The family developed is based on the the genealogy of the
Roskilde Cathedral, Roskilde, Denmark. This cathedral is
one of the oldest in Denmark and is the burial place of the
largest number of king, queens and other nobililty in all of
Europe including Harold Bluetooth, one of the greatest kings of
Denmark.
It seems that Anders
Nielsen Due becomes a knight in the court of King Christoffer of
Sweden. He apparently ends up with a major estate in
Sweden. I suspect that some his real estate holdings and comes
after the out break of The Black Death or plague in Scandinavia
in 1349. It was said between 1349
and 1350 to have killed 33% to 66% of the people
of Denmark while Norway and Sweden were both affected. As
even a surviving petty nobleman of the time he was probably
depended upon to keep things going. Being appointed a "Land
Judge" after the death of so many would have been a very
valuable position of power and wealth.
These families have
records and the family crests are found in the Roskilde
Cathedral web site and go back to about 1310.
