The historical document is set to be sold at an auction, but the Belgian city feels the document might have been stolen from its archives
A letter written by Elizabeth I, Queen of England and Ireland (1558-1603), has become the object of a dispute between the City of Ghent and the Lyon & Turnbull auction house. According to the Belgian city, the document belongs in its archives and demands to have it returned or at least to have the auction for its sale postponed until an investigation can produce a conclusion.
Elizabeth I, the last Tudor monarch, wrote the letter to Jan van Hembyse, an alderman and political leader during the city’s Ghent Protestant Republic period. The artefact which dates back to 30 December 1578, was written in French and personally signed by the Queen.
In the letter, Elizabeth, who was known as a champion of the Protestant cause, interestingly enough urges Hembyse to give some Catholic nobles, who have been imprisoned in Ghent, a fair trial before a competent court. The Queen appeals to Hembyze's enlightened statesmanship and love of justice in order to secure a fair trial for the imprisoned Catholics.
The document bears witness to the sense that tolerance and the rule of law were important matters in 16th-century societies as well.
The letter has been set for an auction on 19 September with an estimated value of 14,000 to 18,000 British pounds (roughly 16,500 to 21,000 euros).
The City of Ghent, however, is confident that the artefact belongs in its archives.
“It is incredible how this unique historically significant piece turns up at auction in the UK. I hope we can return the letter to where it belongs, namely the Ghent Archives,” said Filip Watteeuw, Alderman for Mobility, Public Space and Urban Development.
According to historical research the letter did reach its recipient and had since then remained in possession of his heirs before, at some point and without clear explanation, it ended up back in the United Kingdom.
