{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..."
