An inventory of Nynäs estate written after the death of Anna Hansdotter Tott. The heading on fol. 1r is damaged but mentions Henrik Klasson (Horn?) (d. 1595) and bishop Mikael Agricola (d. 1557), who probably therefore oversaw the inventory process. Dated May 1549.

XXXXXXX

A well-written inventory of Nynäs estate from 1549. Possibly related to the administration changes that took place there that year (E.g. a copy of a letter assigning Mats Olsson as the new bailiff survives from November 1549. See Stockholm, National Archives, Bielkesamlingen, 02 Adliga ätten Bielke, Nils Pedersson Bielke (†1550), Vol. 3: Godshandlingar 1546–1550 / E 1987, 6a, fol. 2.).

The inventory is 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.

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).
