The Arend Maartenshof is one of many 'hofjes' (almshouses) in Dordrecht, known for a long tradition of charity. These hofjes provided shelter for needy elderly people, often women. The establishment of such hofjes often followed a pattern of benefactors dedicating their wealth to the community. Which of the following dates logically fits into the chronological sequence of the development of hofjes in the Netherlands? 1300 (first hofjes in the Netherlands) → 1400 (increase in foundations) → ____ (peak period for hofjes) → 1700 (decline in new foundations).
