Triduo post illam auspicatissimam coronationem interiecto regia maiestas Budam rediit, 5 prius per dominum palatinum 6 et comitem Scepusiensem 7 corona in arcem Visegradi relata. 8 Novus regulus ingrediens hac pompa et hoc honore exceptus, nam praelati et alii, qui prius Budam venerant, omnes obviam regulo processerunt. Ordo introitus fuit: primo equites levis armaturae vestri Agriensis et domini cardinalis Strigoniensis, 9 post deinde armigeri.

exercituli equis, armis, vestibus, auro, argento, phaleris preciosissimis ornati. Secuta post hos est omnis generis fratrum et scholarium ac presbiterorum processio. Campanis interea undique per omnes turres sonantibus, bombardis in theatro arcis et pixidibus innumeris emissis, tubis, tibiis et ceteris huiusmodi musicorum generibus circumstrepentibus et universa civitate ad spectandum effusa. Post illam, quam dixi, processionem ibant barones et iuniores et seniores. Deinde praelati omnes pedites. Post hos portabatur velum auratum, sub quo puer regius, immo rex novus, laetus, hilaris atque omnibus arridens in ulnis domini marchionis 10 ferebatur. Domino patriarcha 11 sollemniter habitu cardineo accincto sub eodem velo novum regem comitante, quasi loco patris ibi constituto. Nam rex senior 12 per aliam portam paucis admodum comitantibus, sine ulla pompa fuerat urbem ingressus, ac recta in arcem profectus. Hic fuit introductionis ordo. Tandem infans fuit in aedem Divae Virginis 13 portatus et ibi Virgini et Filio eius devote ac sollemniter oblatus, postremo in arcem ductus.
