	Informed him, by Verdellet and the courier he despatched after the King Catholic's embarkation, of all that he then knew. According to orders he has taken means to go by land, to learn the news since the departure of Charles. The towns have revolted, proclaimed the Queen, and appointed others in place of the royal delegates; have occupied the castles, refused the subsidy granted by some of their deputies at the court of Cologne, the export of money from Spain, and the giving offices to strangers. Valentia and Catalonia have refused to obey Mendosa the viceroy, and Arragon John de la Nusse. Does not see how peace can be restored without your aid. Arrived at Bordeaux in the evening. Has had an attack of fever. Hopes to start on Wednesday to go to his correspondent, and give him more ample information. Waits for the personages he left behind. Bordeaux, Sunday, 1 July. Signed.

	Has transmitted his Excellency's answer to the overtures he sent him to communicate to the Emperor and Arschot. The King will always retain his fraternal mind to the Emperor, and will send to him Tunstal, master of the Rolls, who will not only have commission on that subject, but will accompany the Emperor to the Diet at Aix. He also sends Spinelly to follow the Imperial court. Thanks him for his friendly services to himself in relation to the bishopric of Badajoz, concerning which Spinelly will express his mind further.

July. Calig. D. VII. 236. B. M.	893. [SIR RICHARD WINGFIELD to HEN. VIII.]
	Arrived on Friday last at the monastery of Fremonstyer, near the forest of Crecye, where Francis after hunting had returned and gone to bed to "refresh him." Between five and six he sent for Wingfield, who thanked him on the King's behalf for his cordial and loving letter sent by Bryon, which had dispelled his pensiveness "for the new departure from him." To what Wingfield was newly commissioned to declare, Francis made answer: that he was sure Henry in his intended meeting with the King Catholic would not listen to any proposal to his prejudice,—that Don Prevost, who on taking leave of him to visit his [master], told him that he had perceived a great amity had arisen between "your said good brother and your highness;" which Francis acknowledged, saying that he honored Henry for his high virtues, and had such trust in him that at his r[eturn] from Tirwan he would have ridden in post to Calais to see him, if he had not failed of provision of horse; and on the other expressing some surprise, added, "Don Prevost, marvel not hereat, for I [tell] you by the faith of a gentleman that not only I would go to [him] into his town of Calais, but upon the least desire which he ca[n make] me, go to him into his city of London. With the which his s[aid answer] he found the said Don Prevost marvellously abashed." He had sent orders to all his ports to treat English merchants well. Wingfield thinks similar orders should be given in England for the reception of French merchants. Cannot express "all the pleasant and loving devices whi[ch he made to] me of your highness kneeling by his bedside by t[he space of an] hour and more." Thinks he feels very cordially towards Henry, and will be to him the most faithful friend in Christendom.
	On his way to the King, Wingfield had an interview with his mother at Rue, and desired her that she would always keep Henry, "her new acquested son," in remembrance; for which she thanked him with a joyful countenance, and said that he did her the highest honor that every lady received, to be mother to two the most perfect and accomplished princes that were ever in the world at once. She spoke of Francis's intended expedition to Milan, and said he intended leaving the government of his realms in Henry's hands till his return, to show his confidence in him. Presented his fellows ... and note to the King on Friday after his arrival, to whom after supper he showed one band of his ... hounds. Next day he was in the forest hunting at six. Wingfield and his comrades are to be with him tomorrow night. He promises "to make their lodgings himself for to hunt on Tuesday [within] two leagues of Amiens." He left this afternoon for Pykyngye by water, accompanied by the Queen, my Lady, and Bryon, who arrived after dinner, and made an honorable report of Henry. Abbeville, ... July. Postscript too much mutilated to be intelligible.

1 July. Calig. D. VI. 235. B. M.	894. SIR RIC. WINGFIELD to [WOLSEY].
	Wrote to him last from Fremonstier, where he delivered to Francis Wolsey's two letters; "and first he opened the same written in French with your own hand, which he said to read more currently than he could do his own, wherefore he heartily desire you to write unto him from henceforth in French, though it might be somewhat painful to your grace." He expressed his delight at the love and friendship Wolsey bore him, and doubted not that "nother at this interview now shortly to be had, nor in none other place where other the King's highness or your grace shall be, he nor any of his affairs can take any harm. And said further, the King his good brother and he were two of the happiest princes of this world, the one to have such a subject and servant as your grace was, and he to have of you so perfect a friend and prudent counsellor; so that he thought verily both they and their causes, being manyed and ordered by you, could not fail to have glorious and prosperous success. And for conclusion said that your grace had of your sovereign lord the best master of Christendom, and of him the best friend;" and further promised Wolsey a much greater recompence than any remembrance he had yet made him for the trouble he had taken to effect the amity, "which he counteth to be to him the greatest treasure that ever prince had." "And your grace shall further know that he ke[pt] me kneeling by his bedside the space of one hour and more, devising of the King's highness and your grace, whereof more at lar[ge at] this time I do advertise the King's said highness.
	"And this da[y I had] communication with him, being present only Mons. de Lescue, [and he] showed me that he intended to pass the mountains into hy[s duchy of] Milan before All Hallow tide, and that he doubted not ... fro thence that the Pope's holiness and he might ... Bononye. At which time, if it ... your grace might be there to join w ... what with their both authorities and credits ... that there might be such ... for the estate of the Church as should be honorable ... for the said to know the Pope to [be of such a] nature that if he were well handled by a man of your gr[ace's wisdom] and reputation after your round and plain fashion, his said Holiness would not fail to condescend to all tha[t you] required. Notwithstanding, he said, he would not attempt or ... in this or any other affair of like importance without th[e King] his good brother's consent, advice and counsel."
	The same day he departed from C[alais] Wingfield met the Marsha Chastelion returning towa[rds] ..., who told him he was commissioned to provide the King a lodging there, "and my Lady a[nd the] King here both have verified unto me the same; so wyd[er your] grace will that ] should speak for the laying down of th ... of the said Arde, considering that they intend to [make] the said lodging against another veue or no, I desire [to know] your grace's pleasure by your next writings And as concerning [the matter of] Couswade, I shall not fail to be in hand with the Admiral as [soon as] I shall see time convenient. And for that the King here hath [remembered] my lord of Devonshire, it should be well done that the King['s grace did] remember Mesyeres, who is in the King's chamber here, [and in] singular good favor with him." Should have written sooner, but since his coming to this town has had no leisure. "At Abevyle, the fy[rst day of] July."
	"I beseech your grace to have me in your loving remembrance, [in such] wise that my return may be to avaicte upon your g[race at your] voyage to Wallsyngham." Signed.

2 July. Calig. D. VII. 233. B. M.	895. The LORD OF THE COUNCIL to WOLSEY.
	His letters of 26 June, informing them of the coming hither of the three gentlemen of France, were received on Thursday morning last, St. Peter's eve. The gentlemen themselves arrived in the evening, and, notwithstanding the short warning, were banqueted by the mayor of London in Cheepsyde, where they saw the watch, which they greatly commended. Next day Lord Barnes was sent to welcome them; they were received by the Mayor at dinner, visited the Hospital of Savoy, and the King's chapel at Westminster, well accompanied on horseback. The Abbot went with them, [and] "entreteigned them with right goodly chere ... sage required upon a Fryday; and on S[aturday] following" one of the Sheriffs made them a "goodly dinner," and about noon they went to Richmond, as the tide was convenient, with the lords Barnes and Darcy, where they visited the Princess. After communication had, "goodly chere was made unto them ... strawberries, wafers, wine and ypocras in plenty. The same night the other sheriff of London made unto them a goodly supper." Yesterday, Sunday, my lord of Norfolk received them at dinner. Today they mean to see the Tower, and take their departure. Have written to the King, thanking him for his advertisements of the goodly acts and pastimes in those parts, as Wolsey will perceive by the enclosed copy of their letter. At W[estminster], 2 July.

Calig. D. VII. 231. B. M.	896. [The LORDS OF THE COUNCIL to HENRY VIII.]
	Have received his letters, dated at the Castle of Guisnes on the 22nd inst. [June], informing them of the "joyous meeting and interview of your grace and the French King, the like whereof heretofore have not been brought to such effect and purpose by any other your noble progenitors," and of the confidence shown by Francis in repairing to Guisnes Castle and putting himself in Henry's hands. Trust that this interview will be to the advancement and increase of the honor of his realm, for the quiet of Christendom and to the pleasure of God, considering that the King has been pleased to have your causes and matiers at this season concluded ... plenary remission, and with full mind and purpose ... [to] edifie a chapel in the name of our Blessed Lady." They thank Henry for informing them of these things, and recommend that Te Deum be ordered in honor of the event. Since last writing they have sundry times visited the Princess, who is in good health, increasing in wit and virtue as in years. The kingdom is in "good tranquility." They give attendance [constantly] in Council and order causes according to the laws. Have no news either from Ireland or Scotland.
	Since this was written, on the 28th June, St. Peter's even, came the [three] gentlemen of France of whose arrival they had notice from the Cardinal; and on Saturday "after dinner, as tide [was commodious] for them, they being well accompanied by [the lord Barnes], lord Darcy and other," visited the Princess at Richmond. There were with her divers lords spiritual and temporal; and in the Presence chamber, besides the lady governess (countess of Salisbury) and her other gentlewomen, the duchess of Norfolk, her three daughters, the lady [Margaret], (fn. 1) wife to the lord Herbert, countess of Worcester, the ladies Grey and Neville, the lord John's wife, and others. She welcomed the French "gentlemen with most goodly countenance, proper communication, and pleasant pastime in playing at he virginals, that they greatly marvelled and rejoiced the same, her young and tender age considered." They then returned to London. Since their arrival they have been accompanied by the said lords Barnes and Darcy and others; they have also been received by the mayor and sheriffs of London, the abbot of Westminster, and afterwards by the duke of Norfolk.

2 July. R. O.	897. JULIUS CARDINAL DE MEDICI to WOLSEY.
	Has received his letters dated at the Castle of Guisnes, 13th of last month. Is glad that Wolsey has such a high opinion of the Auditor of the Chamber, as his many virtues and great experience with the Pope deserve. He knows the Pope's wishes for the common welfare of Christendom, and will declare to Wolsey his commission. Desires nothing more than general tranquillity, and will gladly serve Wolsey in any private or public matters. Florence, 2 July 1520. Signed: Ju. Vicecancell'.

	For several days has not written to Wolsey, but sent the news to Florian his secretary, knowing how occupied he must be during this meeting of the Kings. Writes now to tell him what was done today at the Consistory. After the translation of Peter Mote from the see of Pax (Badajos) to Palencia, the administration of the former, with the retention of York and Bath, was granted to Wolsey, as proposed by cardinal Sanctorum Quatuor, according to the Emperor's wish, and the annates of all the three are condoned. The bishop of Worcester has done much towards effecting this Advises him to write and thank the Pope and Cardinals. The 15,000 or 16,000 ducats thus condoned are a mark of their good will. Some expense will be incurred in the expedition of the letters. Commends to him his secretary Florian. Rome, 4 July 1520. Signed.

	Has presented his letters. The King expressed himself in most favorable terms towards Wolsey. As he attended my Lady to mass the same day, she told me she was advertised "that the King ... should desire the interview to be prolonged unto the xx ... of this present month; whereto she thought verily t[hat neither the] King's highness nor your grace would assent; but she looked ... arriving of St. Marshall to have more ready and per[fect] knowledge." Shortly after, he the Admiral, Lautrec and Dorval dining together, the said Marshal arrived, and was taken aside by the Admiral and Robert Tette (Robertet). The Admiral showed him Wolsey's letter, and said his master would be highly pleased with the tidings from Henry. The King is not at Amiens, but hunting two leagues off in the forest "...thankfully he received and heard thes[e]...y recueil which he hath made to the said Master Care[we t]o be reported by him." Begs Wolsey will remember his letter [from] Fremonstier for some reward to be given to Me[ssyers] of the King's Chamber, such as the lord of Devonshire had; "otherwise the King's highness sh[all] not have presented so many of the King's chamber here as ... hath done of his."

6 July. Galba, B. VI. 177. B. M.	903. SPINELLY to WOLSEY.
	Yesterday morning, at four, the Emperor left Ghent, and arrived in the evening at Odenborg, three leagues on this side Bruges. Tonight he will lie at Dunkirk, and dine tomorrow at Gravelines. The Archduchess is half a day's journey behind, and will be tonight at Newport. No news from the Bishop of Elna since the lord Marquis left Brussels, who detained all his letters, and never wrote till his arrival at Gravelines. The governor of Bresse says they suspect the French King's tarrying at Boulogne is for some hope of being called to the meeting. Last night the Marquis sent word of his arrival at Calais, and honorable reception by the duke of Buckingham, the lord Marquis and others, and that he was to dine with Wolsey yesterday. The chief obstacle to peace is the French jealousy of the Emperor's going to Rome, on which the Emperor is determined, as also are the Electors. The lady of Vendôme and the Duchess her daughter-in-law came to Ghent with the cardinal of Bourbon, the night before we left, for what purpose we cannot tell. The commotions in Spain have ceased, and each town has sent to the cardinal of Tortosa, saying they have punished their deputies according to their demerits. Odenborg, Friday, 6 July 1520.

9 July. R. O.	905. SIR RIC. WINGFIELD to WOLSEY.
	Wrote yesterday. This morning the Admiral told him he had received a letter from the seigneur de la Batye, saying that the seigneur de Schewers had arrived in Calais, with other persons from the King Catholic, containing also Wolsey's assurance that the French king should "be advertised from time to time of all that shall be entreated" between the King and the said lord Schewers. De la Batye also writes that the Queen, being with the King at supper, said that the King her nephew, immediately after the view, intended to go to Rome for his coronation; to which the King answered, "that in case the King her nephew would be advised by his loving friends, that his affairs might have the better and more prosperous success. And if he would follow the appetites of such glorious as would counsel him to pass by force to his said coronation, that he might find cause to repent him, for he should not fail in so doing to constrain his highness to do all the aid that the King his good brother would desire of him, for the resisting of his said passage by force;" which words "the King here has taken most joyously," as the King and Wolsey will see by the letters sent to them by this bearer. Asks that he may return to wait on Wolsey to Walsingham, or else that he may be partner of such news "whereof the hearing and knowledge may be pleasant and acceptable to this Prince." Chantilly, 9 July.

	"Copia et exemplum cujusdam tractatus initi inter Cæsaream majestatem et serenissimum dominum nostrum regem Henricum VIII. tempore conventus utriusque regum apud Graveling et Caletum."
	In consequence of the new position of Charles as Emperor elect, and the meeting of the two sovereigns, it has been resolved that there shall be this renewal of their treaties, which is to take the place of all others. 1. All former treaties renewed, especially that of 1516, in which prince Ferdinand is to be included. The same to extend not only to the actual possessions of the king of England and to those which were then due to him, but to those which may accrue to him hereafter. 2. Both Powers to have the same enemies and the same friends. Offence or injury to the one to be repelled by the other as done to himself. 3. In case of invasion, neither party to desist until the aggrieved has recovered his rights. 4. If a captain or lieutenant of another state employed by the one do injury to the other contrahent, the one who employs him shall make satisfaction on demand within a month's time. 5. Neither party to enter into treaty with any prince without the consent of the other; and if any treaties exist or hereafter be made contrary to the effect of this, they shall be invalid without the consent of both. 6. Intercourse between the two states to be in conformity with the arrangements made on the 11th April.

12 July. R. O.	909. Extract from a letter of the BISHOP OF WORCESTER to VANNES, dated Rome, 12 July.
	Benet says he has received the King's letters to urge the cardinalate for Worcester. The Pope wishes to make sure of the King's intentions, and has enjoined his nuncio to discover the King's wishes. If this be favorable, the matter will take effect next September. He is urged to do this because he has been persuaded by the Casali that the letters have been extorted from the King. They take occasion to earwig the Pope. Has advised the nuncio to communicate with Vannes.

13 July. R. O.	912. STEPHEN [PONCHER] ARCHBISHOP OF SENS to WOLSEY.
	Have received your letters and the King's letters to the Pope, recommending me, for which I am very grateful. Saluted the King and his mother on your behalf; both of whom, as well as the duchess of Alençon, your daughter by adoption, as it is said, desired to be commended to you. The King was very unwilling to leave Henry's company and come here, and intends, now that they are so far apart to send frequent messengers and letters. Christendom owes much to you for establishing friendship between the two Kings. Though I owe you so much, I do not hesitate to ask another favor,—that you would write in my behalf to the Cardinals, especially to cardinal de Medici, the Vice-chancellor, who has the greatest influence with the Pope. If you will send me the letters, I will forward them to him at Rome or Florence. St. Germain, 13 July.

July. Calig. D. VII. 238. B. M.	913. SIR RICHARD WINGFIELD to [WOLSEY].
	Sent his last by De la Rochepott. Is now at Poissy. Visited the King at St. Germain's. He had received news from La Battye of the meeting between Henry and Charles, and of the entire amity between himself and the former, who rode at the meeting a courser Francis had given him, and "suche abillements as hys said good brother had sente him." At the said meeting he was told the visage and countenance of Henry appeared not "to be so replenysshyd with joye" as they were at the meeting with Francis. After he had heard mass and dined, the King had an interview in his gallery with the Venetian ambassador; whom he greatly commended, saying, "after Messire Andrea Grettye, he had no fellow." Desired him to express to the seignory how much they were bound to the King's highness, "in that he had taken upon him the protection of the Italies against such as might intend to [disturb] the peace or quiet thereof." He thought that the King Catholic was at present in such necessity, that great advantages might be extorted from him [for the peace of Christendom]. He also thought good "that the King his good brother, and he and your grace should handle the Pope, saying to know him to be at some season the fearfullest creature of the world, and at some other to be as brave, and said to be advertised and to know perfectly that the Pope not only suspected, but also had some doubt and fear of the great and entire amity concluded and taken by the means of your grace between him and the King's highness." They should tell his Holiness this was done chiefly at his suggestion, and that these two princes, as the chief pillars of Christendom, wished to set a good example by obeying his exhortations. If they two managed his Holiness, and proffered him assistance at all times, as obeisant children of the Church, he would not be of fear inclined to be hasty in acceding to the requests of the King Catholic, and that it would be more honorable, in reference to the Emperor's investiture at Rome, to be obliged to them than to the Pope. He wished instructions to this effect should be sent to the English ambassadors at Rome,—that their two ambassadors should consult in all things together. After a conversation of an hour and a half, he told Wingfield, "If the King Catholic were a Prince of like faith unto the King his good brother, and that he might perceive fro you that his coming thither might be the cause of any good conclusion between them, that he would not fail to come in post, and not to have looked for rank or place to him belonging, but would have put him into the King's chamber as one of the number of the same; which his gentle mind and heart me thought necessary to place in this my writing." Robertet told him that a post goes this day to the Cardinal, empowering him in the French King's name to give letters to La Battye "for his room of one of the Chamberlains ordinary," as a mark of his respect.
	Brings to his notice that "Messyers of the Kyng's chambre here is the only one unrewarded, as he had advertised him from Fremonstier. Poissy, ...
	Begs that thanks may be given to Rochepott for the kindness shown by him to Wingfield. The "clokks" of which his Highness spoke, he will not fail to bring. Signature half burnt.
