In the book "Nachkommen Gorms des Alten" (Descendants of Gorm) bySiegfried Otto Brenner (published in 1978 by the Danish GenealogySociety), Tuve Galen is said to be a descendant of Gorm. The book listsfour of his children: Anders Galen, mention in records dating 1383through 1399; Peder Galen mentioned in 1400; Ingefred Tuvesdatter Galendied in 1396, married to Johannes Absalonsen Ulfeldt, died 1396; andun-named daughter married to Conrad Isenvorde (Isenfurt) who is mentionedin 1396 and 1397), esquire in Skåne.

Tue Galen was a Knight (Ridder) and Squire (Godsejer), and owner ofNäsbyholm in Skåne (now in Bunkefold parish, Oxie district, Malmöhuscounty). Tue Galen and Ingefred Pedersdatter Urup were married beforeApril 15, 1345. He was Marshal (Marskal) from 1364, and Gældker (Kongenshøjeste embedsmand = King's highest officer) in Scåne from 1376-1383.

In 1368 Valdemar leaves Denmark to his governor Henning Podebusk while hepursues support in Europe. Albrekt of Sweden attacks Skåne, takingcontrol of the north-west. He is supported by Tue Andersen Galen (nephewof Peder Jensen, the previous Archbishop), Anders Jakobsen Grim and HasseTuesen Galen. The war goes against Denmark. The cathedral compound inLund is conquered and Åhus is besieged. Archbishop Niels Joensen (Bild)flees to Bornholm.

In 1377 the Skåne knights Tue Galen and Anders Jakobsen declare forAlbrekt, along with Jakob Axelsen Thott, Peter Due and squire Jesse Tufe,in return for sums of money. Tue was estranged from King Oluf because ofhis known sympathy for the concerns of the city of Mecklenburg. In 1382Queen Margrethe defeated the rebellious Tue Galen "Gälkare" (steward) ofSkåne. There was no successor appointed to his office.

Henry, called "the Fowler" (Heinrich der Vogler) because he was in his
"Vogelheerde" (Falconry or Hawk-establishment, seeing his Hawks fly) in
the upland Hartz Country in 919 when messengers came to tell him that the
German Nation, through its Princes and Authorities assembled at Fritzlar,
had made him King; and that he would have dreadful work henceforth.
Which he undertook -- warring all his days against chaos in that country,
no rest for him until he died. The beginning of German Kings; the first,

According to Kure's farm-list Jørgen Hals owned owned Store Halsegård(later called Gadebygård) and Lille Halsegård (later called Halsegård),both proprietair-farms in Østermarie parish. According to Kure'sfarm-list his daughter was married to Hans Berildsen, later chief justicefor Bornholm.

The following has been extracted from a translation of the article"Landet Borringholm: Bornholmsk-skånske slægtskredse", part 2, by SigvardMahler Dam, published in SAXO, 1986:

Otte Pedersen Uf's wife had previously been married to a Bornholmer, andthat is how she came to live on Bornholm. It appears that she had runaway with esquire Peder Hals against the wishes of her family, for AndersGalen in Lund refused to acknowledge her children from her firstmarriage! She had at least three children (1 son and 2 daughters) whenshe married Otte Uf. Anders Galen's will caused great controversy andthe probate proceedings to 21 years to be finalized! Otte's first wifedied around 1480 and he married for the second time to an unnameddaughter of Oluf (any evidence for this? - Norman Madsen), and they had ason, Oluf Ottesen, and a daughter, who became the founder of the secondBornholm Uf-family line. The youngest son, Oluf Ottesen appears as awitness in a document from 1497 and borrows his father's seal (there aretwo identical seals on the document), so he must have been very young.Oluf and his sister were not named in Anders Galen's will of 1511, sotherefore their mother is not his sister.

The freeman Jørgen Hals of Østermarie and his two sisters felt cheatedwhen they were read Anders Galen's will, in which they figured only thus:

(In the original old Danish)
"Item Jørgen Hals X Mark, 1 wpret Segn, 1 Gryde, Anne Jørgen HalsesSøster ligeledes, meth saadan Skell, ath the skwlle ey ydherre begære athærffwe mig."

(Which modernized reads in English approximately as follows)
"Item: Jørgen Hals, Østermarie, 1 complete Bed, 1 Cooking-pot, JørgenHals' sister Anne receives the same, with the understand that they willinherit nothing more."

From the choice of above words we can see there was no love lost betweenAnders Galen and the Hals-family. He even forgot to include the othersister! Did he not wish to acknowledge the relationship? Is it that atthe time they were not the best of friends, or was there a more sinisterreason? Why acknowledge the two Uf children, and not the three olderHals? A clue can be found in the following declaration given by theCommander of Hammershus in 1522 (59):

(In the original old Danish)
"Jag Niels Jiebsen (Bryske). . . gør vitterligt for alle med dette mitobne Breff, at denne Breffwisere Jørgen Hals er Anders Gallens som dødeudi Lund. . . rette ecte Søstersøn med ogsaa twenne Søstre som førnavnteJørgen Hals hafwer paa Borindholm, og hafwer jag spurgt I sandignen atførnævnte Anders Gallen igen nærmere rette arvinger hafwer end dissefornævnte. . . ."

(Which modernized reads in English approximately as follows)
"I, Niels Ibsen (Bryske). . . declare to all by means of this open Letterthat the Plaintiff Jørgen Hals is Anders Galen's - who died in Lund. . .rightful Sister's son, as are his two Sisters whom the aforementionedJørgen Hals has in Bornholm, and I have inquired about the truth that theaforementioned Anders Galen has no closer heirs than the aforementioned.. . ."

This was not considered to be sufficient proof, perhaps the commander wasnot considered to be a knowledgeable enough witness, since he had notbeen on Bornholm very long and could not have known of the details firsthand, he must have had to ask around. Therefore the case was put beforethe "Landsting" (Senate) in Åkirkeby on May 22, 1522. The details werediscussed, witnesses were heard, and finally a document was drawn up andsealed by the most important officials on Bornholm: 1) the Commander ofHammershus, Niels Ibsen; 2) Jørgen Hals' step-brother Chief Justice OlufOttesen (Uf); 3) Jørgen Gagge, who had been made a freeman 20 yearspreviously and was an illegitimate born member of the Gagge-family ofSkåne; 4) Hans Borreby of Borgegård; 5) Anders Kos in Ibsker parish (ofKåsegård); 6) and the invaders from Lübeck, Peder Kofoed, and 7) MortenLassen, both mayors in Rønne; 8) Lauritz Jul from an old anddistinguished family and a bailiff in Østermarie parish; 9) Hans Pedersenfrom Østermarie parish; 10) and finally the document was signed by thebailiff for Åker parish, Peder Munck. The document reads as follows (60):

(In the original old Danish)
". . . wor skicket for os och for menige Almue. . . beskenden mand JørgenHals, hvilken gik frem. . . och bespurgte sig om det var dem vitterligt,om han og hans søskende er ægte og rette fødte baade af fader och moder,og om det var dem vitterligt at de hørte Anders Gallen til der døde iLund, Gud naade hans sjæl, eller om de burde staai arv efter samme AndersGallen for ægtheds skyld, og arve ham deres døde frænde og slægtning somloven udviser som er ægte og rette baade af fader og moder. Der tilsvarede alle mænd som deraf vidste og bad dem Gud til hjælp, at de ikkeandet vidste med fornævnte Jørgen Hals og hans syskende end at de er ægteog ægtefødte og bør saavel arve deres del efter fornævnte Anders Gallenmed lige og rette saa meget som dem rettelig kan tilfalde efter loven."

(Which modernized reads in English approximately as follows)
". . . the modest man Jørgen Hals presented himself before us and askedif we would attest that he and his siblings are legitimate born both offather and mother, and further attest that they were relatives of AndersGalen who died in Lund, God bless his soul, and that they are the sameAnders Galen's legitimate heirs. To his all the men with God's helpanswered that they were convinced the forenamed Jørgen Hals and hissiblings are legitimate and therefore entitled to inherit their portionfrom the aforementoned Anders Galen in accordance with the just processof law."

This document finally saw the heirs receive more than the 10 Mark and afully made-up bed! They received estate-property in Hyltebierg(Hylteberga, Skurup parish, Vemmenhög district) in Skåne, to be dividedinto three parts. A deed dated July 2, 1523 documents (61) that JørgenHals, and his sister's son Axel Poulsen, and Axel's brother-in-law OlufDue of Østermarie, sold their inheritance to Mourids Jepsön (Sparre) ofSkurup - namely four farmsteads, with the request that he yearly supplythe clergyman in Skurup with 1 Skilling worth of "grot" (produce?) forthe souls of their parents. The sister Else did not sell her portion ofthe property, maybe she moved there, as after 1530 there is no furthermention of her.

The inheritance case was not quite over with! After the above mentionedsale of property, maybe from around 1530 there is another document. Theclergymen Hr. Hans for Østermarie and Hr. Hans for Vestermarie attestthat "Jørgen Hals, Anne Poul Olsens, Else Ødberns" are the legitimateheirs of Anders Galen, and that he was the true brother of their mother.The clergymen along with several other good Danes swear on their Soul'sHoliness that the above heirs had received no more property than that inHyltebierg after Anders Galen. Next we learn that Hr. Skelm(Gyldenstjerne) was the dean of the clergy on Bornholm when Jørgen Halsand his two sisters were born and christened; he died in Lund and hadbeen born in Blekinge. He had resided at Spidlegård in Åker parish whenhe was the Dean for Bornholm.

We have no further information on Jørgen Hals affairs, so he had probablypassed away and his heirs might have needed the above document attestingto their legitimacy. Maybe the document relates to Jørgen Hals' sister,the widowed Anne, who from 1533 through 1537 was involved in a legaldispute with the heirs of her second husband. The clergymen fromØstermarie - Jørgen Hals home parish - and from Vestermarie, where Annahad her property, were involved as witnesses in the court case.

Note (norman Lee Madsen)
From "Over hals og hoved - A cry of indignation heard all over Bornholm",by Sigvard Mahler Dam, SAXO, 1991:

Relatives of Jørgen Hals:

Jørgen Hals must have been a somewhat older gentleman in 1523, as hisyounger half-brother Oluf Ottesen (Uf) attanded the age of majority in1497 - and probably for the very first time placed his seal as aco-witness alongside his father. (Thus was probably born circa 1472-77 -Norman Madsen). From this we can conclude that the Hals children wereborn no later than the 1470s. The additional heirs named by Jørgen Halsbelong to a later generation: Axel Poulsen is his sister's son, and OlufDue was married to Axel' sister, her name unknown. Jørgen Hals' sisteris named in the probate records as "Anne Poul Olsens", but we cannot findPoul in any other sources, so it is likely that had died before theprobate of 1522. Similarly we know of the other sister, named ElseØdberns, but we do not know when she or her heirs sold their share of theGalen inheritance.

Oluf Due is noted in the chronologies as a possible grandson of Oluf Dueof Skåne, who is named in 1435. (36) But who is the above mentioned PoulOlsen, whose son Axel had a given name uncommon on Bornholm? (37)

Bjergegård i Vestermarie:

The connections lead us to Vestermarie where that parish's pastor,together with the pastor for the Hals-family's parish: Østermarie, arethe witnesses in the deposition of 1530. Now it is time to remember oneof the witnesses to the High Court case of 1522: "Hans Borreby iBorgegaard", and since there was no such name for a farm on Bornholm itis probably a variation in the spelling of Bjergegård. It turns out thatHans Borreby was married to a woman named Anne, and another interestingprobate case gives us a peek into Anne's family history:

1537, u.d.: stævning til Herredagen: Peder Andersß i Myregaardt (Aaker)Citat Hans Persß i Bierregaardt (Vestermarie) och hans hustrues moderfore nogre Jordegots som the om trette, att møde tiill første almyndelighere (dag) som stande schal her i riiget. (38)

(1537, not dated: Summoned to High Court: Peder Andersen of Myregård(Åker) versus Hans Pedersen of Bjergegård (Vestermarie) and his wife'smother to appear because of their dispute over the ownership of anestate, to present their initial positions here in the kingdom's openhigh court.) (38))

1537 2/7 København: Pedher Andersenn paa Boringholm havde stævnet Anne,Hans Borrebys enke, og hendes laugværge, fordi de havde overtagetMyregaard, hvilken var tilfaldet Per Andersens hustru Elline (HansBorrebys søster), idet Hans og Anne ingen levende børn havde sammen.

(July 2, 1537 København: Peder Andersen of Bornholm has summoned Anne,Hans Borreby's widow, and her guardian, for they having confiscatedMyregård, which was to come to Peder Andersen's wife Elline (HansBorreby's sister), since Hans and Anne did not have any living childrentogether.)

Peder Andersen and his wife had moved onto the farm, but Anne had themthrown out by force, so Peder had to flee - now for over 3 years, and hiswife was seized and chained and sought after her rightful inheritance.

Anne's defence was that her deceased husband had given to her and herchildren, which she had with a husband previous to her marriage to HansBorreby, Myregård and other property. Anne presented the gift letter,written and signed by Hans Borreby, and as well a legal document signedby: Bernt Knop - the Lübeck bailiff for Hammershus, Jens Hansen - chiefjustice for Bornholm, and Henning Tommessen - the bailiff for theisland's southern district. This second document had been written circa1533, and showed that Anne had complained to the court over being deniedMyregård, and that she had outstanding her children's money from thefarm, both before Hans Borreby's death and afterwards; which tells usthat her children were above the age of majority. According to Skånelaw, which at the time governed on Bornholm, such bequests to a wife werelegal as long as the value of the bequest was not more than half of theestate. But the court ruled that together Myregård and the otherproperty given was worth more than half of the estate, and further: aparagraph from Jylland law was found to support Peder Andersen andElline's right to own Myregård. Also, Anne had to come before the courtand pay a fine, and be punished for the assault on Elline. Today wemight speculate that politics probably played a role in the judgement.The Lübeck bailiff had supported Anne's claim, while the Danish courtdenied it, and in spite of Peder Andersen trying to blame the lawsuit forhis banishment, we know from another source that he was staying inKøbenhavn with the exiled chief justice Mogens Uf because of their partin the 1536 rebellion against the Lübeck governance of Bornholm. Theking had encouraged the rebellion, and therefore Peder was under theking's protection. Which might be the reason for the unusual applicationof Jylland law on Bornholm! (39)

What can the outcome of the above court case tell us? That the HansPedersen who resided at Bjergegård in 1537 was the son-in-law andguardian of Anne, and since her second husband, Hans Borreby, also livedat that same farm in 1522, then the farm must have belonged to Anne orher deceased first husband. Furthermore, considering that among thewitnesses for Anne Sevidsdatter (the widow of Anders Uf and Jep Splid) onJuly 10, 1508, when she donated money to Lund Cathedral, was an "OlufJensen i Biærgegaarden", then we easily might assume that the previouslymentioned Poul Olsen was the son of Oluf Jensen. (40) As Poul diedbefore 1522, he must have died a very young man. This seems ever morecredible when we learn that Oluf Jensen's mother's name was KirstinePoulsdatter! Oluf Jensen's father was Jens Jensen of Bjergegård,mentioned in 1490. (41) Hans Pedersen was probably married to the "AnnePoul Olsens datter", who was mentioned as married to Oluf Due in 1523.In 1550 Axel Poulsen was named as an heir of Anders Galen, this wasconcerning the matter of his having sold inherited property to Sti Pors;Axel seems to have received the largest part of the inheritance, whichmeans that the male line of the Hals-family had died out. This meansthat Jørgen Hals had no sons, but did he have any daughters?

Jørgen Hals' heirs:

When Jørgen Hals died, or who were his heirs, is without documentation asof today. No disputes among the heirs have been noted, so the probateproceedings must have ended peaceably. We can get a hint about this whenwe see both Gadebygård (Store Halsegård) and Lille Halsegård belonging toHans Berildsen and his descendants. Hans Berildsen lived at 24 vg. inÅker, also called Bjergegård (or Bierregård); previously it had been acopyhold farm, but which had been made free by the order of the king.(42) In 1551 Hans Berildsen given to a seat in the Landsting(Parliament), and sometime between 1553 and 1559 he was made landsdommer(chief justice), a job he held until his death sometime between 1562 and1572. (43) He probably married a daughter, maybe the only one, of JørgenHals, which is indicated when his grandson Niels Berildsen soldGadebygård on September 30, 1648 for 900 Slettedaler, promising to givethe buyer the "fribreve, som jeg, saavelsom mine forfædre haver haft paafornævnte Gadebygaards frihed" (freedom-letter, which I, and myforefathers have been given for the aforementioned Gadebygård's freedom).(44)

Kure (Prgd. Vellensgård i Nyker)
Proprietærgårdn Vellensgård var een af de oprindelig 18 unummererede gårde som var sædegårde for frimandsslægter, og derfor havde de gårdene med tilhørende fæstegårde samt skattefrihed. Peder Hansen ejede Proprietærgården Vellensgård i Nyker. Han var broder til Bent Hansen på Proprietærgården Eskildsgård i Pedersker. Første gang vi hører om dem var da de sammen med de andre frimænd på øen var til møde med rigsrådets repræsentanter den 06.09.1572. Her omtales de som Peder Hansen og Bendt Hansen til "Vællingsgaard" og "Eskesgaard", Peder Hansen fik to sønner Jørgen Pedersen og Lavrids Pedersen. Det var Jørgen Pedersen der overtog Vellensgård.

Note(kopieret juli 2019 fra Norman Lee Madsens database)

According to Kure's farm-list the first known owner of Vellensgård is Peder Hansen, whose sister Mette Hansdatter was married to Peder Hansen Uf of Simlegård. Peder Hansen also owned Eskesgård in Pedersker.

Vellensgård and Eskesgård are classified as "friegård", later called a "proprietair" farm, the highest of the three classes of farms. On Bornholm the farms (in Danish "gård", or old style "gaard") had longstanding official names and numbers, and they were divided into three classifications, in descending order:

1) Proprietairgård (Propr.): a freehold estate (thus also called a Frigård), which could only be owned by a freeman (frimand) or a member of the nobility (adelsmand).

2) Selvejergård (Slg.): meaning a freehold farm owned independently, free of obligations to an estate owner - it could be occupied by its owner or leased to a peasant farmer (bonde). A peasant who owned this type of farm was known as a "selvejerbonde".

3) Vornedegård (Vdg.), two types: a) the first type was part of an estate (i.e. connected to a proprietairgård), the peasants who lived on them were tenants and were obliged to provide labor, known as the "Herlighedsright" (Glory-right), to the owner of the estate; b) the other type was referred to as a "Fri Vornedegård", this type of farm was not connected to an estate and was free of the labor obligation - could beo wned by a freeman and leased to a peasant. A peasant who lived on this class of farms was known as a "fæstebonde" (copyhold peasant).

A map drawn in 1851 shows 17 estate-farms classified as Proprietair: 3 in each of Åker, Ibsker and Nyker parishes; 2 each in Østermarie and Klemensker; and 1 each in Pedersker, Bodilsker, Østerlars, and Olsker. There were hundreds of farms comprising the other two classifications. The typical farm is arranged in a joined U shape, with the farmhouse, barn, pig-stall, and utility-shed all built around a cobble-stone courtyard.

Notater:

There are several bits of circumstantial, and contradictory, pieces of
evidence concerning Mette Hansdatter's parentage:

1) Mette Hansdatter owned (inherited?) Fuglsangsgård (later known as
Gaggegård, still later as: I Klinteby), 6' Vdg. in Ibsker - which she
later passed down to her daughter's son Claus Gagge. For several
generations previously Fuglsangsgård had been a Myre-family farm. First
known to have been owned by Truid Myre (died circa 1489). The farm was
inherited by his son Peder Myre, who evidently left it to his son Hans
Pedersen Myre. Mette also owned Pæregård, 3' Vdg. (Nylars or
Østerlars?), which she probably brought into her marriage Peder Hansen Uf
as a dowry, as the farm thereafter became part of Simblegård's
estate-lands. Store Myregård in Åker parish, which had previously been
owned by Peder Hansen Myre (died 1572). Based on this, it is thought
that Mette is the daughter of Hans Pedersen Myre.

2) According to an article called "De bornholmske væbnerslægter Uf og
Splid - noget nyt om deres våbener", written by Sigvard Mahler Dam, Peder
Hansen Uf and his wife Mette Hansdatter donated a pew to Saint Clement's
Church. The text read: "Clement's Church: door to pew, carved oak framed
with smooth fir planks - showing helmeted coats-of-arms with vesselhorn
and the following markings: a shield with an upside down "gavlsparre"
(chevron) design, and the other shield sporting a "halv Hummerklo" (half
lobster claw). . ."

And further, it appears that Jørgen Gagge and his wife Margrethe/Merete
had a memorial made to honour her parents Peder Hansen Uf and Mette
Hansdatter. In 1601 they had cast a large church-bell (which later
disappeared) for Klemensker Church. Bornholm historian Laurids Thurah
states (circa 1756?) that the large bell displayed two coats-of-arms: one
with a "Sparre" (chevron), the other with a "Giedde Kieft" (pike's
jawbone). The Uf-family coat-of-arms displayed a chevron. This would
seem to indicate that Mette Hansdatter's father's coat-of-arms displayed
a pike's cheekbone (a "Geddekæft" or "Giedde Kieft", alternately referred
to as a "halv Hummerklo"). Yet, the Myre-family coat-of-arms displays 3
ants (3 myrer)!

3) Sigvard Mahler Dam seems to have (ultimately) concluded that Mette
Hansdatter is the daughter Hans Pedersen of Bjergegård in Åker parish,
with the "Geddekæft" (aka "Hummerklo") coat-of-arms. I am assuming that
as the three sons of Hans Pedersen Myre (died 1518?), of Fuglsangsgård in
Ibsker, all died childless, the inheritance rights to the Myre family
farms went to more distant relatives. That the reason Mette inherited
the Myre-family farms is and that Mette was a relative (niece, cousin?)
of Hans Pedersen Myre. Possibly Mette's grandmother, n.n. Myre, was the
daughter of Peder Myre of Fuglsangsgård?

Conclusion: The fact that Mette Hansdatter's daughter Margrethe/Merete
Pedersdatter (Uf) inherited Myre-family farms places a great deal of
weight in favour of Mette being a relative of Hans Pedersen Myre (died
1518) of Fuglsangsgård. The assurtion that the coat--of-arms on the
Klemensker pew-door and church-bell were dedicated to the parents of
Peder Hansen Uf and his wife Mette Hansdatter points to Mette being the
daughter of Hans Pedersen of Bjergegård in Åker parish. - Norman Lee

Note (Norman Lee Madsen)
Berild Hansen was a freeman (frimand) and steward (ridefoged) ofHammershus fortress; he owned the freeman's farms Store Halsegård (whichby 1610 had been renamed Gadebygård) and Lille Halsegård (later simplycalled Halsegård), both in Østermarie, and Bjergegård, 24 Vdg. in Åkerparish. He is the father of: 1) Hans Berildsen (died 1668), heir toLille Halsegård and Bjergegård; 2) Niels Berildsen, the heir of StoreHalsegård; and very likely the father of 3) Karen Berildsdatter, wife ofJens Bendtsen of Rønne.

At the "Frimandsmødet" held on September 6, 1572 there were 17 men namedas being in attendance: 1. Jacob Iversen, Landsdommer; 2. Mester Peder W(= Peder [Mogensen] Uf); the brothers 3. Peder Hansen; and 4. BentHansen; 5. Jørgen Pedersen; 6. Peder (Madsen) Kofoed; 7. Oluf Madsen; 8.Oluf Bagge; 9. Hans Mogensen, as he was away at the king's court he wasrepresented by his father Mogens Hansen; 10. Peder (Hansen) Myre; 11.Jørgen Gagge; 12. Berent Hansen (= Berild Hansen); 13. Laurids Pedersen;14. Jens (Madsen) Kofoed; 15. Christen (Clausen) Kiøller; 16. PederHansen (Uf); and 17. Hans (Madsen) Kofoed. Three advisers to the DanishParliment (Rigsråder) had been sent to preside over the meeting, namely:Biørn Kaas of Starupgaard, Biørn Andersen of Stenholt, and Jørgen Marsvinof Dybæk. The group expressed heartfelt and solemn words about faithfulservice to the crown; and it seems they had an inkling of things to come,and therefore begged the King not to let himself be "seduced" by Lübeck'srepresentative Sveder Ketting, "because you might expect that Lübeck onlyplotted to keep our island under their yoke." This was during the periodin which Bornholm was strongly under the influence (and rulership) of theHanseatic League free-city of Lübeck; the Bornholmers felt greatly putupon by the high taxes, unfair rules, and high-handedness of theLübeckers. Contrary to the opinion of latter historians they must haveconvinced the envoys, as on the 9th of September the freemen were grantedthe right to gather shipwrecks from the beaches, hunt in the woods, aswell as given full authority over their servants - a great victory forthe freemen.

Detsimidlertid talede vi medSvend Ketting, og gav hannem tilkiende, at Kongl.

A Bornholm Landsting (Hight Court) judgment of December 20, 1682 statesthat Mads Kofoed Madsen's widow Anne Jensdatter "som skal vere udi slegtog biurd till sahl. Berild Hansen". Which in modern Danish would be:"som skal være i slægt og byrd til salig Berild Hansen", which translatesas: "who is related and in kinship to the blessed (deceased) BerildHansen". The Berild Hansen in question is "Frimand" (Freeman) BerildHansen (died 1668) of Bjergegård, 24 Vdg. Åker, and Lille Halsegård inØstermarie, the son of Hans Berildsen (-1608-), the previous owner ofthose same farms. Since we know that Anne Jensdatter's parents are JensBendtsen and Karen Berildsdatter of Rønne, it seems very probable thatAnne and Berild Hansen's family relationship is that they are cousins.That Hans Berildsen is the brother of Anne's mother Karen Berildsdatter.

Jørgen Pedersen was a freeman (frimand) and land-owner (proprietær); he owned a large amount of land on Bornholm. These properties included: Frigård, 12' Vdg. Poulsker parish, and Eskesgård, in Pedersker parish, and Vellensgård, in Nyker; these last two farms are classified as "friegårds", later called "proprietair" farms, the highest of the three classes of farms: Proprietairgård (Propr.), Selvejergård (Slg.) and Vornedegård (Vdg.).

Jørgen Pedersen's probate was held February 20, 1588, his three daughters were his inheritors. Kirsten received Båstedgård, 1' Vdg. (afri vornedegård) in Rø parish; the two youngest daughters Elline and Karen inherited rights to the two farms: Vellensgård proprietairgård in Nyker parish, and Eskesgård proprietairgård in Pedersker parish. On January 30, 1608, Elline's husband Esbern Kofoed, of Poulsker parish, sold his wife's portion in Vellensgård and Eskesgård to her brother-in-law Mads Hansen Kofoed; in exchange Esbern Kofoed received the deeds for 3 farms: Frigård, 12' Vdg. (a fri vornedegård) in Poulsker parish, Tuegård (in Egeby), 6' Vdg. Åker, and Frostegård (in Mæby), 1' Vdg. Nyker.
