2 Oct. S.P. Hen. VIII., 9, f. 132. R.O.	3329. [5467.] SIR RICHARD WINGFIELD to WOLSEY.
	Received a letter yesterday from Mr. Sampson, Wolsey's chaplain, that the patents he obtained from the Archduchess in Wolsey's cause were not so special as needed. And he desires my lady to grant others more special and proclaim them at Ghent with the brief Apostolic. Will to-day take the advice of the President of the Privy Council therein. The French King supports the adverse party. Thinks Wolsey should obtain letters from the King desiring him to desist. Has written many letters of late, requesting the King's licence to return to Calais. Fears Wolsey has been too much occupied to attend to them. Brussels, 2 Oct.

3 Oct. Calig. D. VI., 196. B.M. Ellis, 2 S. I., 233.	3331. [5468.] C. EARL OF WORCESTER to [WOLSEY].
	According to Wolsey's last letter, dated at Sittingbourne, 27 Sept., had this day a long audience with the King; shewed him of the ambassador of Arong's (Aragon's) proposal, and the King's answer; which answer greatly pleased him, and he bade Worcester assure the King that he would make a similar one to the King of Aragon himself, "as he had showed my fellows and me before; and in like manner to the Emperor and the Prince of Castell whensoever they send to him. as he is credibly informed that they will shortly do. And he sware by the God that he believed on, that he would nowder meddle nor conclude amity nor entry in league, by way of marriage or otherwise, with any prince living, till he had spoken with the King, my master, and had his advice and counsel in the same." If this would not satisfy Henry, "he would make him any bond that he would, but his word should be as sure as any bond in the world." The King of Aragon had "sent him a blank seal to put in w[riting what he w]ould, and he sent it him again, and answered, tha[t he would n]ot meddle with him but as is aforesaid." He, moreover, repeated three times that whenever the King would have [the men] he is entitled to by the treaty, he should have [them], and as many more if it be his pleasure; also, that Henry should appoint as chief leader and ca[ptain] whom he would, either in England or in France, and he that would disobey him should die a shameful death; and while he lived he should do nothing to Henry's prejudice. "My Lord, I assu[re you] this word he spake as heartily as ever I saw any [man] speak."
	He then desired to know "wh[ere] the King's grace and he should see and speak together," and would not go further than Paris, or 10 leagues about, till he knew. "I answered him [as my] fellows and I had answered before; but [he desired] me that I would write to the King his [good brother] what time that he would appoint the [same he would keep and] would not fail, and also that he desireth him to [appoint] the place." As far as the writer can see, he wished it to be in Picardy, or between Boulogne and Calais, or in Normandy. As to Jane Popyncourt, Worcester would have showed him the bills signed, but he would hear no more of her, and said he wished she were brente, for Worcester and his fellows had shown him enough of her evil life; "that there should never man nor woman be about his wife, but such as should be at her contentation"; and that he had only spoken for Jane at the suit of Lord Longevile, as he told Worcester and his fellows before; "for he told him that the Queen loved and trusted her above all the gentlewomen about her; but if the King made her to be brent," he should think it a good deed. "My lord, I assure you he hath a [marvel]lous mind to content and please the Queen, and [above all] when he heard of her landing, which was this m[orning]. There is nothing can displease him, and [he has provided jewels] and goodly gear for her. There was in his ch[amber the bishop] of Paris, Robertett, and the General (fn. 1), and I; where [he showed] me the goodliest and the richest sight of jewels [that ever] I saw. I would never have believed it if I had not seen [it]." Never saw anything to equal "56 great pieces that I saw of diamonds and rubies [and] 7 of the greatest pearls that I have seen." The worst of the second sort of stones were valued at 2,000 ducats, and for 10 of the principal 100,000 ducats had been refused. All, the King said, was for her; "but merely (merrily) laughing [he said], My wife shall not have all at once, but at divers [times], for he would have many and at divers times kisses and thanks for them. I assure you he thinketh every [hour] a day till he seeth her. He is never well but [when he] heareth speak of her. I make no doubt but [she will have] a good life with him with the grace of God."
	Worcester having showed him Wolsey's ma[tter] (i.e. of Tournay), he said, "that the letter that was sent [was] unknowing to him, and so said Robertett before me; but at Paris it was made by the counsel and avise of the parliament for the maintaining of his right of his sovereignty of Flanders, and his mind was nor never shall be, to do that thing that should be to your hurt and displeasure, but do that in him is to do you honor and profit; and that if God give him life ye shall know, for he reputes you for one of his special loving friends, and desireth you to take no displeasure of that letter." He would even make the elect leave all his title and right to Wolsey, for the matter is yet in his hands. "And therewith toke me by the hand, being present Robertett and the General, and said that he knew well that I loved you; therefore he put the matter in my hands. If I would say that ye would have it, ye should have it, and bade me do therein as I would, for so it should be." Worcester heartily thanked him in Wolsey's name, and promised to advertise the latter thereof, when the French King added that he would write him a letter which Worcester should send; "but he in no wise woll w[rite] to my lady, (fn. 2) for he saith he will not w[rite to her, who, he] knoweth, loveth him not." Desires Wolsey's instructions how to proceed. Abbeville, 3 Oct.
	As he was about to close the letter the General brought him a letter to send to Wolsey, which is annexed to this. Also Robertet sent him word that the King's letter and one of his own were despatched separately to Mareny, bailly of Senly[s]. Signed.

6 Oct. Galba B. VIII., 207. B.M.	3339. SPINELLY to [WOLSEY].
	Fears the long tarrying of his servant is owing to Wolsey being displeased with him, from some untrue report made to him. Is ready to justify himself if he is accused. Wolsey will learn the news by the letter sent this day by the post. If the Emperor pretend the King has incurred a penalty by the breaking off of the marriage, he will be sure, with his excessive appetite for money, to attempt all ways to recover it, "with danger of his honour and dominions, and consequently of his hoyrs (heirs) and friends; howbeit I suppose these countries shall be [of] contrary [m]ind." Brussels, 6 Oct.
	P.S.—Hopes to learn the decision of the Privy Council here upon the Emperor's articles as soon as it is arrived at. "This letter was sealed and open."

6 Oct. S.P. Hen. VIII., 9, f. 134. R.O.	3340. [5475.] SIR ROBERT WINGFIELD to the COUNCIL.
	Begs an answer to his request contained in this letter, either by writing or by mouth to his nephew, John Brewce, the bearer. On 18 Oct. a year ago he departed from the King at Ypres in Flanders to join the Emperor, and received by his brother, Sir Richard, 200l., all of which he had spent in diets on 5 May last. Has since lived by borrowing "to my great unhartisease." Has frequently written to desire money and his discharge. Heard from Brian Tuke in June last that he had received 200l. for Wingfield from Sir John Dancy, and in August that he had paid it into the bank of Spynully, and would send the bill of exchange to Sir Thos. Spinelly. Has since written divers letters to both but had no answer. The necessity he is in seems not to the King's honour, even if it is meant as punishment for some offence. Has been more than 4½ years the King's ambassador. By the death of Edmund de la Pole he has forborne the chief thing, and all that he had to serve the King with, "as well of the King his father's gift as of his." The office of high marshal at Calais has been occupied in his name a whole year without profit to himself. Innsbrook, 6 Oct. 1514.
	Hol., pp. 3. Add.
6 Oct. Ven. Transcr., 176, p. 150. R.O.	3341. DOGE AND SENATE OF VENICE to BADOER.
	6 Oct. 1514.—Received his two letters of 14 Sept. Have written whenever matter worthy of the King's knowledge offered. Enclosed on 28 Aug. the copy of their letter of congratulation to the King upon the peace and marriage; and afterwards, on 30 Aug., wrote of their victory at Crema, where they routed Signor Silvio Savello with 300 lances and 2,000 foot, and captured his artillery. Enclose account of the defeat of 300 of the enemy's horse beyond the Adige. He shall thank the King for his demonstration of favour. As already intimated, have elected ambassadors to England and France, who are to leave as soon as possible.

7 Oct. Calig. B. II., 32. B.M.	3342. [5477.] NORFOLK to WOLSEY.
	Yestereven, after Sir John Peche and Sir John Carr had delivered the King's letters to the Duke of Bretayn (Francis), and showed their credence, they returned and told Norfolk his answer that he was the Queen's servant, and no man more desirous to do her honor, and had undertaken this enterprise to serve, "unknat (and cannot?) command nor alter or defer any time of doing of the said enterprise from the time appointed of her entry into Paris, albeit that the herald had anything done to the contrary and old custom of the realm of France," which concerned the preparations made for the meeting by a great number of answerers and noble persons. Also that he had heard of the King's active courage in feats of arms, and if there were to be a meeting between the two Kings, or if he were commanded to wait upon Henry, he would be glad to do him service. Nothing is done by the French King but the Duke is privy to it. The King writes to him daily as ruler for him, as Norfolk finds by the dealing of Robertet. The Duke remits to the French King's pleasure the question of deferring or not. Thinks this great triumph in her honor should not be delayed by England, "and the yit rawnes of the preparation of ours." Had never greater difficulty in finding leisure to write. Montreuil, 7 Oct. Signed.
	P.S.—"My Lord, I assure you this Prince can speak well and wisely."
	Hol., p. 1. Add.: To my Lord of York. Many of the expressions in this letter are very obscure.

	Depositions on behalf of Phelipes Rouxel, Grimon Maroye, Thomas Desrues, Estienne Chenu and Jehan Feron against Michel de Sceliczon, Sieur de Karalio, under process of the Chancery of Britanny dated 24 June last and interrogatories delivered by Sceliczon, taken at St. Malo and Lantriguer between 27 Sept. and 9 Oct. 1514.
	Rouxel and Maroye, having equipped for war a barque of two tops called La Rochellaise, of 60 tons, sailed from St. Malo on Thursday, 16 March last, to scour the Breton and English coasts before joining the King's fleet at Honfleur. On the following Saturday, they were driven by tempest into the harbour of Port Blanc, two leagues from Lantriguer, where was already a Florentine ship which Karalio and others of the country thought they meant to attack,—and therefore arrested them and carried them before the Bishop, at Lantriguer, where they were detained eight days. The result of this detention was that when they got to sea again their victuals ran short and they had to return home without making any prizes, a loss to them of 500l. The evidence goes to show that Rouxel and his company were of good reputation. At the beginning of the wars, three years ago, Rouxel sailed from St. Malo in his ship La Pourrye and on the coast of Ireland captured about a dozen little barques, English and Irish, which he sold in Scotland for over 3,000l. La Pourrye was the first ship of St. Malo equipped for the war. She also captured a Spanish ship before Karcombrey in Scotland. Several of the witnesses were mariners in the Espagnol, a ship of three tops, which was with the Rochellaise, when she entered Port Blanc, and afterwards went to seek adventures on the Spanish coast. Among the 37 witnesses whose evidence is given at great length Jean de Cantepye (p. 35) called Mercerot, aged 60, of Honfleu and at present pilot of the Petite Louise, deposes as follows:—His first acquaintance with Rouxel was at Lidebourg in Scotland, where Rouxel was selling Rochelle wines from his barque named La Rochellaise. Ambassadors of France were then in Scotland seeking passage to return home, among them being Maistre Martin Beguyneau and the Sieur De la Mote. Maistre Martin was said to be chambelain du Roy. They found difficulty in getting passage because the English were at sea in great force. Saw the King of Scotland speak to Rouxel to undertake the passage, saw Maistre Martin go aboard his ship and afterwards, at Honfleu, heard him praise Rouxel. Shortly afterwards Rouxel was summoned to Honfleu, by the King's letter, and appointed to pilot the Grant Louyse, to Brest, in which the Sieur de Chillou, the King's lieutenant, then was. Deponent was at that time pilot of the Petite Louise in which he took the Sieur de la Mote to Scotland and afterwards brought him back to Honfleu. A year ago last Lent he saw Rouxel and the King's letters appointing him pilot of the Grant Louise. About Easter following, De la Mote, ambassador, went to Brest in the Petite Louyse; and by command of De Chillou and the said ambassador, Rouxel was charged to conduct the said embassy to Scotland in the Petite Louyse; which he did, with deponent as assistant. Arrived there, the King of Scotland gave Rouxel charge, as pilot, to conduct the Great Ship of Scotland to Brest, and witness went in her to assist. At Brest the Great Admiral of Scotland, who was on board the said Great Ship, asked the Great Master of Britanny that Rouxel, who had well acquitted himself, might be well recompensed. The said Great Admiral would not let Rouxel depart until he should have brought the ship to Honfleu; which he subsequently did, and the Admiral of Scotland there asked the Seneschal of Normandy to pay Rouxel's wages.
	Bertran Lambert (p. 47) Sieur du Val, gentleman (noble homme), dwelling at St. Malo, aged 35:—About a year ago on 15 Jan. last he was at Brest, as one of the fermiers du couvay, when Philip Rouxel arrived there with a barque name La Rochellaise, of which he was master and pilot, bringing from Scotland ambassadors both of France and Scotland, who took witness's lodging and compelled him to seek lodging in another house where he found his old acquaintance Rouxel, who, after supper, took him to see the ambassadors. He was the more welcome to them because he and Gilles (sic) Rouxel were d'un mesme quartier. The ambassadors praised Rouxel and asked witness to speak in his favour at St. Malo. Does not know their names, but it is notorious that they were the ambassadors of France and of Scotland going to the King. About the beginning of Lent last Rouxel equipped the said barque at St. Malo to join the King's army at Honfleu. Rouxel is in great estimation as the pilot who brought the Great Ship of Scotland to Brest and Honfleur, and has been pilot of the Grant Louise and Petite Louise.
	Jean Cuignart (p. 67), captain of the great ship called La Dieppaise, 50:—A year ago last May, being then captain of a ship called Le Sacre, of the King's army, he and other ships at Conkarneau were charged to transport the Seigneur de la Motte, ambassador, in the Sacre to Scotland; but he wished to be in La Levriere in which Rouxel was pilot, who had brought him from Brest. They put to sea, but were forced by storms to return to Sainct Mahe, where there was another ship named La Petite Louise into which De la Motte was put and Rouxel retained as pilot, to go fetch the ships in Scotland. This was by command of the Sieur de Sillou and the ambassador. Afterwards saw Rouxel in Honfleu where he was well known as the pilot who brought the Great Ship of Scotland.
	Dougal Cambel (p. 72) of the town of Donbertram in the bishopric of Clasco, in Scotland, countermaster of the Great Ship of Scotland, at present at the port of Solidoort beside St. Malo, aged 25:—Saw Rouxel first about 2½ years ago in Scotland in a barque of La Rochelle of which he was master, merchant and pilot, at the haven of But where he staid one day and left the next for another haven called St. Jehan de Ver, to sell the wines he had in the barque; and witness who was in another ship left for France. Afterwards heard that Rouxel brought the French embassy from Scotland to Brest, although a great army of English was at sea, and saw them in Court where Maistre Martin Beguineau told him that Rouxel, in the barque of La Rochelle, brought him from Scotland. In the July following, a year ago last July, being in Scotland, saw Rouxel who, as pilot, had brought the embassy of France in a ship called La Petit Louise, presented, by one of them called the Sieur de la Mote, to the King of Scotland, as very expert. Whereupon the King of Scotland retained him and he brought the Great Ship of Scotland to Brest. The Great Admiral of Scotland, who was in the ship, praised his services to the Great Master of Britanny. As the said Admiral did not speak good French, witness was his interpreter to the Great Master. The said Admiral afterwards commanded Rouxel to take the ship to Honfleu to the "Rade de Beillarville" and several times asked the seneschal of Normandy to pay his wages.
	Guillo Vaultier (p. 82) of Honfleu, carsonnyer of the Great Ship of Scotland, now being in the haven of St. Malo before the castle of Soulydore, aged 50:—Two years ago come next March, he was at Honfleu, carsonnyer of the Grant Louyse, when the Sieur de Chillo, then the King's lieutenant in the army of the sea, sent for Rouxel and appointed him to pilot the Grant Louyse to Britanny. At Brest they found an embassy, among whom was the Sieur de la Motte, about to pass to Scotland in the Petite Louyse. They asked De Sillou to let them have Rouxel as their pilot. De Sillou answered that he could not be spared, but finally was persuaded by De la Motte to let him go. So Rouxel went to Scotland, and returned as pilot of the Great Ship of Scotland
	John Aratre (? p. 92) of Sainct Janston in the county of Angoux, in Scotland, mariner of the Great Ship of Scotland, 30:—Has known Rouxel since a year ago last Christmas, when, at Sainct Jehan de Ver, in Scotland, he saw an ambassador of France received into his barque La Rochelaise.
	John Cambel (p. 93), mariner of the Great Ship of Scotland, 20:—Saw Rouxel at Leith (Havre du Lit) a year, or more, ago when the late King was equipping the Great Ship and other ships of Scotland to go to these parts.
	Alain le Clerc (p. 95) burgess of Lantriguer, 48:—Has known Rouxel for one year, having met him at La Rochelle, and Grimon Maroye for two years and more, who was factor at La Rochelle for Jehan Marevault. Michael de Seliczon now Sieur de Karalyo he has known for 30 years, and knew his father, for witness has a domaine near Karalyo. In March last at Lantriguer, distant from Port Blanc about two leagues, he saw the said Karalyo in armour before the episcopal manor, and entering the manor found Maroye, Rouxel and the other actors under arrest.
	Messire Christopher de Pounzes (p. 100), chevalier, standard bearer of the company of the Count of Laval now in garrison at Lantriguer, 40:—Heard Karalyo last March accuse the said actors to the Bishop, as pirates, saying they had taken two pinnaces at Port Blanc. They retorted that they were loyal subjects, natives of the Duchy, and their barque was of La Rochelle and under the charge of the Admiral of Scotland. Karalyo roused the country with report that the barque was putting artillery ashore to sink the Florentine.
	Other Lantriguer witnesses describe the arrest, the measures taken for coast defence, alarms, &c.

	[One or more leaves lost at the beginning.] ["he g]af us right hearty thanks, saying that we did him the most singular pleasure that we could do; and so we departed for that night, for it was somewhat late. Item, the said Monday, in the morning, all thing was performed according to the said appointment, and the matrimony was solemnized by the Cardinal of _ (blank in MS.) which sung the high mass. The Queen that day kept her state apart in a chamber, with certain princesses at her end table, and all the ambassadors dined in a chamber with the Duke of Bretaigne; the residue of the lords, ladies, and gentlewomen dined in the great chamber. And that same day the King gave her a marvellous great pointed diamond, with a ruby almost two inches long, without foil, which was esteemed by some men at 10,000 marks." On Tuesday the King gave her a ruby 2½ inches long, and the writers dined with the aforesaid Duke of Bretayn at his lodging, who after dinner took them apart, and showed them his good mind to the King and the Queen his sister, as they had written in former communications, "with so good words and so hearty affection that it moved all hearers, as we dou[bt] not but the lords at their coming hom[e will show your] grace. For he desired them that sithens [the earl of] Angolesme might not come to your presence to bey[re the earl] of Angolesme's heart to you, which he said should [be yours] during his life, and ye should never make war with [any] prince christened, but if his master would give him leave he would be at your grace's commandment with all h[is] power, with many other good and hearty words."
	At afternoon they went to the Court, and had an interview with the Council touching the matters they had in charge, and concerning the delivery of jewels and plate, as also to know the state of the Queen and the household she should be allowed; on which matters they promised to speak with the King, and return an answer next day, Wednesday. On Wednesday the King gave the Queen a great dia[mond,] a tablet with a great round pearl hanging by it, &c. The writers dined with the D[uke] of Alansen, and had another interview with the Council, the effect of which the lords will report. The Council told them the King would leave next day, Thursday; "and so he showed us himself." Doubts having arisen whether they were at liberty by their instructions to go further than Abbeville, or had any special command to solicit the speedy coronation of the Queen, they consulted the Duke of Norfolk and other of the King's Council, who advised them to do according to the King's former commandment, and that the clause about returning from Abbeville did not apply to them, but to those who came at that time with the Queen. "Item, this Friday my Lord of Norfolk and o[ther] lords and gentlemen depart from this town towards your highness. The French King maketh sembl[ance] as he would depart every day, but yet he lieth still, ever excusing him by his gout. The Queen is continually with him, of whom he maketh as mu[ch], as she reporteth to us herself, as it is possible for any man to make of a lady." Abbeville, 13 Oct.

	From _ (blank) to the Bp. of [Asti,] Abbeville, 8 to 14 Oct.—This morning, after bringing the Queen within four leagues, Angouleme returned hither with Bayeux, Longueville, Lautrec, Chaini, Pienes and others. At 2 p.m. the King sent him back to meet her, accompanied by Alencon, the Duke of Albany's brother, Longueville, Lautrec, Trimouille, Loy, Monsieur and others. These met her a league from the town, and detained her until the King arrived, accompanied by the Cardinals of Auch and Bayeux, and by Vendome, Albany, the Grand Master, the Grand Esquire, &c. Describes how he welcomed and kissed her, how she herself and her train appeared, and the procession into the town. A fire in the town burnt four houses that night; for the bells could not be rung for fear of disturbing the King and therefore few persons knew of it and could give assistance. Abbeville, 8 Oct. 1514.
	P.S. (9 Oct.).—Description of the marriage this morning. Dinner followed and after that there was dancing until the evening. At the 8th hour before midnight the Queen was taken away by Madame (Duchess of Angoulême) to sleep with the King.
	Next day, the 10th, the King seemed very joyous. The jousts postponed by request of the English lords. The King of England means to send Captain Talbot.
	Last Tuesday the King had a fit of gout which prevented his departure for Paris. The same day those who had accompanied the Queen from England were dismissed home, except ambassadors and some personal attendants. Presents made to them. To save them expense the King had forbidden his musicians to sing or play in their (the English visitors') houses as mendicants.
	The Queen has given La Meth, who is in Longueville's service, the customary contribution of the hosiers; and appointed Mons. de Concursallo as her Steward (maistro di casa), Malabayla having declined the office. The Queen when she drank was served by an Englishman in gold brocade who remained kneeling the whole time, as also did her taster. Abbeville, 14 Oct. 1514.

The King thanked them for the offers, but made little account of the news because it was old. Many gentlemen who accompanied the Queen to France, and were there much caressed, have returned.
