Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine colendissime.

Oficiosissimam servitutis meae commendationem.

Quae sint acta in causa Pucensi, ex domino Ludwig Wersfelt LudovicoLudwig Wersfelt Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra abunde cognoscere poterit. Facile fuit vincere non repugnantes. Vestra Reverendissima Dominatio cavit sibi, post principia dominus 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)castellanus ElbingensisStanisław 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.

Num autem datura esset sua maiestas Mediolanum potius cum nepte, an vero filiam cum Flandria, hominum erat diversa opinio et disputatio. Certum est caesareae maiestati ad extremum graves visas esse condiciones, pacem istam duris sibi condicionibus reique publicae Christianae causa se fecisse, bello ab hoste non ms. um(!) onon ms. um(!) tam coacta ms. u(!) aa ms. u(!) m, ut tamen liberior sua maiestas ad defendendam rem publicam Christianam esset contra Turcorum impetus, ad pacem faciendam facile adductam et ut magis sibi regem Galliae devinceret, concessisse illi de suo iure multum. Nam aut Flandriam aut Mediolanum dandum, utrumque certe magnum et quod a maiestate sua magni fit. Miserat ad Hispanos proceres in Hispaniam eos, qui de pace, quibus condicionibus facta esset, publice significassent exquisivissentque consilium, utra illis condicio probaretur magis, si aliter fieri non possit, ut his condicionibus, quibus est in foedere praescriptum, et aliter fieri non possit, daret sua maiestas Mediolanensem ducatum cum nepte sua, serenissimi Romanorum regis filia, Flandriam ut omnino sua maiestas retineret, multis et iustis de causis. Exercuit haec deliberatio sacram maiestatem suam ita, ut non deessent, qui irrita illa omnia, quae de pace essent facta, fore putarent. Principes hic omnes dolebant utrumque, homines fremebant, quod imperator paene victor passus sit adduci ad eas condiciones, optabant paene omnes, ut irrita essent omnia. Flandriam autem nullo modo dandam existimatum ab imperatore et omnibus aliis, regionem quondam Galliae partem ditissimam fortissimamque, quae si in Gallorum esset potestate, si imperator moreretur, Gallis praeberet magnam ad reliquas caesaris hic in inferiori Germania regiones Brabantiam, Olandiam, Frisiam, Geldriam, et omnes alios comitatus et ducatus occupandos occasionem, cum mortuo caesare filius rex Hispaniarum remote abesset, rex Romanorum etc. distaret, etiam tam longe exhaustus et distractus tot antehac bellis, adesse itaque non facile et tueri vix possent. Haec moverant imperatorem ipsis incolis Flandriae clamitantibus se non parituros imperio Gallorum et defensuros sanguine, quominus in eam redigantur, qua reliqui apud suos reges essent Galli. Multae aliae moverant sacram maiestatem suam causae, quominus, cum non posset aliter, Flandriam cum filia non daret. De Mediolano etiam eadem fuit deliberatio valde dubia, nam Hispanos primum doluisse imperatori carum fuisse illum ducatum propter multas in Italiam opportunitates, quod Hispani milites ex Hispania in Germaniam, ex Germania per Mediolanum liberum transitum in Germaniam habuissent essetque suo sanguine recuperatum et defensum.

Esse autem tam divitem ducatum illum, ut si princeps eius tribus annis in otio viveret, tantam facere possit pecuniam ex reditibus immensis, ut quarto integro anno bellum gerere et sustinere possit. Ad haec, quod nullus praestantior et ditior esset ducatus illo.
