September 1539



26 Sept. Vit. C. XVI. 279. B. M	221. HENRY VIII. to WILLIAM DUKE OF JULIERS, GUELDRES, and CLEVES.
	Received, on 17 Sept., his letters dated Dusseldorp, 4 Sept. Thanks him for the goodwill he shows for concluding the alliance between them, of which his ambassadors and those of the duke of Saxony have spoken. Suggests speed in concluding the matter, as winter is approaching. Sends the bearer, a sea captain, to learn the best port to which to send ships for the conveyance of the lady. Desires credence for his ambassador. (fn. 1) Windsor, 26 Sept. MDXXIX. (sic). Not signed.

26 Sept. R. O. Kaulek, 130	222. MARILLAC to FRANCIS I.
	26 Sept.:—Wrote on the 15th of the coming of duke Frederic, count Palatine. He afterwards arrived in London with a very small company of his own, and still fewer of this King's men. There having sojourned some days, he was very honorably conducted to the King at Hoynzort (Windsor). The King and Court have since come to Hampton Court. Two days ago ambassadors arrived there from the duke of Cleves to treat for a marriage between this King and the Duke's sister, if this affair is not prevented by duke Frederic, who seeks it (qui procure (fn. 2) le faire) for his sister-in-law, the duchess of Milan.
	Ambassadors have also arrived here from Nuremberg and the duke of Saxony, to confirm alliances with this King, who tries all possible ways to make friends; as will be better known shortly, for as yet they have only had one audience and concluded nothing.
	This King is in very good health, being as active and joyous as his ministers ever saw him. He asks often for news of Francis, of his health, and of his children, and continues to speak very graciously and very amicably. Hampton Court.

[26 Sept.] R. O. Kaulek, 131	223. MARILLAC to MONTMORENCY.
	[Hampton Court, 26 Sept.]:—Wrote on the 15th of the preparations here for the reception of duke Frederic, brother of the elector Palatine, which afterwards cooled so much that Mr. Chene and others, who went from this Court to meet him, were countermanded, and he arrived in London, on the 17th, without any company but his own servants, some 10 or 12, and those of the deputy of Calais, and was received at his lodging only by his host, who is a merchant. It is true that next day Cromwell who came, as usual, to feel what he could of the Duke's intention, in order to inform the King and to give him time to prepare an answer, feasted the said Duke in his house, having gone to seek him in his lodging with a very fine troop of horse. The same day he was shown the Tower of London and its contents, as they are accustomed to do to foreign gentlemen whom they wish to caress.
	Afterwards the said Duke went with the lord Admiral to the King at Hoinzort, to show, as several affirm, his charge on the part of the Emperor, which he kept so secret that he would communicate none of it to Cromwell before speaking to the King, although Cromwell has principal management of all the affairs of this realm, nor to the Emperor's ambassador, who seems scarcely pleased at not having been with him except two or three hours in London. Marillac also paid him a duty visit, but held only a general conversation; although at the outset he said he was come to demand aid against the king of Denmark who detains in prison his father-in-law, whom he calls the king Christian; and probably under this pretext he will negotiate whatever he has come about. Doubted the truth of this from the way he spoke and, to show no curiosity in his affairs, Marillac offered his services and shortly took leave of him.
	Arrival of ambassadors from Cleves, Nurenberg, and Saxony (as in the letter to Francis 1.). Probably duke Frederic, who appears a true servant of the Emperor, will try to break off this alliance with Cleves, in order that the duke of Cleves may not strengthen himself with English money to resist the Emperor's designs against him, through Gueldres, where he has proceeded so far, and will put forward urgently the marriage of the duchess of Milan. The whole to get money if possible; but such is the nature of this nation that he will get no pecuniary assistance except by compulsion.
	In London certain Spanish and Genoese merchants daily sow the most foolish news, that the King (Francis) and the Emperor are about to recommence the war more fiercely than ever. Replies to those who ask about it, especially to the Emperor's ambassador, that the amity of the King and Emperor is increasing daily and such forgers of news are not to be believed. They gave out also that Francis made the musters of his gendarmerie to make an attempt upon Flanders, citing the arrest of grain in Picardy as no sign of true amity. Similarly, on the side of Italy, they allege the secret intelligence of the King (Francis) with the Venetians and the Turk; also that the duke of Savoy has made a new attempt upon some place held by Francis in Piedmont and slaughtered the garrison. Asks for some word to confute these and reassure the said ambassador, who seems to have some belief in them.

	The letter dated Rome, 26 Sept. 1539, in the collection of Epistolœ Principum (Vol. XIII., p. 162), is really of the year 1538 and is so headed.
27 Sept. R. O.	228. JOHN HUSEE to LADY LISLE.
	I received your letter by Ravon, and am sorry the letter I wrote at Canterbury was so slenderly written that the word sables could not be understood. It was owing to haste. I hear no news of the lanard at Mr. Tywck's, and Mr. Polstede says Mr. Bassett shall have his lanard, but he has not delivered it. My Lord is merry. The King welcomed and entertained him lovingly. Will keep his Lordship in remembrance to be in earnest in speaking to the King for his own affairs, though he says he forgetteth it not. I hear that old Justes of Dover has been sore hurt by Patche of Sandwich. I am sorry, for he is an honest man and loves you and yours. The count Palatine received a good welcome and has been highly feasted. London, 27 Sept.
	Hol., p. 1. Add.: At Calais.
27 Sept. R. O.	229. SIR JOHN NEVYELL to CROMWELL.
	Asks for a letter to Sir Brian Tuke to withdraw his action against him until Cromwell sees a convenient time with the King. The King has commanded him to remind Cromwell of the suppression of Gysseburgh. Asks for a commission for the suppression and a letter for the preferment of the goods, moveable and immoveable, that he may be more able to maintain the farm. Leyceter, 27 Sept. Signed.
	P. 1. Add.: Lord Privy Seal. Endd.
27 Sept. R. O.	230. LADY LISLE to LORD LISLE.
	In consequence of the weather being so boisterous we have had no passage hence these seven days, when I wrote my letters and sent them by this bearer My lord Chamberlain has been waiting all this time to cross, and certain rench gentlemen. Mr. Bekkensale is here, sent for by my lord Privy Seal, also Larke, waiting on my lord Chamberlain. I am afraid I shall not have anyone so fit to write my letters. Calais, 27 Sept. Signed.
	I beg you, be good lord to the Prior, (fn. 3) who comes over with my lord Chamberlain. "Hanse which was drum here is departed." Begs his favor for Thos. Donyngcurte to have the same place.

28 Sept. R. O.	231. SIR CHR. HALES to CROMWELL.
	Your servant, my cousin, John Bryganden, has desired me to write in his favour. He wishes to buy the customership of Sandwich, and for that would sell 14l. or 15l. worth a year of his land, which he cannot do without your leave because of his bond to you. I have informed him of the penalties of statutes touching that office. To be plain with you, he is in debt and would sell his land partly to pay his creditors and partly to buy the office. I fear it shall come of him as did of Edw. Hawte, of Kent, who sold 100 mks. of good land to buy a ship and begin merchandise. I beg you will give him good counsel.
	On Thursday last, at Dover, I sat with the other commissioners, except my lord Warden, and there were indicted of treason the two men, Cortney and Foster, on the matter you know of. Courtney was present and pleaded not guilty; we then went to dinner. After dinner he relinquished his plea, confessed, and was sentenced to death and we agreed he should be executed in the Market Place on the morrow. Hakynton, beside Canterbury, Sunday, Michaelmas even.

28 Sept. R. O. St. P. I. 619. Wright's Supp. of Mon., p. 257	232. RIC. POLLARD, THOS. MOYLE, and RIC. LAYTON, to CROMWELL.
	Since writing last from Glastonbury, have found money and plate hid in walls, vaults, and other secret places, and some conveyed to divers places in the country, and they expect to find more if they wait here a fortnight. Have committed to jail, for arrant robbery, the two treasurers of the church, monks, and the two clerks of the vestry, temporal men. At their first entry into the treasury and vestry found neither jewels, plate, nor ornaments, sufficient for a poor parish church, but recovered it by diligent enquiry and search. Have had no time to weigh it but think it, of great value. The abbot and monks had embezzled and stolen as much plate and ornaments as would have sufficed for a new abbey. Asks whether it is the King's pleasure for justice to be executed on these four persons.
	The house is great, goodly, and so princely as we have not seen the like, with 4 parks adjoining, the furthest but 4 miles from the house; a great mere of 5 miles compass being a mile and a half from the house, well replenished with great pikes, breams, perch, and roach, 4 fair manor places belonging to the late abbot, the furthest but three miles distant, and one in Dorsetshire, 20 miles distant. Have despatched the servants with half year's wages, and the monks with the King's reward and pensions. Most are glad to depart, thanking the King. Intend to sell the cattle and let the pastures. Glastonbury, 28 Sept. Signed.
	Pp. 2. Add: Privy Seal.
28 Sept. R. O.	233. GUILLAMME DU BELLAY to LORD LISLE.
	I take advantage of the bearer's going to you to send my recommendations, which my long absence from this kingdom has prevented me doing sooner. I have taken a desire to build, and as you promised that when I did so you would send me lead in return for wine, I beg you will let me have 4 fodder (fouldres) delivered to Mons. Belot, councillor in the Parliament of Rouen, and if you wish for wine this year, I can send some not worse than the last I sent. Compiègne, 28 Sept. 1539. Signed.

	Sends Jonusbey, his principal interpreter, to announce the circumcision of his two sons, which shall be "au Mitan des Calendes de la benoiste Lune d'Honore Regep." Constantinople, "au Mitan de la Lune de Gomel Quel," that is 28 Sept., 1539.

	I have received your letter of Ager, and am sorry the word sables was so illegible; however, they "are now come as well to pass as though they had come rather." I will get a kirtle made for Mrs. Honor, and also a "lettis bonett." "And where your ladyship writeth me to give my lord good counsel for his honour and profit, and how the same shall be also for my honesty," I will not fail to put him in remembrance, trusting he will be earnest in his own cause before he leaves the King. I hear nothing of Mr. Tywcke's lanerd, but I will speak again to Mr. Long. Mr. Polsted is in the country. When he returns I will be in hand with him for Mr. Basset's mewed lanerd. I will also move my lord for payment of the 5l. 10s. to Ager. Justice will be shortly here, and when my lord learns the truth, he will no doubt speak to my lord Warden for redress. My lord was merry this morning. The Palsgrave and he are at Hampton Court, and will be to-morrow at York Place; and on Thursday, my lord rides to my lord Prince and returns to the King; "and then shall my lord know his fare." I send a letter from Mr. Rolles and another from Mr. Dennys. London, 30 Sept.

R. O.	255. THOMAS PYLSON.
	Petition to the King from Thomas Pylson, born in Bromley Abbats, Staff., "fatherless, motherless, and friendless," for royal letters to the master and fellows of the King's Hall, Cambridge, to restore him to his fellowship there, for which he had the King's bill signed, and was admitted in Nov. 30 Hen. VIII., by the mediation of Dr. Redmayne, reader of Divinity in the Schools of Cambridge. John Shyreff, a barber and surgeon in Colman Street, who was recommended to him by John Tyndall, servant to Mr. Hugh Latymer, late bishop of Worcester, a little before Lent last, to cure him of vulnus meretricis caught at the Ste[w]e3 in Southwark, after cruelly illtreating him with starvation and physic, turned him out of doors with his wound unhealed, though he had left him a box of evidences of his lands in Staffordshire as security for his payment. Lay three days out of doors in April, "for no man durst lodge me being thus made so wretched"; and then Tyndall and Wm. Farley, learned in the Canon Law and servant to Mr. Hugh Latimer, would have had him resign his fellowship to Sir Hugh Rawlyn, chaplain to Mr. Hugh Latimer, but he refused. Went home to Staffordshire, and, two months afterwards, to Cambridge, and then Tyndall further persecuted him by sending Rawlyns to him with a letter which compelled him to ride while sick from Cambridge to London, 1 August last. Next day they persuaded him to make a formal resignation before a notary of Paternoster Row, and then afterwards to ride to Chichester to see Mr. Hugh Latimer, sometime his master. By the way, at Midhurst on Monday, 4 Aug., he revoked his act of resignation. Executed various deeds of revocation (described) at Chichester and London, and then repaired to the King at Grafton, where he complained that the master and fellows refused him his fellowship. The King referred him to Dr. Skyp, then almoner. Dr. Skyp, being Rawlyn's special friend, refused to receive his bill and craftily procured one to be signed, 7 Sept., giving Rawlyn the reversion of his fellowship; who thereupon went to Cambridge and got himself admitted.

	Is tenant to the abbot of Reading, who, five or six years ago, granted him the keeping of Eysshewood Park within Lymsters Ore, under the checker seal of the convent. Within a quarter of a year after which Cromwell wrote to the abbot to give the office to Master Hobby, then his servant. The abbot complied, because Braytheford was his servant and bachelor at that time. Braytheford, however, persuaded Hobby to surrender his grant, and has his writing to show it. Mr. Hobby, however, wrote to the abbot of Reading to make a later grant to a chaplain of his named Sir Philip Powle, who unjustly swore before the abbot that Braytheford had surrendered his title. Now the prior of Lymster, in Hobby's name, "doth trouble and vex your said orator and pinneth his cattle and setteth locks upon the park gates in such wise that he cannot live in peace." Begs redress.

Vit. C. XVI., 273. B. M	258. ANNE OF CLEVES.
	Report of negotiations for the marriage of Anne of Cleves as follows:—
	That as to the dote they (the duke of Cleves' commissioners) cannot offer what they think convenient; for they could never pay it, the Duke being a young prince newly [come] to his dominions and forced to prepare daily against his enemies. That since they can promise no great dote they can ask no great dower, but leave all to Henry, who doubtless will provide suitably for his wife. They think it rather expedient to have her conveyed by land than by water; for she "is young and beautiful, and if she should be transported by the seas they fear much how it might alter her complexion. They fear lest the time of the year being now cold and tempestuous she might there, though she were never so well ordered, take such cold or other disease, considering she was never before upon the scas, as should be to her great peril and the King's Majesty's great displeasure." By sea also there is danger of their enemies, and they doubt what quarrel the Hollanders, or other the Emperor's subjects, would make if she fell into their hands without safe conduct.
	"* * * through Bra[bant] ... obtained they account it ... of viij days, specially if it [might please] the King's Majesty to write jointly [with them] for the same, albeit they put no [doubt] but they might themselves obtain [it]." They think the Emperor's people would never break their safe conduct, both because of the dishonour and because it would make the King, the elector of Saxe, the duke of Cleves, and all the princes of Germany their mortal enemies; and moreover "they have such ... traffic with the Emperor's countries that * * * any such practise." They are content that the covenants with the duke of Saxe should be pacted here, "and have promised this afternoon to show the self covenants wherein they be of two opinions touching Gheldres." Ratification by her and by the Duke shall be done with all diligence after the conclusion.

R. O.	263. SIR THOS. PALMER to LORD LISLE.
	I thank your lordship for your letter by Agar. My lady is merry and in good health, and all your household. Mr. Controller rejoices so much in your room that he swears he would give 20l. to hear you were at Dover coming over. It would be well to ascertain my lord Privy Seal's pleasure how this Frenchman, Capt. Audren (fn. 10) shall be entertained, whether he shall come to England or be commanded hence. No doubt if he would serve the King as well as he has served the French king, he is not a man to be cast away, for all over France he is reputed valiant. He has told me since you left that if the King will give him bare entertainment, he will be content, and he will have 2,000 Frenchmen adventurers at his command. I think, whether the King will have him or not, he is unmeet to be here, "for a very few Frenchmen methinks may satisfy this town." He says plainly he will never serve the French king though he should beg all his life. He has slain a gentleman belonging to the Constable of France, and is but a dead man if he be taken there. If I thought we should have war with France within these two years I would rather pay for his board at London than that he should go his way, but I think it good policy to make one Frenchman destroy another. Make my humble recommendations to my lord Privy Seal, who, I fear, is my heavy lord, because I have had no answer to my letters to him this twelvemonth. Say, whoever has reported ill against me, I should like that he and I both were tried before my lord who was the honest man.
	To-day I called Moran Haynys and Jhan Luke with three more substantial men in the Low Country and asked them if they had ever known those of Arde in possession of the Cowswade. They said they well remembered that the Frenchmen of Arde did build certain houses within it, and Thos. Prowde, then baily, did suffer them to do so till they had got them ready to dwell in, when he got the country to pull them down and distrained the stone and timber. Within two years after the Frenchmen caused the said Cowswade to be mowed down, and made above 100 load of hay ready to be carried to the barn, when Thos. Prowde sent word that next day he meant to carry it away. Those of Arde sent answer that they would bring enough pitchforks. On this Mr. Nanfan, then deputy, sent 100 archers of the town with a standard and a drum, who carried away all the hay and brought it to Mark. They remained three hours after the hay was carried off and no claim was made for it to this day. Please inform my Lord Privy Seal of this.
