Skullerupholm
Skullerupholm is a manor house and estate located in Lejre Municipality, Denmark. History Skullerupholm was in the beginning of the 14th century owned by Anders Pedersen Uldsaks and probably his brother Sakse Pedersen Uldsaks. Sakse's daughter, Ingeborg Uldsaks, inherited the estate in 1355. She outlived her husband, Peder Jensen Grubbe, by more than 20 years. The estate was by then owned by several heirs. Ingeborg Uldsaks' son-in-law, Johan Olufsen Bjørn, was the sole owner of the estate from 1397. After his death in 1416, Skullerupholm passed to his daughter Eline Johansdatter Bjørn and her husband Sten Basse. Skulderupholm was after their deaths the object of a legal dispute between several heirs and lenders. In 1454, Gerver Lunge, Johan Bjørnsen and Oluf Axelsen Thott were each awarded one third of the estate. Oluf Daa, Bishop of Roskilde, acquired all three stakes of the estate in 1457–61. Skullerupholm was after the Reformation, in 1536, confiscated by the Crown. It wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ancient Diocese Of Roskilde
The former Diocese of Roskilde () was a diocese within the Roman-Catholic Church which was established in Denmark some time before 1022. The diocese was dissolved with the Reformation of Denmark and replaced by the Protestant Diocese of Zealand in 1537. History The episcopal see of the Bishop was Roskilde Cathedral but from 1167, when Bishop Absalon completed a new bishop's palace known as Absalon's Castle on the small island of Slotsholmen, he resided at the small town of ''Havn'', which later became the present Danish capital Copenhagen. The diocese originally included both the island of Zealand and Scania (southern Sweden, then part of Denmark), but Scania was disjoined in 1060 and initially divided into the short-lived Diocese of Dalby and the Diocese of Lund, which absorbed the first and became the Metropolitan of (southern) Scandinavia. Successor jurisdictions In 1868, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Copenhagen was established with St. Ansgar's Cathedral as the se ...

Reformation In Denmark–Norway And Holstein
The Reformation in Denmark–Norway and Holstein saw the transition from Catholicism to Lutheranism in the realms ruled by the Danish-based House of Oldenburg in the first half of the sixteenth century. After the break-up of the Kalmar Union in 1521/1523, these realms included the kingdoms of Denmark (with the former east Danish provinces in Skåneland) and Norway (with Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands) and the Duchies of Schleswig (a Danish fief) and Holstein (a German fief), whereby Denmark also extended over today's Gotland (now part of Sweden) and Øsel in Estonia. The Protestant Reformation reached Holstein and Denmark in the 1520s. Lutheran figures like Hans Tausen gained considerable support in the population and from Christian II, and though the latter's successor Frederick I officially condemned the reformatory ideas, he tolerated their spread. His son Christian III officially introduced Lutheranism into his possessions in 1528, and on becoming king in 1536 afte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fief
A fief (; la, feudum) was a central element in medieval contracts based on feudal law. It consisted of a form of property holding or other rights granted by an Lord, overlord to a vassal, who held it in fealty or "in fee" in return for a form of feudal allegiance, services and/or payments. The fees were often lands, land revenue or revenue, revenue-producing real property like a watermill, held in feudal land tenure: these are typically known as fiefs or fiefdoms. However, not only land but anything of value could be held in fee, including governmental office, rights of exploitation such as hunting, fishing or felling trees, monopolies in trade, money rents and tax farms. There never did exist one feudal system, nor did there exist one type of fief. Over the ages, depending on the region, there was a broad variety of customs using the same basic legal principles in many variations. Terminology In ancient Rome, a "benefice" (from the Latin noun , meaning "benefit") was a gif ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Monarchy Of Denmark
The monarchy of Denmark is a constitutional institution and a historic office of the Kingdom of Denmark. The Kingdom includes Denmark proper and the autonomous territories of the Faroe Islands and Greenland. The Kingdom of Denmark was already consolidated in the 8th century, whose rulers are consistently referred to in Frankish sources (and in some late Frisian sources) as "kings" (). Under the rule of King Gudfred in 804 the Kingdom may have included all the major provinces of medieval Denmark. The current unified Kingdom of Denmark was founded or re-united by the Viking kings Gorm the Old and Harald Bluetooth in the 10th century. Originally an elective monarchy, it became hereditary only in the 17th century during the reign of Frederick III. A decisive transition to a constitutional monarchy occurred in 1849 with the writing of the first democratic constitution, replacing the vast majority of the old absolutist constitution. The current Royal House is a branch of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Birk (market Place)
Birk (''biærk'', ''berck'', ''byrck'') was during the Scandinavian Middle Ages the name for a demarcated area, especially a town or a market place, with its own laws and privileges, the Bjarkey laws. Denmark In Denmark, the name was to be used also for other areas than towns and markets. These areas were exempted from the ordinary jurisdictions of the hundreds and the towns. There were royal, ecclesiastical and aristocratic birks with their own law courts and birk assemblies. After the Protestant Reformation, the ecclesiastical birks passed to the king. The royal birks were after some time abolished, but more and more aristocratic ones were established, where the aristocratic landlord (the patronus) appointed birk judges, birk bailiffs, and birk notaries. The aristocratic birk privilege (known by the same name as '' Bjarkey laws'', ''birkerett'') was reduced in 1809 and it was completely abolished in 1849. The term ''birk'' was to endure for some time, however. Norway In Norwa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
