[1.] Intelleximus fratres Sancti Francisci de observantia id agere, ut loca conventualium in regno nostro et Bohemiae sibi a Sanctissimo Domino Nostro impetrarent, quasi haec sit voluntas nostra, ut ea illi potius haberent.

[2.] Postulamus a te, obstes, quominus id perficere valeant. Tantum enim abest, ut haec voluntas nostra sit, ut etiam nobis non posset esse non molestum quidquam prae ter veterem eorum ordinem in regno nostro constitutionem renovari, et praesertim nunc invalescente in dies magis circumquaque perniciosissima haeresi, ad quam retundendam magno nobis ex usu sunt ipsi fratres conventuales, praesertim venerabilis Marcus a Turri 2 commissarius et provincialis regni nostri, qui et monasteria hic sua in debitum redegit ordinem et religioni sua doctrina suaque sanctimonia plurimum conducit. Proindeque nobis et regnicolis nostris est multo gratissimus, qui si amoveri hinc deberet, magno omnino praesidio res haec ecclesiastica privaretur. Quare illum ac eius ordinem tam in regno nostro, quam etiam Bohemia consistentem patrocinio tuo etiam atque etiam commendamus.

43 István Brodarics to Sigismund I 1 Rome, 17 May 1525 Manuscript used: BN T. 6. fol. 33r–v. 2 1. He received several letters from Sigismund in recent days in which he is requested to intervene in certain affairs; he is happy to do this. – 2. He thanks for Sigismund’s intervention on his behalf with Louis II; he strives to repay Sigismund’s goodwill. – 3. According to Johannes Rudniczki’s report, the King’s request has been in part fulfilled, in part it will be put forward to the Pope tomorrow by Brodarics and Cardinal Pucci; Sigismund will be informed about the Pope’s answer promptly. – 4. The Pope is relentless in his attempts to create peace between the Emperor and the French King; Cardinal Giovanni Salviati has been ordered to stay with the Emperor as a legate; Brodarics has been sent with him. – 5. He trusts that peace can be attained; he wrote a ciphered letter about this to Bishop of Przemiśl Andrzej Krzycki; he trusts this most of all because of the noble heart of the French King with whom he negotiated not long ago and has written about it to Sigismund. If it fails there is no other way of saving Hungary than what he had already written to Sigismund [peace agreement with the Turks]; he wishes this had been done before losing Belgrade and Szörényvár, since nobody cares about the Hungarians, they all care only about themselves. – 7. All kinds of unbelievable things are being written about the German peasants’ war, but he believes that Sigismund has more information on this than he has; it is also said that the Turks will not attack Hungary this year but this is consolation only inasmuch as it gives some respite. – 8. If there is a need for intervention regarding the Duchy of Bari, he asks Sigismund to let him know; if he happens to be away from Rome, his fellow envoy Francesco Marsupino or Cardinal Lorenzo Pucci will forward letters addressed to him. Turri or Marcus de Torre, Franciscan monk born in Venice, Polish provincial. Taught theology at the Cracow University in 1519. He was confessor of Bona Sforza, so he had excellent relationship with the Polish court.
