Abstract :
[en] With the death of Henry VII of Luxembourg at Buonconvento on August 24, 1313, the Romfahrt he had undertaken since 1310 came to a tragic end. In the following days, hundreds of documents that had been collected during the journey were left behind in Pisa. The only exceptions were some registers and letters the Savoyard Bernard de Mercato, chief notary of the imperial chamber, brought with him to Chambéry. Besides, less than thirty letters from the correspondence between Henry VII and Frederick III of Aragon, concerning the alliance the two established in 1312 against the King of Naples Robert of Anjou, as well as a dozen privilegia of Pope Clement V, were taken into the custody of the Imperial marshal Henry of Flanders, but were then lost. The aim of this contribution is to show how some traces found in the Trésor des Chartes of the Counts of Luxembourg seem to support the hypothesis that they were returned to members of the Luxembourg dynasty.
