Rosenkrantz, Erik Ottesen, - 1503, to Bjørnholm, seneschal, the son of Otte Nielsen Rosenkrantz (d. 1477). At a young age he attained high positions, as he well proved completely grown up, but that hardly would be tilfaldne him so fast if he had not had a mighty support in her father's reputed name. Already in 1449, when he mentioned for the first time (he got when various favors by the pope), he was a knight; 1452 seems Rosenkrantz as a statesman and as a bailiff, even as Holder of several Len, among which, as far as can be seen, was Skanderborg Castle. And in 1456, probably at the age of approx. 30 years, he became the kingdom grandest secular Officials, at he time between 31 May and 3 July replaced Niels Eriksen Gyldenstierne as seneschal, an office, he then coated in a long series of years, even in October 1480 can Rosenkrantz with safety demonstrated by its proprietor, he therefore probably at least have been just to Christian I's death or for about 25 years. Throughout this period shall be his name again and again. In relation to the rest of the world he is mentioned already in 1456 the negotiations on Borgholms Surrender, 1457, he was on the train to Sweden, where Christian I was taken to the king in 1460 medbeseglede he Privileges in Ribe of Schleswig and Holstein in 1462 and 1469, took Rosenkrantz an effective part in Negotiations with Hanseater in Copenhagen, in 1464, he headed a legation to Prussia and played P. A. one role at the meeting where the Archbishop Jøns Bengtsson of Upsala humbly asked King Christian forgiveness. His marriage had brought him increased prosperity, at his wife Sophie, who was the daughter of Henrik Knudsen Gyldenstierne (VI, 373) and the 'haughty' Anne Mogensdatter Munk, and with whom he had married in 1456, after his mother's death inherited Boller . End continue owned Mr. E. Skjern Middelsom Hundred and, as far as can be seen, Elvedgård on Funen and perhaps also Møgelkjær in Jutland, on the whole, he has probably heard of his time richest men. - He was endowed with Skanderborg Castle (presumably at least 1452-88) and Byfogediet in Randers (at any rate, 1467-94); Hassens and, as it seems, Stenmark, both of which already had been in his father's possession, he had to pledge. Neither can be mentioned as his pawn: Middelsom Shire (which in 1495 by the Crown was left with his son Jørgen Rosenkrantz, but fell back to Mr. E. Rosenkrantz, as this survived the Son), Sønderlyng District, rinds Shire (which last, however, in 1497 the mortgage was set his son-Predbjørn Podebusk) and the so-called Ranes Gods in Kalø Len (as another of his sons in law, Jørgen Rud, 1495 received in pledge). The EO has nurtured historical interests, is shown in a still preserved Krønnikehaandskrift, as he made depreciate. Like his father, he was a pious man, whose generosity several Monasteries persuade him well, very special, however, the Abbey at whose church he built a chapel, in a building in the neighborhood, he spent his last life and after his death he found a temporary resting place in the Abbey Church. Aside from the more outward piety that shows up in the implied Gifts for clergy Foundations, you will meet also drag with him to witness a beautiful moral conception of life, and his whole personality has evidently in an uncommon degree been fitted to instill esteem. In a witness of Viborg Parliament in 1474 states that he had offered to stand any to reason that might have something to complain about him, but that no such attendance in parliament, whereas those assembled thanked him "honor and good." And a posthumous reputation who falls in many Lod, he gets in a Chronicles from the first half of the 16th Century, which states that "he was like a father to Denmark, his Mage and Just so we do not than honor, virtue, piety, and in all good Modalities'. Rosenkrantz died 7 January 1503, after he already had partially changed with his children, his wife, he had lost the 1487th Barner, Fam. Rosenkrantz's Hist. I-182 et seq.
