thereby ransack the country. - 3. Brodarics should intervene for a discussion of the letter by Bishop of Block and for renunciation of an increase of annata. Reverende nobis sincere Dilecte. [1.] Rediens istic ex Urbe doctor Lucas, quern in negotio episcopatus Plocensis miseramus, narravit nobis, quantam curam et diligentiam adhibueris in ipso negotio ex ipsis labyrinthis extricando. Qua re persuadeas tibi te nobis acceptissimum factum ac 5 in eorum esse numero, quibus libenter commodare vellemus, prout hoc per omnem occasionem non praetermittimus. [2.] Ceterum quod haereat adhuc istic ipsum negotium propter auctam annatam est nobis molestissimum, praesertim cum non ignoremus eas annatas fuisse primitus ad defensionem contra infideles concessas, quam nos cum serenissimo domino nepote io nostro soli assidue sustinemus. Et proinde magis congmeret illas nobis contribui, quam eiusmodi auctionibus nos et regna nostra expilari. [3.] Postulamus a te, operam facere velis, quo litterae ipsius episcopatus Plocensis expedire permittatur iuxta praedecessorum ipsius solutionem, nam nullo modo id ferre possumus, ut maioribus oneribus graventur ecclesiae nostrae satis alioquin superque 15 gravatae. Faciet nobis rem gratissimam, quam tibi favore nostro regio curabimus referre. Datum. 23 István Brodarics to Sigismund I Rome, 22 October 1523 Manuscript nsec/: BN T. 5. föl. 24r. Published: Acta Tomiciana VI. 326-327. /. A new Pope has not been elected yet, even though the Cardinals have been in conclave since 1 October. Some suspect that they are waiting for the outcomeofthe case of the French at Milan, so the election process may last for several further months. - 2. Sigismund s letter on the Plock annata has been received. However, as long as there is no new Pope nothing can he done. He hopes Sigismund can reach an agreement at least with his cousin King Louis so that money allotted for the defence of Christianity gets to the proper place. - 3. The French are near Milan but suffer more damage than they cause. According to the Milan envoy they will soon withdraw since the French King is in the grip of a Spanish-English-German alliance.
