    There is no known documentation on the identity of Oluf Ottesen Uf's wife. Much speculation has ensued over who it is that Peder Hansen Uf and his wife Mette Hansdatter were the owners of Fuglsangsgård, 6' Vdg. Ibsker, in 1574. Sigvard Mahler Dam speculates in his article "Landsdommer-Patriciatet på Bornholm", part 1, (published in SAXO, 1987), that the position of chief justice on Bornholm was kept as an inherited family position by a small clique of Freemen families during the 1500s; and so he speculates that Oluf's wife might be the daughter of Hans Myre. This would also explain how his grandson Peder Hansen (Uf), and his wife Mette, managed to inherit the majority of the Myre-family's farms. A court document concerning a dispute over Fugslangsgård dated June 15, 1582 states that Mette Hansdatter was an heir of Hans Myre (died 1518). - Norman Lee Madsen, June 11, 2005.

    Question: How is it that the Uf-family came into the possession of the Myre-family farms? Mette Hansdatter and her husband Peder Hansen Uf hada pew-door made which dipicts two arms: "a shield with an upside down chevron (gavlsparre) design, and the other shield sporting a half lobster-claw (hummerklo). . ." And further, it appears that Jørgen Gagge and his wife Margrethe/Merete had a memorial made to honour her parents, Peder Hansen Uf and Mette Hansdatter. In 1601 they had cast a large church-bell (which later disappeared) for Klemensker Church. Laurids de Thurah states (in "Omstændelig og tilforladelig Beskrivelse over Bornholm og Christiansøe", 1756) that the large bell displayed two shields: one with a chevron (Sparre), the other with a pike's jawbone (Giedde Kieft). The Uf-family coat of arms displayed a chevron. This would seem to indicate that Mette Hansdatter's father's emblem displayed a pike's jawbone ("Giedde Kieft", a.k.a. "Hummerklo"). Yet, the Myre-family coat of arms displays 3 ants (3 myrer)!

    Conclusion: The fact that Margrethe Pedersdatter (the wife of Jørgen Gagge) came into the possession of the Myre-family farms places a great deal of weight in favour of one or the other of Margrethe's parents being a close relative (descendant?) of Hans Myre (died 1518) of Fuglsangsgård. Evidently Hans Myre's three sons all died without maleissue, so their estates would have gone to their daughters; and if any of the brothers did not have any children, then their heirs would have been one of their own siblings or the children of their siblings. The assertion that the coat of arms, on the Klemensker pew-door and church-bell, were dedicated to the parents of Peder Hansen Uf and his wife Mette Hansdatter points to Mette being the daughter of Hans Pedersen and his wife (Anne Hals and Poul Olsen's daughter) of Bjergegård in Vestermarie parish. So, possibly it is Margrethe's father Peder Hansen Uf who is the connection to the Myre-family? We have no information on the identity of either Peder Hansen Uf's mother nor Hans Olfusen Uf's mother. Either of these two women would provide a direct route by which Peder Hansen Uf and Mette Hansdatter (and later their daughter, Margrethe, and grandson Claus Gagge) obtained the Myre-family estate-farm, Fuglsangsgård. It must also be noted here that the gravestone of Truid Hansen Myre's wife in Olsker display's the "Geddekæft" image; so she is likely a relative of Laurids Pedersen and Hans Pedersen! Yet another close family connection for Peder Hansen Uf and Mette Hansdatter to the Myre-family! - Norman Lee Madsen, June 11,2005.

    Extracted from "Landsdommer-Patriciatet på Bornholm, Del II" (The Chief Justice Patriciate on Bornholm, Part II), by: Sigvard Mahler Dam (SAXO,1988):

    Peder Hansen (Uf):

    Once again a member of the Uf-family is back in the judge's seat. TheUfs were coming on strong. In 1562 Henning Gagge had been replaced asbailiff by the former chief justice Mogens Uf. It seems the brothersOluf and Peder Hansen (Uf) took a great interest in the law; since 1552they had been active in the Landsting, and took part in various cases -some of which, of coarse, pertained to their own family. And now, onceagain, a new chief justice was needed and the appointment speaks foritself: on the 28th of March 1574 Johann Urne was appointed chiefbailiff, and he brought along with him a letter from the king concerningthe candidate for the judge's seat, which stated: "The king has learnedthat since Jacob Borringholm's death there has been no Landstinggathering, and therefore the people suffer under the bailiffs, who havenobody to answer to, but since Hans Persen (sic, Chancellery error!) isthought to be capable for this office, he is to be installed andestablish law and order".

    We can read all about the appointment in the letter the Lübeck bailiffsent home to the Lübeck council dated the 23rd of May 1574: "5 days ago anobleman came from Denmark, Johann Urne, who is to officiate over theecclesiastical jurisdictions. This nobleman has summoned 3 prominentpersons from every parish to a meeting at the tower in Klemen's Church(Peder Hansen was from Klemensker) and there they all gathered to witnessthe nomination of freeman Peder Hansen, officiated over by the noblemanon behalf of the king, as the new chief justice". At the end of theletter the Lübeck bailiff offers up a heartfelt sigh: "May he turn out tobe competent!"

    Peder Hansen was born in 1536 and died 60 years of age in 1596, a tabletwhich once hung in Klemen's Church stated this to remind thecongregation. His grandfather was Chief Justice Oluf Ottesen (Uf), andhis father's mother was possibly a sister of Chief Justice Jens Hansen(Myre). His wife, Mette Hansdatter, was a niece of Chief Justice LauridsPedersen; and his father's nephew was Chief Justice Mogens Uf.

    The colours of this old family's shield can still be seen on the couple'spreserved pew in Klemen's Church: a sinister red chevron on a whitefield, and on the helmet are 2 red vesselhorns; the wife's shield hasalready been described under Laurids Pedersen's entry. Peder Hansenapparently reversed the chevron in his shield to differentiate it fromthe emblem used by this brother Oluf Hansen, and his son Hans Olfusen -who was the "Lensmand" ( Feudal Lord) at Vardøhus (formerly employed bythe Royal Chancellery in København). (see note nr. 27)

    Peder Hansen (Uf) and family lived at Simlegård in Klemensker parish, afarm which still is one of the largest on Bornholm, and the family ownedvast estates. The couple had 2 daughters: Margrethe, who married JørgenGagge of Almegård in Knudsker parish; and Merete, married to Hans Grabowof Pederstrup, who came to Bornholm. The Uf-family estate was dividedbetween these two families, of which the Gagges are the only ones to stayon Bornholm, while Merete's stepson, Jochum Grabow, sold all his estateand moved away from the island. (see note nr. 28)

    (Note: I disagree with the above statement. I believe there was only onedaughter (known variously as: Margrethe, Marete, Merethe and Merete), whowas first married to Jørgen Gagge, then after his death was married toHans Grabow. - Norman Lee Madsen)

    Peder Hansen lived to experience the joyful moment of Bornholm's returnto Danish rule. Lübeck had wished to renew its lease on the island foranother 50 years. But the king protested vehemently, even though itappears that he had previously promised to agree to the extention.Manderup Parsberg came to Hammershus in 1576, but as he preferred to havean entailed estate on Jylland already by the 7th of July 1577 hetransferred his entailment to Mogens Gøie, and Peder Hansen was summonedto officiate on this occasion. Such summons were to be issued severalmore times, a show another side to the chief justice's duties: to upholdthe laws governing Hammershus fortress until a new commander arrived,receive him on behalf of Bornholm and brief him on the affairs of theisland. That same year, the 8th of August 1577, Peder Hansen receivedentailments on 13 farms in the ecclesiastical jurisdiction, withpermission to keep them for the duration of his term as chief justice.This is the first time that all the copyhold peasants were mentioned bytheir names: so that all the farms can be easily identified - and withonly a few exceptions they are the same farms which succeeding justiceswere entailed according to the land tax registry of 1598. Furthermore,the farms - which were tenant- (vornede) farms - were largely situated inthe very same parishes as the farms entailed to Chief Justice SevidNielsen in 1448, which might suggest that this farms were "inherited"along with the position.

    On the 27th of April 1580 Peder Hansen received a letter from the king tothe effect that he can freely reap the benefits of all his estates as hisparents before him. . . although his tenant-farmers had to deliver someof their harvest to Hammershus as they had done since Arild's time. Whyhe required this royal guarantee is not known.

    On the 13th of September 1583 a captain had stranded his boat near Nexø,but the trade-licensed citizenry would only salvage his cargo if theycould keep half as their salvage-fee. . . way more than was allowed undermaritime law. The king ordered the citizens to appear before the chiefjustice and three assistant judges, all belonging to the island's chiefjustice patrician families: Jens Kofoed of Kyndegård (a future chiefjustice, and Peder Hansen Uf's sister's stepson), Christen Clausen(Køller) of Hallegård (the father of a future chief justice, and marriedto Peder Hansen Uf's cousin), and Bendt Hansen of Vellensgård (the nephewof a previous chief justice: Laurids Pedersen, and the brother of PederHansen Uf's wife, Mette)!

    It was not always easy to pass sentences on the tempermental, hot-headedislanders, and on farmer, Morten Pedersen, had appeared several timesbefore the Landsting "and uttered numerous nasty swear words at the chiefjustice," and when Peder Hansen's judgement went against him, MortenPedersen became so enraged that inspite of grave warnings from theestate-holders and the bailiff, he finally attacked the justice while atthe Landsting, all the while shouting that the justice was a liar. Thejustice had to halt the proceedings, and Morten Pedersen was arrested andtaken to Hammershus to await court summons. His brother Hans andbrother-in-law H. Simonsen put up bail, so Morten was set free afterpromising to appear in court at the appointed time, but on the 23rd ofSeptember 1585 he failed to show up; and since he had probably fled theisland, his brother and brother-in-law were summoned to court in hisstead!

    On the 13th of April 1587 a new commander arrived on the island, andbefore his arrival the chief justice and Jens Kofoed were ordered toregister all inventory at Hammershus, to examine the fortress' state ofrepair and supply of military hardware, as well as the condition of theisland's forests, and finally to audit the land registry taxpayer booksand accounts

    By then Peder Hansen was 52 years old and wished to enjoy his retirementwithout too much trouble, so he stepped down from the chief justiceseat. His successor, who was appointed on the 25th of August 1588 issomeone we have already met: Jens Kofoed, a relative of Peder Hansen, whohad probably been given a good recommendation by his predecessor.However, the two of them continue to appear together officially, onlywith a roll reversal. For instance on the 28th of January 1594 whenCommander Falk Giøe died, and his widow was absen, both chief justiceJens Kofoed and Peder Hansen were summoned at once to Hammershus to"uphold the proper law of the fortress". Later that same year both ofthem were again summoned to Hammershus for the installation of the newcommander.

    During Jens Kofoed's time as chief justice, we find several cases wherePeder Hansen participates, often we see him at the Landsting whensentences had been appealed. During the 8 year period following hisretirement from the judge's seat we often find him acting as a witness onprivate deed documents, and he most certainly was always valued as anadviser.

    From the "Dansk adelsvåbner, en heraldisk nøgle", page 147, by Sven Tito Achen, Politikens Forlag, 1973, København:

    From "Danske adelige sigiller fra det 13. til 17. århundrede", XV. Tre Myrer, page 36:
    1. Myre, Hans v.: s. Hans Myre. 1518 Juli 14, Top. Sml. Perg. Vemmenhøg H.

    (Translation of above:)
    1. Hans v. Myre: Seal reads: Mr. Hans Myre; dated: July 14, 1518; Top. Collection Perg. Vemmenhøg district.

    "Uldall'ske Samlinger 479-4" states that in "Friderich Rostgaards Vaabenbog 1687-88", page 68, describes the family's arms differently: "I hvidt felt 3 røde myrer" (on a white field 3 red ants)!

    Hans Myre (mentioned in 1518) had three sons:

    (Note: according to Sigvard Mahler Dam, in "De bornholmske væbnerslægter Uf og Splid - noget nyt om deres våbener", pub. in Heraldisk Tidsskrift, 1982, Hans Myre died in 1518. In "Over hals og hoved", pub. in SAXO, 1991, Sigvard states that Hans Myre was mentioned in 1518, and dead before 1531.)

    1. Jens Hansen Myre. A document dated 1541 confures him the position of deacon (kannik) in Lund. On July 4, 1574 he sold Myregård (a.k.a. Lille Ølegård), 9' Vdg. Østermarie, and one farm in Klinteby, 20' Vdg. Ibsker, to Peder Oxe. He had a crookback (krogrygget) and died in Lund in 1575. Probably the same person as the Jens Hansen who was chief justice (Landsdommer) for Bornholm circa 1533, who placed his seal on an undated document (in 1533?) which was later presented in court in 1537 by Hans Borreby's widow Anne with regards to her dispute over the ownership of Myregård in Åker parish. In 1535 there was an unsuccessful uprising bythe Bornholmers against their Lübeck overlords, and the island's chiefjustice, a Jens Hansen of Nylars parish is said to have been involved. He probably owned "Myregaard" (later called Ågård), 2' Vdg. Nylars, a "frivornedegård" (free copyhold farm) - which is known to have been owned by Truid Myre. Some accounts state the he was executed by the Lübeckers- but the facts on this seem doubtful. Possibly Jens Hansen (Myre) fled the island, and took up the possition of canon in Lund? Possibly he is the father of Mads Kofoed's first wife Johanne (died circa 1547)?

    2. Truid Myre. He is named in a 1551 lawsuit in Malmö, and in 1555 in another lawsuit on Bornholm. He complained in 1558 to the king about "Lensmand" ( Feudal Lord) Lage Urne, who was not pleased at Truid having freeman status. Sought in 1552 to lay entire Arnager fishing village beneath his durisdiction, this attempt failed. On March 30, 1558 he was the spokesman for Bornholm's freemen to King Christian the 3rd regarding exemptions in payment of the land-assistance-tax (landehjælpeskat), the exemptions were denied. Was probably without any children, as his farms (Store Myregård, 5' Vdg. Olsker; Lille Myregård, 6' Vdg. Olsker; Lille Myregård, 11' Slg. Nylars; Store Myregård, 10' Slg. Nylars; Ågård, 2' Vdg. Nylars; Pæregård, 3' Vdg. Nylars) would later become part of Simlegård estate, which was owned by Peder Hansen Uf and his wife Mette Hansdatter. Truid Myre died "Allerhelgens aften" (November 1) 1574, and according to Sigvard Mahler Dam, his gravestone was placed in Olsker Church's entry hall (Ols kirkes våbenhus), and although worn the 3 ants of the Myre arms, with two vesselhorns on the helmet, can still be seen; also that the gravestone shows his wife's shield, which depicts "en halvbue med nogle spidser" (a crescent with several points), with vesselhorns on the helmet - otherwise known as the "hummerklo" (lobsterclaw) or "geddekæft" (pike's jawbone) arms of the Bjergegaard-family.
    (Sigvard speculates that she was the daughter of Hans Pedersen (-1537-1543-) of Bjergegård, 9' Vdg. Vestermarie, however it more likely to me that she was his aunt. - Norman Madsen, March 24,2003.)

    3. Peder Hansen Myre was a "Frimand" (Freeman), he inherited the family-farm, Fuglsangsgård, 6' Vdg. Ibsker. In 1547 he is known to have owned a farm in Vestermarie parish which was not numbered, it was referred to as "Peder Myhres gaard"; it was later known as Lille Vestergård or Fogedagerhuset. He also owned Lille Myregård, 1' Vdg. Åker. On September 6, 1572 a meeting was held by Bornholm's Parliament to establish who had the right to the status of "Frimand" (Freeman) on Bornholm; Peder Myre is named as being one of the 17 men in attendance at the "Frimandsmødet". Peder Myre died in 1572, and it appears that he had no sons; the Myre-family farm, Fuglsangsgård, went to Peder Hansen Uf and his wife, Mette Hansdatter. Various researcher have incorrectly stated that "Mette Hans Pedersens Datter" was the daughter of Hans Pedersen Myre- based only on the fact that Peder Hansen Uf and Mette owned Fuglsangsgård in 1574. A court document dated June 15, 1582 concerning a dispute over Fuglsangsgård states that Mette Hansdatter was an heir of Hans Myre (-1518-).

    The following has been extracted from a translation of the article "Landsdommer-patriciatet på Bornholm", part 1, by Sigvard Mahler Dam, published in SAXO, 1987:

    Jens Hansen:
    The Lübeckers helped King Frederik conquer Gotland, and thereafter demanded payment for their efforts and expenses in the war. So, on August 23rd 1525 the king sent an open letter to the inhabitance of Bornholm telling them that they had been mortgaged to Lübeck for the next 50 years!

    About this time a new chief justice appears, someone we do not know much about. A legend from 1625, which was revived in a Bornholm journal in 1804 (see note nr. 14), tells that the Lübeck commander, Bernt Knop, was ill treating the Bornholmers, which is why "Landsdommeren Hans Jenssøn I Nylarsker" travelled to see the king and complain. He returned with a royal order that they must take care of the commander on their own. So they gathered together a band at Egele, south of Åkirkeby, to fight against the Lübeckers, but they were defeated and many were slain; this event probably happened in 1536. Some stories tell us that the chief justice thereafter had his head chopped off.

    However, the tradition must have exchanged his given name with his patronymic, as can be seen from a high court document which display's his seal. In 1537 there was a fight over Myregård in Åker, and Hans Borreby's widow Anne came forth with a high court judgement, the document was sealed by Chief Justice "Jens Hansen", we can assume that this judgement must have been passed around 1533. (note 15) The insurrection against Lübeck was not in 1536, but in 1535. This might indicate that the chief justice's name was correctly Jens Hansen, and that he lost his position (possibly executed or fled?) because of his incitement of the uprising - as we know the exact date of the appointment of his successor (more on this later). Furthermore, this dramatic ending to his career (and maybe his life) meant that all his property was confiscated and placed under the juridiction of Hammershus - so we can not trace his descendants by seeing who were his heirs. The connection to Nylars parish might lead us to Store Myregård (10 Slg.), which is nearby to the small fishing village of Arnager, which the Myre-family, and especially Truid Myre of Myregård in Olsker, tried to take back from the Lübeckers. Which could mean that Jens Hansen was the brother-in-law of the earlier chief justice, Oluf Ottesen (Uf), and thus the son of Hans Myre of Klinteby in Ibsker parish. (note 16)

    The name "Jens" is quite commonly used by the Myre family. We might also conclude that Jens Hansen was the father of Mads Kofoed's first wife, Johanne, the mother of the later chief justice, Jens Kofoed; which would explain whom he was named after.

    If this hypotheses about Jens Hansen's origins is correct, it would appear that he was the last male descendant of the "gamle Myrer" (old Myre-family), which carried the arms depicting the three "myrer" (ants) on their shield. The "yngre Myrer" (younger Myre-family) was in fact a branch of the Kyrning family of Skåne, whose arms depict a star. Hans Myre's seal of 1513 shows a shield depicting three crawling ants, and a helmet with two vesselhorns. The colours of which are known from various publications about coat of arms: on a white background are three red ants and a helmet with two white vesselhorns. (note 17)

    Notes:
    6) "Bornholms Frimænd" by M.K. Zahrtmann in "Bornholmske Samlinger", volume 16, Rønne, 1920, pages 120-159, is a bit better, although still out of date. Some of the "Væbnere" (arms carriers) have been incorrectly documented, something easily avoided if the author had checked their seals. He insisted that it was impossible to trace a Bornholm Væbner-family over three generations, which is indeed nonsense. Further mistakes include Jacob Køller's arms (see later), where he states that Jacob carried the Brahe-family arms (which is displays a pole instead of a half fleur-de-lis!). Also, that Captain Anders Hansen (in the 1600s) belonged to the Lang-family (three oak-leaves), even though it had been over 100 years since the family had been on Bornholm, and that Anders Hansen carried a rose in his arms. A further mistake is that of Mette Hansdatter's arms (the wife of Chief Justice Peder Hansen Uf), he changed her half lobster claw (aka pike's jawbone) to one ant in order to make her fit into his faulty hypothesis, etc., etc.

    14) Dean Jens Pedersen's description of "some strange happenings on Bornholm", written in 1625, and printed in "Bornholmske Samlinger", volume 17, Rønne, 1926, page 65, provides the chief justice's name, and in P.N. Skovgaard's "Bornholms Beskrivelse", 1804, page 293, there is an authentic rendering of the dean's account from 1625. The decapitation was mentioned by Zarthmann (see note nr. 6) in 1920, page 140, source for this account unknown; later complaints by Bornholmers about the Lübeckers includes one from a peasant farmer that his brother, Hans Jensen, had been decapitated; if this was Zarthmann's source it seems very unlikely that such an event took place: peasants were not the targets, and furthermore, the chief justice's name was incorrect!

    15) "Det Kongelig Rettertings Domme. . . i Christian III' Tid", volume I, København, 1959, page 217.

    16) Several members of the Myre-family had renounced their family-name: among them were the brothers Esbern and Niels Truidsen of Klemensker parish from 1530-1542; farms named Myregård were not always owned by the Myre-family, as is commonly presumed, rather, some owed their name to the fact that they were adjacent to a "myr" (bog). For instance the Myregård in Åker parish never belonged to the Myre-family (as wrongly stated by Zahrtmann and others), but rather to the Bing-family of Skåne. Even in 1625 the adjacent bog was still known as "Bingsmyr"! While conversely, the farm in Klinteby (in Ibsker parish), which for many years belonged to the Myre-family, never went under the name "Myregård"; on the other hand later, when the farm was owned by the Gagge-family, it was called "Gaggegård" throughout the 1700s and 1800s census records!

    17) For Hans Myre's arms see "Danske Adelige Sigiller", by A. Thiset, L.XV. nr. 1. A photo of the seal (segl), and several details about the family, can be found in "Heraldisk Tidsskrift", nr. 46, October 1982, page 280. "Uldall'ske Samlinger 479-4", in the Royal Library, under "Friderich Rostgaards Vaabenbog 1687-88" on page 68 can be found the family's arms: "i hvidt felt 3 røde myrer" (on a white field 3 red ants); not black ants, as shown in "Nyt Dansk Adelslexicon" by Thiset & Whittrup (København, 1904), and in "Danske Adelsvåbner" by S.T. Achen (København, 1973). A slightly altered seal is shown in "Kall'ske Samlinger 124-fol", folio 70 (Royal Archives), but there we find only members of the later Myre-family who in reality was a branch of the Kyrning-family – perhaps they had inherited their separate seal from the maternal side? Thott'ske Samlinger 1104-2 (Royal Archive) under "Danske Adelige Vaabener med genealogiske kommentarer", folio 45, names the members of the later Myre-family ("Kyrning"), and shows their new arms: "i hvidt felt 3 blå bølger" (on a white field 3 blue waves)!

    Notater:

    Peder Myre resided on Fuglsangsgård in Klinteby, 6' Vdg. Ibsker,
    which he inherited on June 29, 1489 from his father Truid Myre. He is
    identified in a probate hearing, along with
    his half-sister Karine, which secured their ancestral rights to
    Fuglsangsgård. He probably also obtained 20' Vdg. in Klintby at the
    same time. Source: Zahrtmann's pedigree of the
    Myre-family, also using information from Hübertz, nr. 18.
