Vol. 10. Unit 1 1524–1526 A register of finances

A register of finances concerning the Finnish possessions of Anna Hansdotter Tott, namely the estates of Nynäs, Vik, and Lahis. The somewhat disorderly register contains notes of various kinds on incomes and expenses at the estates – or altough possibly focused only on one or two of them– as well as on their tenants.

Some examples of headings: fol. 1r: 'anno dm 1524'; fol. 6r: 'Wtgifft i wadmal 1524o ept nyars dag'; fol. 18v: '1524 Wtgifft I peniga'; fol. 21v: '1525 wpbyrd aff landboer'; fol. 33r: 'Anno dni mdxxvi o wpbyrd aff lahijs aff tawastland'; fol. 39v: 'wpbyrd i pen Anno dni 1526'.

No covers. All quires sewn together.

A financial register written in narrow folio format and not very clearly organized, and thus typical of the period. A part of a large block of records from the 16th century pertaining to the estates of Nynäs, Vik, and Lahis, which were managed as a whole. A likely place of writing is Nynäs estate, but the record could equally well have been written elsewhere.

The financial records of Nynäs and related estates came to the Swedish Crown, and later the Swedish National Archives, when the possessions and archives of Hogenskild Bielke were confiscated following his execution in 1605 (see Introduction to these descriptions).
