History

On September 18, 1560 designated Bishop of Agria (Eger), Anthony Verantius writes ( Antal Verancsics ) to Emperor Charles V on the vulnerable situation of Putnok, which was attacked along with the castle Gedew in the former days several times by the Turks, would because of they conquered castle Fylek and thus created land corridor represent a great danger for the whole area, including Agria. If the Emperor does not soon let deeds follow, for example by keeping the versehe in the neighborhood entrenched Mr. Bebek with pay for hundreds of riders, this area will have major doubts about the deeds of the emperor and slide into further uncertainty.
