István Brodarics to Elek Thurzó (?)' [Várad?],2 [Spring of 1537]3

Manuscript used: HHStA, Ung. Akt. Fasc. 33. Konv. B, föl. 212.4

Brodarics informs Thurzó that he has consulted king John on some confidential matters. Requests Thurzó to inform Ferdinand as well.

Magnifice Domine.

Heri fui apud maiestatem regiam.5 Locutus sum cum maiestate sua de quibusdam negotiis, quae nollem, quod pervenirent ad aures cuiusquam.6 Rogo igitur Vestram Magnificentiam, velit de hoc maiestatem suam7 admonere primo suo ad maiestatem s regiam aditu, ut maiestas sua faciat haec ob bonas causas.

Et Dominatio Vestra mihi hanc schedam remittere velit obsignatam.

Vestrae Dominationis deditissimus Sirmiensis

1 The little slip of paper has been preserved as an attachment to an also undated letter of Matthias Loboczky, preserved as a draft (the name in it is Martin, incorrectly). The paper has neither date nor addressee, but the text suggests Elek Thurzó, because Brodarics sends word to Ferdinand by him.

2 It may have been written in Várad, because Brodarics says that he has talked to Szapolyai, and his court usually stayed in Várad.

3 The letter has no date. In the HHSta it has been filed among documents from December 1537. Brodarics signed it as Bishop of Pécs and Szerém, but front May 1537 on he used the title Bishop of Vác only, so it was probably produced in the spring of 1537, sometime in March or April.

4 Autograph.

5 János Szapolyai.

6 May be a reference to the peace talks to be restarted with Ferdinand. These began in June 1537 in Körmöcbánya. Brodarics got a salvus conductus there from Ferdinand on 15 May.

7 Ferdinand 1.
