Botilla Persdotter and Bengt Jönsson

[Carolyn Eccles]

C:1 p.2. would someone please translate this entry. I know it says Dom 4 Trinit 1698  Bengt Jönsson of Målilla married h. Botill Persdotter of Årena. What does it say after that?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Carolyn!


I cannot read every word of it but I will have a go anyway:

... hvars förre man Eric Börjesson ??? förymbd sedan han sig emot det 7 budet ? försadt ? men hon fått af högwyrdige H. Biskopen Doct. H. Spegel af V. ? Consistion ? tilståndh att träda i annat giftemåhl

I will not try to translate every word into english, but my interpetation is that it says that her earlier husband Eric Börjesson has gone in hiding since he broke the 7th command of God and that she has been granted a special permit from the Bishop H. Spegel to be married a second time.

I hope this makes sence to you and I wish you good luck in your future research.


Best Regards,

”…hvarß förre man Erich Börgeson
benemd förymbde sedan han sig emot det 7 budet för-
sedt men hon fått af högwyrdige herr Biskopen Doctor Haqvin
Spegel och venerando Consistorio tilståndh att träda i annat giftte-
måhl etcetera”

the meaning of which being roughly ”… whose earlier husband, called Erik Börjesson, ran away after he had violated the 7^th commandment, but she had got permission from the bishop, Dr. Haqvin Spegel and the revered chapter [of Linköping] to remarry etc.”
