In Valladolid (Vallisoletum, Oleti vallis), city in central Spain, Castile and León, on the Pisuerga riverValle de OletoValladolid (Vallisoletum, Oleti vallis), city in central Spain, Castile and León, on the Pisuerga river litteras accepi, quas ad me Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima misit, quae quidem per dominum Felicem Sigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austriaregiae mage maiestatisSigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austria Polonicae cubicularium decima iulii mihi redditae fuerunt, quas ob amorem et singularem Vestram in me benevolentiam pro summo amicitiae pignore servo. Iam vero dici non potest, quanto gaudio elatus fuerim, cum et Dominationem Vestram incolumem et mei non omnino non immemorem esse intellexi. Summa Vestra benignitas et infinita humanitas non solum quibus de Dominatione Vestra benemeriti sunt, verum etiam ignotis, testis omnium fama, solet solet beneficiis suis opulenter subvenire. Quare ego non minima servitute Dominationi Vestrae Reverendissimae devinctus, ubi servitio meo aut quovis alio modo potero, promereri studebo.
