From the Landbohistorisk Selskab: Adkomstregistrering 1513-1550:
J?rgen Greve, boede i Brylle; utrykt 1537-693; utrykt 1545-079a. J?rgen Greve boede i Tommerup, se J?rgen Greve i Brylle.
"Greve" is the Danish word for the noble-title: Count. However, it is probably from its colloquial meaning of "overseer" that the origin of Mads J?rgensen Greve's surname stems.
Through out the autumn of 1657 the fighting went back and forth between ?ngelholm and Halmstad. When the alarming news came that the swedish King, Karl Gustav X, had halted his campaign against the northern german states and had turned his entire army toward the Danish southern-border, the Danish military-command hurriedly recalled the cavalry stationed in Sk?ne. That winter turned out to be unusually cold, already in January 1658 the sea-ice was spreading rapidly.
The Swedish General Wrangel's forces invaded Jylland from the south. They took Fredriksodde fortress and from there marched across the ice (an unprecedented feat, possible only because of the unusual cold) to the island of Fyn, and hence on to Lolland and then Sj?lland. That meant that K?benhavn was open to attack - which forced the Danish government to sue for peace; and in the resulting "Peace of Roskilde" (February 1658) Denmark lost its provinces Sk?ne (Scania) and Blekinge, the district of Bohus, Trondheim (in Norge/Norway), and the island of Bornholm.
The following information on the war-time events in Brylle parish during January of 1658, and Mads J?rgensen Greve's part in them, was taken from "Sl?gtsbog for Rasmus Larsen Greve", published in 1970; available on micro-film from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. Text was translated from Danish by Elene Marie Lau.
Brylle and Tommerup parishes were hit especially hard during the war years of 1658-1660. An article on page 188 of the 1918 edition of the "?rbog for Historisk Samfund for Odense og Assens Amter" provides us the following account of events:
It has been told that many men from Brylle parish were among those enlisted to patrol the beach where the Swedes landed. Later they helped the men in Bellinge parish defend the passage over the Odense River. To do this they placed their wagons atop some hills in Bellinge parish - then, while the enemy was advancing northwards from Fangel parish, the wagons were set on fire and pushed downhill into the invading army. However, most ot the soldiers made it across the river and proceeded to loot and kill many people in Brylle parish - the survivors were not able to bury the dead until February 14.
Many Swedish, and Danish, soldiers deserted during the war; they were later refered to as "Snaphaner" (Snap Cocks). One such Swedish deserter wandered around Brylle seeking a place to hide, finally he came upon a house where the wife was home alone. She cried bitterly from fear of the soldier, but he told her not to be afraid, he only wanted some food. After having eaten his fill, he advised her on how to avoid having her property looted, and proceeded to assist her wreck some belongings and board up the windows, etc.; making it appear that the place had already been plundered. He is said to have stayed on at the farm, and later become the owner.
The rest of Brylle did not fare as well: when the Swedish troops arrived and marched down the street they came upon a man on his way home; they ordered him to show them the richest homes and farms to loot. He refused to aid them, and so he was stabbed to death; this happened not far from where the schoolhouse was later built. The first residence the Swedes came upon was the farm of the parish's bailiff "Mads Grefve" (his family still owns that farm). It seems that Mads Greve knew how to flatter the Swedish officers, as a result a large group of them gathered at his farm; in fact so many that in order to save some food for themselves the servants on the farm hid food out in the garden, and even had to hide a large pot of porridge in a hollow pear-tree, so that they themselves might have something to eat that night.
Soon the Swedish officers gained complete confidence in Mads Greve, and he promised to serve them well and be their guide - as long as they would spare his farm and family from plunder. Therefore, when the time came for the Swedes to leave, Mads indeed guided them along the way to Nyborg. When the army stopped for the night Mads Greve complained that his horse was so exhausted that she refused to drink - and since in the cavalry a horse's health is of great importance, the Swedish riders commisserated and advised him to try again after his horse had rested. Therefore he later excused himself - giving the reason that he must see to his horse; but instead he hurriedly led his horse out of the stable and, as the Swedes slept soundly, rode off as fast as his horse could carry him, and safely reached his beloved farm before dawn. Mads Greve's farm was the only one in the parish not to be looted; in fact two farm-buildings in Brylle parish had even been dismantled and used as firewood.
