Description:
|
A French charter of Charles the Bold (1433-1477), last reigning Duke of Burgundy, granting a pension to his faithful vassal Ranlequin de Fontaines for wounds he received during military service. The military service probably included Charles' 1475 campaign in Lorraine. The document is signed by Charles and several of his important advisers including the Bishop of Tournai. Other names mentioned include: Master Pierre Bogart, Jehan Ondart, and J. Gros.

Provenance:
|
Written in Nancy, Duchy of Lorraine (Lothaire), modern day France in 1475. Document must have been written shortly after Charles' capture of Nancy in 1475, which he promptly lost to Rene II, Duke of Lorraine in 1476. The text reads: donne en notre ville de nanc….†(the rest of the word is cropped, but most likely refers to Nancy). "Copie" written in the same hand along the top; faded pencil inscription along the bottom; scribal inscription, in less formal hand just below text, "Ceste copie a este collotionne aux lesd. Originals par moy" followed by elaborate signature. Purchased by Special Collections, Waldo Library from Mackus Company, Fairlawn Ohio, in July of 2005.
