King. Desires that the writings may be delivered according to a minute enclosed sent by the secretary of Scotland, and that he may have answer by next post. The treasurer of Scotland suggested to his servant that Henry might arrange matters by sending 4 or 5,000 angels to the King his master. He and the Bp. of Glasgow are good and discreet men, by whom Dacre gets much intelligence. Perceives James is much displeased that the Queen's legacy is withheld, saying "it is done in malice of him." Submits that it were honourable to pay it, the sum is so small. Sent to the assize at Newcastle divers misdoers, who have been executed. His brother, Philip Dacre, arrested Gawin Ogle there, and delivered him to the sheriff; but he escaped when the justices left the castle. Will answer for it this shall be remedied. Carlisle, 17 Aug. Signed.

	Wrote last on the 13th, and received his letters after the post was dispatched. Have accordingly told my Lady that they are ordered to return home if the King's matters are not dispatched. As it was Lady-day, "when she received the good Lord," they would then not communicate more; and she had been such a good friend that they did not like to displease her. Thomas Spinelly has declared to her the substance of the King's command. Send letters in French and Latin containing the news from Italy. Spinelly writes the rest. Brussels, 17 Aug.

	Wrote last on the 13th; and received the King's letters of the 10th. Had an interview with Margaret of Savoy, who promises to deal sincerely, as hitherto. She has written to the Emperor. Advises that a letter be sent to De la Roche, president of the Privy Council, who will be one of the principal persons employed in expediting the affairs of England. Thanks for a gift. Sends a copy of news Madame had received from France and Italy. Marraton has heard from Marnix that his departure is only delayed till they hear from Madame, and receive the form of commission desired by her. Charles de la Verderne, ordinary secretary, has letters from Arras that the Sieur de Leodo, a lord of Guienne, has been killed in a battle between the French and the Spaniards. Thinks that if this be true, the French had the worst of it. A chaplain of the Duchess of Coimbra, of Portugal, has arrived with a present for Madame of girdles and other things from Ghinea and Calcout; says he was at Brest 16 days ago, where was a great vessel of 700 tons, one of 400, one of 300 and four of 150 to 200; the crews for want of pay, were plundering the country. They are in great dread of an English army. Hears that a Norman vessel of 120 tons has taken a Portuguese vessel laden with cloth, from England, and killed the masters. This morning Madame had a post from Cologne. She will defer writing to England till next post. Sends extracts of a letter written by Jaques Bandicis to Lewis de Marlian. The Swiss have taken down all the banners gained by the French, at the battle of Ravenna, over the Pope and the King of Aragon, from the cathedral of Milan. The Pope has delivered the Swiss cantons banners as a memorial of the aid received from them. The Emperor has written to Madame to put the prothonotary of Melun, elect of Arras, in possession of his bishopric, but in view of the French opposition he is not likely to obtain it. Marraton has written to Marnix that the Duke of Ferrara keeps within the lands of the Colonnas (Coulongnois), and that the Pope desires to have Ferrara, which the Cardinal his brother will die to defend. It is thought that when the Count de Carpy returns from Rome to the Bishop of Gurce he will go to the Pope unless detained by affairs of Milan. It was reported at the Emperor's court 10,000 men had landed at Calais. Brussels, 17 Aug. 1512. Signed.

	19 Aug. 1512.—Delayed writing because they thought his successor Capello would soon be there; but now, understanding that Capello is delayed by the troubles between the Bishops and Laity in Germany and by the war of Gueldres, they write that Badoer's letters of 15th and 26th ult. have been received. Glad that the King is satisfied with their operations. Describe how they are besieging Brescia; how the Cardinal of Sion and the Swiss are besieging Novara and, that taken, will take Milan; how the armies of Spain and the Pope are constituted and how Janus de Campofregoso, who has entered Genoa and is created duke there, is getting possession of the castles. Are well disposed as ever to reconciliation with the Emperor and tried to get Gurk to go to Rome for this, who was lately at Mantua with the Viceroy and Count Carriati, Spanish ambassador here, to consult about Italy; but the Viceroy left without any conclusion being made. It is said that he awaits the Pope's decision, who is intent on directing matters for the benefit of the Holy League.

	Complains that whilst other princes had notice of a Lateran Council he had none, either by the Apostolic brief or any messenger. Would, nevertheless, have sent ambassadors to the Council, but could obtain no safe conduct from the King of England, who plunders the Scots and professes himself the soldier of Julius II., as if the Scots were at war with him. If the Scots repel force by force, Henry will no doubt complain to his Holiness. Begs the Pope will not, therefore, lend his ear to any complaints made against him. Complains of the Cardinal of York's opposition in the matter of the Rhodian preceptory of Torfichen for which James's chief secretary has been suing. Requests him to obtain the Pope's decision, and so cut off all occasion of appeal. Refers him to the Archdeacon of Murray. Edinburgh, _ (blank, the word "Augusti" struck out), 1512.

	Has heard from Cardinal of St. Eusebius that the Pope has acceded to the requests in the King's last letter, and given indulgences to the Chapel Royal, the hospital of _ (blank), and renewed the privileges of the College of Holy Trinity and St. Mary of Restalrig. The college was built by the piety of his father, is much frequented, and has great claims upon the King. Begs its privileges may be confirmed against the attempts of the ordinary, and that the rectory of Bute, in the diocese of Lismore, may be dismembered from the Chapel Royal, and incorporated with Restalrig, for the support of the chaplains of the choir, as the Archdeacon of Murray will inform him.

	Wrote last on the 17th; received a letter from the Emperor on the 19th, which they enclose with copy of a letter from Louis Marroton to my Lady, and another to my Lord Berges, by which he will understand her activity in all their business.

	Has received and immediately forwarded to the Swiss the 27,000 fl. for their pension. His answer to the ambassador of Navarre is that he is sorry for the loss sustained by the King and Queen of Navarre, and things are at present gone too far for him to give counsel, but he will willingly aid them when he can. Has written to the King of Aragon, and means to write to the King of England, touching the alliance of his daughter (fn. 1), Lady Mary, with the son of the King of Hungary. * * *
	Approves her advice about acting with Aragon and the Swiss in Italy. Is pleased that the offers of Medula have gone no further, for he now knows it is all deception; and he intends to despatch him back shortly and send her the despatch, so that the ambassadors of England may not be suspicious; for the Emperor wishes to maintain entire friendship with the King of England. * * * Cologne, 20 Aug. 1512.

	From Francesco Capello, Ulm, 20 Aug.—A herald has come from the Emperor at Constance (fn. 2) and preferred certain charges against him in German, commanding him to go into Bavaria, to Landshut or Munich. Of the fourteen charges the principal are that, during the truce, the Signory (1) has sent gentlemen and others to poison the Emperor, (2) has sent into Germany to burn towns, and of this a priest has been convicted, and (3) has sent to spoil the Emperor's artillery, (4) Capello has gone through the free towns, Memmingen, Kempten and Ulm getting public audience, to alienate them from the Emperor, and (5) the Pope and Signory, with the Swiss, want to divide the Duchy of Milan. If Capello wanted to go to England he should send his written commission to the Emperor, who would transmit it.
	[On receipt of this letter complaint was made to the Count of Chariati, Spanish ambassador, and to Daniel dal Borgo, Gurk's agent, both about Capello's detention and the proceedings of the Frangipani in Istria; and letters of protest were despatched into Germany to Gurk and to the Ambassador Lando at Trent, and to Rome to the Pope and to the King of England.]

	Wrote last on the 20th. The same day received the King's letters mentioning receipt of two of theirs, by the last of which it appeared that the Emperor intended to send Dr. Mote to treat of their matters. Did not mean to write that he should be sent to England for that purpose, but that the Bishop of Gurcke had urged the Emperor to send him "because he sent none since your coronation, to the entent he should be reseant in your court as your Grace hath had in his by the space of two years and more." My Lady is content to "let the coming of the said Doctor," for she never meant to send him for the above causes; howbeit a resident ambassador is to be sent. To-morrow she leaves Brussels for Mechlin, thence to Antwerp, Barowe, and so to Zeland, to hold a diet. She takes with her only such as are faithful Burgundians, and says that on receipt of the commission the writers shall have good and short despatch. Enclose letters received from the Emperor, Sir Robt. Wingfield, and Louis Marroton. Marynex shewed them a letter from the last to my Lady, stating he had his despatch from the Emperor, and intended to be at Brussels shortly: Brussels, 24 Aug.

	[Note of letters received late on 29 Aug. 1512.]
	From the Ambassador at Rome, 21, 22 and 24 Aug.—Negociations with Florence. Letters, of the 21st, from Mantua report departure of Gurk to Innsbrück to meet Maximilian Sforza. Prospero Colonna. The Duke of Ferrara has embarked [men] on two Ragusan carvels for Trieste. Three galleys of Venice and two of the Pope reached Genoa on the 19th, to join the fleet which goes to take Ventimiglia. The Pope wants Brescia taken before going to Ferrara. He has received a letter from the King of England, dated 8 Aug., showing that England had armed 100 ships, captured four French vessels and sunk two, and desired the Pope to send a fleet against Provence. * * *

	A notarial instrument by John Metcalff, clk., of the diocese of York, in favour of Christ. Walle and Eliz. his wife, of Boroughbridge in Yorkshire, made at Boroughbridge, 25 Aug. 1512, before Anthony Shorthoos, esq., and Rob. Jenkynson, testifying that Ric. Fox, son and heir of Rob. Fox, late of Boroughbridge, had demised for the use of the said Christ. and Eliz. his sister, and their heirs and assigns for ever, certain lands in Boroughbridge and Aldeburgh to Thos. Dalby, archdeacon of Richmond, Sir Ric. Aldeburgh, Will. Tate, LL.D., and Will. Garthyng, clk., (deed recited, as dated 2 Aug. 4 Hen. VIII. and witnessed by Ric. and Thos. Aldeburgh, John and Ric.

	Apologises for not having written before. Thinks Fox has heard of the news from Spain already. By Knight's letter, inclosed, he will know all that has been written by the Lord Marquis and John Style. The desire of the English to return home will be as bad a hindrance to the attack on Guienne as the King of Aragon's slackness, from whom the gentleman sent hither in the time of the Parliament to view the King's artillery, "a man full of words," is lately come to excuse it. Forwards letters from the English ambassadors in Italy. Gives an account of a severe sea fight near Brest on Tuesday fortnight, where the Regent captured the great carrick of Brest; but both, fouling, were burnt, and most part of the crew in them. Sir Thos. Knyvet and Sir John Carewe slain. Begs he will keep the news secret. Farnham, 26 Aug. Signed: "Thomas Wulcy."
	P.S.—The French fleet has fled to Brest. Sir Edward [Howard] has vowed "that he will never see the King in the face till he hath revenged the death of the noble and valiant knight Sir Thomas Knyvet." Sends the letters of thanks to Cardinal Hadrian.

	Wrote last on the 24th; and on the 25th, at Mechlin, received his letters, dated Warde[lham] the 20th, stating that he had received a copy of their letter to the Emperor, but "doubteth that the Emperor will think strange to see that we should im[pute] or arrecte inconstancy and wavering to his daughter, though she be a woman." Have omitted that clause, but the rough minute reached the King. Had only referred to the treaty of Cambray, and the sole powers to be given to my Lady in order to avoid needless delay. Don't think it necessary, as the King proposes, that Sir Robt. Wingfield should be sent to the Emperor at present, as they expect the commission every hour, and my Lady promises their despatch before she leaves Barowe; and he has no money for his journey. Mechlyn, 26 August.

	[Extract from a letter seen 27 Sept. 1512.]
	From the envoy (fn. 3) of the King of England with the Catholic King, dated Longionio in Castilia, 27 Aug. 1512.—But for the matter of Navarre preventing the Catholic King's army from joining ours we might have ere this occupied the country as far as Paris. Although it could not without the Spaniards besiege Bayonne. our army compelled the French King to recal his army from Italy and prevented his sending aid to Navarre, where the Spaniards have now reduced Pampeluna and all the other places. The King of Navarre fled to his lordship of Bearn. These Frenchmen remain, viz., the Duke of Bourbon, the lord of Palisia, the lord Dyonisius and the lord of Bona Valla, with a great army; to their own destruction as I hope, for our army in Guienne has not slept but burnt everything, to the gates of Bayonne, which belonged to such as refused to swear fealty to our King. For when our captain general first landed a great part of the gentlemen of that region came to him and swore fealty to our King. In next letter I hope to write of some great victory against the enemies of the Church.

	Wrote last on the 27th, from Antwerp, advertising the coming of Louis Marreton with the commission. That day my Lady came to Barowe, and the next to Zeland, returning hither again the same night. On the morrow, which was Sunday, they dined with the Lord Berges, and had a great dinner; "my Lady at that time being somewhat crased, wherefore it was yesterday, about 4 of the clock at afternoon, or we spake with her." The 29th, Marroton visited them, desiring them to remember the Emperor to the King, and excuse all delays as useful to both parties. Yesterday, in the presence of my Lady, the Lord Berges, the Governor of Bresse, and the President, the Emperor's commission was delivered to them and they presented theirs to my Lady, who requested them to send the articles of confederation to be examined. The President then gave them news out of Italy, of which they send copies with Spinelly's letters. At their departure a subject of the Prince of Castile came with letters to my Lady, and presented them with a letter (sent herewith) for the King from the King of Denmark. Barowe, 31 Aug.

S.P. Hen. VIII., 229, f. 57. R.O.	1363. [DARCY to SURREY.]
	Will not fail to attend his lordship against the Scots with 2,000 able men besides gentlemen, horsed and furnished for the wars, upon as short warning as any of his neighbours. In his company will be Sir Thos. Metham with 40, Sir Ralph Rider with 24, Sir Will. Skargill with 30, Sir John Everingham with 24, Sir Ralph Ellerkar with 24, Sir Ric. Aldburghe with 40, Sir Ric. Yorke with 24, Sir Ric. Wodrof's son and heir with 20, John Bygod with 100, Thos. Fairfax with 40, Harry Vavisour with 24, and Ric. Maliverer with 20. Total, 386 (sic). "Item, of my household and lands, 500. Item, of my offices whereof I am steward, 1,114." Total, 2,000. "Item, the gentlemen beforenamed and others within my house and rooms that have granted to be in like areadiness in my company," 80. Total, gentlemen and bills, 2,080.
	Is also bound by indenture to furnish Berwick in case of need and has put for surety thereof 500. Has viewed within his rooms and lands "of able men not horsed, harnessed, nor trimmed of bows and arrows, at least 2,676; whereof archers 1,400, and bills 1,276." If the King go into France in person, will be as ready to attend him with such a number as any in these parts.

Le Glay, Corresp. de Max. et de Marg., II., 31.	1364. MARGARET OF SAVOY to MAXIMILIAN (fn. 4).
	Rejoices at good news as well of the Swiss as of the Viceroy of Naples, and thinks he should press the Venetians to make an appointment now that they are stunned, for the Viceroy cannot recover Padua or other great towns without costly assistance from the Emperor, and she will never advise him to abandon his great enterprise in which the King of England will do his part and the Emperor (she hopes) his, but there is no time to lose. The ambassador of Aragon told her yesterday that his master is in Autbierne and has taken some towns, intending to conquer the whole country and then go forward. The French fear him much, having to keep a strong force on this side. Mestre Symon de Ferette and Amersdorf have returned from the King of England bringing a letter for the Emperor, which she sends. They will write of that King's great love for the Emperor and his house and desire for an interview, which she thinks would be a great means both of overawing their enemies and taking counsel together better than can be done by ambassadors. Since Mons. de Bergues refuses to go to the King, that others should be provided, at least to stay with him until the Emperor's coming.
	On a separate paper.—Writes to Maître Louis to inform him at length touching the prisoner (fn. 5) she has made.
