Jacques de la Brosse
Jacques de la Brosse, (c. 1485–1562), cupbearer to the king, was a sixteenth-century French soldier and diplomat. He is remembered in Scotland for his missions in 1543 and 1560 in support of the Auld Alliance.
==Mission of 1543==
After the death of James V, Scotland was ruled by Regent Arran. His regency was challenged by David Beaton and Matthew Stewart, 4th Earl of Lennox. Lennox even threw doubt on Arran’s legitimacy. His grounds were the complex legal circumstances of Arran's father’s second marriage. Into this troubled situation Francis I of France sent a diplomatic mission and military aid to support the alliance between France and Scotland. The Auld Alliance was threatened by an agreement, the Treaty of Greenwich, which would lead to Mary, Queen of Scots marrying Prince Edward. The French envoys, Jacques de la Brosse, with his colleague, the lawyer, Jacques Ménage, seigneur de Caigny, and the Papal Legate Marco Grimani, Patriarch of Aquileia, brought money and munitions to Dumbarton Castle on 6 October 1543, and unwittingly delivered them to Lennox.〔Dickinson, Gladys, ed.,'' Two Missions of de la Brosse'', Scottish History Society (1942), 3-9.〕 According to the later narratives of Claude Nau and John Lesley, they arrived in 5 ships with 60,000 crowns. Nau and Lesley wrongly give the name of the legate as the nuncio, Pierre Francis Contareni, Patriarch of Venice, but mention another colleague, 'James Anort', meaning James Stewart.〔Stevenson, Joseph, ed., ''The History of Mary Stewart by Claude Nau'', Edinburgh (1883), 333: Cody ed., ''Leslie's History of Scotland'', vol. 2, STS, (1895), 270-271.〕 There were seven ships and James Stewart of Cardonald, a Scots Guard officer who escorted La Brosse and Ménage, told Beaton that the envoys were, "na grett personages" who had brought, "sellvar and artellyery monesyzonis pekes and halberdes."〔Sanderson, Margaret HB., ''Cardinal Beaton'', John Donald (1986), 194: Cameron, Annie, ed., ''Scottish Correspondence of Mary of Lorraine'', SHS (1927), 34.〕
La Brosse and Ménage then met with Arran, Mary of Guise, and Beaton, mostly at the Palace of Stirling Castle. On 24 November 1543, they sent a report of their mission to Francis I of France with 23 articles detailing what they had seen, heard and resolved.〔Dickinson (1942), 47.〕 Much of this concerns the activities of Lennox, who was to be humoured in his ambition to marry Mary of Guise.〔Dickinson, (1942), 39.〕 La Brosse and Ménage undertook to search the registers of the Scottish Parliament in order to find a loophole to invalidate the Treaty of Greenwich.〔Dickinson, (1942), 43.〕 Ralph Sadler, the English ambassador, has no comment on these proceedings, he had taken refuge at Tantallon Castle and Arran sought his expulsion from Scotland.〔''State Papers Henry VIII'', vol. 5 part 4 (1836), 348-350: cf. ''Letters and Papers Henry VIII''.〕 Mary of Guise's mother, Antoinette de Bourbon recommended he should become the tutor of Mary's son, Francis, Duke of Longueville.〔Wood, Marguerite, ''Balcarres Papers'', vol. 1 (1923), 113-114 and note.〕 Jacques was still in Scotland in December 1545, and left on Scottish business to meet Francis I at Saint-Germains in February 1546. Jacques said Antoinette was there, with nothing to occupy her except hunting and designing buildings.〔Cameron, Anne, ''The Scottish Correspondence of Mary of Lorraine'', SHS (1927), 159 and note: ''Balcarres Papers'', vol. 1 (1923), 124.〕
