I n the midd le o f the s ixteen th cen tury the E nglish mer

mo d ities had con sidera b ly decreased ; tha t the some articles

fetched but low prices even when carried in to the coun tr ies

o f the v ery no tion s who formerly came to seek them in E ng

lan d ; while ou the o ther han d,the price and deman d

fo r fo re ign merchand ise stead ily in creased . Certa in grav e an d

fa lling o ff o f the E ngl ish trade,

an d came to the conclus ion ,that

,fo llowing the example of the Span iards and P o rtugoeso ,

they must seek new sources of riches b y the d isco very

o f n ew coun tries and the establishmen t o f new mercantile co nnec tions . A fter much d il igen t co n sultation with the

ren own ed S eb astian C a b o t, a t tha t time in London , the y

d e termin ed b y his adv ice, to send out certa in ships fo r the

sea rch and d isco very o f a no r th eastern passage to new and

unk nown coun tr ies . To fit out these ship s it was decided to

fo rm a company ,every memb er o f which was to subscribe

twen ty five pounds . I n a sho rt t ime s ix thousand poundswere co llec ted , with which sum three ships were bought,repa ired , and tho roughly fitted out . The en tire command of the

exped ition wa s given to «a mo st v al ian t and worthy gen tleman S ir H ugh Wi lloughb y», and b y commo n con sent R ichard

Chan cello r was cho sen pilo t- majo r .

Such is the purpo rt o f the accoun t given b y Clemen tA dams

with ph ilosophica l reason ings to pro ve tha t commerce is the

who «ha th giv en un to man k ind such o n heart an d des ire

tha t ev ery ma n d esireth to jo in friendship with o ther , to lo ve

I f, to the majo rity o f the members o f the n ewly formed

mere ly en vy o f the r iches b rought b ac k from Amer ica an d

I nd ia b y the Span iard s and P o r tugueese , still it is impossib len o t to recogn ise , were it but in some o f them, o ther and

t ime one of the mo st learn ed represen ta tives o f c o smographya sc ience who se theories had b een late ly o v er thrown b y the

b er tha t the pas s io n fo r ma ritime exped it io ns , inn a te in a ll

sea -

girt nation s, a lways remarkably predominan t in E nglish

men even down to the presen t day , had just then rece ived

fre sh st imulus b y the return from the fo r West o f ad v entu

a l l they had seen, heard and suffered ; and the v ery ta les o f

the pr iva tions they had endured , the dangers they had enco n a

tered , on ly inflamed in the ir young hea rers a thirst fo r d is

tan t en terprise,jea lousy o f tho se who had proceeded them

,

and eagerness to endure an d suffer as they had don e .

Without reco gn izing in this case the pa rt ic ipa tion o f the

d a ring spirit o f the E ngl ish common people , an d the learned

zeal o f the educated classes,it would b e d ifficult to unter

staud how,

amongs t the names o f the founders o f the com

—Iv

«Duke,the elec ted elders of C o lmogo r , Phil ip R b d ion of an d

« F o fan Makarof, wrote to the C zar and grea t duke at Mo s«cow

,about the arr iva l of the E ngl ish k ing E dward

s en voy,

«R ichard an d his compan io ns». In Oc tober , the ship, b y theiro rder , was brought in to win ter mo o rings at the mouth of the

Un a,and on the 23- rd of N ov ember , b y the Czar ’

s command,

C han cello r an d his compan ion s were d ispatched to Mo scow.

The arrival o f C han cello r a t Mo scow occurred at the

mo st brillian t per iod o f the l ife of John when he had justre turn ed v icto r ious from the fin a l struggle with Kazan , bringing b ac k from the multitud in ous d ifi

iculties of the war , the

glor ious title o f con queror o f . the k ingdom o f Kazan ; when

surroun ded b y a ho st of v alian t lead ers he could fo resee the

easy subjection of the k ingdon o f A strakhan and hope for

the repression o f the C rimean s ; when secure from the Ta r

tars and attended b y the unfe igned lo v e o f his subjects , he

could employ the powerful and truly sta tesman ly in tellect he

had inher ited from his gran d father an d n amesake , in the a o

complishment o f the grea t wo rk begun b y that grandfa ther

the se tting in order an d c iv il iza tion o f his empire . The riches

o f Musco vy were immen se ; innumerable armies ro se at the

command o f the sov ereign ,bravely withsto od the enemy in

the fi e ld , pa tien tly and un daun ted ly endured when besieged ;b ut the Russian c zar was obliged to admit tha t he could n o t

compete with the Swede or the Teuton ic kn ights , the P o le

or the Lithuan ian , as long as he had no t « cun n ing engineers ,

accustomed to d estroy town s», and « architects who could

con struct fo rtresses , towers , an d palaces ». H e kn ew as we llas the P o l ish k ing tha t he required «weapon s hitherto nu

« kn own to him,artificers and arts»; that «hither to he was

«vuln erable on ly because he was rude and ign o ran t o f po li«cies»; and he arden tly longed for inte rcourse with the Wes t!

B ut the West was closed to him: the jealous eye o f h is implacable foe and neighbour , the P o le , narrowly watched that the fewG erman trad ers who con tr iv ed to cro ss the Lithuan ian fron

tier should carry to Mo scow no wares which might serve toinjure L ithuan ia and P o lan d , tha t they should bring to Russia

4

n o per son s capa b le to ass ist in increas ing its power . O n the

con trar y , the P o lish k ing employed these merchan ts as

and b y the in te ll igence they suppl ied , learn ed what was beingdon e and plo tted at Moscow.

This state of things accoun ts fo r the fa vour wi th whichJohn received the letter brought b y C han cello r from E dward

,

and the read in ess with which he gran ted permission to «R i

c chard and the guests arr iv ed from the E ngl ish land wi thwares brought in the ir sh ips from beyond the seas

,to come

c and'

go in safety in his Russ ian domin ions , and to b uy and

bui ld houses without let o r hindrance ». When d ismissingChancello r

,John assured E dward (who was a lready dead) o f

his «most hearty and o f goo d zea le with good in ten t and

fr end ly desire » in trusting C hancellor « in the l ight o f

grea t understand ing h is an swe r to wise ly lett him know» thatan swer .

O n the l 5 o th o f March , C hancellor with his compan io nsleft Mo scow an d

arriv ing a t the Dwina lived on the sh iptill spr ing, and then returned to his own land . O n reaching

E ngland , he wro te his « B oo ke o f the grea t and mightyE mperor o f Russia and Duk e of Muscouia an d o f the d omi

of .th'

,

the on ly place where he could meet with perso n s k nowingany other language than Russian . In fact as regards o b ser

vation , all the accoun ts sent b y the first agen ts of the Muscovy company must strike every read er b y the co rrectn ess

and fidelity of their information ; their narrations , in which

n o t o nly the structure o f the language , but frequen tly even

the handwriting itself, betray unpractised wr iters , someti

mes conta in matter equa lly v aluable bo th to the histo ry of

commerce and to the study o f Russ ian domestic life in the

time o f the czar John Yassiliev itch .

Meanwh ile , dur ing the fo llowing win ter some nomad tri

o n the l l - th o f September he en tered the creek fo rmed b ythe mouth o f the r i ver A rz ina , and gradual ly saw all his

crew die away from co ld and hunger ; from the no tes in his

own han dwriting found near him,it is ev id en t tha t he him

and r igging, to C olmogo r .

The in telligence brought b y Chan cellor o f his receptio nin Russia , a nd the permiss ion of the czar to E nglish

men to trade with his coun try , had for result tha t

Phi lip an d Mary co nfirmed the charter for «merchan ts aduen

deed co n ta in ing this charter rece iv ed the royal san ction a t

Westmin ister February 6- th 1 555 . The company ,which

was to b e placed under the d irec tion of S ebastian Cab o t, named go vern o r fo r life , was to con sist of four

con suls and twen ty four assistan ts to b e chosen every

year . The compan y was licensed to mak e d iscover ies in the

d irec tion o f the n or th,

north- eas t and north -west; to carry

the royal bann e rs , flags , stan dards ; to subdue , possess and

o ccupy , as our sub iec ts , all town es , castles , v illages , isles ,

and ma in lande s o f in fidelitie »; to repulse b y fo rce , strang

ers who should attempt to h inder the ir nav iga tion or trade ,

o r to profit b y the sea - pa ssage d isco vered b y them. E ngl ish

subjec ts no t b e longing to the company were likewise fo r b idden to sai l or trade b y that way without lic en se from the

company , under pe nalty o f the fo rfeiture o f the ir ships an d

wares , ha lf the product of wh ich was to go to the roya l

excheqher , and the o ther ha lf to the company .

These , and some o ther p riv ileges were gran ted to the

company b y P hilip and Mary , in the name o f themselves ,the ir heirs and successors .

O n the first of May 1 5 55 a t a genera l assemb ly o f the

company, it was decided to d ispatch C hancellor to Russ ia

on his former ship , the E dward B onaven ture, and to send

with him R ichard G rey a nd G eo rge Killingwo rth witho rders for the establishmen t o f trade with that coun try; the

agen t John B ro o k , o n board the « Philip and Mary», a lso

under the command o f C hancello r , was to b e sen t to

W ardhuys , to endeav our to establ ish there an exchange

of commod ities so as to br ing to E ngland d ried fish , tra in

o il,and o ther products o f the fi shing trade ; and acco rd ing

to the success o f the exchange , he was to await there the

homewa rd passage o f C hancellor , o r to return a t once to

E ngland .

Thereupo n a l l tho se in tended fo r the vo yage to ok o a th

upon the B ible to serve the compan y truly and upr ightly;and Chancellor , G rey, and Killingworth were furn ished withletters to the cza r (da ted l - st o f A pril 1 5 55)wr itten in three

languages : greek , po lish and ita lian .

The instruction given b y the compan y to its agen ts is in

the highest degree remarka b le fo r its exac titude , minuteness,and foresight; its prin c ipal articles enjo in that al l perso nsemployed b y the company should b e in uncond itiona l sub or

d in atio n to the agen ts , to whom full power is reserved to

pun ish the d isobed ien t and negligen t , an d even, in case o f

necessity ,to giv e them up to the Russian autho rities to b e

pun ished accord ing to the laws o f the coun try . The sub o rd i

n ation required was so en tire , that it was fo rb idden to leav e

on e’

s house b y n ight, without a spec ia l permission from the

agen t . The laws of the coun try , bo th c iv il and ecclesiast ic

were to b e str ictly k ept, all duties an d taxes duly pa id , and

a quiet and orderly behav iour to b e observed . I f the czar

should wish to appropr iate to himself o r assign to any o ther

person the so le right o f trah ie with the E nglish , then to fix

the highes t po ssible price fo r E nglish wares , and the

lowest possible fo r Russian ones , bea ring in mind tha t

the first named prices would serve as a rule fo r the

futur e . With reference to the information which every one

serv ing the compan y was enjo ined to collec t, they were boundto repo rt to their employers a ll they learned respectingthe manners , customs and way o f trading o f the Russ ians ;what merchand ise it would b e ad van tageous fo r E ngland to

carryto , o r br ing from Russ ia ; the n atural production s o f the

coun try ; what money , we ights and measures are used ; wha t

duties , mean s o f tran spo rt etc .

V I t is wor thy o f remark tha t those go ing to Russia wereo bliged to depo s it with the company a pecun iary pledge a nd

the testimo ny o f trus two rthy sureties fo r the ir go od and ho nour

able co nduc t .

The attempt o f B rook to establish a trade with W ardhuys

seems to ha ve b een unsuccessful ; a t all even ts C hancello r arriv ed

a t the po rt o f S t . N icho las with b o th ships the « B onaventure»

and the « Phil ip and Mary»; there he met with Willough b y’

s

two vessels the « B uona E speran za » and the « B uona C o nfi

denza » and learned that he was no t destined to deliver to the

first commander o f the en treprise the message sen t b y the

compan y : « that the company grieved for h is long absence ;wished for n ews of him and his fellow- travel lers, an d to

embr ace , accept, and en trea t them as the ir dear and wellbeloved bre thren .»

So o n a fter Chan cellor ’

wishing to find out what mark ets would b e mo st adv an tageousfor the E nglish ,

and where they would b e the least depend en t on Russ ian merchants ;

“suppo s ing ,

no t without reason,

that C o lmogor be ing so far from Mo scow, the trade there

would b e concentra ted in very few hand s . The resul t of this

co nference was the gran t o f a pr iv ilege b y the czar to the

E nglish company fo r traffi c without duty in a ll so rts o f

From his autobiographica l no tes preserv ed b y H akluyt it

appears tha t Jenk inson commen ced his travels on the 2 - nd o f

O ctober 1 546; in the course of the ten years which proceededhis en ter ing the serv ice o f the company , he trav e lled throughFlanders , the N e therlands , through G e rmany to I ta ly , from

accoun ts left b y him of his trav els bear witness to his in tel ligen ce and o b servation ; and his knowledge. o f the con duct o f

nego c ia tio n s is shown b y the success o f his in tercourse withthe di fferen t rulers of the Caspian coast and of south westernA s ia ; b y the establishmen t of trade between E ngland and

expressed in numerous letters of the czar John tha t E lizabethshoul d sen d to confer with him on «pr incely affa irs» espec iallyA n thony Jenk in son , and n o other .

The vessels reached the po r t of S t . N icho las on the l 2 - th

immed ia tely after the land ing o f the goods purchased b y him in

for C o lmogor un til the ships had been un laden of all the E nglishwa res they had on b oard , an d had b een refreighted with the

Russian merchand ise a lready prepared , and had set sa il on theirhomeward v oyage . A t C o lmogor and a t Vo logda , he sojournedsome time , acquain ting himself with the state of trade , so tha t

he arriv ed at Mo scowon ly on the 6- th of December . Most gra

foun d mean s to obtain such favour at court, that when he

v ided himwith safe - conducts addressed to sev eral of the rulers

through who se territo ry he would perhaps have to pass , and

ordered him to travel from N ijn i N ov ogorod to A strakhan withthe n ewly appo inted governor of the latter town .

Jenk inson left Mo scow,23 - rd A pr il 1 558, and arr ived at

A s trakhan 1 4 - th July . The account of his voyage down the

Vo lga is extremely in teresting; day b y day he wro te down thedescr iption o f the places near which he passed . F or in stance , he

wr ites that at that time almost all the N agayan v illages weredepo pulated : civ il war s , famine and pestilen ce had destro yedthe grea ter part o f the N agayan hordes ; the remainder had fled

to A s trakhan,hoping to find subsistence there , b ut dr iv en thence ,

they pe rished b y hunger in such immense numb ers, that the

on the a rr ival o f sh ips in spr ing, he set sa i l,Jun e 9 1 564

for E nglan d from which he had b een absen t three yea rs .

I t may b e suppo sed tha t the labours of Jen k in son , duringthese trav els , were rewarded b y the compan y rece iv ing him

amongst the number o f its memb ers , fo r in the next cha r

A lter J enkinson , live more transpo rts of goods from England took

place; but the murder o f the persons in charge , the frequent pillage o f the

c aravans, and the very irregular and uncertain payment , presented so manydangers , b y land, b y sea

,and even b y the Vo lga , that the trade was

finally ab andoned in 1681 .

XVI I I

te r g iven b y John ( 1 567) h is name appears amo ngst those o f

the E ng lish merchan ts to whom it is gran ted . A t all even ts

as soon as the necessity of in tercess io n with the czar presen ted ttse lf, the cho ice of the compan y fe ll upon Jenk inson , and

o n the 4 - th May 1 566, he aga in left E ngla nd fo r Russia .

The reason o f h is be ing sen t this time wa s a mo st a la rmingrepo r t which had reached the company , that a certain I ta lian ,

R a phae l B arber in i , settled in Russ ia ,was endeavouring to in

jure the E nglish trade , b y assur ing the czar that the waresbrought b y the E ngl ish merchan ts , were n ot of E ngl ish pro

duction , b ut might b e obta in ed much mo re ad v an tageously

d irec t from the Dutch and G ermans . Jenk in son was instruc ted

to demand the expulsion of B arber ini , and the prohi b ition of

the en try o f the Dwina to all foreigners—demands which wererendered extreme ly d ifficul t from the fac t of B ar b er in i hav ing

been rece ived b y the cza r as the bearer o f a letter from E li

za b eth,which he had obta ined from her under the fraudulen t

pre tence that he was go ing to Russ ia fo r the reco very o f debtsowin g to him b y some E nglishmen res iden t there . J enk ia

fulfilled this commissio nwith en tire success ;moreo ver , he obta ined from the cza r a n ew char ter b y which a ll person s n o t

b e longing to the company , whether E n glishmen o r fo reigners ;

were fo rbidden to en ter any of the mouths o f the Dwina , o r toan cho r a t C o lmogor , Co la , Mezen ,

P echenga , the is land of S o lo

vetsk y ,the P etcho ra o r the O b i ev en a t W ardhuys . The company

wa s n o t on ly con firmed in the po ssession of its house at Mo scowa nd the r ight to establish wa rehouses on the Dwina, at Vo

logda , Ya roslav l , Ko stroma , N ijn i , Kazan , A strakhan , N ovo

, N arva an d D o rpat , but a lso acqui red the pr iv ilege to tran spor t its merchand ise without duty to Shemakha ,B okha ra , an d Chaday i . s . Samarcand .

The mo tiv e o f this read in ess on the par t o f John must apparen tly b e sought fo r in the state of his min d a t tha t per iod . Fromthe t ime o f his marr iage with the C ircass ian prin cess , commenced that wild

,un restra ined aban donmen t to his passion swhich

has in scr ibed his re ign in blo od in the annals of Russ ia . I t

is v a in to a llot his execution s to var ious per iod s in one

o ther,the misfortunes o f the one , the misfo r tunes of the

o ther , that if o ne of them should b e obliged’

to forsake his

k ingdom, the k ingdom of the o ther might b e free to him as

his own possession .

With this commission Jen k inson was sen t to E ngland pro

bably in autumn , b y way of Lithuan ia , fo r in N ovemb er of

the same yea r ( 1 567) he had a lready set it down in writingin London : the czar was in haste he required an an swerb y S t . P eter

’s day ( 29 - th June), con sequen tly b y the spr ing

ships .

B ut it d id no t enter in to the calculation s o f E lizab eth to

conc lude a treaty ofi'

ensiv e and defensiv e with John ; she couldexpect n o assistan ce from Russ ia in her were aga in st the

Ca tho lic powers ; and to commence ho stilities aga in st P o land and

Sweden , the enemies o f Russia,would b e con trary to the in ter

ests o f E ngland . Russia was no t to E ngland a coun try o f

an y po li tical importance ; it was merely a conv en ien t trade

ma rt fo r the barter of E nglish wares , and when ce could b e

rece ived the rawmaterials , necessary to the ma in ten ance o f

E nglish in dustry . The term fixed b y the czar passed , and no

answer was made to his pmpo sition ; he was ev en left in

ign o ran ce whether Jenk inson had fulfilled the trust committedto him.

A bout this time the compan y o f E nglish merchan ts trad ingto Muscov y incurred a great d anger the loss o f the monopo lythey had hither to enjoyed of the Russian trade . A t the fall

o f the Teuton ic Order , the terr ito ries belonging to it werepar titio ned b etween the k ings o f Sweden and P o land , and

John was confirmed in the possession of the western po rt ion ,E s thon ia an d L iv on ia . The grandfather of John , b y erecting the

fo rtress of I vangorod , separate d from the town o f N arva on ly

b y the r iv er,had shown how much impo rtance b e attached

to the sov ereign ty o f tho se parts ; it secured to Russia a sea

po rt on the B altic . B y brin ging the western ban ks o f the Vo l

kho t,the P eipus

,and the N aro va , under the Russian sway ,

John was en abled to esta b lish a safe route for traffic from

P sk o fl'

and N ov ogorod to Na rva , and with a firm foo ting on

_ n y _.

the B a ltic coast, to b ow out that window towards E uropewhich itwas reserved - to P eter the G reat to throwopen a centur yand a ha lf later . John no t on ly adopted the v iews of his grea t

pre d ecessor as to the importan ce of N erve,but in tak ing

po ssession of it, d iscerned the po ssibility of rec tifying an immen seerro r committed b y his grandfa the r : the ruin of N ov ogorod

b y the cessation o f commerce with the H an se . H e endeavoured to a ttract to N arva the trade of Lub eck ; and , while con

sen ting , at the desire of E lizabe th , to clo se the ports of the

W hite Sea to a ll strangers except the E ngl ish ,he , at the

same t ime opened the trade at N erve to all fo reigners more

especia lly the Lub eckers . The Musco v y agen ts o f the E nglish

commny also established there an agen cy ; but the facto rs

sent for that purpo se , B utte r and G lov er , b y the means

of one,Chappel , entered into d irec t communication with the

merchan ts belonging to ano ther E nglish company trad ing to

Lubec'

k an d G ermany , and thereby caused great injury to theW hite Sea company . The latter b ecame alarmed , and at once

has tened to put a term to this dangerous competition ; at its

so licitation , after the return of Jenk in son E lizabeth had sen t

out her messengers, Man ley and Midd leton ( the former in O ctob er 1 567, the latter in F ebruary to demand that the

aforesaid fac tors‘

should b e seized and sent to E ngland ; b ut

John was part icularly well d ispo sed towards Rutter , formerlytranslator to Jenk inson , and toward s G lover who had

a lso tak en part « in the afl'

airs o f brotherhood and frond

shippe » be tween the czar and the queen . Chappel , likewise ,‘a t the risk of his life had executed sev era l commissions fo r

the czar at Lubeck ; furthermore Man ley, and Middleto n , «em

b rased with pr ide , would make n o aunswere», as to whetherJenk inson had fulfilled the czar

s trust; they were bo th deta ined , as was also a third messenger , G oodman , un ti l a replyshould b e received from E lizab eth .

This measure was sug

gested‘

b y the ca lumn ies inven ted b y . the factors , who affirmed

that the messengers had no autho r ity from E lizabeth tha t the

letter brought b y them was a fo rgery , an d they, themselves ,

sp ies o f the king of P o land , who emplo yed every poss ible

mean s to hinder the trade of N e rv e . Th is last reason might

appear the mo re proba b le to John,from the fact tha t ev en

befo re the arr ival of Jen k inson in 1 567, Sigismund ll , hopin g

to in spire John with suspic io n again st the E nglish merchan ts ,

had secretly sent pretended letters of thanks purpo rting to he

addressed to them,had fitted out ships from D antzig to capture

the v essels go ing to N erve , had persuaded the D a nes and

Swed es no t to use that route , and thre atened E liza b e th tha t

lo ss of l ife , l iber ty , wives and child ren » awa ited tho se who

should carry wares and weapo n s to N ar va—« to the Mosco v ite

who was n o t o n ly the tempo rary enemy o f the k ing of P o lan d,

b ut the he red itary foe o f a ll free n a tio ns».

Such be ing the state of affa irs , E l iza b e th dete rmined to sen d

an amb assado r ex traord in ar y , and fo r this trus t she se lec ted

o ne o f her courtiers who had a lready served as amb assad o r ,

Thomas R ando lph , mas ter o f the queen’

s po sts . H is pr in c i

pa l busines s was , with the aid of two agents sen t with him,to

put in o rder the ad'

a irs of the merchan ts , and to demand the

expuls ion o f the facto rs who had injured the trade of the com

pany; as to the treaty o f a ll iance , he was to pass it over in

s ilence , o r an swer vague ly, so as to avo id engaging E ngland

in the wars o f Rus s ia with P o land and Sweden ; as to the

secret message o f Jen k inson , he was to info rm the czar tha t

the queen ,kn owing his power and wisdom,

thought Jen k inso nmus t have misco nce ived the message he had brought , but if,however , any mischance happened , the czar might b e sure o f

a fr iend ly reception in E ngland ; tha t the queen , fo r her own

part , trusting in the mercy o f G od , had no fear o f da nger ,

either from he r own subjects o r from any fo reign enemies .

I n her letter to the czar , E l iza b eth on lymentions trade afi'

ai rs ;

the rema inder o f her in structions , R ando lph was to tran smit b yword o f mouth, to avo id a ll wr itten documents .

R ando lph arr iv ed in the harbour of S t . N icho las June 231 568, b ut on ly reached Mo scow October 1 5 ; the E nglishwerefor b idden to go to welcome h im; he an d his suite were no t

allowed to quit the house ass igned to them, and no o ne was

admitted to them. John,in his letter to E l izabeth

, exp la in s

this b y saying that R an do lph would no t confer with his lordson any subjec t un ti l he had been received b y h imself; b ut it

seems more pro b able to suppo se that the czar d id n ot wishthe ambassador or his a tten dants to knowwhat was then pas

sing at Mo scow: execution s fo llowing on e upon another , the

R eserv ed b od ygua rd urged b y the czar to ev ery so rt o f out

rage , the metropo litan to rn from his episcopa l sea t and thrownin to P erhaps also , the czar was influenced b y the

ca lumn ies of the compan y’

s Mo scov ite facto rs , who fear ingthe detec tion of their a buses b y the agen ts accompany ingR ando lph, d id al l they could to slander the ambassado r ,throwing doubt ev en on the authen ticity of the letter he ha d

brought from the queen . The latter suppo sition is confirmed

b y the compla in ts of Rando lph tha t bo th the letters he wro teto E ngland , an d those whi ch were sen t thence to him,

were ,through the in tr igues and accusation s of B enn et an d Rutter ,se ized a t N arva

,an d del ivered over for tran slation to o ne

of the pr incipal o fi'

enders R a lph Rutter .

I n his fo llowing letter , however, John attr ibutes the n on

receptio n o f R ando lph for so long a time , to the prevalen ceof the plague with which G od had v isited the coun try.

O n the 9 - th o f F ebruary 1 569 , R andolph was at las t re

ce ived b y the czar , but without the hon ours usually shownto an ambassador : the hour fixed for his reception was very

ea rly ,8 o

clock in the mornin g ; n o horses were sen t e i ther

fo r himself o r his suite , so tha t he was obliged to hire a

saddle ho rse fo r himself and his suite wen t on fo o t to the

pal ace ; when he a rr ived a t the ambassadors office , he wasmad e to wait there full two hours; and at his presen tation to

the czar,he was n o t hon oured b y an in v itation to the czar

s

table .

A few days later , the czar sent for him in the evening for

a conference ; this conference was surrounded b y the greatest

secr ec y : on a co ld da rk n ight R ando lph, disguised in 9. Rus

s ia n dress , was conduc ted to the pa lace b y the personage sen t

to fetch him, and whom he ca l ls « the long duke ». The confer

en ce lasted three hours and Ran d o lph re turn ed home on ly to

XXIV

wards mo rn ing. N ext day the czar left fo r the A lexandrov sky

Sloboda , and R ando lph was again admitted to an audien ce

on ly in the beginn ing o f A pr il, but this time he was rece ived

mo re grac iously , and new priv i leges were given to the E ng

lish merchants , allowing them to carry on the ir trad e withP ersia , through Russ ia ,

to search fo r mines of iron a t Vychegda ,

an d to'

co in money at Moscow,N o vogorod an d P skofi’

; E ng

lishmen carrying on trade at N arv a apart from the company ,were fo r b idden to con tinue i t ; and the company rece ived the

right to seize the fo re ign ships which had begun to frequen t

the White S ea po rts , o n con d ition that half o f the v alue se ized

should go to the imperial treasury . I t is wo r thy o f remark

tha t b y an article o f this charter , the house of the E ngl ish

merchants is transferred from the N ational to the Re serv ed

jurisd iction ; this d eta il , taken in conjun ction with the fact

that all the conferences with R an do lph were conducted b y the

well known fav orite o f John , on e of the principal R eserv ed

people , P rince A thana sius I v ano vich V iasemsk y , proves tha tJohn cons id ered the con nection with E ngland n o t in the least

as an internatio n al afia ir , but as a matter perso nally co ncom

ing E lizabeth and himself.

The czar ordered R ando lph,after receiv ing this charter

,

to fo llow him to Vo logda , announc ing that he should b e d is

patched then ce in company with his amb assado r A ndrew G re

goriev ich So v in . The czar was in such haste to send o fl’ his

amb assado r . that the day after taking leave at Vo logda ,Rando lph was told b y S ov in that he was allowed three

days for preparation , at the exp iration of which time, all his

good s would b e thrown out of doo rs .

The a im of Rando lph ’

s mission was attained : the companyof E ngl ish merchants had received n ot on ly the confirmatio n ,but also an increase of its priv ileges ; the competition of fore ign

ers in the White S ea trade was averted : the injury like ly to

b e caused to the traffic a t N erve b y E nglishmen trad ing there

on their own account was put a stop to , at the very commen ce

ment,

and the ringleader of the d isturbance , G lover , was

g iven up to R an do lph to answer befo re the compan y fo r h is

do ings .

B ut John was inten t on obtain ing a treaty o ffensive and

d efen s iv e , and a lthough R ando lph succeeded in ev ad ing fo r

himself the conclus ion of such a treaty , still he could n o t

refuse to take S ov in to E ngland with him. The in structio ns

delivered to S ov in co n tain ed clauses , to b e in clud ed in the

treaty and which the queen was required « to cause to b ewr itten in Rousse wo rds fo r wo rd ».

The requests of John prov ided that E l izabe th and he should

upho ld o n e ano ther again st their common fo es ; tha t they should

he lp one ano ther b y tr00 ps , mon ey and arms ; tha t the subjec tso f the on e should ha ve the r ight to settle in the coun try o f

the o ther , and trade there , free from duty . and all hinderan ce .

B y a secret artic le bo th so vere igns were to engage that in case

o f d anger , the one should find refuge in the k ingdom of the

o ther . This conven tion was to b e confirmed on the part of bo thb y k iss ing the cro ss , and seal ing with the great seal in the

presence of ambassadors to b e mutua lly exchanged fo r tha t

purpo se . E lizabe th’

s ambassador was to b e A nthon y Jenk in son ,and he was to leave for Russia at the same time as of S ov in .

To confer with. So v in, E lizabeth named some o f her most

trustwo rthy di gnitaries , lo rd s o f her priv y counc il . The confer

ences lasted nea rly a year (from July 1 569 to May but

they led to no result . The E nglish lords dec lared that the

queen befo re engaging E ngland in the wars o f the czar with

his en emies , should assure herself of the justice of tho se wars ,and try the success o f her in terpo sition to put an end to them.

S o v in insisted on the literal transcr iption o f the co nv en tion

demanded b y the czar,no t cons ider ing it compatible with the

d ign ity of his so vere ign that the justice of his acts should b e

ques tioned b y E lizabeth . E lizabeth hoped that the czar on

reflect ion would desist from his demands , and the fo llowin gsp ring when S ov in urgen tly asked for his dismissal , she let

him leave without Jenk inson , at that time absent (perhaps ,purpose ly)from London , in trusting him, no t with the trea ty ,

but

with two letters—one,such as she usua lly sen t on the dismissal

o f amb assado rs , the o ther secret , signed b y her , and sealed with

her own,sma ll pr ivate signet . I n the fo rmer , con ta in ing the

answer to S o v in’

s osten sible mission , she undertakes to enter

into a league with Russia for mutual a id aga inst their com

mon enemies , and the preserv ation of Russ ia from injuriescommi tted b y any person o r po tentate whatsoeverg—in the latter ,the secret one , she promises John

,for himself, his family , an d

al l he sha ll bring with him, shelter in E ngland , in the even t

lest « b y any casual l chaunce either of secr ite con sp iracie , o r

outward hostill itie he shoul d b e driv en to change his coun try».

Such an an swer could no t sa tisfy John ,who had then attain

ed tha t period of fur ious tyranny which is unparallelled inhisto ry when the v ict ims of his execution s were in scribed fo r

masses on the church registers , no t b y name , no t b y tens , no t

b y hundreds , but in who le thousands . H e breaks out in tov io len t abuse in his letter to E lizabeth

,wri tten after the return

o f Sov in . W e had thought , he writes , that youwere sove

re ign in your own country ,and ruled with so v ereign power ,

ca r ing for the hon our an d profit of your coun try , therefo re wewished to tr ea t with you, as with a so vere ign . B ut we perceiv ethat other man

,without you,

like a ma id , ( «you flows in“

your mayden lie estate like a

I t is n o longer necessa ry to con tinue our inter coursewith you, and you may send back the charter we gran ted ;but if it b e no t sen t back , it is of no consequen ce—we annul

it,and a ll similar priv ileges gran ted b efore ; we shall see how

to our

prince ly honour and pr ince ly profit ! A nd even before the

E nglish merchan ts came , the empire of Muscovy wanted fornought .

This letter was brought b y a person in the serv ice of the

c ompany , former ly interpreter to S ov in , one Dan iel S ylvester .

B ut before he arr iv ed in London , news had b een received , pro

b ably b y way o f N arva,that the cza r had no t on ly depr ived

the E ngl ish merchants o f the ir freedom, b ut had se ized all the ir

A t C o lmogor J en

kinson had to en dure every in sul t from the people there , and

mo reover , rece ived the most alarming repo rts tha t, on accoun t of

the czar’

s d ispleasure , al l the good s andwares of the E nglishmerchants had been tak en from them; tha t they had been re

fused the paymen t of the de b ts owing to them; that the vas

b y D ev let G hire i , the proper ty laid up in the E nglish sto re

house had been co nsumed , to the value of roubles .

P ro b ably the repo rt had also reached Jenk in so n tha t the czar wasfar from b e ing so licitous no t on ly about the afi

airs of the E ng lish

merchan ts, o r about the o rgan izatio n of his empire

,devas

tated b y famine , plague , and the in cursions o f the C r imeans .

First o f all,the czar took v engean ce for the d ishonour o f

his pus illan imous flight before Dev let G hirei, putt ing to death

al l tho se boyars whom he was pleased to accuse o f ha v ingin s tiga ted the in vasio n ; then he was busy , choo sing him

self a br ide from amongst the beauties co llected from through

out a ll the empire ; then fo llowed the illness o f the lady

se lected , Martha S o b ak in ; the arrangemen t of the ceremon ies

of the wedd ing with her ; an d finally , gr ief for her untimelydeath , gr ief which instituted , as fun erea l rims fo r her , freshexecution s o f those who were accused o f hav ing bewitchedher l

These execut ion s seemed to calm John and to in spire himwith the conv iction that the dea th of these in testin e foes had

fi rmly esta b lished hi s personal safety . A t all ev en ts, whenJenk in son was at last admitted to his presence a t the A lexan

drovsky S loboda , and afterward s at S tar i tza to take his leav e,

John informed him that he had put o ff fo r the presen t the

secret affa irs , that is to say , the nego c iat ions about the mutualo a th to b e taken b y him an d E lizabe th to afford on e ano ther

shelter at all times . H e then announ ced that he had remitted his

d ispleasure aga inst the E nglish, giv en them back their pr iv ileges , and ordered that in future they should hav e a guard

for their pro tec tion dur ing the ir nav igation of the Vo lga fo r

traffic to coun tries beyond the Caspian S ea .

In examin ing the papers relative to Jenk inson ’

s embassy ,one is struck b y the queen ly d igni ty of E liza b eth

s reply to

John when he angri ly calls her «ma id » or ra ther «wen ch».

—N o merchants , she wr ites , go vern our count ry for us, but

we rule it ourse lves with the rule befitting a v irgin queenappo in ted b y G od ; and no sovereign has more obed ien t subjeeta, for which we render thank s to G o d . There is also

much d ign ity in the answer o f J ohn,when Jenk inson request

n ame the o fi‘

en dersz—J on sha ll no t kn ow them; I have fo rgiven

their offen ces , an swered the czar, and wha t would my pr in ce

queen for pun ishmen t?The chief aini o f Jenk in son ’

s mission was thus attain ed ; he

had resto red the trade of the Wh ite and C aspian seas to the

L ondon company ; b ut the indemn ity fo r the damage in

curred,

although promised , was n o t pa id . B e s ides which,John ’

s conduct toward s Jenk in son prov ed that the la tter had

greatly fal len from his fo rmer fav our . O f the year pas

sed b y him in Russia, (from the 26- th of June 1 571 to

the 23 - rd Jun e 1 572) he was deta ined e ight months a t

C o lmogo r ( t ill January 1 572) and a month and a half at

P ereaslav l ( F eb ruary 3 to March after his receptionb y the czar at the Sloboda , he was sen t to Tv er , where ,

with out o ccupation , he awa ited the a rr ival of the czar a t

The servan t sen t b y him to N o vogorod to reca ll these things to

O n the 23- rd of Jun e 1 572 , Jenk in son too k a fina l leave

his emb assy and presen ted the compan y with a memoria l

O n the retir emen t of Jenk in son from the company’s ser

was to ask for herself shelter in Russ ia in case of necessity ;also that she had shown no read in ess to con firm this trea ty

to these demands , would , acco rd ing to Sylv ester , secure the

pos itio n of the E ngl ish company in Russ ia , and br ing grea t

profi t to its trade .

The co rrectn ess of Sylveste r’

s opinion is shown b y the

co nclud ing wo rds of the letter he brought from the czar ,

(Aug . 20 - th —A nd if y ouwish fo r mo re ami ty and

fr iendship from us , ponder upon that busin ess , b y which youmay increase our amity toward s you.

E l iza b e th was grea tly as ton ished a t these demands ,from

which , at Jen k inson’s las t mission two yea rs b efore , John had

seemed en tirely to desist . Knowing b y exper ien ce wha t hersub jects might expect from the despo tism o f John , she feared

to pro v oke him,b ut a t the same time mad e a last a ttempt to

that the queen wasa b o ve a ll things , anxious to preserve the sec re t o f her nego tiati

been impo ss ib le ; tha t to allowa deed already s igned b y her to

E ngl ish customs,in compa tible with her ro ya l d ignity. Still

more strik ing is the reason given b y E liza b e th fo r r efusingto ask , like the cza r

Sylvester found the czar John a t that incredi ble per iod of

when he heard of it , sa is ng « G od s will b e don n l»During the three succeed ing years , John seems to hav e had

no particular in tercourse with E nglan d . The cares a tten d ing

the war with Sweden and especially with P o land , ev iden tly

engrossed all his attention ; and care was indeed necessary , no t

so much for preserv ing the conquests made in Livon ia , as to

provide for the pro tec tion of the Russian territory : a lready

several of the n o rthwestern pro v inces were ov errun b y the

en emy. The czar had need , and v ery immed iate need , o f

warl ike mater ials—copper,lead , sa lps tre , sulphur , powder ,

and such l ike . To deman d the send ing o f such articles , John

determin ed to despa tch to E lizabeth ov erland a person in

the emplo ymen t o f the compan y ,a certain Jerome H orsey ,

who had a ttracted the czar’s atten tion b y his ready wit

an d b y his accoun ts o f the manner o f b uild ing and armin gships in E ngland . H orsey in curred grea t dangers ; he wa s

Meck lsn b urg, where he ran the same r isks from the Swedes;it wa s on ly on arriv ing at Lubeck and H amburgh tha t he

could con s ider his l ife in safety . That the czar himse lf

thought the a ttempt very ven turesome , is shown b y the

impe ria l o rder that John ’

s letter should b e enc lo sed in the

false sides o f a wooden flask con tain ing spirits , whichH orsey was to carry hidden in the mane o f his horse . A fter

man y ad ven tures , H o rsey succeeded in reach ing H amburgh ,and from thence go t to London an d deliv ered to E lizabethhe lette r taken from the flask . I n the spr ing o f 1 581 he

b rought back to Russ ia thir teen ships laden with the waresdemanded b y the cza r , to the value o f pounds . The

czar mo st grac iously praised H o rsey fo r the rapid and success

ful fulfi lmen t o f his trust; the queen rewa rd ed him b y nomi

nat ing him esquire of her body . H encefo r th H orsey took

the lead amo ngst the E nglish merchants at Moscow, and con

tinned to do so , ev iden tly b y his own choice , till afte r the

dea th o f John and the first years of the reign o f Theodo re .

The fo llowing year 1 582 , John sen t as amb assador to

E lizabe th Theodo re A ndreev ich P isssmsky and with himthe un dersecretary E piphanius N eoodacha Vassil iev ich Khovralef. They were empowered to b r ing to a con clus ion the

pose a marriage fo r the czar with a relation o f the queen ,«P r incess Khan tin sky » i . s . with Lady Mary H as tings , daughterof the E ar l o f Huntingdon . P issemsky

This in ten tio n , however , d id n o t remain‘

a secret; publicrumour ascribed it to « the wicked G erman magic ian , ca lled

B y the a id o f these ind isputa b le facts , it may b e po si tivelya ffi rmed tha t John had con ce ived the idea o f a fl ight to E ng

tha t the trad ition a s to his in tend ed marr iage with E lizabethis pro ved to b e en tirely without founda tio n .

O n his arr iva l in E ngland , P issemsky could no t b e imme

hereupon , during the stay

F inally, S ir William Russel,who had b een n amed to accom

B owss received the mo st explic it in struc tion s;—respectingthe treaty o f al liance , he was to ins ist o n the in sert ion o f the

her ill health , an d then , if the czar in sisted , b y saying tha t

the lady’

s paren ts would n o t giv e the ir co n sen t, and that the

queen had n o power to oblige them to do so . I n case o f the

czar coming to E nglan d , he was promised b y the queen a

welcome as affectionate as the most beloved ally could expec ta n d that every thing should b e done fo r him which the

queen ’

B owss was to b e the con firmation to the company of a ll its

exemption from a ll duties .

S everal documents hav e been preserved re lating to the

tha t he had no instruc tion to n ame these lad ies ; but if E liza

he wen t on fo ot to the Kremlin , because , in his opin io n the

A nd the terr ib le cza r John Vassil iev ich, n o t on ly b ore

I t is easy to comprehen d how much ha tred was felt b y theRussian s toward s the detes ted match -make r, who arrogan tly

The delusio n of B owss was no t o f lo ng dura tion ; o n the

18- th of March 1 584 , the czar John Vassil iev ich was s itting

half- d ressed after h is b ath,

F o r mo re than two mon ths , B owss was kept in this confine

H owever , it is impo ssible not to suppose tha t in her d iscourse shs showed some o f the angry fee l ing she expresses inthe letter she sen t to the cza r b y B eckma n ; and it wouldhave b een d ifi

the answer . to the letter b rought b y him was sen t b y H o rsey .

I t was highly impo r tan t to H o rsey to fo resta ll the n ews whichmust get to London o f his a r b itrary ac ts , an d his malve rsat io n s

Meck lenburg and P ome ran ia , he reached H amburgh, and

from then ce wen t b y sea to London . it is ev iden t tha t he

succeded in giv ing a favourable account o f the affa irs o f the

felt conv in ced that his power d epended o n the dura tion o f the

czar’

s l ife , was anxious for the continuation o f the imper ial

race, and lo ng before the depar ture o f H orsey had spo kento him on that subject; such, a t le ast, may b e inferred from

his letter to H o rsey Aug . 1 5 , 1 585 . « C on cernynge thos matteres

E liza b e th’

s le tter b rought b y H o rsey to the czar is wr itten ina most conc iliato r y tone ; she almo st apo logizes fo r B ows s , and

expla in s his conduct b y his igno rance tha t it was customa ry to

appear without arms on firs t comi ng before the so vere ign

after his fa ther s dea th; she excuses the secret journey o f

the messenger to Liv on ia b y the desire of P eaco ck to send

his accoun t to the company as quick ly as po ssi b le ; she

v ouches that Chappel is no t a Lub s cker b ut an E ngl ishman ;she begs the czar to remi t his wra th aga ins t her merchan ts an d

to give them back the ir char ter with its full priv ileges; butshe rejects with ind ignation the accusation s o f B eckman

ca l ling them slander .

W hen H orsey returned in summer , o rder was given to

deta in the midwife at Vo logda ; i t ma y b e suppo sed tha t the

Russian people , gen erally illd ispo sed to fo re ign doc tors ,

would have thought it schnd alous to al low the imperia lchild to b e ushered in to the wo rld b y a here tic midwife ; a t

a ll even ts after be ing deta ined a t Vo logd a a full year , she

was sen t back thence stra ight to E n glan d . H o rsey, h imself,was we llcomed b y G odo o n o f with his fo rme r k in dness, and

after receiv ing a new char ter , in August o f the fo llowingyear , 1 587, was aga in de spatched to E l izabeth .

B ut this time H o rsey d id n o t meet with the same reception from the compan y; on the con trary an accoun t wasdeman d ed from him of h is arbitrar y measures , o f which the

news had reached London ; mo reov er he lea rned , that to come

to a clearer un derstand ing of the real state o f E nglish affa irs

in Mo scow, it had been dec ided to send thither her majes ty’

s

master o f requests , G i les Fletcher , and wi th him an accred i

ted agen t o f the company, Austin Fulk s s . H o rsey dete rmined

on secretly lea v ing L ondon,

and re turn ed to Russia . B ut

here also , he met with a grea t change in his reception : thecause o f this change was the o ld enemy of the E ngl ish trade ,

the secreta ry S chelkalof who had a personal an imos ity aga inst

H orsey o n account o f some abus ive wo rds b y which on one

occasion H orsey had o ffended h im.

—XLVI

A t the v ery b egin n ing o f the company’

s trade to P e rs ia ,

o ne of its agen ts for tha t trade was a ce rta in A n thony Marsh;a t a la ter per io d Marsh , without giving up h is accoun ts, too k

ad van tage o f John’

and b y his mean s Ma rsh o b ta in ed a cous i

,Ma rsh tran sferred his personal de b ts

to the accounts o f the c ompany; his bon ds were presentedfor paymen t, and a lthough the agen ts declared , tha t

,no t

the ir debto r and their adversa ry , yet S che lkalof o rdered the

who le o f the sum cla imed (mo re than r oub les) to b erecov ered from the property o f the company , found ing this

d ecis ion on the a sser tion o f Marsh,that amongs t o thers he

had fo r pa rtn er H o rsey , a t the time when the la tter man a

ged the E ngl ish house a t Mo scow. The d isplea sure of the

E nglishmerchan ts was turned on H orsey , who se so le rema ining pro tecto r wa s B o r is G odo ono f. B ut even G od oonof could

n o t Open ly take h is defence,for S chelk alof had succeeded in

o b ta in ing two v ery serious accusations aga in st H o rsey; one,

was a letter in H orsey’

s own handwr iting ,in wh ich he had

some years befo re , in fo rmed the agen t a t C o lmogor of his

in ten tio n to fi t out vesse ls to seize al l fo re ign ships comingto the W h ite S ea ; the o ther was the depo s itio n o f H orsey

s

E ngl ish serv an t that he heard h im once say o f Theo dore

l van o v ich « tha t he was -mee ter to b e a fr iar tha n a k ing»!

I t must , however , pro b a b ly b e a ttributed to the in fluen ce

of B o r is G odoono f that befo re the fin a l se izure o f the E ngl ish

Such be ing the state o f th ings , F letche r could har d ly

I n the mean time,the examin a tio n of Mar sh’

half- paymen t , amoun ting to roubles .

Fletcher had n o t ye t reached Vo logda when o rder wasrece ived b y its gov er n o r to deta in him in that town : the reason

o f th is was the ar riva l of a n ew E ngl ish messenger , G eo rge

B owes , who b rought with h im Marsh ,an d the repo r ts o f the

enquiry held at Lo n don about his debts . The ex amin a tion was

«govern or of the empires of Kazan and A strakhan , B o r is Theo

This dec ision was commun ica ted to Fletcher b y the governoro f the prov in ce of Dwina R o sgildey Lub o o chen in of, whowas a lso d irected to surrender Marsh to him and to arrange

ev erything for the departure o f the ambassado r . A ccord in gly

F letcher,tak in g with him H o rsey and Marsh

,left fo r E ngland

a t the end of July ,or the beginn ing of August , 1 589 .

I t is curious to compare the original where Elizab eth speaks of H orsey,with the contemporary Russian translation . Elizab eth wri tes : ,,W e marvelnot a little that he so unwisely reso lved to depart , and we do no t supposethat the complaints (presented against him)concern your highness or yourcounsellors“. The translation says: ”A b out this we much marvel that helike a tool as he is, did so , and we feel assured that b y this contention b e

caused much annoyance to the persons ab out your majesty .

H orsey must have b een po ssessed of much clev e rness and

impuden ce ; o therwise it would b e d iffi cult to und erstan d how,

after run n ing away from E nglan d to Russ ia , and b eing sen t

b ack again from Russ ia to E nglan d , he yet once more co n tr i

v ed so far to propitia te E liza b eth , tha t, no later them A pril inthe en suing yea r , she aga in sen t him to Mo scow

,with a letter

in which she reproaches the czar with the afi‘

ro n ts offered to her

amb assador b y the an cient an tago n ist of the E nglish—S chelka

lof; she des i res to kn ow whether they were done with the

cza r’

s knowledge ; and in con clusion , begs htm to remo ve h is

d ispleasure from H orsey , who had been exposed to it b y the

ma l ice o f his enemies .

I t must b e b orne in mind , as the documents in the L on

don State P aper O ffice pr ov e , tha t the merchan ts of the L ondon company strenuously endeavoured to preven t H orsey

being sen t aga in to Mo scow, and tha t his b eing sen t wasen tirely owing to the ins istan ce o f S ir Fran c is W a lsingham.

I t is a well kn own fac t tha t this illustr ious d iplomatist,although himse lf incorruptible (he d ied almost in po ver ty)was remarkable fo r hi s double dea ling in po litical ma tters ,and especially chose as his agen ts , or to speak pla inly as

his spies,men o f doub tful reputation , as b e ing mo re likely to

b e devo ted to h im,and less scrupulous as to the mean s fo r

accomplishing his orders . I t can , scarcely, therefore, b e

erron eous to surmise that the cho ice o f W alsingham fell

upon H o rsey for the very rea son that his mission to the czar

would n o t b e agreeable , and that he also under took to fulfill

an o ther trust l ikely to b e a ttended with n o sma ll r isk b efo re

his arr iv a l a t Mo scow: he was to give n otice in H amburghand o ther H anseat ic town s tha t E lizabeth prohibited the

co nveyance o f any k in d o f goods to Spa in ; he was to pass onto C o logn e and assist there at the propo sed assembly o f the

queen ’

the D an ish pr incess with James o f S co tlan d , afterwa rds

You shal l use him and suche ceremon ies vsed as

the contrary of the state of the sa id emperour , of who s poweran d wisdom we haue good repor ts made to v s b y our sub iects

trading in his coun treie , we doo think that our said seruant

hath mistaken the in ten con of the sa id empero rs speche vutohim. A nd yet n euer the lee for the clearer vnderstand ing of

his wyn ds , we haue willed you to repets this ma tter , therin

to kn ow cleerly his in tencon , assuring him tha t if any mis

he shall b e frend ly rece iued in to our domin ion s,

and shall finds assured frend ship in v s toward the mayuts

spec ia l] graun te or couen an ts from v s in that b ehalfe sign ed

with our hand,and sealed with our seals .

A nd in such go od gen eral] sor ts we wo ld haue y ousa tisfis

him fo r priuiligs to the benefit of our merchan ts . I n whichcause our special] in tencon is to haue you to tran s ]! and

that is our sp eciall cause of sendyng you thither .

I tem we haue ordsyn sd tha t you shall presen t him from

There are extant in the S tate Paper O ffice three rough draftsof the let ters of Queen Eliza b eth to the C zar J ohn Vassilievich,which were to b e sen t in answer to his two letters b rought b yhis amb assador A ndrew Sovin and dated from Vologda on the

eo- th of June 1 569 . F rom those drafts it appears that at first it

was proposed to give but one answer to the two letters; b utafterward s (it may b e presumed at the request of Sovin) theoriginal draft was divided into two separa te ones . ofwhich thesecond (with the excep tion of the commencement) was at firs t

inserted in the primitive draft . These letters are here pub lishedin their fina l separate form under 25 and 16 26. The co r

rections in the original are in the handwri ting of L B urleigh

those made in the first dra ft are printed in italics; those in the

las t are inclosed in b rackets .

The copy of a letter sent to the ofMosoeuis, b y Christopherurreugh, anno 1670.

Mo st mightie empereur , e tc . W hereas S ir W i l l i am G a r

r a r d and his felowship the compan y o f E nglish merchan ts ,this last win ter sen t hither to the N arue three ships lad en

with merchand ise , which wa s left here , and with it Ch r i s top he r H e d s d e n one o f the sayd felowship , and the ir chiefs deer

in this place , who when hes eame fi rs t hither , a nd v n til] such

time as hes had d ispa tched these ship s from hence,was in

hope o f goods to lad s twelue o r thirteen s sa iles of good ships ,

against this shipping ,wherefo re he wro te vn to the sayd sir

W i l l i am G a r r a r d and his cempan ie to send hither this sp ring

the sayd numb er of thirteen s ships . A nd b ecause that in the ir

comming hither wee found the freeb oo ters on the sea , and sup

posing this yeere that they would he very strong, he therefo re

gene the said air W i l l i am and his companie aduise to furn ish

the sayd numb e r of ships so strongly , as they should b ee a b le

to withstand the force o f the fres b oe ters : whereupon they haue

acco rd ing to his aduice sen t this yeere thirteen s ships together

well furn ished with men and mun ition , and all o th er n ecessa o

rise fo r the warree , of which 1 3 ships W i l l i am B ur r ough

o ne o f the sa id fe lewship is cap ta in s gen era l] , vn to whom

1 02 Ne. 27.- 1 570

there was gin suin charge , that if has me t with an y the D an sk e

free b eo ters or whatseeuer ro b b ers and thesnes that are en imies

to your highnesse , he should doe his b est to apprehend and

take them. I t so hapned that the tenth day o f this mon eth the

sayd W i l l i amwith his fl eets , met with sixs ships of the free

b oo tet e neere vnto an island called Tuttes , which is a b out 50

versts from N arus , vn to which freeb oo ters he with his fleets

gaue chase , and teeke of them the admirall , where in were

left but three men , the res t were fled to shore in their b o ats

amongst the weeds v po n Tuttee , on which ship he set fire and

b urn t her . H e also teeks fours more o f these ships which are

new here , and o ne ship eecaped‘

him: out ofwhich fours sh ips

some o f the men fled in their b eaten and so escaped , o thers

we re slaine in fight , and some of them when they saw they

could n o t escape , cast themse lues willingly in to the sea and

were drowned . S o that in these fine ship s were left but 83 men .

The sa id W i I . B e r o ug h when he came h ither to N ame ,

find ing here C h r i s t o p h e r H o d s d e n aforenamed , b o th the

said C h r i s t o p h e r and W i l l i am together , in the name

o f air W i l l i am G a r r a r d and the rest of the ir who le com

pan is a nd fs le W sh ip , d id presen t vn to your highnesse of tho se

t’

here v n to Knez Vo iuo da . the 1 3 o f this mo neth . O ne man o f

those t’

reeb oo ters we haue k ept b y vs,who se name is H aun c e

S n a r k s a capta ins . A nd the cause why we haue done it isthis ; when wee should haue ds l iuered him with the rest of

his felowes vn to the ve iuodas s o fficers , there were o f our

E nglishmen mo re then 50 which fe ll on the ir kn ees vnto vs ,

requesting tha t he might b e reserued in the ship , and caried

b ack in to E ngland : and the cause why they so earnestly in

treated fo r him,is , tha t some o f these en r E nglishmen had

b ene taken with free b oo ters , and b y his meanes had the ir

A nd when wee d id send s our amb assado n r in to E ngla nd , a b out

and no amb a ssado nr sen t with him from the quee ns : wh ichc aused v s to thin ks

,tha t our p rin cely a tfa ires were se t as ide ,

and l ittle regarded , wherewith wee were a t tha t time much

grisusd : fo r the which cause , and fo r the sa il] b ehan iour o f

your merchan ts , resident in our domin io ns (who haue d iners

wayes transgressed and b roken o nr laws s , l ining wilfully ina l the ir do ings)we d id lay our b ean ie d isp leasure vpon them.

and d id take away from them the ir p riniledge , commaund ingtha t the same throughout all our domin ion s , should b e v oyd ,

and o f non e e ffe ct : and thereupon d id write to the queens oursister , touching our griefes .

A nd nowe her highnesss hath sen t vn to v s aga ins , you

A nd fo r tha t our p rincely , and secret a ttaires were n o t fin ished

wee will then talks of those matters aga ins . A nd for tha t it ha th

pleased the queen s our louing sister , to send s vn to v s a t this

presen t, and doeth desire to con tinue in friendship with v s for

euer (which wee do s gratefully accep t , and willingly agree to

the same) wee o f our goodn esss fo r her highnesss sake , willnot on ely from hencefoo r th put away , and fo rge t a ll our

to thei r prin iledges , and l i b erties , in , and throughout all our

domin ion s , and will signifi e the same b y our le tte rs , in a ll

townes an d c ities , where the sa id merchants do tra tfique , and

we will shewe them fauon r as a foretime , if they dessrue no t

the contrary . And if the queens our sister had no t sen t thee

A n t h o n y vn to v s a t this present , G od knoweth what weshould haue d one to the sa id mer chan ts , or whether we wouldhaue called b ack our indigna tion .

Then 1 humb ly b eseeched his ma - tis , to let me know the

particular on'

eness commi tted b y the sa id merchan ts , and the

the queens s ma—tis , my mis trcs , accord ingly , tha t the sa id

offende rs might receiue inst pun ishmen ts fo r the ir deserts : b ut

he sa id , I should no t know them, b ecause he had clesrsly t e

mitted al o ffences : and furthe r, that it was no t pr incely to

Then his ma - tie proceeding in tal ks , said : as touching the

articles of request , concern ing the marchan ts a ffaires , which

youd id yesterday deliner vn to our sec re tary , we haue no t

onely read the same our se lfe , but also haue appo in ted our

the same . A nd for tha t we a re now vpon our iourn sy towa rd sour b o rde rs , and will depar t from hen ce sho r tly , we will d ismisse

and putting o ff his cappe , sa id vn to me these wo rds : D oe our

hearty commenda tions v n to our louing sister , queen s E liza b eth ,

vn to whom we wish long life ,with happ ie successe: and

he rewith his highnes extend ed his hand to me to k isss , and

Youhave sen t to us your messenger D a n i e l S y l v e s t e r

from the letters which D a n i e l your in terpre ter b rought un to

you, youhav e understo od that we have shown grea t favo rto your merchan ts , ha ve allowed the ir d irec to rs T h o ma s

B a n n i s t e r , G e o f r e y Duc k e t and N i c h o l a s P r o c t o r ,

accord ing to your demand , to have free trad e in our realms .

A nd what have we done in the b usin ess o f T h o ma s G l o v e r

and R a l p h R ut t e r an d their con federates who l ived d ice rderly and did much harm?- we have d riven them out of our

emp ire . A nd we d id it from our love , for that youho nor as

and send us often your gree tings ; b ecause the said G l o v e r

d id no t trade fo r E ngland , but on ly cheated his compan ion s ,

who d id no t trad e acco rd ing to our pr iv ileges but b rought trade

from o ther coun tries, from F rance and G erman y . A nd your

agains t our peo p le ; you wish to know from us if what yourin terpreter D a n i e l has to ld to you b e true ,

as it is no t known

to you, b ecause you do no t in tend to change your wo rd and

1 64 16 36—1 574 n r . 20 .

yonr pledged faith and do no t wish to sufl'

er b y them; and

will no t in future send a ny merchan ts but those who are

faithful to you, an d known b y name , and trus ty; tha t those

who have b een in the lands of our enemies , should no t come

to trade in our land ; and tha t youwill con trive that such d isagreements should no t con tinue b etween us an d that we should

no t b ear any ind ign ation against your merchants . A nd you

grea tly pray us that we should punish these E nglish merchan ts ,who come without your order and apart from your merchants ,spo il the trade and promo te quarrels and treasons b etween us .

A n d in case it should b e so , your merchants sen t many wareswith W i l l i am Me r r i c k as their chief

, pray ing that weshould favor him and k eep him safe . A nd tha t the sa id T h o

money and has no thing to make p aymen t of it. A nd youpra yus

, accord ing to our ma - ties former priv ileges to pay it out o f

h is property to your merchan ts that they should no t suffer

any loss , as he has no thing mo re to repay it . A nd tha t the

rumour has come to youthat we have tak en fromyour merchantsand from your soc iety near Mo scow in th e A lexandro v ska ia

S lob oda E nglish wares to the amoun t o f roub les,which

sum we took upo n us to rep ay to your sa id merchan ts . A nd

tha t your amb assad o r A n th o n y J e n k i n s o n to ld you that

b efore your le tter came they had received their money, for

which you give us thanks . A nd you also pray us much that

we should fav ora b ly receive the request of your merchan ts toorder their deb ts to b e repaid them b y our sub jects and b y

o thers, acco rd ing to our priv ilege , which we have gran ted

them that they might willingly b ring the ir wares into our

the merchan ts o f your coun try b egan to live in our domin ionsun der our emp ire jo in ing our traito rs—whoever b e trays usb ecomes the ir friend—an d in every way they b egan to give

spy ing and tak ing the side of our en emies the Lithuan ian and

the Swede . A nd your sub jects b egan to come with the Swed es

to make war on our b orders . E ven un til n ow they continuallydo ev ery mischief and in iquity to our ma - ty and ev erywhere

and in ev ery way do prejud ice to our realm and have com

mitted man y iniquities in our emp ire , and this was the cause

of what b efell them. F o r the future youmust o rder that tho se

Swed e .—I t is no t sui ta b le to give b ack these goods , and tho se

who ga ve them must loose them, b ecause they gave them

to an ev il mind ed man . A nd there is no coun try , where one,

who comes from a foreign land , can liv e b y ev il prac tises

and b y spying. A nd he ought to b e judged and co ndemned

no t only to the loss of his goo d s but even to the loss of his

Th0 following supplement has evidently b een added in consequenceof the proceeding note of Daniel Sylvester ( yids

W hereas we concsavo the secrsate message you delivered

vuto vs from the empero r to stand in twoe po in ts : The one

that he should mislike our refusall to confirms b y o the the

league agreed on at the tyms of his amb assad or b sy ingo here ,as that it was no t sub scrib ed b y our eownssllors hands : theo ther , that he found it straunge that was shoul d make some

scruple to require like assurance of refuge at his hands , as

wee gave vppon his request made vuto vs for the same growntod vuto him.

F for the fyrst you shall dec lare vnto him, that thougho

wee had well hoped that he had concsavod so honora b ly o f

v s that n o o the could have drawen vs to a more sinecure

perfo rmance o f our promise deliv ered in writyngs signed withour hand , than the great respect wee b ears to the mayn tsn

ence of our prin c ely word , as in honor woo are b ownd : yetthe only and chiefs cawss whywee yoe lded no t to the confirma tion of the same b y o the grows of the

had to have the con tents of the sayd long (athynge no lssse earnestly b y him required , then iudged b y vs

of it ss lfe most necessaris eonsiderynge of what importan ce itwas towards him)which with no po ssib ilitio could have b een

performed with that so llemn itie that is vsnal l in that b eha lfe .

F for the leagues which was confi rms b y o the doe ord inar ily

passe our greats scale : which can no t b e done but tha t thesame must runn o througho the hands of so great a numb re of

our min isters as in no po ss ib ilitio they can b e koept sscrsat .

A nd as towchyngs his mislikyngo that the league was no t

signed b y our cown cell, y oumaye tell him that suche thingesas are s igned b y our se lfe are never sign ed b y our cowncell .

for that it is held a kynd of a b asemon t of the sta te and qualitiewoo should to hav e any ioyn sd with v s in that b ehalfe .

F for the o ther po int towchingo a request to b e made b yv s vuto him for assuran ce of refuge in case of nocossitie , youshall declare vn to him that yf our sub iects should never so

litlo eoncsave that woe grows into an ie doub t or susp icion of

an ie chawnge o r al teration in them towards vs (as was knowsthey woul d b y oonsontyngs to ths makings o f suche a request)y t would b rood so dangerouso a mislikyngs in them toward svs

dust; and verily, the hand of G od weighed heavily on B ussia during that eventful period : the Crimeans burnt l oscow; theplague laid waste whole provinces ; the burning and ransackingof Livonian towns did not prevent Livonia, Lithuania and Po

land from holding in check the whole armed force of Russia .

It was at this dreadful time that Czar J ohn thought of leaving Russia altogether; already he made overtures to E lizab ethfor shelter in the event of internal or external hostility drivinghim out of Russia; already b e built the fortress of Vologda,

where he accumulated his treasures in provision of a flight to

E ngland . And as a preparatory stop to this final issue, he putto the highest proof the submission of his sub jects: he gave upthe ostensib le part of his power to a stranger, to a vessel, to

a prisoner, to a more puppet he declared to b e G rand dukeof all Russia, S ime o n B c k b o o l a t o v i c h , who had only coased the previous year to b e the mahommodan S s a in B oo l o t

,

son of the Astracan refugee, Ka l‘

B o o l o t.

Daniel Sylvester seems to have arrived at l oscowand to havehad his first audience ab out the time of this pseudo- resignationof the throne of Russia (or rather, of the national domains of

the Russian people) to Simon; and John, mistrusting the resultof this daring stroke of his policy, openly speaks to him ab outhis having resigned the throne . B ut rumours reach himthat umb assadors have arrived on his frontiers with a mission to himfrom the Roman emperor; and that which he thinks useless toconceal from the messenger of the far off queen of E ngland , he

considers ab solutely necessary to withhold from the knowledge of

his doub tful confederate and neighb our, the emperor l aximilian;officers are immediately dispatched with the strictest orders to

conduct themwithout allowing them to hold any communicationb y the way, prob ab ly, to prevent any possib ility of their b eingapprised of the puppet showgoing on in l oscow: czar J ohn

has the amb assadors conducted to one of his reserved townsl oshaiah

, whither he repairs himself on the 1 5 - th J anuary 1 576.

173

The amb assadors (Kob cntzel and Printz) are dazzled b y the

splendour of their reception : Kob entzel declares ,,on his knightly

honour, that neither in Rome nor in Spain did he most with a

more summuous reception“. Theconferences terminate agreeab ly to

the intentions of the czar; and on the some day 29 January),whenthe amb assadors take their departure ignorant as it seams, of theexistence of a ny other Lord in Russia but the one whom theyhave seen

,Sylvester is admitted to the presence of the czar

John,who declares to him that , although he seems to have on

throned another, yet he has not so far resigned, but that he isab le to take the imperial dignity unto him again

“.

No documents, as yet known , prove howlong this contemptib lo comedy of a mock king lasted; its very existence seems tob e vouched for only b y very fewdeeds extant in copies . This ab

sence of information on so curious a point of history lends ad

ditional importance to the account of even so mean and sub ordinote an official as Daniel Sylvester the interpreter , employedb y the society of l archants trading in Russia“

; an accountwhich till lately lay unheeded among the documents of the

State Paper Office in London and which indisputab ly and dis

tinctly records the statement taken from the lips of the Terrib le

czar John that he once upon a time resigned a portion of his

sovereign rights, were it only over a part of Russia, to the 00spring of his conquered vassal the Tartar czar S s a in B o o l o t ,alias the Christian G rand Duke S ime o n alias the sightless

Oopie of instructions ginsuto Sir J erome B owss.

W hereas our good b rother K. and great Duke of all Rus

sia hath of late sent an emb assadour vn to vs to treats withv s of certo ine matters touching his sornico , which require somean swer from v s b y some especial] minister to b e sen t thetor . W e

haue thought goo d to make cho ise of you for the serv ice as

well in respect of the op inion concs iued b y v s o f your suffi

clancy to perfum e it to our good lik ing, as for the satisfac

tion of the said emperor , who b y his said amb assadour re

quested tha t a gen tleman so qualified , as in our op inion you

are , might b e sent vuto him.

H auing therefo re recoined this charge from vs, and b eingarriuod there , our pleasure is that after ds liuery o f our letters

accompanied with such complemen ts, as in like cases are re

quisito you shall gins him to vnderstand , in how acceptab le

sort we ta ke the send ing of an emb assadour vn to vs, recoin

ing thereb y great sat isfaction an d co n tentmen t b y the re

port his said emb assadour made vn to v s of his good estate

as we ll o f health, as of peacea b le and happy gouusrmon t,which was d sliuered vn to v s in so good so rt , as that we can

no t but think our so lfos grea tly hon ored b y him in send ing so

202 E 45 —1 583 nu.

graue and wise a coun sellour and min ister to vs,who ha th

no t fa i led to performs such good ofi‘

ices as b y h is careful ]

traua il therein it seemeth he recoined in charge , and werecommitted to his trust .

A nd as one part o f his message was to treats with v s o f

a league defensins and ofi‘

snsiue , so you shall declare vn to

him, that for his satisfaction therein , and to mak e it appear

vn to him, how accep tab le that motion was vnto v s , we haueo rdered vn to certa in o o f our conn co ll to conforr with his said

min ister therea b out, b y whom he sha ll vnderstand , what re

so lution is taken here , the same b eing delinered v nto him in

writting , wherewith we hope he will rest con tented , hauing

yeeldod (as on e tha t grea tly d esireth h is sa tisfac tion)s o farr

fo rth , as may stand with our hon nor , and due considera tion

had of our p r esen t state .

A nd for tha t his min ister d id no t at the first rest satisfied

in some po in ts o f our sa id an swer , which we caused to b e

d el inered to him in writting youshal l declare v n to him (incase an y occa sion b e there vn to ministred) tha t we thought

good to refert o the further enlargement o f our mind there in

to you, whom we haue expressely charged to mak e such de

l inery o f our said mean ing in our sa id an swer, as we doub tno t shall remoue all matter o f doub t, and wo rk that good ac

cepta tion in h im o f our sa id answer as we desire .

A nd therefo re you shall declare vn to him first that whereas his said min ister required of v s , tha t the treatty might

b e sett dowue in the same forms that he delinered it vnto v s ,

and our an swer accord ingly to each po in t, we thought goo d for

the b etter e xplana tion of the matters therein comprised , an d

that our answer might b e more o rderly framed to cause it to

b e so d istinctly sett down e in articles , as is presented to him,

no t doub ting, but he will conceine well of our mean ing therein

,con s ider ing that it was d one vppon no o ther respects ,

but fo r the b etter furtherance o f that he most desired , wherein after was had yeeldod our an swer to such demand s

,as b y

his min ister wa s propound ed , we foun d it exped ien t to adds

the reun to a request o f our own s , te nd ing to no o the r end, but

them, these three yeares last past, namely the first years one

thousand roub les, and the last years 600 roub les yearly , con

trary to all priuiledge in that b ehalf prouided , and we therein moued his min ister here to b e a meanes to him that the

said new exaction might b e remoued ; youshall in our n ame

pray our good b rother the K. that in that b eha lf our sub iects

may b e relieued , and accord ing to his former fauors b estowed vppon them, v sed as the sub iects of so frien dly as confe

derate , as we are , and means to b e vn to him.

H auing in this sort delinered our mean ing vn to him vppon

the treaty of amity , you shal l declare vuto him, touching the

secrette message and request he made vn to v s , b y this said

minister for and concerning the matter of marriage how the

lady mo tioned is fa llen in to such an ind isposition o f health

as that there is small hope she euer will rocouer such strength

as is requisite for the state , especially considering the longan d tedious voyage , she were to make , in case should vppon

report of his amb - r and v iew of her p icture , haue an y d ispo

sition to proceede therein,and therefore our pleasure is . you

v se all the b est perswasions you can to'

disswade him from

that purpose , laying b efore him the weaknes o f the lady ,

when she is in b est state of health , and d ifii culties, that areo therwise like to he stood vp pon b y the lady, and her frends ,

who can hardly b e iudured to b e so farr separate the one

from the other , whereb y the greatest comfort of them that are

users of b lood are cutt of, that vnlesse their good wills and

consen t might b e procured (which is a matter v ery doub tfull),the match could no t in any sort b e b rought to passe , considering tha t in those cases

,as ouer the rest of our sub iects ,

so espec ially ouer the n o b le houses , and famil ies , we haueno further authority then b y waye of perswasions to inducethem to l ike of such matches as are tendred them, and b y

good apparan te reason s maie tend to their aduancemcnt .

A nd for the o ther motion delinered vs in like secre tt

manner ( b y the interpreter , as hereto fo re it hath b ene b y someof our owns ministers sen t v n to him) vppon occas ion , as those

times ofi’red , touching hisse lfe repa ire hether in to our do

206 16 45 . 1 583 an .

Lastly our pleasure is you shall earnestly recomend to our

good b ro ther the K. the send ing home of J o h n F e n s h a mo ne of his apo thscaryes , who se father b e ing a man very aged ,desireth greatly to see him b efore he d ieth

,and to leave him

possession of such lands and good s as he hath gotten for him.

he b ad cred it and also to know the reaso n why these d e b ts

a re first o f a ll demanded an d made suit fo r : and our companymade them known and the said A n t h o n y Ma r s h dec lared

himself that there had b een giv en to him b y your ma - ty spe

302 J'é 63 .—1 589 ( an . 1 5 .

your great fa vour an d had given him your free privilege

under your seal , and therefore he had such cred it and no t

for our merchan ts sake . Furthermore i t is kn own to our

counse llors tha t they have thoroughly found out that your mer

chan ts first sought thsse de b ts from A n t h o n y Ma r s h and

for a lo ng time b rought comp la in ts aga inst him alone , and no t

aga inst the company; and tha t they requested also tha t y our

ma - ty would order his goods to b e tak en for their payment; and

tha t acco rding to their request his good s have b een tak en , a nd

out o f them the re hav e b een paid to your ma- ty’

s lord B o r i s

F e d o r o v i c h roub les , and to o thers also paymen t has

b een mad e . A nd a b out the said goods Ma r s h himself to ld

our councellors and it appears from his petition which he

p resented to your counse llors in which he asked that the sa id

goo d s should b e ta ken out of the hands o f your secre tary, as

your ma - ty’

s sa id secre ta ry has in his hand s roub les ;and our merchan ts in formed our coun se llors

,tha t the sa id

A n t h o n y had h imself p resen ted a peti tion to this effec t to

the lord B o r i s F e d o r o v i c h and to o thers o f your conn

a b out his goo ds , which were in your secretary’

s hand s , out o f

which your merchan ts and your o ther sub jects might hav e b e en

pa id , but it was also no tified therein , tha t the deb ts whichare required from him were his own spec ial deb ts , and that

he durst n o t require his goods from your se cre tary ,b ecause

he is a great man in o ffice . A n t h o n y Ma r s h gave our

counsello rs the copy o f this petition ,hav ing tran slated it in to

E ngl ish and we send it with the presen t messenger to your

ma - ty , as it has b een written un to you, and we deman d from

your ma - ty redress acco rd ing to this petition . Our coun

sellers d id a lso find out in this matter that R o b e r t P e a c o c k

our agent , a t the time when he was in Russia and hea rd that

the sa id A n t h o n y had con trac ted deb ts to your ma - ty’

P e a c o c k l i ved a t Mo scow as agen t and it was known t o a ll

your ma - ty’

R o b e r t P e a c o c k was the agen t o f the company and d id

n o t know of these de b ts , and tho se who trusted A n t h o n y

d id no t te ll it to h im (P eacoc k), b ecause they pr iv ily agreed

b e tween themse lves,and kept the ma tter secret, an d d id no t

te ll it to him,a lthough he asked them how much A n t ho n y

owed to them,and they did no t say to h im anything a b out

it . Mo st gracious pr in ce , it is k n own to you, tha t our

company sutfered lo sses to the amoun t of many thousand roub

les through the petty tradesmen and merchan ts o f your k ingdom

,but they endure it as if they d id n o t owe them any de b ts ;

and men who b ehave in such man ner may b e cred ited ; an d

may it p leas e your h .s to ca n cel these de b ts , on accoun t o fwha twas owing to our merchants b y your fa ther o f famous me

mo ry fo r the good s he to ok from them and o ther lo sses , fo r

which they were no t pa id , as they themse lves declare to the

amoun t of n o less than roub les . A n d our coun sel lo rs

a fter hav ing in vestigate d and sought out the sa id deb ts , hav e

come to knowtha t however much A n t h o n y Ma r s h may b e

inde b ted , there is n o reason to exac t it from our company . A n

t h o n y says a b out the sa id deb ts tha t he ga ve the sa id b ills o f

deb t in h is name , as it is wr itten in h is schedule , which is sen t

with this presen t le tter and wh ich is in his , A n t h o n y’s wr it

ing toge ther with h is pe tition which he presen ted to your ma ,

ty ab out h is good s , that he might pay his deb ts and the copy o f

this pe tition wo rd fo r wo rd is sen t together with the said sche

dule o f accoun t ; an d it is wr itten in the same , that he is inde b ted to your sub jec ts in his own specia l trade , the which appears

in his petition which he presen ted aga in st R o b e r t P e a c o c k

an d aga in st W i l l i am T rum b ul l . There is a lso wr itten in

ver b a tim (accord ing to the Russian , very immrfect translation) « the

old de b t , which was taken to our merchants on your father of M ona memory , which he took from them» etc . I t is eviden t that this passage refers

t o the confisca tion of G lover's goods and of the good s of the company at Vo

the sa id schedule how many wares he had p repared , fo r theW estern parts and for the S pan ish land ( i . 6 . G ermany and the

N etherlands); an d he declared also howmuch profit he wouldhave had , if on ly his wares had returned therefrom; and that

the said deb ts for which he is in deb ted are for the sa id par

ticular wares,and accord ing to his accoun t they are al l his

own special deb ts and all the sa id deb ts might have b een pa id

out o f his ship and his good s , if th is ship had n o t b een a llowed to depart at the time when R o b e r t P e a c o c k petitio n

ed to detain it ; and in th is matter the fault was that o f youro fficers , who might hav e given an o rder to this efl

ect .—A nd

we expec t therefo re that your ma - ty, tak ing adv ice with yourwise coun sello rs , will l i b erate our company from these deb ts

so that in future they should not b e required from them.

A n d whereas you wr ite that R o b e r t P e a c o c k and

ce ived your letter , an d what is wr itten there in , the fo rmer

comp la in ts aga in st the sa id R o b e r t P e a c o c k and against

J o h n C h a p p e l and futhermore a comp la in t again st a ll

those our sub jects,who l ive in Russ ia and whom youca ll

v illa in s we hav e understood , that your ma - ty’s sa id letter t o

fare to the schedule , the which schedule was wr itten b y yoursec re tary in order to imp ach them; and as in your ma - ty

s

letter there is frequent men tion made of the ir faults , we ex

poo ted that there would appear to us some grav e ofl'

ences , for

which we should have to pray your ma - ty to have mercy upon

them for our sake . Therefore we ordered our coun sel lors

to examine the sa id schedule that we might b e appr ised of

their offences ; they examined all these matters which your socretary had put together and wr itten against them and we found

no

306 JG 63 .- 1 589 m . 1 5 .

n o grav e affa irs which touched the d isturb ance o f the state o f

your ma - ty , ne ither anythin g of such matter as ought to b e

b rought to the ears of your ma - ty an d for whi ch J o h n C h a pp c l should have deserved death; there has also b een no rea

son to take from him the goods of our company, which werethen in his charge . N either was there reason to put J o h n

H o r n e b i e to the to rture on ly for his hav ing b een willingto carry his letters a b out trad e .

—A nd the great charge , whichwas wr itten in the sa id schedule aga in st J o h n C h a p p e l consisted there in that a man , R i c h a r d R a l f b y name , was inthe serv ice of the agen t of the company and wr iting to a

fr iend , wrote accord ing to his mind that the company had sen t

the sa id J o h n C h a p p e l to look in to the ir afl'

airs and to

learn well how to s p y, mean ing thereb y that he well understan ds how to find out the ir d ishonest serv ice to the ir lord s .

A n d for such in sign ifican t letters there was no reason to put a

man to death or to send him to pr ison , or to take from him

the goods of the company which were in his charge an d no t to

give them b ack .

A nd we have made it known to youb y our letters whi ch wesen t with J e r ome H o r s ey, and afterwards again in formed youthat J o h n Cha p p e l is an E ngl ishman our b orn sub ject and n o

Lub scher,and our company sen t him in to Russia to trade for

them; and your ma - ty was informed that he had your free p r iv ilege sen t to him fromMoscow to Yaro slav l and that he had

freedom to travel and to l ive and to trade in Casan ; and he

traded there without any fraud ; and when he came to Mos cow;he wished to clear himse lf from any charge , and o f his ownfree will gave himselfup to b e put to death, if any one could

pro ffer cap ital charge again st him; and when he returned to E ngland he took nuoath acco rd ing to his C hristian religion ,

that

he nev er had in his mind such a dev ice ; and he d ied here no t

hav ing lived even three mo n ths in his coun try ; and all this

for his hav ing la id in prison b y which reason his health wasimpaired and his life was shortened ; an d he d ied of grief that

he sufi'

ered such d ishonour an d such to rtures , a t the time whenhe sought honour b y his good b ehav iour and b y his b e ing will

308 JG 63 . 1589 sun . 1 5 .

a b out such a thing ; the said letter on ly pro ves tha t the sa id

A n t h o n y and P a lm e r traded toge ther a t the time when thesedeb ts were made , which are written in the schedule . A nd

as regards R o b e r t hav ing ordered the Dutch letters to b e ia

tercepted , it is customary with tradespeople , when they are

trading to envy one ano ther a b out the ir trade and we do no t

approv e this , tha t they d o it; b ut those letters were wr ittenon ly a b out trade , to giv e notice o f the wares that were to come

and we do no t understand in what this matter can afi'

ect your

state . The Dutchmen who l ive in your k ingdom have b e en

the cause o f man y losses and o f d ishonour to our merchan ts

in their trade b y the ir coming to trad e b y the passage whichthey discovered , and our merchan ts woul d no t hav e suffered

it , were i t no t for the sake o f the love and amity b etween us :as they know that we wi ll no t permit an y restrain t as long

as your ma - ty will no t take from them the ir former letters of

priv ilege , according to which they do no t pay any custom ;

whilst o ther strangers pay half the customs . A nd your ma

ty can understand that our merchan ts could shut up the pa s

sage from o thers , who trade b y this passage b ecause they foundout this passage at great cost ; and they could have shut up this

passage long ago , ifwe had no t prohib ited it b y our decree . A nd

we take care tha t the who le un iverse may knowour endeavour

to keep un altera b le lov e with youand we expect that there sha llb e a lso in future unaltera b le love without change , if only it is no ttroub led b y ev il mind ed persons , who seek their own specia l

profit and do n o t care for the honour of their sovereign and

the welfare of their country . A nd whereas your ma - ty re

quests tha t we should give order to our sub jects no t to in ter

cept this passage and no t to repel the strangers who wishto come to trade into your kingdom as well as our own sub

jects who are no t of the company of our merchan ts , that theymight come with wares for trade into your k ingdom; we are

will ing to acco rd tha t the strangers who will go for trade

with your sub jects shall no t b e hindered , for this we giv e ourword ; but with this condition that our merchan ts who haveletters of pr iv ileges should b e set apart as was written afore .

JG 63 . 1 589 sun. 1 5 . 309

A s fo r our o ther sub jects who ar e no t o f the company it b e

comes them no t to go b ecause our predecessors gav e lette rs

of privilege to tho se merchan ts and their heirs who found out

the passage, in co nsideration o f their great losses in find ing

it, and we confirmed tho se letters b y act o f parl iamen t , and

after such so lemn confirmation it is quite impossi b le to withdraw and a b o lish the sa id le tters .

A nd lastly whereas your ma - ty writes tha t you hav e

decreed with your counsellors tha t youwill no t let wax b eexported in to o ther domin ions , excep t it b e exchanged fo r

saltpetre , and gunpowder , and b r imstone , and lead ,and fo r

this reason youwrite to us tha t we should o rder our sub jec tsto b ring you the said saltpetre , an d lead , and b r imstone ; wemarv e l , there b eing such lo ve b etween us , and free trade

given to our merchan ts,tha t now a new prohib i tion is made

at the in stigation o f tho se who do n o t wish hono r to their

prince but would annull the former franchises . A nd we th inkthat yourma - ty may give o rder to the agen t of our compan y , and

accord ing to his adv ice our company shall furn ish wha t is tob e found in our country ; b ut if we order our sub jec ts to

furn ish you with such wares , as we rece ive ourselves from

foreign coun tr ies and which we keep for ourse lves , it willb e a loss for us b o th when those , fromwhomwe b uy them, come

to know that there is such a compact b etween us : they willra ise the pr ices and we shall have a grea t lo ss there in . A c

cord ing to our mind it would b e more profita b le that our

company trade in those wares and b ring them to youwithoutsuch orders ; if you think so , our company will glad ly trade

in a grea t many such wares and b ring them to your ma - ty

if they see your fav o r un to them confirmed in like mann er as

it was a t the time o f your fa ther of famous memo ry , whono t on ly o rdered no t to tak e any customs from them b ut ev en

no t to let any strangers come b y the said passage .

A nd we thank your ma - ty fo r your grea t fav o r unto them

and fo r the priv ileges and we know that you acted thus fo r

our amity sake and a t our request , and not fo r their owndeserts , and we hope tha t youwill confirm the sa id pr iv ileges,

310 JG 63.—l 589 m . 1 5 .

a t the time when our amb assador shall b e with you, in suchmanner that in future they shall not b e taken from them.

W e hav e also afo re this written in many of our letters to

your tna - ty that you give order a b out the servan ts o f ourcompany ,

who reside with the factors of our company in

Mo scow and in o ther places in the dominions of your ma - ty

as to what cred it is to b e giv en to them,tha t there should

b e no d isagreemen ts b etween our sub jects a b out de b ts and

mo n ey , as there were heretofore which often times caused

annoy ance to your ma - ty and to us ; W e write again a b out

this ma tter in our presen t letter to your ma- ty b ecause it isn eed t

ul tha t there should b e no d isagreemen t b etween our

sub jects . A nd the matter is that no cred it is to b e giv en in

Moscow to any se rvan t of the compan y who lives there withany factor o f the company without giv ing notice to the facto r

so that in all tran sactions there b e the signature in the facto r’

s

handwriting b e it in loan s or in trade afiaires , tha t the factor

of the company might know how to answer for them; an d if

any one rece iv es a loan without a b ill of the factor , or withoutthe fac to r

s signature , then the one who gave cred it to the ser

v an t must recover from the servan t himself and no t from the

merchan ts , out of their goods , o r these of their facto r . A nd

if such serv an ts of the company, who live at their fac tor’

s

should b e ordered to live in o ther towns and not in Moscow,

the fac tor must write a b out such servants to the town wherethey shall trade , and no tify that these serv an ts trade for our

company ; and this must b e registred in your ma - ty'

s treasuryor custom house in order that it may b e known to your sub jectsab out such servants and ab out the facto r

s writing in whichwriting the factor o f the company mus t state to wha t amount

the sa id servant is to b e cred ited ; and such n ames as the factor

of the company shall give to register in the b ook s , these na

mes must remain in the b ook s as long as those servants

shall n o t do any wrong. A nd if the factor find necessary to

dismiss anyone in o rd er tha t he should no t trade any mo re for

the compan y after his name had b een inscrib ed in the b ooks ,

a nd the fac to r gives info rmat io n: a b out this man ,his name is

A nd he further says tha t he has jus t cause to transfer the

rema in ing part of this de b t on W i l l i am T rum b ul l and

that W i l l i am has wherewith to pay it .

A nd n ow we heartily request you, our dearest b rother

tha t your r ight hon ora b le b ro ther in law, our most lo v

Ozor Theodore to Queen E lizab eth.

You sen t to our ma—ty , sister Queen E l i z a b e t h your em

b ossador G i l e s F l e t c h e r with your letter and with a

message . A nd we grac iously receiv ed y our amb assador G i

l e s and fa v our a b ly heard your letter , lov ing sister, and the

speeches which your amb assad o r G i l o s pronounced b efo re our

ma - ty on your b eha lf, lo v ing s ister .

A n d a b out tho se matters which your amb assador G i l e s

spok e to our mo - ty in his speech on your b eha lf, queen E l iz a b e t h , and gav e his speech in writing , we gav e order to

your amb assado r to go to our treasurer J o h n V a s s i l i e v i c h

T r o k h a n i o t e f f and to the secretary A n d r ew S t c h e l k a

l o f f; and we ord ered a decisiv e answer to al l the said speech

es to b e given and gav e a wr iting ab out them.

A nd whereas your amb as sad o r G i l e s sa id to our mo - ty

fr om you, tha t we should main ta in b etwixt us b ro therly lov esuch as our father of famous memo ry the L . E . and G . D .

J o h n V a s s i l i o v i c h of a ll Russia d id ma in tain with youwe wish to con tinue perpe tually such un changoo b le b ro therlylo ve with you, as was main tain ed b y our father of famous

memory the L . E . and G . D . J o h n V o s s i l i o v i c h o f a ll

Russia .

A nd whereas your amb assado r G i l e s spoke to our ma - ty

from you a b out your sub jects the merchan ts who trade in ourk ingdom, that we might favour them in gran ting to them our

352 N: 68. 1 589 o ne.

see b y this way ought n o t to come fo r trade into our k ingdom; and tha t it b ec omes no t you, our s ister , to v io la te the

cha rte rs o f your predecessors . G ive o rder that a ll peop le o f

your k ingd om may b e permitted to come and to have li b erty

o f trade , and le t them no t b e fo rb idden on accoun t o f the five ,

six ,or ten persons , who ha ve b een used fo r a long t ime to

come into our realm, and o rder that there should b e no o c

casion there b y to supress the trade of those merchan ts . There

is no such order in a ny k ingdom tha t merchan ts should b e

enfo rced to trad e , so tha t some should have the lib erty to

trad e and o thers should b e deprived o f it . A nd if it should

happen for the future tha t some o f your people may trad e,

and o thers sha ll b e restra in ed from trade it would appear tha t

your lo v e fo r our ma - ty is no t perfect . D o no t make pro b i

b itiou in your k ingdom fo r merchan ts o f your k ingdom

willing to come with wares into our rea lm, and order no t

to res tra in merchan ts o f all o ther k ingdoms , but le t them b e

permitted to come without hinderance in to our realm ,tha t

b ro ther ly lo ve may no t b e tran sgressed b e twixt us and you,

our lo v ing siste r . A s regards those merchan ts your sub jec tswho d isco vered the sa id way b efore an y strangers fr om

o ther k ingdoms and b efo re your o ther merchan ts , our great

fa vour has a lread y b een espec ially shown and sha ll also

in future b e shown un to them, as they ha ve a house in

our prince ly c ity o f Mo s c o w, and many houses in the

towns o f Y a r o s l a v l , an d W o l o g d a , and D v i n a and

they liv e toge ther with our people and trade in all so rts of

wa res , and it is o rdered to take from them and their goo ds

on ly half of the duty pa id b y o ther fo re ign ers . A nd n ow fo r

your sake,our lov ing s iste r

,acco rd ing to your request, we

fav oured your merchan ts ev en mo re than hereto fore , permit

ting them to go with their wor se and trade in our rea lm,in

C a z a n and A s t r a k h a n , and from A s t r a k h a n to go to

B o k h a r a and to S h e m a k h a, and to P e r s i a ; and we or

de red our new p rin c ely le tters o f priv ilege to b e given to

them. W hilst o ther merchan ts from a ll o ther k ingdoms, o c

co rd ir g to our pr in ce ly o rder , are to pay the who le o f the du

ties and are no t allowed to go through our k ingdom o f Musc o v y no t on ly to C a n o n and A s t r a k h a n

,and to ouy de

min iens b eyond the C a s p i a n s e a,b ut no t ev en anywhere

in to any o ther k ingdom were it but a mile d istan t from the

kingdom o f Mus c o v y . A nd you ought to keep in rememb rance such our favours to your merchan ts , and it is not meet

for youto give such on ord er tha t some merchants should b e

allowed to go for trade in to our realm, and o thers should no t .

F reed om of trade ought to b e given to every on e; b ecause as

our prince ly favour and our equi ta b le justice are alike to all

merchan ts, so ought traffic to b e free alike to all .

Lastly you request our mo - ty a b out J e r o m (H o r s o y)who , after he had delivered our letter to you, fo r some un

known cause , departed secretly out of your k ingdom, and a b out

whom y ou ordered your amb assado r to elucida te this matter

and to send him o v er to E ngland . W e have sent the sa id J o

r e m with your amb assado r G i l e s un to you; and J o r e m

has deserved death for his misconduct, for the practises he

used b etwixt us , great prince , and you, and for the un b eseem

ing words he spoke ab out us , great prince , and you. A nd

henceforth such v illain s are no t to come into our k ingdom

with your merchan ts , that such v illains might not cause any

disturb an ce b etwixt us , and might n o t harm the b ro therly

love b etwixt us .

A nd whereas , lady , youwro te me in your letter tha t yourh .s in tends to let pass tho se sub jects of o ther k ingdoms , whosha ll come with their wares in to the domin ions of our lord

b y the sea passage wh ich was first d iscov ered b y your sub

jects , you do so reasona b ly , lady , dec laring there b y your

lo ve to our lord his ma - ty; and I acquain ted my lord withthis (proof of) your ma - ty

’s love .

A nd whereas , lady , youwrote me in your letter tha t yourh .s would b e willing to consen t that all those your merchan ts

who might wish to come fo r trafi'

ic in to the domin ion s of our

lo rd should have lib erty o f trade , b ut that youhad b efo re this

given letters of pr iv ilege to those who first disco vered the new

passage to a ll the domin ion s o f our lord , and that now you

can no t infr inge this priv ilege . Thereb y youdo no t show, lady ,

perfect lo ve to his ma - ty , in that you wr ite that some of

the merchan ts your sub jec ts might come for trade un to the

rea lm o f our lo rd , an d o thers are n o t to come . I t is no t

the custom with you, great princes , that some merchan ts

may come and o thers may no t and that there b e no equalitygiven in trad e to merchan ts . I t would b ecome you, mo st res .

p londen t lady q . E l i z a b e t h to b e in perfect b ro therly amitywith our lo rd , and it is no t b eseeming to insist upon such on

a b out this matter to you, h is lov ing sister . A s regards your

merchan ts who were the first to d iscover the n ew passage,they are alread y more fav oured b y our lord than an y o ther

merchan ts o f a ll o ther great princes : there have b een given

to them houses in all town s , in Mo s c ow, in Y a r o s l a v l,

in V o l o g d a , and the Dwi n a ; and nowmy lord , accord ingto my prayer and en treaty ,

has granted permission to them to

go fo r trade into his k ingdom o f C o z a n an d A s t r a k h a n ,

and from A s t r a k h a n to B o k h a r a , and to S h em a k h a

and to P o r s i a , whilst merchants of o ther coun tries are no t

permitted to go through the k ingdom o f Mo s co v i a to any

place whatever , no t even if it were but one mile b eyond the

Ne 69 . 1 589 no t . 361

fron tier . S o you ought no t, lad y , to write an y mo re to our

lord ab out so un important a matter, and youought to give o r

der that your merchan ts might n o t b e hindered any more .

A nd whereas your ma - ty wr ites to me in your letter a b out

A n t h o n y Ma r s h,that I should enquire a b out him an d a b out

his cred itors and a b out what is not rea lly owing b y him. The

v il la iny of A n t h o n y Ma r s h has b een tho roughly in vestiga t

ed : he d ese rves n o t to remain in our lo rds k ingdom b ecause

o f his v illa iny, for his hav ing tak en great sums o f mo ney from

the o fficers of the treasury o f our lo rd in the n ame o f the E nglish merchants

,and for his hav ing b o rrowed man y sums from

lords and gen tlemen and divers merchan ts , giv ing b ills under

his hand for himself and for associa tes. They cred ited him

and len t money to him, and accep ted his b ills under his hand ,

giv ing cred it to his compan ions b ecause he liv ed in the E ng

lish house together with the E nglish merchants . I do no t ev en

write a b out my de b ts , howmuch money A n t h o n y owed meand howmuch he still owes me : o thers shall inform your ma

ty thereof. G od alone knows how many were my endeavours

and my in treaties a b out R o b e r t (P e a c o c k) and J e r o w

(H o r s e y) and al l their do ings . There was to b e recov ered

l i am (T rumb ul l) for wha t they had b o th b o rrowed from

the Mosco v ion merchan t A t h a n a s ius l ud i n to the amount

of roub les . A n t h o n y was ca lled to account fo r thissum b efo re his ma - ty

s ofiicers and together with R o b e r tand his company con fron ted with the sa id people o f his maty , and see ing his own hand on the sa id b ills , he acknowledged himself to b e responsi b le fo r them. A ll this inquiry and
