Frants Banner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frants Banner was the son of Marshal of the Realm and privy counsellor Erik Eriksen Banner (c. 1484 – 1554) and Mette Rosenkrantz (død 1533). He is first mentioned in 1546 as lensmann of the provost in Aarhus and was possibly then part of the administration.[1]
In 1548, he took part in Princess Anna's wedding procession to Sachsen. He was lensmann of Holbæk from 1550. After his father's death I 1554 he took over his father's fief Kalø instead and finally Børglum kloster in 1557–1574. In the Northern Seven Years' War, he served as a ritmester of the Jutland Cacalry.[1]
He married Anne Johansdatter Oxe /buried 4 May 1581 in Torslev Church), a daughter of Johan Oxe of Nielstrup (died 1534) and Mette Gøye (død ca. 1537).
He inherited Kokkedal from his father and Ryegaard from his mother.[2] In 1573, he ceded Ryegaard to the Crown in exchange for Ø Kloster in Jutland. He renamed Ø Kloster Oxholm as a tribute to his wife's family. His family ties to his brother-in-law Peder Oxe have probably secured him a better position than he would otherwise have had.[1]
