Baron Erik Classon Bielke (d.1638) - who was his mother?

Legg inn av Tony Hoskins » 27 jun 2007 01:13:59

Am unsure by which of his two wives - Baroness Elin Fleming (d. 1586) or
Elsa Bielke (mar. 1588, d. bef 20 Mar 1622) - did Baron Clas Nilsson
Bielke father Baron Erik Bielke (d.1638), of Penningby, Roslagen,
Uppland, Sweden.

Baron Clas's first wife Baroness Elin Fleming brought Penningby
(descending in the Bonde, Sture, Ulf, Tre Rosor, and Fleming families)
by marriage to the family of her husband, Baron Clas Bielke. Penningby
next was in the possession of Baron Clas's and Elin Fleming's daughter
Baroness Margareta Bielke (d.1629), (2nd) wife of Baron Gabriel
Gustafsson Oxenstierna (d.1641). But, at her death in 1629, her brother
(half-brother?) Baron Erik Classon Bielke interested Penningby, which
became his chief home and where he died in 1638.

Penningby Castle and lands being such a rich holding, I wonder if the
fact that they were inherited first by Margareta (Erik was Baron Clas's
only son) doesn't imply Erik wasn't Elin Fleming's son. And, that at
Margareta's death, her half-brother Baron Erik inherited from her (her
mother's heirs being apparently extinct), despite his not being in the
bloodline that brought it to Margareta.

[see: Svenska Familj-Journalen (1866): 141-2; Nordström, Felix. "En
lännabo, som 1648 utvandrade till Nya Sverige," Hundare och skeppslag
8 (1947-8); and
http://www.roskildehistorie.dk/stamtavl ... Bielke.htm

Unfamiliar as I am with aristocratic inheritance patterns in Sweden in
the 17th century, I would appreciate hearing from someone with
expertise in these matters.

Thanks.
