Title: Medieval Marriage Alliance Between Antoine de Bailleul and Marguerite de Blondel. Manuscript on Parchment, December 23 1472
Condition: Very Good
A late 15th century Medieval Period charter, written in French, handwritten on parchment, being an original copy of the alliance of marriage between Antoine de Bailleul and Marguerite de Blondel, daughter of Jean Blondel, lord of Longvilliers, and Christine de Courteheuse. For some reason, this union bears no traces in any genealogical treatises, only that of Marguerite de Blondel with Francois de Crequy in 1473. There is a good change this marriage may have been annulled. The manuscript has been written in an elaborate script, with several detailed initials, and an elaborate signature at the end. Part of the charter has been attached with stitching.
This manuscript has been written in a 105-line format.
One massive manuscript on parchment, 101 x 67.5 cm
This manuscript is in very good shape, with some creasing and wear to the rear, having been neatly folded. Some of the ink has faded at the folds. There is some staining.
