- Haagen Sønnesen graduated in 1631, and from that time took on the name of"Rønneby", that being the name of the town of his birth (Ronneby inBlekinge province, Sweden). He was the curate (kapellan) forRønne-Knudsker parish in 1640 and afterwards was the pastor for Klemensker parish from 1645 until his death. In Rønne's church journalhe is characterized as "brav og nidkær" (honest and dedicated).
In the Åker-Åkirkeby register can be found the following "communicantes" entries: First on the death of Haagen Sonnesen Rønneby, 1665, "Imellomden 27 og 28 Febr. om natten døde Hl. Haagen Zønnessøn Sognepræst iClemetschersogn, æt. 56 an." Followed by the marriage of his widow Sidsele Larsdatter to his successor Oluf Jensen Aalborig: "Dnc. 11 Trin. holtis Hl. Ole Jensens og hans Formands Hl. Hogens Enchis Zizele N. deris Bryllup i Clemetskersogn. Introduceret Dom. Exaudi Hl. Ole Jensen tilSogne Præst i St. Clem: Kirke."
In Danish times Ronneby was the most important trading place in Blekinge, partly as a port for exporting firewood, with an excellent position about 15 km from the sea on the Ronneby ån. One of the important roads to Småland also ran from there, as well as a coastal road east and west.
In 1658 Bornholm was lost in war to the Swedes, and a man named Johan Printzenskjöld was appointed Commandant (Oberst) of the army on Bornholm. Not too long after this Printzenskjöld was "invited" to aparty at the parsonage (præstegård) of Klemensker parish. At that party Haagen Sønnesen and one of his daughters let their admiration andsympathy for the Danish king be known. For this insult the Swedish Commandant made his host "give" him a silver jug and the best horse onthe farm!
On December 8, 1658 the Bornholm people rebelled against their new Swedish overlords; this began with Commandant Johan Printzenskjöld being executed in Rønne. The rebellion's chief leader was Jens Pedersen Kofoed(1628-1691), who went on to force the capitulation of the Swedish armystationed in the northern Bornholm fortress of Hammershus. He would thentake as prisoners-of-war Swedish re-inforcement troops as they landed at Sandvig during Christmas-time. See his entry for more information.
On the loss of Danish territories during the lifetime of Haagen Sønnesen Ronneby:
The Swedes had declared war on Denmark in 1643, invaded Jylland and Skåneand on June 29, 1644 defeated the Danish fleet. In the resulting "Treaty of Brömsebro" of 1645, Denmark ceded to Sverige/Sweden the provinces Jämtland and Härjedalen, the islands Ösel and Gotland, and the province Halland - the latter for thirty years (however, it was never returned). Later Skåne, Blekinge, and Bohus, all Danish provinces for over 500hundreds years, were lost to Sweden as a result of the "Peace of Roskilde", signed in 1658. The old territory of Skåne now comprises the counties (läns) of Malmöhus and Kristianstad.
On the history of the Lutheran Church in Denmark:
The Reformation penetrated the Scandinavian countries in the early 1500s. The introduction of Protestantism was supported by merchants and peasants, and by devout priests who had become followers of Martin Luther. King Frederik I (reigned 1523-1533), who became quite religiousin his later years, strongly promoted the establishment of the Lutheran Church. He allowed the leading Danish religious reformer, Hans Tavsen, to preach in the church at Viborg and ordered many Catholic churches inthe region destroyed, despite violent protests. It was King ChristianIII (reigned 1534-1559), son of Frederik I, who established the state Lutheran Church in Denmark. With the support of the Rigsrad - his advising council of lay members - the king ordered all Catholic property turned over to the crown and declared the Lutheran Church the national church of Denmark with the king as its head. From 1660 to 1849, a periodof absolute monarchy in Denmark, all Danes were compelled to profess the Lutheran faith.
