ANNO DOM. 1518. REG. 10.
THe Peace so long treated of between us and the French, was [ 1518] now in September at length concluded on these Conditions: That the Daulphin should marry the Lady Mary the King's only Child,* 1.1 and not yet two years old: That Tournay should be restored to the French: That the French should pay King Henry four hundred thousand Crowns, viz. two hundred thousand for his charge in building the Cittadel, for the Artillery, Powder, and Munition, which he should leave there; and other two hundred thousand Crowns, partly for the expence of that War, wherein the City was taken, and partly in regard of other Pensions that were due unto him.
For the payment of which summs, the French gave eight Ho∣stages; so saith Bellay. But our Writers speak of a far different summ, viz. Six hundred thousand Crowns for the City, and four hun∣dred thousand Crowns for the Cittadel: besides three and twenty thou∣sand Pounds Tournois, which the City of Tournay ought the King; and an annual Pension of a thousand Marks assigned to Cardinal Wolley for renouncing all claim and title to the Bishoprick of Tournay. For the confirmation of these Articles, the Earl of Worcester, and the Bishop of Ely, with some others, were sent into France, where both by the King and Princes of the Realm they were magnifi∣cently entertained.
