In this and the folloving year, the Lord High Admiral served on land as well as afloat, and was continuously and very arduously employed. It was prol)bly owing to his mmy preoccupations, and to the fact that he had to provide for the transport to France of an army of thirteen thousand men i August, 1523, that he did not cruise during that summer. Sir Viilim Fitz-Villiam com- manded the main fleet of thirty-six vessels; and Anthony l"oyntz was entrusted with an inferior, yet still considerable, squadron hich cruised to the westward. Fitz-Villiam's orders were, if possible, to intercept John, Duke of Albany, who, after having been Admiral of France, had become Regent of Scotland, and who had collected in France a large force with which he intended to enter Scotland, or to inwdc England. The vice-admiral was so fortunate as to meet a Scoto-French division of twelve vessels which had on board, among other dignitaries, the Archbishop of Glasgov. He took two �- of these ships and chased the rest into 13oulogne and Dicppc, off which places he left small blockading squadrons. Vith the rest of his fleet he ravaged the French coast, took and burnt TrYport, destroyed many vessels, and captured much booty; but he retmqmd prematurely to England; and Albany, who hd recogniscd the futility of attempting to cross the sea while Fitz-hVilliam was active there, and ;vho had laid up his ships and quartered his troops ashore, no sooner learnt of the withdrawal of the vice-admiral than he quickly re-manned his vessels, scut his troops on board, and sailing with great promptitude, landed iu Scotland on September 24th. a In the same year, one I)uncau Caanpbcll, described as a Scots pirate, was, according to Holinshed, taken after a long fight by John Arundel of Cornwall. ]Peace was made with France in 159; and thenceforward for many years, fe;v naval events of sufficient importance to demand notice occurred. Ot July 16th, 15:]5, Henry Fitzroy, ])uke of Iiichmond, a uaturttl son of the king by Elizabeth t31ount, later, wife of Sir Gilbert 13aron Tailbols, was, though only about nine years of age, appointed Lord High Admiral iu supercession of ,qurrey, who � Afterwards knighted.
