The Pope must have heard about the ill-fated battle; he can leant from Baron Buigio, who was or were responsible for the thoughtless advice that made them enter into the battle. - 2. Brodarics would have decided differently about his own fate if he saw any hope that he can be of service to the Holy Seat or his country: Baron Buigio will inform the Pope what he is going to do. - 3. He hopes the Pope will appreciate Baron Burgio s efforts, and, together with the College of Cardinals, will take pity on the fate that fell on him with the cessation of his mission. - 4. His Holiness will be visited soon by Provost of Óbuda János Statileo, cousin of former Ban of Croatia and Bishop of Veszprém Péter Beriszló. He asks the Pape to welcome him in view of his unde's merit, if nothing else. Sanctissime Pater, Domine Clementissime.

He represented his master as an envoy on the Pozsony diéta in December 1526 where the Archduke was elected King. 3 Erasmus von Dornberg (7-1529), like Zelking, councillor and chamberlain of Ferdinand. He was present at the diéta in Pozsony in December 1526. There is a widespread belief in the literature that he was a member of the advisory body of Queen Maria, but he was not.
