Letters. 13 Jan 1513. Richard Jerningham to Henry VIII. Betwixt this and Candlemas trusts to despatch his business here and next day to leave Milan for Ysbrokk. Has been able to raise only 500 Almain rivets. Jerome Fryskeball's factor and John Antoyn de Lumbard had bought all they could get before Jerningham arrived. The Spaniards do the same. The Duke raises 500 spears. Has made a bargain at Milan for 5,000 rivets. Will thus save his Grace 1,£000 under the price they could be had at in England. Had written of the Duke's entry into Milan. 29 Dec. He was accompanied by the Cardinal of the Swiss [of Sion], the Bishop of Gurk (age 45), the Viceroy of Spain, and the Swiss ambassadors. The last had promised that the keys should be delivered to him in the name of the Pope, and Emperor, the King of Aragon and the Swiss; but the Swiss would not consent. After much dispute that honor was reserved for the Swiss. The castles of Milan, Crema, and Genoa hold to the French. The Spaniards took on the 5th, from the Baron of Byarne, the castle of Trasse. The great and increasing army of the Venetians is mistrusted here, as it is rumoured that the French King and Venetians have made an agreement. Spoke with the Duke and the Viceroy, who say this rumour is not yet con-confirmed. Milan, 13 Jan.
