List #2063

Ioannes DANTISCUS do Tiedemann GIESE
Wartenburg (Barczewo), 1539-01-28

Regest polski:

Dantyszek, zapoznawszy się z listami wojewody pomorskiego [Jerzego Konopackiego] do wojewody malborskiego [Jerzego Bażyńskiego] oraz do rady Gdańska, wywnioskował, że Konopacki zdradził „Kości” (Ossi) [Stanisławowi Kostce] treść rozmów prowadzonych w sprawie przechowania pieniędzy [z podatku], dzięki czemu ten uzyskał z dworu dokument umożliwiający odebranie zgromadzonej kwoty. Zdaniem Dantyszka Konopacki postąpił tak, spodziewając się w zamian przychylności dworu w swoim konflikcie z rodziną Kosów o młyn. W liście do Bażyńskiego Konopacki twierdzi, że nie znał sprawy, ponieważ pisarze miejscy nie ogłosili recesów [sejmu grudziądzkiego], w liście do rady Gdańska przyznaje natomiast, że o sprawie wiedział, nie znał jednak treści odpowiedzi króla [Zygmunta I], co nie jest prawdą. Dantyszek uważa, że jeśli miasta nie stawią oporu, państwu [tj. Prusom Królewskim] grozi ruina.

Dantyszek popiera pomysł napisania do króla. Sugeruje, aby w liście nie dążyć do zatrzymania pieniędzy do następnego sejmu [pruskiego], lecz prosić, by w czasie tegoż sejmu dokonane zostało całkowite rozliczenie.

Konopacki, twierdząc, że pieniądze z podatku powinny być przekazane królowi, ignoruje fakt, iż podatek ten uchwalono na potrzeby ziem pruskich i na ich obronę. Jest to rozumowanie charakterystyczne dla osób niebędących indygenami.

Dantyszek prosi Giesego o zachowanie poruszonych spraw w tajemnicy. Jego zdaniem pieczęć Konopackiego [pod listem do króla] nie jest niezbędna — wystarczy akceptacja Giesego, wojewody malborskiego, kasztelanów: elbląskiego {Ludwoka Mortęskiego] i gdańskiego {Achacego Cemy] oraz ewentualnie wojewody chełmińskiego [Jana Luzjańskiego]. On sam, jak pisał wcześniej, włączy się do sprawy w odpowiednim czasie.

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)⌊OssiStanisław 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.
