Notes |
- Marcus Christensen Humble (born 1601 , died 1661 ) was superintendent of Stavanger from 1655 until his death. He was the son of a parish priest in Humble on Langeland , Denmark, Christen Pedersen (died 1624) and Maren Gregersdatter.
Marcus Humble graduated in 1624 from Odense school. In 1627 he was ordained as personnel chaplain for Tranekjær and Tullebølle . In 1629 he was appointed parish priest for Karleby and Horreby in Falster . In 1641 he became a master . Then he was ordained a clergyman at the consulate in Osnabrü ck . As this was a temporary job, he did not resign from Falster. In 1650 he was transferred to the large parish called Faarevejle in Ods herred .
In 1655 he became bishop of Stavanger, but died as early as April 8, 1661.
He must have been a skilled and learned man. We know of one writing of which he was the author. It was "The Perfect Life of True Faith". It was published in 1646, and with a new edition in 1754.
He was married twice. First with the priest daughter from Stubbekjøbing Ingeborg Andersdatter Beske. She became the mother of six children and died shortly before leaving for Norway. The second time he married Anna Kristensdatter Trane, who was a widow of former Bishop Thomas Kortsen Wegner. They brought seven children into the marriage. Anna Kristensdatter Trane died in 1696.
