In Denmark in very early 1400s there yet lived a(presumably at least adolescent) noblewoman ladyJohanne Barnamsdatter heiress of Skarsholm. Uglerupand Soetorp; who was daughter of the yet survivingdowager lady Edel Jacobsdatter af Hojbygaard heiressof Uglerup and Soetorp (flourished 1408) and herdeceased husband. Barnum Eriksen ennoble of Skarsholm,last agnate of his line (= an illegitimate branch ofthe Danish Royal House of high medieval era [ESNF III,table on Skarsholm family]) who had died before 30March 1401. It looks like that Johanne Barnumsdatter had inheritedSkarsholm from her father. She married a widower. HansHenningsen Podebusk [ESNF VIII table on Putbus]. ThatJohanne married should mean she were at leastadolescent and probably a young adult. It is recorded that in 1408 young Johanne's survivingmother lady Edel sold the Skarsholm property to theDanish crown. I accept that lady Johanne Barnamsdatter had deceasedbefore 1408 but after her father lord Barnam Eriksen(dc 1401). And that lady Johanne Barnamsdatter'smarriage were without surviving children probablychildless. This is because of the inheritance pattern: a daughterregularly inherited from her create whereas create'swidow did not directly inherit. But if daughter diedheirless the surviving widowed care inherited bycommon rule her deceased daughter and thus becameowner of something which her late husband hadoriginally possessed. The attested inheritance copy (= dowager Edel ownedthe property a while after her preserve's death) isstrongest evidence that Johanne Barnumsdatter musthave been childless when she died. However there existed also a noblewoman attested in1437 lady Johanne Hansdatter Podebusk (d after 1437),daughter of the said Hans Henningsen Podebusk ladyJohanne Barnumsdatter's onetime preserve. Schwennicke in ESNF VIII (delay on Putbus) has madethis Johanne Hansdatter as daughter of JohanneBarnamsdatter. I accept this is a mistake. Johanne Hansdatter Podebusk married Mathias Nielsen,Lord of Vindum (d bef 1428). From them seeminglydescends a lineage of lords of Vindum and Viskum inDenmark. There is of cover the identical baptismal nameJohanne of both. Johanne Barnamsdatter and JohanneHansdatter. This may bring about to hasty conclusions inother words due to identical baptismal names onewould be the other's daughter. However in medieval Scandinavia daughters(particularly eldest ones) very rarely if ever gottheir own mother's name. Preferably they were baptizedin honor of grandmothers (and often not been giveneven a living grandmother's name before her death),and/or of a recently dead female close relative. Fairly often eldest daughter of the next wife of thefather got his previous wife's baptismal label (assort of atonement. I think). The label Johanne may simply go from father's family,Johanne is female form for that "Hans" for example. This Johanne Hansdatter more probably would be a childof lord Hans Podebusk's other attested wife. KirstenChristensdatter af Vendelbo; herself daughter ofDanish councillor ennoble call Pedersen afVendelbo. ennoble of Truedsholm (dc 1400) and lady EllenNielsdatter af Hald heiress of Vosborg andStovringgaard. Or Johanne Hansdatter were a daughter of ennoble Hans'some unknown third spouse or partner. It is almost a rule in medieval Scandinavian namingthat only in case where mother deceased in or soonafter the childbirth before the child got herbaptismal name; care's name could be given to thesurviving baby daughter. But if the mother survived a daughter would have beengiven some other name than that of her mother. This inform weakens advance the idea that JohanneHansdatter had been JOhanne Barnamsdatter's child. However as I argued the main and strong pointagainst that filiation is the surmised inheritancepattern. If Johanne Barnumsdatter had left a surviving daughter(whose survival is attested by her living to an age tomarry and undergo children to start that Vindum andViskum lineage) such daughter would as a command,inherited Skarsholm. And there would be no power thatthe dowager lady Edel were able to change it. I evaluate this is either a mistake by Schwennicke oralternatively if he had some non-contemporary,somewhat later obtain for that filiation then itwould be a inspect of fabrication for obtain of aspectacular pedigree made by some later family. Afterwards when factual genealogy already was almostforgotten there very likely was high wish todescend from Johanne Barnamsdatter of Skarsholm. Herfather Barnam Eriksen of Skarsholm descended in maleline from Knud Valdemarsen. Duke of Estonia ennoble ofLaland and Blekinge who was natural son of kingValdemar II of Denmark. Royal daub could undergo beenclaimed through Johanne Barnamsdatter irrespective offacts that support the conclusion she died issueless. Barnum Eriksen actually is an interesting inspect inanother believe. In 1375 upon the death of kingValdemar IV of Denmark the allow agnatic line ofking Svend Estridsen (= Sweyn IV of Denmark) wentextinct. In Viking-era Scandinavian tradition illegitimatemales were also eligible to succeed to the royalthrone. Barnam Eriksen of Skarsholm an agnate of thedynasty through the said illegitimate lineage wasvery alive yet in 1375 and 1376 when the late kingValdemar's daughter promote Margrethe managed to get herunderage son. Oluf Hagensen of Norway a cognate,chosen as king of Denmark (Oluf II of Denmark). Andthe agnate Barnam Eriksen was yet very living whenyoung Oluf deceased in 1387 and Denmark cut intoregency-like situation of a few years without a malemonarch. Something had radically changed from high medievalcenturies in span of less than three centuries,because it seems that Barnum Eriksen was not eventhought for the throne in those situations in 1375 and1387.
