Specification | According to the Necrologium of St Martin's church, Roelof van Niewael died in 1522, long before Aelbert Cornelis Lotthum, and the heraldic shield and chalice mark this slab as having been carved for him, yet the first name in the inscription is that of Aelbert. |

Additional remarks | Aelbert was presumably the father-in-law of Jan Janszoon Trip, who is recorded as having been married to Salome van Lottum, daughter of Aelbert Cornelis van Lottum and his wife Anna Eliasdochter de Raet. Jan Trip was an innkeeper in Zaltbommel and was buried in the grave of Aelbert after he had been stabbed to death at his inn in 1585. |
