What is this marriage phrase from 1756 Alsace record?

Tom Randolph

Could you please help confirm this phrase, especially the last word that I can't figure out: I am seeing: "auf erhaltenener ehehafftl[iche]n Hochegt?" for something like 'due to assumed premarital relations received authorisation ?? and lawfully blessed in marriage'?

@Tom Randolph

I would guess something like:

"auf erhaltenen herrschaftlichen Befehl"

but I can't identify all letters; especially I don't see the "h" for herrschaftlichen.

Ulrich Neitzel

@Tom Randolph

In the same book image 34 it is very clearly "Vermöge herrschafftl. Befehls":

I've seen this in other church records as well. The subjects of the local lord were "ordered" to marry if they had an illegitimate child.

Still, in your record I see "__schaftl." pretty clearly, with probably two letters before, but not "herr-".

"ehehaftlich" ist a very uncommon word; "ehehaftlicher Befehl" does not really make sense.

Tom Randolph

Thanks @Ulrich Neitzel ! I will go with 'auf erhaltenen ehehaftl[iche]n Befehl' since it isn't clear why the ruling house would make a church decision, whereas something about 'received a marriage order' from church authorities would work based on other records from this area. What do you think?

Tom Randolph

Excellent! I obviously still have a lot to learn! Thanks again!
