1538

Ut civitates omnes partium superiorum maneant in suis antiquis libertatibus et locus depositionis sit ille idem et illo modo, sicut prius fuit.

45 Censet necessarium, ut illi octo homines nationis Hungaricae, qui limites comitatuum limitare debebunt, ex nunc eligerentur, ut eo magis cessent dissidia et tumultus. Videndum tamen, si id nunc commode fieri potest propter respectum etc.10

Optat, ut bona ecclesiarum pro nunc remittantur.

Optat, ut Vestra Maiestas permittat in superioribus partibus conducere pedites ad 50 defensionem Budae, si necessitas fuerit.11

Quod Ioannes Paxy12 simul cum aliis, qui tenetur captivus Vesprimii absque taxatione dimittatur.

Quod committatur dominis Banffy de Alsolyndwa, ut non turbent magnificum Stephanum similiter Banffy, servitorem regis in bonis suis, et occupata restituant.13 55 Idem petit rex fieri de Wolf[g]ango Zemchei de Slavonia.14

Petit, ut Vestra Maiestas sit contenta commendare pontifici maximo expeditionem et confirmationem harum ecclesiarum Agriensis, Varadiensis, Transsilvaniensis, Vaciensis.15

Ut Vestra Maiestas committere velit, ne ianitores regii in Orozffalwa16 commorantes 60 impediantur per Nyary et alios. Immo potius dignetur committere, ut defendantur, et sint sub protectione Vestrae Maiestatis.

Hieronymo Adorno Papiensi, medico Vaciensis permittatur mediantibus litteris Vestrae Maiestatis, ut possit permanere in servitiis Vaciensis et Stephani Werbewczy cancellarii.

65 Ut primus, qui violavit indutias, puniatur poena illa, quam ego non possum scribere,

10 Ferdinand promised to appoint the commissioners as soon as possible, (see: HHStA, Ung. Akt. Fasc. 35. Konv. C, fol. 189v.). Establishment of county borders was important in order to avoid disputes on legal authority such as those that arose in the spring of 1538 in Hont county.

11 Ferdinand permitted recruitment indeed. See his letter to Thurzó: HHStA, Ung. Akt. Fasc. 36. Konv. B, fol. 4.

12 János Paksy was held captive by Bishop of Veszprém Márton Kecseti. His release is a recurrent topic in letters in 1538.

13 When János Alsólindvai Bánffy died in 1534, his son, István, who was had been born in 1522, was still underage, so his widow Margit Székely of Kevend lead the family. István was Contes of Zala county in 1548, Dapifer in 1562, Index Curiae in 1567. On the family more recently, see: Tantaucs Béla, A Banffy család szellemi hagyatéka, Lenti, 2009.

14 Farkas Szemesei and his brother Mihály, unlike their third brother Vice-Ban of Körös, György Szemesei, supported John. So György applied to Ferdinand in 1528 for the parts of their estates that belonged to his brothers. (See Emilij Laszowski (ed.). Monumenta Hahshurgica regni Croatiae, Dalmatiae, Slavo- niae Vol. /., Zagreb, 1914, 125.) It seems that ten years later the conflict over the estates was still unresolved.

15 Ferdinand promised to intercede with the Pope for Ferenc Frangepán, György Fráter, János Statileo and Brodarics to be raised to Bishops of Eger, Várad, Transylvania and Vác, respectively. See HHStA, Ung. Akt. Fasc. 35. Konv. C, fol. 190r.
