var med, da delegates from all over Danmark were sent to Lund, in Skåne province, to elect Prince
Christian's (IV) as heir-apparent on July 20, 1584. Records from this time tell that the following
delegates were sent to represent the citizens of Rønne: 'Michel Herttuig, Borgemester, Esbern Kofod
og Claus Kamitz, Raadmænd.'
Once again in 1608 when the next Prince was to be hailed Michel Augustin Hartwig was again a
delegate. The documents state as follows:
From original document, in old danish:
'Wi effterschreffne Esper Kofod, Borgemester i Rothne, Madz Raffn, Anders Jenssøn, Hermand Bohn,
Jørgen Franch och Claus Hartvigh, Raadmend ibid.,sambt det gandske burgerskaff her wdj Rothne, saa
och det gandske gemeine burgerskaff aff Nexe, och denn menig Almue aff de andre smaabyer och
fiskeleyer, Hasle, Suannicke och Aakirckebye, som ingen Kong.Priuilegier haffuer, kiendis och giør
Witterligt for alle,' at da det er dem befalet at sende Fuldmægtige til København paa Trefoldigheds
Søndag, for at kaare Prins Christian; Saa haffuer nu erlig och velbyrdig Mand Hans Lindenov til
Örslef, med allis woris guode willie oc samtycke, wdmelt och tilforordnet disse to dannemendt, som
er erlig och welact mand Michel Hartuig, Borgemester i Rothne, oc Muaritz Jenssen, Borgemester i
Nexø', til paa alles vegne at rejse til København.
In 1609 he was a member of an advisory-commitee commissioned to write a new 'Constitution' for Hans
Lindenov in his relationship to Bornholm's peasant farmers (bønder). There his signature reads:
'Michel Hertuig Eghen Haandt' (Michel Hartwig, by my own hand).
Thus we can see that Michel Augustin Hartwig was mentioned in Bornholm'shistory from 1570-1609, a
period of about 40 years. The mayorial position was given as a life time office, so we may surmise
that MichelHartwig died around 1610.
He was married to a daughter of the merchant and councillor Claus Clausen Kames (or Kamitz) and his
wife Margrethe. Together they had two sons and one daughter, the eldest son was named Claus after
his mother's father; in 1608 he was mentioned as being a councillor in Rønne.
