Feoffment of Springorum

21 July 1513 ¡ Bochum, Kirchspiel Bochum, Deutschland

Johann Schriver called Springorum is enfeoffed with the estate of Rodensel in the parish of Bochum

Before Abbot Anton, Johann Schriver from Bochum, also called Springorum, showed an official charter. It said that Anna von Eickel—first the wife of Detmar Berswort and now married to Springorum—had given up the estate of Rodensel near Bochum. She had originally received this land from her first husband as a wedding gift.

At her request, Abbot Anton then officially gave this land to Springorum to hold as a fief. Springorum promised loyalty to the abbot. Gottfried Garthaus and Heinrich Dunwald were present as witnesses.
