This tenant register is part of a large group of cameral documents pertaining to the landed estates of Nynäs, Vik, Kyllelä and Lahis. These four estates were owned by Anna Hogenskild, widow of Nils Pedersson Bielke who was the head of the royal chamber until his death in 1550. The bailiff in charge of the estates at this time was Mats Olsson (A copy of the letter assigning him as bailiff over the landed estates in Finland of Anna Hogenskild survives. The letter by Nils Pedersson Bielke is dated 5 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 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).
