Christopher Munt to the Same.
1568–9, Feb. 10. I last wrote on the 27th of January. On the 7th of February John William, Duke of Saxony, crossed the Rhine with 3,000 horse, and is marching straight into France. The Rhinegrave also, and the other masters of the horse, who have raised as many as 2,000 horse in the Bishoprics of Treves and Mayence, also hasten to the King. Where Condé is with his forces, and what they are at, we know not for certain, for the ways are long and perilous. The compact of Fulda yet holds, at any rate up to now; we do not know what is doing there. There is a report that the empire is sending an embassy to compose the war in France, but there will, it seems, be more delay than is good. The Bavarian marriage will take place very shortly. The mother and the bride went last week to Bavaria. It is said the emperor's brothers will be present and the other princes. This marriage of Bavaria to the lady of Lorraine, will it is thought lead to others: namely one between the King of France himself and the Emperor's second daughter. The Bishop of Rennes certainly moved in the matter in the meetings at Augsburg (Comitiis Augustanis), and this is thought to be the reason for the Emperor's slackness for recovering the lands wrested from the empire. Their restoration would be a like case to that of Cales. The sword is the best prayer to win a boon from a king.—Argentina, 10 February, ao 68.

The President of the North and the Earl of Northumberland.
[Before 1569, Nov.] Brief of uncourteous dealings of the Lord President of the North against the Earl of Northumberland. More than twelve months past the Earl was forced to seek redress of the Council against the President. He was advised by some of them, for the quiet of the country, to welcome the President home on his return from London with courteous words. This he did, yet the President not only continued his former froward dealings, but charged the Earl to be a maintainer of Papistry. The Earl, as the steward of the liberties of Richmondshire, guardian of the Queen's forests, chases and parks, and master of her game, has had discretion to punish offences therein: but this discretion being now taken away by the President, the game is wasted, the country in less good order. As instances, particulars are given of the cases of Mathew Metcalf, a late keeper of Raydell: of two brothers Harrison, who detained a ward's property: and of William Gowerley and Thomas Gelderde, committed to Middleham Castle for killing does in Wanlans Park: in all which cases the Earl's authority was overridden by the President.—Undated.
