Summary

Duke Friedrich received the traditional acclamation of north Jylland on the Thursday following Annunciationes Mariae in 1523. He and his Holstein junta foresaw many difficulties, and moved to win both rebels and loyalists from Christian II's regime. The de facto leader of the rebels, Tyge Krabbe, was a rough and ready defender of the old faith and noble privilege. At Viborg, Tyge received the island of Jegindø for life; in July he was reinstated at Helsingbørg, the post from which King Christian had removed him; Friedrich named him the royal marshal. Tyge's opposite number among the loyalists was the greatest landholder in Friedrich's new kingdom. Mogens Gøye had renounced his fealty to Christian II late in the game, but in time to add his seal to the provisional accession agreement in Viborg. Friedrich made him master of the court and added Gavnø Cloister to what was to become a sizeable collection of monastic holdings. One of the last to renounce his fealty to Christian II had been Ove Bille, the bishop of Aarhus, who had given way only when threatened by force. Ove Bille was one member of the upper clergy in Denmark who took his oaths and obligations seriously. Bishop Bille received St. Catherine's in Aarhus, along with the hospital and estates. Mogens Munk, the provincial judge and intermediary between the Jylland lords and Duke Friedrich, was granted the district of Vandfullt.
