79 Andrzej Krzycki to István Brodarics Esztergom, 5 December 1526 Manuscript used: BN T. 6. fol. 256r-257r.1 Published: Acta Tomiciana VIII. 274-276. 1. He resents that no reliable news came from Hungary'. — 2. First, an envoy arrived from Ferdinand and asked for help in acquiring the country, after that envoys of the ordines, who had gathered in Tokaj, asked Sigismund to send a delegation to the national assembly in Fehérvár. - 3. Meanwhil.e Szapolyai was elected King unexpectedly; the envoys went on their way after some hesitation to greet the new King and to confer on the situation of Hungary. - 4. Hungarians hate Germans so much that they would rather regard the Turks friends, so Ferdinand has little chance to win the country. - 5. Some revile the Poles' incompetence. How­ever, they have been fighting under pressure from the Russians, Moldovans, Turks, and Tatars on their own and have not lost one single castle, Hungary, on the other hand, collapsed under the first more serious attack. Revendissime Mi Domine. [1.] Scire dignetur Vestra Dominatio Reverendissima me, nescio quibus malis avi­bus, huc appulisse. Erat serenissimus rex meus praeter summum dolorem de amisso nepote2 etiam de statu huius regni, uti de vicino pariete, apprime sollicitus, urgebatur 5 a nobis, ut non deesset communi saluti, si ab his regnicolis, ut rex esset, postularetur. Id modis omnibus reluctabatur, nec Dominationes Vestrae, in quibus potissimum con­fidebamus, ullam significationem dabant, quorsum res inclinarent, ut penitus omnia ignoraremus. [2.] Supervenit interim orator3 serenissimi principis Ferdinandi auxilium ad regnum io consequendum petens. Laetata erat maiestas sua, quod is princeps munus hoc sibi suscipiendum duxerit, qui potissimum illi satisfacere et rebus labantibus succurrere possit. Mox accurrit nuntius cum litteris ex Thokai ab optimatibus et regnicolis illic congregatis,4 quibus scribebant se conventum ad consulendum de bono statu regni sui in Alba Regali instituisse,5 enixe rogantes, ut maiestas sua oratores ad ipsum conven­is tum mittere dignaretur. 11 labantibus: laborantibus HHStA 1 Further manuscripts: BN 592 fol. 215r-216v; BCzart 257 fol. 528-531; BK 225 fol. 642-645; BJ 6550 fol, 315r—316v; BCzart TN 39. fol. 271-274. A copy of Krzycki’s letter can be found also in the HHStA (HHStA, Ung. Akt. Fasc. 2. Konv. C, fol. 142-143.). Still, this publication is based on the copy kept in the Górski collection. That one is certainly the copy attached to Krzycki’s letter to Sigismund on 4 December 1526. 2 Louis II. •’ Detre Kammerer Arrived in Cracow on 31 October 1526 as a legate of Ferdinand. On Kammerer’s legation see more: JAszay, Magyar nemzet napjai... 210-222. 4 The partial national assembly in Tokaj decided for calling together the elector assembly on 17 Octo­ber 1526. 5 The national assembly convened on 10 November 1526 in Székesfehérvár. 168
