	Wrote last August 31st. On 2nd Sept. met the Council to deliberate on the Treaty.—The President ordered Marynex to read certain articles which lay on the board before him. Required a copy, and it was sent them within an hour after, by Spinelly. Next day, after discussion among themselves, returned to the audience, where Sir Tho. Boleyn said, to my Lady, "that inasmuch as the said articles and considerations were in Latin, the master of the Rolls should make answer unto them in Latin tongue; and so he did," stating that they might be reduced to three heads—1st, that the treaty should be between the King and the Emperor only; 2ndly, that all treaties between Hen. VII. and the Emperor, "as mainbourne to the Prince of Castile and King Philip," be confirmed; 3rdly, "that she desired at her request and contemplation to be expressly written in the treaty." To these no answer, he said, could be given till they had consulted the King; they considered this so contrary to their hopes and to the [powers] given her by the Emperor. Had expected she would rather have enlarged than diminished her authority, as she had full authority to treat in the Emperor's name both as Emperor and as tutor to the Prince of Castile, to whom the King had always shewn singular affection; and, 2ndly, when the Emperor demanded 100,000 ducats, it was on condition that the Prince of Castile and my Lady should be included in the treaty. Told the Council they did not lack means for the war, but only good will; 2ndly, that great help would be given them against Gueldres and the French King; 3rdly, to their 6th article, that England would not comply with their demand of 150,000 ducats of gold, merely for a treaty with the Emperor; nor, 4thly, would they be bound for what the King of Aragon should do; 5thly, that Henry would not send 8,000 men to their aid at his own charge, except on the previous understanding; 6thly, that the article to exclude the Esterlings from England when required thereto by the Emperor or my lady only occupied space and might be struck out. The President made a reply in French to the effect that the King must understand that the Prince will not be bound to join in the war, and the Emperor asks 150,000 ducats because of the 300,000 promised from the Pope, England and Aragon; he is not sure of the Pope and therefore asks 150,000 from each of the others. Send herewith their treaty and articles. Their mind upon the three points seems to be:—1, that the Prince will nowise be bound to enter the war; 2, that, for at least 100,000 ducats, the Emperor will attack the French in Burgundy or Picardy, but if the Prince's countries be invaded he will expect an aid of 8,000 footmen at the King's cost; 3, that all treaties heretofore concluded by him shall be confirmed.

	From Antonio Bavarin to Francesco da Cha da Pesaro, London, 5 Sept.—Attack on Brest by a fleet which left Hampton on 9 Aug. Fight (described) at Brest between the Great Carrack and the Regent, captain Thomas Chanivet. Both finally took fire and were burnt. Of 800 English 120 were saved and of 1,500 French but 20, who were made prisoners. Another French ship made sail with an Englishman in chase. The fleet returned to Dartmouth and Hampton to refit. It burned many places in Brittany and also 24 French ships. To-day the English have taken a French ship, Captain Drepa, and sunk two others. List of men, ordnance, &c., on board the Great Carrack (which although of 1,500 tons was only a barque), as learnt from the survivors, the persons named being Mons. de Clermont, Great Admiral of France (fn. 1), Mons. Primoia, captain, Mons. Enores de Clarica, Mons. Simon de Loy, Mons. Vangel.

	Treaty between Louis XII. and the King and Queen of Navarre, prefaced by the Navarrese ambassador's commission dated Tudelle, 7 May 1512, as concluded by them 17 July and ratified by King John of Navarre (fn. 2) at Blois, 7 Sept. 1512, in presence of the C ardinals D'Albret and De Prie, Mons. d'Albret, the Bishop of Paris, the Sieur de Bouchage and the Treasurer Robertet. One of the articles stipulates that because the English have landed about Fontarabie, intending to invade France, Navarre shall declare openly against them and others who shall be in their company, and make war upon them.

	Wrote last on the 4th, showing upon what conditions the Emperor would join. Received from my Lady yesterday the agreements concluded between the French King and the King of Navarre; as the messenger came by England, think the King knows them. Spinelly informs them that Antony De Waldrypont, one of the Emperor's secretaries, has arrived with instructions to my Lady. Enclose a copy in Latin, translated by Spinelly, with news in French out of Italy, from the Bp. of Gurck. Marynex went yesterday to the Emperor. Antwerp, 9 Sept.

	Notarial exemplification of a bond given by Sir Robert Bruce, of Erth, to serve, with his kin and friends, for the part of Alex. lord Elphinstoun, in all causes; which bond was given at Stirling, 10 Sept. 1512, in presence of Archibald earl of Ergile and others (named).
11 Sept. Calig. B. VI., 22. B.M.	1380. [3412.] JOHN ANISLOW to the BISHOP OF DURHAM.
	On Monday, 6 Sept., arrived John Lawsson, merchant of Leith, and in his ship came the Archdeacon's son of St. Andrew's, with letters from the French King urging the invasion of England. The King had previously sent his full mind in writing unto the French King by Mons. De la Motte and James Oglebe, stating if he were paid the tribute that the French King pays to England he would make war on England; otherwise he had no substance to make war with. Thinks this will incline James to peace, as he receives from France "no goods but mone fayre writynggis." The height of the war is over in Scotland for this year. Thinks it would be wise to take precautions against Scotland for next year. The great ship when under sail in the Frith ran aground. Hob of Barton and John of Barton have returned into Scotland, and are taken into favour. Browne Hyll and Barton "appeals either other for fleeing when Fawkynnere was taken." The King can raise only 16 ships of war "with toppis." "And, my lord, there ys good grement at the days of truce and good peace on the Borders." The Bishop's buildings go well forward. The west gate is finished with two floors and roof, which are substantial, "and atornegrece with 92 nowelles, with 3 fayre whyndos, and every whyndow 5 lyghtis." Begs he will send him by the next ship a barrel of saltpeter, "for making of fire balls, and mending howre powder." Norham Castle, 11 Sept. Signed.

13 Sept. Campbell Charters, VIII., 18. B.M.	1382. [3414.] ARMOUR.
	Indenture, made 13 Sept. 4 Hen. VIII., between Thos. Wulcy, clk., the King's almoner, and John Daunce, on the King's behalf, and Guydo Portynary, merchant of Florence, whereby the latter engages to supply, before the 15 Feb. next, 2,000 "complete harness called Almayne ryvettes according to a pattern in the hands of John Dauncy, accounting alway a salet, a gorjet, a breastplate, a backplate, and a pair of splints, for every complete harness," at 16s. each set, Signed above by the King and at the foot by Wulcy and Daunce. Parchment. Two seals (broken), attached.
13 Sept. Le Glay, Corresp. de Max. et de Marg., II., 33.	1383. MAXIMILIAN to MARGARET OF SAVOY.
	Received her letter by Secretary Louis Marton together with the copy of what she has done (de vostre besoignie) with the ambassadors and commissioners of the King of England. Approves her plan, with some little additions which do not alter the substance; and values her advice. If she can manage it she must pass her plan and he will send his ratification, so that the publication of the declaration of war with France may be retarded. If the King of England will not condescend to it, his answer to his said ambassadors with her must be sent with speed, that the Emperor may thereupon send his resolution by Secretary Louis, whom he retains for that purpose. The Swiss wish to invade France and to have the Emperor's aid of 1,500 horse and artillery (which he will give in the name of a prince and not in his own); and, for this, he desires her to ask the English ambassadors to obtain him 50,000 cr. from their master as soon as the alliance is concluded. As the Emperor will be at great expence after the publication of the war and must put his affairs in order, he will, if the King desires a personal interview, come to St. Omer or elsewhere and take oath to the treaty, provided that England be bound, thereupon, to deliver the 100,000 cr. * * * Cologne, 13 Sept. 1512.

14 Sept. Galba B. III., 47. B.M.	1384. [3415.] [YOUNG, BOLEYN and WINGFIELD to HENRY VIII.]
	On the 13th received his letters dated Windsor, the 5th, with copy of a commission from the King of Aragon to his ambassador in England for the treaty in hand. Purpose to forbear all communication with my Lady until they receive an answer to their letter of the 4th. It cannot be concluded here between the King, the Pope, the Emperor, Aragon, Castile, and the Venetians, for lack of authority given to my Lady; and she does not intend to put her authority in execution as largely as she may. Seeing that the Emperor has the bp. of Gurck continually resident in Italy (and now gone to the Pope) to establish matters between Pope, Emperor, Aragon and Venetians which have been "the very cause" why the King's matters are deferred, the writers think that this confederation can only be concluded between the King and the Emperor, reserving place for others. Will, if the King think proper, solicit my Lady for more ample powers from the Emperor; to which, however, he will not condescend, unless he may have the sum that he demands, as large offers are made him by the French. Antwerp, 14 Sept.

Sanuto, XV., 227.	1385. VENICE.
	[Summary of news from England received on 14 Oct. from Piero Lando, ambassador with Gurk, viz.:—] Detailed account of the expedition to Brittany which left Portsmouth on 9 Aug. and encountered the French fleet at Brest on St. Laurence's Day (fn. 3). Exploits of the Admiral and Sir Anthony Utrect, destruction of the carrack of Brest called La Reine and of the Regent which boarded her, &c. With the Regent perished Sir Thomas Kenivet, grand esquire of England and captain, and Sir John Caro; and of French perished the lord of Promagier, captain, lord Gabriel de Chacho, lord Simon de la Hay, lord Camangel, the Seneschal of Morlaix and 300 gentlemen. Don Juan de Lescorno, the King Catholic's captain, with 15 great ships and 8 small, arrived at Hampton on 8 Sept., and the combined fleets will make an expedition as soon as weather serves. In England we have had no news of the siege of Bayonne for five weeks down to 14 Sept. The King has ordered four ships of 800 tons each to be built by Easter next, and has bought 12,000 suits of armour from certain Staplers. The Scots have good peace with him as yet.

	14 Sept. 1512.—The sinister working of the Cardinal of Sion and the Sforzeschi against this Signory continues. Have just received a letter from Capello stating that the Emperor has had him conducted to Venzon in Friuli with a message that the Emperor does not wish him to go to inflame the King of England against the King of France, with whom the Emperor has no war, and before Venice is at peace with him. In Germany all, even the princes, desire peace and believe the Pope's authority sufficient to make it.

15 Sept. Galba B. III., 19b. B.M.	1387. [3417.] MARGARET OF SAVOY to HENRY VIII.
	Jaquet Berenghier of Lille, who went to England [last] Lent, to trade, was seized on his return by one Master Christopher (Xpofle), master of one of the King's ships, compelled to serve as a gunner, plundered of all his goods, taken for a Frenchman because he spoke the language, was racked by the captain, Master Griffendon, and so lost one foot. Afterwards, he was delivered to the Admiral, was long kept prisoner at Hampton, had his ears slit, and was threatened with hanging. Henry will perceive by a certificate from the town of Lille, that he is a native of that place, and of good repute. Desires, therefore, that reparation may be made him, and that such barbarities be not repeated. Antwerp, 15 Sept. 1512. Signed.

On the 16th were informed by my Lady she had received letters from the Emperor, who is fully determined that the confederation for which they were sent shall be concluded, and the sooner the better.

	Although the King of Scots promised the King Catholic to be faithful to England, and swore it to Dr. West who was there recently, when he saw that England made war on the French and would send 20,000 men through Normandy under the Earl of Shrewsbury, he began to attack Berwick and denounce war. Wherefore, these are already gone towards Scotland, viz., the Earl of Surrey, captain general, the earls of Northumberland and Derby, lords Darcy and Dacres, and other captains, with 30,000 men, not only for defence but to treat the King of Scotland as the King Catholic has treated the King of Navarre. The King has said openly that he does not believe the Pope and the King her father will ever desert him, but if they were to do so he himself would not desist from war until the Schismatic King (fn. 5) was removed.

	From _ to the Cardinal of England, London, 27 Sept. 1512.—Brief account of the fight between the Regent and the Breton Carrack with list of men and stores in the latter. The two English leaders were Sir Thomas Ruevet and Sir John Careri, the six French were the Lord Admiral Mons. de Claramont, Mons. Premongier, Mons. Gabriel de Chathei, Mons. Alons Claristanc, Mons. Sciamon de Ley and another `whose name I do not remember.' The French were losing when one of them, who preferred to die a heretic, set fire to the gunpowder. All the French who escaped death were brought to the King. Another French ship the Admiralda was sunk. The French King boasted that with one ship he would wipe out the English fleet, but, thanks to God and the justice of our cause, it happened otherwise; for one ship of ours has wiped out almost all his maritime forces. To-day we learnt that our affairs in Aquitaine prosper and that our captain general has devastated and burnt the whole country about Bayonne.
