21 Dec. Harl. MS. 2057, f. 158b. B. M.	509. Chester. Writ to mayor and sheriffs of Chester to make proclamation of a decree made by the King, with the advice of his Council, and contained in certain schedules (fn. 1) annexed. Walden, 21 Dec., 35 Hen. VIII. Modern copy, ½ p.
21 Dec. Add. MS. 32,653, f. 209. B. M. Hamilton Papers, II., No. 142.	510. Suffolk to Sir George Douglas. Thanks for advertisement of occurrents by his letters of 19 Dec. Much notes his delay in sending his book, subscribed by such of his friends as desire assurance. At his request, has forborne when it had been facile to destroy them; and yet it is unknown whether they are the King's friends or enemies. Prays him to use more seriousness with them, to prove whether they will join for the furtherance of the treaties lately concluded with Scotland, and if so to cause them to subscribe; which if they refuse, neither Suffolk nor Douglas can take them for friends, and Suffolk will take such order for their chastisement as will constrain them to offer what is now required of them, "like as the Carres and Scottes did lately offer it full largely if it could have been accepted." Unless the book is sent shortly, Suffolk cannot grant longer assurance without exceeding his commission. Where Douglas refers to Suffolk the appointment of a day of meeting for redress with his friends of Tividale, forbears until Douglas certifies of the conformity of his said friends of Tividale and the Marshe; for, unless they promise in writing to join in setting forth the treaties, it is vain to appoint a meeting or treat them as friends. Reminds him that they promised to use plainness with each other; and in this he is the rather plain because it is said that the King's enemies are "bolstered" betwixt them by means of this assurance. Is certified that lord Home and his son, the Master of Home, are come home from Edinburgh ill content with the Governor and Cardinal. Now is, therefore, the time for the practice which Douglas said he had in hand to win them to the King. Copy, pp. 3. Headed : "Copie of my lord of Suffolkes lettre to Mr. Douglas," 21 Dec. 1543.

21 Dec. R. O.	511. John Uvedale to Suffolk. On receipt of his letters this night, at midnight, made enquiry for Hilyerde and Riveley, and this morning finds that they departed out of Tyne, southwards at 7 o'clock yesterday morning, upon the report of some fishermen that they "heard a great peal of guns towards the south." It is reckoned that they are now on the Norfolk coast. Will divide among the garrisons, to every captain of 100 men 50l. and to every captain of 50 men 25l., being about 14 days' wages, and then will be almost destitute of money. Begs Suffolk to take no displeasure that he and his retinue are not considered at the same rate; which cannot be done till more treasure comes. Newcastle upon Tyne, 21 Dec. Hol., p. 1.

Usual ceremony described briefly, (as in Part I., No. 803 (2)).

27 Dec. Add. MS. 32,653, f. 211. B.M. Hamilton Papers, II. No 143.	519. Suffolk, Tunstall, and Sadler to the Council. Enclose letters received this day from Sir George Douglas. As Sir George writes that the herald who is now come out of Scotland is to repair to the King "for safe-conduct for ambassadors to treat upon a new peace," and gives his opinion; the writers give their opinion that, as the herald is directed by private authority (most of the nobility not being privy thereunto), he should not be admitted; for his admission would seem to allow the Governor's authority, and the acceptation of such ambassadors would discourage the King's friends. It is no time, now that the King's friends are beginning to stir, for a herald addressed without their knowledge to be admitted. Darneton, 27 Dec. Signed. P.S.—In case the King's friends in Scotland shall proceed to fulfil their promise, they should lack no reasonable aid; for which, nor for the ordinary payment of the garrisons, here is no money. As Parliament begins shortly, Suffolk desires to know whether the noblemen, knights, and burgesses within his lieutenancy are to repair thither or not, that he may give them notice. Enclose a letter from the Master of Maxwell to Wharton, received this morning. In Sadler's hand, pp. 3. Add. Endd. : 1543.
28 Dec. R.O.	520. Richard Bridges and John Knight. Modern office-copy of the grant to Ric. Bridges and John Knight, dated Walden 28 Dec. 35 Hen. VIII. See Grants in December, No. 29. Very mutilated. Bears two impressions of a stamp of a rose surrounded with a scroll bearing the words "Honi soit qui mal y pense," crowned, and with the letters below "F. VI Pence."
28 Dec. Add. MS. 32,653, f. 213. B.M. Hamilton Papers, II., No. 144.	521. Two Members of the Privy Council to Suffolk. The King received his letters of the 26th, with those from Wharton and Sir Wm. and Sir Ralph Eure, late this night; and, therefore, commanded "us twain" to answer as follows :— 1. Touching the herald and the Patriarch's man, the King approves his determination; albeit, if the herald bring answer to Henry Raye's credence, "or any other convenient matter," he should be sent up and the Patriarch's man stayed. 2. By Lindesay's credence, it appears that lord Maxwell has found how he may kill as many in Edinburgh castle as he lists, and so depart. Wharton must forthwith advise him to keep the castle, by the help of such as work his enterprise, until he can "get a greater company of sure folks unto him." 3. By Lindesay's credence it appears that Argile is gone home, purposing to return to Court at New Year's tide, when Dunlanerick and the sheriff of Ayr intend to break with him according to their instructions. As they seem not contented with the division of the money last sent into Scotland, and may not proceed earnestly, it might avoid further expense if Suffolk sent some wise fellow direct to Argile with like instructions, adding specially what aid or hurt he may receive out of Ireland, as in the letters of the 13th. Suffolk shall send such a person now at his repair to Court, and another with like instruction to Hunteley, with this addition, that the King thinks his labour for those noblemen who are in prison beseems his honor and prays him to continue in it; for all except earl Rothes and Hen. Bennaves are the King's prisoners and cannot lawfully be detained from entry when they shall be called for. By the answers the King shall perceive how the games are like to go with these two earls; and the persons sent should learn occurrences. Those sent to the Earls must so handle the matter as in no wise to hinder the practice of the Sheriff and Donlanerick, or give them cause of mistrust. And the instructions which Mr. Sadleyr should have had and those which Henry Raye carried shall therewith be declared to both earls. P.S.—The King likes his device for keeping the prisoners lately taken and calling in those who were taken before. Copy, pp. 7. Endd. : Mynute to the duke of Suffolk, xxviij^o. Decembris 1543, at night.
28 Dec. Add. MS. 32,653, f. 217. B. M. Hamilton Papers, II., No. 145.	522. Suffolk, Tunstall and Sadler to the Council. This night arrived Henry Raye, who, having been in Scotland with commission and instructions to demand the entry of the prisoners, brought the answer sent herewith. He "read his message upon the book" to the earls of Arrayne, Murrey and Rothers, in presence of the Cardinal and others of the Council, at Edinburgh; but Parliament was dissolved and most of the great men departed. The Cardinal answered that he came too late to declare it to the Three Estates, but he should have such answer as the case required. Afterwards the Cardinal told him apart that no man desired more than he did the peace and unity of the realms, and they intended to send a herald for safe-conduct for ambassadors to treat thereupon, for the last treaties took no effect, because passed by private persons who sought their own profit. A sergeant of arms was appointed to see that Raye spoke apart with no one in Edinburgh. With Raye are arrived the Scottish herald and the Patriarch's man mentioned in last letters; whom they have appointed Raye to keep as he was kept in Edinburgh. As the herald told Raye proudly that he had nothing to say to Suffolk, but only to the King, Suffolk will not receive him until the Council reports the King's pleasure. He appears to have only a letter from Arran to the King for safe-conduct for ambassadors to treat a new peace. The Patriarch's man has a letter requiring safe-conduct for the Patriarch, who has "seen almost all the world and, hearing so much honor and goodness of the King's Majesty," desires much to see him. Enclose letters from Captain Borthuyke, "who showeth himself singularly dedicate unto the King's Majesty." Darneton, 28 Dec., at night. Signed. Pp. 3. Add. Endd. : 1543.
30 Dec. Add. MS. 32,653, f. 219. B.M. Hamilton Papers, II., No. 146.	523. Suffolk to Sir George Douglas. Is glad to perceive, by his of 18 Dec., that his brother and the rest of the King's friends, after assembling at Glasco on 3 Jan., will repair to Edinburgh, meeting Douglas and his friends by the way. Albeit they are of such wisdom as to need no advice, Suffolk thinks it good to give his opinion, which is, that, at Edinburgh, they first make proclamations setting forth the false practices of the Cardinal and his adherents to interrupt the peace and marriage, which the pretended Governor and Three Estates ratified, and which the Governor and others are now dishonorably slipped from, by the subtle practices of the Cardinal, who, to please France, cares not into what danger he brings the nobility of Scotland; and how they go about to steal away the young Queen into France; and therefore his brother and the rest are now assembled to see to the preservation of their Sovereign and the observance of the late treaties with England, adding thereto such matter as may best satisfy the common people. Thereupon, they must proceed to deprive the Governor and choose four regents (according to their former determination) with a substantial Council, and also devise to put the Queen in surer custody, get the strongholds into their hands, deliver the prisoners whom their enemies have put in ward, and act like noble men to the annoyance of the adverse party; so that, at least, the treaties may be observed and hostages laid for them. In their just and honorable quarrel God will assist them; and they may be sure that the King will not fail them so long as they show themselves forward to perform their promises. Prays him to communicate this to the rest at their assembly. Will devise for the chastisement of Buckleugh, Cesforde and lord Home, according to his letter. Where he writes that Fernyherst and others of Tividale who will take his brother's part may be assured; they shall receive no damage, if Douglas will send their names. Doubts not but Douglas will take order with them to show themselves friends, and not (as heretofore) annoy Englishmen going to do exploits in Scotland. Will do the like for preservation of Douglas's friends in the Mershe, of whom he says he will send a book; trusting that that book will be subscribed by them to show their conformity to the treaties, as he has before written. Writes to Mr. Shelley to deliver him 100l. Copy, pp 4. Endd. : Copy of the duke of Suffolk lettre to Sir George Douglas, xxx^o Decembris 1543.

R.O.	525. The Viceroy Of Sicily. Memoranda for the Commissioners' conference with the Viceroy of Sicily, as follows :— "First to remember that the King's Majesty hath declared unto us his discourse, and sent us unto him to have conference with him of the same, according to his desire. Item, to require him to repeat the same." Item, to "allow" (approve) the Emperor's device for his own entry into France by Champaigne, and "the distance between both armies" in marching. Item, to show that, as the Emperor, for his commodity, has determined to pass through Champaigne, so the King minds to pass the river of Som at such place as he sees most commodious [altered from to show that that way is dangerous for us, the country being already devastated and "the passage that way lying by strait cawses"]. Item, to agree that each army should act as it sees best, either besieging towns or devastating the [country]. Item (fn. 2), if he "stick upon the meeting of both armies at Paris," to know wherefore, and "to confute that point and to induce him rather that both armies may be at liberty." Item to know the time for setting forth of the armies, the numbers to be no less than the treaty appoints; and remind him that the 2,000 horse and 2,000 foot which the Emperor is bound to furnish to the King must be at Calais, Graveling or St. Omers before the marching of the King's army.

R. O.	3.

Each prince to invade in person (or, if sick, by lieutenant), with his complete army, before 6 June next. The Emperor shall invade by Champaigne and the King by such passage of the Somme as seems easiest; both marching towards Paris, but not hereby bound to make other diligence thither than convenient for obtaining victuals and eschewing danger. Each prince shall have in his army — (blank) footmen, — (blank) horsemen, and — (blank) pieces of great artillery; in which number of the King's army shall be accounted the 2,000 horsemen and 2,000 footmen which the Emperor is, by treaty, bound to send the King, "which is eftsoons promised to be observed and performed in such wise that" they shall be ready at Gravelines or St. Omer's. The Regent shall provide, in Flanders, hoys and other transport vessels, lymoners, carriages and victuals for the King's army at reasonable prices. By the treaty each prince must send to sea as many ships as can carry 2,000 soldiers and mariners; and these, it is agreed, are, by the midst of March next, to meet in the Narrow Seas, and to keep together, the Flemish admiral being under the English, unless it be necessary to detach some ships for the repression of pirates; and (fn. 4) victual is to be brought to them, so that they need not resort into ports for it, but still remain in guard of the seas till the beginning of December next ensuing.

31 Dec. R. O.	526. The War Against France. Declaration (fn. 5) by the Imperial ambassadors Fernando de Gon[zaga, duc de A]riano, prince de Melfete, viceroy of Sicily, and Eustace chapuys, master of requests ordinary, authorised by the Emperor Charles V., that they have treated and concluded with Norfolk, Russell, Hertford, Winchester, Cheyney, Browne, Wriothesley and Paget, commissioners of the King of England, as follows :—First, that each of the two Princes in person or (if ill) by a lieutenant shall assail France, with separate armies, before 20 June next at the latest. (2) The Emperor shall invade by Champaigne, and the King by the passages of the river Somme, and both shall march with diligence towards Paris, as strategy, victuals and the enemy shall permit. (3) The Emperor's army shall be 35,000 foot and 7,000 horse, and the King's the same, provided that he can have the Almains which he has decided to have (and for which, if he provides money, the Emperor will furnish the men) and may also substitute horsemen for footmen at his pleasure. And in the King's number shall be counted the 2,000 horse and 2,000 foot which the Emperor is bound to furnish him (and to pay for) by the treaty; which is again promised in such sort that they shall be about Gravelinghes ready to join the King's army. (4) The Regent shall in the Low Countries provide hoys and other vessels requisite for the transportation of the army, and limoners and other necessary carriages, as chariots, wagons, &c., and shall order the furniture of victuals for the army at reasonable price. (5) As the treaty provides that each prince shall equip ships furnished with 2,000 men, it is agreed that the said ships be together in the Narrow Seas at the time of the said transportation, both going and returning.

R.O. [Spanish Calendar, VI. II., No. 271.]	527. Chapuys to Charles V. Has received by Don Fernande de Gonsaga the Emperor's letters of 30 Nov. and learnt his charge, upon the execution of which he himself now writes, and will shortly recite the circumstances. From what he can learn, affairs of Scotland do not prosper for this King; for he who called himself Grand Governor has re-allied himself with the Cardinal, as also have some others who held for the King, and certain of the others have been made prisoners, among whom is lord Machvell, one of the most important persons of Scotland, governor and captain general of the frontiers, who was fraudulently taken by an abbot, (fn. 6) brother of the former Governor, notwithstanding that in passing this way in his (the abbot's) return from France he was well treated and presented, and promised to do great things for the King. The earl of Lynus (of the name, arms and house of the late king of Scotland and captain of a part of the Scots in France) who, as Chapuys wrote before, for some discontent with the King of France for not observing some promise, was about to take this King's part (because of the good "traictement" offered him, together with the marriage of the King's niece, daughter of the late Queen of Scotland and Earl Douglast) has had an answer to his satisfaction, broken off his practice with this King and turned against him once more. Eight days ago was made a proclamation prohibiting the bringing of French merchandise into the realm, even though it had been already bought and carried into other countries; which is no sign that they will wink at any passports. True, I think this prohibition made partly to extract money for the licences that will be given. London, . . . . . . French, pp. 2. Modern transcript from Vienna Archives.
R. O. [Spanish Calendar, VI. II., No. 272.]	528. Chapuys to the Queen of Hungary. It would be too long to write the honorable reception made everywhere to the Viceroy of Sicily—and superfluous, since she will shortly be advertised of it by himself. As to his charge, after several disputes and altercations, it has been concluded and capitulated that this King shall invade France in person by way of Picardy with 35,000 foot and 7,000 horse; but they could not be got to bind themselves that the said army should be all in France before 20 June, not that they did not wish to hasten the enterprise, but for the impossibility, especially because of forage; and also, to avoid a rupture, it was necessary to make one concession (accorder ung cas), riz., that, during the transport of their army, the Emperor's ships, with the number capitulated in the treaty, should join the King's ships in the Narrow Seas for its surety. Also the King has agreed to contribute 20,000 ducats for the enterprise on the side of Piedmont, conditionally, however, on the sending hither of 1,000 Spanish arquebusiers for three months to guard the frontiers of Scotland, 600 of whom should be paid by the Emperor. The practice for gaining the Swiss was laid before them, but they account it absolutely nothing. From what he can learn, affairs of Scotland, etc. (repeats his letter to the Emperor from this point to the end). London, — (blank). French, pp. 2. Modern transcript from Vienna Archives.
