{geni:about_me} Hun er angiveligt >maaske datter af< Kai Lykke og Anne Cathrine Ulfeldt, og det maa indrømmes at fødselsaaret understøtter paastanden , men det gør navngivningen bestemt ikke.

Ejvind Christensen: XKai Lykke was well-known as a libertine, and it was told that he could get every virgin (Jomfru) he could wish.
A "Jomfru" was not allways a virgin. Noble ladies was called "Jomfru" even if they were married several times and had a lot of children.
Then I looked in some of my books too, and I looked on the internet. I find only very small informations about that marriage, and even not in Bramming, where Kai Lykke was living on his older days, there are any information aboutthat daughter.X

Tom Askerøi: "I am a descendant of Martha Lauritsdatter Friis.
I haven't found her parents, but I can assure you that she's NOT an illegitimate child of Caj Lykke.
That's a constuction from Hans H. Kjølsen in the book "Den fynske slægt Hastrup" on his taking a family tradition that her daughter-daughter (I think it was) was related to Corfitz Ulefeldt.
In eagerness of finding "fine" anchestors he has believed that that meant she was a descendant of Corfitz Ulefeldt. I am absolutely sure she isn't. Why? Simply because you wouldn't say that she's "related to Corfitz Ulefeld" - you'd say she came from the royal family!!
So forget Caj Lykke. But I can believe that there's something to the family tradition - she could very well be related to Corfitz Ulefeld.
My guess is that, being a Friis - and there are plenty Friis families - both honorable and (sorry my lack of english words here) "normal" families. But as this was not something to flag - it has to be a noble family that "fell out" of the noble system due to "foolish" (and probably very much so) behaviour, but which was married into the Ulefelt family.
And there actually is such a family. And better stil - a family where Laurits are the most common male first name! The Friis' to Vadskærgaard. Which, according to Dansk Adels Aarbog (Danish Nobility Yearbook) 1942 ended with someLaurits' being executed for murder etc. And married into to Ulefeld family! Unfortunately I haven't (yet) found the link between Martha and these "unfortunate" Friis'. But I believe THAT'S where we must be looking for Martha's ancestor's..."

Romance, gossip and a mock execution that fooled the Queen - January 07, 1999 - Volume 2, Issue 01

By Cathy Conlon

King Frederik III of Denmark's Queen, Sofie Amalie was not among Denmark's most popular, in fact she is remembered more for her bizarre mood swings and frequent execution decrees against those she considered her enemies, than forher virtues as Queen of Denmark. The unpopular Queen is reported to have installed fear into the heart of many a courtier, and woe was he or she who dared to ignite Sofie Amalie's wrath. In fact some stories tell of a vindictive Queen who was just a little too fond of proclaiming "Off with his head!"
   
Sofie Amalie's notorious hatred for those who displeased her is probably best seen in the bizarre tale of the executed doll. The story, which is still recounted today in both royal and public circles, has not lost any of its strangeness in the 338 years since the events occurred.
   
Our story begins in 1661 during the reign of King Frederik III and Queen Sofie Amalie, with Kaj Lykke, who was a nobleman and a landowner known in court circles. Although he was one of the wealthier members of the landed gentry Lykke was reportedly more interested in matters of the heart than he was in matters of the state. Tongues wagged all over court and over tea in the parlours of Denmark's aristocrats recounting the romantic escapades of the amorous Lykke. Many were baffled by Lykke's obvious success with the ladies. After all he was not an attractive man - in fact it was said that he bore a remarkable resemblance to a portly sheared sheep! Nevertheless this Danish Casanova had the ability to make ladies of all ages and classes go weak at the knees with his romantic overtures.
   
Sofie Abelsdatter, a humble and lowly servant girl was no exception. Sofie was one of a host of young girls who fell prey to Lykke's charms. Employed as a parlour maid on one of Lykke's estates their affair began in the spring of1656 - an affair that would inadvertently lead to the end of Lykke's charmed existence, as he knew it.
   
Word of Lykke's scandalous liaison with a servant girl spread quickly. Sofie was greatly distressed and saddened that her love for Lykke had resulted in her becoming fodder for vicious tongues. And how those tongues wagged. "To think that a man of his noble standing would allow himself to be associated with such a lowly creature." Whispered the courtiers. Even the farm labourers and townsfolk once so amiable began to shun Sofie. "We don't want the likes of you around these parts." They hissed.
   
In an effort to comfort the melancholy Sofie, Lykke wrote many a love letter urging his lover to disregard such scorn saying; "My dear, pay no heed, you should hear what they are saying here at court about our very own Queen Sofie Amalie. They say that she lies with her lackeys."
   
The scandal however, was too much for the young and inexperienced Sofie. Knowing that she could never hope to marry her Lord and Master, poor Sofie broke off the liaison and reverted to her life as a mere servant girl. Happiness did eventually come to Sofie, who married Lykke's groom Peder Børting a little over a year later.
   
Time passed. Sofie and Peder were content and Lykke continued to melt the hearts of serfs and gentry alike. However, in 1660 a conflict over money arose between Lykke and the Børtings. Filled with anger Sofie seized the opportunity to use the long forgotten love letters as a dangerous weapon against her former sweetheart. Within days the letter with the treacherous remark about Queen Sofie Amalie lay in the hands of the Royal Prosecutor.
   
Once the wrathful Queen learned of the letter there was little if no hope at all for the Danish gigolo. Outraged by the apparent insult the Queen decreed that Lykke's right hand be hacked off in front of her palace in Copenhagen.Thereafter he was to be beheaded with his disembodied head placed on a stake outside the palace as a warning to anyone who would dare dishonour the Queen.
   
Aware that the letter could very well be interpreted as treason and fearing for his life, Lykke had quickly gathered his assets and escaped to foreign shores. Any search for the convicted nobleman would indeed be fruitless. Terrified that failure to produce Lykke might end in their own deaths, the Queen's prosecutor, guards and executioner decide to mock up an execution, using an effigy of Lykke having failed to track down the real man. After all, the Queen would be viewing the proceedings from a safe distance at one of the palace windows. She would never know.
   
Thereafter followed what must be one of the most bizarre executions in history. A doll made to resemble Kaj Lykke was brought before the guillotine. In a very public display the executioner hacked off the limp hand of 'Lykke' while the soldiers on guard moved the doll around in an effort to simulate Lykke writhing in agony. The doll was then dragged 'kicking and struggling' to the block where, without delay, his head was chopped off.
   
Bizarre though is may sound, the plan worked. For weeks afterwards, the woodenhead of the doll was posted high on a stake overlooking the hustle and bustle of 17th century Copenhagen life. And the story goes that Queen Sofie Amalie went to her grave in 1685 believing that Kaj Lykke had met a just end. For his part Lykke returned to Denmark after the Queen's death and word has it that he used the story of his own 'execution' to charm women until his death some 14 years later.

--------------------

Corfitz Ulfeldt (født 10. juli 1606 på Hagenskov slot ved Assens, død mellom 14. og 20. februar 1664) var en dansk politiker og senere landsforræder.



Bakgrunn og familie

Ulfeldt var sønn av rikskansler Jakob Ulfeldt og Birgitte Brockenhuus. Han giftet seg 9. oktober 1636 med Christian 4.s og Kirsten Munks datter Leonora Christina.

Oldefedre på morens side var riksmarsk Frands Brockenhuus og admiral Peder Skram. Også Oluf Akselsen Thott - en av Akselsønnerne - er blant hans forfedre, likesom Tyge Krabbe som var hans tippoldefar.



Utdannelse

Ulfeldt var elev ved Herlufsholm skole i perioden 1613-1617. I 1618 ble han sendt på studiereise til flere europeiske land sammen med fem av sine brødre. Han var immatrikulert ved universitetet i Padova i 1628-1629, hvor han studerte hos venetianeren Cesare Cremonini.



Arbeid hos kongen

I desember 1629 ble Corfitz Ulfeldt hoffjunker og i 1630 kammerjunker hos Christian 4. Som kammerjunker var det hans ansvar å tilrettelegge kongens hverdag.

23 år gammel ble han forlovet med den 9-årige kongedatter Leonora Christina, og i 1636 gjorde Christian 4. ham til medlem av riksrådet og i 1637 også stattholder på Københavns slott, hvor han fikk tilsyn med Københavns forvaltning og ansvaret for orlogsverftet på Bremerholm, for Tøjhuset og for Provianthuset. Han deltok i fredsforhandlingene mellom Danmark-Norge og Sverige som i 1645 førte frem til Freden i Brömsebro.



Utenlandsopphold

Han var på diplomatisk reise til England 1640 og 1642, og til keiseren i Regensburg 1641. Han ble utnevnt til rikshofmester 1. april 1643. Sammen med Leonora Christina ble han sendt på diplomatisk reise til Haag og Paris i 1646.



Konge i Danmark

Etter Christian 4.s død styrte Ulfeldt Danmark i flere måneder, inntil svogeren Frederik 3. ble innsatt som konge. Forholdet mellom de to herskelystne herrene var ikke godt. Rikshofmester Ulfeldt gjorde i forbindelse med kongevalget 1648 alt for å innskrenke kong Frederiks makt. Han på sin side innledet en undersøkelse mot Ulfeldt, hvor hans finansadministrasjon ble gransket. Kongen underskrev 1651 et dokument hvor en hel rekke anklager ble rettet mot rikshofmesteren, blant annet ble han mistenkt for å ha begått underslag på flere hundre tusen daler fra Øresundstollen, som han personlig administrerte.



I svensk tjeneste

Ulfeldt fant det da best å flykte til utlandet, og gikk deretter i svensk tjeneste. I Sverige arbeidet han år etter år med å hisse opp den svenske regjeringen mot Danmark. Da Karl X Gustav 1657 bestemte seg for å invadere Danmark, sluttet Corfitz Ulfeldt seg personlig til den svenske hær og dro som fiende frem gjennom sitt eget fedreland. Dermed ble han også medansvarlig for mordene på tusenvis av sine landsmenn. Ulfeldt lånte også velvillig og av egen lomme på denne tid den svimlende sum av 150 000 riksdaler som understøttelse til den svenske kongen; penger han med stor sannsynlighet hadde stjålet fra den danske stat.

Med en dansk landsforræder ved sin side og med den danske stats penger i lommen lyktes det således Karl X Gustav at erobre nesten hele Danmark, og en viss sadisme kan spores hos svenskekongen da han ved fredsforhandlingene sendtelandsforræderen Ulfeldt som svensk forhandler til Danmark.

I 1658 ble Ulfeldt utnevnt til en av guvernørene over det erobrede Skåne. Han kom imidlertid snart på kant med Karl X Gustav og ble blant annet anklaget for å ha røpet stormen på København under den andre danske krig.



Fengslet i Danmark

Ulfeldt ble idømt husarrest mens han ventet på rettssaken, men hadde flaks og flyktet sammen med sin hustru Leonora Christina til Danmark, hvor de ble atter fengslet og satt inn på Hammershus festning på Bornholm. Her ble ekteparet underlig nok løslatt etter et bønneskrift. Betingelsen var at de frasa seg alt de eide.

På en utenlandsreise i 1662 fortalte Ulfeldt kurfyrsten Wilhelm af Brandenburg at han planla å styrte den danske kongen, og han tilbød kurfyrsten Danmarks krone. Da Wilhelm avslørte ham, ble Ulfeldt dømt til døden i Danmark.

Man fikk aldri tak i ham, men hustruen, kongsdatteren Leonora Christina, ble arrestert under et besøk i England og satt i fengsel i Blåtårn på Københavns Slot. Hun ble først løslatt etter 22 år og døde i 1698. Ulfeldt døde i 1664i Tyskland som en lutfattig og forfulgt mann.

Corfitz Ulfeldt (født 10. juli 1606, død mellom 14. og 20. februar 1664) var en dansk adelsmann og politiker. Han var sønn av rikskansler Jakob Ulfeldt og Birgitte Brockenhuus.

Ulfeldt var elev ved Herlufsholm skole i perioden 1613X1617. I 1618 ble han sendt på dannelsesreise til flere europeiske land sammen med fem av sine brødre. Han var immatrikulert ved universitetet i Padova i 1628X1629, hvor han studerte hos venetianeren Cesare Cremonini.

Tilbake i Danmark ble han i desember 1629 utnevnt til hoffjunker og i 1630 til kammerjunker hos Christian IV. Som kammerjunker var det hans ansvar å tilrettelegge kongens hverdag.

23 år gammel ble han forlovet med den 9Xårige Leonora Christina som var datter av Christian IV og hans ektefelle til venstre hånd; Kirsten Munk. Ekteskapet kom i stand på bakgrunn av Christian IVs langsiktige strategi når det gjaldt ønsket om å kunne demme opp for riksrådets makt. Han sørget for å få døtrene han hadde med Kirsten Munk gift med sønner fra høyadelen for på denne måten å danne en lojal adelsfraksjon. Ulfeldt og Leonora Christina giftet seg først 9. oktober 1636
