Stockdale (Toronto, 1971), 170; Ven. Cal. IV, 287; L.P. IV:iii, 2509. Many contemporary comments suggest that it was common knowledge that Henry and Anne were cohabiting. A proposal was made in the Roman consistory to warn Henry "not to cause scandal by his intimate intercourse with his lady friend" {L.P. IV:iii, 3059). Anne herself reportedly bewailed her "lost honor" during the years of waiting for a favorable papal judgment {L.P. IV:iii, 3035). Charles V received information from Rome in December of 1531 that Anne had miscarried {L.P. V, 281). In the previous month Katherine referred to her husband's having "married another woman without obtaining a divorce" {Sp. Cal. IV:ii:i, 291). On the other hand, in January of 1531 the imperial diplomat Mai wrote to the emperor saying there was "no positive proof of adultery, none having yet been produced

  here at Rome, but on the contrary several letters proving the contrary" {Sp. Cal. IV:ii:i, 8). But Mai was far from actual events in England.
