R. O.

22 Jan.	477. Francis I. to Marillac.
R. O. Kaulek, 263. (Abstract.)	Has received his letter of the 12th (chief points recapitulated), Was pleased with the honorable language held by the King, and his determination to send deputies to settle the matter of the bridge; and approves Marillac's proceedings. French. Modern transcript, pp. 2. Headed: 22 Jan. 1541. Subscribed: Breton.
22 Jan.	478. Montmorency to Marillac.
R. O. Kaulek 264. (Abstract.)	Since last letters nothing new has occurred. The King was glad of the coming of lord William to reside with him, and, since he is of the quality Marillac wrote, he will be sure of welcome and good cheer. The King is marvellously pleased with Marillac's diligent advertisement of what he hears. The Emperor returns further into Germany, and the assembly of Worms proceeds as Montmorency wrote in his last letters. Sees only words: if other Diets have been nothing, this will be as little, and the next, at Ratisbon, less. The Council here has not yet met, so that Marillac's extraordinaires cannot be despatched. At present all this company makes good cheer, and there is no question but of feasting. French. Modern transcript, pp. 2. Headed: 22 Jan. 1541.

24 Jan.	480. The Privy Council.
Nicolas' P.C.P., vii. 122.	Meeting at Hampton Court, 24 Jan. Present: Abp. of Canterbury, Norfolk, Suffolk, Privy Seal, Gt. Chamb., Gt. Admiral, Durham, Treasurer, Comptroller, Mr. of Horse, Vice-Chamb., Wriothesley, Sadler. No business recorded.
25 Jan.	481. The Privy Council.
Nicolas' P. C. P., vii. 122.	Meeting at Hampton Court, 25 Jan. Present: Suffolk, Privy Seal, Gt. Chamb., Gt. Admiral, Treasurer, Comptroller, Mr. of Horse, Vice-Chamb., Wriothesley. Business:—Ph. Brayne, of Exeter, tailor, being proved a common procurer of false matters, and to have slandered Sir Thos. Denys, adjudged to ask Denys's forgiveness at next sessions at Exeter. Upon the complaint of John Augustyne, in the name of the inhabitants of Buckfastlee, Fynfeld, and other the Prince's tenants bordering on Dartmoor Forest, that Sir Thos. Denys witholds from them rights which they enjoyed under the late abbot of Buckfast, it was decreed that they should enjoy these rights (detailed) until the Council should further determine.
25 Jan.	482. Marillac to Francis I.
R. O. Kaulek 264. (Almost the whole text)	The gentleman sent by the two commanders, ambassadors from the Religion of Rhodes, arrived on Wednesday last; but, until yesterday, Sunday, Marillac could not obtain audience, because some of the chief Councillors were away, and the rest engaged in examining accomplices of Mr. Hoyet. Delivered the letters of credence and prayed the King to declare whether the coming of the commanders would be agreeable to him. The King said the Religion detained some of his subjects prisoners, and prevented their return to England, and asked whether they wished to make reparation. Replied he had no instruction upon that point, which the commanders could better answer if they might speak with him. He then called his Council apart and deliberated a great while, and finally answered that he was pleased Francis had not meddled further with this Religion, and that he would not see or listen to those who detained his subjects, but, if these were permitted to return to his kingdom, the said commanders and other ambassadors might come assured of a gracious welcome. This reply, with what other lords of the Court added to it, implies meagre good will to the Religion; for if those who are English returned here they would have to leave their cross and profession, and any further request of the Religion would receive a reply more prompt than reasonable, viz., that the Religion of St. John among all others has been suppressed by Parliament, and cannot be restored without re-assembling Parliament; which will be when they choose, and even if it were at once no man would dare to say contrary to what is already determined. Apparently the ambassadors of the Religion will do as much at — (blank) as in England. Since Hoyet was imprisoned there is nothing new. Others have been examined and acquitted, except a servant of Hoyet's (fn. 1) who was being sent to Spain, who was recalled half way and sent to the Tower as soon as he landed in England. The duke of Norfolk has told Marillac that he goes towards the frontier of Scotland in eight days, to repair the warden towns (villes de garde) and complete some fortifications he began before, which will not take long as all provisions are ready. The new ambassador, lord William, left the day before yesterday; as did the earl of Hertford, for Calais, from whence he will intimate when he is ready to meet the French commissioners about the frontier between Ardres and Guisnes. This King has asked after the health of Francis and the Dauphin, and charged Marillac to write his very cordial recommendations. French. Two modern transcripts, each pp. 5. Headed: London, 25 Jan.
25 Jan.	483. Marillac to Montmorency.
R. O. Kaulek, 266. (Abstract.)	As he writes amply to the King, touching the Religion of Rhodes, and wrote on the 18th, need not make a long letter. The English show no good will towards the said Religion and desire Francis not to meddle further with it; and truly he could do nothing unless he showed himself willing to imitate (eviter qu. imiter?) the English in an example of such evil consequence as taking from the religious what the devotion of his predecessors gave. This King has told Marillac that he had it from a good place that the Emperor would not sojourn in Germany, but pass as soon as possible into Italy, and that the Pope having made “gros mousseau” of ducats would meet him, to cede him Parma and Piacenza and help him with money, provided his (the Pope's) son were made duke of Florence. There is a report current that the king of Scots would come into England as a fugitive from his country. This was so hard to believe that Marillac would not write of it until he made enqiries; which show that the king of Scots, with 50 or 60 horsemen, in following a falcon, forded the river which divides the realms and came seven or eight miles into England; then, after showing himself to those of Berwick, who at first did not know him, returned into his own country. The garrison graciously invited him to drink wine at Berwick, but he answered he had no need of it; and in truth it was not his shortest [way]. French. Modern transcript, pp. 2. Headed: London, 25 Jan. 1541.
25 Jan.	484. Sir Cuthbert Radclyf to Sir Anth. Browne.
Add. MS. 32,646, f. 142. B. M. Hamilton Papers, No. 60.	Has had several meetings with the warden of the Middle March of Scotland for redress of bills done since Midsummer was a year, according to a covenant made at Coldstream by commissioners of both realms before the writer's entry. On Friday last, 14 Jan., they met at Allonton church and made an end of the bills, as well of Liddisdale as of other, filed since his entry. Are to meet again at Hexspethe Gaythed, 8 Feb. next, to proceed with old bills. Sir Thos. Wharton, deputy warden of the West March, sent certain of the Fosters, whom the writer delivered, for a great attemptate, amounting to 80l. sterling, by them done. Got thereby redress of two attemptates of Liddisdale, and the warden of Scotland has promised to answer both for Liddisdale and Teviotdale. Praises Wharton's conduct, who has spared no cost nor labour. The officers of Scotland seem to intend nothing but justice. Cartington, 25 Jan. Signed. Pp. 2. Add.: Master of the Horse. Sealed. Endd.
25 Jan.	485. The Bishop of Aquila to Cardinal Farnese.
Laemmer, Mon. Vat., 342.	Gives a brief survey of the proceedings at Worms from 17 Nov., when Granvelle arrived, to 18 Jan., when he prorogued the conference to Ratisbon, and departed to the Emperor at Spires. The outlook is hopeful now that the danger of suffrages is past. With the reunion of Germany, the Emperor will be able to resist the Turk. Has just received Farnese's letters of the 9th. The deputation of the Legate (fn. 2) gives great satisfaction to the Catholics and the Court. The bp. of Winchester is here, ambassador of the King of England, “vir acris ingenii, con gran pompa.” It is feared that he comes to trouble matters. Bishop Vergerius is in the house of the French ambassador, and his familiarity with Melancthon and his companions does much mischief. * * * Spires, 25 Jan. 1541. Italian and Latin.
25 Jan.	486. Englishmen in Spain.
Add. MS. 34,701, f. 4. B. M.	Instrument which describes itself as a carta executoria declaring the decision of the Court of Chancery at Valladolid in the case of Thomas Huillin, Thomas Uchin, Juan Josum (elsewhere Jobsum), and Juan Rubin, English merchants. Goes at great length into the whole process from the 18th of June 1539, when the parties (in two ships) were arrested at leaving the port of Vermeo on a charge of carrying out money and other contraband goods, and finally orders restitution of the property. Many officials and legal proceedings are alluded to. Dated Valladolid, 25 January 1541. Spanish. Parchment book (illuminated first page) of 51 closely written pages.
Ib., f. 2. B. M.	2. Petition made (upon the King's command for such as have been wronged by the Emperor's subjects to declare it) by John Robyns, Thos. Wyllyng, John Jobson, and Thos. Hechyns, of the city of Exetar, presenting a carta executorya, whereby it appears that they were imprisoned and their goods seized in Biscay, and after three years' suit recovered their goods, but not their costs or the interest of their money. Pp. 2. Headed: 1545.
Ib. f. 3. B. M.	3. Note that Thos. Willing, John Robyns, and others, of Excetour, declare they were imprisoned and their goods arrested in Spain without just cause. That at length, being delivered and their goods restored, their damages and charges were not allowed, so that they sustain loss to the sum of 607l. 10s. st. P. 1.
26 Jan.	487. Henry VIII. to lord William Howard.
R. O. St. P. viii. 518.	Hearing that the process of the Admiral of France is at a point and he likely to be restored to his pristine honour, sends letters of congratulation to be delivered to him if that be the case. He is of Henry's order, and if restored to his former influence will have better regard to the entertainment of the amity than has been of late, and will not suffer his master to be trained into practices to his own detriment. Draft, p. 1. Endd.: Minute to the Lord Wm. Hawarde, 26 Jan.
26 Jan.	488. Wallop to Henry VIII.
R. O. St. P., viii. 513.	The King's letter of the 5th did not reach him till the 15th, by reason of troublous weather as the bearer said. Perceives therein what reply to make about the Breton, the coming of my lord of Hereford and Sir Edw. Kearne about Cowbridge, the King's acceptance of De Beez as a commissioner, and the writer's own recall and the appointment of lord William Howard in his place. As to the Breton, the French King took my declaration in good part. He was well satisfied with the coming of Hereford and Kearne, and not a little glad of your acceptance of De Beez, though a borderer; saying that if he could have devised another more meet for the purpose he would have done so, and that he had enjoined De Beez and his colleague to have more respect to the amity than to any private profit. Is glad of his recall, as his great desire is to see the King from whom he has been absent nigh two years. Has “lived a good space resolutely in two points,” viz., to obey Henry in all things, and never to ask more than he has already received; so that he feels greatly bounden to those friends who have commended him. My delay in answering your Majesty's letters is due to want of news. The Turk makes great preparations by sea and land, intending to enter Hungary. He is already at Adrianople with his wife and wives, an unusual thing, as heretofore he ever left them at Constantinople. He makes vessels for the Danube and practises men in that navigation, which river has the swiftest current in Christendom. Describes how Captain Rynckorne, the French King's ambassador, is coming from the Turk upon matters of importance. After my lord of Winchester spoke with the Emperor, the latter wrote to his ambassador here, enclosing Winchester's commission to be declared to the French King to avoid mistrust. The ambassador showed it to me, i.e., that Mr. Pate sued to be revoked, and Winchester to supply his room, bringing with him Mr. Knevet; Winchester to accompany the Emperor to the Diet and then return into England, leaving Knevet as ambassador resident. The ambassador of Cleves daily attends the Court, but no determination will be taken before the Duke's coming hither, which shall not be before the Emperor's departure out of Almaign. Many think that but for the Turk's coming into Hungary, no Diet had been kept; and so Mons. de Veyley, the French ambassador, has lately written. News from Italy is that the bp. of Rome after Candlemas departs to Camberyne, and thence to Olvyeta towards Bologna, there to abide the Emperor's coming; and that at the Diet in Almaign shall be nothing done for the profit of the said Bishop or of the French. Order is taken at Rome that all bishops retire to their bishoprics. As to the marriage of the Bishop's niece with Mons. de Guyse's son, the Bishop will make no further offer than he has already made. The marquis of Guaste has sent for Signor Camylle de Collonya, one of the Emperor's chief captains, who has come to him with 25 or 30 captains, and others daily join them; their intent is not yet ascertained. Francis sends ships and 500 or 600 footmen, to seek the “trade of spicerey” by a shorter way than the Portingalles use, i.e., by the Mare Glasearum. Their pilot, Jacques Cartier, a Breton, thinks it will be navigable for three months in the year. The captain of the footmen is Clement Marotte, who has been an exile for Lutheranism, and his men are malefactors and vagabonds, who can well be spared; so that if they never return it will be no great loss. A new Portuguese ambassador has come to reside. He and the old daily sue for stay of the ships that Francis permits to go to Brisell. If they go they are likely to suffer, as the Portuguese have sent thither many armed ships. Yesterday I was at Court, and, obeying your letters, dated Hampton Court, 9th inst., signed by your Council, declared your thanks for the pasties, the more as it had pleased Francis and the queen of Navarre to be at the seasoning and saye taking of the same. He rejoiced that the pasties “liked you so well” and required me to write that he is ever your good brother and friend. He had heard that Wyat was sent to the Tower manacled, and asked what his offences were and if he was a Lutheran, saying that in Spain he was troubled for such things, and that when the Emperor was here “he did speak with him, other at Bleez or Amboiez, very audaciously; pointing his hand to his head as though he took him to be somewhat fantastic.” He said a gentleman of the North parts, (fn. 3) who had been two or three years ago sent on embassy to Scotland, was also sent to the Tower; and desired to know his name. I said I knew him not, nor why they were committed. Then he spoke of the late Privy Seal's naughty intentions towards your Highness and the lady Mary, perhaps hinting that Wyat and the other should be of that affinity, and said he was glad you did reform the Lutheran sect, as no good could come of them. He said that lately in Dauphiné was found a sect of them, who used to assemble in a dark place and preach by candle light, after which they cried “Dele candelam, crescite et multiplicamini.” This sect he had driven out, and won by them 100,000 crs. Then I showed him my lord William would be here shortly, and he said he would write to your Highness and instruct me further. As soon as I have presented lord William, I shall repair towards your Highness, in post if so commanded, “which should be now to me somewhat painful.” Mellune, 26 Jan. Signed. Pp. 7. Add. Endd.

27 Jan.	490. Henry VIII. to the Deputy and Council of Ireland. (fn. 4)
R. O. S. P., iii. 279.	Has received their letters by Thos. Dacres recommending that Tirlo Othole “upon this his submission,” should have certain lands, as in a schedule enclosed in their letters, (fn. 5) the copy of which is herewith remitted. Answer to other points of the said letters and to the relation of the King's Serjeant and Attorney, now here, shall be sent shortly on their return; but meanwhile the King is content to grant Tirlogh and his brother Arte Othole the lands contained in the schedule, under conditions specified in a signed schedule herewith. Authorises the Chancellor, upon indenture made by the Deputy, Chancellor, Baron Wealshe, John Mynne and Wm. Candishe with the said Tirlo and his brother, to make out the letters patent. As Piers Talbot has already a grant of part of the said lands, called Pouerscourte, the Deputy and others aforenamed shall desire him to surrender his said grant and shall appoint him lands of like value in some other place where such a loyal subject may do service. Tirlogh, and also Fitzwilliamz, who came hither with him as his interpreter, declared that they promised to write in his favour for another parcel of land, called Amayle, now in an Irishman's hands, but there is no mention of it in the schedule. If they think it advisable for the winning of Tirlogh and alluring of others, grant may be made of Amayle also. It must be seen that Tirlogh and his brother observe the conditions, and if they break them and return to their old life, their punishment, like their good entertainment, is to be an example to others. Draft, pp. 8, with corrections by Wriothesley. Endd.: Minute to the Deputy and Council in Ireland, 27 Jan., touching Othole.

As at my being there you concluded an act for the whole company to protect any one of them that came in suit, I trust you will consider the bearer Water Portier and the widow of Chechester “if her husband were one that put his name to the said act.” P. 1.

The Council doubting whether that fact weighed to treason, wrote for the lord Chancellor's opinion.

[31 Jan.]	502. The Privy Council to the Lord Chancellor.
R. O.	Have received his letters of the 30th inst., and shown the contents to the King, who wishes the records for the matters of Calais sent to my lord of Hertford, “with this instruction following, but not under an inspeximus, that forasmuch as the first article maketh fully for h … matters in question he shall only show the said first article.” If the other party descend to the 2nd article and would declare the Couswade, &c., to have belonged to the abbey of Ardern in France, “or any other church out of those limits which then were consigned to the king of England, by the words of th'exception of th'inheritance of the churches, &c.,” my lord may answer that that makes rather for than against us, as the exception was made that the churches within those limits should not lose the rents of their lands without. In giving further proofs my lord of Hertford shall have good regard whether Arde be within the said boundary or no. As to the matter of A. B., (fn. 9) you shall make the persons named in your letters privy to it under charge of strict secrecy. Beg him to require the bp. of Durham to send hither the copy of the treaty of Scotland “for the despatch of Lancaster for the demand of the rebels, which [is deferred] till we shall see how far the said treaty extendeth.” Hampton Court.
