French short paragraph from Rodiere (1589)

Following on from this post of a marriage contract for Guillaume Bernard and Ysabeau Falempin

This small paragraph is on the next page of the book.
Another son of Ysembart Bernard, but what’s his name?
I’m guessing the 'h^er'  is an abbrevaition for ‘heir’.




Ratif(icati)on du jeudy 4 May suiv(ant) par   ?htes Bernard, lab(oureur) à Questinhen
en Broyannais fils et principal h^er de deff(unc)t Ysembart Bernard et de
Catherine Wasselin, donnat   ?  ?    devant declairez ; au nom de lad(ite)
Wasselin

Must be short for something , the first letter could be P, then h , Phillipe?

heir is correct

I read donnateurs

[manukarik]

h^er = héritier = heir in English

A tree on geneanet shows  Ysembart BERNARD married to Catherine WASSELIN with children
Guillaume BERNARD, and Philippe BERNARD. Nothing to back it up though.

I did wonder whether the abbreviation could be for Philibert or something similar.

It is Philippe ,see here

Thanks everybody.

Well spotted joger.

'Phtes' is a very strange abbreviation for 'Philippe' though!

I agree with you. The Rodiere papers are transcriptions of the original papers , that's why the writing is so easily read , 1589 writing would be much more difficult to decipher.
