Neque mihi deesset ob nostram a iuventa inter nos contractam familiaritatem propensio rebus Dominationis Vestrae opitulandi, verum, cum professionis meae non est eiusmodi causis sanguinem tractantibus misceri, praeterea (quod ingenue Dominationi Vestrae fateri cogor) mihi non vulgarem a multis annis conflatam amicitiam cum Tomasz Lubrański (†1537), following a dispute over property with Biechowo castellan Mikołaj Russocki, Lubrański was attacked and murdered by Russocki’s armed men (1537-05-16). The widely publicized trial concerning this murder (Lubrański was killed on his way to the Brześć diet, where he was going as a representative of the royal court) gave rise to a broad public discussion on reforming the law on homicide. Dantiscus certainly knew Tomasz Lubrański’s uncle Mikołaj (1460-1524), about whom we know that he helped his nephews in their political careers because Mikołaj Lubrański’s participation in the work of the royal chancellery coincided with Dantiscus’ active years there; 1534 Poznań chamberlain; 1535 castellan of Brześć⌊generoso domino Thoma LubranczkiTomasz Lubrański (†1537), following a dispute over property with Biechowo castellan Mikołaj Russocki, Lubrański was attacked and murdered by Russocki’s armed men (1537-05-16).
