A 39-year-old Bernardus of Bedum had relations with two much younger women within a very short time frame. It is unknown the circumstances, were these women maids in the household, was it consensual? We will never know. What is known is that a 19-year-old Grietje Gerremts Bijsterveld and a 23-year-old Trintje Jans Homan both became pregnant by him prior to any marriage and gave birth one week apart. Bernardus married the 23-year-old Trintje and went on to have a long marriage and familywith her. Grietje Gerremts Bijsterveld, in the meantime, made sure to name Bernardus as the baby's father in the birth certificate notes, perhaps feeling scorned - "the baby's father can be no one else but Bernardus Freerks Keift of Bedum" was what was noted to the witnesses. I imagine it was quite the scandal for all the families involved.
