Stowe MS 175

EDMONDES PAPERS. Vol. X. (ff. 389). 16 July, 1614-24 Mar. 1615 [6]. The volume opens with the instructions of James I. to Edmondes on his return to France. The latter continues to give full details of the dissensions in the French Court, which lasted through 1614 and 1615 and resulted in the Conference of Loudun in Feb.-May, 1616, at which Edmondes was present. He seems, however, to have made himself obnoxious to the Queen Regent in the autumn of 1615, for in a letter dated 3 Sept. his Secretary, Woodford, then in London, reports that the French Ambassador had complained that Edmondes's house in Paris was the " ordinary ressort of all the malcontents and ill-affected persons of the State." There is no letter from Edmondes in reply to these charges, and indeed his letters at this time are so few that Secretary Winwood in a letter, undated, but written probably at the end of August, 1615, writes that the King thinks it strange that he hears from him so seldom. The negotiations for Prince Charles's marriage still continued. In the beginning of 1614 the Elector of Neuburg had become a Catholic and thrown himself on the protection of Spain. The Dutch States had openly espoused the cause of Brandenburg, and Prince Maurice had, on his behalf, taken possession of Juliers. Spain at once put an army into the field under Spinola, who seized Aix-la-Chapelle, Düren and Wesel, while Maurice retaliated by possessing himself of Emmerich and Rees, but both generals were careful not to endanger the truce which existed between Spain and the United Provinces by engaging directly with each other. A treaty of accommodation was set on foot at Santen, and Sir Henry Wotton was sent thither in August, 1614, to assist in the negotiations jointly with the French representative M. de Reffuge. Wotton's letters give an account of the conference. The treaty was signed in December, and after some delay, owing to his reluctance to give up Wesel, was ratified by the King of Spain.
