Origin and coherence

For the charter confirmed below, see Thorn Collection, no. 4. On 15 September 1292 two more confirmation and renewal charters were granted by Roman King Adolf to the abbey of Thorn (see Thorn Collection, nos. 60 and 61), as well as a validation confirming the count of Gelre's charter of 17 September 1292 (see Thorn Collection, no. 63). The three confirmation charters dated 15 September 1292 have nearly identical dictation.
