Reverendissimo in Christo stain[o]o stain patri et domino, domino Iohanni Dei gratia episcopo Culmensi ac dioecesis Pomezaniensis administratori, domino et patrono semper gratiosissimo

AAWO, AB, D. 67, f. 204r

Reverendissime in Christo pater et domine, domine semper gratiosissime. Post obsequiorum meorum indefessam promptitudinem.

Optat Reverendissima Vestra Dominatio negotium Kulborn omni ex parte scriptis a me enodari. Ita se res habet. Kulborn huius arcis est, ut omnes insulani testantur et ex Marienburgensium officialium consensu usus ad Cristburgk admittebatur. Nunc magnificus dominus castellanus Gdanensis nec piscibus contentus, sed et silvas circumiacentes sibi vindicat, cum tamen villa Kulborn extra Cristburgenses limites fere ad miliare sita sicque factum, cum nuper Cracoviae apud regiam maiestatem, dominum meum clementissimum, egissem, eius maiestas s(erenissima) or s(acra)s(erenissima)s(erenissima) or s(acra) hinc inde negotia officii mei perscrutata, deinde ad controversias domini castellani Gdanensis deventum ac villae Kulborn mentio sese ingessit, iussit eius maiestas s(erenissima) or s(acra)s(erenissima)s(erenissima) or s(acra), ut eandem villam Kulborn ad arcem Marienburgensem acciperem ac huic rei praeessem, ne bonis Cristburgk, quae alioquin hereditaria, incorporaretur, et si eius magnificentia quidquam iuris praetenderet, de eo apud eius maiestatem s(erenissimam) or s(acram)s(erenissimam)s(erenissimam) or s(acram) ageret. Nihilominus tamen in cancellaria, ut haec res perlustraretur, commisit, nihil praeter Cristburgensem privilegium inventum, de quo cum eius maiestas s(erenissima) or s(acra)s(erenissima)s(erenissima) or s(acra) edocta, mihi copiam dare iussit. Cuius privilegii copiam et Reverendissimae Vestrae Dominationi praesentibus transmitto, ubi Reverendissima Vestra Dominatio pro summa eius prudentia perpendere potest, quid iuris eius magnificentia habeat allegare, cum Kulborn nulla fit mentio, nisi clausula illa, qualicumque inter generalia, eius magnificentia gaudeat, quae dicit cum contributionibus piscium ex villa Kylenbilen, cum tamen ea villa ne ab aliquo hominum eo nomine nuncupata, tum et generalia privilegiorum ultra sp(eci)alium concessionem se extendere non possunt. Nam in enarratione sp(eci)alium, videlicet Krispurgk villarum, Posolia, Altemargk etc., Kulborn nec meminitur nec umquam summa in ea inscripta written over ususaa written over us fuit nec inter Cristburgenses limites sita etc., quae omnia Reverendissimae Vestrae Dominationis eximiae prudentiae perpendenda committo nec mea refert, si eius magnificentia eam villam apud regiam maiestatem obtinebit, ego officialis munus pro eius maiestatis s(erenissimae) or s(acrae)s(erenissimae)s(erenissimae) or s(acrae) iussis ago. Nam eius maiestas s(erenissima) or s(acra)s(erenissima)s(erenissima) or s(acra) vult, ut ius de et super eadem villa eius magnificentia producat, quae tamen omnia Reverendissima Vestra Dominatio ita, credo, prout eandem commodis regiis semper omnibus viribus studuisse constat, ne tamen eius magnificentia me iussis s(erenissimae) or s(acrae)s(erenissimae)s(erenissimae) or s(acrae) regiae maiestatis id agere resciat. Nihilominus id iudicio Reverendissimae Vestrae Dominationis confero, sive resciat, sive onus scapulis meis imponat, susque deque feram, saltem Reverendissimam Vestram Dominationem precor, ut apud eandem efficiam, ut omnis suspicionis sim alienus, ne proprio Marte id negotium aggredi suspicer. Nam ita me Reverendissimae Vestrae Dominationi dedo, si quid illicite me attentare aut errare, cui homines subiecti, acceperit, mihi de inceptis mandare dignetur, ego pro iussis Reverendissimae Vestrae Dominationis desistam ac in hoc negotio, quidquid Reverendissimae Vestrae Dominationi visum fuerit, agam, saltem, ut regia maiestas, dominus meus clementissimus, me officialis munus agere resciat. Quibus me Reverendissimae Vestrae Dominationi, uti unico meo patrono, obsequiis meis perpetuis ex animo commendo. Quam bene feliciterque valere nobis omnibus solamini cupio.

Eiusdem Reverendissimae Vestrae D(ominationi) or D(ominationis)D(ominationi)D(ominationi) or D(ominationis) obsequentissimus 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)Stanislaus Kostka de StangenbergStanisław 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.
