In the Roman Catholic Church a grant by the pope of remission of the temporal punishment in purgatory still due for sins after absolution. The unrestricted sale of indulgences by pardoners was a widespread abuse during the later Middle Ages. Their sale motivated Martin Luther to present his "95 Theses in 1517 starting the Protestant Reformation.

An indulgence to Rimke van der Meij from 1507 was found in the Teling family archives stored in Tresoar:

En onze zeer heilige heer Paus wil en besluit tevens dat deze aflaten, gunsten en volmachten, nu of in de toekomst, niet in enige opschorting of herroeping begrepen zijn,maar altijd als daarvan uitgezonderd beschouwd dienen te worden, zoals in pauselijke brieven die terzake opgesteld zijn, uitgebreider vervat is. En omdat de in Christus toegewijde Rimke, dochter van Franciscus van den May, tot de vorenvermelde zaak van het katholieke geloof volgens de bedoeling van de Paus en onze verordening uit haar goederen vroom heeft bijgedragen, daarom bevestigen wij met het voornoemde pauselijke gezag door middel van deze brief van ons, dat zij de genoemde gunsten en aflaten gebruiken, verwerven en genieten kan en mag. Gegeven te Leeuwarden, onder ons zegel dat wij hiertoe gebruiken, op de 27e dag van de maand november in het jaar onzes Heren 1507.

Speculating: The indulgence was issued in 1507 to Rimke who we can assume is an adult. Although no birth date is known of our earliest forefather [P566] Jan van der Meye we can assume he is of the same generation. The indulgence mentions Rimkes's father, Franciscus van der May. Frans was the name of one of his sons. It was common in those (and recent) times to name children after their grandparents. Rimke could have been the sister of our earliest forefather!
