Quae ad nos transsumpta iurium et privilegiorum Gdańsk (Danzig, Dantiscum), city in northern Poland, on the Bay of Gdańsk at the mouth of the Vistula, on the Baltic, the biggest and wealthiest of the three Great Prussian Cities (Gdańsk, Thorn (Toruń), and Elbing (Elbląg)) with representation in the Council of Royal Prussia; a member of the Hanseatic Leaguecivitatis nostrae GedanensisGdańsk (Danzig, Dantiscum), city in northern Poland, on the Bay of Gdańsk at the mouth of the Vistula, on the Baltic, the biggest and wealthiest of the three Great Prussian Cities (Gdańsk, Thorn (Toruń), and Elbing (Elbląg)) with representation in the Council of Royal Prussia; a member of the Hanseatic League super bona nostra Pucensia Sinceritas et Fidelitates, ac Devotio Vestrae miserunt, ea legi diligenter fecimus. Neque aliud in eis reperiri potuit, nisi quod inscripta eis et obligata bona haec fuerint in summa quinque milium florenorum Hungaricalium anno millesimo quadringentesimo nonagesimo primo per divum parentem nostrum et iterum in mille per serenissimum fratrem Alexander Jagiellon (Aleksander Jagiellończyk) (*1461 – †1506), 1492-1506 Grand Duke of Lithuania, 1501-1506 King of Poland; son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of AustriaAlexandrumAlexander Jagiellon (Aleksander Jagiellończyk) (*1461 – †1506), 1492-1506 Grand Duke of Lithuania, 1501-1506 King of Poland; son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austria anno millesimo quingentesimo secundo. Quam summam, hoc est, sex milia florenorum Hungaricalium illis deberi, si modo litteris originalibus idem comprobaverint, negari non potest. Nullas praeterea summas alias in bonis istis nostris inscriptas videmus. Nam quas producunt litteras C littera signatas, eae videntur eiusmodi, ut non modo bona Pucensia, sed et omne id, quod ordinis tempore commendator Gedanensis possedit, nempe molendina, exactio telonei Pfundczoll dicti ac civitates villaeque omnes, quas eum habuisse constat, pleno iure iam ad nos redisse videatur, nulla etiam pecuniarum summa per nos persoluta.

Cum enim diserte scriptum in iis litteris habeatur, quod ipsi commendatoriam Gedanensem et officium magistri piscatoris quondam ad PuckPuczkPuck pertinens ac villam Leibe cum omnibus ipsorum civitatibus, villis, censibus, fructibus teneant usque ad summae pecuniarum, quas stipendiariis in StargardStargarthStargard, in Neuenburg (Nowe), town in northern Poland, Pomerania, on the Vistula river, 19 km N of GraudenzNoweNeuenburg (Nowe), town in northern Poland, Pomerania, on the Vistula river, 19 km N of Graudenz et aliis locis impenderunt, percepAWWO, AB, D. 70, f. 228vtionem et extenuationem, qua habita et summa extenuata dicta commendatoria et officium magistri piscatoris ad nos revertetur pleno iure, facile coniecturam ex eo facere licet, quandoquidem isti proventus commendatoriae et magistri piscatoris uberes sunt, et eos nonaginta prope iam annis perceperunt, etiamsi, quod asserere dicuntur, ducenta milia florenorum eis debita fuissent, quod tamen non credimus non percepisse modo eos iam summam istam intra tempus tam longum, sed etiam in pari et maiori summa debitores nobis remansisse.

In quibus tamen litteris illud animadvertimus, si modo earum in data erratum non est, quod sunt posteriores iis litteris, quibus cives, quibus ea bona primum inscripta fuerunt, cesserunt eis praeter consensum nostrum Gdańsk (Danzig, Dantiscum), city in northern Poland, on the Bay of Gdańsk at the mouth of the Vistula, on the Baltic, the biggest and wealthiest of the three Great Prussian Cities (Gdańsk, Thorn (Toruń), and Elbing (Elbląg)) with representation in the Council of Royal Prussia; a member of the Hanseatic Leaguecivitati GedanensiGdańsk (Danzig, Dantiscum), city in northern Poland, on the Bay of Gdańsk at the mouth of the Vistula, on the Baltic, the biggest and wealthiest of the three Great Prussian Cities (Gdańsk, Thorn (Toruń), and Elbing (Elbląg)) with representation in the Council of Royal Prussia; a member of the Hanseatic League pecunia, in qua impignorata bona fuerunt, ab ea accepta. Quattuor enim mensibus post id factum est, quam sunt illae Latinae litterae datae. Quae quo tempore datae sunt, certi illi cives in possessione bonorum Puczko fuerunt, non civitas universa, cui cessio nondum facta erat. Sed quicquid hic residet scrupuli, facile dissolvent litterae originales, aut saltem litterae, quas habent super commendatoriam, quas et ipsas produci ab eis volumus. Quibus exhibitis omnis erit procul dubio dubitatio sublata.

Committimus itaque Sinceritati et Fidelitatibus ac Devotioni Vestris, ut, quo loco et tempore visum illis fuerit, vocent iterum ad se consules Gedanenses, et eis auctoritate nostra regia mandent, ut cum originalibus litteris suis, non modo super bona nostra Pucensia, sed etiam super commendatoriae proventus, quos possident, coram vobis compareant. Quibus vos, si originales litteras produxerint, et idem in illis, quod in transsumptis, continebitur, de fisco nostro numerari per generosum Stanisław Kostka (*1487 – †1555), as a leader of the so-called nobles' party active in Royal Prussia since 1536, Kostka stood in opposition to most of the members of the Council of Royal Prussia, who wanted to maintain the autonomy of the province and a "balance of power" in terms of governance. The tension between the Prussian Subtreasurer and the Council had been increasing since the Diet in Graudenz (Grudziądz) in 1533. Kostka, connected with the royal court since his youth, was sent to Graudenz as the King's deputy and, contrary to custom, decided to take part in the proceedings. In response to such a step, the Council members stopped the meeting. Kostka accused them of hostility towards the Poles and intervened on this matter at the court. In the absence of the then Bishop of Ermland (Mauritius Ferber) it was Dantiscus who chaired the Graudenz Diet. The incident badly harmed his future relationships with Kostka; 1531-1555 Treasurer of the Prussian lands and Treasurer of Marienburg (Malbork); 1544-1545 Castellan of Elbing (Elbląg), 1545-1546 Castellan of Kulm (Chełmno); 1546-1549 Vice-Voivode of Kulm; 1546-1551 Voivode of Pomerania; 1551-1555 Voivode of Kulm (PSB 14, p. 356; Urzędnicy 5/2, p. 216; MAŁŁEK 1976, p. 119-123)Stanislaum Costka de StenbergkStanisław Kostka (*1487 – †1555), as a leader of the so-called nobles' party active in Royal Prussia since 1536, Kostka stood in opposition to most of the members of the Council of Royal Prussia, who wanted to maintain the autonomy of the province and a "balance of power" in terms of governance.
