Hans Paludan

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: 1528, Medical University of Montpellier, France

Notes:

In the mainstream encyclopedias, reference is made to numerous Danish families named Paludan. The Flemish-Danish family is descended from the doctor Johannes (Hans) Paludan in East Flanders, Belgium. His daughter Elisabeth Paludan married Hans Ludvig Munthe and they had Hans Ludvigsen Munthe.

Johannes Paludan enrolled at the Medical University of Montpellier, France, in 1528, and according to Montpellier Medical University records he was born in 1497 at a place called Hetland van Aalst at Ghent in East Flanders - a Land in the area around the town of Aalst in Belgium, on the river Dender. His name was originally “Van den Broeck.” The family tradition has him coming from Gent—two villages with the same name may have been mixed up in the medical school records. There is also a possibility that he was a brother of Nicholas Buscoducensis.

The medical school quote is as follows: "1528: 883rd Paludanus Joannes, Alostensis, dioctyl Cameracensis. (Schyron) 13 Janvier". This means: “Hans Paludan came from the city or country Aalst in Cambrai pin in present Belgium. He was on 13.1.1528 enrolled at Montpellier University medical school, probably the doctor Schyron. “ Years later, a son, Joannes Paludanus, also enrolled at the same medical school.,

The Medical University of Montpellier expelled Michel de Nostredame, or "Nostradamus", in 1529 for working as an apothecary, considered a "manual trade", and expressly forbidden in the school's statutes.

Hans Paludan (or Johannes Paludanus) was a physician in Gent, Dr of medicine 1548-1565 and later Physicus ordinarius in Lübeck. After becoming protestant, the family fled to Lübeck along with other wealthy families, to escape the new Spanish rule and high taxes. A family legend says he was thrown in prison by the Duke of Alba, whom he cured.

His son, Hans Paludan (1538 Ghent - Nov. 19 1615 Viborg ) was arch-deacon and personal physician to Queen Dowager Dorothea on Koldinghus and Sønderborg Castle. Subsequently he was for several years a doctor in Viborg and had pharmacies privilege (for the entire Jutland ) in Viborg, 8 December 1577 to 5 februar 1587. Hans Paludan had only daughters in his marriage and did not continue the name.

He married Barbara van der Rhone with whom he fathered four children - Barbara, Hans, Rasmus, and Elisabeth. Johannes Paludan died on 15 Oct 1565 in Lübeck and is buried in St. Katharine's Church in Lübeck. At some point after her husband's death, Barbara van der Rone traveled with her son Hans Paludan to Denmark. Here she lived presumably with son in law Hofpræsten Christoffer Knoph, who was married to her daughter Barbara in 1569.

Hans married Barbara Von Der Rone in 1535 in Ghent, Oost-Vlaanderen, Belgium. Barbara was born in 1510 in Ghent, Oost-Vlaanderen, Belgium; died in 1578 in København, København, Sjælland, Denmark. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
