JAMES VI and I, King of Scotland (1567-1625) and of England (1603-1625). Document signed (as King of Scotland), granting a safe-conduct for William Chisholm (Bishop of Vaison), Linlithgow, 27 October 1595, 28 lines on one page, 390 x 280 mm , seal, silked, contemporary endorsement on verso; HENRY IV, King of France (1589-1610). Letter signed with autograph subscription ('Votre bon frere cousyn et ancyen allye Henry') to James VI, Paris, 8 February 1603, 7 lines on one page, 345 x 430 mm , addressed on verso, papered seal, silked (scorchmark from seal, repaired in outer margin); CHISHOLM, William (d. 1629). Autograph document signed, Vaison, 24 February 1623, with endorsement, 'Ane declaration of my L[or]d of Vaison', one page, folio , integral blank leaf, papered seal, silked (patches of discolouration on both leaves); and GUISE, Charles de, Cardinal of Lorraine (1524-1574). Letter signed to the Treasurer of [Mary] Queen of Scots, Reims, 23 June 1566, half page, folio , integral leaf, silked; James VI authorises 'William Chisholme, brother germane to oure Lieut. Sir James Chisholme of Cromlix to return and remain in Scotland for one year after his arrivall within oure said realme without any pane trouble molestation or danger', and Henry IV asks that the Bishop of Vaison may be favourably received in Scotland. William Chisholm's declaration refers to the settlement of a financial matter with his nephew, James Chisholm, and the Cardinal of Lorraine orders a payment to be made to the Bishop of Dunblane [i.e. William Chisholm II, uncle of William Chisholm III, Bishop of Vaison]. William Chisholm III (d. 1629), the subject of the first letter, belonged to a distinguished family of Scottish ecclesiastics. He succeeded his uncle by special papal licence as Bishop of Vaison in 1584, and an influential group of catholics in Scotland schemed to have him made a cardinal in order to represent James VI's interests at Rome. James however repudiated their efforts, and Chisholm remained at Vaison. His uncle, William Chisholm II, was, as Bishop of Dunblane, used by Mary, Queen of Scots as her envoy to the Pope to obtain leave for her marriage with Darnley in 1565, and to France in 1567 to inform the court of her marriage to Bothwell. Exiled from Scotland on her abdication, he was appointed Bishop of Vaison in 1570. (4)
