May 20. Sanuto Diaries, v. liv. pp. 544, 545.	671. The Mantuan Ambassador at Rome to the Duke of Mantua.
	The Cardinal d'Aigremont and the Duke of Albany had a long conference with the Pope. The Pope says the Emperor and the King of France are on excellent terms, and will have an interview: that there is no thought in France of making war, or of creating disturbance in Italy. The Council is to be held at Turin.
	For the quiet of Christendom and the maintenance of friendship with the King of England, who has always been obedient to the Apostolic See, his most Christian Majesty is desirous that the divorce case should be tried in a place where it could be treated more to the King's satisfaction than at Rome; and he proposes Cambrai as a town which is subject neither to Spain nor to France; and his Holiness might send his commissioners to hear the parties concerning these matters.
	The Cardinal dilated on these topics, and also on the marriage of the Pope's niece to the second son of the most Christian King, who seems very well inclined towards it.
	Rome, 20th May. Registered by Sanuto 30th June.
