[4] Chojeński, on behalf of the king, replied to the Prussian gentry’s envoys’ gravamina, which included objections concerning the competence of the Prussian Council in terms of assigning lay and church offices (see cf.

[5] Doubtless Chojeński, Płock bishop at the time, was going to his diocese for Easter, which fell on April 1 in 1537.

[6] In October 1536 king of Denmark Christian III imprisoned the Danish and Norwegian bishops (cf. cf. Janusz Małłek, "Przyczynek do stosunków politycznych Prus Książęcych z Danią w I połowie XVI w.

In the years 1526-1531 he was staying in Gdańsk as a royal envoy.

[7] The church of the Blessed Virgin Mary stood in the village of Łąki, still in existence in the 19th century, on the right bank of the Drwęca river, about one kilometer north of Nowe Miasto Lubawskie, near the no longer existing Bratian castle. The cult of the Virgin Mary here dates back to the 14th century. According to tradition, an image of Mary appeared on the river. One of the witnesses of the revelations, the Crusader Jan (founder of Bratian castle) built a church there; in later times, it was the destination of numerous pilgrimages, until it burned down in the 19th century.

[8] The foundation may have been set up simultaneously with the construction of Bratian castle, by the grand master of the Teutonic Order in 1345-51, Henryk Dusemer (d. 1352). Resigning from leadership of the order in 1351, he spent the last year of his life at Bratian castle.

[9] As a reward for his faithful military and diplomatic service, in 1534 the king allowed Działyński to purchase the Bratian starosty with Neumarkt in the Kulm region from its previous owners, Jan Wieczfiński, Płock castellan,and his sons, and Elżbieta, daughter of Stanisław Wilkanowski.
