806. In P.S., for "gentleman" read "gentlewoman."

132, l. 41, "the Queen his mother."—The mother of John Cardinal of Lorraine (and also of Anthony, duke of Lorraine) was Philippine de Gueldres, second wife of René II. duke of Lorraine. The title queen was perhaps a family sobriquet. She was

a lady of great age, having married in 1485, lost her husband in 1508, and become a religieuse of the Order of St. Clair in 1520. She died in 1547.

144 page 55, line 2 from bottom. His "companion" was Heynes.

161. A copy of this letter (apparently one retained by lord Lisle for his own use) has been noticed in the year 1537. (Vol. XII. Part II. No. 564)——prematurely, as appears by the address of this letter, for the Admiral was not earl of Southampton until October 1537. The discrepancy in the first line, "John Bradfyld" in the copy in Vol. XII. and "Thomas Bradfelde" here is in the originals.

164 (p. 65 line 11). For Rochester read Rocester.

226 1. 10. For "ambassador" read "ambassadors."

360. "Lord Conyas." This must be John lord Conyers, whose father Christopher had died in the preceding June. See note (above) to Part I. No. 1351 footnote. Being a minor, he required Cromwell's leave to come up to London.

394. Some of the signatures have been misread. For "Dode" read "Dodd," for "Arcelen" read "Astelen." And the doubtful name "Woner" should probably be read "Wover" as it is "Over" in No. 650.

403 (2) ll. 23, 24. There was no bp. of Ostia at that time called Michael, the succession being as follows: Raphael Galcotto (1503–21), Bernardin Carvajal (1521–15 Dec. 1522), Francis Soderinus (to 18 May 1524), Nicolas Fliscus (June and July 1524), Alex. Farnese (1525–35). Italia Sacra.

454 1. 8, "Sir .........knight." The lost name is "Sir [John Dudley] knight." See Lord Lisle's letter to Cromwell, No. 990.

537. Supply reference in margin "C.'s Letters, 330."

830 (5), for "Pp. 8" read "Pp. 6."

835 margin, for Cott. App. I." read "Cott. App. L."

909. From this letter it is clear that No. 1291 in Vol. XII. Part I. belongs really to 1538. The bracketed query "[his]" in that letter is wrong, as Sir Anthony Browne was Fitz-william's half-brother. It was evidently written after the receipt of Fitzwilliam's letter of the 13 Dec. (No. 1035 in this Part). Compare No. 1006 just before, written on the 8 Dec.

965, margin, for "Otho. IX" read "Otho. C. IX."

967 (54) col. 2. ll. 33, 34. Between these two lines the following words have been omitted: "of Ric. Williams, alias Crumwell, nephew of the said Thos. Lord Crumwell and the heirs of his body; and in default of such issue to the use."

1063 margin, for "Vesp. XIII" read "Vesp. F. XIII."

1122 margin, for "Cleop. IV." Read "Cleop. E. IV."
