Maria van Brabant, by the grace of God, Duchess of Gelderland, and Countess of Zutphen, and all persons who will see or hear this deed being read, let them be blessed by God.
It is announced that before us and our trusted advisors many legal men from our beloved sister have gathered and unanimously sworn after careful examination, that our father Lord Jan, former Duke of Lotrijk, Brabant and Limburg – in beloved memory – who passed away 60 years ago, has sold wastes, pastures, and heath lands to the villages of Beerse, Vosselaar, Gierle Lille, Wechel and Vlimmeren which belonged to him during that time. The sale has been paid for, and a yearly hereditary tax has been paid of two Oude Groten. For the area bordered with poles, as described below.
