Ad oratorem regis Hungáriáé in Urbe Romana

István Brodarics to Theodor Vafer' Rome, 11 February 1524

Manuscript used: MOL, DL 47545

The inheritance of Hungarian confessor in Rome János Lászai, 147 ducats, should be deposited in the Allo- viti bank according to the wishes of Philippus de Senis and Vincenzo Baldi.

Domine Theoderice.

Ego sum contentus, quod illa pecunia domini loannis penitenciarii1 2 Hungari, ducati videlicet centum quadraginta septem deponantur in Banco Altoviti3 iuxta voluntatem

10 Identification is not so simple because Lénárt Barlabási filled the position of Vice-Voivod in Transylvania from as early as 1501 until his death in 1525. However, Szapolyai had two Vice-Voivods after his appointment in 1510. In 1524, the other Vice-Voivod was István Tömöri.

11 János Szapolyai, Count of Szepes, Transylvanian Voivod, Hungarian King after the death of

Louis.

12 The enclosures mentioned by Louis are unknown.

1 There is no further data on Theodor Vafer, Notary of the Apostolic Chamber.

2 Hungarian confessor in Rome János Lászai died on 17 August 1523. Regarding his death see two letters by Brodarics to Transylvanian Bishop Ferenc Várdai.

’ The banking house operated by Bindo Altoviti of Florence was a leading bank in contemporary Rome. More on the banking house and Altoviti: Coriolano Blixoni, Un banchiere del rinascimento. Roma, 1935.
