	Yesterday the Emperor removed from the fort, where he was staying, in the direction of Ayre, to the Abbey of St. John, nearer the town. Henry also moved his camp to the other side of the town, where it was easiest for the French to approach it. The garrison to-day desired a parley, and the Emperor sent to them Sir Robert Wieffing (Wingfield) and Mons. de Vertain to hear what they had to say. They proposed to deliver up the town provided that the men at arms and inhabitants might be allowed to depart with their property. During this parley the French made an attack on the king's camp, and accordingly it was broken off to repulse them. Hopes the town will be given up to-morrow. The Emperor's arrival and pressing of the siege induced the above parley. He is now mounting horse to go and assist Henry. Will accompany him, and will send news of anything that happens.

	At 9 a.m. was concluded the treaty with the French in Therouenne, under which, about midday, they left the town, under safe conduct, with bag and baggage, mounted and armed, lance on thigh and ensigns furled (ployées deans les fourreaux). The foot likewise. Those townsmen who wished to go with them went, with their goods. The rest of the inhabitants will make oath to the King of England and be treated as his subjects. The Emperor and the King of England were in arms with most of their army both horse and foot, ranged, the horse on the one side and the foot on the other, while the French passed between, by two and two, the baggage going first, then the French foot, 3,000, then the lansknechts who numbered 200 men of arms well mounted and armed. Those who understand such things and have viewed the town say that if the French had had the courage to defend it it could not have been taken by assault. By order of the Emperor and King, the Count Tallebot has entered the town with 2,000 English foot, both to keep it and prevent pillage by English or Burgundians, and has closed the gates. The Emperor returned to sup and sleep in the abbey of St. Jehan, in his lodging, and the King and his army returned to camp. To-morrow morning the Emperor and King will be at mass in the great church of Therouenne. Has twice to-day solicited the Emperor to write to her his pleasure as regards the gentlemen with her, but he answers that he will write to-morrow. "Madame vous ne veistes oncques gens si gorgias que le roy d'Angleterre et son armée ont esté aujourd'huy; car ce n'estoit tout que drap d'or et campanes d'argent dorées a plusieurs." To-morrow the Emperor and King will settle what to do with this town. Would like now to return, as she orders, but it is impossible until the affair of the King Catholic is settled, which the Emperor has put in charge of him and others. The Emperor and King of England have been nine hours on horseback, and I with them. Abbey of St. Jehan, Tuesday, 23 Aug., about 6 p.m.

	Rejoices at his tidings. The victory hath been such she thinks nothing like it was ever seen before. Trusts all things shall follow as they have begun. Thanks him for his letters; begs he will continue them. Hopes the King will adhere to his resolution. "I think with the company of the Emperor, and with his good counsel, his grace shall not adventure himself so much as I was afeard of before." Thinks the meeting very honorable to the King. "The Emperor hath done everything like himself. I trust to God he shall be thereby known for one of the excellentist princes in the world, and taken for another man than he was before thought." With the King's consent, would like to be remembered to the Emperor. "Almighty God helps here our part as well as there." Thinks it is owing to the King's piety. Richmond, 25 Aug. Signed.

	According to the capitulation (fn. 3) which he mentioned in yesterday's letter, the King and the Emperor entered Terouenne at vespers. The Lords with them were all in cloth of gold and accoutred as if for a triumph. They alighted before the great church where a Te Deum was sung by the King's singers. After this the Emperor returned to Saint Omer and Henry to his camp. When the Emperor arrived here about 10 p.m. the people showed great joy, shouting "Autriche, Bourgongne!" He slept at the Abbey of Saint Bertin and heard mass this morning in the church. Received to-day her letters of the 24th. Has asked the Emperor to dismiss him, which he says he will do on the return of Hans Reyner who is sent to Henry. The French are at Montreuil. Will tell her on his return several matters which he cannot write, Saint Omer, Thursday, 25 Aug.

	The Emperor will send him to her on Renner's return. The Emperor set out yesterday from Terouenne for this town rather displeased. Will tell her the reason when he sees her. This afternoon Henry sent his almoner, who was with the Emperor alone for a long time; after which the Emperor decided to return to Terouenne to-morrow, and will despatch him thence. Wishes to tell her something which he cannot write. Ravestain came on Wednesday afternoon to the abbey of St. John to see the Emperor and was immediately despatched to Margaret, and will probably be at Lille to-morrow. He also visited the King, and went through Terouenne. St. Omer, Thursday, 25 Aug., 11 o'clock at night.

	Wrote last on the 20 inst. Since then my Lady was commanded by the Emperor to stop the wagons laden with harness from going into France—which she did. To-morrow she sends the Lord Berghis to the Emperor to know when she shall have leave to come to him. It is thought that some of the Emperor's servants will not be very glad of her coming, as they can rule him better in her absence. Is told that the ambassador of Aragon has made urgent requests to her "to find some way wherewith your grace to have the Duke of Longevile for to recover Peter of Navare, captain of the King of Aragon, being prisoner in France, and this in recompense of the 6,000 footmen that the said King asketh of your grace for to make war into France, which manner of doing me seemeth very subtle and full of cawtele." Lasschaw is here—good French and a crafty fellow. My Lady would be glad if he were sent into Burgundy, as the Emperor promised to Sir Robert Wyngfeld. He does no good here. Lord Berghis will visit the King. My Lady advises that no more money be given to Dissilstain, as he did not keep his former covenant. Understands that the Lord Walham has a great personage a prisoner, whom he hath not disclosed to the King, but keeps him to pledge the Lord Wassenaw, prisoner in Gueldres. Begs this information may not be disclosed. Lysle, 25 Aug. 1513. Signed.

On 16 Aug. 1,000 men of arms who went to succour Terouenne were defeated and Longueville was taken prisoner and the Bastard (fn. 4) and others killed. La Palisse was captured but freed himself and fled. Only 40 horsemen were lost. The French army. Duke of Gueldres not yet arrived.

27 Aug. Le Glay, Negoc. entre la France et l'Autriche, I., 544.	2208. LAURENT DE GORREVOD to MARGARET OF SAVOY.
	Henry and the Emperor met yesterday at Terouenne and had a long conversation. Henry says that he will refer all to his Council and then send an answer, for which Gorrevod is detained. Is ordered to return to-day to the camp with the archdeacon of Besançon and Bannissis to meet the bp. of Winchester and others of the king's council and the King Catholic's ambassadors. Will send her word of what is concluded. The Emperor came to Ayre to supper and afterwards held a council at which Ravestain, Fiennes, Lalain, Gorrevod and others were present. It was discussed whether Terouenne should be garrisoned or demolished, as Henry had left it to the Emperor to dispose of. After some discussion, it was concluded to demolish it. Henry will remain in the camp for some time to assist. Ravestain has set out for Bethune and will tell her all. Spoke about Petro de Navarre. The Emperor says it will be difficult. Has spoken of the carrack, and caused the letter she wrote him to be shown to Winchester by Maroton. The matter will be laid before the Council. Longueville, Clermont and the other prisoners taken by the English are sent to England. Henry wished for the prisoners taken by the Burgundians, but they would not give them up. The French have retired to Cressy near Montroeuil. Ayre, Saturday, 27 Aug., 8 o'clock in the morning.

	Has received her letter of the 26th. Berghes arrived this evening at Saint Omer. The Council of the King of England has not been able to attend to-day to the King Catholic's affair, on account of other business, but they will do so to-morrow. The Emperor has sent into Flanders and Artois for masons to demolish Terouenne. Thinks they will come willingly. There is a report that the King of France is dead. Does not believe it. Sent Maroton to the Bp. of Winchester for the answer to her letter concerning the carrack; but he only answered that Spinelly is charged to see to the affair. Four hundred English pioneers have commenced destroying "la porte du Saint Esprit." The chief English councillors will be here to-morrow, and some say that Henry will come in person.

The companions he left there were discharged by Mons. de Fiennes, who could not pay them. St. Omer, 27 Aug. 1513.

With the Signory the King of France is sincere. Venice, 28 Aug. 1513.
