Gritti is expected in Buda; peace is taken for granted. - 2. Brodar ics is go ing to go to Pécs one of these days to handle some personal matters. - 3. They have just received word from Poland that England has a new Queen. The French King is preparing for war against the Duke of Milan again. 5. Requests Nádasdy to instruct his Constable in Huszt to allocate the salt due to Katalin, sister of Archbishop Frangepán. Magnifice Domine, uti Fili Carissime. Salutem et servitiorum meorum commendationem. [1.] Novi nihil est, nisi de adventu illustrissimi domini gubernatoris a quo loannes Zalanczy1 2 rediit. De pace non possum dubitare eam omnino futuram. 5 [2.] Ego his diebus Quinqueecclesias sum iturus, Deo volente, ob quaedam privata mea negotia.

Secretorius of the Voivod of Wallachia from 1525. Enters the service ofSzapolyai in 1529, then becomes councillor of Izabella.

The English parliament, headed by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, invalidated the marriage of Henry VI11 with Catherine of Aragon, aunt of Charles V, on 15 January 1534. Thus, the obstacle to his marriage with Anne Boleyn was removed. See Ludwig von Pastor, Geschichte der Pcipste, vol. 4, Freiburg, 1956, 514. 4 Brodarics is certainly wrong here. What’s more, the news are fairly old. The Pope did not entrust the decision to the parliament in Paris. Henry’s divorce was announced in London after a courtroom comedy in the spring of 1533. The new wife was crowned already on 1 June 1533. The reference to Paris might come from a misunderstanding related to the fact that Henry had tried to persuade the university of Paris years before through Reginald Pole to give a favourable opinion as to the legality of his planned divorce. 5 Finally, the French did not lead their army against Milan and its Duke Francesco II. Sforza. The new Spanish-French war for Milan broke out only after Sforza’s death in the spring of 1535. 6 Archbishop of Kalocsa Ferenc Frangepán. 411
