The First Governess of the Netherlands, Margaret of Austria

Transcriber's note: Obvious printer errors have been repaired, but spelling has not been standardized. Likely spelling errors in the French poems have not been corrected, as the consulted sources have the same.

Some Roman numerals are followed by superscript representing ancient units of weight used in the godsmith's trade:

m stands for marc
o stands for once
e stands for estelin

Number "83" was somehow left out in the (French) Inventory of Margaret's possessions.
