Chap. XXXI.
FRIJSENBORG.
43
nobles, near the village of Finderup, as I shall relate
when we arrive there. Here she stood to superintend
in person the execution of his traitor page, Bane
Jonsen, who betrayed his lord and master into the
assassins’ hands. Rane suffered death upon the wheel,
and Agnes feasted her eyes with the sight of his dying
agony.
Marsk Stig with his brother nobles took refuge in
the little island of Hjelm, where after the manner of the
day he turned pirate; as the outlawed Earl of
Huntingdon he took’to the greenwood-tree, and soon became
the terror of the neighbourhood. The ruins of his castle
still exist.
FRIJSENBORG.
We leave the road and make for Friisenborg,
chateau of Count Friis. We stop for one minute at
the village church of Hammel, to look at an early
carving of St. Hubert over an ancient round-arch door,
and admire there an admirably preserved grave-stone
of exquisite execution, fresh as from the sculptor’s
hand, of Valdemar Parsberg and his wife Ide Lykke
—noble and high-born, date 1589. The Parsbergs
have passed away; they were once possessors of
Friisenborg, but resisted the establishment of absolute
monarchy by Christian V., and together with all the old
Jutland nobility from that period disappeared from the
state of affairs: many emigrated to Sweden.
We enter Friisenborg through a Gothic gateway
