| Notes |
- Ingeborg was a daughter of Esbern Snare and his third wife Helene. She was married to the respected drost and magnate Peder Strangesen. He was probably a son of Knud Valdemarsen's staller, Strange, and is already noticed in 1193 as being one of the king's noblest men. He seems to have learned courtly manners by the counts of Orlamünde and Gleichen. He had a sister Gro Strangesdatter, who was married to Knud. Their son Anders Grosen was married to Cæcilie Esbernsdatter.
During Valdemar 2. Sejr's ruling period his power grew even more, and next to Jacob Sunesen he was the most respected nobleman in Denmark. His marriage to a daughter of Esbern Snare contributed to this, as much as he inherited Esbern Snare's famous estate, Kalundborg, which Esbern had fortificated for Valdemar ab. 1170.
He was the 'Peder of Kalundborg' whom Valdemar 2. gave property on Femern, named Pedersdorf after him. Together with other magnates he worked in 1225 in order to have king Valdemar released from prison, and he guaranteed the agreement. Likewise he guaranteed the final agreement in 1230, where the young Valdemar-sons were released.
Peder Strangesen had a long dispute with Sorø Kloster. Esbern Snare's son Johannes, who was Valdemar II's Marsk, had on his deathbed in 1231 given Sorø the village Stenløsemagle with additions, but his brother Absalon Bælg kept the estate until shortly before his death in 1232. Peder Strangesen and his nephew Anders Grosen, who was married to another daughter of Esbern Snare, Cæcilia of Tersløse, would not acknowledge Sorø Kloster's right and appropriated the disputed estate in 1231. Although the church's judgment was against them they kept the property for life.
Nevertheless Peder Strangesen seemed to be of a religious disposition, at least in his final years.When Valdemar died in 1241, Peder went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, but just when he started his journey, he died in Ribe in 1241, ab. 71 years of age.
In his coat of arms were an eagle and a wolf, the same coat of arms later used by the Ulfeldt-family.
