- Rasmus Andersen Bleking was a student in Slagelse in 1641; from 1645 he was clergyman (sognepr?st) for Vestermarie parish. He died in the confessional just before he was to give a sermon.
In his time Rasmus Andersen Bleking was Bornholm's wealthiest man. We can estimate his wealth from the taxation list of 1662, wherein it is noted that he, as parson for Vestermarie parish, had to pay 300 Slettedaler, and Herman Bohn Mortensen paid 250 Sldr., whereas all the inhabitants of the town of Hasle only paid a total of 177 Sldr. He held the farming rights for (Lilleg?rd) 32 Slg. Vestermarie in 1658 and 1662.
On the losses of Danish territories during the lifetime of Rasmus Andersen Bleking:
Under King Valdemar II, reigned 1202-1241, the kingdom reached its greatest size. He conquered Pomerania, Estonia, and parts of Mecklenburg; was sovereign over all of Denmark, the south-western coastal provinces on the Swedish peninsula, and had dominion over the entire Baltic Sea coast-line. The Union of Kalmar, in 1397, united the kingdoms of Denmark, Sweden and Norway for 126 years. Sverige and a portion of Finland seceded in 1523; Norway declared itself independence in 1814; and IIceland became independent in 1944. Greenland and the Faeroes are still under Danish rule.
The Swedes declared war on Danmark in 1643, invaded Jylland and Sk?ne and on June 29, 1644 defeated the Danish fleet. In the resulting "Peace of Br?msebro" of 1645, Denmark ceded to Sweden the islands ?sel and Gotland, the provinces J?mtland, H?rjedalen and Halland - the latter for thirty years (however, it was never returned). Later Sk?ne, Blekinge, and Bohus, all Danish provinces for 500 years, were lost to Sverige as a result of the "Peace of Roskilde", signed in 1658. The territory of Sk?ne now comprises the counties (l?ns) of Malm?hus and Kristianstad.
