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)⌊castellani CulmensisStanisław 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.

Quod vetus proverbium, quo fortuna eodem, si favor hominum inclinat in his, quorum interest vim non habet, nihil mirum, quos enim semel imbuta testa est odorem servat diu, spes praeterea tenet animos hominum, interdum diutius, quam confert dubios, interdum etiam ig flammam vicinam dummodo non urat, curamus negligentius. Sed si rem acutiore iudicio perspicere velimus, profecto eo animum vertere deberemus, quo tempus et necessitas cogit, siquidem sapienter monet quidam tempori et necessitati esse parendum, et unde numquam fortassis, praesentis in hac fortunae mutatione animi indiciis, data est occasio. Quinimo semper inde benevolentiae ansa porrecta, quam si quos attingit haec rerum varietas arripuerunt et tenuerunt, illorum esto iudicium, fortassis salubrius esset imitari illum, qui suadebat deficiente pelle leonina assuendam esse vulpinam, ut saltim cum undique premant angustiae, a tergo minus immiBK, 230, p. 222neat malorum, cruce resumpta.
