Henning Eggertsen Stockfleth

Notes:

Henning Stockfleth belonged to a large circle of relatives immigrated sønderjyder that under the governor's management-dominated Eastern in the decades around 1650. As a bishop in Christiania 1646-64, he was influenced by this network.

Stockfleth 1629 went from Latin school in Haderslev to the University of Rostock, continued in 1632 to the University of Wittenberg and came 1635 to the University of Copenhagen. There, he took the 1637 Master's degree in theology. His parents and brothers had moved from 1628 to 1629 Haderslev to Bragernes, and with the governor using the established and other relatives as merchants and officials in several districts in eastern Norway. Henning Stockfleth was from 1637 rector of the cathedral school at Christiania, besides, he became professor of logic and metaphysics at the high school there (founded 1636 to provide education to prospective priests). 1641 he became vicar of Aker, a priest at Akershus Castle and Dean in Bragernes prostitution, and during a visit to Christiania in 1646 appointed him to the four Christian bishop in Akershus staple. The king was deeply involved in the church board and gave the first order to the trial sermons, with participation by others. Stockfleth was recommended to the vacant episcopal office of governor, Hannibal Sehested. Popularly stated that Sehesteds wife, Christian 4's daughter Christiane, had bet 200 ducats with Stockfleth that he would get the position.

Stockfleth was a rich man as a bishop. Sehested arranged to increase the salary of 200 thalers a year, and Frederik 3 gave him duty free beer and wine for three years for speeches by kongehyllingen 1648. Sehested exploited bishop debt of gratitude by getting him on a makeskifte governor of newly acquired Norwegian private goods with attractive goods that belonged to religious institutions.

Under Sehesteds influence was Stockfleth a less zealous bishop than what was common in the Lutheran orthodoxy. Sehested must have amused themselves when the priests gjøv loose on each other with harsh accusations. He gave theology lecturer at the school, Niels Svendssøn Chronich , free rein to sharp attacks on priests in the city, and it developed into a hateful war of words between them without the bishop intervened, apparently because Sehested not want it. After the fall of 1651 Sehesteds Stockfleth began to tighten the reins, and 1652 Chronich moved to Copenhagen. There he was convicted in 1655 for heresy and imprisoned.

Struggles of Christiania and hinterland continued in the following years. Stockfleth was less passive. Attracted the greatest attention that the professor and doctor Ambrosius Rhodius supported his wife Anna's harsh accusations against officials in Christiania, also against Stockfleth. Men's Day 1661 sentenced them to prison for libel, and in 1662 they were deported to Vardøhus.

In the early 1660s opposed Stockfleth priest brothers Alf Pederssøn Adolph Ringsaker and Iver Pederssøn Adolph in Fron. They were in conflict with men in Stockfleths network, with strong support from farmers. It seemed that the brothers should be sentenced and peasant leaders in Ringsaker imprisoned since 1664, died Stockfleth governor Iver Krabbe was followed by UF Gyldenløve. When was the trial of brothers Adolph called off.

It is preserved part likprekener from Henning Stockfleths hand, including over stattholder Gregers Krabbe governor over and over Jens Bjelke wife Sophie Brockenhuus.
