What was the Middle Dutch word for the Dutch word 'kruk(je)'?

Question

The word 'kruk' ('stool' in English) only appeared for the first time in the Dutch language around 1839. I'm pretty sure people already sat on 'krukjes' before 1839, but I can't find the word for those 'things you sit on without armrests etc' anywhere. Can anybody help me on this matter?

Answer 1

A lot of modern Dutch words are the same as old Dutch. The most differences are with spelling. It was probably the same, I tried wiktionary but I couldn't find much.
