Rugen Island Ketel Family
This Family of Ketel in KetelsHAGEN on Rugen Island is not to be confused with the Kettler family of KetelBURG in Herringen and Westphalia.
Berthold was the son of Swede Curth Ketel the 1st, and his German born wife of the Montfort family of Germany. Curth was the son of Bishop Herleik Asulfsson Galle, Involved with Prince Jaromar of Rugen, Eric of Pomerania and related to Bogislav who awarded the land for Ketelshagen on Rugen. Herleik is the son of Åsulv Kjetilsson of Buskerud, Norway.
Asulv is the son of Ketil Havaardsson Galle. (Galle is simply a term used by the Scots to describe invading Vikings which in some cases evolved into a sur-name.)
This family on Rugen originates from the relationship of Jaromar I, Last Prince of Rani on Rugen allied with the Hvide and Galen clans, who were leaders of Zealand and Skåne. Jaromar married Hildegard Knudsdotter whose grandparents were Ketils. Jaromar had his son and heir Wizlaw marry Margareta from the Hvide / Sverker / Galen / Ketil families, who were influential in those parts of Denmark that were closest to Rügen. His advisor was Bishop Ketil of the Hvide / Galen clans. Sverker also allied himself with the Galen clan leaders in Skåne who were close to the Hvide, by marriage through lady Benedikte Ebbesdotter of Hvide.
The Hvide / Ketel clans and relations dominated the Danish / Swedish church for some century or more. (Even Bertholds son became a Provost in Schleswig / Lubeck) Archbishops and bishops were instrumental in dividing up the conquered domain of Rugen. Ketils were advisors to Jaromar and his son. Jaromar married into the clan for protection. This is probabaly when Ketels Hagen (Ketels Grove) came into being. Counted as sons of these clans included:
Absalon, bishop of Roskilde, then archbishop of Lund
Niels Stigsen, Bishop of the Diocese of Roskilde
Petrus Sunonis, Bishop of the Diocese of Roskilde
Andreas Sunonis, Archbishop of the Diocese of Lund
Peder Bang, Bishop of the Diocese of Roskilde
Jakob Erlandsen, Archbishop of the Diocese of Lund
Karl Eriksen Röde, Archbishop of the Diocese of Lund
Ketil family was present on Rugen and in Pomerania even before the Danish conquest. Eskils father Christian was killed in a raid on Wendland Pomerania. Eskil was involved in Rugen Island, Pomerania and charged with the conversion of the pagans there. The pagan temples and property were seized by the Christian Church and allocated to Bishops and nobles. This is most probably when Ketelshagen was 1st founded. Bishop Asulf Ketill is on Rugen in 1257 as Chancillor to Prince of Rugen, Jaromar the II. *(From Wikipedia: "The Archbishop of the Monarch Chancellor Ketill was enthralled, and the peasants aroused against Christopher and his vassals, so that they devastated their castles and estates")Bishop Ketill is mentioned in ceremony on Dec. 5 1305 with Bishop Erland Installing Canon Arne Sigurdsson as Bishop of Bergen, King Hakon V and Euphemia of Rugen present. King Hakon of Rugen proclaims he has taken the dowry of his Queen Euphemia of Rugen from Vitzlav, Prince of Rugen https://books.google.com/books?
family through his three sons Håvard, Herleik and Nikolas, but cannot find sources for having a son Brunlaug (mentioned on the Roskilde history page), but Nikolas has also been called Nikolas at Brunla and with the father name Sveinsson. This Nikolas is, according to NST.1, most likely son of Svein Rolvsson Galle (who lived at the same time as Åsulf)
