Knight Aage was the only surviving son and heir of
knight Hans Aagesen af Hjulebjerg, Justiciar of
Nericia, and his wife Kerstin Eriksdatter af Fogelvik,
heiress of Bjurum, maternal granddaughter of a king.
Knight Aage deceased unmarried (having so demised, his
inheritance passed to his sisters).
Knight Aage had, according to Gillingstam's research,
by a woman Kerstin or Karin, a natural daughter:
Ingeborg Aagesdatter; married pastor Johannes Nicolai
(probably bynamed Kokemester), head pastor of a
parish.
Their daughter was this famed Kaarina (bc 1539; d
1596):
Kaarina Hannuntytär (who settled in Finland, where she
kept her family: children and grandchildren) was
firstly in non-marriage relation with the then duke
John of Finland, the future king John III, in his time
in Turku, Finland, where he had his ducal court. The
Duke donated the manor and lands of Vääksy, in
Pirkanmaa province, Finland, to his mistress.
Kaarina Hannuntytär then, after the ducal
relationship, married twice, both were Finnish men.
Firstly she married (sometime in summer or autumn
1562) nobleman Klaus Antinpoika de Viikki (executed in
1563), son of nobleman Antti Vestgöte, lord of Viikki,
judge of Ostrobothnia (d after 1551) and his wife
Marjatta.
Secondly (and lastly), she married (in 1572) knape
Lauri Henrikinpoika Hordeel, who became ennobled, son
of knape-noble Henrikki Henrikinpoika and Pirita
Juhontytär.
