The swedish King Karl Gustav X ordered his forces, headed by General Wrangel, to invaded Jylland from the south early in 1658. They took Fredriksodde fortress and from there marched across the ice (an unprecedented feat, possible only because of the unusual cold) to the island of Fyn, and hence on to Lolland and then Sjælland. That meant that København was open to attack; which forced the Danish government to sue for peace, and in the resulting "Peace of Roskilde" (February 1658) Denmark lost its provinces Skåne (Scania) and Blekinge, the district of Bohus, Trondheim (in Norge/Norway), and the island of Bornholm.
As the sea-ice prevented any communication with Bornholm, no one there knew of this incredible turn of events. Not until April 16, when the icebroke and a fishing-boat from Skåne brought the news did the Bornholmers realize that they, without being asked, had been made Swedish by the stroke of a feather-quill! On April 29 the new Swedish Colonel (Oberst)& Commandant, Johan Printzensköld, landed with 120 Musketeers and began exploring their new province; all the while preparing the Bornholmers fortheir new nationality.
By May 18, 1658, delegates had been chosen to make a journey to Malmö and stand before Corfits Ulfeld and swear allegiance to the Swedish King. The delegates included Hans (Pedersen) Kofoed and his cousins: Mads Kofoed Madsen (c.1616-before 1665) of Eskesgård, Hans Kofoed Olufsen(1625-1694) of Blykobbegård, and Peder Kofoed Madsen (c.1622-1688) of Svaneke.
When the Swedes, despite the recently signed peace treaty, renewed their attach on Denmark a group of Bornholmer decided that now was the best chance for rebellion. Due to their quick and decisive actions on December 8, 1658, they succeeded - for more detailed information on the uprising see the entry for Hans Kofoed's brother Jens Pedersen Kofoed (1628-1691). After the rebellion Hans Pedersen Kofoed was instrumentalin the writing, and was a co-signer, of Bornholm's declaration off idelity to Denmark, which was sent to King Frederik III on January 19,1659 after the uprising against Sverige/Sweden.
Bornholm genealogist and historian M.K. Zarthmann tells in his book "Rønne City and Citizen" (1927), that Hans Pedersen Kofoed is mentioned in 1658 as a customs-officer (tolder) and alderman (rådmand) in Rønne, and in 1673 as mayor (borgmester). Further, Hans Kofoed was the first mayor appointed by the now "Absolute Monarch" since November 23, 1670. Up to that time there had long been great discontent with the earlier self-appointed alderman-governmet, which consisting of the city's property-owners and ship-owners.
Unfortunately, Hans Kofoed did not live up to expectations, for on December 4, 1672, a judgement was handed down on him by Bornholm's UpperHouse of Parliament ". . . for voldelig retskrænkelse at stande i Kongens naade og unaade" (. . . for puposely violating the law (he) stands before the King's clemency and disfavour)! The Supreme Court allowed him on July 17, 1673, release to ". . . afbøde det stedfundne Retsbrud, gjøre Landsdommeren en Afbøn, og udrede Sagsomkostninger, Kost og Tæring" (. .. remedy the Breach of the Law, render the Chief Justice a Plea, and give payment of Expenses, Wages and Consumption). In spite of all this, he did not lose his mayorial office, but rather occupied it until his death sometime between 1673 and 1678.

On the previous losses of Danish territories during the lifetime of HansPedersen Kofoed:
The Swedes had declared war on Denmark in 1643, invaded Jylland and Skåne and on June 29, 1644 defeated the Danish fleet. In the resulting "Treaty of Brömsebro" of 1645, Denmark ceded to Sverige/Sweden the provinces Jämtland and Härjedalen, the islands Ösel and Gotland, and the province Halland - the latter for thirty years (however, it was never returned). The old territory of Skåne now comprises the counties (läns) of Malmöhus and Kristianstad.
