- The first member of the noble Uf-family to appear in Bornholm's
historical records was Hans Uf, who was appointed commander of Hammershus
fortress by his mother's brother Niels Joensen (Bild).
Archbishop Jakob died in 1361, and was buried on the 18th of February in
Lund. Niels Joensen, a clerk who is faithful to Valdemar and said to
have been from Jylland, is appointed his successor. Later that year the
Hansa offer Valdemar 1,200 marks for the return of their priviledges.
Valdemar demands 4,000, and the Hansa agree. Then Valdemar conquers
Gotland, one of the Hansa's own territories. The Hansa allies itself
with Magnus and Haakan and send a fleet up the sound. Valdemar defeats
it, then reaffirms his previous alliance with Magnus and Haakan.
Haakan's intended bride, Elisabeth of Holstein, is intercepted on her way
to Sweden by Niels Joensen and held captive on Bornholm.
In 1368 Valdemar leaves Denmark to his governor Henning Podebusk while he
pursues support in Europe. Albrekt of Sweden attacks Skåne, taking
control of the north-west. He is supported by Tue Andersen Galen (nephew
of Peder Jensen, the previous Archbishop), Anders Jakobsen Grim and Hasse
Tuesen Galen. The war goes against Denmark. The cathedral compound in
Lund is conquered and Åhus is besieged. Niels Joensen flees to Bornholm.
During a long winter stay at the fortress the Archbishop died on February
5, 1379. Two days previously he had written his testament, wherein he
left to Hans Uf his large gilded silver-horn and two silver cups, also 40
Marks in silver to cover expenses for flour, malt, and other items used
during his stay. As well he received the rights to six dwellings in
Listed fishing-village, which he had had built for the Archbishop, and
which brought in 6 Marks silver in yearly rent.
During Hans Uf's long term of office he acquired land in the region
north-west of Svaneke. The Archbishop also thought of Hans Uf's daughter
Cecilie, leaving her a gold ring. She was later married three times, all
of her husbands were noblemen from Skåne; she outlived them all.
