We know, however, Ferdinand's letter dated 13 July, in which he makes arrangements in the case of Farkas Paksy mentioned in this letter. So Brodarics’ letter might have been written some time before, in June, 1535. 3 Autograph. 4 Anyavár. It stood on a small island surrounded by the Sár marshes in Tolna county. It belonged to Ferenc Bodó (mentioned later in the letter) and his family. The Turks conquered it in 1543. 5 Ferenc Mesztegnyői Bodó was an old familiaris of the Szapolyai family. Fie joined King John after Mohács as commander of the cavalry. He was taken prisoner in March 1528 in the battle of Szina. Since he refused to switch sides and join Ferdinand, he was imprisoned in Wiener-Neustadt, and he was never released. On Bodó, see the letter by Brodarics on 26 December 1535. 6 Tomás Lascano. 7 Farkas Paksy was Provost of Esztergom-Szentistvánvár in 1530-1536. See KollAnyi Ferenc, Esztergomi kanonokok.
