ABSTRACT
This chapter provides the most peculiar pieces of evidence for contact between Denmark and Flanders. In the binding or rather reinforcing the stitching in the spine of the accounts of the Scanian Land Commissioner for 1647 - 1648 a remarkable fragment was discovered. Determining the place of origin of the fragment is also possible through palaeographical examination, but the limited amount of words is even more of an obstacle to such an endeavour than in dating the fragment. The layout of the fragment does not seem to correspond to any of the known types of liturgical books. Breviaries, antiphonals, graduals and missals all have radically different layouts. Saint Aldegunde is a very local saint whose worship is still concentrated in Flanders and the rest of modern Belgium. The monastery at Maubeuge soon became wealthy and powerful from the income of villages in Flanders and Hainaut that Aldegunde herself and her family donated.
