    • Content Description
      • Fol. [1]r: Latin charter, defective.
      • Fol. [1]r-v: Middle Dutch charter related to an inheritance. Margriet, daughter of Willem van de Velde and her husband Jan van der Straten financially compensate her sister-in-law Margriet, daughter of Hughe Prijsbier. Charter was originally signed in Ghent on 5 March 1344, by aldermen Ghelnoet van Leyns, Jan van den Wallekine and Jan Colijns.
      • Fol. [1]r-[2]v: Latin charter relating to the sale of monastical estates in Arleux, Willerval and Oppy (diocese of Arras, currently France), approx. 1327. Abbot Gislebrecht III and the convent of Ename declare they have to sell these aforementioned estates due to debts accumulated by the abbey during the Franco-Flemish War (1297-1305). The estates were to be sold to the highest bidder. The bidding lasted for two years, with the eventual new owner becoming the chapter of Arras. Charter also contains a detailed listing of assets and rights sold. Defective.
