Ulfstand
Ulfstand was a Danish, mostly Scanian, noble family, known since the 14th century and extinct in the male line in 1637. It was possibly descended from a German noble family, and took the name Ulfstand when King Frederick decreed that the nobility had to take permanent family names in 1526. The family owned large estates in Scania, including Barsebäck, Glimmingehus, Skabersjö, Svenstorp and Torup, and several members were members of the Danish Council of the Realm. Archbishop of Lund Jakob Gertsen (died 1410), the knight Henrik Gertsen (died after 1439), the estate owner and member of the council of the realm Truid Gregersen Ulfstand (1487–1545), his brother and member of the council of the realm Holger Gregersen Ulfstand (died 1542) of Skabersjö, and member of the council of the realm Jens Holgersen Ulfstand, are some of the members of this family. The family has many descendants through female lines in other Danish noble families. References * Poul Bredo Grandjean ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Scania
Scania, also known by its native name of Skåne (, ), is the southernmost of the historical provinces of Sweden, provinces (''landskap'') of Sweden. Located in the south tip of the geographical region of Götaland, the province is roughly conterminous with Skåne County, created in 1997. Like the other former provinces of Sweden, Scania still features in colloquial speech and in cultural references, and can therefore not be regarded as an archaic concept. Within Scania there are 33 municipalities of Sweden, municipalities that are autonomous within the Skåne Regional Council.

Frederick I Of Denmark
Frederick I (Danish and ; ; ; 7 October 1471 – 10 April 1533) was King of Denmark and Norway. He was the last Roman Catholic monarch to reign over Denmark and Norway, when subsequent monarchs embraced Lutheranism after the Protestant Reformation. As king of Norway, Frederick is most remarkable in never having visited the country and was never crowned as such. Therefore, he was styled ''King of Denmark, the Vends and the Goths, elected King of Norway''. Frederick's reign began the enduring tradition of calling kings of Denmark alternatively by the names Christian and Frederik, which has continued up to the reign of the current monarch, Margrethe II. Background Frederick was the younger son of the first Oldenburg King Christian I of Denmark, Norway and Sweden (1426–81) and of Dorothea of Brandenburg (1430–95). Soon after the death of his father, the underage Frederick was elected co-Duke of Schleswig and Holstein in 1482, the other co-duke being his elder brother, Kin ...

Riksråd
Riksrådet (in Norwegian and Swedish), Rigsrådet (in Danish) or (English: the Council of the Realm and the Council of the State – sometimes translated as the "Privy Council") is the name of the councils of the Scandinavian countries that ruled the countries together with the kings from late Middle Ages to the 17th century. Norway had a Council of the Realm () that was de facto abolished by the Danish-Norwegian king in 1536–1537. In Sweden the parallel Council gradually came under the influence of the king during the 17th century. Rigsrådet in Denmark The members of the Council of Denmark seem to have developed from being councillors of the king to being representatives of the magnates and noblemen. From the 1320s it clearly appears as a force, and from the 1440s it was the permanent opponent of royal power, replacing the Danehof. The Council consisted of noblemen who were appointed either by the king or their peers on the council. Until the 1536 Reformation, bishops were a ...
