Illud tamen unum neque ego possum tacere. Me licet ab initio fuerim Vestrae Sanctitati ita addictus, ut addi nihil posse videretur, nunc tamen ob diligentissimas intercessiones immo contentiones quoque acerrimas domini baronis pro mea promotione nomine Vestrae Sanctitatis factas, factum esse longe addictiorem et obstrictum vinc1 Louis II informed the Pope already on 20 October 1524 that Brodarics would be sent back to Rome.

Louis II dated his letter of commission on 13 February 1525 in Buda. Compare: ASV, Principi, vol. 3., fol. 36r–v. We have data that show that the treasury paid out 200 forints to Brodarics on 22 February 1525 for travel expenses (compare: Fraknói Vilmos, II. Lajos számadási könyve, Magyar Történelmi Tár (XXII.), 1877, 85.) 5  This may refer to Brodarics’ long-time protégé Archdean of Gyulafehérvár Imre Kálnai.
