A couple of words in French marriage contract

[goldie61]

From Francois de Berquen's marriage contract in 1554:

Clip 1
'mary et bail'
I'm presuming 'mary' is 'mari' - ie husband, but what is 'bail'?
(Google translate comes up with 'lease'?)

Clip 2
Francois de Berquen brings 50 what (I'm guessing this is an abbreviation for some sort of money).
"a ? legatee" from his deceased father.
"Anthoine de Berquen son frere ? a promis paier"

Many thanks

cinq? - five

aisne - first born

"aisne" from "The law-French Dictionary alphabetically digested", published 1701

Clip 2 - I think the first mystery word is luy, which the context suggests will be an old or variant spelling of lui.

clip 1
mary et bail: husband and 'tutor', responsible for her financial and other matters

clip 2
50 livres Tournois (not 100% sure)
luy = lui : him (arthurk is correct)
aisné = aîné : first born, eldest (hanes teulu is correct)

Many thanks everybody.

These early contracts give information as to the amounts of money or property brought to the marriage by the bride and groom, which is very interesting.
In another contract a little later than this one, the amounts are given in 'escutz' - I think that's what the word is in these clips.
Could the abbreviation in this 1554 one be that as well do you think Zefiro?

Écus = escutz

The "livre  tournois"  disapeared in 1795, after having replaced the " livre parisis"

I think you're right and it should be read as escutz. Monetary units can be tricky to resolve, as several can be in use at the same time. Luckily you've found it written in full instead of having to decipher some abbreviation or sign.

Created in 1263 , the "écu" was worth 3 " livres tournois"
