First Dutch edition of the decision taken by the Reichstag, the meeting of the Counts of the Holy Roman Empire at Regensburg, to the effect that the rights of the Emperor Charles V to the Duchy of Gelre and the County of Zutphen were legitimate, together with the rejection of the objections raised by Duke William of Cleve at Frankfurt in 1539. The present text was translated from the Latin edition, which was also published by Martin Vermeere at Antwerp in 1541. In the present Dutch edition is the date of the text at the end erroneously printed as 1561.
