- Later inscriptions identifying the manuscript., Housed behind glass in a modern, wooden frame (245 x 345) visible on one side only; dealer's prospectus on back., Fifteenth-century, 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. For complete transcription and translation of this document see bibliographic file., Burgundian Bastard (cursiva media/libraria) script, and Written in Nancy, Duchy of Lorraine (Lothaire), modern day France in 1475.
