18 April. R. O.	746. CHAS. EARL OF WORCESTER to WOLSEY.
	The marshal Chatillon insists on the second meeting being held on neutral ground, "a little mile" from Arde, and wishes the camp to be held there, as Worcester has already written to the King. There is no other neutral ground between Guynes and Arde, unless it be taken two or three miles out of the highway between them. He is content to do half the fortifications, scaffolds, and tilts, at his master's charge, according to the "platt" which Worcester showed him, except the two small ditches which he has already mentioned to Henry. He will assist them with workmen and pioneers and timber, but fears the scaffolds cannot all be finished by the appointed day. Those for the Queen's ladies and lords shall be first done, and the rest can be finished in the evenings after the feats of arms are over. He said it was impossible to make houses at each end of the field where the jousts are, in time, and sufficient stuff could not be obtained, and that he thought pavilions and tents more suitable. Told him they would be but small houses of wainscot, such as are used in princes' camps in time of war; at which he said such houses were good, and he would speak to his master. Touching victual, he said, before Vaux, Sandes and Belknap, that there would be no lack either for horses or men, and he had already ordered wine, flesh, and horsemeat to be provided at Merguyson, where a staple would be made, and the King's subjects could buy what they wanted. Will write again after their next meeting. Calais, 18 April. Signed.

18 April. Dyce's Skelton, I. p. XXXIV.	747. SIR JOHN PEACHY and others to WOLSEY.
	Have received the King's letters, dated Greenwich, 10 April, commanding them to provide victuals and horses against the coming of his grace and his nobles. Have been sore destitute many years past, owing to a murrain among the cattle, and because the King's takers "lying about the borders of the sea coast next adjoining unto us have taken and made provision thereof contrary to the old ordinance, so that we be utterly destitute by reason of the same." The butchers in the town have not beef and mutton for the ordinary retinue for three weeks at most; nor is there fuel for one whole week. Pray that the victuallers of Calais may repair with their ships, from time to time, to make purveyance of provision and fuel for Calais, without interruption from the King's officers. Calais, 18 April. Signed: John Peache, Wm. Sandys, Edw. Guldeford, Rob. Wotton, Cryst. Garneys.

18 April. R. O. St. Pap. VI. 57.	748. SIR RICHARD WINGFIELD to HENRY VIII.
	Wrote on the 9th. The King has been engaged in hunting. He returned to Blois on Saturday, and was visited by Wingfield on Monday. He told the latter that he had heard of the dispatch of ambassadors to Flanders from England, but was confident it would not impair their amity. Wingfield explained. Francis then talked of a new great ship, "which is now amaking, of the greatness of your grace's, and reasoneth in this mystery of shipman's craft as one which had understanding in the same. But, sir, he approacheth not your highness in that science." Gives a description of the boar hunting in France, and compares their mode of hunting and hawking with that practised in England. Clarencieux is arrived, and has been presented to the King, "being coifed and in his nightgown." He ordained the publication of the challenge tomorrow at three o'clock. Everybody is highly pleased. He then talked to Wingfield of the Order of the Garter; and the latter thinks he would be glad to have it. He has heard of the interview between Henry and Charles, to take place after that between himself and the King. Gives an account of the publication. This morning the King left, and the ladies have gone to Paris. Wingfield is very favorably entertained, especially by the gentlemen of the Privy Chamber, of whom is Mons. Rochepotte, brother to Montmorency. Blois, 18 April. Signed.

18 April. Calig. D. VII. 210. B. M. Ellis, 1 Ser. I. 166.	749. [SIR RICHARD WINGFIELD to WOLSEY.]
	Since Clarencieux's arrival with the King's writings for the publication of the challenge, which was done yesterday, the court is in better hope of the interview. The delivery of the King's letters by his grace to Marrenesse in the presence of the ambassador of Flanders has at last recompensed the long witholding of them. This day the King removes towards Paris. He wishes to know if the King his brother will forbear making rich tents and pavilions: "and looketh daily to receive fro him as well his measure for the making of the cuirass as also to receive the vauntbrasse and gauntlet." Blois, 18 April.

18 April. Calig. D. VII. 218. B. M.	750. SIR NICHOLAS VAUX to [WOLSEY].
	[Lilgrave] puts them in hopes by his letters [of procuring] out of Holland such timber, board and glass as he was commissioned to do. They will be able to finish the square court at Guisnes by the last day of May, provided John Rastell, Clement Urmeston, and John Browne, the King's painter, "do make and garnish all the roses,—a marvellous great charge, for the roses be large and stately." They cannot finish them till they get more money. Here is none but crowns, "and they be not valued at so much in London as they go for h[ere]." Wishes Sir John Heron to take a declaration from them how the money has been employed. It appears by Urmeston's bill that the roses will amount to a large sum. Begs that Wolsey will call them before him, and do what is expedient to finish the work, "that the King be not disappointed of his roses." The duke of Suffolk has many batons of Urmeston's making, and "divers of the King's arms and beasts cast in moulds which now would do great ease and furtherance to the King's business." Begs he will get the Duke to lend them. Requests him to command Hopton to deliver to Henry Comptroller "all such cables, ropes, and cords" as he can spare. The French King [is making great preparations for] "this triumph at Arde, and hath ta ... four houses of the town, and a great piece of the ... abbey there called Anderne, and intendeth to make great ... wherein much of his pastimes shall be showed, as the mast[er of the] works there did report." Timber is being provided at Rouen... "the same tilt, counter, lists, stages, and barriers that were ... set up in Paris." The bearer will inform Wolsey as to the meeting of my lord Chamberlain with Chatillon for viewing the ground. Guysnes, 18 [April]. Signed.

19 April. R. O.	751. WILLIAM [WARHAM] ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY to WOLSEY.
	Notwithstanding that Wolsey stopped a suit brought against him by one Myles in the Common Pleas, on the ground that a Chancellor for the time being ought not to be sued in that court, "for then the Common Pleas should have superiority upon the Chancellor," and had forbidden the officers of the Chancery to make out writs in that behalf, a new writ has been issued by Paul Coke, a cursitory in the Chancery, and received in the Common Pleas by Thos. Bonam, keeper of the writs there. Betson, Mydlemore and Anthony Lowe were solicitors for the writ, Myles himself being a prisoner at Westminster. "Had never pennyworth" of the goods Myles speaks of. Knoll, 19 April. Signed.

20 April. R. O. St. Pap. VI. 61.	752. SIR RICHARD WINGFIELD to HENRY VIII.
	Wrote on the 18th, and before leaving Blois visited the Dauphin, "to whose chamber I was conveyed by the seigneurs de Lescue and Suffoke, where we found him in his bed." "He was marvellously well disposed to be joyous as ever I saw child; and among other things took a marvellous pleasure in young Kyngston, whom, after he had seen once, he called him beau fils, whom he would sometime have kneel down, and sometime stand up. In effect, sir, I have not seen any child take a greater phantasy to no creature than he did to the said Kyngston. I saw him out of all his clouts. I assure your highness it is as fair a babe as can be, and as large for his age." Dined with the Legate's brother. The Admiral thinks that the King will be at Montpypeawe or Chasteauneuf on St. George's day; and then spoke to him of the Garter, and thought that an interchange of Orders would not be difficult. He concluded by saying: "Monsr. l'ambassadeur, I would I could report to you the semblable words which the King my master hath devised to speak to the King his good brother at their meeting, which I promise you, on mine honor, be of such efficacy that if your master could have appetite a mordre mon maistre, aiant entendue lesdictes parolles, il le logeroit dedens son cueur, sil estoit possible." Bogeansye, 20 April.

22 April. R. O.	756. CARDINAL CAMPEGGIO to WOLSEY.
	Went yesterday with Worcester to the Pope with Wolsey's letters about the archbishop of Canterbury. He is now away from the city, and has entrusted the affair to the cardinal Sanctorum Quatuor. Was told some days ago that the Pope was going to send a nuncio, but said nothing of it, as he did not hear it on good authority, and could ascertain neither the person nor the time. Now that the meeting of the two Kings is reported as certain, though the Pope does not mention the nuncio, it is generally believed that Petrus de Pazzis, a Florentine nobleman, related to the Pope, and a layman of mature age, will be sent. Is sending his secretary to England. Rome, 22 April 1520. Signed.

26 April. Calig. D. VII. 212. B. M.	764. [The EARL OF WORCESTER] to HENRY VIII.
	This morning Mons. de Bastye came from Chastillyon at Arde, and complained to him that it was said for truth that Henry would wait to see the king of Castile before speaking with Francis. Worcester replied that he knew of no promise made to that effect, but if the elect Emperor did land in England, Henry could not but receive him as honorably as Henry VII. did his father, and that Henry was determined to keep the day of meeting with Francis. De Bastye then inquired if he had heard Henry's pleasure as to the place for the second meeting and for the camp, which it was desirable to settle immediately. "And also that the sa[me lord Chastill]on hath had plain [instructions from the] King his master that ... the second meeting an ... according to the order and appointment th[at my] lord Cardinal had made and send to his [said] master" under his own hand and seal; it was "to be indifferent be[tween] Arde and Guisnes," not elsewhere. Worcester replied that it should be so if any such ground could be found midway between Arde and Guisnes, or else in some place not more distant from the said place for the second meeting or camp and Arde, than between Guisnes and the foresaid places. Promised, if it were agreeable to Henry, to go and speak with Chastillon at Guisnes, and meanwhile to get ready timber and materials for the camp. After dinner La Bastie expressed a desire, "for the love he beareth to the King's grace," to tell him one thing, which he feared might be an obstacle to the interview, though he swore, "as he was a true gentleman," he was never commissioned to mention it. He said that if the King had, as it was noised through all Flanders, arranged a prior meeting with the King of Castile, it was contrary to the promise made by my lord Cardinal in the King's name; "tha[t] my said lord Cardinal showed him that y[our] grace had knowledge that there was [some] communication for interview betwixt the [King] his master and the king of Castile; [and] that my Lady, his master's mother, and [my lord] Chyevres, had appointed to ... for the conclusion thereof ... King his master ... met with him, whereupo[n] ... bade him write to the King his ma[ster, if] he will promise not to speak or meet [with the] said king of Castile till your grace and h[e] been togethers, he woll do the same, or else th[at his] grace could not;" that Francis had accordingly consented to the Cardinal's desire; and that if Francis had seen the king of Castile before meeting with Henry, he thought the latter would have been displeased, and the meeting broken off. Worcester replied that he had heard nothing of any such promises, but if they had been made he ... Has written divers letters, which have not been answered. Desires to know the King's mind, as Chastillyon calls upon him every day. Calais, 26 April.

26 April. R. O.	765. EARL OF WORCESTER to WOLSEY.
	Wrote on the 17th inst. touching my meeting with Chastillyon between Guisnes and Ardre to view and order the camp, when we could not agree unless I had acted contrary to my instructions; and again on the 18th and the 23rd on the same subject; to all which I have had no answer. Enclose a letter received today from Chatillon, which I cannot answer until I hear from the King or you. We have not yet agreed about the place, and he thinks I am dissembling with him. Wish therefore to know the King's pleasure as soon as possible. There are 1,000 pioneers at Arde, ready to set to work at the camp, but nothing can be done until I hear from the King and you. Lord Bastye came to me suddenly this morning, and brought word that Chatillon thinks I am very long in answering him, and concluding where the second meeting and the camp shall be. His post is come, "and hath answer to do therein as your grace hath appointed by your writing," of which he has a copy. He says that our charge will soon be performed, if I have power to act according to it; but he thinks it will be impossible to "perform all our plate by the day appointed" if I tarry long.
	La Bastye has showed me many other matters concerning the meeting with the Emperor, which I have written to the King. A letter must be sent to Sandes, Vaux and Belknap, to command purveyors to provide timber, brick and carpenters. They are loath to meddle with it, saying they have no charge from the King, and I have none as yet. Calais, 26 April. Signed.

Expects to see Erasmus at the interview, and thinks that as Brixius is secretary to the French queen he will be present also. 1520.

	The enclosed writings came today. The great personage in trouble, as the bearer reports, is the abbot of De la Voult, near St. James's Hospital at Paris. It is for some words he spoke, "which were uttered to the French king by Englishmen, as he saith." He is guarded in his own house. "Also where he ever writeth to have reward as hath been promised him, the promise hath not been made by me, nor in my time." Only at this present time I told the bearer that if his master could find out the intent of the Frenchmen, and send me news every twelve or fourteen days, instead of every month or two months, I would ask you to procure him a reward. Sends a bill of news collected by the spies. They are out again to do the best they can. Calais, 28 April. Signed.

He shall inform them of Charles's state of preparation for departure; that he is only waiting for a favorable wind, in order that they may certify the king of England that if things are favorable Charles will land at the day and place agreed on, or at least soon after; and the ambassadors shall make all possible instance that, if he be detained, the King may wait for him. 2. He shall say that there is no need for Charles to send the vessels of war on the 3d of May as arranged, because he intends, if he has a good wind, to be at sea with his army by that time; but the ambassadors shall request the king of England to bring out of the port of Hampton into the Spanish sea the five vessels of war that he is to set forth, promising that Charles's army shall be equally at his disposal.

	"... as the said princes be of [great coura]ges, activity and valiantness, (fn. 4) by reason whereof they ... at the said interview to do and execute feats of arms and make challenges against all comers ... is therefore to me thought convenient that in case the said princes shall mind so to do, [and] that the French king can be agreable to come to Guysnesse, Calais, or to Saint Peter's within the King's pale with his Queen and ladies, there to sojourn with the King my master" for 5 or 6 days, a place may be prepared there for the said feats of arms. In like manner the King his master may, with his Queen and ladies and nobles, go to Arde to stay with the French king for a similar purpose; or else "after acquaintance and thorough intelligence had betwixt the [pri]nces, a covena[ble pl]ace between Gwynes [and] Arde may be [app]ointed by mutual [con]sent, where the [said] feats may be [exec]uted." It will be expedient, for the safety of the princes and visitors, to have the place encamped and fortified; the king of England to resort to Guysnes, and the king of France to Arde daily, after the triumphs are over; and from time to time "the one prince to banquet and take pastime of pleasure with the other."
