Oration “Tritum est sermone” of Enea Silvio Piccolomini (January 1437, Rome). Edited and translated by Michael von Cotta-Schönberg. 7th version. (Orations of Enea Silvio Piccolomini / Pius II; 12)
Abstract
In January 1447, Enea Silvio Piccolomini, on a mission from Emperor Friedrich III to Pope Eugenius IV, requested a papal audience in which he would, on behalf of emperor, respond to a number of complaints against the emperor sent to the pope by the Regent of Hungary, Janos Hunyadi. The Hungarians demanded the return to Hungary of the Boy King Ladislaus, Saint Stephen’s Crown, and a number of cities and castles on Hungarian territory, occupied by the emperor’s troops. In his response, Piccolomini provided a well-reasoned defense of the emperor’s position.
