Vincens Lunge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vincens Lunge (sporadically referred to as Vincents Lunge,[1] c. 1486 – January 3, 1536) was a Danish noble, member of the Norwegian riksråd (lit. realm council), and the foremost representative of king Christian III of Denmark in Norway. Lunge was born in Denmark in 1486. During the reign of Frederick I of Denmark, he was sent to North Norway to force the region to comply with the new king. However, Lunge was forced to accept the strict requirements of the riksråd - no foreigners were to be captain of a fortress or lord of a fief, and all the king's orders and arrangements were declared invalid until he had signed the coronation charter. In 1528, Lunge acquired the Cistercian monastery of Nonneseter near Bergen. He was murdered by the allies of archbishop Olav Engelbrektsson January 3, 1536, as written in the Diplomatarium Norvegicum.
