The third son is Jens Hansen Myre, mentioned in a document dated 1541 which confures upon him the position of kannik (canon) in Lund. On July 4, 1574 he sold Myregård (a.k.a. Lille Ølegård), 9 Vdg. Østermarie, and one farm in Klinteby (20 Vdg. Ibsker), to Peder Oxe. He had a crookback (krogrygget) and died in Lund in 1575. This man is probably the same person as the Jens Hansen who was chief justice for Bornholm circa 1533, who placed his seal on an undated document (in 1533?) which was later presented in court in 1537 by Hans Borreby's widow Anne with regards to her dispute over the ownership of Myregård in Åker parish. In 1535 there was an unsuccessful uprising by the Bornholmers against their Lübeck overlords, and the island's chief justice, a Jens Hansen of Nylars parish is said to have been involved. He probably owned “Myregaard” (later called Ågård), 2 Vdg. Nylars, a frivornedegård (free copyhold farm) - which is known to have been owned by Truid Myre. Some accounts state the he was executed by the Lübeckers - but the facts on this seem doubtful. It seems probable that Jens Hansen (Myre) fled the island in 1535, taking up the possition of canon in Lund in 1541. Possibly he is the father of Mads Kofoed's first wife Johanne (died circa 1547)?
