List #56

[Ioannes DANTISCUS] do [Samuel MACIEJOWSKI]
[Marienburg (Malbork)], [ca. 1544-09-25]

Regest polski:

Swoje stanowisko niedawno razem z kasztelanem elbląskim Stanisławem Kostką przedstawił w liście z Malborka, po tym jak zakończył działalność w komisji królewskiej do sprawy [odzyskania przez Zygmunta I] Pucka. Nie ma pomysłu, co lepszego mógłby jeszcze doradzić. Nie poruszył tej sprawy w liście do króla, gdyż ma świadomość, iż przy jego odczytaniu będzie obecny prymas [Piotr Gamrat], całkowicie oddany Constellatusowi [Johannowi von Werden]. Jeśli owe nieposłuszeństwo pozostanie bezkarne, co jego zdaniem nastąpi, będzie wolny od wielu myśli, które zdarzają mu się w sprawie interesu króla. Będą mu się zdarzały inne, kiedy zobaczy zupełnie zniweczone wśród naszych [mieszkańców Prus Królewskich] poważanie dla króla, a jeszcze bardziej dla rady koronnej, o którego stanie w ostatnich czasach adresat przekonał się sam. Jeśli zostanie ustalona łagodniejsza kara, Dantyszek opowiada się za karą 10 000 florenów. Jeśli zaś posiadanie będzie utrzymane siłą, trzeba będzie odzyskać je także siłą. Uważa, że wyznaczonych na sejm Królestwa Polskiego należy wezwać razem z Constellatusem [Werdenem], o czym napisał wcześniej do kasztelana elbląskiego [Stanisława Kostki]. Jeśli się nie stawią, trzeba będzie podjąć stosowne kroki.

Dantyszek oczekuje przyjazdu Papużki [Petera Papuschki]. Prosi, by adresat poinformował go razem z nim, jakie wiadomości dotyczącego jego krajan [gdańszczan] przywiózł poseł cesarski [Alfonso d’Aragona]. Tą drogą można się dowiedzieć wielu rzeczy, które kiedyś mogą się przydać.

Dantyszek prosi o instrukcję, co zgodnie z wolą króla ma uczynić z listem gdańszczan dotyczącym sześciu tysięcy florenów, który zostawili u niego komisarze [do sprawy odzyskania przez Zygmunta I Pucka: Jan Sokołowski, Johann von Baysen (Bażyński), Paweł Płotowski]. Zaaresztował go w imieniu króla kasztelan elbląski. W Gdańsku skarżą się na Dantyszka, że zabrał list siłą. Opinię taką upowszechniono wśród plebsu, który mu złorzeczy.

Reverendissime mi Domine.

Consilium meum cum generoso domino 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)Stanislao KostkaStanisław 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.
