Brodarics gives a detailed account of the child King's marching in to Buda and participants of the procession to Taddeo dei Lardi three days after the coronation of Lou is II.

Reverendissime Domine, Patrone Colendissime.

Cum illas primas litteras3 iam conscripsissem, neque nuntius adesset, per quem mitti possent, libuit illa quoque, quae post subsecuta sunt, in his perstringere, ut Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima, quam scio alioquin haec omnia compertissima habere, ex lit- 5 teris meis universam rei gestae seriem cognosceret.4

Triduo post illam auspicatissimam coronationem interiecto regia maiestas Budam rediit,5 prius per dominum palatinum6 et comitem Scepusiensem7 corona in arcem Visegrádi relata.8 Novus regulus ingrediens hac pompa et hoc honore exceptus, nam praelati et alii, qui prius Budam venerant, omnes obviam regulo processerunt. Ordo io introitus fuit: primo equites levis armaturae vestri Agriensis et domini cardinalis Strigoniensis,9 post deinde armigeri. Subsecuti praeterea varii diversorum principum
