Oldest Known Ancestor.

When our oldest known ancestor 32768/31049 Michel Guldsmed was born ca. 1400 - 1430 - Norsemen still lived in Greenland. A wedding in Greenland in Hvalsey Church 1408 is reported. The church still stands as a ruin, but the last Norsemen soon left the island.. Michel Guldsmed was born in The Age of Discovery or the Age of Exploration - a period starting in the late 15th century during which Europeans and their descendants intensively explored and mapped the world. Columbus and Magellan pioneered oceanic explorations - an eventful time which also may have affected our ancestor. As the father to the famous mayor of Malmö, Hans Michelsen, who followed king Kristian II in exile, he has been close to the "big" events.

Events.

The list of events help to paint a better picture of the times. Description of epochs will be even better. Common is that events in the big world no noticeable immediate effect was for our contemporary ancestors - the highest for their children and grandchildren.

Protestant Reformation 1500's

Protestant Reformation initiated by Martin Luther in Germany was such an event. Luther strongly disputed their claim that freedom from God's punishment of sin could be purchased with money. His refusal to retract all of his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521 resulted in his excommunication by the pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the emperor. In May 1523 The Danish friar ( a member of one of the mendicant orders) Hans Tausen went to Wittenberg, where he studied for a year and a half, when he was recalled to Antvorskov. In consequence of his professed attachment to the doctrines of Martin Luther he was first imprisoned in the dungeons of Antvorskov and thence transferred, in the spring of 1525, to the Grey Friars' cloister at Viborg in Jutland, where he preached from his prison to the people assembled outside, till his prior, whom he won over to his views, permitted him to use the pulpit of the priory church. Eventually in October 1526 King Frederick I, during his visit to Aalborg, took Hans Tausen under his protection, appointed him one of his chaplains, and charged him to continue for a time "to preach the holy Gospel" to the citizens of Viborg, who were to be responsible for his safety, thus identifying himself with the new doctrines in direct contravention of the plain letter of his coronation oath.

On one of our ancestors from the time we write:

16384/15525 Jacob Michelsen was born in Malmo around 1470 and is mentioned as the son of a citizen in Malmo, Alderman 32768/31049 Michel Guldsmed, who may be born at Queen Margrethe's time o. 1400 -1430 and father famous mayor in Malmö, Hans Michelsen, who translated the New Testament in Danish and was eager for the Reformation was introduced. Jacob Michelsen's daughter, Else was married to the equally renowned scholars Kristiern Pedersen (born in Svendborg 1480), which also followed King Kristian II in exile, fought for him during the count feud rescued Sakso Grammaticus's work history from destruction by print it, translated the Bible in Danish very well and got a lot to bring to the Lutheran learned introduction and progress.

1500 is also time for the great voyages of discovery.

The Hundred Years' War (a series of separate wars lasting from 1337 to 1453) has just come to an end and Europe has recovered. The aim of Christopher Columbus' 1492-1503 voyages to the West had been to reach the Indies and to establish commercial relations between Spain and the Asian kingdoms. The Spanish soon realized that the lands of the Americas were not a part of Asia, but a new continent. Once Vasco da Gama and the Portuguese arrived in India in 1498, it became urgent for Spain to find a new commercial route to Asia. On August 10, 1519, the five ships under Magellan's command – Trinidad, San Antonio, Concepción, Victoria and Santiago – left Seville. When Victoria, the one surviving ship, returned to the harbor of departure after completing the first circumnavigation of the Earth, only 18 men out of the original 237 men were on board.

This circumnavigate the world was a huge influence on a seafaring nation like the Danish. Now 500 years later, the Danish merchant fleet has grown into the largest in the world and transports 10% of all ocean freight.
