@ Niels Markvardsen Rodsteen
Who were his parents, spouses and children
Rodsteen is an extinct Danish ancestral family. The family carried a ladder of four red stones in silver, in the helmet two silver and red vessel horns divided alternately.
The noble family of Jutland, Rodsteen, dates back to Niels Markorsen, whose son Jens Nielsen in Lengsholm still lived in 1512; his son Markor Jensen (mentioned 1486 and 1532) was the grandfather of Markor Jensen (died 1598) at Lengsholm and Tidemandsholm, whose sons were Palle Rodsteen (1590-1643) at Lundsgård, who served in the Kalmar War, etc. - father of Lieutenant Colonel Markor Rodsteen (1619-1670) to Lundsgård, who in 1661 signed the sovereignty deed - and Steen Rodsteen (died 1664) to Lerbæk, who during the war of 1644 was commander in Læsø, and who was Admiral Jens Rodsteen's father (1633-1706) to Rodsteenseje (Hovedstrup) and Admiral Markor Rodsteen (1625-1681) to Lerbæk and Nørre Elkær; the latter was the father of the diocesan secretary, secret councilor, Baron Peter Rodsteen (1662-1714) of Lerbæk and Elkær, etc., who in 1703 was admitted as a baronet and lieutenant general,

From the Danish on his profile, Google translate gives me this in English:

Morten Roed's mother-in-law: The difficulties are not over at all, for who was Morten Roed's mother-in-law? His wife is listed as the daughter of Nils Markorsen (Rodsteen), but which of his wives was the mother? First he was married to NN Brud and then to Margrete (Maren) Kaas (Sparre). The latter can hardly be Morten Roed's mother-in-law, for her father is mentioned 1459-1503, i.e. Nils Markorsen (Rodsteen)'s second wife must have been a lot younger than him and maybe even almost the same age as or younger than Morten Roed's wife. Morten Roed holds a probate with his brother-in-law Henrik Stigsen (Hvide) as early as 1448, so already at that time they were married and thus their respective wives (sisters) were not born later than the 1430s. Therefore, Morten Roed's wife Anne Nielsdatter (Rodsteen) was probably the daughter of the father's first marriage to NN Brud.

The link on his profile to "Read more" is not working for me.
_______________________________________________

What I take from the above and the profile information is that the "wives" of Niels Markvardsen Rodsteen were NN Brud and then Margrete (Maren) Kaas (Sparre).

Children:

Anne Nielsdatter (Rodsteen), daughter of NN Mikkelsdatter Bud

Unknown daughter, wife of Henrik Stigsen (Hvide), daughter of which wife, not known.

and the named son Jens Nielson Rodsteen son of NN Mikklesdatter Bud.

Cousin, I think a big question is what is the name of the unknown daughter who is the wife of Henrick Stigsen and when were her birthdates. It appears that the second wife of Niels was much younger than he and his first wife.

Perhaps Anette Guldager Boye could assist with this. I have done about all I know to do with Google translate. I am never sure it is correct.
