semel litteras indutiarum2 omnibus conditionibus firmatas iam ad eos dederimus. Quarum exemplum etiam waywodae nostro Transsylvanensi,3 ut ipse quoque secundum contenta illarum indutias observet, dedimus.

[2.] Illud quoque Vos latere noluimus, quod adversarii indutias hactenus non observarunt, nam et castellanum nostrum de Palotha,4 tum sub publica, tum vero privatarum personarum fide ceperunt, et eundem captum sub castrum nostrum duxerunt, et ad restituendum castrum minis tormentorum, demum et ignominiosae mortis 20 coegerunt. Quod cum pro voto eorum non successisset, etiam nunc illum captum dete- nent, quam plurima etiam alia sunt, in quibus hactenus non observarunt.

Manuscript used: HHStA, Ung. Akt. Fasc. 27. Konv. D, fol. 9.

I. Informs Ferdinand that he has written to the Archbishop of Lund about Ferenc Kápolna}'. He is asking Ferdinand on behalf of landowners of the area and especially of Werbőczy to forgive them if they are com2 The armistice signed for the time of the talks in 1535 was prolonged until February 1536, because the talks did not finish within the allocated time frame. Ferdinand promised not to attack Transylvania, while Szapolyai’s troops were not allowed to harass Szeben, which was loyal to Ferdinand.
