Description
The portrait was originally accompanied by the inscription: 'Hebdomadae octavae quaesita thelonia nobis Confirmat scripto Princips alma manus. / Hospitio et templo, cui sanctus Spiritus indit / Nomen, praeficimur pro pietate Ducis." The ruler approved the desired privilege. He obtained the hospital and church of the Holy Spirit, which had been established thanks to the prince's piety.
