- From the research of Sigvard Mahler Dam:
The tracing of the family line generally ends with the knight Anders Gagge - so how is it I have placed "Henrik Kagge" into the family lineage? The early descendants of the family were sometimes named "Kagge" as well as "Gagge", so we should consider being open to the above alternative. Furthermore, Henrik is known to have lived in Oxie district, the same place where the later Gagge-family arose!
Until now the oldest man of the family has been "Ridderen" (Knight) Anders Gagge, whom we met here above. However, there were others, a Mogens Svendsen, named Gagge, is mentioned in "Provst" (Dean) Anders' gift-deed to the cathedral in Lund dated March 14, 1303. The dean gave two abodes in Lund, which he had purchased from Mogens Gagge, but we can not determine when this purchase had occured, or whether Mogens Gagge was still alive in 1303.
Henrik Kagge is mentioned as an Esquire (V?bner) in Sk?ne in 1299, and mentioned by name again in 1308, when King Erik Menved had deprived him of his property in Scania because he had connection with enemies of the king of Denmark (whom had been identified in connection with the murder of King Erik Glipping). Henrik Gagge was also likely judged an outlaw because of his family's alliance with the Hvide-family - which was largely blamed for the murder of king Erik Glipping.
In 1299 there was in Denmark a serious dispute between King Erik Menved and the archbishop of Lund, Jens Grand. The Pope sent a deputy to Denmark to provide a judgement between the two parties. On July 15, 1299 there was a meeting in K?benhavn, and the archbiphop's deputy was "kannik" (canon) Niels Bunkeflo, whose surname came from the town - outside of Malm? - where his manor house, or his family's manor, lay. He regrettably decided that some of the archbiphop's adherents were to be deprived of their property, and one of esquires was Henrik Kagge.
It is hard to see that the archbishop and his adherents got something positive out of their complaint to the Pope's envoy. They were outlawed in Denmark - there they were judged innocent of the murder of King Erik Klipping - had sought refuge with the king in Norway. In a document, which is dated "before August 29, 1308", the Norwegian king a issued a complaint against the Danish king, there had been granted to them an armstice, "under den overenskomst kom vor mand Hr. Ove Kagge og andre gode m?nd med ham til Viborg i tillid til den sikkerhed og fred" (under this agreement came our man Sir Ove Kagge and other good men with him to Viborg with confidence of safety and peace). However, there townsmen came across him and wounded him, he died of his injuries, and they killed four other men that were with him at that time, and placed them in unconsecrated ground, where one usually buried thieves and criminals. And along with him they imprisoned his brother, Henrik Assersen, and six other esquires and wounded many people, both priests and laymen, and many others, and they took all their things from them. An esquire was tortured in the prison, and he died as a result. Since they took him out to a field and buried him with the others. The other five esquries they brought before the king of Denmark, and he imposed upon them the highest penalty that they were able to endure, and they never received reperation for their injuries.
It is tempting in Henrik Assersen, brother of Ove Kagge, to see among the archbishop's supporters who were violated by the king a Henrik and his brother Ove Kagge, who must therefore be sons of an "Asser Kagge". When we next remember Sir Anders Gagge's power of attorney at the sale of a portion of the estate in Gavn?, namely for esquire Asser Jonsen (Skalder), and thus it is possible to think that he might be a daughter-son of Asser Kagge, and thus be a cousin of Anders Gagge.
It is also worth mentioning that the above mentioned Niels Bunkeflo, who was a native of Oxie district where the Gagges also had at home, in 1346 (yes, he lived to a great old age!) had two male heirs: Jens Andersen (Skalder) and Niels Gagge (Sir Anders' son).
