Henry VIII Document Signed as King of England — Offering Cardinal Lorenzo Campeggio the See of Salisbury — Campeggio Was Appointed to Decide Henry’s Infamous Divorce Shortly After This Appointment
Rare and desirable Henry VIII document signed as King of England and France and as Defender of the Faith. Document appoints Cardinal Lorenzo of Campeggio to the See of Salisbury, which had been promised to him in 1518 and received on 2 December 1524. Shortly thereafter, Campeggio became a key player in Henry VIII’s famed divorce from Catharine of Aragon, caught in the unenviable position of having to choose between Holy Roman Emperor Charles V (and Catharine’s nephew) or Henry VIII. Upon seeking a divorce from Catharine, Henry VIII sought nullification from the Pope, who dispatched Campeggio to England to settle the matter. Under enormous pressure from both sides, Campeggio denied the divorce, which sparked Henry VIII to strip Campeggio of his title. Campeggio did however, keep his life — after the decision, the Pope gave Campeggio the castle in Dozza, Italy and Charles took Campeggio’s family under his protective wing. Supremely rare 16th century document measures 13″ x 14.75″. In very good condition with folds throughout, small holes at folds and chips along left side. Nice, bold signature by Henry VIII. Sold for $49,374.
Important Henry VIII order signed ”Henry R”, as King of England and Ireland, commanding Sir Charles Brandon to gather troops in preparation for his planned invasion of France, as part of the Italian Wars. Dated 16 September 1512, only three years into his reign, Henry VIII here takes advantage of the Pope’s ”Holy League” against France to expand his territory in the northern part of that country. To that end, he orders the mustering of troops from the counties of Carnarvon, Merioneth, and Anglesey in Wales. Its compelling text reads in part: ”…’cause asmany of thaym as bee hable men for the warre to bee sufficiently furnisshed of thaire harneys and to bee always in arredynesse to doo unto us s[e]rvice under yo[u]r ledyng…” Those who refuse are ”…to be condignely punisshed according to his or thaire demerits in example of other that wolde semblably presume toffende herafter…” Sir Brandon, to whom this order is directed, went on to become the 1st Duke of Suffolk following success in August 1513 at the Battle of the Spurs — using the men culled from this initiative. A red seal is affixed to bottom center. Single page runs 16 lines on vellum and measures 11.25″ x 6.5″. Toning, creasing and some light staining, else near fine. An important document in the early years of the Italian Wars, which raged for more than sixty years, ultimately involving most of Europe in a complex conflict that spawned wars within wars. Sold for $40,954.

Incredibly scarce vellum document from the final few months of King Edward I’s controversial reign. Edward I has been both praised and criticized by historians, the latter largely for his Edict of Expulsion in 1290, which expelled Jews from England for most of the Middle Ages, until 1656 when the edict was reversed. This document, written in Latin, is also intriguing as it grants a Bishop the right to transfer property to St. Leonard’s Hospital in York, despite a law barring clerics from holding or transferring land. Document gives Walter Langton, the Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, license to legally transfer half a bovate of land in Pykhale [Pickhill], Yorkshire to the ”master and brothers” of St. Leonard’s Hospital in York. Eleven lined vellum document is datelined Carlisle, 4 April 1307. Measures 12.25” x 8.5”. Ink notations to verso with some creasing and staining. Tears and scattered pinholes. In exceptionally well-preserved condition. Sold for $14,351.
Ferdinand and Isabella Grant Permission to Redevelop Moorish City
Ferdinand II and Isabella I, the Spanish King and Queen, official document signed. The Catholic monarchs sign this document regarding the Moorish city of Loja on 29 November 1489, in the thick of the Spanish Inquisition targeted at Spanish Muslims and Jews. The document concerns the city of Loja (called a ”flower among thorns” by Isabella), which had been captured by Christians in 1486 and, three years later, erupted in tension between different factions concerning its economic development. Ferdinand and Isabella make clear which faction they side with: ”…all the citizens who wish to build taverns and ovens, and grain mills and stamping mills in the city…in ancient buildings…” should be permitted to do so, they write. No action against them is to be taken ”…under penalty of our mercy…” Signed ”Yo el rey” and ”Yo la reyna”. Document is addressed to the judges, justices of the peace, officials, gentlemen and notables of the city of Loja. Single page measures 8.5” x 7.25”. Both royals sign with a large penwork flourish. Some ink bleeding to text and dampstaining to lower corners. In very good to near fine condition. Sold for $6,544.
