Description:
French charter of Marie of Cleaves (1426-1487), Duchess of Orleans and wife of Charles d'Orleans, confirming that her furrier, Jean Adam, has sent various cloaks and other garments through her good friend Master Pierre Sauvage, the Duke's counselor and keeper of the seals. There is slight cropping on the right side but no loss of text.
Provenance:
Written in Blois, France and dated 5 March 1440. Marie became Duchess in late 1440 so dating is from old calendar which ran from the end of March, making this 5 March 1441 according to modern calendar. Document signed by Marie at the end of the text: "Marie par le commandement de madame la duchesse", followed by elaborate scribal signature. Purchased by Special Collections, Waldo Library form Mackus Company in July of 2005.
