A descendant of Skjalm Hvide (supporter pf Esbern Valdemarerne), whose nickname comes of his courage and decisiveness inbattle while on the "vendertogterne" (Vend expedition). He builtKalundborg Castle (circa 1150) and Church. The church dates from circa 1170, and is arctitecturally unique with its four corner-towers and onelarge central-tower, built in the shape of a cruciform. There is notanother like it in northern Europe. Gave to his wife Sorø Abbey two other church-towns, Munke-Bjergby and Bromme. Esbern is the first known squire (herremand) for Sæbygård (nearTissø), in Sæby parish, Holbæk county, Sjælland. Tradition states thathe died there, after falling down some stairs.
