Letter #5744

Alfonso de VALDÉS to Ioannes DANTISCUS
Palencia, [1527]-09-10

English register:

Valdés regrets his decision to move from Cubillas de Cerrato to Palencia – he doesn’t like the place, he couldn’t find an inn, everyone here is plotting against the old man [Chancellor Gattinara]. He wouldn’t have left so hastily if Dantiscus had been with him in Cubillas. He hasn’t seen the letter to the provost [Balthasar Merklin von Waldkirch]. He is pleased about Dantiscus’s acquaintance with Marliano, he sends his regards. He sends some uncertain news about Genoa; the French have allegedly seized it, he is surprised that the chancellor [Mercurino Gattinara] doesn’t mention this in his letter of September 4 from Barcelona, nor does he inform the emperor. As of the eve of the Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary's Birth [i.e. as of September 7] the chancellor intends to spend 9 days in [the monastery of] Monserrat and then go to the court. [The archbishop] of York [Thomas Wolsey] has signed a strict alliance with the king of France on behalf of his king [Henry VIII], directed against the emperor. Yesterday envoy Borbonius set out to meet the arriving chancellor. He sends his regards to Dantiscus.
