October 1506



1 Oct. G. H. Arch. Vienna.	491. Henry VII. to Maximilian, King Of The Romans. Has been informed that Madame Margaret makes great difficulties about ratifying the treaty of marriage. It would not be a thing to be wondered at if he were to accept one of the great and honourable matches which are daily offered to him on all sides. Their friendship would not be dissolved thereby. Is not obliged to send assistance to Flanders, as the ratification, of the treaties of alliance and commerce are not even yet exchanged at Calais. Notwithstanding this, promises to send 1,000 archers, if necessary. Knows that King Philip, on the 22nd of September, had already sent the ratification from Spain to his Chancellor in Flanders. It is probable that the Counsellors in Flanders are enemies of this alliance.—Okyng, 1st October 1506. Addressed : "To the very high, very excellent, and very powerful Prince, Maximilian, King of the Romans, &c." French. pp. 3, in print. Printed in the Bibliothek des Literarischen Vereins in Stuttgart, vol. X. p. 253.
17 Oct. B. M. Egerton MS. No. 616. f. 32.	492. Princess Of Wales to the Queen Of Castile. (fn. 1) Since she last wrote has had some more attacks of fever. Is somewhat better now, and in better spirits. Thinks it right to let her know this.—17th October. Addressed : "To the most high and powerful Lady, the Queen, my Lady." Indorsed by Almazan : "To the Queen, my Lady, from the Lady Princess of Wales, 17th October 1506." Spanish. Holograph. p. ½. A translation printed in Wood's Letters of Royal Ladies.
18 Oct. G. H. Arch. Vienna.	493. Henry VII. to Maximilian, King Of The Romans. Condoles with him on the death of King Philip. Promises to remain his good friend, and the friend of the Prince of Castile, and to assist them in everything. If King Philip had lived, the treaties which he had concluded with him would have been carried out. Is still disposed to adhere to the arrangements and treaties which he had made.—Okyng, 18th October 1506. Addressed : "To the very high and powerful Prince, the King of the Romans." French, pp. 2, in print. Printed in the Bibliothek des Literarischen Vereins in Stuttgart, vol. X. p. 265.
18 Oct. G. H. Arch. Vienna.	494. Henry VII. to the Seigneur De Chievres. Sends his condolences on the death of King Philip. Has sent Francis Marsin, King-at-arms to the King of France, to request him not to occasion any trouble to Prince Charles. —Okyng, 18th October 1506. Addressed : "To our very dear cousin, &c., the Seigneur de Chievres." French. pp. 2, in print. Printed in the Bibliothek des Literarischen Vereins in Stuttgart, vol. X. p. 268.
28 Oct. S. E. T. c. I. L. 5. f. 82.	House at Fulham. 495. Henry VII. to Katharine, Princess Of Wales. Has received her letter of the 27th inst. from Eltham. Is pleased to hear that his last letter was so agreeable to her. The house at Fulham had been kept for the ambassadors of the King of Castile (Philip), who are expected. But as she wishes to go to it, and thinks it would improve her health to be so near him, the house at Fulham is certainly at her disposal, and the ambassadors shall be lodged elsewhere. If she prefer any other house, she has only to say so, and it will be kept for her. Is sorry that she is again in bad health. She must be cheerful. Will return in three or four days.—Windsor, (x)xviii. of October 1506. Addressed : "To the most illustrious Princess, Lady Katharine, Princess of Wales, my most beloved daughter." Latin. pp. 2.
31 Oct. G. H. Arch. Vienna.	496. Toison D'Or to Maximilian, King Of The Romans. Has been sent by the Council of Flanders to the King of England. Found that the King of England is a very warm friend of the King of the Romans. Knows that the French ambassadors are on their way to England, in order to offer to the King the daughter of the Duke of Angoulême in marriage. But the King of England has decided not to accept the proposal, as he still hopes to obtain the hand of the Duchess Margaret.—Malines, 31st October 1506. Addressed : "To the King of the Romans." French, p. 1, in print. Printed in the Bibliothek des Literarischen Vereins in Stuttgart, vol. X. p. 276.
