26 June. R. O. St. P., IX. 64.	435. The Council to Paget. The King has received his of the 13th and 20th, and is pleased with his diligence and dexterity. As to "their fond suspicions and imaginations" that the King intends war against them and has concluded an amity and marriage with the Emperor for that purpose, and as to the renovation of their former treaty (fn. 1) here; the Emperor's ambassador was here at Court in the Whitson holidays about the edicts on both sides, of which our merchants complained, and then went to Flanders for a resolution, and, since his return, has been here for the same purpose, and it is agreed that they shall revoke their edict, and the King afterwards surcease his statute, but as for amity, league or marriage, whatever overtures have been made, there is none concluded; and so you may affirm to the Admiral and all of the Council who speak of it. If they suggest renewing the overtures lately made by the French king, you may say you can give no certain advice, but think that if they renew it they will have reasonable answer, provided they offer reasonable conditions, to show "that they seek rather friendship than gain and lucre;" for the King is easily induced to grant reason where it is reasonably, and with honest reciproque, required.

28 June. Spanish Calendar, VI. II., No. 11.	438. Mary Of Hungary to Chapuys. Waiting for news of what he may have already negociated. Sends packet of letters from the king of the Romans, addressed to the Councillor de St. Moris, with credentials and instructions. As St. Moris is not likely soon to return from Spain, sends Chapuys a copy of his instructions, that he may excuse him if detained on his way to England. He was sent to beg Henry's assistance against the Turk, and Chapuys is meanwhile to use his instructions as if addressed to himself. Francis is daily increasing his army on the Luxemburg frontier, and the infantry force which his ministers have raised on the side of Cleves and Gueldres. We have remonstrated through the Imperial ambassador and asked if he mean to observe the truce of Nice. But he only says that the assembly on the frontier of Cleves is for defence, not invasion, as long as we do not give him occasion, for he hears Henry is about to make alliance with the Emperor and the Count de Roculx is meditating an attack on some French towns. He has also sent a gentleman to give us notice that he intends sending his own officers to St. Pol to administer justice, and collect the revenue— a formal demonstration that he means war. We have therefore ordered the immediate levy of 25,000 foot and 4,000 horse, with which force, and that of the King of England's subjects in those parts, we hope to defend our frontiers. We have discovered treacherous dealings here and there to surprise towns and fortresses. Brussels, 28 June 1542. From a draft in the Vienna Archives.
29 June. Spanish Calendar, VI. II., No. 12.	439. Chapuys to Mary Of Hungary. Has just received hers of the 25th inst. Could not have written sooner what passed when he was last at Court, owing to a fit of the gout in his right hand, which seized him upon his return from Greenwich. Moreover, things have not advanced one step, these Councillors insisting on an additional clause being appended to the treaty of Cambray about commercial intercourse, in order to make it perpetual. Another difficulty is that in the article about rebels they will only comprise the Emperor's Spanish subjects, not those of the Empire. They insist also on the defensive aid being given at the time the offensive league is executed, and that the obligation shall only last four months in every year, either consecutively or as need requires, and that if either prince wants them longer he shall pay for them himself, unless the other requires them for his own defence. They wish it also agreed that these auxiliaries may be employed by a prince, not only for defence of his territory, but for pursuit of his enemy within his own kingdom; and, further, that if either prince be invaded, the aggressor shall be held the common enemy of both. This is an article on which they particularly insist; also that the invasion of France be fixed beforehand not later than 1 July next year. They decline to make a special article against the Dukes of Cleves and Holstein. After long disputes on these points, and much bravado on the part of the English, as if they did not need our services, we have agreed—though not without some mystery, which time will unravel—that the promise in the Emperor's note to keep the matter secret should be prolonged till October next, and that the King, on my assurance of the Emperor's good will, would send to Spain the bp. of Westminster, one of the deputies, to settle the points amicably; that meanwhile, to prepare matters, Chapuys should be always near the King (as in fact he has been ever since his return from Flanders) till a final settlement be reached, as he hopes it will be in the next 24 hours. The Bp. is to leave immediately for a seaport 150 miles off, and will be accompanied by a man of Chapuys's, bearer of this. If, however, George, the Imperial messenger, should arrive meanwhile— which would be a most fortunate coincidence—and if his stay here is to be short, Chapuys will endeavour to have the Bp.'s departure delayed, and make George the bearer. Forgot to mention that he heard on his return to London that the King had willingly enough granted that the defensive league should comprise the Emperor's Spanish subjects, as well as those of the Low Countries in case of an invasion from the French or Mr. D'Allebrecht, but not from any other belligerents, and that the article should be drawn, first in English and afterwards in Latin; but four or five days later the whole was changed, and there was no more talk of it. Mons. de Reuz, whom he met at St. Omer, told him that, with a few English soldiers, such a body of horse and foot as could be hastily collected in Artois without causing alarm could easily take Monstreul by surprise, and it could be fortified during the winter; and that after they had over-run the neighbouring country, Hesdin, Therouenne, Ardres, and even Boulogne would have to surrender. On his return Chapuys submitted this plan to the King, who was marvellously pleased with it, and approved of Chapuys's advice to send a message to the Emperor on the subject, and write to the Capt. of Guisnes to put himself in communication with De Roeux. The King is now arming a number of warships, not to be taken unawares. No news of this country, except that the King has still by him the earl of Desmond, the chief lord of Ireland, who has come to do him homage—a thing many of his ancestors never consented to do. London, 29 June 1542. From the Vienna Archives.
29 June. R. O. St. P., IX. 65.	440. For a Treaty with Charles V. Agreement between the commissioners that the edict in Flanders, against export in English ships, shall be, as soon as possible, revoked; and, that done, subjects of the Emperor, both of his Low Countries and Spain, shall be made exempt from the statute of 33 Hen. VIII. Hampton Court, 29 June 1542. Signed : "Orator, ac commissarius Cesaree Ma^tis, Eustachius Chapuys." Latin, p. 1.
R. O. St. P., IX. 66.	2. Similar agreement that neither party shall before October next negociate with any other prince, spiritual or temporal, anything to the prejudice of the other; and that any treaty of closer amity between the parties shall be kept secret from all other princes, spiritual or temporal. Dated 29 June 1542. Signed like §1. Latin, p. 1. Endd.: "Two articles agreed on with th'Emperor's ambassador."
30 June. Spanish Calendar, VI. II., No. 13.	441. Chapuys to Charles V. The bp. of Winchester, having lately been obliged to leave his house for fear of the illness (sweating sickness) (fn. 2) and to come near Chapuys's lodging, Chapuys has had every opportunity of being civil to him. One day when he came to dine with Chapuys they conversed from early morning to late in the evening of the state of Christendom, the Turk and the practises of the French. Finds the bp. very well inclined to the closer friendship. The day after his visit to Chapuys he was invited to dinner by the Lord Privy Seal, and on his return spent a few hours again with Chapuys, as he did also in the two following days. He, the lord Privy Seal and Wriothesley, thought Chapuys should apply for an audience with the King to say he feared his offers in the Emperor's name had been misunderstood, as he had had no reply. The time was favourable, they said, as they had just done him the signal service of promoting the loan in Parliament, which had already brought in an incalculable sum of money, and this would give them greater opportunities of seconding Chapuys's views. Sent accordingly on the 16th (fn. 3) for an audience, which was granted on the 18th. (fn. 3) Just after the return of his man from Greenwich the bp. of Winchester gave him the Emperor's letter of the 3rd, (fn. 3) with the powers therein mentioned, and other papers that Mr. Quenevet (Knyvet) had forwarded from Orleans, who pretended that he was detained there by illness, and the fatigue of travel, but really awaited the return of one of his secretaries, whom he had despatched a month before to learn how his own affairs stood in England, and whether it was safe for him to come. The packet came quite safe, and the Bp. shortly after called on him, showing great satisfaction at his having received the powers from the Emperor. Talked with him about the best means of persuading the King to the closer friendship, and he approved Chapuys's plan, except that he ought not to tell the King it was expedient in his own interests. That his own Councillors would endeavour to show him. Agreed with this advice, which has been his general policy. Went to the King on Ascension day, (fn. 4) and was received rather more cordially than usual. He was then going to mass, and he thanked Chapuys for his zeal in the matter, and was glad his powers had come, as he could speak more frankly what was in his mind; but Chapuys must promise the strictest secrecy, both for himself and the Emperor. This promise being given, he said what had made him keep neutrality hitherto was a suspicion that there was some secret agreement between the Emperor and Francis to reveal to each other whatever passed between one or the other party, and himself. Chapuys said he knew of no such agreement; (fn. 5) if there was such it must have depended on the truce of Nice, which the French had violated many a time, and the Emperor had ample occasion, not only to mistrust them, but to form leagues against them; that the Emperor had always been desirous of the increase of alliances with England, and that, if he had known one tenth part of what he now knew of the malice and perfidy of the French, Henry would not have had to complain of his answer when he called upon him after Francis's capture at Pavia to continue the war. But, he trusted that are long, there would even be a better opportunity of bringing Francis to reason. The King seemed pleased with his speech, but was then going to chapel, and promised to reply fully after dinner. After dinner he sent word by the Lord Privy Seal that he could not give him audience at once, as he had just received letters from France with the contents of which he would make Chapuys acquainted; and he desired him to come to his private chamber, where he would be found "à la domestique, en robe de nuyt." Was conducted to the King by the lord Admiral. Henry began by saying Judas non dormit, and that the French were continuing their bad practices. They were expecting Count Guillaume de Furstenberg with 8,000 lanzknechts, and M. de Longheval, who would one day be Grand Master of France, had started for Cleves, not only to excuse Francis to Duke William for not having been able to send him his promised wife, but to induce him to send troops to Gueldres, while the Duke of Holstein would attack the Dutch by sea. The letters further said that it was most important for the Low Countries to keep an eye on the castle of La Moutière (sic), which the French sought to surprise. They were also continuing their practises in Italy, especially with the Venetians, whom they were helping by their influence with the Turk. So that there was great appearance of the Emperor being molested on many sides. Chapuys replied that the Emperor's affairs were in no such plight, and while he had been soliciting the King's alliance he had taken care to preserve old friendships, and make fresh ones; that the French were quite mistaken in acting as they did, and that it would not cost a farthing for the King and Emperor to defend themselves mutually. The King said, before determining about the alliance he must know what the Emperor intended about the duchies of Milan and Gueldres. Said, as to Milan, he had no idea; as to Gueldres, the Emperor could not act otherwise than he had done, or abandon the pursuit, his right being evident. As to Milan, the King said that considering the difficulty of defending countries so far apart, the Emperor might keep it for life and get the estates of the Empire to defend it, on the understanding that it should be incorporated with them after his death. As to Gueldres its conquest would be difficult, owing to the hatred of the people to the inhabitants of Brabant, and, considering his relations with Germany and France, the Duke might be a dangerous enemy if the marriage so much talked of should take place; also while using his forces against Gueldres the Emperor would be prevented from driving the French out of Piedmont. The King thought it would be better to gain over the Duke, who must now be dissatisfied with the French for not having given him a wife. Were Henry called to settle the matter he would offer him one of his own daughters. In that way the Emperor's honor would be safeguarded —he might grant the duchy of Gueldres to the Duke, on such conditions as he and the Queen of Hungary thought fit, and make use of the forces of Gueldres and Cleves. That would cut short the designs of Francis for this year at least, and the Turk, finding that he could not stir, might quarrel with him for not fulfilling promises. To this Chapuys replied that there was no need of incorporating Milan with the Empire, as there were plenty of other means of setting the German states against France, without counting the effect of a good victory over the Turk, for as the King himself confessed, the Germans were well aware that Francis was the sole cause of his descent on Christendom, and would no doubt unite with the Emperor and him for the double purpose (1) of indemnifying themselves for expenses incurred, and (2) to clip the wings of France so that he should interfere no further. By these means the other Christian powers could easily be brought into the league, for, if the Emperor took up arms, this would be a fiercer war than ever, the Cortes having lately voted a marvellous sum on condition that he did not leave Spain or make peace till Francis was no longer able to trouble Christendom. But as to the disposal of Milan, the alliance once made, the Emperor would value Henry's advice more than that of any other person, and he need not fear his becoming again friends with Francis if the latter abated his pretensions, for the Emperor could never trust him again. As to Gueldres, he said, the thing was not so impossible as he supposed. It was not clear that the Duke of Cleves would be supported in his claims by Germany, considering that his ancestors, paternal and maternal, had not only relinquished all right to it, but promised to assist in its defence when needful, and the Emperor relied on Henry to aid him in the conquest of Gueldres, just as Henry's father had assisted King Philip; that the task would be easier now that the Emperor had acquired Groningen and the lands the last Duke of Gueldres held in Friesland (?), besides towns in Utrecht and Overviesel. Showed that it would be an advantage to England if Gueldres was in the Emperor's hands, and that means might be found of detaching the Duke of Cleves from France. The King then began to talk of an indemnity for the loss of his French pensions, on which Chapuys replied, as graciously as he could, with arguments in addition to those he had used to his deputies; which the King took well, and said no more. He complained, however, that secrecy had not been observed; for the French had heard of the negotiations, and were endeavouring to rouse the Pope's indignation. Chapuys denied that the information had come from their side, and the King made a like denial on his, but, with courteous language, again recommended the greatest secrecy—like the Florentine who had a sermon preached against usury that bankers might abstain from it and he himself profit by it. He ended by saying that he would promptly have powers made for the bps. of Durham, Winchester, and Westminster to treat with Chapuys, and seemed this time to be quite in earnest. Judged so especially from what he said about the Emperor's government of the Low Countries, though Chapuys had prepared the ground by flattery of his wisdom, with which he was much pleased. When he said the French were continually offering him ladies to marry, Chapuys pleased him by answering that no doubt they would do as they did in the case of the Princess, now Queen of Scotland, for in marriages they always broke treaty with England, Francis having given his daughter to the King of Scotland and married the Dauphin to the niece of the Pope (Clement VII.), then Henry's greatest enemy, and if they did such things openly they must have done worse in secret. To darken the picture, told some anecdotes of Francis and his ministers; and added that, had it been in the Emperor's power to gratify him with a wife, it would have been heartily done; "et quoique eusse [a] blasonner les armes des dits François," he would not deny that the French King and Dauphin were "bien affectionez," not towards him but towards his country, of the conquest of which the Dauphin has often spoken. In reply to the King's assertion that the French had frequently owned their debt to him, and were ready to pay him by instalments, Chapuys said for a much smaller sum they would take a thousand oaths, but they never intended to pay him. The King answered that they wished to pay, but had not the means, and that they had lately proposed to pay him out of the first towns and castles taken in a joint war against the Emperor. Chapuys replied that he would see how they sought to evade payment by making such an iniquitous proposal; whereas he might easily get the money by joining the Emperor, as he himself had once owned. Took leave then of the King and returned to London, where, lest the negociation should not turn out so well as he hoped, he at once wrote down every word of his conversation with the King. Had several conferences with the King's deputies from Saturday after Ascension to Whitsun Eve (fn. 6) (20-27 May), and on the latter day they were all summoned to Hampton Court, where, out of regard for the Emperor, Chapuys was received in a manner that baffles description. On resuming the conferences, after four days' debating, Southampton lord Privy Seal and Mr. Wrisley proposed that a rough draft of the articles already discussed should be drawn up for the King's inspection. But as there were two articles that he had refused to pass, viz., of the defensive alliance not comprising Spain, and of the aid demanded by the King for an offensive one and for a joint invasion of France, with indemnity for the loss of the French pension, it was agreed that Chapuys should write to the Queen of Hungary, and, to prevent mistakes, show his letter (fn. 7) and copy of the two articles to the Deputies. The Deputies were much pleased with Chapuys's compliance and his offer to go over to Flanders for quicker despatch of the business. And the King ordered his own sedan chair for Chapuys's use, and a vessel for his transport to Calais, where he accomplished in a few days what the Emperor already knows. On his return was again well received by the King, who, however, was a little dissatisfied at hearing that the Imperial ambassador was still at the Court of France and that he had even made overtures for peace; but he accepted Chapuys's excuses, and let him retire to rest. Since then has been engaged with the Deputies for 8 or 10 days in the specification of particulars, which he thought had been already settled connected with the above two articles, e. g., as to the extradition of rebels, which they will not understand to include rebels against the Empire, and as to the treaty of Cambray, in which they would introduce a clause which Chapuys thinks inadmissible, tending somewhat to perpetuate the present commercial treaties. His chief objection, however, was to a clause added to the 6th article to forbid liberty of trading to enemies of either party; on which Chapuys referred to art. 24 in the treaty of Windsor, and answered arguments in reply. Has forborne to stipulate in the defensive alliance that the obligation of defence shall last as long as the offensive alliance, as the condition would involve an intolerable charge to the Emperor. The King thinks the [obligation of the] defensive league should last 4 months, while Chapuys has in vain stipulated for 5; but as it is reciprocal we need not object. Specifies some other demands of the English and the objections to them. Among these they desired that the aid by sea should be definite and not convertible into money; which Chapuys has not dared to concede, because if Flanders were invaded on the side of Gueldres or Friesland, no assistance by sea would be needed. What the English thought almost scandalous was that while we solicited them to an offensive league, we would not agree that the invasion should take place within a year, as it was important to fix a time; but Chapuys dared not decide without consulting the Emperor on that and on the terms of the declaration of war. Has not been able to get the English to agree to give help against Cleves and Holstein, much less to a specific article in the treaty touching them, as Chapuys had said he would be content with the two dukes being considered common enemies if they invaded. Omits several of the English objections as they will doubtless be brought forward by the bp. of Winchester (sic : for Westminster?), and to give his own arguments when Granvelle is now there would be like trying to increase the sun's light with a candle. The King did not at first intend to send an ambassador extraordinary, but he has now decided to send the above-named bp. [of Westminster], a worthy ecclesiastic, said to be most favourable to the alliance. Most of the objections raised by the Deputies are trifling, and the Emperor should not make too much of them. For when this King decides on anything he goes the whole length; and, considering that he is now at peace with all his neighbours, and profiting by their dissensions, yet is ready to throw himself into a maze of difficulties for the service of God and the welfare of Christendom, it would be prudent to accept his terms with some slight modifications. Besides, many opportunities will occur of modifying the articles before the offensive league is concluded, and the English were never more set on going to war with the French, owing especially to their intelligence with the Turk, besides the old hatred between the two nations. It has also been agreed that the clause forbidding one party to treat without the knowledge of the other is to be made still clearer and more binding; that the time of the obligation is to be extended, profound secrecy kept, and a deed drawn up concerning "the navigation and its revocation edict," as shown in the enclosed documents. Has kept for a bonne bouche at the end of his despatch that, on his return from Flanders, he met at St. Omer Mons. du Ruz, who said, if he had only 4,000 Englishmen in addition to the horse and foot he could suddenly raise in Artois, he could easily surprise Montreuil, and over-run the neighbouring country, provided the enterprise took place within three months, and it would be easy to keep it and fortify it during winter. The enemy then would not be so foolish as to lay siege to it, and Hesdin, Therouenne, Ardres, and Boulogne would soon fall, for the harbour of the last is so bad that in winter they could not get supplies. Has informed the King of this, and advised him to send a message to the Queen of Hungary; and, meanwhile, let the governor of Guisnes communicate with Mons. du Ruz. Thinks no better bait could have been thrown to draw this King into a war. Advises that the subject be discussed in preference to any other. Hopes to obtain through it the King's assistance against the Turk. Indeed, not many days ago he was, according to the lord Privy Seal, on the point of sending 50,000 cr. to the King of the Romans. As the roads through France will henceforth be closed for English as well as Imperial couriers, and, if the present negotiations end well, the King says it is important that the Emperor and he should be in constant and almost daily communication, he is now sending, with the bp. of Westminster, a sea captain to purchase in Spain two zabras, trusting that the Emperor will fit out two others to be always ready in port to bring or convey messages. The Queen Regent herself recommends this. Has just received the Emperor's letter of the 5th, which he will obey. The French ambassador has not visited the Court since Holy Week. The receiver De Neufchastel, gentleman-in-waiting to the Admiral of France, went from hence brusquement depesché without seeing the King. There is no longer any question of the business that brought him, touching the Orleans marriage. It is true these people, thinking they might gain something by communicating the news, tell me that their ambassador had written to say that according to the Admiral's report, if the negociations for the Orleans marriage did not succeed other offers would be made to secure this King's friendship, or neutrality at least.

30 June. Spanish Calendar, I. II. No. 14.	442. Chapuys to Granvelle. Cannot sufficiently thank him for the care he takes of his interests, as appears by the letters of 3 May. Is vexed to hear of the bp. of London's importunities, not only on account of the annoyance he must give to the Emperor and Granvelle, but because he has given the latter no time to attend to Chapuys's private affairs, without a settlement of which he remains in a shameful state of perplexity. Hopes, by the Emperor's flattering words, soon to get relief. Trusts the bp. will be a little more modest in future, taking example by the bp. of Westminster now going out. If the English had been reasonable, affairs would have been already concluded here. But they almost look for carte blanche in everything, exaggerating the Emperor's need of help, and saying that the Dukes of Cleves and Holstein are on the point of invading Flanders. Shut their mouths by telling them in confidence that Cleves would easily treat with us about Gueldres if we only engaged to help him against England, and that Holstein was making very good offers to the Emperor's nieces, (fn. 8) and would transfer to them all the claims he made against England, promising great assistance to conquer it. In truth the English are right to try and ascertain the state of the Emperor's affairs, as it is to them a question of launching into a sea of difficulties and running risks with us when they could easily pass along in the midst of the storm. Can assure Granvelle it is not without mystery he has conducted them so far, telling them how much the Emperor did for them in lending himself to this close friendship. Among other things told them of the ill will of the French, and that the Dauphin has often said, half in jest, half in earnest, that he was Henry's spiritual son, and meant to be his temporal son and successor, — that it would be quite right, in future, for Kings of France to call themselves Kings of England, as those of England had called themselves of France, and that there never was a King Henry in France who was not King of England also. (fn. 9) Granvelle knows how important it is to make friends of the English at present, to check the malice of the French who, regardless of what Granvelle has done for them at other times, would like to see him now at the bottom of the sea. If the present negociation should fail, it would have been much better that it had never been begun; for if this King, in his disappointment, became our enemy, ships between Flanders and Spain could not touch at an English port. Granvelle will understand that to please the King he has introduced phrases into his dispatch that he has shown. (fn. 10) Begs him also to believe that what he has written to the Emperor was only out of devotion to his service, for he has received no other presents from the King than a few artichokes once, and on another occasion a buck and one large fish, a dolphin, which had been presented to him. Ventures further to suggest, as Don Inigo used to do and De Praet did lately to the Queen, that a few pensions should be distributed here. The Councillors who now enjoy the King's favour are only two, the lord Privy Seal and Secretary Wriothesley. Two others, though King's favourites, depend upon them, viz., the Admiral and the Grand Squire. These latter would be satisfied with little. The bp. of Winchester would be content with the honour of the thing, and deserves some sort of reward, having been the first to begin this negociation out of his good will to the Emperor. Says nothing about the idea the Emperor once had of sending from Flanders a personage with letters to this King, for the Emperor knows best. Has obtained by stealth a transcript of the draft treaty, which these people once made, and which they have since changed in many places, as Granvelle will see by the draft which the bp. of Winchester (Westminster) took with him. Has also sent a copy of the articles as they were drawn, discussed, and almost approved, but this must be kept very secret. Begs him, however, to tell the English ambassadors that Chapuys has worked wonders to bring the negociation to a close. Wishes him to think about the zabras. Is constantly fighting the Deputies about Cleves and Holstein, with the same arguments they opposed to him about the rebels, and finds that the King had previously made separate agreements with each of these Dukes contrary to our interests. The King's deputies advise the suppression of the title "bel oncle" in the letters addressed to him by the Emperor, and of Princess to the lady Mary; and those about the Regent agree. Begs Granvelle to press his claim for some reward for his incessant toil since Ascension day. Has not been able to write this in his own hand for the gout, though it is better now. The disease has even impaired his mental powers, as this rambling letter shows. Cannot mention the praises which these deputies bestow on Granvelle, especially the lord Privy Seal and Secretary Wriothesley, and the bp. of Winchester. Hampton Court, 30 June 1542.
