Miscellaneous, 1562



1562.	766. George Kemp to Challoner.
	Thanks him because, at taking leave of "their honors," he had taken another way contrary to the expectation of the writer and the gentlewomen who had made themselves ready for the same. Thanks also for that Challoner, "at my Lady's request," had accepted the tuition of the suit of the writer's brother, whereof the writer has proffered Challoner's man, Garcia, because he is best acquainted with the party, Garnica, chief secretary of Erasso, who willed to have both the bills brought to him, and he would make out a warrant to receive the two years' wages. Has already declared to Garnica that Challoner had the doing of it. Don Antonio De Toledo has promised to help. Challoner will bind the writer's brother perpetually.—"Hogadon, this present day, 1562." Signed.

The Lord and President De [blank] has declared that during his mission to Rome the Pope told him that he had not invented the annates or other exactions which they wanted to put on the Church, and that he would give them up if the elections were conceded, and the King would give up his right of presentation. Also, if he went to the Council he would go as simple Bishop of Rome; and would be the first to consent to the reformation of superfluities in the Church, and would admonish the other dignitaries to do the like.

	2. The writer having two sons, Robert and Francis (to whom he intends to intail his lands), asks leave to appoint Cecil as their guardian, and as such will give him 100l. per annum of the said lands, 20l. thereof yearly for keeping his son Robert, twenty marks yearly for Francis, and 100 marks to Cecil for his own use until 1,000l. be thus paid.

[1562.]	773. The Marshal of Berwick.
	1. Sir George Bowes, late Marshal of Berwick, was allowed for himself and his twenty-four horsemen 330l. 8s. 0d.; for leading 100 footman, 4s. per day; for leading fifty horsemen 4s. per day; for four dead pays 4s. per day, making 207l. 16s. 0d., total 538l. 4s. 0d.
	2. The present Marshal, Sir Thomas Dacre, has but 260l. for the entertainment of himself and his twenty-four horsemen, which is insufficient.
	3. He therefore having requested that he may have the leading of 100 footmen serving at Berwick, as the last Marshal had, the Lords of the Council think it unmeet to grant his request for the following reasons.
	4. That the Marshal (having charge of horsemen) cannot in time of service attend to the footmen.
	5. Because in the time of the last Marshal there were 2,000 men at Berwick, and but 1,000 now.
	6. That by appointing 100 footmen to be lead by him, the Queen will want a captain for the same.
	7. Three arguments "to maintain that it is not unmeet [for] the Marshal to have charge of footmen."
