Due to his loyalty to his Queen, he followed his mistress to faraway lands; even though he has everything he needs on foreign land, he misses his homeland and friends. Now he has learnt that there will be peace talks between the two kings in Óvár, and Brodarics will be present. He is sending his pro visor János Czeglédi to Brodarics and requests Brodarics to help Czeglédi, who is attending to his business. Quae causa fuerit, quod iam fere a quinquennio' nihil scripserim, arbitror te ipsum cogitare. Temporum scilicet varietas et partium dissensio mutuaque digladiatio. Utinam his malis Deus iam ex alto prospiceret! Mea in reginam meam fides et susceptum officium me coegit, ut eam hucusque sequerer, et a patriae meae limitibus tam procul abessem. Ubi, 5 quamvis ex clementia Dei et munificentia principis mei nihil mihi desit, deesse tamen videntur patria, fratres, domini et amici mei. Quorum me tenet non parvum desiderium. Quia autem intelligam nunc pacem Hungáriáé in Owar2 principibus consentientibus tractari, et te esse ex arbitris unum, cuius prudentia ea tractetur, nonnulla loannes Cze- gledinus, provisor meus tibi meo nomine referet.3 Rogo, velis illi fidem praestare, et io res meas, si necessitas ita exegerit, et curae habere et iuvare, et in illis ipsi esse adiu- mento statumque meum defendere.

He has received the teher from Oláh thal János Czeglédi delivered. Since he has been on friendly terms with Oláh for a long time, the latter need not even ask. he will do everything he can for Oláh. - 2. Unfortu- 1 1 According to our present knowledge. Oláh wrote a letter to Brodarics on 2 February 1533. Before that there seems to be a longer intermission in their correspondence, 3, not 5 years passed between the last letter in 1530 and the first in 1533.- There were peace talks in early 1533 in Ovár between representatives of Ferdinand Habsburg and Szapolyai. ■’ See the letter by Oláh to János Czeglédi dated also 18 February: Ipolyi Arnold, Oláh Miklós levelezése... 296-300. 353
