Bishop of Veszprém Márton Kecseti does not want to release Paksy, even though the prisoners from Pécs to he released in exchange are already free, hut demands the return of other estates for Paksy s release. — 2. Index Curiae Gergely Pesthény, brother-in-law of Paksy, has done much for the release of Katzianer's subordinates, it would he good to reciprocate it now. Serenissime Rex et Domine, Domine Clementissime. Post servitutis meae humillimam commendationem. [1.] Supplicaveram Vestrae Maiestati Wratislaviae pro dimissione loannis Paxy. Maiestas Vestra id graciose annuit.1 Visa hoc fecisse in aliqua parte meorum etiam 5 servitiorum ob respectum. Quod ego perpetuo conabor reservire Vestrae Maiestati. Dominus tamen Vesprimiensis1 2 nihil in hoc ad litteras Vestrae Maiestatis facere nunc voluit, licet illi captivi Quinqueecclesienses, qui pro loanne Paxy liberari debebant, sint liberi. Petit in recompensam dimissionis loannis Paxy remitti sibi nescio quae bona ecclesiae suae Vesprimiensis sub ditione serenissimi regis mei existentia. De similibus io autem quid statutum sit, Vestra Maiestas plane intelligit. Supplico igitur Vestrae Maiestati Sacrae unacum aliis consiliariis domini mei, dignetur ita committere, ut in hoc ulterior difficultas non fiat.

Indeed, Ferdinand, in his response to the legate, gave his consent to the release of János Paksy. Committet etiam Regia Maiestas, ut Johannes Paxy simul cum aliis, qui tenentur captivi Vesprimii, absque taxatione dimittantur, sed ita et tali conditione, ut e converso reddantur captivi in Quinqueecclesiensi et alibi [...] See HHStA, Ung.

Konv C, fol. 190. : Márton Kecseti (7-1551). nephew of Tamás Szalaházy, Bishop of Veszprém (1528-1549).-1 Brodarics, in a letter dated 1 June 1535, mentioned that the sister of Provost of Esztergom Farkas Paksy was the wife of Gergely Pesthény. Since here Pesthény is referred to as a relative of John, and in a later letter he is referred to as John’s brother-in-law, Farkas and János Paksy must have been brothers. 4 The army lead by Hans Katzianer suffered disastrous defeat front the Turks on 9 October 1537 near Gorian. Perhaps Pesthény contributed to the release of Habsburg mercenaries who were taken prisoner in the battle. 542
