Text originalOriginal text
Wladislaus Rex ad preces Nuntii apostolici absidionem Brodniczae solvit, vi morbi in exercitu grassante, commeatusque penuria admonitus, Constantiense Concolium indicitur. [...] Serpsit et aliud in castra sua ex mora diuturna in loco uno malum. Omnium siquidem victualium, carnis praecipue, exercitus suus regius habens abundantiam, panis egestate et penuria nimia angebatur: ex quo dysenteriae pestis coorta, plures mortales aut extenuavit, aut extinxit; a defectu quoque panis, brevi tempore interveniente, expeditio praefata, gamelica a Polonis eppelloctur, Pestilens quoque morbus, sanguinis profluvio concretus et a penuria panis concitatus, universa castra Regis pervaserat.
