      Opl. fra Michael Eneriis

      Occupation: Land-owner (Propriet?r)
      Reference: KGD note
      At the "Frimandsm?det" held on September 6, 1572 there were 17 men
      named as being in attendance: the brothers Jens and Hans Madsen
      Kofoed, Peder Poulsen Kofoed, Oluf Bagge, Peder Uf, Peder Myre,
      J?rgen Gagge, also ten other men only listed by their father's name;
      and at which occassion three Danish Parlimentary advisers (Rigsr¯der)


      had been sent to preside over the meeting. This special meeting was
      held to establish who on Bornholm had the right to call themselves
      "Frimand" (Free-man), a title which conveyed the upper-class standing


      of the landed-gentry. Hans Kofoed, named as a "Frimand", was one of
      the delegates who on May 6, 1608, in K?benhavn, selected and
      confirmed Prince Christian as the future King of Danmark. He also,
      along with Peder Poulsen Kofoed (1548-1616), took part in the
      following festivities in Lund, Sk¯ne (now part of Sverige/Sweden),
      where the nobility swore their allegiance to Prince Christian in the
      year 1610. Their written authorization to attend is stated as
      follows: "We, the hereafter stated signatories: Jens Kofoedt of
      Kyndegaard, Hanns Kofoedt of Blykobbegaard, Peder Koefoedt of
      Bagisgaard, Matz Koefoedt of Eskiilsgaard, and Niels Berilldsen of
      Gadebygaard, all Free-men of Borringholm, and present here together
      hereby declare . . . . . The honest and noble man: Hanns Lindenow,


      Commander of Hammershus Fortress, has according to our consent,
      requested these two persons: the honourable Hans and Poffuill
      Koefoedt to travel to Ki?benhaffn with our authorized document and be


      our representatives (at Prince Christian's election) . . . . as
      further documentation we have in our own handwriting signed and
      sealed this our open-letter." Dated: Borringholm, May 6, Anno 1608
      With the signatures of: Jenns Koefoedt, Hans Kofod, Peder Koefoedt,
      Matz Koefoedt, Jacob K?ller, Hans Berillsenn, Niels Berendtzen.
      (J?rn Klindt notes that Hans Kofoed's signature is not like that of
      his brother the Judge Jens Kofoed - the Judge was experienced and
      fluent at handwritting - while Hans Kofoed, being a farmer, was
      unaccustomed to feather and ink, which easily made blotches!) From
      the seven seals affixed we can see that Hans, Jens and Mads Kofoed
      used the Kofoed coat-of-arms in their seals, but Peder Kofoed did not


      - his seal was simply marked "P.K." Also, note that "Borringholm"
      and "Ki?benhaffn" are the old style spellings of Bornholm and
      K?benhavn (Copenhagen). In 1595 Hans Kofoed had incorporated the
      image of a truss (gavlsparren) in his seal; this later became the
      most widely incorporated image in later Kofoed seals and coats-of-
      arms. A truss is that part of a building which forms the foundation
      upon which its roof is built. As depicted in the Kofoed coat-of-arms


      it looks rather like an upside down "V", i.e. the two beams of a
      roof's supporting structure. That image was used to convey the idea
      that the Kofoed family was a foundation upon which others could rely
      for strengh of leadership. His oldest son Mads Kofoed used this
      image from 1608, and his descendants (the "R?nne family" or "branch
      B" as this line of the family was referred to by Julius Bidstrup)
      used it as well. Hans Madsen Kofoed lived long enough to see his
      children prosper. They were privileged to have been born as free-men
      and have wealthy and influential relations. Through marriages they
      further built up their family position. The "Danish Coat-of-Arms"
      registry includes no less than 18 families carrying the truss as part


      of their coat-of-arms. The image of the truss seems to have come
      from the Uf family of Sk¯ne province. Noblemen of the Uf family
      settled on Bornholm around the year 1400, and quite a few of the
      native Bornholmer Kofoeds married into that family, and it seems that


      they adopted the Uf's coat-of-arms with its depiction of a truss.
      Later, as the "R?nne family" and the "?stermarie family" began to
      inter-marry the image of the "truss" can be seen together with the
      "cow-foot" image of the ?stermarie line descended from Poul Kofoed
      (before 1520-before 1584). Blykobbeg¯rd is classified as a "frig¯rd",


      later called a "proprietir" farm. On Bornholm there were three
      classes of farms:
      1) Proprietg¯rd (Propr.), earlier called a Frieg¯rd - meaning
      property owned by a "free-man" ("frimand", later called a
      "propriet?r");
      2) Selvejergrd (Slg.) - meaning a farm owned independently, free of
      obligations to a property owner - it could be occupied by its owner
      or rented out to a peasant farmer (bonde);
      3) Vornedegrd (Vdg.), also spelled Vornederg¯rd - meaning a farm
      leased out long-term by a land-owner (propriet?r) to a tenured
      peasant farmer; these farms were "attached" to a propriet?rg¯rd, and
      entailed accompanying work obligations by the peasant for the
      propriet?r who held the rights on the farm's lease. These rights
      were known as the "Herlighedsright" (Glory-right). On Bornholm the
      farms (in Danish "g¯rd", or old style "gaard") had long standing
      official names and numbers. A map drawn in 1851 shows 17 estate-
      farms classified as Propriet?r: 3 in each of ¯ker, Ibsker and Nyker
      parishes; 2 each in ?stermarie and Klemensker; and 1 each in
      Pedersker, Bodilsker, ?sterlars, and Olsker. There were hundreds of
      farms comprising the other two classifications. The typical farm is
      arranged in a joined U shape, with the farmhouse, barn, pig-stall,
      and utility-shed all built around a square cobble-stone courtyard.

      1606: Blykobbeg¯rd i Nyker
      J?rn Klint: P¯ spor af de f?rste Kofoed'er, side 75:
      Den tredie af de unge frim?nd fra 1572, Hans Kofoed er af Bornholms
      f?rste historiker Rasmus ravn (1603-1677) n?vnt som bror til
      landsdommer Jens Kofoed. da han ikke er med p¯ den lybske
      familieliste har han m¯ske v?ret en halvbror. Hans frimandsg¯rd var
      Blykobbeg¯rd i Nyker, og hans indsats i Kofod-slgtens historie var
      ikke mindre end de fornemme br?dres. Han sikrede nemlig slgtens
      blomstring ved at f¯ fem fremadstr?bende s?nner, hvoraf de 4 kom til
      at besidde store frimandsg¯rde i R?nnes omegn: Vellensg¯rd,
      Kyndeg¯rd, Ladeg¯rd og Blykobbeg¯rd, og den femte midt i byen som
      borgmester. Det blev disse br?dre, der kom til at arve landsdommer
      Jens Kofoeds store formue, sammen med en vis Albert Hansen p¯ sin
      hustru Karine Mikkelsdatters vegne. Ogs¯ hende giver den lybske
      fortegnelse forklaring p¯, for hvem skulle arve Jens Kofod i 1625,
      udover Blykobbeg¯rdss?nnerne? Broderen Peder var forl?ngst d?d, og
      hans evt. b?rn liges¯. S?steren Boels b?rn med Oluf Bagge var borte.
      Men s?steren Anna (Anneken) var jo gift med Mikkel Abraham - et
      almindeligt bornholmsk navn, og en datter af dette gteskab m¯tte jo
      hedde: Mikkelsdatter. Hans Kofoed nede at se sin store b?rnefolk
      komme godt i vej. Priviligerede var de allerede f?dt ind i
      frimandsslgten, og med mgtige og fornemme slgtninge. Ved gifterm¯l


      udbyggede de yderligere slgtens position og formue, og b?rneb?rnene,


      hvoraf alene 4 Mads'er, 3 Hans'er, Jens'er og Per'er, begyndte at
      myldre frem, inden Hans Kofoed omkring 1623 lukkede sine ?jne p¯
      Blykobbeg¯rd.
