Early life
He was born on 1 August in Copenhagen, the son of the Royal confessor (Danish: kongelig confessionarius[1]) Iver Brinck (1665–1728) and Sophie Seidelin (1693–1741). His maternal grandfather was Post Master-General Hans Seidelin.
Property
Brinck-Seidelin's maternal uncle, Hans Hansen Seidelin, had no male heirs. He therefore endowed the estates Hagestedgård and Holbæk Ladegård to Hans Diedrik Brinck-Seidelin with the intention that they be turned into a stamhus (entailed estate or family trust) for future generations of the Seidelin family. Brinck-Seidelin purchased Eriksholm and established Stamhuset Hagested from his now three estates in 1752. He was at the same time ennobled under the name de Brinck-Seidelin. Hagestedgård was, however, with royal approbation, sold to Carl Adolph von Castenschiold in 1769.[2]
