The Commandery (Lodge) of Saint John (Knights of Jerusalem) was an important part of the Arnhem's social and medical care. It was established by German knights and the Arnhem commandery was one of the most important ones in Holland. Please read some very interesting articles about this organization (all in Dutch):
In the extensive documentation on the Commandery there are several charters, mentioning the children of the late Gerartz van Osenbrugh. In 1538 - 1540 there were some legal problems relating to the purchase of a house called "The Parrot" (de Papegaey), which had been promised to the children of Gerart by a priest, named Andries Andriesz, who was a cousin to the children.
Read the legal documents here and explanations, who these people are.
