The Serbs lead by Basic Radio, who used to side with Crni Jovan but now are followers of Szapolyai, defeated Péter Perényi too; István May Iád died in the battle. - 2. Szapolyai s troops defeated Ferdinand's army near Sárospatak: Ferdinand's army included troops of Archbishop of Eszergom Elek Thurzó, Bishop of Veszprém Tamás Szalaházv, the Palatine and other noblemen of the opposing party as well as troops of 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. Jakab Tornallyai received news that the 800 cavalrymen of Péter P erényi were defeated, May Iád and Ferenc Erdélyi were beheaded. Supposedly, Bishop of Zagreb and János Bctnffy, together with county armies loyal to Szapolyai also defeated Ferdinand's troops.
