21 Nov.	1362. The Privy Council.
Nicolas' P.C.P., vii. 271.	Meeting at Westm., 21 Nov. Present: Norfolk, Privy Seal, Gt. Chamb., Hertford, Gt. Admiral, Winchester, Comptroller, Mr. of Horse, Wriothesley, Sadler. Business:—John Hoddes, of Clay, Suff. (sic), explained what he did with certain forfeited money of Thos. Towley. Letter sent to Sir Wm. Musgrave touching the mastership of the ordnance at Carlisle.
21 Nov.	1363. Paget to Henry VIII.
R. O. St. P., viii. 635.	On the 20th inst., lord William and he came to the French Court, upon the advertisement of the Admiral, with whom they dined, and who afterwards presented them to the King. Describes conversation with the King, who, after talking of the Emperor's arrival in Africa, Barbarossa's embarking with 200 galleys, the surprise of Buda by the Turk, and the carrying of the Waywode's wife and son into Turkey (as lord William will declare), expressed his sorrow to hear of the miserable behaviour of the Queen, saying that his ambassador wrote that she had used herself wondrous lewdly with one Derram and with a gentleman of the Privy Chamber. (fn. 1) In return, gave an account of the affair as far as he knew it. The queen of Navarre also, after long discourse, of which lord William has notes, spoke of the Queen as the French king had done, and said she was glad to be able to declare the truth of it, for there had been (naming the Constable) and were yet (naming the cardinals (fn. 2) and the Chancellor, who gaped to be a cardinal) in this Court men who were glad to deprave the king of England's doings. She said she had lately reminded her brother how much he owed to Henry and yet what ear he had given to his (Henry's) enemies. Six Spaniards who came out of Spain with the archbishop of Valaunce, who had fled to Avignon, to the bp. of Rome's legate, who rules there now that the French garrison is withdrawn, have lately been carried off by a band of men who entered the town by night, probably at the French king's command. Here is come from the king of Denmark his secretary, Petrus Suevius, and a gentleman called Hans Billez, with 30 servants, conducted by the Countie Glik, who went to Denmark with Guyene herald about midsummer. They arrived on the 15th inst. and were despatched the day Paget was presented. Hears they concluded a league offensive and defensive. Today arrived Sir Horacio de Fernesis, the bp. of Rome's son's son, to serve the French king. Thinks lord William has written of the duke of Lorraine's departure hence with his son, the duke of Barre, and his new wife, the duchess of Milan. Their entertainment here was but cold, as the house of Lorraine has lost credit. The French king's next progress will be into Picardy, but whether before or after Christmas is not known, and they bruit an interview with Henry and marriage between lady Mary and the duke of Orleans. Such news is here invented as needed; for instance, the French king gave as fresh news to be sent to Henry, touching the Emperor and Barbarossa, what he had openly told at table eight days ago. Indeed, the Emperor is in no such distress, and Barbarossa has about 60 galleys ready which threaten Sicily. Begs pardon for writing rashly in reproach of the French king's news. Melun, 21 Nov.

22 Nov.	1366. Marillac to Francis I.
R. O. Kaulek, 363. (The whole text.)	Relates the whole story of the Queen's case; her beauty and sweetness, and the King's affection for her; her proved amours with Durant, a poor gentleman of the household of her aunt, the old duchess of Norfolk, stepmother of the present Duke, before she was Queen; and presumptive amours with him afterwards (for he continued one of her chamber), and with Colpepre, who had been from childhood brought up in the King's chamber, and ordinarily shared his bed, and apparently wished to share the Queen's too, to judge by their manner of meeting at Lincoln and other places. Only a month ago a lady (fn. 3) who had been long in the said Duchess's house, told her brother (fn. 4) that she wondered at the King's taking for Queen one who had lived so incontinently before marriage. The brother, knowing that it would be high treason not to reveal such a thing within 24 hours, consulted a friend, and, by common advice, they revealed all to the archbishop of Canterbury; and he, by advice of the Chancellor and lord of Hertford, uncle of the young prince of Wales, wrote it out, and the morrow of All Saints, during the celebration of mass for the dead, presented the writing to the King at Hampton Court. The King consulted his Council, and the informers were, upon other pretexts, arrested and questioned. Durant, arrested by the lord Privy Seal, confessed; other witnesses told what they knew; the Queen, after denying all to Norfolk, confessed to the Archbishop; and Durant, to show his innocence since the marriage, said that Colpepre had succeeded him in the Queen's affections. Points out the surprising similarity to the case of the late Queen Anne, how Colpepre has succeeded Master Nourriz, who was in like favour with his master, and how the widow of the late lord of Rochefort conducted Colpepre's practices just as her late lord encouraged the adulteries of his sister, Queen Anne. As soon as the case was proved, proclamation was made at Hampton Court that she had forfeited her honour, and should be proceeded against by law, and was henceforth to be named no longer Queen, but only Katharine de Auvart. Lady Mary was then taken to Richmond, and thence to the young Prince, her brother. Soon after, the Queen was taken to Sion nunnery, where she remains in charge of her vice-chamberlain and almoner, with four ladies and a dozen servants. Meanwhile they have sent to Lincoln and other places where she was found with Colpepre, to have her solemnly judged, preparations are made to lodge her in the Tower, and Norfolk says she shall die, and specially because the King could not marry again while she lives. Colpepre's estates are distributed and he is in the Tower awaiting execution; as also is lady Rochefort, who all her life had the name to esteem her honour little, and has thus in her old age shown little amendment. The Queen's sister is released as innocent; she had been dismissed from her sister's chamber in favour of lady Rochefort. The woman who knew of Durant's matter and eight others are imprisoned for further examination, and it is presumed that worse is to come. Enlarges upon the scandal, of which people think more than they say. There is no talk of the King taking back Madame de Cleves. Norfolk has come to complain that the marriage of Orleans and lady Mary is common bruit in France. Answered him that the world often spoke at random, and there was no great harm done if it took effect. He replied that a person of authority (fn. 5) had, at Guisnes, recounted to Wallop all their conversation at York, adding that the treaty should be concluded at Norfolk's coming, who had gone to his house, and praying Wallop to help towards a good issue a matter agreeable both to Francis and Orleans. Norfolk said this gave those who were jealous of him occasion to denounce him to the King as wishing to embrace all great affairs of state, and therefore to avoid suspicion, especially at the time of this trouble, he dare not do all the good offices he intended.

22 Nov.	1367. Aguilar and Granvelle to Charles V.
Add. 28,593, f. 64. B. M.	Wrote on the 14th all that had occurred, and how the bp. of Fossombrone, the Pope's first Secretary and Datary, who was to be sent to France for the observance of the truce and the release of the abp. of Valencia, had actually left three days before; and that on the 11th the bp. had been instructed to speak to King Francis about the best means of promoting peace. Substance of conferences with the Pope and Cardinals (1) on the Council, which he and the Cardinals thought needful to be held, but not in a German city, not even Trent, which, though suitable enough as being on the confines of Italy, was narrow and unhealthy. Some proposed Mantua, some Ferrara, but the writers objected to any place in Italy for fear of exasperating the Germans, and the Pope agreed that the place should be one to their satisfaction. Cambray was also suggested, but the writers asked, what if Francis refused to go thither? (2) as to reform of the clergy; (3) ratification of the Catholic league; (4) the Diet to be held at Spires, 14 Jan., for aid against the Turk, which was urgent as the Turk was expected to come next spring both by sea and land; (5) as to the creation of Cardinals, to redress the inequality of Imperial and French Cardinals.

R. O.

23 Nov.	1372. Francis I. to Marillac.
R. O. Kaulek, 368. (Abstract.)	Has received his letters of the 14th inst., and afterwards those of the 11th, of the language held to him touching the marriage spoken of in the North (effect recited). As Francis has a secret treaty with the Emperor not to treat with England without each other's knowledge, (fn. 6) which Marillac is to mention to no person living, if the King of England did not wish to conclude (of which there is some presumption from his demanding a power which is as yet unnecessary and refusing letters of credence) he could not get a better way to completely sever Francis from the Emperor than by showing that Francis had given a power to treat with him. And Francis thinks the Emperor would give much for such an occasion; at least, this obstacle to his treating with them openly would be removed. But, to obviate all that, will send two powers, one pure and ample, the other with conditions. If Marillac sees that they really mean to proceed he shall show the first, but not allow a copy to be taken: and if there appears to be dissimulation he shall show the other, in order to test their intention. This affair is to be secret and discovered to as few persons as possible. Approves his reasons given in cipher for the King of England taking back the sister of M. de Cleves; but it seems by his last letter that the King does not intend to marry again. Is sorry for Henry's grief and will shortly send a gentleman to condole with him. French. Modern transcript, pp. 3. Headed.: Fontainebleau, 23 Nov. 1541.

If Falckner sends it back would like him to send with it three reams of the best paper manufactured by Froschover. If he has better quality than that of the present sheet wants two or three reams more for Miles Coverdale and the other Englishmen here. Will pay Froschover or Falckner for it at next fair, &c. Sends some maxims on which he would like to have Bullinger's opinion when he sees him. Thank Falckner for the butter. Acknowledged in his last the letter by the Frenchman Von Homberg. Sends by bearer a quart of fenugreek. My wife salutes yours. God keep you from the pestilence.

Business:—John Cheney, son and heir of Sir Thos.

26 Nov.	1376. [Sir] John Dudley to the Earl of Rutland.
Rutland Papers (Hist. MSS. Com.), i. 28.	The King, thank God, is well, “being not a little troubled with this great affair.” At your departing from Court these things which be revealed were “far out of your expectation and mine,” but all true subjects are bound to thank God that “these sudden miseries was so soon revealed.” The Court, 26 Nov. Signed. Add.: At Belvoir.
26 Nov.	1377. John bishop of Chester to Henry VIII.
R. O.	Thanks for committing to him, first the cure spiritual of Bangour, and now of Chester. Though the King at Lekyngfelde, to help him with his first fruits, promised him the revenues of Bangour up to Michaelmas last, which by custom are not levyable until 3 Nov., his agents are refused the payment unless they can show the King's letters. Knows not whether this is by command of the bishop elect (fn. 7) or not. For lack of doctrine and preaching the inhabitants of Chester diocese are much behind the King's subjects of the south. Popish idolatry is like the longer to continue by reason that divers colleges and places, claiming to be exempt from the bishop, have, in accordance with the proclamations, taken down the idols and images accustomed to be worshipped, but keep them and suffer the ignorant people to offer as before. Desires authority to act in all places whether exempt or not. Chester, 26 Nov. Signed: John Chest^r. Pp. 2. Add. Endd.: The bishop of Chester to the K. Majesty, 26 Decemb. (sic) 1541.

He should be despatched hastily. Can get no answer from the Pope as to the “contribution,” but expects the matter of Melrose to be sped. Both Mons. and Madame la Daulphin favour the matter of Mademoiselle of Albany and the master of Montrose. Paris, 26 Nov. See Vol. xiv,, Part ii., No. 592, where this letter is misplaced in 1539.

R. O.	30 Nov. 33 Hen. VIII.:—Kath. Tylney, examined whether the duchess dowager of Norfolk was privy to the familiarity between the Queen and Derham, says she thinks the Duchess only knew that there was love between them. Once she found Derham embracing Mrs. Katharine Howard in his arms and kissing her, and thereat was much offended and gave Derham a blow, and also beat the Queen and gave Joan Bowmar a blow because she was present. When Derham was wanted the Duchess would say, “I warrant you if you seek him in Katharine Howard's chamber ye shall find him there.” After the Queen went to Court the Duchess said Derham was now always asking leave to go. The Duchess did not know of Derham's going to Ireland; for when Katharine Howard, then one of the maidens in the Court, came to see her she asked if she knew where he was, and Katherine answered she knew not. Signed. Pp. 2, with original foliation, ff. 21, 22.
30 Nov.	1386. The Admiral of France to Marillac.
R. O. Kaulek, 369. (Abstract.)	As the King is writing fully, will only add that he thinks coolness is requisite in this affair. There is little news of the Emperor and his journey, except that his people everywhere make processions and prayers for him and become less arrogant. Probably things are not turning out as he desires. French. Modern transcript, p. 1. Headed: 30 Nov. 1541.

Now at the return of Mr. Wingfeld and Mr. Lambert, with their petty captains and standard bearers, to the Court, Wallop highly commends them for their “honest behaviours” in overseeing the workmen, and training them in feats of war on the holydays. The King could not have chosen better men than these and the two captains, (fn. 9) with their petty captains and standard bearers, that remain here. Signed. P. 1. Add.

The French ambassador, by his master's command, though seemingly in his own name, has suggested to the duke of Norfolk a marriage between the duke of Orleans and the princess Mary, which Norfolk approving has communicated to the King. The King also thinks it advantageous for his daughter, but has told the ambassador, through the Duke, that it was useless to speak of it till he had full powers to discuss preliminaries; when the King would be glad to forget old quarrels. After the ambassador had written home, he received a letter from his King instructing him to say that he had communicated on the subject with the Admiral of France, who had informed Francis, and Francis approved, but wished first to be informed (1) in what quality and under what title the Princess would be given in marriage; (2) what advantages he himself would gain by it, implying the total or partial extinction of debts and pensions due to England. Meanwhile he begged that the negotiations be kept a profound secret. After this was communicated to the duke of Norfolk, he delayed answering it a long time, and at last said, that notwithstanding long conferences with the King, who had always been well inclined to the alliance, he could give no decided answer as to the quality of the Princess until the fathers of the two contracting parties had agreed upon the other conditions, viz., the dower, the marriage portion, &c., the Duke saying, as if of himself, that the legitimisation of the Princess would present no difficulty, as of course it would be insisted on by France, though, in his opinion, as long as the prince of Wales and other children the King might have, male or female, except Anne Boleyn's daughter, lived, they would be preferred to her in the succession; and as to the dower, &c., his master wished first to see the ambassador's powers. The ambassador has undertaken to send home the substance of the Duke's answer. Meanwhile, many difficulties stand in the way of the marriage. “Premiers que le duc d'Orleans est trop grand seigneur pour respect du dict Engleterre, que du costé d'Engleterre on ne vouldroit guerres donner à la dite princesse, mais la payer de faveur.” As to the Princess's legitimisation, the French will never allow her claims to be postponed to those of the King's other children, with the sole exclusion of Anne Boleyn's daughter, especially as to immovable property and chattels. As to the succession to the Crown, Parliament will not willingly consent to the Princess ever having it, as some time ago it was expressly forbidden by statute to call her mother otherwise than lady Katharine. The king of England, on the other hand, wishes to know beforehand how the French intend treating the duke of Orleans. No more has been done since September last, except that Francis has ordered his ambassador to inquire what Henry thinks of the case of Cesare Fragoso and Rincon, and whether he approves of his conduct in that affair and in having ordered the arrest of the abp. of Valence. Without an answer to these questions Francis apparently declines to treat of the marriage. Henry at first excused himself from answering by saying that Francis is doubtless better versed in those affairs than himself, but being pressed to state his opinion, he says he knew not how Rincon, who is a Spaniard, could have sinned against his sovereign; and as to Fragoso, who, according to the ambassador, was neither the Emperor's subject nor his, vassal, he found his apprehension rather strange. Francis is spreading the rumour that the Emperor is making this journey because he is unable to resist the Turk, and because he knows the French king's towns to be so well provided that he dare not touch them; and that the Emperor has sought his friendship, suggesting an interview, but he would do nothing without the king of England's counsel.
