- It is possible that Jens Hansen Sode's forebearers originated in
Bohemia. However, as the church records for that region and era were
burnt during the wars of middle europe, further research is impossible.
Jens had previously lived in Halland province. He graduated from Lund
University in 1620. Another source tells us that Jens Hansen Sode became
headmaster of the latin-school in Rønne. In 1627 he became a clergyman.
According to Julius Bidstrup (in "Personalhistorisk Tidsskrift," 1944,
København, pages 97-99) Jens Hansen Sode "seems to have come from (the
then Danish province of) Skåne." Unfortunately he did not reveal his
source for this assertion. However, in general this is supported by the
matriculation records of København University - in a record dated April
13, 1629 states that a "Janus Johannis Alanus Sode" graduated from the
Landskrona school. He first held the position of rector for Rønne's
latin-school, afterwards was parish clergyman for Hasle and Rutsker from
1632 until his death. He owned Krogholm, 32' Slg. in Rutsker parish from
1644 until his death in 1654.
A "communiceret" in the Åker-Åkirkeby provides us with Jens Hansen Sode's
date of death in 1654: "13 Oct. '54, døde Hr. Jens Hansen Sode i Ryscher
Sogn." In 1654 plague killed 133 in Hasle and 230 people in Rutsker
parish. It is notable that four of his sons, circa 1670, were clergymen
at the four Bornholm Round-Churches.
Though the name of his wife is not recorded, it is known that she was the
widow of Pastor Mikkel Olufsen, the previous clergyman for Rutsker parish
from 1613 until his death. This places their marriage date at circa
1632. It seems likely that her name was Margrethe, as we know that six
of her children (Hans, Jacob, Karen, Jørgen, Claus, and Martha) named
either their first or second born daughters Margrethe. (Patronymic
possibly Jørgensdatter or Madsdatter?) In "Bolette Markers aner" it is
suggested that her name Margrethe Hansdatter Kofoed - but no evidence or
source is provided for this assertion. According to Stationmaster C.
Kragh's notes on the Sode-family she might have been the daughter of
Jørgen Jensen, a mayor from the town of Næstved on Sjælland.
The following speculation on the surname Sode by Gunnar Carlquist (1944,
Sweden), received from Finn Sode:
The uncommon surname "Sode" was used by a clergyman in Skåne, he is
mentioned first in the "hyllningsakterne" of 1584, and again in
1614-1615. This was the pastor for "Stødhave" (now called Stenhag, in
Onsjö district), named Jens Jacobsen Sode, who in 1584 signed himself
both as "Jens Jpss" and "Jens Sode," again in the "Hyllningsakterne" of
1610 as "Jens Jpss." From 1611 through 1614 in the "Lensregnskaberne"
records as "Hr. Jens Ibssön." And in the "Visitatsbogen" (Jfr.
Carlquist, Lunds stifts Herdaminne, Ser. I:73), written with his own hand
in 1619 as "Hr. Jenss," using a seal which states: "Slö (fatuus) og
försumlig". If this Jens Jacobsen Sode is related to Jens Hansen Sode
has not been determine with certainty. It is quite possible that they
are, mainly based on their uncommon surname: Sode.
A common way of choosing a surname (for outsiders) at that time was by
using the person's birthplace, but there is only one Danish town, in
Haderslev county in south Jylland, by the name of Sode - but there is no
evidence to support this as a place of origin. The name "Alanus" used by
Jens Hansen Sode at the time of his matriculation would seem to have been
borrowed from the well-known professor in the Greek language: Hans Jensen
Alanus (who came from the town of Ala in Halland province). A total of 3
students used the name "Alanus" besides "Janus Johannis Alanus Sode," one
was from Slagelse, and the third was also from Landskrona school. But
what of the origin of the surname Sode? It seems probable that it is a
long held family-name.
The above chronology of Jens Hansen Sode and Jens Jacobsen Sode does not
preclude their being grandson and grandfather. The Bornholmer pastor
Jens Hansen Sode was probably born between 1600 and 1605. The Stenhag
pastor Jens Jacobsen Sode was employed and probably already married by
1580. If you suppose that Jens Jacobsen Sode had a son named "Hans" born
around 1575, then this "Hans Jensen Sode" could be the father of the
Bornholmer pastor Jens Hansen Sode.
On the losses of Danish territories during the lifetime of Jens Hansen
Sode:
The Swedes had declared war on Danmark in 1643, invaded Jylland and Skåne
and on June 29, 1644 defeated the Danish fleet. In the resulting "Treaty
of Brömsebro" of 1645, Danmark 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).
Later Skåne, Blekinge, and Bohus, all Danish provinces for hundreds of
years, were lost to Sverige as a result of the "Peace of Roskilde",
signed in 1658. The old territory of Skåne now comprises the counties
(läns) of Malmöhus and Kristianstad.
On the history of the Lutheran Church in Danmark:
The Reformation penetrated the Scandinavian countries in the early
1500s. The introduction of Protestantism was supported by merchants and
peasants, and by devout priests who had become followers of Martin
Luther. King Frederik I (reigned 1523-1533), who became quite religious
in his later years, strongly promoted the establishment of the Lutheran
Church. He allowed the leading Danish religious reformer, Hans Tavsen,
to preach in the church at Viborg and ordered many Catholic churches in
the region destroyed, despite violent protests. It was King Christian
III (reigned 1534-1559), son of Frederik I, who established the state
Lutheran Church in Danmark. With the support of the Rigsrad - his
advising council of lay members - the king ordered all Catholic property
turned over to the crown and declared the Lutheran Church the national
church of Danmark with the king as its head. From 1660 to 1849, a period
of absolute monarchy in Danmark, all Danes were compelled to profess the
Lutheran faith.

Selv Stenhagspræsten er blevet helt forkert opfattet. Cavallin angiver
nemlig i sit herdaminne (III: 166) angående Stenhags ældste præster, at
"Sodius Jacobaeus bare var en gammel indskrift pastor härstädes 1584" og
angiver som dennes efterfølger "Jens Ipsen eller Sode, pastor härstädes
1584 och ännu 1610 samt troligen ännu några Aar senare". Den indskrift
Cavallin påberåber sig forefindes i "1768 års Prästrelation från Stenhag"
og lyder: "På en bondbänk i Stenhags kyrka indskr. Anno Do:ni 1582.
Pastor ecclesiae tum temporis erat Sodius Jacobij" Der er ingen tvivl om,
at Cavallin har gjort 2 personer ud af 1 og overset, at indskriften
tydeligvis gælder samme mand, som er kendt fra hyllningarna, regnskaber
og Visitatsbogen. Sodius Jacobij 1582, Jens Sode 1584, Jens Jpss 1584 og
Jens Ibssön 1611 -14 givetvis er samme mand. Om og i så fald på hvilken
måde Stehagpræsten Jens Jakobsen Sode har være beslægtet med
bornholmerpræsten Jens Hansen Sode har ikke kunnet fastslås, men at der
er en sammenhæng er sandsynlig. Dels kan der henvises til deres fælles, i
sandhed yderst almindelige fornavne og til at navnet Jakob genfindes
blandt bornholmer-præstens sønner, dels har som sagt begge underskrevet
sig med det underlige navn Sode.
Et vidnebrev fra Bara herred i Skåne, dat. 1529 (Falkman, Förteckning
öfver handlingar om Skåne, Halland och Blekinge i Danska Geheimearchivet,
Saml. 2: nr. 2242), er udfærdiget af tingshöreren Jens Sodæ! Det vil være
af stor interesse, om nogen kunne bidrage til dette spørgsmåls løsning!
At der er slægtskab mellem Stenhagpræsten og bornholmer-præsten er
imidlertid sandsynligt, men hvilket kan for tiden ikke afgøres.
