2 May. Harl. MS. 421, f. 137. B.M.	752. PROSECUTION for HERESY.
	30 April 1511.—Christopher Grebill, of Crainebroke, son of John Grebill the Elder, aged 22 years, examined in presence of the parties "abovesaid" of the belief of his mother Agnes Grebill upon (1) the Sacrament of the Altar; (2), confession to a priest; (3), sacrament of matrimony; (4), christening and bishoping of children; (5), pilgrimages; and (6), worshipping of saints and offerings, says that she taught that the sacrament of the altar is but bread, that infant baptism is useless and confirmation vain, that confession may only be made to God, that pilgrimages and worshipping images are of no affect. These views his father also held and his father and mother communed of them divers times within the last three years, both on holydays and working days, but he cannot say how often. He had no feeling that these were errors until he heard John Ive's teaching and saw Mr. John Ive's books three years ago. Has since discussed them with his father in the presence of his brother John Grebill.
	John Grebill the younger, of Tenterden, aged 21 years, sworn 29 April by "the said most reverend father in God" and in presence of the said witnesses, answers that his father and mother have taught (as above) for about twelve months past. They often taught him when he was younger but he gave no heed to it.
	"Whereupon the said Bishop" on Friday, 2 May, 1511, gave sentence (full sentence recited (fn. 1) ), leaving her, as a convicted heretic, to the secular court.

2 May. Lettres de Louis XII., ii., 205.	753. GURK to ANDREA DE BURGO.
	This is now the eighth day since, rebus infectis, he left the Papal Court at Bologna, and came the same day to Modena. On the following day he was joined by the bp. of Paris, who accompanied him from Modena hitherwards; and because the ambassador of Scotland was following them from Bologna and sent word asking them to await him here, they stopped yesterday, and heard him; but he brought no great matter, and, therefore, they are leaving to-day, the bp. of Paris for Milan and the writer to go to the Emperor. Parma, 2 May 1511.

	2 May 1511.—The Pope to be reminded of the expediency of making the Swiss break with France. The enemy's army about to move, but the direction it will take not known. The Cardinal of York should bring his men to join those here, so that the Venetians may be stronger to take advantage of the enemy's moving. Are pleased that the Pope has conferred the provostry upon the bp. of Ceira and trust that Gurk will soon repent his insolence. It would be well for the Pope to notify his ambassador in England and also the Princes of Germany, who hate Gurk. Approve means taken to get the Spanish ambassador to write; for Gurk will doubtless try to give a contrary account of his doings.

	Thanks for good reception at Parma. On Saturday, at 22 o'clock, the Pope gave him audience for two hours, and finally said that if the Bishop of Paris would come, and bring the Count of Carpy, things should be arranged to the King's satisfaction. Advises him to come; as also do the Cardinals of Pavia and Nantes. If he speak for the affairs of the Emperor he will accomplish as much as the bp. of Gurk could. Bologna, 5 May, at 10 a.m.

10 May. Otho C. IX., 5. B.M.	766. [1659.] THE GRAND MASTER OF RHODES (EMERY D'AMBOISE) to HENRY VIII.
	The Turk is very ill at [Constantin]ople. His four sons were preparing for Constantinople in March last, when they were stopped by the news of their father's convalescence. A Turk in Cilicia has raised an insurrection near Satalia, with the Sophi, of whose sect he is, and has defeated the army of the Turks sent against him. On the 1st of [this] month he pitched his camp near Prusia, a city of Bithynia, which has been abandoned by the Christians and Mahometans; for the Cilician slays all who oppose the Sophi and call Ma[homet] prophet. In a late engagement a great part of the Turkish army went over to him. Opinions as to his motives are various. No news of the Sultan of Egypt. He is afraid of the Sophi. The Syrians and Egyptians are ripe for revolt. Good time for the Christians to head an expedition against them, proclaiming liberty to the Greeks, Albanians, Sclavonians, Bosnians, Servians, Wallachians, and other nations of the Euxine. Is informed by letters from Damascus, of the 1st April, that last winter the Sophi cut to pieces a whole army of the Turks. This Sophi has extended his dominions from the Persian Gulf to the Caspian, including Mesopotamia and Cappadocia. He is able to drive the Turks and Sultan from their dominions. Rhodes, 10 May 1511.

	Thanks for shirts and mufflers, which she has helped to make with her own hands that this year, when his heart is heavy, his body may be comforted by such fine linen as angels wear in Paradise. Will shortly thank her with an image of a future saint made by his hand. Detained bearer, servant of Maitre Loys, because of the bad news which came daily from the side of the King of Aragon and now despatches him with the good news which has come by letters of Messire André de Bourgo that all is again well. 17 May.

Eras. Ep., VII., 6. [Edit. Allen, I., No. 220.]	770. AMMONIUS to LORD MOUNTJOY.
	In return for the favour he has met with in England (who has nourished him so long that he may justly call her his country), taking the only way which poverty has left him, he has begun to repay his patrons with praise. Alexander and Scipio both accepted the praises of indifferent poets; and God himself asks of us nothing in return for His grace but praise. Begs acceptance of this humble gift in which he has endeavoured to thank England, Lord Mountjoy and his other patrons; and which he has ventured to dedicate to Mountjoy by name.

19 May. Vitell. B. XVIII., 13. B.M.	773. [1676.] SIR ROB. WINGFIELD to HENRY VIII.
	Wrote on the 12th instant ... from Fyessen, "at which ... [Richmond] harawlde unto the Emperor to such intent ... forsaid letter." Left Fyessen on the 13th, [and reached Insbruk] on the 17th. Soon after there came two doctors of the Emperor's co[uncil] by order of his Chancellor, to show me ... was at that time, and also what tidings ... "As touching the being of the Emperor, they showed [me he had] trusted that he should have come straight [hither but he chan]ged his purpose, and was going to a town ... to set an order between his nephew the Duke [... who] were fallen is dissension, in such wise that ... hath his brother in prison. As touching tidings they showed of the enterprise ... in train at Genys even after the form of m[y letters] of the 12th."—The French host was advanced ... "and because the Pope's army doubted that [the same would have] assailed Mirandola, they sent thither a C[aptain called] John Paul de Monfferon with 300 horsemen; [but they] left the said Mirandola and kept ... and when they were passed ... had a booty and done displeasure in the tail of ... but the Frenchmen which had foreseen that ... had left a bushment to defend the same, so that [the said] John Paul, when he was busy to do harm, it [fell] upon himself, for he was taken and his company [disper]syd." On Monday last, after the French had taken Concordia, and prepared to bridge the river Pannare, between Modena and Bologna, they were "haylyd so" by artillery, that they failed of their purpose and suffered some loss. Bologna is in a stir; the Pope has left and gone to Ravenna; the Cardinals who had [been in] way of treaty with the Bishop of Gource dared not be seen in Bologna, "for the people layeth sore to their [char]ge that in their default the peace to[ok] none effect. [The] iij.c. spears that the Pope had of the K. of Aragon be [stayed] by the said King's commandment, showing verily [that he] will not take the Pope's party neither against nor ... of the Emperor or the French King." The said doctors showed me also "that [a servant] of the French ambassador's was ridden to his master in post."
	Heard the same news yesterday from a Genevoyse, except that he said the Pope was not [gone to Ravenna] but to his host, and would fight in a few days. There are many conjectures why the French ambassador should have [sent] in post to his master.
	Gerningham has departed hence, "and hath set all your harness ... also that harness which the Emperor doth [send to your] grace." The harness bespoken by Wingfield at ... [was not] yet ready, but was promised by the armourers in three or four days. The Emperor's motions are uncertain; it is said he will proceed to Austria, raise an army, and pass towards [such] lands as the Venetians "holdeth of his in Friuli and Istria." Fears if the King do not recall him, that journey will be more costly than he can bear. Innspruck, 19 May 1511.

	From the Ambassador with the Pope, Ravenna, 23 May.—The news of the loss of Bologna greatly displeased the Pope, who, after speaking with the Spanish ambassador, Hironimo Vich, sent briefs to the Emperor, Spain and England. * * * Recent letters from England, of 6 May, announce that the French ambassador has complained that the Cardinal of England, the King's ambassador, took the field against his King. Henry answered that he was very pleased to help the Church, and that Louis does wrong to assist vassals of the Pope like the Duke of Ferrara.

24 May. Vitell. B. XVIII., 15. B.M.	777. [1681.] SIR ROB. WINGFIELD to HENRY VIII.
	Had w[ritten] from Innspruck on 19 May, along with "some other from Ry[chmond herald] which continueth still in the Emperor's co[urt of whose] coming hither or any perfect certainty wh[ere he is] is not yet known here. Some say that h[e will to a town] called Salsburg, and there redress a certain de[vision] betwixt the bishop of that city and the g[overnors of the] same, and also because the said city confyn[yth on] divers countries belonging to the Emperor [to wit the] Tyrolle, Awstryk and Fryoole, he will there ma[ke a levy,] from all the said countries, of men of war [to carry on] his wars against the Venetians."
	"Yester even" the Bishop of Gurce and the [Emperour's] ... came to this town. Has seen the Bp., who recommends himself to the King. Desired to learn from him the news; but the Bp. [would not inform him] at that time. "He declared to me shortly ... departed towards the Pope; the Emperor had [been grea]tly instanced by the Pope, as well by briefs as [otherw]yse, to send him," principally to treat for an universal peace, and an expedition against the Infidels. The Emperor despatched the said Bishop with three principal articles, perfectly concerning the Emperor's mind, in these and other causes; with full power to conclude, and full knowledge of the mind of the French King and the King of Aragon. The first was to induce the Pope to make peace upon the Treaty of Camereye. The 2nd, if he refused this, to treat for a peace between the Pope and the Duke of Ferrara, and thus pacify the causes between the [Pope] and the French King; also a form of a peace to be had [between the Pope], the Emperor, and the Venetians. [Thirdly, if] the Pope would agree to neither proposition [he was then] "to declare that the Emperor, the French King, and the K[ing of Aragon] ... but first for their parts obs[erve the] confederacy of Camereye, and farther [they would] refrain and resist the Pope of his unreaso[nable doings]."
	The Pope sent Gurce word he would not agree to the first article, but he was willing to treat in such way as would be agreeable to the Emperor; and sent a brief of the form of the peace between himself and the Duke of Ferrara, and between the Emperor and the Venetians; but on the Bishop's coming, he again evaded his promises, [hoping] "by other reasons to have brought the said ... to a more profitable frame for the Emperor." Meanwhile the Bishop [was offere]d a cardinal's hat, and, as he says, the patriarchate of Aquileia, with other things, to the value of 100,000 florins a year. The Bishop declared the third article, and so departed; and thereupon caused the Spaniards to depart from the Pope, and the French to advance, who passed the river of Pannare, and took Castell Franco. Gurce thinks they are now in Bologna, for the Pope is gone, and his host retired in disorder. "Hawbeit he thinketh veryly that Bologna be delivered into the governance of the Emperor, to be conserved for the Church."
	From the Aragonese ambassador had similar information respecting the Pope; but with regard to Bologna he thought the French would set the Bentivogli in there again, to keep a passage open for themselves. Inquired of Gurce "if ... Cardinal of York, and he shewed me nay, for [the Pope hath made him] principal legate of all Italy, and also [chief captain of the] army.—But he shewed that the Bishop of Moray w[as sent unto] him from the Pope, shewing that he had ... grace and of the K. his master to endeavo[r to promote a general] peace, and furthermore to make relation to y[our Grace in] whom the fault rested, and also that the Pope [had sent that] Bishop to the French K., with a certain charge, ... not, and upon such answer as he shall have [he is to give notice] to the Pope, or to make relation to your G[race, and to the] King his master." After writing thus much went to the Bishop of Gurce to see if he had any further news. Was told that the Cardinals at Milan had devised articles against the Pope, and summoned a General Council at Pisa, on 1 Sept., "and that c ... the same were set forward in th[e name of the Emperor and] the French K.," and that [they only waited] for your consent in the same. Wingfield thought the counsel right perilous, and said the King would have gladly known the Emperor's mind, before he (the Emperor) had "put his foot so far in the bushel," that he might have either expressed his consent, or given reason to the contrary. Gurce thought sufficient reasons could be given why Henry and the King of Aragon should concur and that Cardinal Adrian (Corneto) was associated with the foresaid Cardinals. On returning to his lodging there came a servant of Cardinal Adrian's, with no recommendations to Wingfield, but with a message to the ambassador of [Aragon,] whom he hoped to have overtaken; to the effect, that the Cardinals at Milan had done as above-mentioned [and had] inscribed Cardinal Adrian as assenting, desiring him to send a proxy, which however he had not done, but protested his dissent before their messenger, drew up instruments and sent one of his chaplains to Milan to protest against them. Was also informed by the Cardinal's servant that [news had come] out of Bologna the 14th day of ... departing the Duke of Ferrara was ... to have had an enterprise ... from the ... the said enterprise failed, though the Spaniards have left the in all such causes as concern the Treaty of Cambray [; but] they will not abandon him if he should be prosecuted, above those [ly]myttys." Trusts that between the most Catholic and most Christian Kings St. Peter's boat will not sink, though it be sore stormed. Innspruck, 24 May 1511.

	Had written on 24 May from "th[is town]." [Bologna was] delivered into the hands of the French. In his former letter had [said that Gurce] hoped the city would be delivered [into the Emperor's] hands "for the Church of Rome, ... whilst that the Emperor's ambassador, called M. ... to have had the said city to have been ordered ... or else to have it delivered to the Emperor, the Fre[nch King, and the King] of Aragon, to the purpose afore rehearsed," the Cardinal who governed it for the Pope fled along with the Pope's army, "so that Mess ... Tryvoulse was letten in, and the Bentyvoyllys." Hopes soon to have more certain information of "what the Emperor ... your herald (fn. 4), which is still with him."
	Hol., p. 1.
30 May. Vitell. B., XVIII., 20. B.M.	780. [1697.] SIR ROBERT WINGFIELD to HENRY VIII.
	Had written on 27th of this month from Innspruck. "I have written divers letters of the receipt of w[hich I have] had no knowledge from Thos. Spynelly wher[efore I fear they] ar miscarried or some other chance where ... for when I neither have writing from your ... your diligent servant, me thinketh I am too fa ... presence by a great deal."
	The Bishop of Gurce went to the Emperor on the 28th of this month. "And in the while that he [was staying] here I have communed with him and Sir Paul Lyttstey[ne the which hath] all the rule of this country of Tyrolle." They could not deny the advantage that would have followed "if the new confederation betwixt [your] grace and the King of Aragon had been set forth and concl[uded]," and the peril that now existed for lack of the same. They both marvelled greatly "that ... was no farther forth; for, or the Bishop of Gource ... in embassy towards the Pope, which was in the beginning ... the Emperor had sent ... being with the K. of Aragon, to break with the said ... the Emperor was content that the same should ... of four places, that is to wit, with the Emperor ... the K. of Aragon, or in Flanders ... Emperor's ambassador had ... grace, and know your mind, and thereupon ... unto the Emperor," respecting which Wingfield had never received any instructions.
	Has also spoken with the ambassador of Aragon, who knew nothing but that the King his master had written, and expected an answer from Henry VIII. Thinks it owing to Gurk, who hoped to have been the instrument of a universal peace, that the affair has had such slack speed. Thinks the French King would have preferred a universal peace to this special confederation ; but, as he told the said Bishop and Sir Paul, it would have been better that the special confederation had been long since concluded, and things would have been put on such a footing "that the foresaid instrument should have been but of small necessity in that behalf." If it be true that the Bishop has stopped the matter, he has been but of little service either to his master or to himself. Hears that this embassy has cost the Emperor 16,000 florins, and thinks that, all other practice having failed, he will now advance the confederation.
	The post from Italy that arrived on the 28th confirmed what he had written on the 27th, "... had taken the Pope's principal standard, and as many of other as wa ... artillery, and also that the Frenchmen ... Imola." It was the son of John James Trevoulce, and not himself (as he had written on the 27th), that was letten into Bologna. "[The saying] is here that he excuseth him and showeth to be no ... that the Bentyvoylys were so received into Bon[ony. God] knoweth all ; and also it is said that the Bononeyse w[ould not] suffer that the Pope's army should come in the town ... and that such as been in the rock for the Pope h[ath offered the] Emperor's ambassador, which keepeth at Moodon, t[o deliver] the said rock into the Emperor's hands." It was not known [where] the army of the K. of Aragon was; but as long as he remained at Innspruck, to which the posts were despatched, and Richmond continued with the Emperor, he hoped to advertise the K. of all that came to light. "And also ... hath comyn to good purpose for me, for divers ... diseased of the farseyne, which hath vexed m ... here I have found some remedy." Beseeches the King, in consideration of the smallness of his substance, and the great charges which he necessarily incurs for meat and medicine at Innspruck, one of the most frequented watering-places in the world, where "acquaintance groweth conti[nually] and every day of new," that his remuneration may be increased. had written on the 12th from Fiessen, that a nephew of the Pope's had been secretly sent on an embassy to the Emperor. Some believe this still, although those of the Emperor's council at Innspruck deny it. Has just learnt from a servant of Signor Constantine, of whom on his first coming to Innspruck, in August, he informed the King that the Pope sent Signor Constantine in embassy to the Emperor, who refused to see him, but sent Sir Paul Lyttsteyne to Brescia to learn his instructions, and to negociate a peace between himself and the Venetians. After long deliberation, it was offered, on the part of the Venetians, to deliver to the Emperor all the Friuli, and all that they held north of Venice, except the cities of Padua and Treviso (not reserving the cities in the countries called Paduan and Trevisan), paying yearly 50,000 ducats, besides 300,000 ducats in ready money, to the Emperor, to which offer the said Sir Paul would not condescend, unless Padua should be delivered to the Emperor. Monsieur Vyce, the Emperor's ambassador with the Pope, in order that his kinsman the Bishop of Gurce might have the honour of settling the business, procured that the Pope should desire the Bishop [to be] sent to him by the Emperor. The change, however, was much worse for the Emperor; for the Bishop granted that the Venetians should [retain] Padua and Treviso and the [Paduan] and Trevisan countries. The said servant says that letters have come from Signor Constantine, written at Ravenna, stating that the legate had left "Bologna [but he] was not advertised of the discomfiture of his army." "The letter is of this effect [that if the said] Sir Paul should move the peace for the Venetians af ... that it was desired and granted by the Bishop of G[ource that then] the Emperor might send unto the Frenchmen to with[draw, and not] molest or persecute the Pope any farther. The said ... [is] of such authority with the Emperor that whatsoever [he determineth] the Emperor will not lightly vary therefrom. He h[ath caused the] said servant to write a letter to the said Signor Co[nstantine] that he knoweth well that the Emperor and a ... are very sorry that the Pope hath been so ... own harm, and yet if the ... [two] things, the Emperor ... end his life in good surety as a glorious prince."
	"[Of the two] things one is, if he cause the Venetians to deliver [unto] the Emperor all such as he claimeth (nothing except of Padua or Treviso) (fn. 5), that other (fn. 6), if the Venetians will not assent, [the] Pope to leave them and to resort to the Treaty of Cambray; upon which the said servant of the Signor Constantine has despatched a post to his lord, which is with the Pope." The said servant also said, that the Pope trusted that the Kings of England and Aragon would not suffer the French King to oppress him and the Church, considering that, in the treaty of amity made between the Kings of England and France, the Pope is one of the first that is comprised in the same; to which Wingfield answered, he was sure his master was sorry that the Pope should be so molested, "and most specially that the fault appeareth so largely in himself"; and that he thought the French would proceed no farther against the Pope, but as the Emperor and the K. of Aragon should be content, and if they did, England would take the same course. The said servant used arguments to Wingfield to prove that England never had better time to advance his causes than the present, "showing that for molesting the Pope, your grace [was] at liberty, and were nothing bound to continue any longer ... lles of amity with the French King." Wingfield declined to argue the matter. "The ambassador of Aragon ... perceive the manner of business w ... be somewhat troublous to the King h ... enterprised the war which he has in ha[nd, seeing that, for] the same purpose, the Pope had granted [dismes and crusiatts], in his realms and those that he governeth, and ... now at this time, because the Pope was not so ... the necessary peace that was moved and offered by ... said King called away the 300 spears that he ... in the Pope's army against the Duke of Ferrara [and the Pope] hath revoked such dismes and crusiatts as is before ... there is much tribulation in this Christendom, and ... that your grace shall have good occasion to set foot in ... it may be talibus auspiciis, and in such time that ... with prosperous success may be attained to your mo[re honor, whom] as it seemeth that God and nature hath prepared and endow[ed not only] with body but also with intellect and fortunes meet and accordi[ng]."

	Louis is probably aware how last year, notwithstanding the expectation of a fine harvest, the crops fell off in quality (a sua bonitate degeneraret). They were so bad that corn is not to be had for the King's household unless it be from abroad (ex alieno agro). Requests he will allow 200 or 300 bushels of corn or grain to be imported from France.

Adv. MS., 333.	783. MAXIMILIAN to JAMES IV.
	Wishes he had more agreeable news to write. Is compelled to renew the war in Italy against the Venetians for the recovery of his rights. They have occupied the dominions of others and have sowed wars and discord for their own aggrandisement. In the time of the present Pope they have seized Rimini, Faenza, and other towns, but have restored a small part of the plunder. At the Pope's request sent princes and cardinals to them as ambassadors, but without success. They even refused him a passage through their territories when on his way to receive the Imperial crown, and attacked his men, who were compelled to pass through their lands, as there was no other way to Italy. Made, notwithstanding, a three years truce with them, which they did not keep. At the Pope's desire, a treaty was then entered into at Cambray, between His Holiness, himself, and the Kings of France and Aragon, providing for the comprehension of other powers, especially Scotland, and having for its object the recovery of the places seized by the Venetians and afterwards an expedition against the Infidels, with a stipulation that no power should leave the confederation until each had obtained his rights. On taking up arms, the Venetians were defeated by the French and lost what they had acquired. Went accordingly to Italy to arrange matters there, with a small army ; but the Pope, forgetful of what he had promised, was anxious for all the confederates to leave Italy. He recalled his army and sent for the Venetian ambassadors, whom he had promised, through Constantine Cominatus, duke of Achaia, to excommunicate, and never to absolve until full restitution was made, and summoned the Emperor to a Council. During his absence the Venetians, who had left Padua, absolved the citizens from their oath, dragged several of the leading nobles to prison at Venice and hanged four of the most powerful men of the town. They have also imprisoned several women and children. The Pope endeavoured to separate the Emperor from the League for the purpose of expelling the French from Italy, and failing in this, tempted Genoa to rebel, by means of his fleet, which had joined that of the Venetians, and bribed the Swiss to invade Milan. He also began to treat for a peace between the Venetians and the Emperor, by means of Cominatus, but it was merely a deception, and he then declared war on the Duke of Ferrara, on the pretext that the Duke "sal conficiebat in Camadio oppido," which he said had been given him by the Emperor. Letters were then sent to the Pope, asking him to abstain from such a war in Italy, and rather to try to pacify existing wars, and to use arbitration in the case of the Duke of Ferrara, as the French King was intending to do. He refused and himself took the field with his forces and Venetian auxiliaries, forgetful of his dignity. The war, too, was not against infidels or heretics but Christian princes, his feudataries one of whom he had lately honored with the title of gonfalonier of the Church. As he was unsuccessful in the war and again desired peace, Maximilian, though he knew that it was all a pretence, sent Matthew, Bp. of Gource, to treat with him, that there might be no obstacle on his side. In accordance with the wishes of France and Aragon, Gource was commissioned to ask the Pope to fulfil the Treaty of Cambray and refer all differences to arbitration; and, finally, to make a new league between all the powers of Christendom for an expedition against the Infidels. If the Venetians resist the peace, war to be made on them, in which the Pope must assist, as bound by the Treaty of Cambray. Desires only to stop the effusion of Christian blood.
