Writ of Adolf von Nassau [Present-day Germany]: “Adolf of Nassau vows to owe Count Eberhard von Katzenelnbogen 3500 Mark and pledges to him and his heir 300 Mark annually from the revenues of the imperial taxes of Oppenheim, then the Jews, and then their levies (‘Ungeld’).” [Researcher’s note: *Ungeld was akin to a consumption tax placed on goods and services. The above is a translation of a German summary of a Latin text. The original text can be found in Wenck’s Urkundenbuch für Hessische Landesgeschichte.]
