	I received at Blois, on the 19th, your letters under signet, dated York Place, 11 Nov., stating the detestable practices and conspiracies set forth by Wolsey, at Rome and within your realm, against your dignity. After I had studied them well I visited the Grand Master, who inquired, what news from England? and I learned from him that news had been received from the ambassador in England,—that the Cardinal was in hold, but for what offence he knew not; that the King (Francis), however, thought he deserved imprisonment. I told him that I had been sent to prevent any untrue surmises, with a letter from you to Francis and my Lady, desiring them that in event of hearing of this matter otherwise than was good, they should know the truth, "showing him that if the particularities, which I said did chiefly concern presumptuous sinister practices made to court of Rome for reducing him to his former estate and dignity, contrary to his faith, truth, duty and allegiance, were so well known to the King your brother, my lady and him, as they were to your Highness, there were no doubt but he and they would much abhor the same." He replied, they judged you to be so just a prince that you would not have punished the Cardinal but for his heinous deserts. He then took me to dinner with him, where dined the cardinal of Lorraine, the marquis of Saluce, the count St. Pôl, the count de Taunte, and the Imperial ambassador, "who showed to me there very good countenance, howsoever he thought."
	After dinner the Great Master brought him to Francis. The Imperial ambassador would have addressed the King first, but the latter rose out of his chair, saying, "You must pardon me, I will first speak with the King my brother's ambassador, and after with you." This was done in the face of the whole of the Court, chiefly Italians. Repeated to him what he had said about Wolsey to the Grand Master, who replied, in behalf of Francis, that the love between the two Kings was so firm that nothing could persuade him to give credence to any tales against the King's honor; nevertheless "it was done like a very natural brother to advertise him of the truth." He then asked me the particulars of the offences;—which I said I knew not as yet; but your Highness would advertise him of the whole. He accepted this very well, saying he ever thought "that so pompous and ambitious a heart, sprung out of so vile a stock, would once show forth the baseness of his nature, and most commonly against him that hath raised him from low degree to high dignity as ye have done; and said he thought by his outrageous misbehaviours he had well merited other a life worse than death, or else of all deaths the most cruel." I think that De Vaux, his ambassador in England, has done well in disclosing the misdemeanour of the Cardinal. Speaking of the Pope, he said he would do no otherwise than as the Emperor wished him, and that he heard he was greatly incensed because of an order that none of your subjects should make suit to Rome in any matter without your licence. I told him this was no more than a proclamation for the execution of statutes devised by Parliament concerning the wealth of your commons, and the Pope's just prerogatives had not been impaired; and I urged, if the Pope out of malice should attempt to publish anything in France to your prejudice, that he would not suffer it. He vehemently asserted he should not. Has desired Francis to thank the cardinal Gramont for his services at Rome, and told him you were informed the said Cardinal had some other device for the furtherance of your cause which he would first open to your said brother. Francis said there should be no subject of his but would study as much the advancement of the King's interests as of his. He looked for the arrival of De Tarbes in six or seven days, and would let me know his suggestion.
	Cannot discover that there is any towardness for a meeting between Francis and the Emperor. Asked the Great Master, who said fools did babble they wist not what. As to the proposal for a General Council, Francis says he thought it right not altogether to refuse, if an indifferent place were chosen. Francis has also told him, of his own accord, how the Venetian ambassador lately advised him to write to Henry, urging him to desist from his great matter as a thing that might not lawfully be done. To which he had replied that he spake unlearned, the matter having been examined by a great number of clerks in France and Italy, most of whom were on the King's side. The ambassador observed in answer, "that ever the most number were fools." "Then," said Francis, "your commonwealth of Venice, which is ordered by the most number, by your saying is governed by many fools." At this, according to Francis, he was much abashed, "showing me he was so aged he was waxen a child again, doating for age." Neither Pope, Emperor, nor Signory, should prevent him, he said, from acting in the King's behalf. Blois, the 21st day.

23 Nov. R. O. St. P. VII. 267.	6734. SIR GREGORY CASALE to HENRY VIII.
	If the King were to have the cause determined in England, the Emperor would press the Pope to pronounce sentence against him, with cansures. Has therefore consulted some divines whether the Pope would have a right to issue such censures. Sends their answer. Took also the opinion of Hieronymus Previdellus, his servant, which the King will see. Thinks some representation to the Pope on this subject might prevent his yielding to the Emperor. Bologna, 23 Nov. 1530. Signed.

	ii. Opinion cited from Egidius Bellamera, archbishop (antistes) of Avignon and auditor of the Sacred Palace, whose decisions are of great force in the Rota, that the Pope ought not to grant a dispensation in such a case; strengthened by reference to a case in A.D. 1392, and to an instance in which St. Dunstan resisted the Pope, who wished to dispense with an English earl for a marriage within the prohibited degrees.

	Being informed by letters from Sir Gregory de Cassalis that the Pope is willing, at the King's request, to make the bishop of Worcester a cardinal "at these next ymbring days," our mind is that you first solicit his preferment of his Holiness in our name, according to our former letters to the Pope; and if you think there be any difficulty you shall urge his advancement, in accordance with our letters to his Holiness, sent herewith.

	The Pope also told me that the king of England has made proposals to Francis for a league en todo y por todo, in which he will aid him to recover the sovereignty of Flanders; but they have determined not to conclude it, trusting to draw the Emperor into this matter of Milan (en esto de Milan). Yet they do not altogether despair to move the king of England at another time, as this matter of Milan appears more to his interest than the other negociation. * * * Rome, 26 Nov. 1530.

27 Nov. Bradford, 319.	6738. CHAPUYS to CHARLES V.
	The rumor that the King intends, in the coming Parliament at the Purification V. M., something touching the divorce, and the tediousness of the process, have induced the Queen to write to you to intercede for her with the Pope, according to the memorial presented by Mr. May. Delay is prejudicial to her cause. A book is being printed, against the meeting of Parliament, in favor of the King, in order to gain the people. The Dean of the Chapel, in the King's behalf, has presented eight instruments to the archbishop of Canterbury, respecting the divorce; two from Paris, the others from Toulouse, Orleans, Burgos, Bologna, Padua, and Pavia. They are likely to publish these documents, as they have more influence than any book. If they do, it will be better to get attestation of the votes in favor of the Queen, and circulate some books, as Fisher's was circulated in Spain. Some thought he would be annoyed, and feared the King's displeasure; but the King has shown himself quite indifferent. I have commissioned May to get the Bishop's two later books printed, and will distribute them at the opening of Parliament.
	A few days since, the duchess of Norfolk sent the Queen a present of "volaille" and an orange, enclosing a letter from Gregory Cassal, which I send. The Queen thinks the Duchess did this out of regard for her, but I fear it was done with the knowledge of her husband, as a means of entering into some secret communication with her Majesty more easily.
	Eight days ago the King gave orders for the Cardinal to be brought here; on which the Cardinal remained for some days without food, hoping rather to finish his life in this way than in a more shameful one, of which he had some fears. He has been taken ill on the road, and has not arrived. It is said he is to be lodged in the same chamber in the Tower where the duke of Buckingham was detained. The cause of his arrest is a mere conjecture. A gentleman told me that a short time ago the King was complaining to his Council of something that was not done according to his liking, and said in a rage that the Cardinal was a better man than any of them for managing matters; and repeating this twice, he left them. The Duke, the lady, and the father have not ceased since then to plot against the Cardinal; especially the lady, who does not cease to weep and regret her lost time and her honor, threatening the King that she would leave him,—in such sort that the King has had much trouble to appease her; and though the King prayed her most affectionately, even with tears in his eyes, that she would not speak of leaving him, nothing would satisfy her except the arrest of the Cardinal. It was pretended that he had written to Rome to be reinstated in his possessions, and to France for its favor, and was returning to his ancient pomp, and corrupting the people. But since they have had the Cardinal's physician (fn. 1) in their hands, they have found what they sought for. Since he has been here the same physician has lived in the duke of Norfolk's house like a prince. He is singing the tune as they wished him.
	Joachin would not say a word about it to the Papal nuncio, but he told the Venetian ambassador, that, according to the confession of the Cardinal's physician, the Cardinal had solicited the Pope to excommunicate the King if he did not banish the lady from the court, and treat the Queen with due respect. He hoped by this to raise the country, and obtain the management. Joachin protested against the malice of the Cardinal; but I do not know whether he did so to conceal his chagrin at the Cardinal's arrest, or out of spite for his anxiety to prevent this second marriage. I think the physician must have declared he had no intelligence with me; otherwise the Duke, who is a bad dissembler, would have said something about it. They might also have summoned the person who was the go-between, to whom the physician wrote, and who sent him the answers; but up to this time not a word has been said about it. Were the physician to say all that passed between us he could not do anything to impugn me. It is said the king of France will object to the summoning of a Council. The earl of Wiltshire has been obliged to retract the promise made by him to the duke of Milan of obtaining a loan from the King of 50,000 crowns. Certain deputies have arrived here from Scotland. The Lutheran merchants have been no otherwise punished than by being paraded through the streets, and being compelled to burn their books; so where one spoke of them before, 100 speak of them now. The King wishes not only for an authentic copy of the documents I have referred to, but to have them translated; and the translator had notice from the earl of Wiltshire that the King wished to have the translation made in the King's own favor by enlarging upon it wherever it might seem advisable. London, 27 Nov. 1530.

28 Nov. Add. 28,582, f. 83. B. M.	6739. MAI to CHARLES V.
	Is glad the Emperor was satisfied with the delay agreed to, at the petition of the Pope, in the cause of England. We will now follow the terms of the plea (seguiremos los terminos del pleito) without further interruption, as the Pope has promised never again to propose a suspension. Nevertheless, he has letters from his Nuncio there, showing that the King is so dissatisfied with his Holiness that he threatens to take pen in hand, and rouse up other princes against the Pope. But he is informed that the Parliament is prorogued, and he thinks it is only to terrify the poor Queen, and keep the matter in suspense. Among those here who have given opinions in the King's favor is a converted Jew, named Marc Gabriel, and the King has provided to give him as much money as he requires, and to send him thither. Fears that with the opinions he has got, and with the presence of this man [in England], the King will persuade his Parliament that with their consent he may marry de facto. * * * The Nuncio in England has written to his Holiness, that, in talking with the king of England about the going of the Landgrave, and afterwards of that of the duke of Saxony, the King said no one would be bold enough to do the same in his dominions. I said to his Holiness that neither would they in Spain nor in your other kingdoms, not from fear, but from pure loyalty to your Majesty, whom they idolise (quasi idolatran en V.M.); but in Germany this going was not wonderful, for the very act of flight was significant of their dread of you; but they do not do so in England, as we learn from their ancient histories, but mutiny for any occasion or for none, and often lay their hands upon their kings; and that Henry is the most perilous king in the world. I told this to his Holiness, that he might not regard his threats. Rome, 28 Nov. 1530.

	Is informed that James archbp. of St. Andrew's would have been appointed Papal Legate, had he not been prevented by the duke of Albany. Has always objected to him as unfit for such an authority. As it is necessary that the chancellor, treasurer, and other ecclesiastics should sit in criminal causes, begs the Pope to grant faculties to William Stewart, provost of Lynclowden, and others, for that purpose. St. John's Town alias Perth, 30 Nov. 1530.

	Since I wrote on the 20th, I have endeavored to learn who had gone to England about the marriage of the Princess to the duke of Milan. I find it is that same Prothonotary Casal who was ambassador here for the King, to whom, and to his brother the knight, it is said the Duke has promised to give a grand house (grand casa de renta) in the duchy of Milan if the matter take effect. I am assured that he is gone to be employed in this matter, and the negociation is to proceed by letting the King know what I have written to your Majesty. His journey is on the pretext of delivering to the King all that he has been able to do against the queen of England, and to show the King that it is he who has done everything, and not the bishop of London, nor Croke, who is still intriguing here as much as he can. The prior of St. John and St. Paul has delivered to me the opinion he had made against the Queen, and has promised not to give it to the English, but do what he can to retract it, and endeavor to get the others who have written against her to do the like; and as I promised to send you his opinion, folded up and sealed just as he gave it me, he says he has written within a letter to you, and sends the copy of the brief given by the Pope, in which he says he has written to your Majesty not to send Mr. Mai to him, but some one who could examine the case theologically, and see that the substance of the whole is what has been written here, because that prior is the person with whom the bishop of London negociated most. Recommends the Emperor to write a letter to the prior, accepting his services, and charging him henceforth to obey Niño's instructions, without naming the king or queen of England. I hope to send you shortly another opinion made by our opponents. Has great fear the king of England, with the authority of the bishops of his kingdom, will obtain the divorce de facto, and not care to litigate the case in the Rota. This is what his agents say he will do. * * * Venice, 30 Nov. '30.

30 Nov. R. O. St. P. VII. 268.	6744. VAUGHAN to CROMWELL.
	Arrived today at Mechlin. Lady Margaret is very ill, and in danger of her life. The Emperor is expected in these parts about Candlemas; he is busily practising to make his brother king of the Romans. The country is much damaged by inundations. Spermaceti is not worth so much as you told me, but "I use such policy for the utterance thereof," as I trust will be acceptable. Sends the globe by the bearer, Robert Frelove, who has taken pains to get it trimmed; it is a singular good piece of work. Will write to Mr. Treasurer (Tuke) when he learns anything sure; would like to have his money from Clarencieux. Antwerp, St. Andrew's Day.
	The bearer of the globe will deliver you a book of all things set forth in the same.

	Went to see Parisius at Padua in consequence of the persuasion of his friends, who said it would be for no little preferment of the King's cause. He first showed Croke the Emperor's letters, requiring him to counsel for the Queen, and said that he had a special command from the Senate not to meddle in the King's favor. This order he imputed to Vincent de Russo, dean of the College of lawyers at Padua, whom the Prothonotary brought to Stokesley, and who immediately noised throughout Padua that the case was between the King and Queen, and hindered the matter all he could. Before this rumor, Parisius said that he would gladly have given his counsel for 80 cr. He told Croke that the Senate had cited Mark de Mantua for writing in the King's favor, and blamed the indiscretion of Dr. Antonius ab Angelo, who openly offered money, in the common hall at Padua, to all doctors who would subscribe the counsel,—not regarding whether they were learned or unlearned, canonist or civilian. This, Parisius bade him show the King, was very slanderous, not only to the subscriptions, but to the cause. Judged that these reports of his came from the desire of his own advancement, as he said that Francischinus de Curta had 60 cr. to hold his peace, until he [Croke] heard from divers sad men who love and honor the King, that they lament this handling of the King's cause. The doctors who have not subscribed will not now do so, being afraid in consequence of the citing of Mark de Mantua. Many of the Imperialists boast that the king of England has only rascals to subscribe for him, and yet was obliged to give them money. These and other words made the vicar of the potestate of Padua break his promise to subscribe; and his example alone would have won 100, for he has borne room in most of the great cities belonging to the Signory. The King must earnestly expostulate with the Signory "for forbidding them that hath taken earnest of your Highness not to write for the same." Parisius bade Croke show the King that if he were discharged of their commands and the Emperor's requests, he would gladly write for the King; or if the King will give him 1,500 cr. a year by an abbey or prebend, he will forsake the Venetians and Emperor, and serve the King in Rome. Is purposely destitute of money, that he may do nothing in the King's cause, but hopes shortly to bring a number of subscriptions. Venice, 30 Nov.

Nov. R. O.	6746. HENRY SAVELL to LORD HUSEY.
	I thank you for your letter. I presume you have spoken with my wife's friends, and they will "sew the law." The truth is, they have no such cause, and I trust no man of conscience shall have, to reverse the judgment given at York; for they were her friends and my enemies, until judgment came by wrong information given by her father to them, which appears by their letters sent from the Dean to my lord Cardinal in their favor, which put me to pain at the time. I can give you no answer, if I will agree to have it at Stamford, until I speak with my counsel: "and I shall promise you, Sir, it shall cost me that as I may make, and whilst I live I will take her as my wife, and never agree to the contrary, and ever follow the law as I may to attain her. But the effect of my business is caused by my lord Darcy, as ye know; and I beseech you to show him, if it please him to remember, I am his kinsman; and they shall make no information but ever I shall approve that there is no craft in me, but that all my meaning is to get the truth tried out. Sir, if my lord Darcy would be good to me, I trust I should do him or his as great pleasure as they will do; and I am of his blood, and it is no honor to him for malice to put me to trouble that would be glad to do him pleasure, and also it is great conscience this to withhold my wife; and my belief is, afore a year be passed, both he and I shall be judged where the judge shall know the intent of every one of us. And it please you, I would be glad ye could make him my good lord, though ye put me to some pain."

R. O.	13. Account of cloths of issue and cloths of gold delivered to the late lord Cardinal by John Cavalcanty and Peter Francis de Barde, of which they never received any part.
	i. Money paid at Rome for the bulls of Durham eight years ago, as appears by a reckoning delivered to Wolsey by Cromwell, and by a bill signed and sealed by Wolsey himself, 175l. For 2 pieces of cloth of gold delivered to him at the More, as appears by an indenture drawn by Master Stevens and signed by himself, 140l. 12s. 6d. For 2 pieces of crimson silk camlet delivered to him in his gallery at York's Place, 21l. 16s. 8d. For the balance of an account with Cavalcanti on 15 Feb. 1520 [1521], 87l. 2s. 8d. For 311½ yards rich cloth of gold for the church, of divers colors, at 30s. a yard, and 195½ yards of a coarser cloth of gold, delivered at York's Place, as appears by a bill of Dr. Stubbes, 630l. 4s. 5d.
	Total, 1,054l. 16s. 3d.; which sum was demanded of the Cardinal when he was at Asher by Antony Carsydony, factor of the above merchants. Then Wolsey acknowledged the debt, except 500 marks, which he said should be deducted from the above parcel of 630l., as they had agreed to give him that sum "for a pleasure" in the above-mentioned tissues. To this Carsydony answered that they had promised to abate 500 marks in the price of the tissues; which they had already done, as could be proved by the quality of the stuff. On this Wolsey begged that the restoring of the 630l. might be deferred till the return of De Barde to England; which was agreed to. For the rest Wolsey promised to sue to the King for payment; and undertook that if the King would not pay it, he would do it himself. He further said that although the King had all the said cloths of tissues, he was very loth at that time to sue to him, having already given notice to the King and Council of the "said sum of 425l." amongst other sums due by him to his creditors, which he hoped the King would pay.

	P.S.—While dispatching his servant, a number of the Cardinal's tenants and officers brought the three malefactors for the sending up of whom the Lord Chancellor had written. He will see by the enclosed copy of his letter to the Chancellor, and by the servant's report, the endeavors Wolsey has used, the dangers his officers have suffered, and the oaths and conditions in which they have been "boundyn unto (fn. 2) afore they cowde be sufferyd to be brought owt of the lybertes." Asks him to go with the poor resydenciary (?) to the Chancellor for declaration of the circumstances, and for discharging them and my ... yse. To avoid the danger they would incur by ... being conveyed hence further, asks him to desire the lords to be contented with this examination, or else to [commit it to] some gentleman of this country. * * *
	The Chancellor ought to be contented with this order, as the people are so wilful that they cannot be resisted by Wolsey's officers. The confession taken will inform them of all the circumstances.
	Contrary to all law and conscience, Mr. Uttered has taken a half year's rent [of] Kexby, due at Michelmas last, [and] hath sent for the other half year due at Whitsuntide last past, threatening that he will exsp[el them] out of their holds if they refuse. Asks him to provide some remedy.
