- From the research of Sigvard Mahler Dam:
In the year 1300 esquire (v?bner) Asser Jonsen of the family Skalder transferred a farm in Abben?s (Hammer district) to St. Peder's Closter in N?stved. He was not in attendance during the transaction, but sent a bailiff to take care of his interests. Attached to this deed of conveyance is Anders Gagge's power of attorney ( in 1302) to the same Asser Jonsen regarding a deed of conveyance af Anders Gagges's property in Abbetved and Gavn? to the same closter.
On April 20, 1303 in Lund can be found mentioned a "Hr. Anders Gagge" - when he is called "Hr." (Sir) it convey's that he is a "Ridder" (Knight) - in a property transaction in Malm?. On August 8, 1304 a Madam Johanne, the widow of a knight, Hr. Gudmund (Gudmundsen) Litle, wrote her "testamente" (will). Some family members placed their seals upon the document, among them was "Andreas kaldet Gagge ridder".
When we note that the later Gagge-family, which lived at a "hovedg?rd" (manor house) in Oxie district outside of Malm?, is it tempting to tie Anders Gagge to this family.
It is often largely just speculation when we try to put together family lines in the middle ages. Unfortunately the above mentioned documents only remain as transcripts, so we do not know what "v?benskjold" (coat of arms) Hr. Anders Gagge used. However, when Niels Gagge shows up in the mid-1300s in Oxie district we can deduce that he is probably the son of Anders Gagge.
Oddly, there appears another Anders Gagge in 1355; however, he bears the Hollunger-family's "tre m?llehjul" (3 Millwheels) in his arms. Are Niels Gagge with the "dyrehoved" (animal-head) arms and Anders Gagge with "hjul" (wheel) arms possibly the sons of Sir Anders Gagge? They certainly can not both be, since they bear different family-arms. The hypothosis for this unique situation is: a woman first marries Anders Gagge and they have a son, namely Niels Gagge. Anders Gagge dies young, and the widow is marries a second time, this time to Jens/Niels Bendtsen/Benedictsen (Hollunger) from Bromma Hovedg?rd in Herrestad district. In this second marriage they have a son whom they name after the mother's deceased first husband, namely Anders Gagge. This son would naturaly use his father's Hollunger-family arms as his coat of arms (namely in 1355). Since their other child, Bendt/Benedict Jensen (Hollunger), was not named Gagge we can conclude that there must have been a second husband.
Anders Gagge was a "Ridder" (Knight) and is mentioned in 1302 and 1304 in Sk?ne, and had a share in the Gavn? estate near N?stved. Anders Gagge married Julianne Aagesdatter, with whom he had a son, Niels Gagge. Presumably Anders Gagge died young, and Juliane Aagesdatter married a second time to Jens/Niels Bendtsen of the Hollunger-family, with whom she had a son named Anders Gagge Hollunger. Jens/Niels Bendtsen is known to still have been living in 1344.
A document dated September 12, 1344 informs us that Jens/Niels Bendtsen's wife's was Juliane Aagesdatter. The other children of Jens Bentsen are not named Gagge, and these others appear so long after Anders Gagge (Hollunger) as to allow one to surmise that Jens/Niels Bendtsen was married again to a younger woman after Juliane's death, and from this marriage there was still another child: for Bendt Jensen appears again in 1385, and there is to be found one Josef Jensen.
The above mentioned Anders Gagge (Hollunger) passed on the family-name to two more families! One daughter of his (whose name we do not know) was married with a "r?dmand" (alderman) in Ystad named Jacob Terkelsen (alive on November 3, 1364), and their son Anders Gagge was "borgmester" (mayor) of Ystad between 1421 and 1437, and used a coat of arms with one "sparre" (chevron). A second daughter was married with "v?bner" (esquire) Aage Larsen in St?storp (named in 1389), their first born son was named Anders Gagge, and he used a split coat of arms with 3 "s?blade/hjerter" (hearts) in the first field, and the Galen-family's slanted "bj?lker" (beams) in second field.
It is unknown whether these people (the family Gagge from Ystad using a chevron, and the family Hollunger using the wheel) in a secondary manner are also ancestors to the unknown father of the Niels Gagge who was born circa 1380, for his arms was split into two fields: one with a "sparre" (chevron) in one field and a "hjul" (wheel) in the other. It is difficult to prove, but possible!
