Magnifice Domine et tanquam Fili Carissime ac Honorande. Salutem et servitiorum meorum commendationem.

Habeo negotium importans cum dominis Thardassensibus1 ex parte bonorum ecclesiae meae Quinqueecclesiensis de Selyz.1 2 Qua in re elegimus cum domino Paulo3 5 Vestram Dominationem et dominum Ioannem Zalay,4 dominum et fratrem nostrum communem pro arbitris. Qua de re plura scribo ad dominum Ioannem. Rogo, ut Vestra Dominatio pro servitiis meis velit hunc tantum laborem pro me suscipere iuxta illa, quae Vestra Dominatio a domino Ioanne accipiet. Novi nihil. Nos cum domino Colo- censi5 vadimus ad maiestatem regiam dominum nostrum clementissimum.

7 László Csulai Móré (?-around 1550) Servitor and Grand Cup-Bearer in the court of VIadislaus II. After 1526, as owner of Várpalota, he harasses all of Transdanubia. Because of this, Szapolyai besieges his castle in 1533. Marrying the widow of Lőrinc Újlaki, he acquires large estates in Pozsega. Taken captive by the Turks in 1543, he converts to Islam and dies in captivity in the Yedikule.

1 István Thardassy was captain of Márévár under Pál Bakics, but, in 1536, joined Bálint Török, a supporter of Szapolyai. Therefore Bakics had him imprisoned.
