An unfinished tenant register of the estates of Anna Hogenskild in Finland, namely Nynäs, Vik, Kyllelä, and Lahis. This tenant register offers an example of records being duplicated or triplicated: there are three other tenant register from 1553, all concerning the same estates (Stockholm, National Archives, Adliga ätten Bielke, Vol. 4, records i (fol. 92–138) and ii (quires 5–8), and Vol. 5, record i). Part of a large block of records from the mid-16th century pertaining to the estates of Nynäs, Vik, Kyllelä, and Lahis.

The financial records of Nynäs and related estates came to the Swedish Crown, and later the Swedish National Archives, when the possessions and archives of Hogenskild Bielke were confiscated following his execution in 1605 (see Introduction to these descriptions).
