26 Oct.	657. The Privy Council.
Dasent's A. P. C., 262.	Meeting at Windsor, 26 Oct. Present: Norfolk, Hertford, Cheyney, Wingfield, Sadler, Paget, Petre, Riche. Business:—Letter written to Gamboa to send 2 (sic) horsemen hacquebutiers to Lord Wharton when required, for an exploit in Scotland.

26 Oct.	658. Thomas Husey to the Earl of Surrey.
R. O.	"This present Thursday" (fn. n1) my lord's Grace (fn. n2) told me of your request for the access of your wife and children to Bowlene, and what answer the King made him therein, as Fowlmerston will declare. Schelton would have you write for him, for he thinks that my lady of Ritchmonde "will stay him upon his account." My lord asked how far forth I was with Rwkwode touching Rowchford. "What way," he asked, "taketh my son for payment of his debts?" I answered " 'I know not.' 'Well,' quod he, 'he oweth Fulmertson an honest sum, and what oweth he you?' I answered 'So much as I can be content to forbear in respect of his necessity.' " And so I gather that my lord will make some stop in your bargain for Ruschforde for payment of your debts. Handle Fulmerston discreetly and send your resolute answer. The money must come wholly to your hands, for you cannot both pay your whole debts and furnish your present necessities.
	P.S. in his own hand: Albeit "the provision of those things committed to Senthelles charge" will not be obtained at my lord's hand we shall make shift for them upon my credit in this town. My lord is determined that your revenues at Lady Day last shall be received by the steward, and the overplus paid to your ministers. Your lordship remains "in as goud faime on thes sied the seesse as yowre lowkye sowksedinges have prosperid happelye on that sied." Londone, 26 Oct.
	Handle the matter wisely for the sale of your lands, for my lord said he would see your debts paid. "And by thesse meanes and othere ye may be maid werye and you wille of Bowleine. As my trwste ys in yowe, bowrne thys lettere."
	Pp. 2. Add.: lieutenant of Boulogne. Endd.: Thomas Hussies l're, thend therof declaring that therle of S'rey by meanes to be weryed of Boleyn.
26 Oct.	659. Van der Delft to Paget.
R. O.	Cannot sufficiently accuse the gout, not because of the intolerable pain which it gives him day and night, but because it detains him from tendering his thanks to the King for loving and honorable treatment "in hoc jucundissime jam peracto progressu." Begs Paget to make his excuses. London, 26 Oct. 1545.
	No letters from the Emperor as yet, but they cannot be long in coming. Signed: Fran. Dilfus.

26 Oct.	660. Otwell Johnson to John Johnson.
R. O.	London 26 Oct. 1545:—Your wife and family were well on Friday last, as I learnt from Mr. Gainsford, your gossip. We trust that you are safely arrived at Calleis. The day of your departing I learnt that my friend Thomas Appenrithe died on the Friday or Saturday before, "wherefore I suppose that you have before this felt a piece of his father's mind towards me concerning mine Exchequer matter." I would gladly hear it, having his pack of cloth ready to send him. Your matter at Westminster remains as you left it, for Mr. Parson and "Walke a knave" make courtesy to reply. Mr. Crooke has promised to call tomorrow for your costs if they do not presently follow the matter. My cousin Bretain, your brother, is this day come to the Term and will help.
	Your shipping ends tomorrow, and your four pottels of wool are shipped. All your new wool here is used as you appointed. I could despatch much of it by Christmas for ready money if I might let the "lokke" go for 15s. 8d. the todd and the "leiche" for a mark. 16 mark the sack is above 16s. 5d., and too much by every man's judgment. "Your purchaise I can do nothing therein as yett, for lakke of the woodeyers certyfication. Ther is yett no newe admitted." Harrison's 20l. is called for by Mr. Laxton, and to pay it to-morrow I must borrow of Mr. Tanfeld's bag until money comes in for wool or wine. Pray learn of Chr. Foele whether Henry Garbrand is come from the vintage. Herein is a letter of Mary Warner's to her brother Bartholomew, of whom pray require speedy answer to my letter concerning Ant. Bruskett's money; and show him "that James Walche is come home lusty and merry out of Scotland (the Lord be praised) and is going forth shortly to sea, captain in my lord his master's ship. God speed him well!" Commendations to all friends, including Wm. Home and Thos. Flecton.

26 Oct.	661. John Gery to John Johnson.
R. O.	London, 26 Oct. 1545:—Commend me to my uncle Johnson and my aunt, showing him that Robert Mandfelde had both the kilderkin of verjuice and the runlet of vinegar for him, although he writes to my brother Otwell that he only received the verjuice. Let him speak to Mandfelde for the vinegar, for both my servant and John Hollande, Mr. Appenrythe's servant, saw it on board with "a card nailed upon it directed unto him." Private business matters with Mr. Bate and Mr. Benytt.
	Hol., p. 1. Add.: brother.
26 Oct.	662. John and Edward Maxwell to Wharton.
R. O.	Are informed that he is discontent with them for going against the house of Carlaverok, contrary to their chief. Went because the whole country was commanded thereto by the Governor, and refusal would have involved imprisonment for treason and loss of goods. Could not help to the house of Carlaverok, as the country was and is lying about it. "Bot we have insafer as we mycht for glamer of ye cuntre causit . art of pulder and altailze haid to ye Treiff, quhilk hes beyne persewit [b]e ye haile cuntrecht of Gollovay, and trowis verrelie w^t ye grace of God his hous salbe un voyn till his hame cummyn.

26 Oct.	663. Thirlby to Paget.
R. O.	Received the letters herewith from the King's Commissaries by Monsr. Vanderet; and, as the matter is weighty, and he has no experience, instructions or commission therein, he despatches the letters with all diligence to Cales, to go thence by the ordinary post. Gaunte, 26 Oct.

26 Oct.	664. Charles V. to Henry VIII.
Spanish Calendar, viii., No. 160.	D'Eick delivered the King's letter and now returns to convey, jointly with the resident ambassador, a verbal message from the Emperor. Ghent, 26 Oct. 1545.
26 Oct.	665. Charles V. to Gardiner.
Ib. No. 161.	D'Eick, who now returns to England, is instructed to confer with him in passing. Ghent, 26 Oct. 1545.
26 Oct.	666. Charles V. to Van der Delft.
Ib. No. 162.	Has seen his letter answering that of Granvelle from Brussels. Scepperus is returning with instructions for both, touching his latest mission by the King. Ghent, 26 Oct. 1545.
26 Oct.	667. Charles V.
Add. MS. 28,173, f. 329. B. M.	Instructions for Corneille Schepperus and Fras. Van der Dylft on the return of Scepperus to the King of England.
	After cordial salutations, they shall tell the King that by Scepperus the Emperor is informed of what passed between the King and them touching the interview, the truce or peace between the King and the king of France, and the specification of certain points in the treaty of closer amity, which should be cleared up before the interview, for reasons mentioned in their instruction of 27 Sept. last, and that, learning both by the King's ambassador and by Scepperus, the King's desire to know the Emperor's resolution upon the interview as soon as possible, the Emperor has sent Scepperus back again to declare as follows:—Learning by Scepperus the King's desire to cross the sea for an interview if the Emperor would for that purpose approach the frontiers of Flanders and Arthois, the Emperor despatched an express to the King of the Romans and some of his trusted ministers to learn whether his coming to the Imperial Diet, fixed for the 10th Jan., might be deferred; but was answered that, to give the States no excuse for delaying to attend the Diet, and to check the mischief that might arise from the death of the Abp. of Mayence, first elector of the Empire, and the war between Duke Henry of Brunswyck and his adversaries, and to make timely preparation against the Turk (with whom truce or peace was uncertain as there was no news from the ambassadors sent to him), and other reasons, it was more than necessary that the Emperor should not fail to be at the Diet on the day prefixed. Now the King's passage cannot be before the truce, which is deferred by the difficulty which his ambassador has raised, his power being only to treat the peace and the truce jointly; and as the weather is now uncertain, the winter near, the days short and the sea unsafe, and the Emperor is advertised that the King has despatched hither the bp. of Winchester, "ung des plus secretz de son Conseil," a personage well able to do what should be done in the interview, and the war between the princes might involve the ruin of all Germany, and the Turk is likely to seize the occasion for war on Hungary, the Emperor thinks that the King would rather counsel him to hasten into Germany. Otherwise it would be a great pleasure to the Emperor to meet the King.
	As to the secret points and articles of the treaty of closer amity which should be cleared up, since the King sends the said Bishop by whom he caused them to be declared to you (presupposing that the Bp. will be furnished with sufficient power), we will, before leaving these countries, give him our final answer. In case the Bp. has not the said power you will solicit the King to send it.
	Scepperus shall then return to the Queen of Hungary, and Vander Delft shall continue his charge and advertise as often as possible all news. Ghent, 26 Oct. 1545.

26 Oct.	668. Gardiner to Paget.
R. O.	I have seen these letters to my lord of Westminster from the Commissaries with the Almains, and would the Admiral had been come, that I might tell my message to the Emperor in that matter; "but here I tarry abiding answer from you." Newporte, 26 Oct.
	Skepperus will be here today in his return to the King.
	Hol., p. 1. Add. Endd.: 1545. Beneath the address Paget has written: "To be returned to the Court."
27 Oct.	669. Scepperus to Charles V.
Spanish Calendar, viii., No. 164.	Pointed out to Winchester the importance of speedily concluding a truce; but he asserted that he had no authority to discuss any such truce unless the Emperor consents to the interview; his coming was to negociate peace and he expected to find the Admiral of France here or he would not have hurried so. Finds, too, that Winchester has no power to treat on the secret points which the writer submitted to the Emperor. Will therefore request the King to grant such powers. Nieuport, 27 Oct. 1545.
27 Oct.	670. Scepperus to Granvelle.
Spanish Calendar, viii.. No 163.	Expected to find Winchester at Bruges; but, since Saturday, he has remained in Nieuport because of the delayed arrival of the Admiral of France. Explained that the delay was through lack of a decision in the matter of the truce; and writes his reply to the Emperor. His King will not retain the Germans in his service at Calais and elsewhere. He is dissatisfied with them, and will complain to the Emperor of those under Frederick von Reissenberg. Nieuport, Tuesday, 27 Oct. 1545.
27 Oct.	671. Vaughan to Paget.
R. O.	This morning, bearer brought a letter from Mr. Chamberleyn, showing that, to enforce their demand for four months' pay the Almains have the King's Commissaries in ward. "Happy is he that hath no need of Almaynes; for of all the nations under the heavens they be the worst, most rudest and unreasonablest to deal withal." Is now sending Mr. Dymock to the other commissaries with money; and will get as much more, by exchange or otherwise, and send it with diligence. Sent the Commissaries a copy of Paget's late letter. Andwerp, 27 Oct.
	Surely the Almains will keep the Commissaries until paid the fourth month.

27 Oct.	672. Bucler and Mont to Henry VIII.
R. O. St. P., x. 642.	Wrote on the 21st inst. Letters from the scribe of the Lantgrave's "cancellarie" in Cassells came yesterday to the magistrates here, signifying that the Lantgrave, Duke Maurice and the Duke of Lunemburgh, with the Duke of Saxon's men, marched on Wednesday (fn. n3) night last, about 12 o'clock, by moonlight to attack the Duke of Brunswick's camp; who was ready for them and compelled them to "recule." But the Lantgrave, animating his men, continued the fight till a great part of Brunswick's host cried "misericordia;" to which the Lantgrave, at the persuasion of the others, consented on condition that Brunswick and his eldest son would yield themselves, which they did. Today a messenger, passing through this town, says that the counts of Oldenburgh and Ritburgh are taken, and that he saw Brunswick and his eldest son brought prisoners into Cassels. The magistrates here look hourly for their own messengers. Have written to the Lantgrave's secretary to have news from him, but hitherto have had none. Franckforde, 27 Oct. Signed.
	Pp. 2. Add. Endd.: 1545.
27 Oct.	673. Bucler and Mont to Paget.
R. O.	Have written to the King, on the 21st, and now again, all news. Beg him to remember their post, for his return. "If we had had anything to say we would have been with the Lantgrave at this present business." Franckforde, 27 Oct. Signed.

28 Oct.	674. The Privy Council.
Dasent's A.P.C., 264.	Meeting at Windsor 28 (misprinted "xviij^th") Oct. Present: Norfolk, Hertford, Cheyney, Wingfield, Sadler, Paget, Petre, Riche. Business:— Order taken for Philip Chewte and John Istedde, bailiff of Hastinges, with two others of Hastinges, owners of a ship whereof Wm. Woller was captain, to restore to Ant. Macuelo goods taken out of a Spanish ship by Woller, and to apprehend Woller.
28 Oct.	675. Paget to Sleidan.
R. O.	The King has received as well your first letters touching the departure of your companions from the court of France, as these which have just been delivered to me, reporting that your said colleagues will be tonight at Ardres, and that the French Commissaries will follow. For answer, the King wishes me to advertise you that he will also send his; and I am preparing to go, for that purpose, and with me the bp. of Durham "(quem Galli vocant episcopum Dulmensem, nomine Cuthbertum Tonstallum)," and we will soon be at the sea side ready to cross when we hear from you that those of France are arrived at Ardre, or at least are on the way thither. There is no man to whom the sea passage is more hurtful than to me, and therefore I would not begin to cross until sure of the above; and, but for my love to the public weal, I would not cross the sea in winter to gain 50,000 cr. Within two days I set out. Recommendations to the Marshal.

28 Oct.	676. Wharton to Henry. VIII.
R. O. St. P., v. 552.	Since his letters of the 25th, a great watch has been kept round the King's castle of Carlaverok by lairds Johnston, Dumlanerike, Lokenver and the countrymen of Nydisdaill, Galoway and Anerdaill, except the Bells and Batisons whom Wharton has in bond to serve the King. Finds great want of horsemen. On the 26th, having devised for 200, 160 or 180 horsemen to enter the said castle by night, drew secretly to Eske with 200 wallets and victuals for nine days and money for wages, but, of those appointed to meet him, found only 80 good horses; and yet the countrymen of Bewcastledaill, Esk, Leven, Lanercoost, part of the Quenys Hamys and all of the King's lands, the baronies of Burghe and Gillesland, the lord Dacre's lands, and the Bp.'s and "Colligies" of Carlisle were all there. Thomas Carlton and the others in Carlaverok actively defend it. Learns, this Wednesday morning, that the Maxwells begin to repent what they have done; and that no more power is come to the said house. Upon news of the Governor's coming, sent espials to learn where he is, who have not returned. Glencarne is master of Dumbretan castle. Lynoux is landed in the Isle of Boytt. On Thursday, 22 Oct., the Governor and Anguishe met at Langrik and agreed for the murder of Parson Lebberton, Anguishe's cousin. But the truth of proceedings in Scotland is uncertain. Has appointed, this St. Simon's Day, every ruler of men within 14 miles of Carlisle to bring before him all their horsemen who have horses worth above 4 mks.; and expects to relieve Carlaverok castle if the enemies keep no better watch than on the 26th. If he can get 200 light horsemen into the castle they will, within two days, be able to victual themselves, with Wharton's aid, by land and water, if the power of Scotland come not. If that power come they will "as much esteem" the winning of Loughmaben as Carlaverok, which will be a busy piece of work if Lord Maxwell prove true. Hears from John Maxwell of Cowhyll, in Loughemaben, that he has victuals for 60 men until Christmas, and that he has offered to deliver the castle to the Governor on condition that he is made captain of it. Carlisle, 28 Oct. Signed.
	Pp. 3. Add. Endd.: 1545. Despatched at Carlisle, 28 Oct., at 9 a.m.
28 Oct.	677. Vaughan to Paget.
R. O.	As he wrote yesterday, by Christmas, the King's Commissaries are kept in ward by the "gent darmes," having not so few as a hundred waiting at their chamber doors. Sent them on Saturday last, 24th inst., by Mr. Avery, 30,000l. Fl.; and now makes haste to send the rest, 33,000l. Fl., by Mr. Dymok to Bynx in Henault, but lacks thereof 5,000l. Fl. which he cannot yet get. Today Jasper Dowche "made a trayne to talk with me," and told his grief to learn by his friend Nicholucho, who is returned from England, that the King and you "should not take well his service." I must entreat you to show friendly countenance to Barth. Compaigne, that he may signify to Jaspar Dowch that I have commended him. "Undoubtedly here is nothing to be done without him." Perceiving him sorrowful, and knowing not where to get 5000l. or 6000l. wherewith to pay the Almayns, I merrily asked him whether, if I needed so much for a month or two, he could get it within a day or twain. He "promised he would." If he so do let him be an honest man again. To show his friends that I have honestly reported him, it may like you to feign to Bart. Compaigne "that ye have been informed that the cause of mine arrest proceeded not of him." Andwerp, 28 Oct.
	Honest men here tell me that the French king is "exceeding bare of money, and his country exceedingly pressed with misery and poverty." If the wars continue a year longer, you shall drive him to all your desires. Signed.
	P.S.—Surely these Almains will do the Commissaries all kinds of displeasure to make the King pay their fourth month.

28 Oct.	678. Fane and Chamberlain to the Council.
R. O.	"Here i[s one] Alvers Bishope, the King's Majesty's servant, who hath sh[own us] a letter of retinue under the King's Majesty's great seal for three hundred horse," of which he has already a number at Callais and fifty here which he was forbidden to pass through the Low Countries, as Mr. Caern can testify, "who was mean to the Regent for him." We have stayed him and other gentlemen who were resorting to you with a promise to "incommende" them and make them answer; and as they have followed this band for three months, thinking to pass with it, and part of their number is already at Calles, please signify the King's pleasure, and perchance we may "still them" with some reward. Florines, 28 Oct. 1545. Signed.
	Pp. 2. Add. Endd.
28 Oct.	679. Chamberlain to Paget.
R. O.	Having yesternight received your letter to me and my colleagues, from Mr. Vaughan, straitly charging us not to exceed three months with these people, we declare in our general letter what we are able to do; wherefore it may like you to signify how to use such heady people. I send the French cipher which I found about Mons. de Longevale's messenger, "servant to the French king's man that lay at Confluence for to have disturbed our army, as it now maketh me suspect he did." Wishes Paget and his lady health. The abbey of Florines, 28 Oct.
	Wishes that they might give the poor abbot here some reward, whom they have put to such charge that he may count his house suppressed. To cover his own expenses, begs Paget to get his diets doubled.

	Pp. 3. Add. Endd.: 1545.
28 Oct.	680. Fane and Chamberlain to the Council.
R. O.	This morning, after Mr. Cristmas departed to you with our letters, came the "guidons" of the footmen saying, in the name of the commonalty, that, unless very shortly provided with money, they would put us, the Coronel and all the head officers in irons. D.escribe how they were pacified with a promise of 5,000 cr. or 6,000 cr. and some victuals until money should come. Sent for the Coronel, to whom on the 19th they delivered 11,500 cr., which if distributed would have left the footmen in the King's debt, and told him that he should rather have paid it and all that he had of his own than occasioned this broil and the imprisonment of the King's commissaries, they being watched day and night by half-a-dozen armed men as if they were murderers; and Chamberlain required certain of the captains to see the accounts between the Coronel and him from the day they first met at Colloine until 19 Oct., when the half of this second month was not ended, and reminded them of their promise to serve 8 or 10 days if the money should not be ready; but they would not listen. The Commissaries of the Emperor and bp. of Liege saw the reckoning, and said that they heard that this was a practice of the Coronel to break up and go succour his master the Landsgrave, who has been worsted by the Duke of Bromswicke. Learn secretly that his temporising and marching about ever since the muster was in order that he might not be far off if the Lands-grave needed him; and the writers have suspected as much ever since they wrote, by Francis, that a gentleman brought them "credit" from the Lands- grave, three days after they left the muster place, "requiring us to return and aid him." This protracting of time, as written by Francis and Nicholas, the posts, the writers often "laid unto him," and he scornfully replied that such an army was not to be led in the air, and that he would deserve the King's thanks; and he rejoiced that the King turned them from the devastated country of Bollonois to a fertile country where they would all be made rich and by their acts merit to be chronicled. Send intelligences which the French king's man who lay at Confluence to disturb this army, wrote to his master, showing that what has now come to pass was intended. He learned it from the captains and soldiers, following the march to Liege and then going to France. Have this from a messenger sent by Mons. de Longevale to the bp. of Liege, who was servant to the said man "that lay at Confluence to practise with the Conte Pallatyne and other Protestants for to disturb this army." Other writings were found about the messenger, which they have set him to copy and will send by next post.
	This night, after supper, Riffenberghe sent his clerk to declare that the captains would have the fourth month according to Eidell Wolfe's and Buckeholt's bargains. Answered that neither the one nor the other compact bound the King to more than three months, who would pay as much as by their compact was due, but was not a prince to yield more because of their evil using of the writers, his commissaries, and had sent the Emperor a copy of his bargain. And, having knowledge of Mr. Averie's departing from Andwarpe with the money, the writers asked whether Riffenberghe according to his bargain, and his people according to their oath, would give the musters truly before receipt of the money, and grant the writers safeconduct to take them. To this obtained no answer. Find that Edell Wolfe and Buckeholte reckon to have the fourth month. The captains report that they have done service enough by their assembly, which caused the French king to retire from Bolloine.
	Finally, this morning, we have word that, when paid the second and third month, unless the King give the fourth month they will carry us with them as prisoners. And, because we think the Emperor will not be pleased with their long demore here and the damage they have done, we send the copy of the account kept with the Coronel to my lord of Westminster, to declare to his Majesty the dealings of Riffenbergh. Florines, 27 Oct. 1545.
	P.S.—When about to despatch the above, learnt Mr. Averie's arrival at Binckes, 6 leagues hence (and they send 200 more horse of Eydell Wulfe and Buckeholte to conduct him). Sent word to the Coronel requiring that, as the money was now come, they might be released and suffered to take the musters. After some delay, certain captains brought his answer that they should have liberty to take the musters and then return to prison "till horsemen and footmen were clearly despatched of as much as they could ask," and as for the musters all who were sick or absent should be paid for.
	Upon receipt of Mr. Secretary's letter, from Mr. Vaughan, signifying again, as though we had been in the enemy's lands, to use them no more than the three months, we sent for the Coronel; who refused to come, but sent an account (copy herewith). It shows his unreasonable demands (detailed, one of them being that the horsemen should have four months' wages). We sent him word again that we would be loth to write thereof to the King, and that we had received further advertisements which we would declare to him. He sent answer that "the horsemen should teach us what belonged thereto and to all the rest, and that we lay too much at our eases, that we should lie abroad in the camp and take part of the wet weather as the footmen do. And thus he useth us with as much spite as he can." He is reported to have said that he knows that he has lost the King's favour and will do his worst, and none of his captains will hear of his pact with the King; but, after paying the footmen, rather than we will consent to the fourth month, they shall carry us in irons and do with us what they list. Whether all that we write of his dealings is true we wot not; nor do we heed his sayings if he will keep his bargain. We have written to Mr. Vaughan to send us 30,000l. Fl. more and 10,000 cr. or 12,000 cr. besides, "as was ordained afore" to Binckes; and meanwhile we will "rid" the footmen. After despatching them, we shall see how the horsemen frame. Florines, 28 Oct. 1545. Signed.

	2. Instruction to Bastian to declare to the captains of horsemen and footmen that, on the King's behalf, "we, his Highness' Commissaries and generals," inform them that the money due to them for this second month is arrived at Bynxe, and we require them (according to the pact with Frederick van Righenbergh, their coronel, and their oath) to give us their musters, dismissing us of this imprisonment, that we may come into their camp and exercise our office; and for our safeguard we require them to send four or six of their captains into the town of Bynxe, there to remain until we have ended the musters and paid this second month. For the 3rd month, for their return homewards, we require them to send three or four gentlemen to Antwerp, with "another of our colleagues," where it shall be paid; and we, Sir Ralph Fane and Thomas Chamberleyn, promise to remain with them meanwhile. That done, we require them to conduct us to some place at hand where we may be safe.

R. O.	Being continually troubled with these people, and especially to see the King thus deceived, I forgot to send by Nicholas, the post, this morning, the account that Riffenbergh makes. "By the same ye shall see what he meaneth; but, unless the King's Majesty do signify his pleasure, I will rather be drawn in pieces than to yield to his demands, which I know to be unreasonable. And thus I pray God his Majesty never need more this nation, but send us perpetual peace and you long life, with my good lady." Abbey of Florines, 28 Oct. 1545.

29 Oct.	682. The Privy Council.
Dasent's A.P.C., 264.	Meeting at Windsor, 29 Oct. Present: Cheyney, Browne, Wingfield, Paget, Petre, Sadler, Riche. Business:—Letter to the Master of the Rolls to discharge bonds entered by Ant. Macuelo and Ant. Gueras touching a Spanish ship at Plymouth, the parties being agreed. Letter to my lord Prince's Council touching his removing to Copthall or Havering "in case of any visitation at Hunsden."
29 Oct.	683. Hertford to Paget.
R. O.	Thanks for letters of occurrents in the North sent by the writer's servant Flesher. Cannot believe it true that garrisons of Scottishmen are placed along the borders of Scotland, or the 90 men from Warke, who seem to have raised fire about Hume, could not have returned with the spoil so quietly. Marvels too where such garrisons can have lodging and coverture, victuals and horsemeat, "since all is so razed, spoiled and burnt." Wonders what John Carr should mean (having 100 horsemen of his retinue and 60 hacquebutiers, horsemen, with Crowche lying there) to send but 80 of his men and 10 gunners instead of the whole number (as was appointed for such enterprises), and also when he writes of 150 Scottishmen in garrison at Kelsoo, why he suffers them to lie there in quiet. The Warden of the East Marches ought to consider this. As to the road with 800 men, of which Carre writes, lord Evre should be written to to that effect, so that they may destroy the country if the Scots have eftsoons "manured" it. Even if there were such garrisons of Scottish men, Carre might, with the adjoining garrisons of Norham, Ettell, Fourde and Woller, distruss them one after another; of which the Warden should also be reminded.
	Lord Baldewyn is lately dead, whose wife, now widow, "hath been of long obstracted of her wits" and is mother to Hertford's kinsman, Sir William Wroughton. As she is now at the King's appointment and unable to govern herself, Wroughton desires to have the governance of her. Begs Paget to move the King for this. At my house at Shene, 29 Oct. 1545.

Explains, with many regrets, that the soldiers have sold their horses, except some 50 or 60 who have wages for horses, because things are so dear that they can scant live themselves upon 4cr. a month. Will send the 50 or 60, and as many more as can find horses, and let Wharton have 1,000 footmen if he wishes it; and requests that some person may be sent to guide them. Newe Castyll, 29 Oct.

29 Oct.	685. Wharton to Henry VIII.
R. O. St. P., v. 554.	On 29 Oct., at 8 p.m., has received letters from the Council dated Windsor, the 26th, signifying that, with 200 hagbutters on horseback from Gamba, 500 or 600 horsemen from the Wardens of the East and Middle Marches, to whom he should write, and the power of the West Wardenry, it was thought that he could victual Carlaveroke, and that he should appoint small boats with victual to meet his army there; also that he should put 50 more horsemen at Langhollm besides the 50 already there. Explains that the way to Carlaveroke is 28 miles and, where it crosses Loker moss, it may easily be cut, that it passes within a mile of Dumfries, that in the present "contagiouse" weather no waters can be crossed for a day or two, that there are boats enough for 300 men but they cannot land within a mile of Carlaveroke, and their owners "doubteth much to come on the sea at this time of the year," that the power of the West Marches is only 1,500, and of these but 200 are able horsemen (he wrote on the 28th of the want of horses), that the expedition must encamp three nights in Scotland and that it is thought by expert men not feasible at this season. Has however written to the said Wardens for 600 horsemen and to Gamba for 200 Spaniards, to be at Carlisle on Thursday, 5 Nov., and appointed the able men of the West Wardenry to be there; before which time he cannot arrange for defence of the country and other matters. Wishes Loughmaben castle were manned by such as might be trusted, and a strong garrison of horsemen laid there, and would himself rather venture to put certain light horsemen into Carlaveroke by night than pass there with double the aforesaid power. These two houses and Langhollm would keep those parts in subjection, and keep the Governor occupied if he should raise an army. Carlisle, 29 Oct. at midnight. Signed.

	The Kings of France and England had agreed to send envoys hither to treat for peace, but the French Admiral could not come because of the war and the German troops of the King of England, which had already entered French territory. These troops have now been dismissed, although they still keep the English Commissioners and their Colonel with them until they get another month's pay; and, therefore, the plenipotentiaries may soon be here, the bp. of Winchester being near Bruges and the Admiral of France able to come in a few days.

Having received much assistance from him, commends him highly. Could never learn that he caused the arrest; and, even now, Vaughan needing 6000l.

R. O.	"An answer made by all the captains of this army, as well horsemen as footmen, to certain demands given in writing by the King's Majesty's our most gracious lord his commissaries and generals."
	[The footmen] although not bound (after the Commissaries have given them leave to depart) to muster, will do so, but will have pay for men who by reason of ill payment have run away, or are sick, &c. As to the captains of the horsemen, they are not bound to be mustered, but their letters of retainment clearly express that, if given licence to depart within three months, they shall have three months' wages, and also a fourth month for their return home; and upon receiving licence to depart, many of them have sold their horses, some horses are dead, they have been kept waiting all summer, have pledged their patrimonial goods to furnish themselves, object to certain proposed deductions, &c., and will be paid their whole claim. All are agreed not to set the Commissiaries at liberty, so as to avoid "insurreption and hurte whiche might come, by the means of ther slowe and unnordinate payment, bothe unto them and to the Coronell," and to avoid "insurreption" against the Coronell because of "the suspition that was laide unto him, by his evill willers and dishoneste people, against the trewithe, that he shoulde have recevide a wholle monthes wages apon us 6all." After receiving this month's wages, and the conduct home for the footmen and all that is owed to the horsemen, they will set the Commissaries free; and they will not send to Andwarpe or any other place for money, contrary to the usage of war. Florines, 29 Oct. 1545.

29 Oct.	690. Verallo to Cardinal Farnese.
R. O.	After writing yesterday the letter herewith, we dined with Granvela, who, as though thinking that we wished to hear the issue of the memorial which, by the Emperor's command, was given to him at Malines, began to make excuse that he had not yet expedited it, saying that both in Antwerp and here he was busy providing that the Emperor's country, and much more that of Liege, should suffer no damage from the Almains that were to have gone against France and are returning disbanded and claiming certain pays from England, and likewise 2,000 Almain horse which have served England at Boulogne and will very soon return. He believes that a truce will follow between France and England, which the Emperor desires and procures, who has just sent back Cornelio (et novamente ci ha rimandato Cornelio); and here for that purpose the bp. of Winchester is expected presently, for whom lodging is ordered in Bruges, whither [this Court] repairs (dovo se andra) after All Souls Day. As to our memorial, he had appointed with the Emperor to consider it tomorrow; and neither the Emperor nor he would omit anything to satisfy his Holiness, with whom it behoved the Emperor always to be in union.

30 Oct.	692. Wharton to Henry VIII.
R. O.	Divers Scots come to Carlisle with messages from Lord Maxwell's friends in Scotland saying that they would be glad to see him with them. This night came one who says that larde Garlies sent him to Lord Maxwell, if here, to "offer him any pleasure he could do." Lord Maxwell's greatest enemies are reported to be the lards Lokenver and Johnston, who seek to have Maxwell's offices, respectively, in Galoway and Anerdaill. Maxwell seems to have many friends, and if sent home could, if he act truly, cause those holds to be more easily kept, "the straitness of the country and the season of the year considered. The seas these six days past could not be brooked with any boats upon that coast about Carlaverok, the weather continueth so contagious." Carlisle, penult of October.
	P.S.—Since writing the above, received the enclosed letters from John Maxwell of Brekenside, and Edward Maxwell of Tynalde, Scotsmen prisoners. Knows not what credit is to be given them. The messenger says he could no sooner come "by occasion of waters." Signed.

R. O. St. P., x. 643.	Wrote on the 24th inst. how their companions in the French court had taken leave, after learning by the writers that the sequestration of Boulogne was not agreeable to Henry, who also thought the means (intimated both by their companions and themselves as suitable for the final pacification) not sufficient to satisfy his claim. But since coming hither, have sent word to their companions that Henry seemed inclined to gratify their Princes, and therefore they should again move the French King for the assembly. This is done, and the French King has consented that they (the ambassadors) should meet for treaty, and that men from both sides may be sent as soon as possible. Have, for the sake of the ancient reputations of the two Kings, decided to beg them, in the name of the Princes, to send their men simultaneously to Calais and Ardre; and their companions, upon showing this to the King, have been answered by the Admiral that, to gratify the Princes and States, the King was well inclined to send in that way, and, if Henry sent men of like quality, would send him (the Admiral) and other personages of the Council. Beg him, therefore, in the name of their Princes, if he consents to treat, either of the sequestration of Boulogne, as heretofore declared by them, or of the final pacification in surrendering Boulogne to France, for recompense, and in comprehending the Scots (seeing that otherwise there seems no likelihood of pacifying differences), to send some of his Council to be at Calais on 11 Nov. or the day following. If he condescends to this, they would like to know by bearer what men he thinks of sending; but if he does not wish to listen to it, they beg him to send their dismissal that they and their companions may return home. Calais, Friday, 30 Oct., 1545. Signed.
	P.S.—News has just come from his premier Secretary which has much rejoiced them, and they thank him for his benign declaration, which they, will report to their Princes and States. If the said Secretary's letter had come sooner they would not have written so fully, but they wished to declare their desire to pacify things.

30 Oct.	694. Christofle Haller to Wriothesley and Paget.
R. O.	Upon their letter of credence, agreed with Stephen Vaughan, the King's commissioner now in Antwerp, for 60,000 cr. upon surety here. Has been offered surety in England, which for himself he would not refuse, but most of the money belongs to friends who insist upon surety here, keeping the money ready and charging him with the interest. If the promised sureties cannot be delivered he begs to have interest for the time the money has been kept ready. That it may not be thought that he distrusts the King and his subjects of London, offers, if the King will take jewels for 25,000 cr. or 30,000 cr., to provide 100,000 cr. or 150,000 cr. for one year at reasonable interest upon such surety in England as the Fuggers had; and is ready to come to England with the jewels on receiving passport to carry them in and out duty free.

31 Oct.	700. Wharton to Henry VIII.
R. O. St. P., v. 556.	On 31 Oct., before day, received the Council's letters dated Windsor, the 27th., requiring him to consider (1) whether Carlaverok be tenable for as long as an army of Scots may lie before it, and (2) whether the Scots are likely to levy an army; concluding that if so, and there is no remedy, the King would deliver it to the Maxwells "according to the priest's device" upon their oath to keep it for him. Answers (1) that the house is tenable as long as furnished with ordnance, munition, men and victual; (2) that the Scots cannot levy such an army, and if they did, it could not continue there any time. The hold stands "in a great strength of creeks and moss and but one way to come to it"; and he will not deliver it "to any Scot in Scotland, Maxwell or other," save as the Council signify. Has received the letter herewith from Gamboa, showing that he can only furnish 50 or 60 horsemen; and, seeing his sorrow and gentle offer of more footmen, Wharton writes to him for 500 footmen besides the horsemen. Apologises for this boldness. Sundry here think the whole number appointed too little. Wrote to Gamboa by this post, and appointed guides to bring them to Carlisle next Thursday night. (fn. n6) An espial out of Scotland says that the Governor appointed a convention at Lithcoo on Friday, 30 Oct., with men to go with him to Carlaverok; Anguishe and George Dowgles had summons by letter, but would not be there, and intend to lie this winter at Pebles. Another espial is come from Carlaverok, who there saw a letter from the Governor delivered to Larde Johnston, with thanks for Johnston's service against the Englishmen and promise to be there himself on Tuesday next. The Governor may break that appointment as he has broken others. Has word from Thos. Carlton that he has not victual to serve over Wednesday night next, and this day appointed 100 horsemen to lie in Lord Dacre's tower of Roclif, and another 100 to lie upon Esk, intending, tomorrow, to pay them wages for seven days and, with such Englishmen and Scotsmen as he can get, to practise within three or four nights an enterprise for Carlton's relief. Divers Scotsmen much desire Lord Maxwell's coming down; and, as the case stands, it were convenient. Carlisle, last of October. Signed.

31 Oct.	702. Joan. Sleidanus to Paget.
R. O.	We write again to the King; and after writing I received your letter of the 28th inst., and much thank you for the trouble you take to come hither, which demonstrates your zeal for the public good. I advertised you that our companions would come on Wednesday last to Ardres (and afterwards they came to this town) to confer with my companion and me. (fn. n7) Which they did; and that the King may know what will be treated we send him our whole advice. For our companions affirm that the King of France has consented to the sequestration, as we declared when with you, and, as to the final peace, is ready to do much for the love of our Princes, but he means to have Boulogne restored to him for reasonable recompense. As you send me word that you will in a few days set out towards the passage, I advertise you of this in order that, if you think that the King would not consent thereto, you may await other news from the King; and I have begged my lord Cobbham that enquiry may be made for you by the way and this packet delivered to you at once. We declare this frankly, and hope that, because of it, the King will not leave off treating, since other means may offer; but if the King does countermand you I beg you to hold me as one that desires to do you service. Of the commissioners of the king of France I can affirm nothing, save that if your master send some great personage the Admiral of France might be there; as you will learn by our letter to the King, which you may read. I will send word in good time when those of France shall be either at Ardres or on the way thither. We have assigned the 11th or 12th of November for them to be at Ardres and you at Calais. Please send me a word in answer. Calais, Saturday, 31 Oct. 1545, in the morning.

R. O. St. P., x. 646.	Wrote on 18 Sept. Today received letters from the Council, of 28 Sept., with Henry's to this Signory, which he delivered, and requested restitution of the Sign or Ludovico de Larme and his gentlemen, banished. The Signory received the letters gratefully and promised to treat the matter in their senate and "make answer as expediently as they can." Has signified to the Countye Barnardo, Angiolo Marian and Philippo Pini to discharge their captains, and next year, if occasion be given, Henry will not refuse their service. Also advertised Angel Marian not to practise further with Signor Loigi Gonsaga and the Countye Rangon for this winter. Wrote in his last of the Hungarian who is gone in Henry's service to Constantinople. Expects letters from him shortly, for he seems diligent. By letters from Constantinople of 29 Sept., affairs of the ambassadors are protracted, and some say that the Turk refuses to compound with the Emperor unless Milan be rendered to the Frenchmen. Venetians affirm that the ambassadors shall depart re infecta. In Piedmont things proceed roughly, both parties "ingrossing" themselves. "It is also renewed that the Bishop is in further practices with the Emperor for more state, being named not only Sene and Luke but also Milan." Venice, last of October 1545.
