Boëthius Family
Boëthius is a Swedish clerical family descended from ''Herr Anders'', the first Protestant vicar of Sidensjö in Ångermanland (early 16th century). His grandson ''Boëtius Olai Moræus'' (died 1628) took his surname from Mora, where he served as vicar. His given name ''Boëtius'' was a latinization of the Swedish name ''Bo'' and was assumed as a surname by his grandson Jacob Boëthius (1647–1718) who was vicar of Mora and spent ten years in prison as a political dissident.

Jacob Boëthius
Jacob (; ; ar, يَعْقُوب, Yaʿqūb; gr, Ἰακώβ, Iakṓb), later given the name Israel, is regarded as a patriarch of the Israelites and is an important figure in Abrahamic religions, such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Jacob first appears in the Book of Genesis, where he is described as the son of Isaac and Rebecca, and the grandson of Abraham, Sarah, and Bethuel. According to the biblical account, he was the second-born of Isaac's children, the elder being Jacob's fraternal twin brother, Esau. Jacob is said to have bought Esau's birthright and, with his mother's help, deceived his aging father to bless him instead of Esau. Later in the narrative, following a severe drought in his homeland of Canaan, Jacob and his descendants, with the help of his son Joseph (who had become a confidant of the pharaoh), moved to Egypt where Jacob died at the age of 147. He is supposed to have been buried in the Cave of Machpelah. Jacob had twelve sons throug ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
