The Splid-Family:
But who then is the rightful owner of the (Klemensker church) pew'ssinister coat-of-arms? We are
not entirely clueless: the Splid-familycarried a half (or sometimes a whole) lobster-claw
(hummerklo) in theircoat-of-arms, but how do they enter the picture here? Since the
abovecoat-of-arms can not belong to Peder Hansen (Uf)'s wife, maybe it couldbelong to his mother?
The initials could possibly have been carvedlater; we do not know anything about his father Hans
Olufsen (Uf)'s wife(17). She might have been of the Splid-family - which would have beenthe last
chance! For the last member of the Splid-family, Jep Splid, wasmentioned in 1508 as deceased,
whereupon his widow gives 200 Lübeck-marksto Lund Cathedral for purchase of land in Skåne. Among
the witnessessigning the document is Peder Hansen Uf's grandfather Oluf Ottesen Uf,who at that very
time had just succeeded Jep Splid as chief justice ofBornholm (18). Therefore the timing disproves
the theory of thecoat-of-arms belonging to another wife of Peder Hansen (Uf) - maybe thepew carried
the emblems of both his parents?
The Splid-family was not very prolific - neither did they leave very manywritten accounts compared
to other Bornholmer-families. We have alreadymet the first Splid on the island: Jacob Splid, known
to be King ValdemarAtterdag's commander (hovedmand) for Hammershus fortress in 1361 and1362. The
Splid-family did not likely originate from Skåne (where thearchbishop recruited his commanders),
but from another region. OnSjælland and in Norway we find two (inter-connected?) families,
bothcarrying the lobster-claw in their emblems. In Norway the most importantwas Siewerd Bjørnsen,
known to be a bishop in 1458. On Sjælland we havea Jep Nielsen (Splid) in Gumløse in 1492, his seal
with the helmet isfrom 1503, his seal from 1492 looks like the Bornholmer Splid-family's'giedde
kieft'. A Jep Splid was chief justice of Bornholm in 1497. On adocument dated the 10th of August
1497 we find him using his father'sseal - the inscription states: 'andreas split'. The colours on
thecoat-of-arms are not known, but now we can see that the 'hummerklo'(lobster-claw) was white on a
red field - if we accept the identificationof the female's coat-of-arms from Klemensker church.
The helmet emblem with the two vesselhorns probably resulted from copyingthe other arms carrying
families on Bornholm - the island being isolatedfrom mainland heraldic influences. Also due to
smaller areas, theland-owners never could afford the elaborate splendour shown in thecoat-of-arms
in other regions. Some of the important people on Bornholmstill had their coat-of-arms hanging in
the churches. Furthermore theprefect Urne, in the 1700s, (he reported to Laurids de Thurah)
mentions apainted friese with coat-of-arms in Hammershus fortress, butunfortunately it was already
badly deteriorated.
17) Not to be mistaken with the Hans Olufsen (Uf), mentioned in note 11,as being the Uf-family's
last male. This man is his father's father.
