  Place of residence: Herremand i Fjenneslev Stormand boende i Fjenneslev. Gav ligesom sine brødre meget godt til Sorø klosters stiftelse. I Fjenneslev Kirke findes et kalkmaleri, der viser Asser Rig og hans hustru, der frembringer gaver til Gud. Han selve kirken og hun en guldring. Plejefader til Valdemar I den Store, da dennes far, endnu før han var født, blev myrdet. Asser Rig (Hvide) was a Squire (Herremand) and Grandee (Stormand/Høvding) residing in Fjenneslev. It was during his time that the Sorø Abbey (Sorø Kloster) was founded. In Fjenneslev Church can be seen a whitewash painting, which displays Asser Rig and his wife giving gifts to God: he himself giving the church, and her a gold ring. Asser Rig was foster-father to the murdered Danish nobleman Knud Lavard's son Valdemar. Born one week after the murder of his father, Valdemar grew up in Asser's home in Fjenneslev together with Asser's two sons Esbern and Absalon. Esbern became one of Valdemar's retainers. Absalon was made bishop of Roskilde, in 1158, largely as a result of Valdemar's putting in an appearance just when the canons were about to elect a new bishop. Later Absalon was made Archbishop of Lund in 1178. Absalon is credited as being the founder of Københaven (Copenhagen).
