[1] August 24.

[3] Commanded by God, the Biblical prophet Samuel anointed first Saul and then David as kings, so Dantiscus uses the name Samuel as the symbol of a person endowing royal power with a sacral character. (cf. KOPALIŃSKI 1990 p. 1033 ⌊Kopaliński, p. 1033cf. KOPALIŃSKI 1990 p. 1033 ⌋).

[2] In October 1536 king of Denmark Christian III imprisoned the Danish and Norwegian bishops (cf. cf. MAŁŁEK 1969 Przyczynek p. 130-131 ⌊Małłek,1969, p.130-131cf. MAŁŁEK 1969 Przyczynek p. 130-131 ⌋); Dantiscus was asked to plead for the imprisoned bishops with the Polish king by bishops Ioannes Magnus, Hans Brask and Magnus Haraldsson, who had been exiled from Sweden and were staying in Gdańsk (cf. the cf. Ioannes MAGNUS, Hans BRASK & Magnus HARALDI to Ioannes DANTISCUS Gdańsk (Danzig), 1536-11-02, CIDTC IDL 1550⌊letter from the same Swedish bishops to Dantiscus, Gdańsk, November 2, 1536, orig.

[4] There are no source materials concerning this matter. Possible hypotheses include one whereby, having learned of his daughter Juana’s betrothal to Diego Gracián de Alderete on June 30, 1537, Dantiscus was withdrawing from some kind of previously undertaken preparations for a marriage for her. Though the letter from Spain informing him of the betrothal only arrived on October 7, 1537 (cf. letters cf.

Perhaps the news of Juana’s planned marriage was also contained in a letter which Dantiscus received from Johan Weze and which is only known from mentions elsewhere (Prague, May 2, 1537) (see cf.

[1] Fees for church benefices – annates – were introduced in 1316 by Pope John XXII. The beneficiary’s formal pledge to pay the annates was the necessary condition of receiving a provision bulla for the new office. Starting from the Council of Constance (1414-1418), annates from higher-ranking benefices were to be paid in two annual installments at the Apostolic Camera in Rome. The amount of annates was specified for every benefice, though information was also gathered about the actual situation of each beneficiary and analyzed at the consistory during which the provision was to be settled, and this is doubtless where Dantiscus saw a chance for reducing the fee (cf. Dudziak; further references there). Applications for a reduction to the fee seem to have been widespread at the time, as shown, for example, by the Polish episcopate’s letters to the pope in 1537 (cf. VMPL, No. DLXXX, DLXXXI, p. 520-523). See also letters of Dantiscus cf.

[2] After Emperor Charles V took and plundered Rome in 1527 the people of Florence ousted the Medicis from power in their city, but on the basis of the treaty of June 29,1529 the emeror pledged to help the Medicis regain power. In the autumn of 1529 Pope Clement VII began a siege of Florence with the help of an army composed mainly of Spaniards under the command of the prince of Orange. The siege lasted 10 months and ended on August 10, 1530 with the city’s capitulation on the terms offered by the emperor and the pope. Power in the ruined and deserted Florence was taken by Alessandro de Medici (cf. Hibbert,p. 241-243). These events coincided with Dantiscus’ appointment to the office of Chełmno bishop. Dantiscus’ predecessor Jan Konopacki died on April 23,1530, Dantiscus received the papal preconization on August 3, 1530. His ordination (September 14, 1533) was delayed for more than three years because of the diplomatic mission he was on at the time.
