19 Dec. Add. MS. 28,582, f. 51. B. M.	6767. PEDRO DE LA CUEVA to CHARLES V.
	* * * Last week the Pope gave us an alarm by proposing in Consistory two things which the king of England had asked him; and, as we are informed by some cardinals, he advocated them so warmly (tan caldamente los propuso) that it is expected they will be carried. We spoke to the Pope about it, who said he did it only "por cumplimiento," but we might be sure of the effect. However, card. de Osma advises that some cardinals be spoken to in the Emperor's interest. Another Consistory has passed, and nothing has been said about it; and the Pope says he has told the English ambassadors he perceived the cardinals "no tenian el buen recaudo de votos que serian menester a la ora ello esta sin hacerse, aunque para el banquete tenia todo el adereço este bellaco del auditor preparado no se adelante Señor lo que sera que yo poca confiança tengo de la verdad Romana. Sospecha he tenido que su S^d quiso mañear con estos para alguna defensa de los nuestros pero esto se le echo por de fuera en la bula de Adriano hable por parecer del embaxador a su St. y algunos cardenales, la qual se despacho con las condiciones y de la manera quel envaxador escrivira a V. M^d digo en lo de Zizilia quen lo de España no ba ninguno." * * * Rome, 19 Dec. (Endd.: Nov.)

	Received his letter at Fontainebleau, 9 Dec., by Valois herald, with letters to the King, which he sent on by a servant. No news, but that the King and Queen are hunting with the nobles. The Queen does not make her entry till Candlemas, at which shall be great triumph. She has five or six young ladies of Spain waiting on her,—handsome, and gorgeous in their apparel. Commendations to Carne, Master Gregory, and Master Paul. Will write shortly to the duke of Albany. The King wished us to communicate in cipher, and that you should inform me if you hear anything about a General Council. Hears that the Pope has committed the whole ordering of the King's great cause to the French king.
	Since writing, received at Fontainebleau, on the 13th, Benet's letter, dated Rome, 30 Nov., with letters to the King from Albany, Worcester, and Benet, others to Tuke, and one from Albany to Norfolk, which he sent by the next sure messenger. Received also one from the Duke to himself, "which here I recompense." Paris, 20 Dec.

	"The bull of Pope Adrian has been confirmed.
	"In the last Consistory of Cardinals much was said in the Emperor's praise. A proposal was made, in the name of the queen of England, that an order be sent to the King, her husband, not to marry any other woman whilst her divorce case was before the court of the Rota, and not to cause scandal by his intimate intercourse with his lady friend. It was further proposed that the Pope should prohibit all judges who are dependent on him from taking cognizance of this law suit. The decision was postponed until the next Consistory in order to give time to the Cardinals well to consider their votes.
	"The ambassador of England has taken much pains to persuade the Pope and the Cardinals to create the Auditor de la Camera cardinal in this Consistory. It seemed that the demand would not be denied. The Imperial ambassadors, however, opposed the English ambassador with so much adroitness that the Auditor de la Camera was not made a cardinal. Hopes they will in future also succeed in preventing the creation of that bad man, who tries to divorce the queen of England.

23 Dec. Add. MS. 28,582, f. 181. B. M.	6772. SECRET CONSISTORY OF CARDINALS.
	"On Friday, 23 Dec., a Secret Consistory was held in the Apostolic Palace at Rome, in the usual room, in which Consistory was debated and concluded what follows, viz.:—
	"My lord the most reverend cardinal Cibo read the letter of the most serene king of England, directed to his Holiness, and dated the 7th of the current month of December. The king of England complains in this letter very much that it has been impossible for him to obtain from the Pope an order that his matrimonial cause be proceeded with out of Rome. Adducing many new reasons, he begged that it be decided in England. (fn. 1) Nothing was concluded on this subject, and no votes were taken, the Pope declaring that this business ought to be ripely discussed, and treated with the greatest consideration in future Consistories.
	"The Pope ordered then that the Cardinals should give their votes on the report made by the reverend Paulus de Capisuccis, in the Consistory of the 14th of the same month, concerning the matrimonial cause which was pending between the king and queen of England. The procurators of the Queen had asked that the Pope should forbid the archbishop of Canterbury, by a special brief, to take cognizance of this lawsuit, in case he should be applied to, as it had been reserved for the decision of the Sacred College of Cardinals. The procurators of the queen of England had likewise asked that the Pope should repeat and confirm in a brief all the inhibitions which the auditors of the Rota, to whom this cause was entrusted, had directed to all prelates of England. The same procurators had further petitioned that the Pope should forbid the king of England, whilst the lawsuit was pending, either to cohabit with any other woman, and especially a certain lady Anne, or to contract marriage; and in case that such a marriage should be contracted, to declare it null and void. Lastly, the same procurators had prayed that the Pope should forbid the said lady Anne, and all women in general, to contract, lite pendente, marriage with the king of England. After long deliberations it was concluded that all the afore-mentioned petitions were justifiable in law, and that the briefs should be granted.

25 Dec. Add. MS. 28,579, f. 289. B. M.	6774. LUIGI ALAMANI to [the REPUBLIC OF FLORENCE].
	* * * "The consul in Lyons states that he has had letters from the consul in England, Francesco Bardi, who informs him that the Florentine merchants (in England) have collected money. As they are few and not rich, they have collected only 1,060 scudi, which sum they have sent to Lyons to the hands of the consul. The money is expected soon to arrive. Will do the same with it as he has done with the 4,000 scudi.
	"What is more important is this:—
	"Francesco Bardi has had a long conversation with the king of England about the affairs of Florence. The King has heard all he has told him with so much interest and so much pleasure as though he were himself a Florentine. He has much praised the courage of Florence, and spoken very disparagingly of the Pope and the Emperor, showing great enmity to the one and the other. Nor is it to be wondered at; for the King had sent the father of the dame, to use the exact words of Francesco de Bardi, to speak with the Pope about the divorce, which had been positively promised, but he got such an answer that the envoy immediately returned to England. It is impossible to say how discontented `they' are; in fact, so much that nothing else is thought of in that island every day, except of arranging affairs in such a way that they do no longer be in want of the Pope, neither for filling vacancies in the Church, nor for any other purpose. All this is treated in the letter of Francesco Bardi at great length.
	"He writes, moreover, that, speaking to the King about the great hardship to which `our poor city' is exposed, the King said that if he did not wish so much that the king of France should have back his sons, he would not mind any other thing in the world, but show favor by real deeds to `our' just cause, and oppose such iniquitous princes as the two (Pope and Emperor) are. As soon as the sons of the king of France are delivered to their father, he will be well prepared to show his real intentions. The consul adds, that if Florence could send bonds for a sum of 40,000 or 50,000 ducats, he thinks he could get so much money, and perhaps more. Thinks that the sons of the king of France would be sooner delivered if some person were sent secretly, for if it is known that Florence has ambassadors in `that' country (England ?), the affair will not be arranged, or at least delayed.
	"Has thought it his duty to communicate to them without delay the news from Lyons and from England. If they cannot send a secret envoy from Florence, he is ready to do all in his power to procure the money in the above-mentioned manner. Begs them not to think him too presuming. * * * Begs to send him immediately an answer, especially with respect to what he has said about England.

Add. MS. 28,582, f. 275. B. M.	6780. THE DIVORCE.
	A paper headed "Micer May," apparently extracts from his letters. In the matter of the queen of England the brief has been obtained that the King should not marry while the suit is pending. It has been secretly affixed to the Chancery in St. Peter's and St. Petronius, and sent to Madame to be published there. Suggests that a copy should be sent to the Queen and the [Spanish] ambassador of England, and that the Emperor should write for information of the act to be sent hither, that the lawyers in Rome may have an opportunity of studying it in the event of any proceedings being taken.
	ii. From a letter accompanying the preceding.
	* * * The Pope told me further, in the matter of England, that he understood that the father of the lady, and her party, have repented of the proposition they made in writing, and are content to follow the ordinary course of justice. Thinks, as they are wavering, that the Emperor should give them fair words as usual.
