Occupation: Land-owner (Proprietær)
The respected Bornholm historian Dr. M.K. Zarthmann (published in
1931) relates that Otte Pedersen Uf can be found mentioned in records
dating from 1493 and 1497 in which he is mentioned as the owner of
Skovsholm in Ibsker parish; and that it is thought that his wife was
a member of the Galen family. They are attributed as having had at
least four children:
1) Oluf Ottesen, Chief Justice (Landsdommer) of Bornholm from 1508 to
1522;
2) Peder Uf, "Kannik"(?) in Skåne, 1505;
3) Anders Uf, mentioned as "frænde" to Anders Galen in 1511, and
known to have been alive in 1533;
4) a daughter, given name unknown, married to Oluf Tuesen. (The word
"frænde" can mean either "friend" or "relative".)
Dr. Zarthmann attributes Gunhild Uf to be the "datterdatter"
(daughter's daughter) of Otte Pedersen Uf, thus making her the
daugher of Oluf Tuesen and the unkown Uf daughter. While in "1000
Aner til en Skovgårdsslægt", by Edvard Skovgaard, Gunhild Uf is
attributed to be the daughter of Anders Uf and Anne Sevidsdatter of
St. Kannikegård in Bodilsker parish; in 1449, as a wedding present
from her father Sevid Nielsen, they were given the ownership of St.
Kannikegård. This would mean that Edvard Skovgaard's Anders Uf must
have been at least 25 years old in 1449 (25 was the age at which a
man could own land in that era), and thus born before 1426. If he
was the same Anders Uf who was "frænde" to Anders Galen in 1511, then
he would have been at least 107 years old in 1533. It is probable
that Edvard Skovgaard has mistakenly attributed Anders Uf, the son of
Otte Pedersen Uf, to be the same person as Anders Uf of St.
Kannikegård. It has also been presented that Gunhild Uf and her
brothers are the children of Otte Pedersen Uf's son Anders Uf, rather
than that of his daughter and her husband Oluf Tuesen. Edvard
Skovgaard has lain out an ancestry for Anders Uf, of St. Kannikegård,
that leads back to the first King of a united Danmark: "Gorm den
Gamle", or Gorm the Elder, and his wife Thyra Dannebod. History says
that Thyra was the descendant of a long line of Kings in England,
dating back to 400 A.D. It is an accepted fact that the present
Queen of Danmark, Margrethe II, is a descendant of King Gorm; that
all of the Danish royalty since then have numbered among his
descendants. And thus through inter-marriage many of Europe's royal
families, including the British, are his descendants. Edvard
Skovgaard states that Anders Uf was the son of Otte Pedersen Uf (?-
after 1497) and ??? Galen. That ??? Galen was the daughter of Tuve
(Tue) Galen (before 1320-after 1400) of Næsbyholm in Skåne, who in
1345 was made a Knight (Ridder), in 1364 Marschall, and from 1376-83
was "Gældker" (Treasurer?); he married Ingefred Pedersdatter Urup on
April 15, 1345. She was the daughter of Peder Holmgersen Urup (?-
1378), who is a decendant of Cecilie - a daughter of King Knud
(Canute) the Holy (who was a gr-gr-gr-grandson of Gorm the Elder).
Edvard Skovgaard states they had five children. While in the
book "Nachkommen Gorms des Alten" (Descendants of Gorm) by Siegfried
Otto Brenner (published in 1978 by the Danish Genealogy Society),
Tuve Galen is said to be a descendant of Gorm, it does not list ???
Galen. He is recorded in that book as having four children:
Anders Galen (?-after 1399); Peder Galen (?-after 1400); Ingefred
Tuvesdatter Galen (?-1396) married to Johannes Absalonsen Ulfeldt (?-
1396); and ??? Tuvesdatter Galen married to Conrad Isenvorde
(Isenfurt) (?-1396/97), esquire in Skåne. It does NOT list a fifth
child: the un-named Galen daughter married to Otte Pedersen Uf. I
have not included Edvard Skovgaard's lineage of the Uf family in this
database for the simple reason I found the dates and connections to
be rather suspect. Working with those dates that were provided I
found that the un-named Galen woman must have been born between 1345
and 1380 (at the very latest!). As Edvard Skovgaard's Anders Uf was
alive in 1533, it is doubtful that he was born before 1426. Given a
limit to a woman's child-bearing years, by this calculation she could
not (by any stretch of the imagination) have given birth to a child
past 1430. This would mean that Anders Uf would have had to have
lived to at least 105 years old, and have been fathering children at
70-80 years old. Also, since Otte Pedersen Uf was still alive in
1497, it is doubtful he was born before 1400. Meaning that Otte
Pedersen Uf, at 20-30, would have been married to woman at least 20-
30 years older than himself. This whole senario is remotely
possible, but highly unlikely! The Anders Uf of St. Kannikegård was a
nobleman (adelsmand) and is described as a "Storbonde"; I am not sure
of the word's exact meaning, however: stor=great and bonde=farmer, so
I suspect it means he was the holder of large amounts of land farmed
by "vornedskabe" peasants. In the middle-ages the peasants had been
declared "vornedskabe" (bound), this meant that the descendants of
tenured peasants could be forced to stay on the "vornedegaard" they
were working, and it gave the owner of the farms the right to recall
a dead peasant's heir to take over working the land. By the 1500s
those tenured peasants who lived on manor-owned farms worked off a
portion of their taxes by service in the manor's fields. That said,
it is still possible that the Uf-family of Bornholm is descended from
Gorm; being as that they were of minor Danish nobility, and on
account of the nobility's tendancy to inter-marry amongst themselves.
They seem to have been connected to families, (i.e. the Galen-
family) known to be descended from Gorm; however, the possible
connection is far from certain and will probably remain that way! The
first member of the noble Uf-family to appear in Bornholm's
historical records was Hans Uf, who was appointed commander of
Hammershus fortress by his mother's brother Niels Jonsen, who was
Archbishop of Lund from 1361-1379. During a long winter stay at the
fortress the Archbishop died on February 5, 1379. Two days
previously he had written his testament, wherein he left to Hans Uf
his large gilded silver-horn and two silver cups, also 40 Marks in
silver to cover expenses for flour, malt, and other items used during
his stay. As well he received the rights to six dwellings in Listed
fishing-village, which he had had built for the Archbishop, and which
brought in 6 Marks silver in yearly rent. During Hans Uf's long term
of office he acquired land in the region north-west of Svaneke. The
Archbishop also thought of Hans Uf's daughter Cecilie, leaving her a
gold ring. She was later married three times, all of her husbands
were noblemen from Skåne. She outlived them all and in 1427 she
bestowed a gilded silver-chalice to Nyker Church, which is still in
use, it bears the Uf-family coat-of-arms - with its characteristic
truss (sparren) - and the inscription: "Madame Cecilie gave this
chalice to All-Saints Church, pray for my soul." This indicates that
the Uf-family had a home-farm in Nyker parish.
