[434] Chapuys to Granvelle, May 19, 1536.--_Calendar, Foreign and Domestic_, vol. x. p. 380.

[435] "In causa matrimonii et in consistoriis et publice et privatim apud Clementem VII. se omnia quae potuit pro vestra Majestate egisse: et Bononiae Imperatori per horas quatuor accurate persuadere conatum fuisse, non esse Majestatem vestram per illam causam impugnandam." Sir Gregory Casalis to Henry VIII., May 27, 1536.--_Calendar, Foreign and Domestic_, vol. x. pp.

406 _et seq._

[436] Cromwell, writing to Gardiner to inform him of the marriage, said that "the n.o.bles and Council upon their knees had moved him to it." If their entreaty had been no more than a farce, Cromwell would hardly have mentioned it so naturally in a private letter to a brother Privy Councillor.--_Calendar, Foreign and Domestic_, vol. xi. p. 16.

[445] Chapuys to Charles V., July 8, 1536.--_Spanish Calendar_, vol. v.

part 2, p. 221. In using the words, "Princess of Wales," Chapuys adds a curious fact, if fact it be--"Nowhere that I know of," he says, "is the t.i.tle of Princess given to a King"s daughter as long as there is hope of male descent. It was the Cardinal of York who, for some whim or other of his own, broke through the rule and caused Henry"s daughter by Catherine to be called "Princess of Wales.""
