The Oisterwijk court recorded on 13 December 1423 that Gherijt Wijten, bastard son of Gherijt Wijten, had committed a misdeed against lady Elsbeen Jans van Wijflit. Gherijt Wijten promised to Willem Jans van Wijflit for himself and his brother Jan and their next of kin, to leave the lands of Brabant, as soon as Roelof van Haestrecht, Jan Back Berthouts and Jan van Erpe son of Jan Serijs, would order him to do so. He could not return unless Jan and Willem, sons of the late Jan van Wijflit, agreed. Gherijt Wijten promised to fulfill any orders given to him by the arbiters Roelof van Haestrecht, Jan Back, and Jan van Erpe.
The brothers Gherit Wijten and Henric Wijten, sons of the late Gherijt Wijten, on behalf of Gherijt Wijten bastard of the said Gherijt Wijten, promised to hold Gherijt to his word. If Gherijt broke his word, his brothers would compensate. Gherijt and Henric Wijten, sons of the late Gherijt Wijten, and their nephews Gherijt and Marcelijs, sons of the late Wijtman Gherijt, promised to give Phijlijps van Meeghem 200 gold crowns.
