    • Anna Hansdatter Svane was born at Ribe, the daughter of Hans Svaning and Marine Sørensdatter Stage. Her grandfather was historian Hans Svaning (ca. 1500- 1584) whose surname was subsequently altered to Svane. In 1590, she was married to the mayor of Horsens, burgher merchant Hans Olufsen Riber (d. 1615). The couple had seven children, two of whom died as infants. Her daughter Anne Svane (ca. 1596) was married to mayor of Horsens Ernst von Baden. One son Oluf Svane (ca. 1601) became mayor of Horsens. Her youngest son Hans Svane (1606-1668) would become Bishop of the Diocese of Zealand.

      After the death of her spouse, she took over his business and managed his properties in Horsens. She became a leading member of the then growing wealthy Danish burgher class. During the sack of Jutland by German troops during the Thirty Years' War in 1627-29, she fled to her son Hans in Frisia.

      In 1631, she founded a home for poor widows called Svaneboligen at Fugholm 16 in Horsens. The foundation was the first of its kind in Horsens and belonged to the first institutions of its kind in Denmark. Anna Svane died at Horsens in 1637 and was buried at Horsens Klosterkirke.

      AS grew up in a home as a result of his father's work must have been influenced by spiritual and intellectual pursuits. A good testimony of the home's special character is that almost all of her brothers had a university education and that her sisters were married to professors, priests, an alderman and a bailiff. AS was by all accounts one of the youngest in the large sibship of 15 In 1590, she entered in Ribe marriage with Hans Olufsøn Riber. She was probably pretty young when she was breaking. Those of her sisters, as we know both birth and death year for only 15 and 16 years of marriage, which incidentally was not unusual for girls from this social strata. This age was recommended also by Luther to prevent pre-marital sexual relations.

      AS sat live in Horsens, where her husband was mayor. He had already for some years operated business acumen here, where his sister Anna was married to the city's second mayor. AS was the mayor's wife in her marriage samfulde 25 years. The couple had seven children, two of whom died in infancy. His daughter Anne was married to a later Mayor of Horsens Ernst von Baden.

Finally, AS the mother of the later renowned professor and bishop of Zealand, Hans Hansen S., who was one of the prominent men of stændermødet in 1660 prior to the introduction of absolute monarchy. AS was included in the network that in the aftermath of the Reformation consisted of the country's richest and most powerful citizens and educated clergy. She was part of a long chain of self-conscious Protestant mayor families. Her maternal grandparents and in-laws were borgmesterpar, her sister-mayor's wife, a sister married an alderman, and she herself was the mother of a Mayor's wife and a mayor. Girls as AS was attractive partners for clergy and large drugstores because they could read and write well-known environment and the tasks to be solved in a large household. Conversely gave these men's households scope to the talents, the girls through upbringing had been equipped with.

The house is still called the Swan property is located in the street Fugholm. Widow Foundation was the first of its kind in Horsens and one of the first in Denmark. Also in other ways put themselves AS a memory. The Abbey Church of Horsens is one of the oldest epitaphs, and here she is the central person. The painting depicts her parents, spouse, AS themselves, their daughter and son in law who was borgmesterpar in Horsens, and her other children. The production of children shows that it must be painted before the 1614th The framework and parts of the inscription are younger. The idea of ??creation as well epitaph was no stranger to the AS. Her family in Ribe had previously donated money so that poor people could get a roof over your head, but she was the first who made a living solely designed for women. Also had several relatives charged setup epitaphs of Ribes churches. Her morfaders epitaph was created by painter Lauritz Andersen, who in 1600 moved from Ribe to Aarhus, where he was shop until his death in 1637. Indeed, he who has painted epitaph in the Abbey Church. With the epitaph which so clearly refers to Jaipur city's most prominent scholars of citizenship and its ancestors, marked AS and her family both their piety and their family history and self-consciousness.

      Anna was born and raised in Ribe - who at the age of almost 17 years old, married with Horsens mayor Hans Olufsøn Riber - son of Oluf Staby, who was also Ripenser - and just as Anna was born in Ribe. They were married in Ribe cathedral in the 9th august in the year of our Lord 1595.

      Hans Olufsøn Riber was a reputable and highly prosperous merchant in Horsens at 45 years old when he married Anne. That he was also mayor in more than 25 years in Horsens, probably has not been bad business, but he was a pious and honest grocer.

      It was a happy marriage that lasted for 25 years minus one week of his death 7 days before they should have had their silver wedding. Together they had 5 children. Else, Anne, Oluf, Michael and Donald.

      Anne Svane was a good and loving mother to her children. But she was also a "fighter" who knew how to take a hand in things when necessary. Evidence suggests that she was also skilled at the business level, after her husband's death she drove his business forward while she would secure the future of her 5 children.

      2 of their sons became prominent figures in the Danish political scene, namely, the eldest son Oluf Svane and his brother - Roskilde bishop Hans Svane. On of them has our special interest - in the family context - is the later Horsens mayor Olufsen (Riber) Swan.

      But first a little about the archbishop of Roskilde "Hans Svane", which indeed is a significant historical figure in the Danish context.

      The background was Denmark's disastrous economic situation after the Swedish wars. The nobility had abandoned during the wars, and there was widespread resentment against them and their tax exemption.

      By clever tactical games, including by Hans Svane and Hans Nansen, was outmaneuvered nobility and Frederick III elected hereditary monarch. Thus fell the fierce charter, he had to sign the 1648th

      Hans Svane is probably best known for his involvement in the large stænderdermøde in 1660, and his struggle for the introduction of absolute monarchy and the abolition of the nobility's privileges. But he was also a wealthy man in particular, King borrowed some money, as this used include the war against Swedes.

      So when King Frederik III, after the war, gave Roskilde Len citizens in Copenhagen - as thanks for their bravery in the war against the Swedes - forgot the king, however, that large parts of the county had pledged to Bishop Svane in Roskilde and Interest Master Müller.

      Since these two mortgagees knew their rights, it led to tough negotiations which ended with Bishop Svane, 53 farms and 33 houses, Interest Master Müller had 42 houses, 8 mills and large forests. So it was a considerable fortune in real estate he had.

      His daughter Anne Svane - 60 +

      Kinch writes about "Anna had on 9th August 1590 wedding with Hans Olufsen Riber, Borger and later Mayor of Horsens and was the mother of the celebrated Bishop (Archbishop) Dr Hans Svane of Zealand Diocese, who played a leading part in Widow Violence Corey Introduction 1660 . "

      Hans Olufsen Riber, who was the son of Olaf Staby in Ribe, had 2 sisters, of whom Else was married to Peter Lambertsen in Ribe, and Anne Anders Madsen, Mayor of Horsens.

      Peder Hegelund noted in his almanac that "At night or early morning on 18th gave birth to Mary Swan's with a daughter." and it must have been Anne who was born on 18th October The 1573rd

      This branch of the family settled in Horsens area.
