over de vloer kregen. De verdere verdeling is echter niet meegedeeld geworden, maar het kan niet anders
dan dat deze Italiaanse troepen verspreid zijn geweest over gans het platteland. Begin december zijn
gedeputeerden van het Land van Aalst dan naar Ieper en Rijssel vertrokken, om het vertrek van deze
Italianen te eisen. Ze lagen immers van eind juli al op het Aalsterse platteland, en ze hadden de lokale
bevolking al meer dan 150.000 gulden gekost! Dit verzoek wordt toegestaan, en in de loop van december
vertrekken deze Italianen, maar de mensen van het platteland moeten wel nog tot en met de laatste dag
van april iedere dag vier rantsoenen van vijf patars per dag uitbetalen.

The sitter for this striking portrait is Francesco d'Este,
illegitimate son of Leonello d'Este, ruler of Ferrara. In
1444, Francesco was sent to the Netherlands, where he
received his education and military training at the court of
Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy. He was educated with
Philip's son, Charles de Charlerois (later Charles the
Bold), and became a permanent chamberlain to the duke,
acting frequently as an envoy to Italy. This portrait was
painted in the Netherlands about 1460, when Francesco
was around thirty years old. The hammer and ring he
holds may be prizes won for a jousting victory, or symbols
of his office and power. On the verso of the panel are
painted the splendid coat of arms and crest of the Este
family, quartered with the honor bestowed on the house of
Este in 1432 by Charles VII of France. Above and below
the armorials is the inscription, which reads, in part:
"entirely yours, marquis of Este, Francesco." This apparent
dedication suggests that the portrait was not kept by the
sitter but was presented by him to a close acquaintance or
member of the court as a gift of friendship. The portrait
was painted by Rogier van der Weyden, who undertook a
number of portrait commissions for members of the
Burgundian court, while the verso was probably painted by
a workshop assistant.
