[3] A reference to the letter of Isabella d’Aragona. In this letter, dated October 25, 1516 from Bari, the duchess promised Herberstein 1,000 Rhine florins as remuneration for arranging the marriage of her daughter to King Sigismund I (see cf.

Herberstein was handed the letter by an envoy of Duchess Isabella, Chrisostomo Colonna, who gave an identical financial promise to Dantiscus in Augsburg in December 1516 (see cf.

Two years after the duchess’s death, when Herberstein was in Cracow in February 1526 in connection with his second mission to Muscovy, he reminded Sigismund I about the promised remuneration.
