Family Skarpenberg



Spøttrup

Gotskalk Skarpenberg
Gotskalk Skarpenberg was of a German noble family from Pommern or Mecklenburg, he came to Denmark together with Valdemar Atterdag. He was also known as a sørøverridder (pirate-knight). He was an ungovernable and violent man , but clever and enterprising; he served the Swedish king Magnus Smek for a period and became høvedsmand (vasal/chief) at Bohus. He was accused of outrage, returned to Denmark and inherited in 1360 Spøttrup in Salling and Lund at Mors after his father-in-law Niels Bugge. Lund was fortificated at that time. Gotskalk entered the alliance with other Jutland magnates and the Holstein grever against the king, who had to negotiate with them and accept. Gotskalk was appointed høvedsmand at Hornborg (Hindborg).

Dansk Biografisk Lexicon

(forfædrelinie IV, 2.g.a.)

Gotskalk Skarpenberg was married to Lisbeth (Elisabeth/Else) Nielsdatter Bugge of Hald


Johan (Henneke) Skarpenberg (m. 1389-1421)
rigsråd, from German nobility - the same family as Sharffenberg - he was a son of Gotskalk Skarpenberg of Hald and Else (Lisbeth/Elisabeth) Nielsdatter Bugge. Before he became a ridder (knight) he called himself Heine or Henneke Skarpenberg. He is mentioned for the first time in 1389 in a thing's witness of Nørreherred at Mors, and in 1395 his name is among the several forlovere in the agreement at Lindholm; he is also mentioned when his mother sold Hald to queen Margrethe.

When he became a knight it probably happened at the feasts of the king-election in Kalmar in 1397. At the same time he got a seat as rigsråd in Rigens Råd (State Council) , for during the next 20 years he is mentioned as a witness in a large amount of public and private documents. He seems to be present at the agreements in Flensborg 1405, 1412 and 1413, at the negotiations with the Ditmarsks in 1409 and at the agreement in Kolding in 1411. He must be the Skarpenberg who in 1409 accompanied queen Margrethe to Gottorp and here discovered and warned the queen against a planned treason from hertuginde Elisabeth's side.

In 1410 he was one of the leaders of the 8000 men, king Erik sent to Friesland, he was taken prisoner in the battle at Sollerup Mark and had to pay a considerable ransom of 10.000 mark. From his vasalries is known Trøjborg (1405) and Skive with Hindborg, Rødding, Nørre and Harre herred, which he had as a pawn in 1407. He owned Spøttrup in Salling, Lund at Mors, Utterslevgård at Lolland, which he sold in 1401, and Tranholm, which he in 1406 sold to the Crown, and Højriis at Mors, which he in 1413 exchanged to Børglum Kloster.

The legend says that he lived in the manor Gammellund , but had to leave the country and lost his estates because he - after in vain having complained to the king - killed one of the king's vasals Peder Pykstrud, who had raped a young girl who was a daughter of one of Johan Skarpenberg's men. But in 1417 Johan Skarpenberg was still a rigsråd and he was dead in 1421. So the legend seems to be just a legend or maybe overdramatized rumors. He was buried in Viborg Cathedral which would have been impossible if the legend was true. His estate at Mors and in Salling were for a long time after his death royal vasalries which suggests that the legend might have some truth in it. Half the truth? He seems to have been of a violent nature like his father, the canons of Ribe banned him in 1405, because he when vasal at Trøjborg had assaulted Løgumkloster.
Johan Skarpenberg was married to fru Eibe (Limbek) who still lived in 1427 .
Thiset Dansk Biografisk Lexicon

(forfædrelinie IV, 3.g.a. og 4.g.a.)
Johan Skarpenberg had a daughter, Inger Hennekesdatter Skarpenberg, who was married to Herman Flemming of Knudstrup, a son of Peder Flemming in Sweden.

Their youngest son was chancellor Niels Kaas of Tårupgård. Niels Kaas (1535-94) was the leader of the Councellor government, which took over the management, when Frederik II died at Antvorskov 4/2-1588, since the son Christian IV was only 11 years old the week after his father's death. Kaas became the king's chancellor in 1570 just before the Nordic Seven Year's war ended. He replaced Johan Friis. Niels Kaas took over (officially) the office as chancellor in 1573. He was a learned man, who contrarily to Johan Friis and rigshofmesteren Peder Oxe was not that standsbevidst (= he was not a snob). He was not interested in personal advantages either, like grabbing estate. Christoffer Valkendorf became rentemester (economy). The regency managed wisely Denmark and Norway, kept peace with all neighbours, saved instead of starting a lot of things, enlarged the navy, and Niels Kaas had a reputation of being honest, loyal and of a high moral standard. He was also titled arch dean in Roskilde. He died in 1594, 69 years old.

Ancestral Line II

1. g.:

Christoffer II ( 1276, d.1332) with a lady of the nobility-family Lunge (see I)

2. g.:
Regitze Christoffersdatter, m. to Peder Stigsøn Krognos of Krabberup at Kullen (n. 1354-65) from an ancient skånsk (Scania) - family, a son of Stig Pedersøn Krognos of Togæthorp (ment. 1327, d. 1353), who was a son of Peder Holgersøn. 2 of Regitze's sons were killed in 1359 in Middelfart together with Niels Bugge.

In Danmarks Adels Årbog 1906, page 492, is a change in the genealogical table in Danmark Adels Årbog 1893, page 272; in 1906 is pointed out that Gregers Pedersen Krognos from chronological reasons impossibly can be a son of Peder Stigsøn Krognos and Regitze Christoffersdatter Løvenbalk, but that he is a father's brother of Peder Stigsøn Krognos, i.e. that he was a brother of Peder's father Stig Pedersen Krognos.

Regitze and Peder had the son Stig Pedersen Krognos, who was married to Eva Olufsdatter Godov (a Holstein family). Their son was Oluf Stigsen Krognos the Rich (d. 1426) , who was married to Ellen Axelsdatter Thott, (d. 1421) , who was a daughter of Axel Pedersen Thott of Herlev and Katarina Axelsdatter Krognos, so now we are both in the family Thott and Krognos; the family Thott is also in the ancestral line IV, where Christence Axelsdatter Thott (ment. 1419), who was a daughter of Axel Jepsen Thott of Sørup and Else Christiernsdatter Vendelbo, was married to hr. Oluf Andersen Lunge of Odden. (ment. 1420-73) (see ancestral line V).

But the line back to hr. Gregers Pedersen Krognos is still intact, so I'll continue as it is in the old family-book:

3. g.:

Hr. Gregers Pedersen Krognos of Vidskøfle, who is mentioned in 1355 and was killed in a rebellion against king Valdemar.

4. g.:

Hald, Nørre Vosborg, Hegnet

foto from Hald: kai bachmann, sept. 1999

Hald
Castle
Dollerup sogn, Nørlyng herred, Viborg amt.

We are able to follow the history of Hald back to the 14th century - but hardly further back in time. Several Danish legends has got tales about the manor, but they are only legends. The manor is known to us in history from the beginning fo the 14th century. The manor was probably owned by Ludvig Albertsen Eberstein (+ 1328), whose daughter Margrethe sold her part of her inheritance to her brother Peder Ludvigsen Eberstein, which was confirmed by the king in 1346. But already the year before had Peder Ludvigsen pawned his parts in Hald to Niels Bugge of Nørre Vosborg, and in 1346 he sold the manor and the estate to him.

Niels Bugge was one of this period's richest and most powerful noblemen. He built the strong borg (castle) at Hald which is mentioned in ta famous Danish folk song:

Hr. Bugge han bygger Hald op med ære
han agter den ikke i fremmed mands være
De ride så frit gjennem Danmark.


Although Niels Bugge owned other farms and manors in Denmark , i.e. the West Jutland Nørre Vosborg, his name is especially connected to Hald. It was very likely from Hald that he in the 1350s led the big rebellion of the dissatisfied Jutland nobility against Valdemar Atterdag. Niels Bugge might not only have been the richest nobleman of the kingdom, he was also the most authoritative man of that time. He dared to oppose the king. This resulted in king Valdemar's siege of Hald. This is also mentioned in the folksong, where he says " that the king can make as much trouble he wants, he'll just wait for him at Hald. Valdemar says that he has heard that Niels Bugge has built a building so strong that no arrows nor catapults can conquer it, and Niels Bugge then tells the king that he will be able deal with the siege and to stay at Hald for nine winters! " Well, so much for the folk-song. Niels Bugge succeeded in keeping his independence. The king had to leave with without having achieved anything , and upon the big Danehof (Danish Court) in Nyborg in 1354 the reconciliation took place between Valdemar Atterdag and the Danish people, but this did not last. Soon the dissatisfaction flared up again.

In December 1358 and granted safe passage Niels Bugge went together with two other noblemen to Slagelse in order to reach a settlement with the king. But no reconciliation was arranged and already in January 1359 the noblemen left the king empty-handed. Their passage home was disrupted in Middelfart where they were murdered. Some fishermen of the town assaulted and killed them. Was it something the king had ordered? It is not possible to make this out, it is only possible to guess and then furthermore note that the king solemnly disclaimed the responsibility for the murder. The residents of the houses in Vestergade in Middelfart, where the perpetrators lived, had to pay a yearly tax or blodpenge (blood money), the socalled Buggespenge, which was paid up till 1874, more than 500 years later.

In his second marriage with Ingeborg Pedersdatter Vendelbo Niels Bugge had a daughter Lisbeth, who married the Mecklenburg-Ridder (knight) Gotskalk Skarpenberg who for a period had served the Swedish king Magnus Smek and also was høvedsmand (military chief) at Båhus. With his marriage to Lisbeth he achieved Hald, but he soon sold it to the king, Valdemar Atterdag, who did not pay it at once/at all! Actually it was queen Margrethe I who paid the purchase price to fru Lisbeth and her son Johan (Henneke) Skarpenberg of Gammellund and Højriis. (NB: and Spøttrup)

Nørre Vosborg
Ulfborg parish, Ulfborg herred, Ringkøbing amt.

Among the many borge/castles which appeared during the Middle Ages in West Jutland - up north from Limfjorden and down south to Kongeåen - Vosborg was one of the earliest in Danish history. It was originally built southwest of the present manor and close to the delta where Storåen (river) runs out in Nissum Fjord. The name Vosborg comes from oldnordisk óss meaning åmunding (mouth of the å). While the first manor Oseborg was placed north of the water stream, the ladegård (farm building) was placed south of the water, and between them was a valuable salmon-farm. The outflow of Storåen moved later longer to the north and the voldstedet ( the castle bank) is situated at a rest of the old water stream, Gammelå. It is noted that there were foundations from a very large four winged building with a tower, and the legend tells much about a castle which the mighty Niels Bugge of Hald let build by an English master builder at this place which he was said to have inherited from his father, Bugge Nielsen of Hegnet.

As known and before mentioned Niels Bugge was killed in Middelfart in 1359. His widow Ingeborg Pedersdatter (Vendelbo) outlived him for many years and owned Vosborg for a period, possibly until 1388, where she distributed estate after hr. Niels. From his numerous estate Vosborg, Støvringgård and Lindholm (Lundholm?) ( and a long gone by sanddrift destroyed manor at Skagen) came to his daughter Eline (Ellen), who was married to marsk Christiern Vendelbo, who owned many Jutland manors. All their daughters were married to men from the best aristocratic Danish families, the daughter Ingeborg Christiernsdatter Vendelbo of Vosborg was married to the widower Predbjørn Podebusk of Egholm at Zealand. And thus came Vosborg to the family Podebusk for many years.

Hegnet
Tøndering parish, Harre herred, Viborg amt.

Hegnet was the main manor during seven generations for one of Denmark's most powerful herreslægter (nobility families) . The home place of the Skeel-family was the land between Kolding and Vejle, but as soon as in the first decades of the 1500s the main line of the family left and went north to the Viborg-Randers-area from where the Skeel-family and their descendants up til the present have been the owner of much estate . The very first estate they got up here in the north was Hegnet in Salling.

But this old Salling-manor does not parade venerable or imposant buildings, although it is the oldest in this part of the country. Bugge Nielsen was the owner of Hegnet in 1332, he was the father of the mighty Niels Bugge of Hald and without any doubt one of the greatest Danish landowners. It is said that he was killed by Erik Brune Banner of Sønder Elkær at Lyby kirke. From the same period is probably "fru Bolde of Hegnet" who is among the family-members for whom Albret Andersen Skeel via a deed of gift established masses for their souls at Tøndering kirke 11 July. Fru Bolde's sister's son's daughter's daughter fru Kirsten Krag brought the manor to her second husband Anders Skeel. Her first husband was Peder Hase of Vellumgård who died ab. 1425.
