The brother of this Claes, Johan von Pelden named Cloudt or Goswijn, is mentioned in a letter of indemnification of 1385. See Enclosure No. 4, whereby Godert van den Colc and Godeken Wijncken pledge to indemnify this Goswijn v. Pelden named Cluyt for 32 good old golden shields; and in another promissory note of 1385, (See Enclosure No. 5.) whereby the Knight Wilhelm de Roede van Gent and Goswijn Spede von Langevelt pledged to owe said Goswijn, or Johan, von Pelden named Cluyt for 60 old shields, coin of the Empire, or of the King of France, made of gold, and of full weight, according to a letter jointly sealed by Jonker Arnt van Gutterswijck and Bernt von Wevort. In said IOU one does not find [the amount of the debt]; in all promissory notes and letters of indemnification, appears a promise, testified in public by oath, to present one's self, in case of nonpayment, at an inn of a town mentioned and to be willing to pay. Besides, there also was appended the strange clause to the effect that it would be left to Cloudt to put them into the kank. That means into the pillory.
This Goswijn or Johann had married Feyen Schenck, daughter of Johan Schencken, according to a marriage contract of 1390. See Enclosure No. 6. That is the oldest marriage contract to be found in these archives. Cluyt sealed this marriage contract only with a fess in the coat of arms, without helmet. The mother of said Feyen Schenck is not known. In Germany there are several families of the name of von Schenck, just as there are several families of the names Marschal, Marschalk, and Truchess without being related to each other. Also, they all bear different coats of arms. The names of Schenck, Marschall and Truchsess are names originating from hereditary offices and offices at court that these families held. Feyen Schenck, introduced here, is descended from the old Schenck zu Nydeggen family, who had possessed landed estates at the Lower Rhine. However, there at least, they probably have died out. They bear in their coat of arms in a black field, a crowned silver lion prepared for a strike and with stretched out tongue. On the crowned helmet is the lion. The coverings of the helmet are in black and silver.
Enclosure No. 7 of 1408 and the document of 1416, (See Enclosure No. 8.) show that this Goswijn had left three children: Friedrich, Hadwig, and Rotger. 116 275
That this Claes was enfeoffed with the estate van Pelden with which, after all, his brother, Johan, who evidently had three children, had been invested, and that to Johan's wife, Fijen, the usufruct had been reserved, can be explained thus. 116 276
