Live and act

Tynbeke was a maid for Johann Rode the Elder. Ä busy. Your employer was a witness for citizens of Hamburg and knights from the surrounding area and had a house near a silversmith in the parish of St. Petri in Hamburg. Rode was close friends with the merchant Ludekin Wyse, who asked in his will written in Hull that Rode should carry out this.

Tybbeke worked for Rode for many years. Like many servants of the late Middle Ages , she had to do heavy housework. Her will from 1328 indicates, however, that she must have been extremely successful. She had her own household and had been able to acquire other items that she listed in her will. Tybbeke did not work in the Rodes household for life and was married to Hasso. She bequeathed her husband three pillows, two sheets and two pots. All other items in her household - at the time also known as straight items that a woman was allowed to use - should be given to her sister.

She also left two marks and 34 shillings. Since small maids were not paid enough to save money on this scale, it can be assumed that Tybbeke was one of the great maids who received fixed annual salaries. Most of the money mentioned in the will should go to the parish of St. Katharinen. Tybbeke's wish was to be buried there too. In addition, as was customary at the time, it provided for financial donations to other parishes. The parishes of St. Jacobi and St. Katharinen received larger amounts of money than richer parishes. It can therefore be assumed that at the end of her life the center of her life was in one of these parishes. She also bequeathed a green coat to the parish of St. Katharinen, presumably a Heuken , which is specifically mentioned in the will.
