Interesting set of archival documents concerning this old college of the University of Leuven. It was founded in 1553 by the priest Nicolas Goblet, from Bouvignes near Dinant, to provide accomodation to poor students, particularly those from the County of Namur. The set was collected for one of them, Jean de Bouillon, to certify his affiliation to the founder: "Par les pieces icÿ attachées appert que Jean de Bouÿllon fils de feu Gabriel de Bouÿllon et de Marie de Waha, at esté, et est [...] reputé descendre de la consanguinité du susdit feu fondateur [...]".
