September 1528



21 Sept. R. O. Ellis, 3 Ser. II. 149.	4763. WARHAM to WOLSEY.
	Received today his letters, dated Oking, 18 Sept., bidding him receive the legate Campegius, and accompany him to Rochester. Was at Canterbury lately, intending to stay there most of the winter, but was obliged for his health's sake to remove. Fears that if he went thither now or in October, at which time he is usually troubled with his old disease in his head, he would not escape without extreme danger. In spite of all precautions he feels signs of it, and he fears that after the shaking in his horse litter he should not be able to do anything. Would be right glad to wait on the said Legate, but it would not be meet for him to go in a litter while the other rode on horseback, and he cannot now ride three miles on horseback. Asks therefore to be excused. Desires credence for his steward, whom he sends. Otforde, St. Mathies (Matthew's) Day. Signed.

22 Sept. R. O. St. P. IV. 513.	4764. NORTHUMBERLAND to WOLSEY.
	Sends a letter from Angus which was brought to him on the 21 Sept., with a credence, desiring Northumberland to mediate for him to the King, and stating that the king of Scots, who paid little regard to the letters of the King and Wolsey, intended to raise an army on the 29th, ostensibly against Angus, but probably against England, as the Earl was at Coldingham, within seven miles of Norham. Thinks no redress will be made on the Borders unless Angus be reinstated. Topclyf, 22 Sept. Signed.

	Confess themselves not learned enough to write even to bishops of the lowest class, but they write as he desired them to do in his letter, which they kissed, on account of his commendation of Dr. Fox and his promise of favor. In consequence of it, have elected Fox provost, and hope he will answer to the recommendations of the King and of the Cardinal. Beg him to listen to their complaints. Mention their foundation by Henry VI., and their endowment with ecclesiastical benefices as rewards for the deserving.

23 Sept. R. O. St. P. I. 326.	4766. FITZWILLIAM to WOLSEY.
	The King, hunting in this park, showed me he was advertised from you that the Legate (Campeggio) intends to be at Calais tomorrow. He will therefore be glad to be at your manor of Hampton Court on Saturday next. As I told him you could not conveniently remove by that day, he wished to be at your house on Saturday or Monday at the furthest, where he will spend three or four days before his repair to Greenwich. Guildford, Wednesday, 23 Sept. Signed.

	"[After my] most humble recommendati[ons, please it your Grace to unde]rstand that my lord Card[inal Campegius ever si]ns our departing from Paris h[as been very] sore troubled with the gout in both [hands and also] somewhat in his feet, and for all that [he has put himself] to as much pain as was possible. [Without tarrying] or sojourning any day, thanked be G[od, he has] arrived here in Moottrell, still carried [in a litter], for he cannot ride, his feet being n[ot able to] abide the sqwasse of the stirrup, ne h[is hands] to hold the bridle, as more plainly [Sir Francis Bryan] will inform your Grace, who hath ry[ght well done] his part here, I assure your Grace, in a[ssisting] diligently and conducting the said C[ardinal, as] in pro- viding him from time to time h[orses for] his carriages with all other manner of ... and was contented to depart from us t ... to advertise your Grace of his arrival, [and of the] estate and disposition he is in, and to p[rovide such things] as shall be necessary for his transport [from] Dover to London, as well a mule f[or the Cardinal], and horses for his company, as a hor[se litter in case the] gout shall continue, as it is likely [to do] ... for, as he saith, this is the ty[me during] the which he is accustomed [to be most troubled with]e that disease.

25 Sept. Cleop. F. VI. 343. B. M.	4772. TUNSTAL to [WOLSEY].
	Intended to have come to Wolsey today to inform him what he had done in his progress in the diocese of London, but will not do so, as a servant of his has fallen ill, it is feared, of the great sickness. Has summoned all the clergy of his diocese, and taken their oaths as to their substance and has taken the valuation of the benefices of men who are not resident in the diocese. Has deputed collectors in every deanery for levying the King's loan. In London, the collector has paid Mr. Wiat 450l., and is collecting the rest. In the country they are likewise busy, but many of them write that few of the priests can pay ready money till after Michaelmas, when they have thrashed and sold their tithe corn; and, as the loan touches every man, none will lend money. Has taken the substance of many persons and monasteries which were excepted by a bill in his first instructions. As to those of whom he discovered that the King's demand by his letters was under the fourth part, has put the residue of the said fourth part in the collector's books, to be levied by them. In the case of some monasteries, he does not know for what the King has written, for the bill of exceptions does not always mention the sum. The abbots of St. Osythes and Bylegh, and the lady abbess of Barkyng, have received no letters, though he knows that letters were ordered to be sent to them. They have given him bills, by which it appears that the fourth part of the lands of St. Osythes amounts to 150l.; of Barking, to 155l. 2s. 4d.; and of Bylegh, to 49l. 10s.
	Advises Wolsey to send letters to them for these sums, deducting what has been paid in accordance with former letters. Could not put these sums in the collector's books, not knowing for what the King had written. Will call upon the collectors to bring up the money as soon as levied. London, 25 Sept. Signed.

	The King is glad you liked your pastime of hunting as well as you did when you were with him, and devised that you shall come to him on Monday next, that you and he may have pastime together two or three days. He will receive the ambassador of Florence on Sunday next, but said nothing of his reward, and I durst not urge it. The King is favorable to Norris, as you will see by his letter. I have delivered your letter to Wolman, who will not fail to wait upon you. The King is favorable for the ordering of Hampton Court and Richmond. Oking, Friday. Signed.

25 Sept. Vesp. F. I. 81. B. M.	4774. JOHN KING OF HUNGARY to HENRY VIII.
	Was elected King after the death of king Lewis by all the peers except three, these having been corrupted by the promises of Ferdinand king of Bohemia, who has now invaded the country with great cruelty, aud refuses king John's offer to submit to the arbitration of the king of Poland or any other. He has forbidden all persons, on pain of death, to speak of the writer as King, or to pray for him. Though he promised to recover the castles taken by the Turks, he has lost those which remained, and among others Jaijcza, a seat of the kings of Bozna, and began to treat with the Turk for assistance against king John. Hearing of this, sent Jerome de Lasco, lord of Rythwan, palatine of Sirad, who negotiated a peace with the Turk, with promise of assistance. Defends his conduct.

	"The second article of Andreas Doria is now so far ... is without hope of recovery. The King told me ... Andreas asked nothing reasonable or unreyson[able, but he] granted it to him; and when the King ag[reed to all his] demands and desires, then finally he said h[e would not] serve him, and now is returned from Naples, [and has] laid his galleys in the haven of ... s e ... the town finding never a man to resist him ... water nor land. I said to the King ... it w[as great] negligence to leave such a town so ... without ... The King imputeth it to the treason of the said [Doria], the which compacted and consented with seni[or] de Threvolsis, that within 20 days that he sh[ould take] upon him to be Cæsarian, he would not attempt ... anything against the French king, and came in[to the town] with a white banner; wherefore Theodore de Tre[volsis had no] doubt in him; but when he entered into th[e town, he] cried Libertas, libertas, and Saynt George. T[revolsis went] into the castle, and shall shortly have eyd [from the count] de S. Pawll, and the King says that h ... galleys in the haven that he may surely fle[e] ... come to rescue. I asked of the King wher ... water to let Andreas Dorea to flee out of th[e haven] ... quyre. He answered me he trusted it was pro ... d it may be so, for it was told me in secre[t] ... m out of Cecilia seven gallies to Andreas Dorea to ... s commandment, and how he reputeth himself [ready for] sea with 19 galleys, and two that he took of the Fre[nch].
	"The third article, where in the King our master's name [I thanked] his Majesty for his honorable receiving and good [entertain]ment of the cardinal Campege. He said he did no[thing] but as he is bound in his loving brother's cause, and [as he] doubteth not but that his brother of England would [in like] case do for him. Farther, he told me that in recommend[ing the] King's cause to the said Cardinal, he marvelled greatly [when the] Cardinal told him that he would return home by [Spain]. Then the King said to him that the King his brother [was] a prince of such virtue, wisdom, and estimation tha[t he] would enterprise no matter but righteous and of good ... wherefore he thought that after the Cardinal had sp[oken unto] the King's highness, his mind would be changed ... going home by Spain, if his brother's cause took g[ood] effect, as he trusted it should.
	"To the fourth article, as concerning the duel, his Grace thynk[yth] that your Lordship shall be clearly and well satisfied, for my lord of Bath, the which was present at everything, bring[eth] to your Grace a copy authentical of everything that was spo[ken and] done therein.

Surely if there ha[d been a] good captain they would never a yielded them in th[at wise,] being 4,000 men. And all those that were in Nap[les with] those that persecuted them, were not 6,000 men. Se[d amisso] pastore facile disperguntur oves gregis. I beseech your [Grace to] keep these copies secret to yourself, that the ambassador [may] know not of them.

	"Please it your Grace, the 25th of this I wrote ... [lett]res, and this day the King sent for me. I found ... all the ambassadors of the League. When they went [away the King's] grace called me to him, and showed me a letter of [the count of St.] Paull's own hand, and caused it to be read ... [In it] was contained that the 19th of this present [month, by assault] and manly violence, Pavia was taken and th ... 2,500 Spaniards and Cæsarians and th ... defended.

26 Sept. Titus, B. I. 275. B. M. Ellis, 1 Ser. I. 185. Fiddes' Coll. p. 128.	4778. WILLIAM CAPON, Dean of Cardinal's College, Ipswich, to WOLSEY.
	On Sunday, 6 Sept., Master Stephyns, Dr. Lee and Mr. Crumwell came to Wolsey's college at Ipswich, and brought copes, vestments, plate, &c. as specified in a pair of indentures between Capon and Crumwell, of which each retains one part. The parcels are all engrossed in your Grace's book indented which remains with me. Mr. Stevens, Lee and Cromwell remained four days, and Cromwell was at great pains seeing Wolsey's stuff carried hither safely, and in preparing the hangings, benches, &c., for the hall, which is now well trimmed. On Our Lady's Even, Capon, with the company of the college, viz., the sub-dean, Mr. Ellis, six priests, eight clerks, nine choristers, and all their servants, after evensong in the College church, repaired to Our Lady's Chapel, and sang evensong there. They were accompanied by Stephens, Lee and Cromwell, by Mr. Humphrey Wingfield, to whose kindness they are much bound, the bailiffs of the town and portmen, and the prior of Christchurch. Next day, 8 Sept., it rained continually, so that they could not go in procession through the town to Our Lady's Chapel, but made as solemn a procession as they could in the College church. All the honorable gentlemen of the shire were present, as Mr. Wentford, Sir John Willoughby, Sir Philip Tylney, Mr. Bowth, Sir Thos. Tey, Mr. Benefylde, Mr. Pyrton, Mr. Jermeyn, and Mr. Humphrey Wingfield, besides the bailiffs and port-men, the priors of Christchurch and Butley, Dr. Grene, vicar of Aldborough, as commissaries to Wolsey, the bishop of Norwich and the duke of Norfolk's almoner, Mr. Hege. They all dined in the college.
	Your singing men are well chosen, but some of them who are very excellent say they got better wages where they came from. Fears that the commons allowed are not sufficient, for they can neither provide beefs nor muttons for want of pasture near. The Sub-dean and I, with Mr. Rushe, have viewed Bornebrige, but find it incapable of supporting fat cattle. As to the College church, one man is not sufficient to keep the revestry and the church clean, ring the bells, prepare the altar lights, &c. Has, therefore, put in another man, and named him sexton. There are but five priests under the sub-dean,—too few to keep three masses a day; and the sub-dean cannot attend, as he is required to survey the buildings. But for Mr. Lentall we could do nothing in our choir, he takes such pains at matins and masses. There shall be no better children in any place in England than we shall have here shortly.
	Has made fifteen albs of the new cloth, delivered by Mr. Alvard, Wolsey's servant; but there are fourteen more to be made, besides fourteen albs for fourteen tunicles, and twelve pair of odd "parrers" for children. Nine "books" (bucks) were sent to the College against the day of the Nativity of Our Lady, viz., two from the duke of Norfolk, two from the duke of Suffolk, one from my lady of Oxford, the younger, one from Sir Philip Bowth, one from Mr. Pyrton, and one each from Mr. Sentcler and Ric. Cavendish, Wolsey's servants, "which books were spent on our said Lady's Day in your Grace's college," and distributed, with money, to make merry withal to the chamberlains and head men of the town, the bailiffs and port-men's wives, and the curates. Mr. Rushe also gave them six couple of coneys, two pheasants, and one dozen quails, and the prior of Butley two pheasants and a fat crane.
	Have received of Mr. Dawndy 121 tons of Caen stone. Expect 100 tons more a fortnight after Michaelmas, so that the workmen may be well employed, and Mr. Dawndy has promised us 1,000 tons more before Easter next. From your Grace's college in Gipswiche, 26 Sept. Signed.

Wishes to know whether the charge is to be at the King or Wolsey's cost. The Legate cannot stay more than one night at Dovor, as it is infected with the sickness, and as the priory is in that quarter of the town, has appointed the bailiff's house for the reception of the Legate.

Some ascribe the delay to the Emperor's carelessness, others to the quantity of business, others think he waits for news from Italy. Was many days before he could tell whether there was any hope of success or not. Asked the Chancellor to procure his speedy dispatch, but could obtain nothing further from him, except that he had given his vote, and hoped the Emperor would reply in two days. Asked whether he should hope for or despair of peace, and he answered that Darius would know from the Emperor's words. Will either bring or send the answer as soon as he has it.

	Reminds him that he was appointed by the King last term to settle the differences that arose between himself and lord Dacres touching his office of warden of the West Marches. The term being adjourned in consequence of the sweating sickness, he received a summons for this next term; but, fearing that Dacres would ill treat the King's tenants in these parts, he procured a letter from the King to Dacres, commanding him not to interfere; (fn. 1) nevertheless, Dacres sends bailiffs, with from 10 to 400 persons, to cut down their corn, has imprisoned some of the tenants in the castle of Naward, and would show no authority for so doing. Would have been glad to defend the tenants, but it seemed to touch the honesty of himself and his brother Sir Thos. Clifford. Obtained letters from the duke of Richmond to Dacres, commanding him in the King's name to desist, but to no purpose. A sessions of peace was appointed by warrant addressed to Sir Edw. Musgrave, the sheriff, in the names of Sir Thos. Clifford, Sir Christ. Dacre, Sir John Lowther, and Geoffrey Lancaster, justices; but Dacres wrote to the sheriff, commanding him to repair to Naward castle for the King's affairs, so that he should be absent on the day appointed, and also kept the said Geoffrey, justice of the quorum and custos rotulorum of the county, at the said castle, as appears by Lancaster's letters to Sir Thos. Clifford, the bearer of this. Begs Wolsey not to give credit to evil reports against him. Will be with him at the beginning of next term. Carleton, 28 Sept. Signed.

	On the 27th arrived Herasmo, a servant of Andrea Doria, sent by the Emperor with the articles for his engagement, and he has now returned. The Pope tells him that he brought a confirmation of all Doria's demands, 20,000 cr., and provision for the payment of the fleet for six months. Mentions the arrangements with the merchants for money. The bishop of Legia, who was sent to Spain by the Pope, writes that he will return in two days, bringing the liberation of the cardinals, and the restitution of Civita Vecchia and Ostia. The general, who was declared cardinal by the Consistory, had arrived two days before the departure of Herasmo, but is detained by illness. He said that 1,500 foot were provided for Genoa at his departure. John Joachim has letters from Savona, of the 21st and 24th, stating that count Philippo had desired to hold a parley with six men of the town, but the governor had forbidden any to go, and he retired. The citadel was taken, as his brother has heard. Renzo has 3,000 cr. to levy infantry. Visconte has obtained from the Florentines 10,000 cr., and asked them to send the promised 2,000 infantry.

	Is greatly pleased that his services have given satisfaction. Has both written and sent to the prior of Spalding by his chancellor and by another Doctor his chaplain, for the waters in the Fens are now great and dangerous, but cannot get him to resign. He says he will die prior. He is himself very good and gentle, but is led by others. Encloses his answer in writing, which he would have sent ere this, but has been occupied in the view of these enclosures under the King's commission. Goes tomorrow to Northampton, and the week after to Leicestershire and Rutland. My lord Brudenell and Sir Wm. Fitzwilliam have taken great labors therein with great goodwill. Must ask further time. Many things will yet come to light. There was never thing done in England more for the common weal than to redress these enormous decays of towns and making of enclosures; "for if your Grace did at the eyes see as I have now seen, your heart would mourn to see the towns, villages, hamlets, manor places, in ruin and decay, the people gone, the ploughs laid down, the living of many honest husbandmen in one man's hand, the breed of mannery (fn. 2) by this means suppressed, few people there stirring, the commons in many places taken away from the poor people, whereby they are compelled to forsake their houses, and so wearied out and wot not where to live, and so maketh their lamentation." Never saw people so glad as they are now, hoping the King and Wolsey will see reformation made. They pray for the King and your Grace everywhere. Ludington, 30 Sept.

	While the earl of Ossory and his son attend Wolsey's pleasure and deliberation in Irish affairs, "others run in at the window the next way, making immediate pursuits to the King's highness," by means of Antony Knevet, by which Ireland will be ruined. The archbishop of Cashel is making suit by subtle means for grants tending to the establishment of the earl of Desmond and the ruin of Ossory and his son. Hears the Archbishop has a bill signed by the King for all the premises, directed to the chancellor of Ireland, thinking to gain his suits without Wolsey's knowledge. He and his chaplain have fraudulently obtained the King's letters to the Council against Ossory, in favor of Sir Jas. Butler, Desmond's greatest friend, who, with the Archbishop's aid, by the seditious practice of the man Wolsey knows, have caused so much disorder in Ossory's country that he cannot serve against Desmond, or even defend himself. Gerald Aylmer, menial servant to Kildare, is appointed Secondary Justice of the Common Pleas, and has a bill signed to the Chancellor. Anthony Knevet has obtained the bishopric of Kildare for "a simple Irish priest, a vagabond, without learning, manners, or good quality, not worthy to be a holy water clerk," and hears the King will pay for his bulls. Those who have done the King service are much surprised. Wolsey might send a commission to the bishop of London, More, Masters Dean and Secretary, to call the Archbishop and his chaplain, Gerald Aylmer and the Irish priest, before them to examine their warrants, &c.; and might also order Sir John Russell, Dr. Bell, and others, who promote letters to the King's signet, to pass no Irish matters till Wolsey has seen them. Wishes to know his pleasure concerning the earl of Ossory's causes and his son's, and who is to be the Deputy. Hopes he will remember his old servant James. One Bathe of Ireland has lately made a book for Wolsey, "feigning it to be for the reformation of Ireland, but the effect is but to drive the King to the extremity to send home my lord of Kildare with authority, to accomplish his inordinate affection to my lord of Kildare. He hath no more experience of the land than I have in Italy; and if he were a little touched for his presumption in repugning at the King's pleasure, and provoking to be done that which should sound to his dishonor, it would make others fear to attempt such matters."
