Social Sciences - History
Swedish term or phrase: Stelb.
Written at the top of a document (kammarråds frihetsbrev), dated at Stockholm, 8 July 1629: "Copia af Stelb. Cammerådz Frijhetz Breff på halfua utlagorna af Prästegäldet Tryserum..." The following document concerns an exemption from half the annual taxes, granted to the parish vicar of Tryserum.

The meaning of the abbreviation "Stelb." is unclear to me. Any suggestions?

Explanation:
If the reading is Welb. not Stelb. the full word should be Välborne - litterally "well born" but the honorific used for one of the lower rungs of nobility in the Riddarhuset. Next step up is Högvälborne.
