Grilli is besieging Esztergom. He made peace with taski who is going to arrive with his army in a few weeks. - 2. Brodarics is going to be sent to Slavonia to the national assembly there. This is not a task without dangers but he is happy to fulfil it because this way he can meet Nádasdy to whom he has things to say confidentially; requests Nádasdy to attend the diet by all means. Magnifice Domine uti Fili Carissime et Honorandissime. Salutem et servitiorum meorum commendationem. [1.] Nunc novi nihil habemus aliud, quam quod illustris dominus gubernator oppugnat Strigonium. Dominus Lasky fuit hic et cum domino gubernatore optime concor- 5 davit, non aliter, quam prius: veniet intra paucas septimanas huc cum gentibus suis. [2.] Ego mittor [in] Slavoniam ad dietam proximam.1 Quae legatio, licet mihi esset molesta ac non s[in]e periculo, eam tamen eo libentius vel m[in]us invitus suscepi, ut possem [conjstitui et colloqui cum Vestra Dominatione, quod summopere cupio ob multas gravissimas causas, quas a me intelliget cor[a]m Deo volente. Rogo autem io ubicunque nunc est, velit ad dietam ipsam venire, poterit ibi multum illi patriae servire (de Slavonia potissimum loquor).1 2 Rogo igitur, oro, obsecro et obtestor, velit illuc venire omnino.

Fraknói does not even mention it in volume I of MOE. Perhaps it was held in Iváncs. Szaboles Varga discussed the question recently in his doctoral thesis. [Szlavónia berendezkedése a késő középkor és kora újkor halárán (1410-1540) PhD thesis, Pécs, 2008.] - 1 am indebted to Szabolcs Varga for making the manuscript available to me. 2 Brodarics was bom in Slavonia so he considered the region home soil. Worry over its fate is discernible in several of his letters. 3 Ferenc Frangcpán, Archbishop of Kalocsa. 325
