The Serbs lead by Bosic Radio, who used to side with Crni Jovan but are now followers of Szapolyai defeated Péter Percnyi too; István May Iád died in the battle. - 2. Szapolyai s troops defeated Ferdinands army near Sárospatak; Ferdinand's army included troops of Archbishop of Esztergom Elek Thurzó, Bishop of Veszprém Tamás Szalaházy, the Palatine and other noblemen of the opposing party as well as troops from Kassa and other towns and 400 German lancers. Their camp was captured and numerous cannons were seized. - 3. The envoy of Ferenc Homonnay also confirmed all this.
