Item des selben Tags Herren Geld von Florenville wiedergegeben, die er meinem Herrn geliehen hatte und mein Herr verloren hatte mit keysermarct, 6 böhmische Groschen, valent .... 6 gr. 2 ester.
Translation:
"Item at the same day given to Mr. Gerd von Florenville, which he had lent to my master and which my master had lost with
keysermarct, 6 Bohemian groschen etc."
"keysermarct" is in this context expected to be the name of a game. Mr Gerd von Florenville (Florenville is a location at the French/Belgian border nowadays) gets money back, which he had given to the "Graf of Holland" and the Graf apparently lost money during playing "keysermarct", which means translated "imperial market" or "Emperor market".
For the current moment I don't know an old game with the name "Kaisermarkt" or similar. In the world of early playing cards we know expressions like "Kaiserspiel" or "Imperatori cards".
I found a similar text in this text at page 177.

De Rekeningen der Grafelijkheid van Holland (3rd part), 1878
The "Graf von Holland" is this man:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_IV._(Holland) ... he died in 1345, short after the the document with Keysermarct (Wednesday, 4th of February 1344).
.... his sister had married the emperor Ludwig the Bayer:

... his widow Johanna von Brabant ... :
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johanna_(Brabant)
... married later Wencelas, half brother of Emperor Charles IV.:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wenzel_I._(Luxemburg)
From Wencelas we definitely know, that he knew playing cards in 1379 ... he ordered the production of cards

From Empress Margarethe we know, that her son Albrecht or Albert was 9 years old in 1446, when he accompanied his mother to Holland) ...

About the later Albrecht in 1378 we definitely know, that he also had contacts to playing cards ...

About the younger Albrecht in 1362 or 1463 we have found Dutch reports (in this thread), that he played cards with Jan van Blois long before the card prohibition of Berne in 1367, but these stories are in the moment not fully accepted.
About the very young Abrecht we know, that he married a girl from Brieg ("1353 heiratete er Margarete von Liegnitz-Brieg († 1386), eine Tochter des Herzogs Ludwig I. von Liegnitz und Urenkelin des böhmischen Königs Wenzel II." ... is written in German wiki) and from Brieg we know the story, that a ligthning struck in a Haus am Ringe and 3 card players were dead in 1303.
Which is a story, that is also difficult to believe.
For the terminus "keysermarct" we have the following ....

"Keysermarkt" once was used as a city name with some competion with the Käsemarkt (cheese market) . The city is still in existence and the modern name is ...

Kežmarok is in a valley with a river (heigth 630 meters) about 20 km East of Gerlachovský štít, which is a mountain of 2654 meters. This mountain once had been the highest mountain of Poland, once of Hungary and today of Slowakia, it is in its region a true emperor ... which might have associated the name Keysermarct for the near city Kežmarok
