Kirken erklærer interdikt over DK. dvs. fo Eric V of Denmark From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Eric V "Klipping" (1249- November 22, 1286) was King of Denmark (1259-1286) and son of Christopher I. Until 1264 he ruled under the auspices of his mother, the competent Queen Dowager Margaret Sambiria. In this period he was for some time 1261-1262 a prisoner in Holstein after a military defeat and afterwards he was for some years brought up in Brandenburg. He tried to enforce his power over church and nobility. His conflict with the former was brought to a satisfying result but in 1282 he was forced by the latter to accept an agreement (a "handfastening" - a kind of a Danish Magna Carta) which limited his authority. In the 1270s, Erik Glipping attacked Småland. A never-ending rivalry between Eric and his supporters on one side, and the kin of former King Abel on the other, made Queen Margrethe write to the Pope in Rome around 1262 or 1263, asking the Pope to allow for women to inherit the Danish throne, thus making it possible for one of Eric's sisters to become reigning Queen of Denmark in the event of the young King's death (he had no children as of yet). The Pope seemingly agreed, but it never became an issue; Eric was succeeded by his son, who was named Eric after his uncle, Eric IV "Ploughpenny". Eric Klipping was assassinated November 22, 1286, and a number of the nation's most powerful noblemen, led by Marsk Stig Andersen Hvide were outlawed by the Danish court. Whether or not they actually had anything to do with the murder, which took place in a small village near Viborg called Finderup, is still being questioned; the King's death meant that they lost almost all the power and influence that the 1282 charter had given them, since a new King would not be bound by the same agreement. The murder of Eric Klipping, who was stabbed to death in his sleep, is a middle-age murder mystery which has never really been solved. Some historians have tried to point out the Duke of South Jutland but no prove has been found. The king’s nickname ”Klipping” or ”Glipping” has been discussed. Normally it is supposed to mean a medieval coin that has become ”clipped” or cut in order to indicate devaluation. A former popular explanation - that Eric was often blinking (Danish “glippe”) with his eyes – now seems to be generally rejected. | GLIPPING, Erik V (I964)

| 252 | The earliest instance of any form of the surname found was for a Danish knight spelling, literally means "rose-wreath, rose-garland", but from an early date it has meant "rosary". (Modern Swedish preserves both senses, but in Norwegian and Danish "rosary" appears to be either the only or at least the primary sense) [8, 9, 10, 11]. The most likely spelling of this name ca. 1400 is likely roughly \ROE-sen-krahnts\, with \s\ as in English \see\ and secondary stress on the last syllable. It appears that the 14th c. byname recorded for not adopted as an inherited surname until 1524, when King Frederick I of Denmark required the noble families of Denmark to adopt a family name [12]. In Denmark in the 16th century, we found mentions of 1562 and 1567, though these spellings are normalized and don't necessarily represent medieval spellings of the name [13, 14, 15, 16]. The notation with a slash through the letter. As Norway increasingly came under Danish control in the early 16th century, Norwegian charters begin to list the names of several men bearing forms of the name were all from one family, serving as officers of the Danish crown, and the spellings shown below reflect the various spellings in the manuscripts: http://www.panix.com/~gabriel/public-bin/showfinal.cgi/3074.txt | ROSENKRANTZ, Axel Nielsen til Langtind (I304)

| 253 | The legend of St. Hallvard St. Hallvard is Guardian Angel of Oslo. The legend tells that Hallvard (1020 - 1043) was the son of Vebjørn on Huseby in Lier, sisters son of Hellig Olavs mother. He was killed by an arrow when he tried to save a hunted pregnant woman in a boat over the Drammensfjord. A big stone was tied to his body, and he was thrown in the fjord. The body came up with the stone, and was found by people from his village. This was taken as a sign that Hallvard was a saint. He was buried in the church that later got his name, St. Hallvards' church. Hallvard - Norwegian saint, (Old Norse Hallvarðr), born 1020, died 1043, the approximate year of birth, Norwegian saint. Hallvardslegenden er bevart både i latinske liturgiske skrifter og i bruddstykker av en islandsk-norsk saga. Hallvard The legend is preserved both in the Latin liturgical writings and fragments of an Icelandic-Norwegian saga. Hallvard var ifølge deler av overleveringen sønn av storbonden Vebjørn på Huseby i Lier, og Torny, søster eller søsterdatter til Åsta, Olav den helliges mor. Hallvard was, according to parts of the tradition of great farmer's son Vebjørn at Huseby in Lier, and Torny, sister or sister's daughter Asta, Olav the Holy Mother. Om hans martyrium fortelles at han søkte å beskytte en fruktsommelig kvinne mot overfall, men ble drept ved et pileskudd da han tok henne med i sin båt på Drammensfjorden. About his martyrdom is told that he was seeking to protect a pregnant woman against the assault, but was killed by a pileskudd when he took her in his boat on the Drammen Fjord. Hans lik ble senket i sjøen med en stein om halsen, men ble funnet flytende kort tid etter med steinen om halsen. His body was lowered into the sea with a stone around her neck, but was found floating a short time later with the stone around her neck. Han ble først gravlagt i Lier, men da bispekirken i Oslo (Sankt Hallvardskatedralen) ble vigslet, trolig i 1120-årene, fikk Hallvards-relikviene plass på høyalteret der. He was first buried in Lier, but when the bishop's church in Oslo (St. Hallvard's Cathedral) was dedicated, probably in 1120's, had Hallvard-relics sites on the high altar there. Hallvard var først og fremst lokalhelgen i Viken og på Opplandene, og her ble hans festdag, 15. Hallvard was primarily a local weekend in Viken and Opplands, and here was his feast day, 15 mai, feiret som obligatorisk helligdag. May, celebrated as mandatory holiday. Fra dette området stammer de fleste kirkededikasjoner, kunstneriske fremstillinger og andre minner om Hallvardsdyrkingen. From this area derives most kirkededikasjoner, artistic representations, and other memories of Hallvard cultivation. St. Hallvard var i katolsk tid en kjent helgen både i resten av den norske kirkeprovinsen, i Sverige og andre steder i Nord-Europa. St. Hallvard was in Catholic times, a famous saint in the rest of the Norwegian church province in Sweden and elsewhere in northern Europe. Som Oslo bys vernehelgen er han avbildet med møllesteinen og pilene i Oslo bys segl og bymerke. As the Oslo City patron saint, he is depicted with the stone mill and the arrows in the Oslo City seal and bymerke. Vi kjenner også en hallvardsekvens, en gledeshymne til bruk på helgenens festdag. We also know a Hallvard sequence, a gledeshymne for use on the saint's feast day. http://www.snl.no/Hallvard/norsk_helgen Author: Per G.

| 254 | The new king, Christoffer II, mortgaged large parts of the Danish crown lands to the counts of Holstein. In concert with the Swedish monarchy, the Holstein counts secured an uneasy control over the kingdom, from 1332-1340. The restoration of the Danish monarchy under King Valdemar IV Atterdag, which took place over a number of years (1340-1360), culminated with Valdemar's conquest of the island of Gotland, in 1361. Gotland remained in Danish hands, off and on, until 1645. This period also saw open warfare with the cities of the Hansa Alliance. http://www.scholiast.org/history/denmark/danhist2.html Tapestry http://www.ses.dk/ses_web/html/uk_slotte/gobelin_kronborg_uk.htm Konge 1319-1326 og 1330 - 32.

Efter kongens død i 1332 er Danmark uden konge indtil 1340 Christopher II of Denmark From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Christopher II (September 29, 1276 - August 2, 1332) was king of Denmark from 1320 to 1326 and again from 1329 until his death. He was son of Eric V. His name is connected with national disaster, as his rule ended in an almost total dissolution of the Danish state. Being the brother of King Eric VI, Christopher was a possible heir to the throne. As a quite young man with the title of Duke of Estonia he supported the politics of his brother. Among other things he arrested Archbishop Jens Grand in 1294. But later on he joined the opposition and went into exile at the death of Eric in 1319. The magnates wanted a weak royal power, and he was accepted as king in 1320; in return he signed a contractual haandfæstning, the first time this kind of document was used as a coronation charter. He received a beginning "bankrupt estate" in which vital parts of the kingdom were mortgaged to German and Danish magnates. The conditions of the charter were very hard, because they limited his possibilities of taxation, as well as demanded his payment. During the next years Christopher tried to strengthen his position by reviving Eric’s war policy in Northern Germany. This resulted in new mortgages and taxes, and very soon he was in conflict with both the church and the magnates. During a rebellion in 1326 he was overthrown by an alliance between Danish magnates and Holstein Count Gerhard III. He was forced into exile, while the minor Duke Valdemar of South Jutland was made a puppet king. Until 1329 Christopher lived in exile, but a growing chaos in the "magnates’s republic" of Denmark, and frictions between Gerhard and his cousin Count Johan of Plön, Christopher’s half-brother, gave him another chance. Christopher was restored as Danish king 1329-1330 by the co-operation of Johan, but this time he was reduced to the position of a puppet from the start. Most of his country was mortgaged, and he had no chance of holding his royal power. In 1331 an attempt of using a new conflict between Gerhard and Johan by joining the latter ended in a clear military defeat at Dannevirke. At the peace he remained king, but a ruined and broken man; he died on Lolland the next year. Upon his death Denmark ceased being a formal kingdom, and for the next eight years it was subdued by various mortgagees to a German military rule. Posterity’s judgement of Christopher normally has been extremely hard, and he has often been regarded as a weak, unreliable and incapable tyrant— "the king who mortgaged Denmark to the Germans". He in many ways simply carried on the policy of his predecessor. The line of mortgaging was widely advanced as he took over the throne. Nor would it be right to call him a passive ruler; the firm resistance by the Danish magnates and their co-operation with the Holsteiners partly undermined his freedom of action. Christopher had three sons of which the last one, Valdemar IV Atterdag, was to restore the Danish kingdom in 1340. | DANMARK, Christoffer II King af (I1117)

| 255 | The son that inherited Elinggård was Valentin Hartvig HUITFELDT. He was married to Ingeborg Christine Reichwein. Just like her mother-in-law, she was also an intellectual character type with a faculty for literature and language. She held lectures in København, which was rather uncommon the time. Valentin HUITFELDT came up in economic hard times. His brother, Major Christian Christopher HUITFELDT oft Kjølberg was bankrupt, and Valentin had criticized his large economic (debt). He took over Kjølberg, and it ended with Valentin losing both the farm and supporting estate. It became simultaneously known that he had received monetary gifts for military favors, and it was illegal. He was at the tim e a major general and was decorated with Dannebrog. Therefore he lost his military position and got a reduced pension. He had to additionally sit four weeks in house arrest. The situation was disastrous and humbling, and a family dynasty that ha d lived for 400 years, was ending. Simultaneously, Elinggård had been an economic and social center in the local community. It made therefore a great impression on the people that Valentin had to leave the farm and grounds. BIOGRAPHY: This portrait of Major General Valentin Wilhelm Hartvig HUITFELDT is found at Elingaard. He was the head of Ons¯yske company #1 (÷stre) Sm=lenske national infantry regiment under Sm=lenske national infantry regiment in 1765-1769, the n with Brigadier Lt. Colonel grade. In 1769 he became Brigadier Colonel and head for 1st Bergenbasiske national infantry regiment, and from 1772 he was the head of 2nd Akershusiske national infantry regiment with the grade of Major General fro m 1777. Valentin W.H. HUITFELDT was born at Elingaard in 1719. He was the son of Lt. General Henrik Jorgen HUITFELDT and Birgitte Christine Kaas, and took over Elingaard after his father's death in 1751. Fenrikgraden he go t in 1736 when he was with Rappes gevorbne infantry regiment. Military experience from service utside Norway he received with military service near Livgarden in Kˆbenhavn in 1739; and with this detachment also from 1749 to 1753. Before Valenti n W.H. HUITFELDT became head of Ons¯yske company, he had been placed with Ulriksdahls gevorbne infantry regiment, later called Nordenfjellske gevorbne infantry regiment. HUITFELDT was separated from the military in 1778, the same year as he had to sell Elig=r d with its accompanying landed property and lease (sub) farms. Before the sale of Eling=rd he had incurred a big mortgage debt that he had no way to pay, and he had overestimated the value of reinbursment as considered for officers. Therefore he became under four weeks arrest at Akershus fortress. After this time he got changed to hou se arrest in the dwelling he had in Moss. - Valentin W.H. HUITFELDT's wife was Ingeborg Christine Reichwein. A portrait of her her is also at Elingaard (see p. 87). http://genealogy.munthe.net/database/notes.html | HUITFELDT, Valentin W.H. (I1432)

| 256 | The Thrugot-family/Thrugot-Slægten Bodil Thrugotsdatter, born ab. 1065, was a daughter of Jarl Thrugot Ulvsen Fagerskind and Thorgunna Vagnsdatter. According to Saxo she was already married to Erik Ejegod in the beginning of Oluf Hunger's rule,(1086-95) when she followed him in exile to Sweden, so she might have been about 20-21 years in the first year of her marriage. Erik was born in 1056 , and he became king in 1095 after Oluf Hunger's death. It was said that he was the son among Svend Estridsen's many sons whom people loved the most. He was tall and strong. Saxo praised Bodil's beauty as well as her character, especially her tolerance towards her husband and his mistresses. It was usual for a king in those days to have many mistresses and illegitimate children. Erik had four known children with various mistresses (friller). Bodil and Erik's only child was Knud Lavard, who was born in 1096. The church began to strengthen the marriage which must be the frame of the family, but it took some years ...many years. There was no clear-cut boundary line between children born in or out of wedlock. The last, the so-called slegfredbørn (illegitimate) were hardly in worse positions than the legitimate children - if only their father acknowledged them. Fx Svend Estridsen had 20 children out of wedlock with 20 different women , and five of the sons became kings. Most important was the blood- or family bands with a certain priority for the male line. But the church had the last word. Those loose sexual relations were condemned, the church achieved authority in matrimonial cases, and it forbid divorce between husband and wife. In 1095 the Pope Urban 2. organized the first crusade to the holy land and a year later the crusaders gathered at Konstantinopel. From Denmark came Svend Estridsen's son Sven and a couple of bishops, but already on their way to the crusaders' army they were killed by Turks. In 1103 Erik Ejegod and Bodil went on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, but they did not survive either. They followed the old route of the Vikings along the Russian rivers with a large entourage. Bishop Asser, queen Bodil's nephew was together with Harald Kesja, Eriks half brother, installed as temporary regents in Denmark. King Erik died at Cypres, ab. 47 years of age, and queen Bodil died in Jersusalem, ab. 38 years of age. She died at Oliebjerget and was buried in Josafat's Dal. This happened in 1103 shortly before Asser Svendsen, her nephew and a member of the Thrugot-family became the first archbishop in Lund. And the orphan boy Knud was only seven years old. Bodil's father Thrugot Ulfsen/Ulvsen Fagerskind was obviously a good-looking guy; Harald Hardrade gave him the by-name Fagerskind (pretty skin), a name that followed him forever. His father was the famous Jarl Galicie-Ulf/Ulv (Ulf the Galiciefarer) who was wellknown for his sea-expeditions. Galicia in the northwestern part of Spain was one of the first kingdoms in Europe, and during the 9th and 10th centuries Normans and Vikings occassionally raided the coasts. The Towers of Catoria were built as a system of fortifications to stop the Viking raids on Santiago de Compostela. Ulv was a høvding (chief) in Jutland and a Jarl in Denmark, so it's easy to imagine that he was one of the Viking-chiefs on the Galicia-raids. And when he returned home with rich booty from Spain he quickly achieved the Galicia-name. His son Thrugot had the Galicia-name too, but if he inherited it after his father or because he followed in his father's footsteps to Galicia is not sure. Ulv's wife and Thrugots mother was Bodil Haakonsdatter, a daughter of Haakon Ladejarl Eriksson and Gunhild Burislawsdatter of Venden, and she was a granddaughter of the Norwegian king Haakon Sigurdsson Jarl or Hákon jarl hinn ríki (Hakon Jarl the rich) who reigned Norway from ab. 970 until 995, where he after a peasant-rebellion was killed by his good friend and trall Tormod Kark. Bodils father Thrugot died ab. 1070 when she was a little girl. She was born ab. 1065 and was obviously named after her paternal grandmother Bodil Haakonsdatter. She was probably brought up in Jutland on the family estate. Her mother Thorgunn/Thorgunna Vagnsdatter, born ab. 1030,who became the ancestral mother of the famous Jutland Thrugot-family, was a daughter of Vagn Aagesen/Åkesson of a family from Bornholm. It is a probability that Thorgunn lived long after Thrugot's death, maybe she is the "Thrugund, Langliva Mother dicta», whose day of death is written in the Lund-Dødebog on 8. February. A runestone in Asmild kirke at Viborg was found in the tower foundation in 1950. It is disputed if Thorgund who raised the stone after her husband Bose, belonged to the influential Thrugot-family, and it is uncertain what it means that Bose was en "tidernes mand" (man of times). The inscription is: "Thorgund, Thorgot Thjodulfssøns datter, satte denne sten efter sin mand Bose, tidenders mand.....datter" ("Thorgund, Thorgot Thjodulfssøns datter, raised this stone after her husband Bose, a man of times.....daughter.") Vagn Aagesen was a legendary Danish warrior in the end of the 900s who played an important role in Jomsvikingernes saga and is mentioned in other sagas. Vagn was a son of Åke Tokesson and Torgunn Vesetesdatter from Bornholm. According to Snorre Sturlasson Erik Jarl let Vagn Åkesson marry Ingeborg Torkelsdatter, a daughter of Erik ejegod who Vagn had killed, and Erik Jarl gave him good ship and crew. They parted as friends and the saga says that Vagn went home to Denmark; he became a great man and many great people descended from him . After this Vagn disappears from the sagas, but we know that his daughter Thorgunn Vagnsdatter married Thrugot Ulvsson Fagerskind, and Thorgunn and Thrugot's daughter Bodil became queen of Denmark via her marriage to Svend Estridsen's son Erik. If they were married before or in the beginning of Oluf Hunger's rule, then the marriage might have been in 1085, ten years before Erik in 1095 became king as Erik 1. , and he was later given the name Ejegod, probably because of his good personality. Bodil had two brothers, Sven and Astra, who were named Thorgunnasen after their high-ranked mother and Thrugotsen after their father. Svend and Astra were according to Knytlingesaga Knud den Hellige's hirdmænd and best of friends. They accompanied him when the rebellion broke out in Jutland, and during the fight in Sankt Albani kirke they defended him bravely. Svend and Astra survived and after Knud's death they went to Flandern to work for that Knud's imprisoned brother Oluf was released; they went to prison instead of him, until a ransom could be paid to count Balduin. Oluf went home and became king in Denmark (in 1086), but he did not send any ransom. Count Balduin allowed the brothers to go home to get the ransom, but Oluf still wouldn't pay a dime. Not very sympathetic. The brothers then paid the ransom themselves, but count Balduin was generous and let them keep the money. What is told about Svend's life is marked with uncertainty, but he was the father of archbishop Asser, bishop Svend in Viborg, Eskil Svendsen and Christiern Svendsen, who became a powerful man in the Danish kingdom. The Thrugot-family is also named the Trued-or the Trund-family. Sven Aggesen mentions in his writings about family connections to Ommersyssel in Jutland. In Kastbjerg parish in Ommersyssel (Nørrejylland) is an estate named Trudsholm. The present manor was built in the 1600s but about 2 km northeast of the manor Trudsholm is Gammel Trudsholm, a large and impressive castle bank; there are actually two sections of which the northern is the largest, both surrounded by moats. To the west and south the plan is encircled by a front work, expanding to the south in a considerable broadth. Brickwork have been found at the place. I don't know if this could be called a qualified guess, at least it is allowed to have a guess. The old castle bank is known back to the year 1368, but how far back there were fortificated buildings here is not known. Maybe Gammel Trudsholm was once a fortificated castle of the Thrugot-family. Remember it's only a guess! When Erik Ejegod and Bodil went out on their pilgrimage, they left their son Knud in the care of Skjalm Hvide. Knud's fosterbrothers were the four Skjalm-sons, Asser, Ebbe, Toke and Sune. They probably had a happy childhood at Skjalm Hvide's estate in Fjenneslev. Knud was a prince and heir to the Danish throne; he was supposedly taken good care of. He lived in a safe family-group. The medieval name "familia" means the household, the big family itself and servants, free or not free. If a family member was attacked, the family-group gathered for revenge or receipt of compensation. Knud and his fosterbrothers' school-learning was probably put into their heads by a private teacher, possibly a priest. Clerical persons were almost the only ones who could read and write. Five lively boys, fairly of the same age harrassing one confused Latin teacher because they would rather go out playing crusaders. There were two Skjalm-daughters, Cæcilia and Margrethe, but they didn't count much! But the childhood soon ended and Skjalm Hvide sent the young Danish prince down to the German Herzog (duke) Lothar of Saxony, who became German king in 1125. When he was 20 years old, Knud got married to Ingeborg of Russia in 1116; she was a daughter of Grossfürst Mstislav 1. of Kiev and Christina of Sweden, and almost at the same time, he became Jarl of the Danish border and Hertug of Schleswig. He was so successful that he was appointed patron protector by the merchants. His byname Lavard was a name of honour; the word originated from Old English hlaford = Lord. It meant Lord(Herre) in Saxon and other Germanic languages - the original meaning was bread giver. Later Knud became - with the assistance from king Lothar - knés over the Abodrits under Saxon superiority, and in this way he was both the Danish and German king's vassal. Knud Lavard was, as a son of Erik Ejegod, an obvious candidate to the Danish throne, also because he had important and friendly contacts to king Lothar and the Wends, but others were more than interested in the royal power; among those his cousin Magnus, a son of king Niels - and another cousin, Henrik Skadelaar, a son of Svend, who like Niels and Erik Ejegod was a son of Svend Estridsen. Svend had been desperate for gaining the Danish crown, but he died in 1104 on his way to Viborg Thing. Henrik had inherited his father's dream; he conspired with Magnus against Knud Lavard for years. It all ended tragically with the murder of Knud in Haraldsted in January 1131. A descendant of the mighty Thrugots and the old Danish kings was eliminated, but he had left a son, who would once become one of the greatest Danish kings, the boy Valdemar who was brought up by Knuds' fosterbrother, Skjalm Hvide's son Asser Rig and fru Inge. His fosterbrothers were Esbern Snare and Absalon. (See my article about Knud Lavard in the Thyra-blog) .

| 257 | Theophanu From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For the Byzantine Empress, see Theophano (Byzantine Empress). Otto II and Theophano Enlarge Otto II and Theophano Theophanu (960 – June 15, 991) (Greek: ??????? Theophano), also spelled Theophania, was born in Constantinople, and was the wife of Otto II, Holy Roman Emperor. Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor had requested a Greek princess for his son, Otto, to seal a treaty between the Holy Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire. Theophanu duly arrived in 972, arriving in grand style with a magnificent escort and bearing great treasure. However, according to the chronicler Thietmar, she was not the virgo desiderata, the Imperial princess, that was expected. Theophanu is identified in the marriage contract as the neptis (niece or granddaughter) of Emperor John I Tzimisces (??????? ? ?????????). At one time it was believed Theophanu was the daughter of the Emperor Romanus II and his consort Theophano, but no mention is made of her being porphyrogenita (??????????????), purple-born, nor are her parents identified. It is unlikely that Theophanu was the daughter of any emperor -- the current theory is that her father was Konstantinos Skleros (???????????? ???????), brother of the pretender Bardas Skleros (?????? ???????) and her mother was Sophia Phokaina (????? ???????), niece of Emperor Nicephorus II (????????? ??) and the sister of Tzimisces' first wife Maria Skleraina (????? ?????????). Theophanu and Otto were married by Pope John XIII on April 14, 972 at Saint Peter's and she was crowned the same day in Rome. Their children were: * Adelaide, Abbess of Quedlinburg, born November or December 977 * Sophia, Abbess of Gandersheim and Essen, born 978 * Matilda of Saxony, born 979, who married Ezzo, count palatine of Lotharingia * Otto III, Holy Roman Emperor, born June or July 980 * A daughter, a twin to Otto, who died before October 8, 980 Theophanu accompanied her husband on all his journeys, and issued diplomas in her own name as Empress. It is known she was frequently at odds with her mother-in-law, Adelaide of Italy, and this caused an estrangement between Otto II and Adelaide. According to Odilo, Abbot of Cluny, Adelaide was very happy when "that Greek woman" died. Albert of Metz describes Theophanu as being an unpleasant and talkative woman. Theophanu was also criticized for introducing luxurious garments and jewelry into Germany. She is credited with introducing the fork to Western Europe - chronographers mention the astonishment she caused when she "used a golden double prong to bring food to her mouth" instead of using her hands as was the norm. "The theologian Peter Damian even asserts that Theophanu had a love affair with John Philagathos, a Greek monk who briefly reigned as Antipope John XVI. Sarcophagus of Empress Theophanu Enlarge Sarcophagus of Empress Theophanu Otto II died suddenly on December 7, 983 and was buried in Rome. That Christmas Theophanu had their three-year-old son crowned as Otto III, with herself ruling as Empress Regent on his behalf. Henry II, Duke of Bavaria seized Otto in spring 984, but was forced to surrender the child to his mother. With the cooperation of Willigis, Archbishop of Mainz, and Hildebald, Bishop of Worms, Theophanu reigned until her death in 991. She was buried in the church of Saint Pantaleon at Cologne. The chronicler Thietmar eulogized her as follows: "Though [Theophanu] was of the weak sex she possessed moderation, trustworthiness, and -- which is not often found in Greece -- good manners. In this way she protected with male vigilance the royal power for her son, friendly with all those who were honest, but with terrifying superiority against rebels." Because Otto III was still a child, his grandmother Adelaide of Italy took over the regency until Otto III became old enough to rule on his own. | THEOPHANA (I151)

Only few Danish magnates have been such a center of contention as this family. No information tells us if Marsk Stig owned Bjørnholm, but his son Anders Stigsen Hvide of Tygestrup (now Kongsdal) was the owner of the manor, and after his death his son Stig Andersen Hvide (the Young) inherited Bjørnholm and Tygestrup. He was namecalled after his grandfather, the famous Marsk Stig, who according to tradition was king Erik Klipping's killer. When Christoffer II in 1320 ascended the throne, Marsk Stig's family was able to return to their native country, and the head of the family, Stig Andersen took again possession of a big part of the family's properties. During the following years he built Bjørnholm at Djursland, maybe at the same place where the present Høgholm is situated - but in the garden by Ordrupgård in the neighbouring parish is a motte, a circular castle bank, 6 m tall and with a diameter of 20 m, surrounded by a moat, which again is surrounded by a circular dam. The very first Bjørnholm might have existed here. (Obdrupgård is also on the map) Stig Andersen lead the opposition of the Jute nobility against the royal power from Bjørnholm . In 1331 he was grev Gert of Holstein's marsk and belonged like Niels Bugge of Hald to the leaders inside the Jute nobility. After grev Gert was killed, he joined Valdemar Atterdag's party and was for a period statholder (=viceregent) in Estonia. But when king Valdemar in 1350 started his large reduction of the Danish nobility's properties, which during the troubled years slipped out of the Crown's hands, the friendship was over between the two men. Valdemar Atterdag took some estate from Stig Andersen, which he had achieved, while grev Gert was in power, and even though ridder Stig Andersen is not supposed to have participated in the big rebellion against the king in 1357, he broke with him jn 1359 , after his son and brother were murdered together with Niels Bugge in Middelfart January 1359. These murders were possibly requested by the king. In 1360 Stig Andersen still fought against the royal power. In 1362 he decided that Bjørnholm after his death should be inherited by his murdered brother's sons, Jens and Anders Ovesen Hvide. Jens Ovesen made a very good match, since he was married to Elisabeth, a daughter of drost Claus Limbek; they were assigned half the manor after Stig Andersen's death in 1369. The other half was assigned to Anders Ovesen (+1420), and when his son Ove Andersen died unmarried, his mother Else Holgersdatter Krognos brought her part of Bjørnholm to her second husband, rigshofmester Otte Nielsen Rosenkrantz. About 1468 he bought the rest of Bjørnholm from Mogens Ebbesen Galt and Holger Munk, who had achieved this part from their mother-in-law, Inger Andersdatter Hvide. | HVIDE, Marsk Stig Andersen (I1060)

| 266 | Tryggve Olafsson From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This article is about the father of King Olaf Trygvasson of Norway. For the purported son of King Olaf, see Tryggve the Pretender. Tryggve Olafsson (died 963) (Old Norse: Tryggvi Ólafsson, Norwegian: Tryggve Olavsson) was king of Viken (Vingulmark and Ranrike). He was the son of Olaf Haraldsson, king of Vestfold, and grandson of Harald Fairhair. According to Heimskringla, Tryggve ravaged in Ireland and Scotland, and performed Viking cruises in the West sea. In 946 king Håkon went north, and set Tryggve to defend Viken against enemies. He also gave him all that he could reconquer of land in Denmark, which the summer before, king Håkon had subjected to payment of taxes to Tryggve. Tryggve was killed by Eirik Bloodaxe's son Harald Greyhide as part of Haralds effort to re-unite all of Norway under his rule. Tryggve's son, Olaf Tryggvason, later became king of Norway, and his daughter Ingeborg Tryggvasdotter married Ragnvald Ulfsson, the earl of Västergötland and later the ruler of Staraja Ladoga. | HARALDSSON, Olaf (I1243)

| 269 | Ulf the Earl From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Ulf Jarl) Jump to: navigation, search Ulf, or ULF Jarl, was a Danish earl, in Scandinavia known as a jarl. As a Viking chieftain he particiopated in Cnut the Great's conquest of England as one of his most entrusted men. He married Cnut's sister Estrid Svendsdatter and from c. 1024 he became his appointee as regent of Denmark, probably as the guardian of Cnut's young son Harthacnut. After Ulf joined Olaf II of Norway and Anund Jacob of Sweden in a coalition against Cnut, Cnut had him killed in Roskilde. He was the father of Sweyn II of Denmark, King of Denmark from 1047–1074.[1] [edit] Biography Ulf Jarl was the son of Thorgils Sprakalägg, who is claimed to have been the son of Styrbjörn the Strong, a scion of the Swedish royal house, by Tyra, the daughter of king Harald Bluetooth of Denmark. However, Thorgils' parentage may have been invented to glorify the royal dynasty founded by Ulf's son, Sweyn Estridson. Ulf joined Cnut the Great's expedition to England. In c. 1015, he married Cnut's sister Estrid[2] and was appointed the Jarl of Denmark, which he ruled when Cnut was absent. He was also the foster-father of Cnut's son Harthacnut. When the Swedish king Anund Jakob and the Norwegian king Saint Olaf took advantage of Cnut's absence and attacked Denmark, Ulf convinced the freemen to elect Harthacnut king, since they were discontented at Cnut's absenteeism. This was a ruse on Ulf's part since his role as the Harthacnut's guardian would make him the ruler of Denmark. When Cnut learnt of what had happened in 1026, he returned to Denmark and with Earl Ulf's help, defeated the Swedes and the Norwegians at the Battle of the Helgeå. Ulf's assistance did not, however, cause Cnut to forgive Ulf for his coup.[3] At a banquet in Roskilde, the two brothers-in-law were playing chess and started arguing with each other. The next day, the Christmas of 1026, Cnut had one of his Housecarls kill Earl Ulf in Trinity Church, the predecessor of Roskilde Cathedral. However, accounts contradict each other. Ulf was the father of Sweyn Estridson, and thus the progenitor of the royal house that would rule Denmark from 1047 to 1375.

Lawson, Cnut: England's Viking King (2004), p. 94, says that the identification of Ulf with the husband of Estrith (Estrid) is commonly made but not certain. 3. ^ Havhingsten fra Glendalough: The battle of the throne of England | JARL, Earl in England under-King in Denmark Ulf (I222)

Lunge was born in Denmark in 1486. During the reign of Frederick I of Denmark, he was sent to North Norway to force the region to comply with the new king. However, Lunge was forced to accept the strict requirements of the riksråd - no foreigners were to be captain of a fortress or lord of a fief, and all the king's orders and arrangements were declared invalid until he had signed the coronation charter. In 1528, Lunge acquired the Cistercian monastery of Nonneseter near Bergen.
