Willem Van der Tanerijen explained

Willem Van der Tanerijen (died 1499) was a jurist in the Duchy of Brabant (the territory of which is now divided between the Netherlands and Belgium) whose manuscript treatise on the procedures of the major courts of the duchy is an important source for the legal history of the fifteenth century.^{[1] [2]} He was also a proponent of university training in law.^[3]

Life

Sources on Van der Tanerijen's life are scarce. He was probably born in Antwerp, where he later served as an alderman. He was appointed to the Council of Brabant and later as master of requests of the Great Council of Mary of Burgundy.^[4]
