[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10342220, member: 2844"]It is like the Dutch word reder, someone who owns a fleet of ships. Is it Iver who is the skipsreder? If so, he would have been one of the more prosperous citizens of Larvik, and could have commissioned a portrait of his wife Cathrine. So your "Medieval Princess" is probably an 18th century ship owner's wife.;) Bok means book, so probably a more formal language used in books and official correspondence?[/QUOTE]
