Adrian Couwenhoven, who died in Spain in 1592, left there a widow, Ana Wickerslot, who implored the king to grant her money to go back home to Flanders with her children. The Brebos family were famous organ-builders in the fifteenth century; they were famous marriers, too, but one of them met his match, Jean, called to Spain, married there a widow, Marianna Hita, with one son.
The widow outlived the husband and her son succeeded him in business. Gilles Brebos, the best organ-builder in Europe, according to his son, who ought to have known, married in Spain a woman who was also Flemish. When he died she was a widow raised to the third degree, and she was compelled to appeal to the king for charity.
