[4] Dantiscus received De Schepper’s letter of 8 August 1540 on 5 October 1540 in Graudenz. At De Schepper’s request he confirms the receipt in his letter of 15 July, 1541 (cf. [Ioannes DANTISCUS] to Cornelis [DE SCHEPPER] Heilsberg (Lidzbark Warmiński), 1541-07-15, CIDTC IDL 2458⌊IDL 2458cf. [Ioannes DANTISCUS] to Cornelis [DE SCHEPPER] Heilsberg (Lidzbark Warmiński), 1541-07-15, CIDTC IDL 2458⌋). He also indicates that he answered De Schepper’s letter of 8 August, 1540 in a letter sent from Heilsberg on 10 January, 1541 (cf. [Ioannes DANTISCUS] to Cornelis [DE SCHEPPER] [Heils]berg (Lidzbark Warmiński), 1541-01-10, CIDTC IDL 2268⌊IDL 2268cf.

[6] The „Wormser Religionsgespräch” (colloquium of Worms) of 1541. This was the continuation of the „Hagenauer Religionsgespräch” of 1540. In these meetings a larger discussion between the Catholic and Protestant states of the Empire was planned. This larger discussion, the „Regensburger Religionsgespräch” (Ratisbon Colloquy) was held during the Regensburg Diet of 1541. The „Wormser Religionsgespräch” took place from 25 November 1540 untill 17 January 1541. Nicolas Perennot de Granvelle was sent to Worms by Charles V, as mediator between the Catholic and Protestant theologians.

[7] In the section of the river Scheldt (Schelde), between Oudenaarde and Ghent, the river has (had) several branches.

[8] The usual expression is merum et mistum imperium i.e. full civil and criminal jurisdiction.

[9] Eeke: older form of Dutch eik (oak). The typonym E(e)ke is derived from Germanic *aikja collective to aik „oak”.

[10] In 1515 the Lordship of Gavere was sold by Guy de Laval to Jacques I of Luxembourg, Lord of Fiennes. Under his grandson Jacques III of Luxembourg, Charles V promotes the Lordship of Gavere to a County. After the death of Jacques III of Luxemburg in 1530, the title and the County of Gavere were inherited by his eldest sister, Françoise of Luxembourg (1495-1557), widow of Jan IV van Egmond (1499-1528). In 1540 Françoise persuaded Charles V to promote the County of Gavere to a principality. (The genealogy of this branch of the Egmond family is not always very clear; Egmond-Buren is another branch of this family).

[11] Zwijnaarde was a possession of the abbots of St. Peters Abbey in Ghent. They had a manor there. In this manor Isabella of Austria, sister of Charles V and wife of Christian II, stayed after their flight from Denmark. She died there on 15 January 1526.

[12] De Schepper’s wife Elisabeth Donche was the widow of Pieter Laurijn. The Laurijn family had large holdings in the region of Watervliet.

[13] Jean Carondelet resigned from his functions as head of the Privy Council and chairman of the Council of State of the Habsburg Netherlands in 1540.

[18] The former betrothal of Anne of Cleves (then twelve year old) to Francis of Lorraine (aged ten) in 1527 was used as a ground for the annulment of the marriage of Anne and Henry VIII, in addition to the non-consummation of their union. The marriage was annulled on 9 July 1540.

[22] The poem mentioned here is considered to be lost. There exists a poem by Eustathius Knobelsdorf addressed to De Schepper, but according to editor of Knobelsdorf’s poems Jerzy Starnawski, it was certainly written only after the poet’s arrival in Paris (November 1541), as it is connected with his poetic description of Paris, cf. cf.
