- Christen/Kristen Hegelund was probably born sometime between 1470 and 1480. His father was possibly Morten (Christensen?) Hegelund, born circa 1440, a "Borger" (Burgher) in Viborg. Christen Hegelund's wife Ofvens/Offvents/Agnes Pedersdatter evidently is the daughter of a daughter of Jess Mattisen Sochfod.
"Diplomatarium Viborgense J. 146", page 360, states that:
"Offvents Pedersdatter Hegelunds s?nner: Morten Hegelund, r?dmand, Peder Hegelund, borger i Viborg, Jens Hegelund, borger i Ribe og S?ren Hegelund, gav i 1537 noget jord beliggende ?st til Bastue jord, kalledes "Alle Helgens boder", som Jess Mattis?n Sochfod, hendes morfar gav til messers opholdelse for Alle Helgens Alter i Viborg Domkirke".
The above translated to English:
"Hegelund's wife Offvents Pedersdatter's sons: Morten Hegelund, alderman for Viborg, Peder Hegelund, a burgher in Viborg, Jens Hegelund, a burgher in Ribe, and S?ren Hegelund, in 1537 donated some land situated east of Bastue plot, called "Alle Helgens boder", which Jess Mattis?n Sochfod, their mother's father donated for the saying of Masses at Alle Helgen's Altar in Viborg Cathedral".
Christian Bokkenheuser wrote in 1931 in Viborg Folkeblad:
"Christen Hegelund var i Christian den Andens Tid Borger i Viborg. Han havde med sin Hustru, der var Datterdatter af Jess Mattiss?n Sochfod, 4 S?nner, Morten, Peder, Jens og S?ren."
The above translated to English:
"Christian Hegelund was in Christian the 2nd's time a burgher in Viborg. He had with his wife, who was the daughter's daughter of Jess Mattiss?n Sochfod, 4 sons, namely: Morten, Peder, Jens and S?ren."
Peder Hegelund, who in the 1560s studied at the universities of Leipzig and Wittenberg, at the age of 24 years began writing a daily diary, and continued this practice through out his life; the notes he made accumulated to a total of 49 almanacs. Their son Jens was the father of Peder Jensen Hegelund (1542-1614), the Bishop of Ribe, who wrote the well known "Almanakoptegnelser 1565-1613". S?ren Hegelund is described in "Diplomatarium Vibergense" as being the son of Christen Hegelund.
Under King Valdemar II, reigned 1202-1241, the kingdom reached its greatest size. He conquered Pomerania, Estonia, and parts of Mecklenburg; was sovereign over all of Denmark, the south-western coastal provinces on the Svensk/Swedish peninsula, and had dominion over the entire Baltic Sea coast-line. The Union of Kalmar, in 1397, united the kingdoms of Denmark, Sweden and Norway for 126 years. Sweden and a portion of Finland seceded in 1523; Norway declared itself independence in 1814; and Island/Iceland became independent in 1944. Kalaallit Nunat/Greenland and the F?royar/Faeroes are still under Danish rule.
The Svensker/Swedes declared war on Denmark in 1643, invaded Jylland and Sk?ne and on June 29, 1644 defeated the Danish fleet. In the resulting "Peace of Br?msebro" of 1645, Danmark ceded to Sverige/Sweden the islands ?sel and Gotland, the provinces J?mtland, H?rjedalen and Halland - the latter for thirty years (however, it was never returned). Later Sk?ne, Blekinge, and Bohus, all Danish provinces for 500 years, were lost to Sverige as a result of the "Peace of Roskilde", signed in 1658. The territory of Sk?ne now comprises the counties (l?ns) of Malm?hus and Kristianstad.
In Denmark, a person did not become a "borger" (burgher, or middleclass citizen) by virtue of being born in a place. Burgher class citizenship was a valuable privilege that included: the right to engage in business in a community; rights and protections under the law; permission to reside in a community without being expelled. Citizenship was extended by individual communities to some of their inhabitants, primarily those who wanted to engage in business, and did not pertain to citizenship in the country as a whole. Until the twentieth century, only males of the middle and upper classes, mostly merchants and tradesmen, were granted citizenship.
