- His widow Ingeborg, named Fru Ingeborg of Kalundborg, was on Kalundborg castle for 20 years after his death as the mighty Frue (lady of the castle) and showed to be a benefactor of Sorø. With consent from her kinsmen, among those her half brother, duke Knud, she conveyed all her estate in Bringstrup and Ørslev in 1250 to Sorø. Likewise she gave gifts to Århus Cathedral in the honour of The Holy Niels.
In 1247 most of Sorø Kloster (the Kloster built by Absalon) burnt down, and about 10 years later fru Ingeborg gave a big gift to the Kloster, which made the monks able to have stone vaults built in the church and thereby prevent further fires. The first village church Esbern Snare let build was Ubby in 1170 and already shortly after 1200 it was rebuilt - maybe by his daughter, fru Ingeborg.
During the tension between the Danish crown and duke Erik Abelsen, Ingeborg's son Anders, who first was Abel's marsk, positioned himself on the duke's side. He was seen in the duke's entourage after his victory in Lohede in 1261. The Hvide-family had a strong connection to the Abel-line and a big part of the family gave its support, but the Abel- line lost the battle of the Danish crown to Kristoffer I. This must have been considered a treason against the crown,and Ingeborg was driven away from Kalundborg by Erik Glipping the next year (1262) and died in Hedeby, Schleswig in 1267.
Ingeborg's sister Cæcilie was mother-in- law to Lave Gudmundsen, who was convicted for the murder of Erik Plovpenning in 1252. After a period of 100 year's alliance between the Hvide-family and the royal power the whole thing had begun eroding.
