Notater: Mand -

---

He bought his first property in Flensborg 1529. He bought house number 185 in the Flensborg main street in 1546. He is mentioned as member of the city council 1552. The house was later owned by his son Reinholt tor Smeden. In Cista Hafniensis is mentioned that Thomas Fincke was brought up in this house, most likely because his father Jacob Fincke died in 1570, when he was 9 years old. There is a mistake in the Danish translation from Latin in Cista Hafniensis. Reinhold tor Smeden is called bedstefader (grandfather), but the Latin word avunculus means uncle (maternal brother). Thomas tor Smeden was a merchant, dealing in cloth and silk, but also in books from Strassbourg, which can be seen from a still preserved letter from king Christian the 3rd from 1547, Rigsarkivet, Indenlendischer Registre nr. 28. From 1551 he was leader of the Cloister of the Holy Spirit.

She continued the business of her husband, partly by means of her later son in law Harder Vake. A bill from 1554 to the king, Christian the 3rd, in total of 700 Thaler for the consumption of silk and cloth of his son duke Magnus, bishop of Øsel in Estonia, later king of Latvia is still preserved in the Royal Archives. In 1559 she made an inventory on her fortune which added up to 11.000 pounds (Lübsch). So she was perhaps the richest commoner woman in all Denmark at the time. This fortune was carefully spread by the children who donated many items to the Sct Nicolai Church of Flensburg and was the background to the studies of their children at European universities, so the tradition was laid for Thomas Fincke, her grandson, as well.


Drude PETERSDATTER. Født ca. 1510. Død 21. juli 1565 i Flensborg. Begr. i Nikolaj. · Formodentlig datter af købmand i Flensborg Peter Jepsen (ca. 1480-1525) og Catharine Jensdatter Lorup (1485-1522). Arvede 1541 en ejendom efter Claus Potter, efter al sandsynlighed hendes stedfar. Som enke fortsatte hun købmandsskabet, hjulpet af sin senere svigersøn Harder Vake. Hun "vandt kongehusets uindskrænkede tillid, blev foruden i handelssager benyttet i et meget stort antal pengesager, og var ved sin død utvivlsomt Danmarks rigeste borgerlige kvinde"
