Ingeborg Skeel (c. 1545 – 17 October 1604) was a Danish noblewoman, a major land owner and a county sheriff in the Vendsyssel region of northern Jutland, Denmark. She resided at Voergaard, a large estate which she expanded into a fine Renaissance castle between 1588 and 1591. A talented business women, she personally managed her estates and held several lifelong endowments. In her own day, she had an infamous reputation for greed and cruelty but there is no historical evidence for any of the rumours associated with her name. ==Biography== Ingeborg Skeel was born at Nygaard between Vejle and Kolding, the daughter of Niels Skeel(1480–1561) and Karen Globsdatter Krabbe (-1586). Her elder brother, Hans Skeel (1530–1565), was killed in the Battle of Svarterå in 1565, and her younger sister, Dorte Skeel (1547–1578), died in childbirth in 1578.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ingeborg Skeel )〕 On 31 August 1560, at Nygaard and in the presence of King Frederick II, Ingeborg Skeel was married to Otte Eriksen Banner, the son of former Rigsmarsk Erik Eriksen Banner and Mette Rosenkrantz. This brought Ingeborg Skeel to the far north of Jutland where her new husband owned Asdal in Vendsyssel. In 1578, after several years of negotiations, Ingeborg Skeel and her mother acquired the large Voergaard estate from the Crown in exchange for Nygaard. The estate received status as a local judicial unit, Voer Birk, a so-called ''birkeret'', for the parishes of Voer, Albæk og Skæve. In the 1686, after she had become a widow, Ingeborg Skeel carried out an extension of Voergaard, possibly with the assistance of master builder and sculptor Philip Brandin. She died on 17 October 1604 at Voergaard. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ingeborg Skeel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
