17 Feb. R. O.	113. Council Of Calais To Lord Maltravers. Hearing that Margaret Torres, wife of John Torres, man-at-arms here, although Maltravers commanded her not to repair into France, had ridden with one of her husband's servants to Ardre, examined them and send their confessions. Were about to send her and the confessions to him when her husband arrived from England; to whom they declared how strange it was for her so to transgress and be the occasion of another's offence, supposing her, for that and for being suspect to live with him in adultery, no meet person to dwell here. He answered that he was sorry she had done anything impertinent; but, of her repairing into France and their conversation together, he had spoken with the King, who marvelled that she was impeached of going into France, and, as for their living together, thought not meet that they should be "assundered, no man making to her any claim or challenge"; and that the King would in both matters confer with Maltravers. To boult out the truth further, objected to her that her servant confessed that she spoke with the captain of Ardre more than half an hour, alone, and that the Captain defrayed her charges. She granted that she communed with the Captain, and showed writings touching the matter she went about, and afterwards, in sport, told her servant that the Captain had defrayed her charges. The servant afterwards confessed that he saw her pay her own charges, but a man came from the Captain to her lodging at her departing. She said that was one Seintclere, a Frenchman, who came about her said affairs. Refer it to his discretion to reveal this to the King's Council. Calais, 17 Feb. 1541.

Soon after, two soldiers of the town came and drank with her, and went and reported her coming to the Captain, who sent two gentlemen to bring her to his lodging, where she talked privately with him in the parlour window for half an hour, and then supped at his table, and the foresaid two gentlemen conducted her back to her lodging. Next morning she departed about 8 a.m. and would have paid for her expenses, but the Captain sent money to the hostess and defrayed her charges, as she said. Pp. 2. iii.

22 Feb. R. O. Kaulek, 390. (The whole).	120. Marillac To Francis I. In the memoire which Marillac delivered to M. de Morvillier when he passed this way on his return from Scotland, was an article about Robert Val, who, at the road of Camaret, on the Brittany coast, forcibly borrows merchandise (which he afterwards sells) from passing ships, both French and foreign (and has recently taken from some Englishmen 600 quintals of iron and 400 Marocco skins, on pretext that they were laden in Spain and belonged to Spaniards, and he must deal with them as the Emperor did with French ships), delivering however a certificate of what he takes as his own proper debt. The lords of this Council have prayed him to write to Francis (as, he thinks, this King also does) to take early order for what has happened and may be expected. The English ambassador will have the original or copy of Robert Val's certificate and will explain the matter to Francis's Council. French. Modern transcript, pp. 2. Headed : "Lettre particulliere au Roy touchant Robert Val, envoyée par ung des Angloys le xxij^e de Fevrier audit an" (1542).

25 Feb. Spanish Calendar, VI. I. No. 232.	124. Chapuys To Charles V. His efforts to induce Henry to enter a closer alliance. Just after the bp. of London's departure, sent three different messages to the lord Privy Seal and the lord Admiral to ask interviews, under different pretexts, to see if the bp.'s mission had this in view. The Privy Seal said both he and the Admiral were ready to use good offices. Believes the Council are all in favour of it, but as long as there is a chance of war between the Emperor and Francis the King will make difficulties. As he dislikes expense, he raises his terms when sought after. He should be gained over, however, to forestall the French, who, according to Chapuys' usual informant, now almost offer the English carte blanche for an alliance. His informant may be wrong, but the [French] King's letter to his ambassador (of which more hereafter) rather confirms this. Will take care to keep the man at our devotion. Gave him 50 cr. of his pension yesterday. Lately he sent me word that Morvilliers had returned from Scotland and intended to cross to France without calling on this King. He expects to have more news when the ambassador's cousin (fn. 1) returns from France. Sees no great appearance of this King taking back the Duke of Cleves's sister. Two or three days before the Queen was lodged in the Tower he sent some of his Privy Councillors to her to get back a ring, "que la dite Royne luy avoit deu envoyager ou en present on pour enseignees"; which ring, according to the Duke's ambassador here, is only worth 3 gold cr. unless the stone, as is said, has some virtue against spasms. The Duke's ambassador has many letters from German princes to the King, to persuade him to take back Anne; which, however, he has been persuaded by the French ambassador not to present unless King Francis approves. (fn. 2) Forgot, when writing on the 10th, of the Queen's trial and condemnation, to mention that after the condemnation passed against her in Parliament, the King, wishing to proceed with moderation, had sent to her certain Councillors and others of the said Parliament, to offer her to come and defend her own case in the Parliament. This she declined, submitting entirely to the King's mercy and owning that she deserved death. Some days later, on the afternoon of the 10th, she was, with some resistance, conveyed by river to the Tower. The lord Privy Seal, with a number of Privy Councillors and servants went first in a great barge; then came the Queen with three or four men and as many ladies, in a small covered barge; then the Duke of Suffolk, in a great barge, with a company of his men. On their arrival at the Tower, the lords landed first; then the Queen, in black velvet, and they paid her as much honour as when she was reigning. On Sunday the 12th, towards evening, she was told to prepare for death, for she was to die next day. That evening she asked to have the block brought in to her, that she might know how to place herself; which was done, and she made trial of it. Next morning, about 7, those of the Council except Suffolk, who was ill, and Norfolk, were at the Tower, accompanied by various lords and gentlemen, such as Surrey (Norfolk's son and the Queen's cousin), and she was beheaded in the same spot where Anne Boleyn had been executed. Her body was then covered [with a black cloak (fn. 3) ]. and her ladies took it away. Then Lady Rochford was brought, who had shown symptoms of madness till they told her she must die. Neither she nor the Queen spoke much on the scaffold; they only confessed their guilt and prayed for the King's welfare. The King has been in better spirits since the execution, and during the last three days before Lent there has been much feasting. Sunday was given up to the lords of his Council and Court; Monday to the men of law, and Tuesday to the ladies, who all slept at the Court. He himself in the morning did nothing but go from room to room to order lodgings to be prepared for these ladies, and he made them great and hearty cheer, without showing particular affection to any one. Indeed, unless Parliament prays him to take another wife, he will not, I think, be in a hurry to marry; besides, few, if any, ladies now at Court would aspire to such an honour, for a law has just been passed that should any King henceforth wish to marry a subject, the lady will be bound, on pain of death, to declare if any charges of misconduct can be brought against her, and all who know or suspect anything of the kind against her are bound to reveal it within 20 days, on pain of confiscation of goods and imprisonment for life. Hears of no other ordinance passed by this Parliament, except the condemnation and prohibition of the Bible which Cromwell got translated into English. Since writing the above, his man has brought him from the French embassy the enclosed copy of a letter in cipher from Francis to his ambassador here; from which Chapuys infers that the interview was first proposed by Henry, though he assured Chapuys it came from Francis. As to the language held to the said Ambassador, as mentioned in the letter, it could not have been by the King, with whom he has not spoken since Christmas, nor by any other than the Duke of Norfolk, who ventures occasionally "d'enricher les affaires." Learns from the same source that the Ambassador will soon go to France to report on the business in question. Yet his man is to meet Chapuys's servant in two or three days, to communicate such information as he may be able to collect respecting his master's actual negociations with these people. He will see meanwhile if he can lay hold of other letters of the French King or his Ministers, and a copy of the cipher key. He wants money beforehand, which shall be supplied, though Chapuys is in great need and presses for payment of arrears, as the Emperor promised before he left Bruges. London, 25 Feb. 1542. ii. Decipher of the French King's letter to his Ambassador, 11 Feb. (See No. 97.) From the Vienna Archives.
25 Feb. Spanish Calendar, VI. I., No. 233.	125. Mary Of Hungary To Chapuys. Has delayed answering his letter of 30 Dec. awaiting news of the return of the ambassadors (fn. 4) who were here to England. Has since received his letters of the 10th and 29th January and of the 9th inst. Has also received letters of Grantvelle, who was obliged again to put up at Gennes, as appears by his letter to Marvol (copy enclosed). As to news of these parts, the French are intriguing everywhere to take us by surprise, but we hope they will not be able to raise so many men in Germany as they expect. The King of the Romans is still at Spires, to collect the money aid against the Turk granted by the Diet of Regensburg, whither the King of France has sent four ambassadors. One of these, the Chancellor of Alençon, made a long speech, declaring his master's willingness to aid in the defence of Hungary, and urging general union against such a formidable enemy as the Turk; that Francis had lately sent to Constantinople Cesare Fragoso and Rincon, to persuade him not to attack Germany, but that they had been arrested in the Emperor's dominions, against the truce of Nice; and that the Germans ought not to make an offensive war against the Turk. Thus much have the French ambassadors at the Diet done and said in public; but, secretly, they are soliciting the Germans not to aid the Hungarians, trying to persuade them that the Turk will make no attempt this year, and offering to mediate between the Infidel and the German States. Meanwhile, Hungary is preparing for defence, and King Ferdinand's affairs are more prosperous than ever. Brussels, 25 Feb. 1542. From the Vienna Archives.
25 Feb. Caius College, MS. 597, p. 42.	126. Paget To The Council. According to the King's commandment declared by your several letters, I have spoken with the French King concerning the book made in the lady Anne of Cleves' name; as you shall perceive by my letters to the King. I also set forth, both to the King and the Admiral, the merchants' suit, and, attending an answer, have deferred despatch of these letters two or three days. Upon the first overture the Admiral promised expedition next day. Next day I sent my clerk before dinner and went myself after dinner, but the Admiral would only answer that they had no leisure, but next day, without fail, I should be despatched. Sent my clerk to him, and he sent him (the clerk) to the Chancellor, who said he knew nothing of the matter. I then went to Court, but could not see the Admiral. This day I went again and "spake with him somewhat roundly; and when he promised me again to dispatch me to-morrow. I prayed him to make me an answer the next day, for I did perceive I was not lucky to-morrow." He gave me fair words (as before), and I then told the King of these delays, who answered that he would speak with his Council in it. I think this is all they will do "till they see what hope they shall have at your hands of greater things." If I may catch Norfolk and have liberty to send him over I will do my devoir. Paris, 25 Feb. 1541. Letter-book copy, in the hand of Paget's clerk, pp. 2. Headed : To the Council.
26 Feb. Nicolas' P.C.P., VII. 313.	127. The Privy Council. Meeting at Westm., 26 Feb. Present : Abp. of Cant., Norfolk, Suffolk, Southampton, Sussex, Hertford, Durham, Winchester, Gt. Admiral, Treasurer, Comptroller, Mr. of Horse, Vicechamb., Wriothesley, Sadler, Chanc. of Tenths. Business :—Upon advertisement of musters in Picardy, &c., letters were sent to Wallop, captain of Guisnes, to provide against surprise. The lord Deputy, Sir Thos. Poyninges, marshal of Calais, and Sir Geo. Carrew, lieutenant of Risebanke, to repair to their charges with diligence. Upon information of the Comptroller of Calais that Wotton, the High Treasurer, kept not his number of men, order was given to the lord Deputy speak with him. Recognisance (cited) of John Grevell to appear quindena Trinitatis. Letters sent to Sir Ric. Lister, Mr. Porte and — (blank) for justice on — Bodenham, in Fissherton gaol for robbery.
26 Feb. R. O. St. P., VIII., 660.	128. Paget To Henry VIII. Has received two letters from the Council, one touching the French book (fn. 5) he lately sent, and also touching Norfolk (fn. 6) and the traitor Blanche Rose, the other appointing him to solicit earnestly the cause of certain English merchants now repairing hither. Deferred going to Court until he knew the author of the book; and then, on Wednesday last, went to the Admiral's chamber and, after dinner, entered the merchants' suit, saying there were sundry English merchants who had process here, some four, some ten, some eighteen or twenty years, and, although they had sentence in their favour, were delayed from court to court by appellations and such frustratory delays; whose despatch he was commanded to solicit, and therefore commended their suit to him, knowing his authority with his master and the King's (Henry's) good opinion of him; and so delivered the letters from the French ambassador. After a long preamble of his desire to serve the King and promote the amity, he said he would know his master's pleasure that night, and give reasonable answer on the morrow. Said he would be glad to speak with the King his master. He replied, With a right good will; and led the way, by a secret stair, to the King's privy chamber, "whereas he sat at dinner accompanied only with the gentlemen of his privy chamber, because he did eat no fish." After reverence made, the Admiral entertained the writer by saying how like their masters were, "not only in personage, but also in wisdom and affection, delighting both in hunting, in hawking, in building, in apparel, in stones, in jewels, and of like affection one to another," which would last always, although, of late days, evil ministers had gone about to dissolve it. And he went on to hope there "might yet be knit by blood and flesh a perpetual knot to their posterity," adding that, at the Emperor's being here, when he saw that some men drew the way that was not to his master's honour or profit, he drew the other. Then, the King having dined, the Admiral went and declared the merchants' suits. The King came to Paget and asked how Henry did, and what news out of England. Answered that he had no news out of England, but in France he had learnt some; he had heard that there was a book made in the lady Anne of Cleves' name which very slanderously seemed to touch his master's honor, and asked Francis to take order for calling it in. "What book is it ? (quod the King). Who made it ? Is it printed?" "A very foolish book, Sir (quod I), made by Mons^r Gyvry, (fn. 7) Count Bryan's (fn. 8) brother, but I am in doubt whether it be printed or no." He promised to stay the printing, and recover the copies that were out, saying that, surely, the Duke of Cleves knew not of it, for it were folly, "especially now at this time; for men's affections do alter, and the lady Anne is yet of age to bear children, and albeit the wind hath been contrary it may fortune to turn." Paget answered that he knew nothing of things to come, but, in the things that were past therein, he was sure his master had acted with God's law, man's law, reason and honesty. The King said his good brother's wisdom and experience were such that he knew what to do in these things, and that he himself would have their amity even greater than it was, and had set forward by his ambassador something that would turn to both their honours. Paget offered his services to promote it, whatever it was; and the King then turned to the merchants' matters, saying he would confer with his Council. And so Paget took leave. Then made an errand to see the Queen of Navarre, saying he heard she had been sick (as she had) and thought it his part to visit her. She was glad to hear the King was well; saying, "for I must needs love that Prince, for sundry causes; I should have been once his father's wife, and I should have been his wife, and he and I be both of one opinion in religion, for neither of us loveth the Pope; and I think he would be glad to see both our destructions, for the which purpose he practiseth with th'Emperor, that is to say, with hypocrisy; for the Emperor is hypocrisy and the Pope the Devil. But (quod she) if I might once see these two Kings knit together by some knot of blood, as they be by friendship, I should see the greatest benefit that ever came to Christendom." Details further conversation, in which he said he saw no greater Popery anywhere than in France, where, "the last day," ten or twelve honest persons, for saying that the Pope deceived the world, were had to prison and in danger of death. She said it was the practise of the "maskers in red caps" (fn. 9) who were of her brother's Council; but she reckoned of the Council, that the Admiral, the cardinals of Belley and Tournon and Mons. de Langey were good Christians; and so was Mons. d'Orleans, who was as far in love with the King's (Henry's) daughter as his brother that is dead was, who once told her he would give one of his hands to have her. She advised Paget to get his master's leave to speak with Mons. d'Orleans, and told him, secretly, that she thought her brother had broached the subject of his marriage. Said he would be glad to do service, but loved not to counsel of a thing until called, and also he had heard that heretofore things were not handled here as directly as the amity deserved. She said it was the Constable's doing, as she told my lord of Norfolk at his being here, (fn. 10) but now all her brother's Council were the King's servants, and Madame d'Estampes and she his handmaids, although the Queen worked against them, and would fain that Orleans should have her daughter. Said he "would all things were for the best." "I trust it shall, quod she, and to the glory of God's word"; and here she made a discourse of religion an hour long, which Paget interrupted by asking which way the King would make his progress. She said, towards Sens in Bourgoyn. Said he heard it was to Picardy, and that there was muttering of war. "War, quod she, will be none, unless this amity go forward, and if this amity go forward, quod she, there will be war and war, car l'Empereur a offence mon frere jusques au sang." Asked about the prothonotary of St. Pol, of whom he wrote before. She answered (praying that it might be kept secret), that he was despatched. Said he heard that Orleans went into Piedmont. She said he did, and "would fain be doing," and that the duke of Cleves was ready and "tarried but a good hour." Has given as well as he can remember all his conversation with these personages, and asks pardon if he has not answered wisely, for he is inexperienced and was taken by surprise. The occurrents of this Court are as follows :—The King is "cross sailed to war, but he saith your Majesty holdeth the helm in your hand." The duke of Cleves has ready 4,000 horse and 16,000 foot. Mons. de Langey, to-morrow or next day, returns to Piedmont, and Mons. d'Orleans follows soon after. They are much afraid in Franche Comté. The bp. of Rome travails much for peace, his ambassador being in Court daily, and he offering to come to a conference at Avignon. Grandvela embarked at Genoa, for Spain, and sent forward a brigantine to scour the seas, which was chased back by galleys of Marseilles; whereupon, Grandvela sent to the French King for a safe conduct, but the Admiral replied that none was necessary. Encloses copy of edicts which Grandvela made at Senes. The French King has sent Piers Strotz to Maran, nominally to entreat 'or two months' respite before the town is delivered to the Turk, but really to aid it against King Ferdinand, who has begun the siege and sent the bp. of Trent to expostulate with the Venetians for consenting to the surprise. One Beltramo, a merchant, in whose vessels and by whose device Turchetto and Germanico took the town, has been expelled from it. The Admiral's process shall be revoked and rased out of the rolls as if it had never been. Madame Miolana and two other Spanish ladies are banished out of the Court,—for speaking ill of Madame d'Estampes, the common saying is, but really for intelligence with the Emperor's ambassador. The card, of Turnon is restored to favour by Madame d'Estampes and the queen of Navarre, who lately played a farce before him, in which the players were the King's daughter, Madame d'Estampes, Madame de Nevers, Madame Montpensier, and Madame Belley.
