- Hintze Hansen is recorded in Bornholm's Jordeb?ger as the taxpayer for Ved Kirken (later called Valleg?rd), 1 Slg. Ibsker, in 1623 and 1624; and for Hindseg?rd, 2 Slg. Ibsker, in 1623, 1624, 1651, 1658 and 1662.
Possibly Hintze Hansen is the son of Hans Jensen, who was the taxpayer for Hindseg?rd, 2 Slg. Ibsker, in 1611, 1625 and 1626? And the brother of Jens Hansen, who was the taxpayer for 1 Slg. Ibsker, in 1625, 1626, 1651, 1658 and 1662?
From Bornholm's Jordebog of 1651:
Jibscher Sougn, Cronens Tiennere, Eller Jordeigne B?nd, Nr. 2: Heindtze Hanss?n.
From Bornholm's Jordebog of 1658, compiled during the Swedish occupation of the island:
?ster H?radt, Ibschier Sochn, Skattehemman, Nr. 2: (Forpantet till Oberst Leut. Michel Eckstein) Hintze Hansen. . . 15 Daler, 27 ?re, 2 Penningar.
From Bornholm's Jordebog of 1662:
?ster Herridt, Ibschier Sogn, Bunde, Nr. 2: Hindze Hansen (Udlagt till ?br. Lieut. Michell Echstein).
Proof that Rasmus Hintze (died 1685) of Lille Myreg?rd, 11 Slg. Nylars, and Gudber Hintze (died 1676) of Hjuleg?rd, 23 Slg. Nylars, are brothers can be found in the January 18, 1694 probate for Rasmus Hintze's son Hintze Rasmussen's wife Hanne Jensdatter. That probate states: "Hindtze Rasmussen at v?re v?rge for sin fader broders daatter Kirstene Gudbersdaatter som til kommer efter en som frender som dateret dend 22 Febr. A. 1677 og dend skiftebref ganged efter salig Rasmus Hindtze, der er dateret den 27 Martij A. 1685 des vidre indhold af den 23 gaard i Nyelaursker Sogn, som Hindtze Rasmussen der af paa bemelte sin myndlings. . . ."
From the January 19, 1691 probate for Hans Hintze of Sandeg?rd, 14 Slg. ?sterlars, points to the possibility that there was a third brother named Hans Hintze, husband of Bendte Hansdatter. The 1691 probate tells us that Bendte had three sons and two daughers: Hans Hintze, Niels Hintze, Hintze Hansen, Kirstine Hansdatter, and Giertrud Hansdatter. A Hans Hintze is known to have held the rights to Hjulereg?rd, 23 Slg. Nylars, from 1667 to 1670. Gudber Hintze (died 1676) took over Hjuleg?rd, 23 Slg. Nylars, in 1670. A Jep Hintze (another brother?) is recorded as living in Nylars parish in 1670, and after Gudber's death in 1676, he took over Hjuleg?rd. It is notable that in 1691 the "v?rge" for Hans Hintze's daughter Giertrud was a "Per Hansen i ?sterlaursker Sogn". Kirstine Hintzedatter's husband was Peder Hansen (died 1697) of Gadeg?rd, 7 Vdg. in ?sterlars parish.
The probate for Hintze Hansen (held on December 13, 1701) tells us that he had a brother named Jens Hansen of Ringeby in Vestermarie parish, and a brother-in-law named Jens Olufsen of "Kieregaarden" in Vestermarie parish. Probate after the death of Jens Hansen was held on February 6, 1702, H?konsg?rd, 39 Slg. in Vestermarie; the probate mentions his brother-in-law "Jens Olsen i Myrebyen" in Vestermarie parish. The probate for Jens Olufsen - held April 20, 1702, K?rg?rd, 1 Slg. in Myreby, Vestermarie - tells us that his wife's name was Kirstine Hansdatter. The names of these three siblings suggests that they are the children of a woman with the patronym of Hintzedatter. The names that these three siblings gave to their daughters suggests that their mother's name was either Giertrud or Megtel. Hintze Hansen's probate tells us that he acted as guardian for a Hintze Gudbersen: "Efter it skiftebref ganged efter denne sl. mands f?rste hustru Margreta Hansdaatter datered den 26 February Ao. 1698 befindes sl. Hintze Hansen at v?rge for Hintze Gudbersen nu uden lands, og efter dend der udi giorde afreigning til kommer Hintze Gudbersen her af boet som og efter dend der udi gi?rende forklaring festaar foruden rente efter det videre indhold penge 15 Sldr. 9 Mk. Saa er nu ved denne sl. mands d?delige afgang till verge anordned Hintze Gudbersens s?stermand Anders Jensen boende i Ellebye i VesterM Sogn. . . ". Hintze Gudbersen must be the son of Gudber Hintze (died 1676), as the probate states that his sister was married to Anders Jensen of Elleby in Vestermarie parish, who must be the same person as Karen Gudbersdatter's second husband, Anders Jensen, of N?rre Ellebyg?rd, 41 Slg. Vestermarie. The June 3, 1704 probate of Anne Larsdatter, wife of Henrich Hansen, tells us that Anders Jensen, of 41 Slg. Vestermarie, was married a close relative of Megtel Hintzedatter's father: Hintze Hansen (died 1701) of 40 Slg. Vestermarie.
Furthermore, two probates point to Hintze Hansen (died 1701), of S?nder Ellebyg?rd, 40 Slg. Vestermarie, being the nephew of Rasmus Hintze (before 1635-1685) and Gudber Hintze (died 1676). The March 27, 1685 probate of Rasmus Hintze names "Hindtze Hansen i Vestermarie Sogn" as representative for Rasmus Hintze's widow Ellene Andersdatter. And the March 18, 1700 probate for Anders Andersen Kure (husband of Gudber Hintze's daughter Karen) states that "Hindse Hansen i Ellebye i VesterM Sogn som er m?derene frende" (Hintze Hansen of Elleby in Vestermarie parish who is a maternal relative), was appointed guardian of Anders Kures's youngest daughter. And finally, we find mention of "Margrete Hintze Hansens i Elleby" attending the September 13, 1691 christening of Rasmus Hintze's grandchild Ellene Hintzedatter (daugher of Hintze Rasmussen and Hanne Jensdatter).
That Kirstine Hintzedatter (before 1630-circa 1697) is sister ot Rasmus Hintze and Gudber Hintze is pure speculation based simply upon her name and the fact that she is a contemporary of those two men. Though it is notable that Kirstine Hintzedatter's son Hans Pedersen (died 1727) was the owner of Sandeg?rd, 14 Slg. ?sterlars, which is the same farm that Bendte Hansdatter's son Hans Hintze was living at at the time of his death in 1691. Possibly Hans Pedersen was able to obtain the rights to the farm because of family inheritance rights?
Finally, a "Hinse Christensen" can be found mentioned several times in the ?ker-?kirkeby kirkebog attending the baptisms of Hans R?mer's children; he was born in ?ker-?kirkeby in 1669, the son of Christen Terchildsen of ?ker. Hans R?mer was married to Hans Hintze and Bendte Hansdatter's daughter Kirstine. Hintze Christensen is mentioned in the years: 1690, 1695, and 1701. Possibly he is a nephew of Hans Hintze? And thus the son of an unknown Hintzedatter and Christen Terchildsen?
Possibly Hintze Hansen's wife was named Kirstine? Possibly she is the daughter of the Gudber Lauridsen who was the taxpayer for S?nder Ellebyg?rd, 40 Slg. Vestermarie, in 1611?

During a meeting of the High-Court in K?benhavn in the summer (July 8th) of 1553, a farmer named "Hans Hindsen" of R? parish presented a document, written and signed by Co-Justices Peder Gagge and Hans Berildsen, to the effect that he was granted ownership to a particular farm in question. This was approved by the court, even though Commander Boitin and Chief Justice Reymer had condemned Gagge's treatment of the case as highly improper and defiant. Spokesmen for L?beck's council laid a complaint about Peder Gagge during a meeting with King Christian III in Kolding in October of 1553. Apparently the King must have put a stop to Gagge's monopoly of decision-making, as not much was later heard from him in council-matters - even though he carried on as co-justice until his death in 1559.
The Reformation had 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 religious in 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 in the region destroyed, despite violent protests.
It was King Christian III (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 Roman Catholic property turned over to the crown, and declared the Lutheran Church the national church of Denmark with the king as its head. Henning (J?rgensen) Gagge was an Attendant at the Royal Court in K?benhavn when King Christian III, on July 21, 1551, proclaimed him as manager over all the property on Bornholm formerly owned by the Roman Catholic Church; this included the responsibility of looking after the poor, and all the hospitals on Bornholm.
That same year the King also proclaimed Henning Gagge's brother Peder Gagge as Co-Justice (Meddommer), together with Hans Berildsen, for Bornholm's "Landsting" (provincial congress), an institution which no longer exists). He made this move in response to the L?beck authorities appointing their own man, mayor Hans Rymer (aka R?mer) of R?nne, as Bornholm's chief justice (landsdommer). As the King's faithful men, the two brothers built up strong legal defenses against Hanseatic League city of L?beck; which had gained "temporary" legal control of Bornholm for 50 years, starting in 1525, as a result of Christian III's father Frederik I's inability to pay debts he owed to that city. They had the right to levy taxes upon the inhabitants, this they did unmercifully - i.e. in 1555 L?beck was forced to return 4,000 units of silver it had obtained through over-taxation. The Bornholmers are recorded to have groaned under the Hansa's rule, and declared "they would rather be under the Turks, than under the German, Christian, imperial free-city."
With King Christian III as their ally, the two brothers made considerable gains protecting the legal rights of the inhabitants, and in maintaining the right of ownership the danish crown had on Bornholm, during their dealings with the learned scholar in Roman Law and L?beck representative: Herman Boitin, commander of Hammershus fortress. In fact Peder Gagge's behaviour was so aggressive that Commander Boitin complained to the L?beck council that Peder Gagge wished to decide all matters his own way, and further more insited the people to disobey and riot against L?beck and its representatives on Bornholm.
