Collingwode, and John Horseley to enforce the laws made for the expulsion of aliens, the King being informed that many Scottish people exercise husbandry and handicrafts within Northumberland, to the detriment of the King's natural subjects. Also for three of them, of whom Ellerker or Bowes must be one, to survey the waste grounds along the frontier of the East and Middle Marches, devise how many able horsemen the same will bear, what rents they would bring, and what would be the cost of the necessary fortifications. All proceedings to be certified to the Council attending the King's person. Draft corrected by Wriothesley. Large paper, p. 1. Endd.: “The copy of a commission to the within named touching the East Marches, &c., foranemst Scotland, dated at York xxvj^o Septemb. 1541.”
R. O.	2. Memorandum to know my lord of Norfolk's pleasure concerning the expulsion of Scots, viz:— (1.) If a Scot have married an English woman and have children by her and keep house, having an occupation or mystery; how they shall be ordered? (2) If a Scot be retained with a gentleman in service as falconer, horsekeeper, jakmaker, prentice, or the like? (3) If they affirm they have been banished out of Scotland?

26 Sept.	1206. Henry VIII. to Sir Ralph Ellerker and Sir Robt. Bowes.
Add. MS. 32,646, f. 229. B. M. Hamilton Papers, No. 89.	As, by commission of this date, they are appointed to repair to the East and Middle Marches foreanempst Scotland to enforce certain statutes and view certain grounds there, and therefore should be well furnished with attendants, they may (for this purpose only) retain 100 men [each], (fn. 1) besides their household servants. Draft in Wriothesley's hand, p. 1. Endd.: Minute to Mr. Ellarkar and Mr. Bowys, xxvj^o Septemb. 1541.
26 Sept.	1207. Henry VIII. to James V.
Add. MS. 32,646, f. 227. B. M. Hamilton Papers, No. 88.	The Scots have made spoils and raised fire in England, having burnt houses belonging to Beaucastle fortress and raided 16 miles within English ground, laying an ambush which murdered four gentlemen and three others who went to the rescue of the said spoils. These attemptates declare rather open hostility than any such friendship as James lately expressed. Signifies this by bearer, Berwick pursuivant, requiring speedy redress to be made, the lack or delay of which should force him to provide other means to protect his subjects. Draft, pp. 2. Endd.: Minute to the king of Scots, xxvj^o Septembris 1541, from York.
26 Sept.	1208. Marillac to Francis I.
R. O. Kaulek, 341. (The whole text.)	This King having made his entry into York, two days after Marillac wrote on the 16th, with like solemnity as at Lincoln and elsewhere, Marillac has been daily with Norfolk to resume the subject commenced, in pursuance of Francis's letters and instruction in cipher. Taking care to propose the match as greatly to the advantage of the English, [declared] (fn. 2) that, for the sake of perpetual amity, Francis, having heard from the Admiral what Marillac had proposed and yielding deference to the ladies, would desire lady Mary for Orleans. Found Norfolk more cautious than he had been, fearful of incurring the jealousy of the rest of the Council, and anxious to have the affair communicated to others as well as himself. Reflecting that thereupon they might say the overture came entirely from Francis, and be the more stiff, told Norfolk he had no charge to address himself to others, and durst not contravene Francis's letters, which were that the affair should be kept secret. Norfolk kept him four days waiting for an answer, and meanwhile hourly tried to elicit from him what France would ask, but he would only reply generally that this treaty should extinguish the old disputes about the pensions and establish an amity pure and simple. Finally, Norfolk came to say that he had debated this affair with his master, who was much inclined to it as the highest match he could wish for his daughter, and, when the conditions as to dot and dower were settled, would declare in what degree she should be capable (habille) to succeed him. The Duke added, as of himself, that there would be no difficulty about legitimation, which he presumed Francis would insist on, but as to succession to the crown of England, the young prince of Wales and other heirs both male and female who should be born would be preferred to the said lady, inferring that she would only be preferred to Queen Anne's daughter, Ysabeau. He said his master, as customary in such cases, required that Marillac should have power to treat, under Francis's great seal, before proceeding further; adding that if they did not mean to listen, they would not ask it. Answered coldly that such a power would come better when things were debated and ready to be concluded; and then, doubtless, Francis would give it and also depute personages of importance befitting the affair, for he was young and alone here; but meanwhile it seemed no hindrance to ask what offer they would make, to know thereby the likelihood of agreement. To this Norfolk, after referring again to his master, replied that it was no hindrance to have the said power to discuss conditions, reserving the conclusion to be made as Francis should desire. Not to make too great instance, answered that he would refer again to Francis. Gathers from his dealing with Norfolk that there will be certain difficulties in this match, viz. (1) on showing Norfolk the advantage of placing the Lady so high, he said Orleans was too great, for he presumed that this King's other Councillors would foresee that if he succeeded to both crowns the English would have a foreign king; adding that the chief hindrance to the Emperor's marrying her was the fear that he might treat England like Naples, and keep a viceroy there, and dilating upon the importance of this match to France, so that Francis should require it more eagerly and be content with less advantage upon hope of such a succession. (2) The English require the conditions settled before saying how they will deliver her, thus leaving a loophole for escape at the last. (3) Although the English allow that a son of France could not marry a bastard, Marillac knows not whether they would confess that her mother was Queen, it being by Act of Parliament forbidden to call her otherwise than Madame, or whether they would style her legitimated by the grace of her father, or whether Francis would take her simply as eldest legitimate daughter of the king of England, knowing that the marriage is undoubtedly approved by the Church. Begs Francis to send full instruction and decide whether it is best to send Marillac the preliminary power required, that he may feel what offer they would make and what dower they would have assigned, or else to send personages of authority at the risk of making the English think they are being sought. The instruction should state how much of the pensions has been paid, what is due, and what remains for the future, since this affair is to extinguish that dispute; and also whom to negociate with in Norfolk's absence, for he says he will shortly go to his house until All Saints Day, by which time the Court will be at London, and which will be time enough for the answer to this. In spite of the preparations to receive the king of Scotland and this King's delaying a month here, it is clear now that he is not expected, for this King leaves in two days towards Lincoln and London.

26 Sept.	1209. Marillac to the Admiral.
R. O. Kaulek, 345. (Abstract.)	Writes to the King the substance of his dealing with Norfolk, and supposes that the Admiral will see the letters, with the obstacle to further progress and the difficulties. Norfolk confessed that his master's greatest hope for the success of this affair was in the Admiral's known inclination to preserve the amity. As the Admiral knows the men and their fashion of negociating, Marillac will only beg him to send ample instruction. Although the Admiral has little acquaintance with him (who was never in the service of prince or lord and only two or three times in Court, when, returning from the Levant, he sought his despatch to go back to his kinsman, La Forest, who was ambassador par de là), he begs acceptance of his services, as a poor young man who is in sufficiency one of the least of the Admiral's servants, but in fidelity and affection not inferior to the greatest. French. Modern transcript, pp. 2. Headed: 26 Sept. 1541.

Has already written to the Council of this, and is keeping sure watch. Has appointed an enterprise upon the Scottishmen in the Debateable Ground on Friday night next, with a view to draw inhabitants of the foot of Liddersdale to the fray and train them into an ambush. Can do this without offending the peace, and hopes thereby to discourage other Scottishmen from coming to inhabit there.

Is just informed, out of Liddersdell, that Lord Maxwell called to his house of Langholme in Eskdale two each of the Armstranges, Elwaldes, and Crosers, and said, “Ye are the men I can trust: I will have some notable act done to the Englishmen to requite the great displeasures we have lately suffered by them.” On 27 Sept., at night, an espial told him that the bp. of Aberdeen and the ambassadors linger in their coming, awaiting news from their Cardinal in France.

	1225. The French Ambassador's ‘Man” to Chapuys.
Spanish Calendar, VI. i., No. 187.	In his last letter, of 17 Sept., (fn. 7) Francis wrote to his ambassador, from Lan en Bresse, of the shameful defeat of king Ferdinand near Buda, accusing the Emperor for not having gone to his brother's assistance, and believing that the Turks had now got possession of Vienna; also that the disaster would not have happened but for the capture of Rincon and Fragoso; and further, that he had word from Vincentio Maggio whom he had sent to the Levant to represent him at the court of the Grand Turk, that the said Turk on hearing of Rincon's arrest had arrested Laschi, ambassador of Ferdinand, shut him up in a tower at Belgrade and sold his horses. Lastly, that the duke of Savoy and his son bad parted in anger from the Emperor. The latter was in the Tyrol ready to enter Italy at the head of 15,000 lanzknechts, exclusive of the Spanish infantry he had with him. These, however, being raw levies might well be countermanded, as a gentleman (fn. 8) from the Levant had written to the Sieur de Bois-Rigault, his ambassador in Switzerland. Cannot remember the gentleman's name, but it begins with N. Can recognise him, however, by the contents of the letter he himself wrote to Bois-Rigault which the writer has read through. Its substance was, that as the aforesaid 15,000 lanzknechts who are under the command of count Frederic and of his brother, (fn. 9) refuse to march where the Emperor desires them, it would be easy to make them desert. That is why the Frenchman [from the Levant] had written to Bois-Rigault that if Francis wished to secure the services of these 15,000 lanzknechts and 1,000 more who had been refused to pass the last muster, the thing was practicable. Thinks the letter was written at Zel. Note [by Chapuys]:—Thinks the above letter a mere invention, as Francis usually minimises the Emperor's forces as much as possible, whereas here he does the contrary. Original (in cipher) at Vienna.
