Now we must say where matters stand, so that everyone may know what our prospects look like, which kings and countries are ready to protect the faith and which remain indifferent. If the Hungarians receive support they will make ever effort to attack the Turks with all they might. The Germans promise an army of 42,000 men, and 6,000 are pledged from Burgundy. In Italy (with the exception of the Venetians and the Genoese), the clergy will contribute a tenth and the laity a thirtieth of their income, and the Jews a twentieth of their total worth. With these funds we canmaintain a fleet. King Juan of Aragon promises to do the same. The Ragusans will furnish two galleys, the Rhodians four. The princes and their ambassadors have solemnly sworn to provide this much for certain. The Venetians, though they have made no public promises, surely cannot fail us once they see the crusade actually under way; the possibilty that they might be judged lesser men than their forebears is something they will never allow. We can say the same of France, Castile, and Portugal. England, now racked with civil war, holds out no hope, nor does Scotland, lying as it does in the farthest reaches of the ocean. '''Denmark, Sweden, and Norway are also too remote to send soldiers and they have no money to contribute, for they live on fish alone.'''The Poles, whose moldavian territories border on the Turks, will not dare to let down their own cause. We can hire the Bohemians; they will not fight beyond their borders unless someone else pays. This is how matters lie in Christendom. | Now we must say where matters stand, so that everyone may know what our prospects look like, which kings and countries are ready to protect the faith and which remain indifferent.

Pius II (1405-1464, pave fra 1458), Commentarii rerum memorabilium
Driver til Norge [mens han ennå het Aeanas Silvius, og sendebud for kardinal til Skottland, ca. 1435?]
Ubi navem ingressus dum Scotiam petit, in Norvegiam propellitur duabus maximis iactatus tempestatibus, quarum altera quattuordecim horas mortis metum incussit, altera duabus noctibus et una die navim concussit atque in fundo perfregit; adeoque in Oceanum et septentrionem navis excurrit ut nulla iam caeli signa nautae cognoscentes spem omnem salutis amitterent...
After crossing the Channel [from England] again, he went to the town of Bruges and thence to Sluys, the busiest port in the west. There he took ship for Scotland; but he was driven to Norway by two violent gales, one of which kept them in fear of their lives for fourteen hours. The other pounded the ship for two nights and a day; it sprang a leak and was carried so far north into the open sea that the sailors, who could no longer recognize the constellations, abandoned all hope. But divine mercy came to their aid, raising north winds which drove the vessel back toward land. Finally, on the twelfth day, they raised the coast of Scotland.
