5 Zerechen et uxorem et cum filio uno in possessione et domo Georgii Raydaczi infidelis nostri, qui etiam ibidem fuit interemptus.4 Ipse autem Petrus cum uxore et filio et omni thesauro suo servatur ad mandatum nostrum in castro ipsius Ioannis Zerechen Dobragosth.5 Quod vobis significare voluimus, ut sitis particeps [!] omnis consolationis nostrae. De hoc autem et omnibus aliis donis suis laudetur Dominus Deus Noster, o qui sit benedictus in saecula.

[2.] Nos sumus in itinere versus invictissimum et potentissimum Turearum imperatorem,6 nec est possibile, ut nos assequi possitis.7 Quare videtur nobis, ut maneatis Varadini in castro, nec interim istinc discedatis, donec aliquid aliud a nobis habueritis in mandatis. Has autem litteras ad Lasky dies et noctes faciatis perferri, et bene 5 valete.

Datum Chanadini die 28. Iulii 1529.

4 Péter Perényi, receiving word about the approaching Sultan, tried to flee with his family and the crown jewels from Siklós to Sárospatak, but soldiers of János Szerecsen raided them on the way in a village called Kajdacs in the Sárvíz region. See on this Zermegh János, Emlékirat a Ferdinand és János. Magyar- ország királyai között történt dolgokról = Kulcsár Péter, Krónikáink magyarul /11/2, Budapest, 2007, 151. Szapolyai told about Perényi’s capture to people in Buda who were already pro-Ferdinand and tried to use the example of the disloyal nobleman and convince them to keep their oath of loyalty to him. See HHStA, Ung. Akt., Fasc. 12. Konv A, fob 88. On the relationship of Perényi and Szapolyai more recently, see: Puskák Anett, Szapolyai János és Perényi Péter = Horváth Zita (ed.), Tanulmányok Szapolyai Jánosról és a kora újkori Erdélyről, Publicationes Universitatis Miskolciensis, Sectio Philosophica, Tom. XIII., Fasciculus 3.. Miskolc, 2008, 295-315.

6 Suleyman, who was heading for Vienna, received Szapolyai on 29 August 1529 on the plain of Mohács.

7 Brodarics and Rincon travelled to Hungary from Poland and set out 3 days earlier, on 25 July. See the letter by Piotr Tomicki to Polish King Sigismund: Dominus Rincon et dominus Brodericus episcopus Sirmiensis in Hungáriám sunt profecti accersiti per serenissimi Ioannis litteras et nuntium.
