Si non procrearent liberos, parum referret, cum illorum rex Franciae iam satis haberet; et quod Delphino Franciae filia regis Portugaliae et Leonorae, sororis caesaris, daretur in coniugem, quo omnia pacta certius firmarentur. Multi multa proponunt. Quid subsequetur, exitus docebit. Parum adhuc temporis ad indutiarum exspirationem, hoc est ad primum Ianuarii diem restat. Quod si nihil interea certi concludetur, nescio quomodo ab utraque parte ulterius, nervo utrimque deficiente, erit belligerandum, praesertim rege in captivitate exsistente, qui omnibus modis cupit liberari, ferturque caesar illi dixisse, cum boni animi eum esse iuberet, quod sic eum velit tractare, quemadmodum ipse vellet tractari si apud illum in similem fortunam incidisset, verumtamen intellego bonum hunc regem non nisi valde gravate hanc captivitatem ferre, spem licet vultu simulet, qui intimo dolore non caret.

Agente hic domina duce de Alenchon libenter me illa vidisset et ego illam vicissim, sed ne qua suspicio de utrisque fieret, consulto cavimus; fuit tamen apud me Venceslaus Zaramba, qui illi servit, relictus a magnifico domino palatino Siradiensi. Ille me excusavit et mihi rursus ab ea rettulit, quod si per Gallias aliquando redirem, me omnino ad illam conferrem, habituram se aliqua verba mecum de iis rebus, quas illic dominus palatinus Siradiensis egerat. Quod pollicitus sum. Ego illi rursus significavi, quomodo Serenissima Maiestas Vestra mihi litteris suis iniunxisset, postquam huc legatus pontificis et serenissimi Hungariae etc. regis orator applicuissent, quod pariter cum illis ad hanc pacem conficiendam omnes conatus impenderem, et licet orator Hungarus Romae remanens huc non venisset, ego tamen mandatis Maiestatis Vestrae Serenissimae insistens caesarem nomine Maiestatis Vestrae modis omnibus ad concordiam ineundam cum rege christianissimo adhortatus fuissem, exponendo difficultates et discrimina, in quibus hoc potissimum tempore Respublica Christiana versaretur, et quod caesar Maiestati Vestrae Serenissimae de hac fraterna adhortatione gratias habuisset et se pacem cupere summopere asseruisset, pollicitus, se omnem daturum operam, quo universalis aliquando conficeretur. Haec etiam sic egi nomine Maiestatis Vestrae Serenissimae cum caesare. Fuit dominae duci haec sollicitudo, quam ad hanc pacem gerit Maiestas Vestra, plurimum grata, postulavitque a me, ut ubi se occasio offerret, modis omnibus huic Maiestatis Vestrae Serenissimae sancto desiderio me accommodarem. Quod post caesarem apud dominum magnum cancellarium aliquoties egi et illi desuper litteras et mandata Maiestatis Vestrae Serenissimae ostendi, qui mihi respondit: nimium tardi et segnes in agendo sumus, timeo, ne flagellum Dei ex hac somnolentia nos excitabit; res certe omnis, quantum ego coniectura consequi possum, in moram ducitur. Quid ex ea Deus futurum esse voluerit, cum magno fortassis detrimento aliquando facient periculum.

1525-11-01Hodie1525-11-01, quae est dies Omnium Sanctorum et natalis meus, cum apud caesarem cum oratoribus aliis essem antequam iret ad missam, vocato me et magno cancellario, per illum mihi referri iussit, quomodo dominus Iacobus Fugger, suae maiestatis consiliarius fidelis dilectus, multa bona in auro, cupro et aliis rebus circa fodinas montium in Hungaria habuisset, quae omnia illi per quandam iuris apparentiam vi fuissent in Hungaria ablata contra omnem aequitatem et veram iuris formam. Qua de re cum dominus Iacobus Fugger de maiestate sua multifariam esset bene meritus indignumque foret, quod eo pacto per vim illius bona diripi deberent, sua maiestas serenissimo Hingariae regi et Ferdinando, archiduci fratri suo, omnibusque in conventu imperii principibus scripsisset, ad hoc animum intenderent, ut domino Fugger bona illius omnimode restituerentur. Et cum sua maiestas de prudentia ac aequitate Maiestatis Vestrae Serenissimae plurimum confideret illamque et apud serenissimum Hungariae regem et illius regni consiliarios magnam auctoritatem habere sciret, mihi hoc idem negotium, qui hic Serenissimae Maiestatis Vestrae nomine agerem, iniungere decrevit, hortareturque me, ut hoc domini Fuggeri negotium nomine suae caesareae maiestatis magna cum diligentia Maiestati Vestrae Serenissimae commendarem rogaremque, ut intuitu suae caesareae maiestatis ac etiam, quia id ipsa aequitas expostularet Maiestas Vestra Serenissima illi apud serenissimum Hungariae regem nepotem suum et apud illos consiliarios adesse velit, quo bona sua recuperare posset et hanc suae caesareae maiestatis commendationem sibi plurimum profuisse sentiret, quod sua maiestas omnibus studiis et fraternis officiis Maiestati Vestrae Serenissimae rependere et semper referre vellet. Meque ea in re singulariter Germanice Charles V of Habsburg (*1500 – †1558), ruler of the Burgundian territories (1506-1555), King of Spain as Charles I (1516-1556), King of Naples and Sicily, King of the Romans (1519-1530), Holy Roman Emperor of the German Nation (elected 1519, crowned 1530, abdicated 1556); son of Philip I the Handsome and Joanna the Mad of Castilesua maiestasCharles V of Habsburg (*1500 – †1558), ruler of the Burgundian territories (1506-1555), King of Spain as Charles I (1516-1556), King of Naples and Sicily, King of the Romans (1519-1530), Holy Roman Emperor of the German Nation (elected 1519, crowned 1530, abdicated 1556); son of Philip I the Handsome and Joanna the Mad of Castile est allocuta his verbis: „thut das Beste.” Quapropter, Serenissime Rex, cum hoc negotium caesareae maiestati sic curae et cordi esse intellego et quod etiam dominus Iacobus Fugger aliquoties Maiestati Vestrae Serenissimae libenter inservivit et ego in servitio Serenissimae Maiestatis Vestrae ab eo non parvam benevolentiam expertus sum, humillime Maiestati Vestrae Serenissimae supplico, ut maiestas caesarea aliquid ea in re Maiestatem Vestram fecisse cognoscat: dignetur huic bono viro, sic bonis suis spoliato, ubi id opportunum cognoverit, ope et intercessione sua adesse. Rem maiestati caesareae profecto gratissimam et illi summe necessariam et qua illum perpetuo sibi devinciet factura, et ut hic dicere possem, Maiestatem Vestram Serenissimam libenter semper re ipsa maiestati caesareae gratificari solere. Haec quemadmodum mihi a maiestate caesarea scribenda sunt commissa in notitiam Maiestatis Vestrae Serenissimae deducenda existimavi.

Essent plurima alia scribenda, sed cum haec posta hac nocte hinc proficiscitur in compendium omnia conferre cogor aliquando de iis longiore volumine scripturus, quando haec tragoedia, quorsum adhuc tendet, sciri poterit.

Regis Angliae oratores adhuc hic sunt, sed male contenti sicut fere omnes alii. Evanuit hoc matrimonium, quod cum filia regis eorum fuit contractum. Dicitur, quod inter Anglos et Gallos triennales factae sint indutiae et quod inter istam desertam et Delphinum Franciae coniugium tractetur. Quicquid erit, nihil boni hinc futurum esse suspicor.

Hic adhuc ea rerum penuria, qua prius semper, laboratur, a duobus annis hic plurimis stipendium non est solutum, et credo, quod illa hoc confecit matrimonium.

Alia de levioribus, quae hic aguntur, temporis angustia et quod iam iam a me postulantur litterae, scribere vetat.
