June 1515



16 June. R. O. Rym. XIII. 511.	587. FRANCIS I. to HENRY VIII.
	Notification of the acceptance by Scotland of the treaty made between France and England, 5 April 1515. Amboise, 16 June 1515. Seal.
16 June. Adv. MS. 438.	588. SCOTLAND and DENMARK.
	"Mandata et articulorum capita Johannis Ducis Albaniæ, etc., Regis Scotorum tutoris, et regni Scotiæ Protectoris et Gubernatoris, ad illustrissimum Daciæ, Norvegiæ etc. regem, suo caduceatori et heraldo Norge, sextodecimo Junii, anno decimo quinto supra millesimum et quingentesimum, credita et commissa."
	To thank the King for his sympathy with the troubles through which Scotland has passed. To thank the peers and councillors for advising the King to send a remonstrance to the King of England. To show the true reasons for joining the truce for three years with England and France; that it was not, as Christiern writes, in consequence of the tender age of the King. Francis made a treaty with England on 5 April last, naming the Scotch and Danes as confederates. The Scotch were given three months to decide, during which time abstinence of war between England and Scotland was proclaimed. Their late successes in war induced them to refuse; but the absence of the Governor, the admonitions of the Pope's ambassadors, who had stayed a whole year in Scotland, and letters from Christiern, dated 10 April, advising them to defer their revenge for the late King till matters at home were more settled, all combined to make them accept the comprehension.—Is to warn the merchants of Bergen and other Danish ports to desist from molesting the Scotch at sea and elsewhere. The goods of the inhabitants of Könisberg, which were detained at St. Andrew's, have been restored. As to the Orkney Isles (which the King writes should be soon redeemed), acknowledging the Abp. of Drontheim (Mydiosensis, qu. Nidrosiensis ?), and observing the Danish treaties, will attend to it as soon as the country is quiet and factions less violent. Asks him to send ambassadors to France. Antony Darses Lord La Baty is now in Scotland. He has attended to the King of Denmark's interests there and in France, and will be sent by Francis to Denmark. The French King has sent letters confirmed with the Great Seal to show his wish for a renewal of the old treaty between the three kingdoms; and Christiern would do well to entrust full powers to the ambassadors whom he will send to Scotland to confirm it. Edinburgh, 4 June 1515.

	The Lord Vandome ... with ... ambassadors have gone to the Prince. By a letter of the Audiencer, dated Arlem, in Holland, 12th inst., it appears that new difficulties have been started in the matters of Friesland. Gueldres is intractable. The Scotch ship of Dandernesse has arrived. Moray and Albany are good friends, but as the former is not popular in Scotland they wend different ways. It is said the Scotch will not allow the Queen to have any rule except the keeping of her children. They have taken a Flemish ship, saying it belongs to the Irish. Bruges, 17 June. Signed.

	The French have deferred their journey into Italy, as the Swiss [have taken] a stronghold in Savoy, which delays their passage. According to their slanderous manner, [their] "false faithed enemies the Englishmen co ... were passing over the mountains with the pou ... had assembled a host of men, suddenly to ... wherefore they are compelled to revoke [their powers]." Garrisons are posted in different parts of Picardy, so that Tournay is in danger. Has written several times of a prebend void in Tournay. Bruges, 17 June 1515.

That in accordance with the King's letters, dated 6 June 4 Hen. VIII., he has kept espialls in Scotland for three years, the sum of whose extra charge amounts to _ (blank in MS.), but as he owes the King for the farm of Penrith 132l. 7s. 4½d., at the rate of 44l. 2s. 5½d. per ann., will be glad to pay the balance of the account to John Heron.

22 June. Vit. B. II. 185. B. M.	606. [TH. COLMAN] to WOLSEY.
	It is a true saying that the Germans are tipplers, the French unchaste, the Spaniards thieves, the Scots perfidious, the Danes bloodthirsty [tr ... ] The Emperor Maximilian is a good instance of the first, he tipples up wine and he tipples up all the money he can get. His forefathers have done the same, as is shown by instances in English history. History bears the same testimony to the flattery and frauds of the French, of which Francis is a proof in the way he has acted touching the dowry of Mary the French Queen. The King of Arragon makes promises which he never keeps. The Scots are perfidious to the King of England, to whom they owe obedience, and the Abp. of York, who is their patriarch. Bologna, x. kal. Quintiles, 1515. [Sig. burnt off.]

	"[Please it] your grace to [understand] that this one and [twentieth day of this month ... ] De la Nuca, ambassador here for the King of Arragon, did come [to] us, and said that he received letters from his master, w[ho said] he was informed by John Stile of the sending of us your ambassadors into these parts," at which he was much pleased. He assured them that no prince was more desirous of an alliance with England, or more willing to do his pleasure. He says that the French ambassador is most anxious to induce the Emperor to join the peace lately concluded between them and the Prince, and if the league were renewed between England and Arragon the French influence would decline. Two couriers have been despatched to the French King, desiring him to use his influence in England to persuade the King to join with Arragon. "And in this communication he demanded of us whether there were any of o [ur] nation named the White Rose. We answered that there was one that the Frenchmen called so. Then he said that it was spoken amongst the foresaid band and ambassadors that it were better for them to do that should be done in time than to tarry too long. And he saith that he cannot interpret these diffuse words otherwise than that if these men may attain to their purpose, they mind to cause your grace to have business within your own realm." Poynings had written to the King and my Lord of York touching Richard de la Pole, and is anxious to know if the King will have the said enterprise undertaken, for which frequent suit has been made to him, and, if so, how he is to demean himself towards the parties. Vandome, the Bishop of Paris and Mons. de Chenei the French ambassador, arrived on the 18th, and are well entertained.

	Complains of a slander thrown out against the English Commissioners. Told the Provost of Cassell that if the Prince's Commissioners had been sitting in England, the King would not have allowed them to be so ignominiously treated. No one will exercise jurisdiction in Tournay, because they would in effect be banished, as they must have recourse to this country and to France. If Wolsey's title were sufficiently strong to be justified before noble men, would do the best to set it forward. Bruges, 24 June 1515.

Begs him to send the names of those merchants who complain, and the nature of their complaints. Will make an example of the offenders. Similar complaints exist in France. He who is accountable for Wolsey's pension must make his excuse; "et sans la quictance la partye eust este roy ... comptes; car il nappert point de l'ordonnance que dictes avoir este [fait par le] Roy Loys."

	Wrote last on the ... from Insbrok. On the 14th left by the Emperor's command for this place, where he arrived on the ... after a troublesome journey, in consequence of the "foul ways" owing to the "melting of the snows." In the duchy of ... but a day's journey from Lynce, much damage has been done within a compass of fifty or sixty miles; and a poor husbandman, seeing all his corn and fruit destroyed, hung his five children and attempted to hang his wife; but she escaped, and on her return with assistance found he had hanged himself.—This day the Emperor arrived, and is to be at Vienna on 2 July, where the ambassadors are to go and meet him, which will be a matter of difficulty and expence, as the country is under water. "Where in my said letter of the 11th I advertised your gr[ace of the] things that the Pope had written to the Duke of M ... to pass forthwith their enterprise of Geeny[s] ... "would not enter into the league or deliver hos[tages] ... the news be that where the said Duk[e] ... 1,000 Swissers were ... (here some lines are lost) ... erfore now the said army is passed into ... the passages, and the Pope's army is going thither." Francis is said to be at Lyons with a marvellous army, "and by likelihood in trust that the said French army [may] have passed the mountains with more ease than it seemeth now, the [Ven]etians' army, under the conduct of Bartholomew Dalviane, advanced themselves out of Pado and be at Vyncence, and the Viceroy with the Emperor's army have made such diligence that he is now betwixt them and home, so that by the next post we shall not fail to hear of a battle, or else the Venetians must remove right craftily; and if so be they strike battle and be vanquished, the hope they have had of France is like enough to lead them to such other rewards as have been given to the Kings of Scots and Navarre, which is the peculiar reward of France to all such as be abused by them."—There is no more news.

Vit. B. II. 150. B.M.	647. [SYL. BP, OF WORCESTER to WOLSEY.]
	The Pope has commanded him to write a letter in common to Wolsey and Fox. He is endeavoring to see how, salva fide, he can create Wolsey a cardinal by himself or otherwise. Is anxious to know the state of matters between France and England, and the terms of peace between the two kingdoms. The French threaten the Duke of Milan and the King of Arragon, and proclaiming the marriage between the Prince of Castile and the sister of the French Queen, call him King of Castile and offer to assist him to gain instant possession. Not long since, the Duke of Savoy told the Pope that the same lady was offered to him, and he had been requested to renounce his claim to her and to all rights in Britanny, with the offer of Milan; to which the Pope answered that, as the French asserted the present Queen would die in childbed, many thought that poison was prepared for her. The King of Portugal has written to the Pope, requesting his aid to obtain Henry's sister Mary for his eldest son, and begs Wolsey will submit the matter to the King. Discredits the asseveration of the French that she is married already to Suffolk, as he has heard nothing of it from Wolsey. Wishes also to know whether the interview will take place between Henry and Francis, and thinks it unadvisable that the Prince of Castile should be inducted into his kingdom by the French. Begs Henry will nominate one of his ambassadors now at Rome, in whom the Pope may confide. Has written to Wolsey of the Pope's conversation of sending him a small present of 1,000 crowns on the part of the Duke of Milan. Had not received the money from the Pope: told him of it, when the Pope wished he had said nothing about it, as the Duke had not paid the money and they had heard no more. The Duke is grown very arrogant since the death of Lewis XII. The Pope has seen certain letters of Polydore Vergil of the 10th Feb. to Cardinal Hadrian, very abusive of Wolsey.

Vit. B. II. 152. B.M.	648. [WOLSEY to BP. OF WORCESTER.]
	*** "..for my preferment, but afore God it is not so; but [from a sense of my] duty, and for the great love that I bear to his holiness an[d that I] would have the King fast to him." The King has always been a friend to the Pope and his alliance ought not to be lightly thrown away. Writes by the King's express commandment. He is to mark the Pope's determination, and send word of it immediately "and plainly to advertise me." The King will be greatly displeased if his desires are not regarded, as he is a better friend to the Church than all other Princes. Has shown many things to Mr. And[reas Ammonius] to be disclosed to the Pope. "From my place beside Westminster, &c."

	"... briefness of time ... yet we could not a ... for a letter to be sent to the King ..." They will execute the sentence upon the merchants at the expiration of the time limited. If the King command his merchants to abstain from their ports they will soon be brought to reason. Yesterday, when the Venetian ambassador late in England congratulated the Prince on the assumption of his lands, desiring the continuance of the peace between Burgundy and Venice, he was anwered that the Prince marvelled how he dared enter his country without a passport, and they must be reconciled to the Emperor before they had amity with him.
