Emperor, embassy to the, 19. Lord Herbert says, on the "8th
December, 1529, he (the king) writ letters with his own hand to the
bishop of Worcester and Sir Gregory Casilis, then with the Pope, to
tell them that he had sent Sir Thomas Bolen, newly created Earl of
Wiltshire and Ormond, with John Stokesley, elect bishop of London,
and Edward Lee, as his ambassadors to the Emperor," on the subject
of the divorce. The payment of the money for their expences was not
however made until the 24th January following. We here learn that
it amounted to 743_l._ 8_s._

Each of these entries excepting one, are of payments to the servant
of the Provost for bringing cakes to the king, for the making of
which we may infer that his servant was celebrated.

Exeter, Marquess of, 61, 62, _bis_, 149, 152.
Henry Courtenay, eleventh earl of Devon, who was elevated to the
Marquisate of Exeter in 1525. This distinguished nobleman was the
son of William, Earl of Devon, by Katherine, youngest daughter of
King Edward the Fourth, and was consequently first cousin to Henry,
a relationship which placed him much too near to the crown to be
compatible with his safety; and, in 1538, he was suspected of high
treason. Suspicion was then equivalent to guilt, and the Marquess
was beheaded on Tower Hill, on the 9th of January 1539. "Of all
victims of the jealous tyrant," the elegant Gibbon justly remarks,
"the Marquess of Exeter is one of the most noble and guiltless."
The entries in these accounts throw no light upon his character,
nor are they of much interest, for they consist merely of rewards
to his servants, or bringing presents of hounds to the King.
