Történelmi Tár, 1906, 343–344. 1. The Pope has arrived in Rome but has not received Brodarics in a public audience yet. However, he and Cardinal Medici have put forward Louis II’s request to him in a private interview that a legate or nuncio be sent to the Nuremberg Imperial Diet. – 2. Brodarics assures King Louis that that he could find no Pope more suitable for his purposes than Adrian. Marsupino has returned from Florence to Rome too. Now they work together on behalf of the King. – 3. He complains that he has no money and he doesn’t get any from the Fuggers in spite of

was dated 18 February 1522 (compare: Archivio di Stato di Siena, Particolari, Famiglie Senesi nr. 146). It is known from Mario Sanuto’s diary that he was in Venice on 26 April because that’s when he spoke in front of the council of the Signoria about the aid to Hungary. He got an answer on 2 May, and Sanuto says he continued his trip to Rome on 3 May. (Compare: Wenzel Gusztáv, Marino Sanuto világkrónikájának Magyarországot illető tudsításai III., Magyar Történelmi Tár XXV. 268–269.) Marsupino writes on 8 August 1522 that he was waiting for Brodarics to arrive in Rome

He has been informed about the sudden death of his envoy to Rome. Since he has nobody to conduct his business, he asks Brodarics to promote his interests in the papal court just as his envoys often represent the

T. 4. fol. 122 r–v. 1 Published: Acta Tomiciana VI. 219–220. 1. Brodarics fulfilled Sigismund’s request and approached the Pope regarding the Płock bishopric and the matter of indulgences. Sigismund will learn the Pope’s answer from a letter to be sent through Anton Fugger. – 2. He informs Sigismund that the Pope holds him in the highest esteem among all Christian rulers, and he alone is considered the refuge of Christianity and also the only support of Hungarian King Louis. – 3. He says he is happy to be available for Sigismund because he knows that by serving

(More on Anton Fugger: Götz Freiherr von Pölnitz, Anton Fugger, Bd 1–3., Tübingen, 1958–1986. On the Fuggers’ activities in Rome: Aloys Schulte, Die Fugger in Rom 1495–1523, 2 Bde, Leipzig, 1904.) Sigismund counted on the help of the Fuggers – who were influential in Rome – in settling the dispute with the Pope. His letters to Jakob Fugger and Jan Boner from the end of October demonstrate this (see: AT VI. 145–147.) Anton Fugger must have written to the Polish

He put forth Sigismund’s request to the Pope again regarding the Płock bishopric, but this time Cardinal de Grassis, who had been away before, also spoke up to the Pope in this matter. – 2. He will learn the Pope’s answer from de Grassis’ letter. The Pope cannot be dissuaded from his earlier intention, so pushing the issue further is senseless. That is, benefices of those who died in the Town are handled differently in Rome. They try to get hold of such benefices

15 Sigismund I to István Brodarics [Cracow], [February 1523] Manuscript used: BJ 6556 fol. 70r–v. 1 1. Letters of Brodarics leave him in uncertainty regarding bishoprics of Płock and Przemiśl. – 2. He asks for clarification of the situation. Should the Pope decide otherwise than he wishes, he will in no way be diverted from his purpose. Reverendissime Devote nobis Dilecte.

Neither long years nor distance made him forget their old friendship. – 2. He thanks for Brodarics’ congratulation to him for his appointment as Bishop of Przemiśl. He did not strive for it, did not even think of it. He is afraid, however, that a bishopric so near the Turks will hinder him in achieving his literary goals. – 3. He has been informed about the

Brodarics [Cracow], [around 15 May 1523] Manuscript used: BJ 6556 fol. 71r–v. 1 1. Sigismund cannot understand why matters of the bishoprics of Płock and Przemiśl take so long to settle, when the Pope does not benefit from this, but his candidates suffer considerable harm. – 2. He asks Brodarics to help his envoy to the Pope in every way since he will not allow settling the matter differently than what he had decided. Reverendissime sincere nobis Dilecte.

Cardinal Pucci fulfilled all the wishes of Sigismund; nevertheless, Brodarics himself did his utmost for success. – 2. New envoy of the King of England, Bishop of Bath has arrived. It is not known yet what suggestions he has regard 39 Sacrorum correxi ex: sacrum ing peace. Supposedly, the French King’s envoy is also on his way. – 3. He works day and night to

the matters of the bishoprics of Płock and Przemiśl. Following Brodarics’ advice, he uses a softer tone in writing to the Pope, even though he already displayed more self-control than what was suggested by his subjects in a matter in which his country and his adherents are wronged. – 2. Brodarics is asked to settle matters of the two bishoprics without further delay or difficulties; benefices of the Canon of Cracow should be sent to Opaliński. Reverende sincere nobis Dilecte.

Budapest, 1971, 559. 1. Várdai is informed that Archdean and Hungarian confessor in Rome János Lászai has been buried. Brodarics wants to recommend Imre Kálnai for the position to the Pope. He requests Várdai’s support so that the position does not fall into the hands of foreigners. – 2. He assumes, Várdai has learnt about the pact among Christian rulers reached on 5 August, which is favourable to Hungary. Reverendissime et Colendissime Domine. Post humilem commendationem.

He holds grudges for the matter has not been settled yet because of the increased sum of annata, even though this sum was designated for fight against the infidels. Thus, leaving it with the country would be more appropriate than increasing it and thereby ransack the country. – 3. Brodarics

Published: Acta Tomiciana VI. 326–327. 1. A new Pope has not been elected yet, even though the Cardinals have been in conclave since 1 October. Some suspect that they are waiting for the outcomeof the case of the French at Milan, so the election process may last for several further months. – 2. Sigismund’s letter on the Płock annata has been received. However, as long as there is no new Pope nothing can be done. He hopes Sigismund can reach an agreement at least with his cousin King Louis so that money allotted for the defence of Christianity gets to the proper place. – 3. The

the trial about the will of János Lászai and on Várdai’s duties regarding this. He suggests accepting the agreement offered, since he cannot expect a better deal: the Pauline Fathers should get their 60 forints that is due, and the 200 forints that Lászai owed them according to his will. – 2. He asks Várdai to send also the 16 forints that Kálnai borrowed for the journey home and for which Brodarics vouched. – 3. There is still no Pope; the French are stationed at Milan; the Emperor is about to intrude in France from Navarra. – 4. Kálnai is brought into his attention again.

He believes, he can report good news soon, since the new Pope Clement VII is ready to fulfil all of Sigismund’s wishes. – 2. There are no new pieces of news; the French are still in Italy; the Pope, partly due to Brodarics’ prompting, instructed three Cardinals to work on creating peace among Christian rulers, hopefully with good results.

in connection with peace, he was not a Cardinal but one of the Pope’ Chamberlains, Bernardino della Barba. The next peace envoy Cardinal Nikolaus von Schönberg set off for his round trip through Spain, France, and England only in March 1524.

concerning the Płock annata. The annata for Płock have always been 2000 ducats, and if Alexander VI or any other Pope asked for less on one or two occasions, this does not change what is due officially. On the other hand there is good news: Tomicki has been appointed Bishop of Cracow. – 2. The Pope and the Cardinals are equally inclined towards peace. However, chances are small for this to happen because the French King and his opponents stubbornly cling to their demands. Sigismund and Louis have to find other ways of protecting their countries.

1. The Sultan spreads false rumours about his preparations for a war against Persia in order to lull Hungary and Europe to sleep, while spy reports and information from Voivods of Moldova and Wallachia suggest that he wants to attack Hungary in March in alliance with the Tatars. – 2. Knowing this, Ferdinand also sent an envoy to Rome to press for the aid. Brodarics should cooperate with the Austrian envoy fully. – 3. The Pope should order Legate Cajetan de Vio to pay the money he has for repairs of Hungarian border fortresses or the soldiers’ pay before more substantial

News came from Spalato, Croatia, to Venice that the Sanjak-Bey of Bosnia sent major infantry force to besiege Klissa and he will soon follow with a major force of cavalry. According to news from Constantinople, the Turks are busy with preparations both on land and water. Pope Clement is trying

It is serious loss indeed, but more will follow, because the country’s resources are not sufficient to contain the ever strengthening Turks. – 2. 32,000 forints per year are spent on the borderland in Croatia only, even in peace time, and upholding Temesvár, Pétervárad, Szörény, and Titel, not to mention Jajca, costs enormous sums. So loosing Ostrovica is not due to negligence but to poverty. – 3. He is happy to hear that the Pope

Bari to Charles. He was deprived of it without explanation, even though it was the Emperor himself who put him into its possession. He wrote about it to Cardinal Salviati as well as to his envoy to the Emperor Johannes Dantiscus. – 2.

He himself does not know the reason; the Pope says that the relevant letter from King Louis arrived late. He would have been happy to serve the cause of peace among Christian rulers there too, and would have worked hard on setting King Francis free as
