Tartalmi kivonat: | The paper investigates new sources, Western European, mainly English diplomatic reports several of which has been unknown for Hungarian scholarship, or, if known, they were not examined from this perspective. They are preserved at the National Archives of England and the British Library Manuscript Collection and they might shed light on an ardently debated thesis of the late 204 -century Hungarian historiography, i.e. the offer of Sultan Suleiman in 1521, brought forward mainly by Géza Perjés. The reports of English envoys in the Imperial court of Charles V in the early 1520s might confute die proposed hypothesis (the new Ottoman ruler demanded tribute and a free passage for his troops through die territory of the kingdom) and question the authenticity of its source background. A major asset of the reports of the envoys of the maker of Tudor policy, Cardinal Wolsey is that they make clear-cut references that the negotiations of the new Ottoman envoy commissioned in late 1520 to the court of King Louis П in Buda did not include new conditions, but the sultan wished only to confirm and prorogue the old, i.e. the 1519 truce with Hungary. The paper follows the mission of Hieronymus Baibus, an Italian at the diplomatic personnel of Jagiellonian Hungary, in 1521 to the Habsburg, Tudor and Valois courts. Balbi's diplomatic workings has not been adequately considered in Hungarian historiography, and some of his letters and political activity ranging from Bruges, Worms, Calais, London and Cologne has not been mapped so far, yet new insights can be given for the understanding of Louis II's diplomatic efforts during the stress of the siege and loss of Belgrade in 1521. The major positive result would have been, if Balbi (in the light of the loss of Belgrade and the tragic decline of the country's defence potential) had played out the trump in his hand, i.e. the Ottoman offer for passage and tribute, in order to push the Westerners, to 'press out' financial aid, yet he did not, neither in his orations, nor in his letters to or private talks with King Henry VIII or Emperor Charles V. It leads us to the conclusion that Hungarian political leadership had no such ace in hand, or, rather Suleiman's hypothetical 'new conditions' did not exist. |
