The former '''Diocese of Børglum''' (Danish: ''Børglum Stift'') was a [[Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] [[diocese]] in Northern [[Jutland]], [[Denmark]]. It has also been referred to as the '''Diocese of Vestervig''' or the '''Bishopric of Vendsyssel'''. The diocese included the historic districts of [[Vendsyssel]], [[Hanherred]], [[Thy (district)|Thy]], and [[Mors (island)|Mors]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Historie|url=https://aalborgstift.dk/stiftet/kirker?--fit_diocesedata-churchdb%5B@package%5D=fit.diocesedata&--fit_diocesedata-churchdb%5B@controller%5D=gallery&--fit_diocesedata-churchdb%5B@action%5D=show&--fit_diocesedata-churchdb%5B@format%5D=html&--fit_diocesedata-churchdb%5Bgallery%5D%5B__identity%5D=c820beda-f7e1-47c3-872c-57224e499a8a&dioceseDataAjax=1|access-date=2021-02-04|website=aalborgstift.dk|language=da}}</ref> |

The diocese was first established in 1056, and was dissolved in 1536 during the [[Reformation|Protestant Reformation]]. It was eventually replaced by the [[Diocese of Aalborg]] within the [[Church of Denmark]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Om stiftet|url=https://aalborgstift.dk/stiftet/om-stiftet|access-date=2021-02-04|website=aalborgstift.dk|language=da}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Bøgh|first=Anders|date=20 June 2011|title=Bispeinstitutionen|url=https://danmarkshistorien.dk/leksikon-og-kilder/vis/materiale/bispeinstitutionen/?no_cache=1&tx_historyview_pi1%5Blang%5D=1|access-date=2021-02-04|website=danmarkshistorien.dk|publisher=[[Aarhus University]]}}</ref> |

The ancient '''bishopric of [[Børglum]]''', in Denmark, embraced the ancient districts of [[Vendsyssel]] and [[Thy]], that is, the whole of the extreme north of [[Jutland]] peninsula beyond the Limfjord.<ref>[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/16011b.htm Ancient See of Börglum] - [[Catholic Encyclopedia]] (1911)</ref> The see was first at [[Vestervig]], the diocese having been formed out of that of [[Viborg, Denmark|Viborg]], which then included the whole of Jutland, on the death of Bishop Val in 1059. Magnus, first Bishop of Vestervig, was drowned in the [[Elbe]] about 1060, when returning home after his consecration by Adalbert I, [[Archbishop of Hamburg]]. Albrik, Dean of Bremen, was the second bishop (1066-85). |

Vestervig was the residence of St. Thøger, a missionary from [[Thuringia]] (eastern Germany) and [[chaplain]] to the [[Norway|Norwegian]] king [[St. Olaf]]. After that king's death in 1030 Thøger retired to Vestervig, where he built a church of thatch and wattle, and preached Christianity to the inhabitants of the surrounding district. He died on 24 June, 1067, and was canonized in spite of the opposition of [[King Svend Estridsen]] and Bishop Albrik. Eventually St. Thøger became the [[patron saint]] of the diocese. Albrik's successor, Bishop Henry, was chaplain to King [[St. Canute IV]], and was with him during his stay in [[Vendsyssel]] in June, 1086. |
|||
The diocese was established in 1059, when the region of Jutland north of the [[Limfjord]] separated from the [[Ancient Diocese of Viborg|Diocese of Viborg]]. It was originally a [[suffragan]] of the archdiocese of [[Hamburg-Bremen]] until 1104, when the [[Diocese of Lund]] was elevated to an [[Diocese|archdiocese]] and became Børglum's [[metropolitan see]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|last=Taylor|first=Arthur|url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/16011b.htm|title=The Catholic Encyclopedia|publisher=The Encyclopedia Press|year=1914|location=New York|pages=11|chapter=Ancient See of Börglum|via=[[New Advent]]}}</ref> Initially, the seat of the bishop was located in [[Vestervig Abbey|Vestervig]], and the diocese was referred to as ''Vestervig'' or ''Vendelbo Stift''. |
|||
The diocese had major ecclesiastical centers at [[Børglum Abbey]] and Vestervig Abbey, though it had a variety of other monasteries. This included the [[Order of St. Benedict|Benedictine]] nunneries of [[Frejlev Abbey]] (1268–1554), [[Hundslund Abbey]] (1268–1536) and [[Ø Abbey]] (1160–1542). The diocese also oversaw the [[Knights of St. John]] at [[Dueholm Priory]] (1351–1539) and the [[Carmelite]] priory at [[Saeby]] (ca. 1460–1536).<ref name=":0" /> |
|||
Bishop Sylvester (1134-36) transferred the see to the [[Premonstratensian]] Abbey of Børglum. It became the [[cathedral]] of the new diocese, and its canons formed the diocesan chapter with power to elect the bishop. The last two bishops led very inconsistent lives. Their names were Niels Stygge ([[Rosenkrantz]]) and his nephew, [[Stygge Krumpen]]. Niels Stygge (b. 1455) was Bishop of Børglum from 1486-1533. Stygge Krumpen became [[coadjutor bishop]] in 1519, and diocesan bishop in 1533. He made some efforts to stay the progress of [[Protestantism]], but he was imprisoned from 1536 to 1542. He was then endowed with the property of the nunnery of [[Asmild]] near Viborg, though obliged to maintain the nuns; he died there in 1551. |

== History == |

In the territory of the former diocese of Børglum there are fine old churches at Vestervig and Børglum, the former dating from the beginning of the twelfth century. Besides the Abbey of Børglum (founded 1128) the diocese contained the following Benedictine nunneries: [[Frejlev]] (1268-1554), [[Hundslund]] (1268-1536) and [[Ø kloster]] (1160-1542). There were also the Abbey of Vestervig (Augustinian canons), which lasted from 1110 to 1526, the Commandery of the [[Knights of St. John]] at [[Dueholm]] (1351-1539), and the [[Carmelite]] [[Priory]] at [[Sæby]] (Mariested), which lasted from about 1460 to 1536. |
|||
Vestervig was the residence of [[Theodgar of Vestervig|Theodgar]], a missionary from [[Thuringia]] who had been [[chaplain]] to King [[Olaf II of Norway]]. After Olaf's death in 1030, Thøger embarked on a missionary trip to Vestervig, where he built a small church. After his death in 1067, he was [[Canonization|canonized]] despite opposition from both [[King Svend Estridsen|King Sweyn II]] and the current Bishop of the diocese, Albrik. Eventually, Saint Theodgar became the [[patron saint]] of the diocese.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web|last=Hald|first=P.

The diocese's first Bishop, Magnus, was drowned in the [[Elbe]] river around the year 1060, shortly after he had taken up the position. He had been returning home after his consecration had been performed by [[Adalbert of Hamburg]]. Magnus was succeeded by Albrik, Dean of [[Bremen]].

A relatively unknown fairy tale by [[Hans Christian Andersen]], written in 1861, is titled ''The Bishop of Børglum and his Men'' (Danish: ''Bispen paa Børglum og hans Frænde''). The story follows the murder of Bishop Oluf Glob and several of his followers at Hvidebjerg Church in 1260. Andersen based his story on an account of the incident which had been recorded by a noble family around the year 1600, though the historical accuracy of this account is subject to debate.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Andersen|first=Hans Christian|date=1861|title="Bispen paa Børglum og hans Frænde"|url=https://andersen.sdu.dk/studie/prosa/text/bisp.html|url-status=live|access-date=2021-02-04|website=The Hans Christian Andersen Centre|publisher=[[University of Southern Denmark]]|language=da|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030522010544/http://www.andersen.sdu.dk:80/studie/prosa/text/bisp.html |archive-date=2003-05-22 }}</ref> |

The former Diocese of Børglum (Danish: Børglum Stift) was a Roman Catholic diocese in Northern Jutland, Denmark. It has also been referred to as the Diocese of Vestervig or the Bishopric of Vendsyssel. The diocese included the historic districts of Vendsyssel, Hanherred, Thy, and Mors.[1]
The diocese was first established in 1056, and was dissolved in 1536 during the Protestant Reformation. It was eventually replaced by the Diocese of Aalborg within the Church of Denmark.[2][3]
Domain
[edit]The diocese was established in 1059, when the region of Jutland north of the Limfjord separated from the Diocese of Viborg. It was originally a suffragan of the archdiocese of Hamburg-Bremen until 1104, when the Diocese of Lund was elevated to an archdiocese and became Børglum's metropolitan see.[4] Initially, the seat of the bishop was located in Vestervig, and the diocese was referred to as Vestervig or Vendelbo Stift.
The diocese had major ecclesiastical centers at Børglum Abbey and Vestervig Abbey, though it had a variety of other monasteries. This included the Benedictine nunneries of Frejlev Abbey (1268–1554), Hundslund Abbey (1268–1536) and Ø Abbey (1160–1542). The diocese also oversaw the Knights of St. John at Dueholm Priory (1351–1539) and the Carmelite priory at Saeby (ca. 1460–1536).[4]
History
[edit]Vestervig was the residence of Theodgar, a missionary from Thuringia who had been chaplain to King Olaf II of Norway. After Olaf's death in 1030, Thøger embarked on a missionary trip to Vestervig, where he built a small church. After his death in 1067, he was canonized despite opposition from both King Sweyn II and the current Bishop of the diocese, Albrik. Eventually, Saint Theodgar became the patron saint of the diocese.[4][5][6]
The diocese's first Bishop, Magnus, was drowned in the Elbe river around the year 1060, shortly after he had taken up the position. He had been returning home after his consecration had been performed by Adalbert of Hamburg. Magnus was succeeded by Albrik, Dean of Bremen. Albrik's successor, Bishop Henry, was chaplain to King Canute IV, and accompanied him during his stay in Vendsyssel in 1086.[4]
During the 1130s, Bishop Sylvester transferred the seat of the diocese to Børglum. At about the same time, a monastic foundation was settled there which later became known as Børglum Abbey, although there is little information about the original organization.[7] Around 1180, the Premonstratensian canons of Steinfeld Abbey in Germany settled nearby. Around 1220, the Bishop of Børglum made the abbey his seat; the abbey church then became the cathedral of the diocese, and its canons formed the diocesan chapter with power to elect the bishop.[8][9]
Niels Stygge Rosenkranz was Bishop of Børglum from 1486 until 1533. His nephew, Stygge Krumpen, had served as his coadjutor bishop and succeeded him. During this period, the catholic church's authority in Denmark was threatened by the Reformation. Bishop Stygge Krumpen made attempts to slow the adoption of Protestantism, but was ultimately imprisoned in 1536 when the Reformation was formally introduced into Denmark. He was released in 1542 and then oversaw the Asmild Abbey convent near Viborg. He died there in 1551.[4]
A relatively unknown fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, written in 1861, is titled The Bishop of Børglum and his Men (Danish: Bispen paa Børglum og hans Frænde). The story follows the murder of Bishop Oluf Glob and several of his followers at Hvidebjerg Church in 1260. Andersen based his story on an account of the incident which had been recorded by a noble family around the year 1600, though the historical accuracy of this account is subject to debate.[10]
