In 1841 Charlotte Bronte wrote to aunt Branwell, asking for a loan to allow her and Emily to study in Brussels, arguing that it would be crucial preparation for the three sisters to set up their planned school. Consent was granted, and in February 1842 they became residents at the Pensionnat Heger. The sudden death of their aunt nine months later necessitated their return; Charlotte resumed her studies in Brussels in January 1843 until the end of the year, on 01-01-1844 Charlotte Bronte left the Penssionat at Brussels for home.
