Sigismund I to István Brodarics1 [Piotrków], [second half of January I528]2

Manuscript used: BK 220 fol. 51 r.3 Published: Acta Tomiciana X. 65-66.

The King is happy to see that Brodarics has recovered and appeared in front of him. For ad he told as a message from King John he will get a response soon together with his colleagues.

Sacra maiestas regia, Reverendissime Domine, notam habens virtutem et merita Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae, quae non solum erga serenissimum olim nepotem suum, dominum Ludovicum, Hungáriáé et Bohemiae regem, sed etiam erga maiestatem regiam suam cum Romae,4 tum vero alibi exhibuit, et indoluit ex 5 animo eius adversae valetudini, quae illi in regno suo contigerat,5 et rursus videt libentissime Dominationem Vestram Reverendissimam convaluisse et tandem huc ad se venisse. Quae autem nomine serenissimi domini regis Hungáriáé retulit, audivit et intellexit abunde omnia sua maiestas et brevi, cum paululum adhuc super his deliberaverit, Vestrae Dominationi et aliis dominis collegis6 eius respondere 10 dignabitur.

1 In the BJ manuscript we read the following note by Górski before the text: Brodericus aegritudine in itinere in Polonia correptus Leopoli substiterat et non potuit simul cum Colocensi et Verbetio ad regem venire. Convalescens tandem venit ad co/legas Petrcoviam, et regent salutavit, et hoc responsum accepit.

2 Mikotaj Nipszycz says in a letter to Prussian Prince Albrecht on 18 January 1528 that Brodarics has arrived at Piotrków. See Carolina Lanckoronska (ed.). Elementa ad fontium editiones, Tomus XLVI. Documenta ex Archivo Regiomontano in Polonium spectantia, Romae, 1979, 32.

4 Brodarics stayed in Rome between 1522-25 as an envoy of King Louis II. In this period he made arrangements in numerous cases for the Polish ruler too.

5 Frangepán and Brodarics sent a letter to Szapolyai from Lemberg on 24 November 1527. According to Logschau’s report, only Frangepán appeared in Piotrków in early December. (Compare: HHStA, Ung. Akt., Fasc. 7„ Konv. B, fol. 23-25.)
