Account of his travels in France with his master. Of their stay at Avignon, where were three or four hundred Jews who lived there by permission of the Pope and could be distinguished from the Christians by their dress. The writer and his master must live as well as they may amongst Papists, for cum fueris Romae, Romano vivito more. At Avignon they were told that, being Protestants, they must not stay in the town longer than three days, but the Cardinal gave them leave to stay as long as they desired. Endorsed [in the autograph of Owen Wynn]: 'William Williams, my brother Sir John Wynn's man, his letter to his father from Bourbonois or Marseilles.'

Informing him of the death of his eldest son John at Lucca, on the 25th of this present month. The writer, who was with him during his illness, often heard him regret his journey and wish himself with his wife and sisters. Mr Richard Allin has written at large. Desires Sir John to pay the small legacy bequeathed by his son to the writer, which will be received by his brother John Burgh, who transacts all the writer's business in England. Overleaf: 'This letter was shown to John Burgh at his examination taken in May, 1616.

Her uncle has sent her over to Ireland. Is sorry to hear that Robin has killed a man; if he think fit let him come over to her and she will do what she can.

My Lady Cave can come to no agreement with Sir John touching her daughter's allowance. Hears they intend to come into Wales next vacation and to stay at Sir William Morris's house. Sir John's letter to my Lord of Exeter, respecting the disagreement with Lady Cave, has been delivered. Went with Mr Jeffreys to see brother Maurice Wynn's master, a very honest man. The Master of the Wards has no power to dispose of the wardship of Foulke Lloyd, for a concealment must first be proved, which cannot be done until it has lain dead for a year. If the mother or next-of-kin claim it within that time they must, by a new order lately made in the Court of Wards, have it after paying a reasonable fine. If not claimed at the end of that time, the writer will, without doubt, obtain it. There are many great matches to be had, but the writer aims as much at the gentlewoman's condition as at her portion. Begs for time, as he does not yet feel very inclined towards that course of life.

On their arrival at Cambridge the writer and his brother delivered the letter and present of gloves to their master, and spoke with Mr Williams of York House, who treated them very kindly.

Instructions for taking Sir John's sons to St Albans. When he comes to St Albans he is not to place them at an inn, but at Mr Gibson the schoolmaster's house. He is then to go to his cousin Cadwalader Tydir, and to desire his help in placing the children. At Coventry let him lodge at the 'Panier' and enquire there of one Mrs Tallons, who was midwife to Sir John's daughter-in-law, [wife of his son John], and bring word what day of the month and time of the night Eleanor Wynne was born. Ask Thomas Tydir, Cadwalader's brother, whether he can spare the young countryman he has with him to be Sir John's gardener. Other matters.

Caught the disease Sir John's son died of and was ill for some 4 months. Would know whether Sir John will pay for a tomb for his son. If he will not do so, the writer will pay for a marble gravestone out of the legacy of £20 left him by the deceased, with a suitable inscription engraved thereon, for it may be that some of Sir John's sons will come into Italy, and would be glad to know where their brother lies buried.

Although he will not marry without his father's consent he asks that he may both please his father with regard to the portion, and himself with regard to the lady. It is common report amongst their countrymen and others that his father would sell him to the highest bidder. Mentions several proposed matches: Sir Edward Lewis's sister is sickly and twenty-nine or thirty years of age; Sir Thomas Myddelton is held in slight esteem, sufficient cause to think neither of him nor his daughter; as for Mistress Fiennes, on the death of her grandfather, the Earl of Lincoln, she will have £6,000 for her portion, but had she three times as much he would not marry her.

Has seen his brothers in their school at St Albans. The method of teaching is so profitable that Sir John will think his money well spent. Brother Maurice in London looks so well that, far from being a weakling, he is like to prove the hardiest of them all. It is reported at Northampton House that brother Richard will marry 'in the country'.

Evan ap John Conway, tenant to Harry Salusbury, relator, v. Sir John Wynn and others, defendants. Brief for the defendants, in a suit in the Court of the Marches, for riotous and forcible entry by the defendants upon the relator's lands in Penmaen and Llysvaen, Caernarfonshire.

Instructions:. (1) In the matter of Robert ap Owen, a wandering fellow, committed to Caernarfon gaol for absenting himself from the musters;. (2) For procuring certificates from Sir William Moris and Sir William Thomas. Appended:. (A) Copy of a certificate by Sir William Maurice of Clenenny to Ralph, Lord Eure, President of Wales, stating that both he and Sir John Wynn were, in 1587, appointed deputy-lieutenants of Caernarfonshire. [See NLW MS 9055E/710]. (B) Letter [from Sir John Wynn to Sir William Maurice]. Desiring him to propose and subscribe the above certificate. Has been deeply censured by the Council in the matter of Robert ap Owen. (C) [The same to Sir William Thomas]. Desiring him to send a copy of the commitment of a tall lusty fellow to Caernarfon gaol.

Desires his brother to give Sir John a new hearing so that, by exhibiting a Bill of Reviver in the Court of the Marches, Sir John may clear himself of those charges of which he stands unjustly condemned.

Five drafts of Sir John Wynn's petition to the King for a rehearing of his cause and for stay of execution of sentence in the meantime. One of the drafts is drawn up for Sir John by Sergeant Moore.

The informants against him are:. (1) John Hughes (a deponent of Henry Salusbury) whose son committed a murder, and, though nothing was at first done in the business for fear of Henry Salusbury, he was afterwards indicted and fled. (2) William Williams who, because he was oppressed by John Salusbury, was preferred by Sir Roger Mostyn, his kinsman, to Sir Richard Lewkenor. He is now turned Turk and has joined Henry Salusbury with his master the justice. Sir John Wynn was called before the Council on 7 Nov., but begged to have the hearing postponed until the next term, having taken cold on a late journey to Mostyn. He was refused and the matter was proceeded with. The witnesses on the defendant's side (being illiterate, simple people not having the English tongue) were examined by the common examiner who, being an Englishman, was fain to use an interpreter, and it is to be doubted whether the same did interpret rightly. In the end Sir John was condemned, heavily fined and pronounced degraded of his places. Sir Thomas Myddelton, after Sir John Musbury's death, wishing to end the breach between Sir John Wynn and Henry Salusbury (in the matter of lands in Llysvayne), sold Sir John all the freehold lands in Llysvayne and this by authority of Henry Salusbury. William Wynn was set on by the said Henry Salusbury, his cousin, to make Sir John believe he would procure his bargain, from which he fell into this inconvenience and dilemma.

Says that having lived some 37 years after his father in the commission of the peace, and being deputy-lieutenant for Caernarfonshire since 1587, he studied the peace and good government of the country. In all this time he has had but one trial in Caernarfonshire, and that about 24 years since, for a house which William Williams bought and the writer recovered; and no trials in Denbighshire or Merioneth, though he has lands in both. He was neither plaintiff nor defendant in the Court of the Marches save for two causes: one for giving William Williams a box on the ear, and the other, some fourteen years agone, for a small lease; and his solicitor, Evan Lloyd, attorney of common pleas, will testify to the truth thereof. Confesses, however, that he had a suit some eight years since in the Exchequer Chamber, wherein he was plaintiff and defendant for a matter of £500, which was ended some four years agone. Says that he was branded with the malicious eye of Sir Richard Lewknor, because he gave him no presents, and withdrew his suits from the Court of the Marches to London. Lewknor therefore caused a Bill to be framed against Sir John in the Council of the Marches. Gives particulars of the same. His enemies, moreover, wrote to the Lord Chancellor desiring that the writer should be deprived of all his offices, who answered that they must sue the King in order to displace him from the lieutenancy and the Council of the Marches. The Lord Chancellor and Lord President were married to two sisters. The former was most careful to maintain the reputation of the Court of the Marches. Sir Richard Lewknor was his tenant and dependant. Treasurer Salisbury and Northampton being dead, and Somerset committed to the Tower, and the Lord Treasurer, by reason of melancholy, not to be troubled with business, Lewknor was heartened to take advantage thereof, and, in order to levy the fine, sent out sequestrations against the writer's goods and lands, with two sheriffs to execute the same and a pursuivant as witness (never before seen), whose fee Sir John was forced to pay.

Twenty carts, with munition, are come to Chester, and 30 more are expected daily. It is reported that the Earl of Dorset comes to Chester as Deputy for Ireland. One Mr Nease is come down with commisson to press eight-score mariners out of Cheshire, Lancashire, and Flintshire for one of the King's ships at Kinsale.

Has sent his brother [William?] home according to the physician's directions. Particulars of clothes and money matters.

The report here is that Sir John is arrested on a fine of £3,000 for slandering his daughter-in-law, and that a letter, signed by many gentlemen from this country, came to the Lord President, desiring that Sir John should be put out of the commission of the peace and other offices in the country. Is very desirous to hear from him, though she knows that he will not tell her the worst. His rents are coming in reasonably well.
