Havnø gods historie: Gennem hele sidste halvdel af 1400-tallet ejedes Visborggård af Jens Madsen Munk, ridder og en ret betydelig herremand, han indvordede 1468 Visborggårds og Havnøs enemærker. Allerede inden sin død, der indtraf 1501, havde han delt sit gods mellem sine børn. Sønnen Niels Jensen fik Visborggård, datteren Eline, der var gift med Hans Lykke, fik Havnø, som han skrev sig til; allerede 1502 og 1503 omtales han i dokumenter son Hans Lykke ”i Havnø”; han har da vistnok på denne tid opført sig en borg på det sted, hvor det nuværende Havnø ligger, og omgivet den med volde og grave.

Diplomatarium Hornumense; 12. juni 1542 Herredagsdom. Morten Roed mod Malte Lauridsen (Viffert) angaaende en gaard i Guldbæk. Morten Roed fremlægger et skiftebrev af 1492 lydende, at Jens Madsen (Munk) af Visborg udlagde Fru Ingeborg en gaard i Guldbæk for den del, hun havde i Visborg. Malte Lauridsen hævder, at hans forældre har haft gaarden i mere end 50 aar og fremlægger en lovhævd af 1480, en dom af kongen, der stadfæstede lovhævden og et skiftebrev, hvori gaarden var tillagt ham i søskendeskifte, og han tildømmesgaarden i henhold til hans adkomstbreve. Der tages ikke hensyn til Morten Roeds skiftebrev, da det ikke bevises, at han og hans arvelader nogensinde har haft gaarden i besiddelse, men der indrømmes ham adgang til evt. at sagsøge arvingerne efter Jens Madsen Munk, død 1501, fa hvem har han sin paastaaede adkomst.

Morten Roeds broder, Tord Roed, var gift med Anne Andersdatter Friis af Haraldskær, der første gang var gift med Jens Munk af Visborg, død 1512, og som var sønnesøn af Jens Madsen Munk af Visborg der døde 1501. Det kan være herfra den paastaaede adkomst stammer.

The daughter (no. 6) Julien's husband Las Lunov died childless about 1500. (TrRa-).

Sir. Jens Madsen, who owned Visborg 1452-87, and who already in a court witness dat. 17/2 1452 is mentioned as Ies Mathsen, knight. As he lived nearly half a hundred years after that time, his lordship must then have been of fairly recent date. - He is often mentioned as a witness in various legal proceedings from that time, just as he is also more often seen to have been an arbitrator, commissioner, etc. - The following is stated about him: In 1460 he deeded some property in Saltum Parish to Økloster. - In 1466 he obtained a lien on his estate in Als and Buddum (Als Parish). - Two years later, he also got a lien on Visborg and Havnø, and regarding the latter it is stated in the copy of the court witness:
Item he became a Haunøe (with lien) with all his right(s), (so) which are Ager and Meadow(, Forest and Field), Fishing Water, Fægang nothing except(, whatever is or can be mentioned), Ålegårdstader, a Trout Farm in Wedel), and especially a Tagmark for free Enemærke.
In 1470, he recorded a court witness at Moubjergting for information about Skjel at the forest belonging to Als and Buddum. - A Diploma from 1471 reads that Jens Matisson, Knight, in Wesborgh, Morten Swan, Armourer, and 4 farmers inform King Kristiern that, according to a change of heart desired by Bishop Knudh (in Viborg), they have investigated a Farm in Solbergh and a Cemetery in Lywngby in Hellum Herred and found them equally good. - In 1480, he confesses that he owes Økloster 40 Rinke guilders, for which he pledges some property.
Of course, during his long tenure, he has had many property disputes, some of which can be mentioned here: In 1462, he thus had disputes with Mr. Anders Jakobsen on Stenalt about a meadow, lying in Borup Mark (Asdrup S.) and in Brøndbjerg Mark (Rostrup S.)-. - In 1464 there was a quarrel between him and the Bishop in Viborg "about thre kircker hoesz Wisborg", which Jens Matzen wanted to keep. - In 1476 he had tired of St. Karen's guild in Ålborg for land and land, which the guild had as a mortgage, but in the settlement of the same year, he and his heirs got the disputed property in perpetuity. - At the same time, he had a number of disputes with Bishop Knud in Visborg regarding the fishery in Låstrup. A County Council judgment from 1478 states that Mr. Jens Madsen himself confessed that he did not make the Low claim against Bishop Knud on "lidell Wedell" (a brook near Låstrupå). - In 1482, a court witness was recorded that the fish farm in lidell Wedell, which Mr. Jens Madsen with Vælde and Uret had had it cut down, had belonged to the Bishopric for 100 years. - These disputes about the right to fish in the streams at Låstrup seem to have been difficult to settle, but they were very old rights; because already Jens Madsen's great-grandfather is written to Låstrup, and his name also appears in connection with the fishery in lidel Wedel. In a defective record from 1392 it is stated as follows: "... ffrue Kirstine Niels Sebbesens efftherleuerske hennes bornn och brodher .... af Viboriig for ...n fisherij y Son [der aa och y] lidell Wedell". - Regarding Haubroholm in Hollumby, Farsø Parish, Jens Madsen also had a number of disputes with Mrs. Kloster in Ålborg.
Since Mads Jensen is not known to have had any other children than the son mentioned here, and since the other members of this line of the family seem to have died out earlier, all the estate was now gathered in one hand. Sir. Jøns Mattesen af ​​Wiborgh, knight, was thus a great landowner, and in addition to these properties also had Kollerupgård (Hadbjerg S.) and several more estates far and wide in northern Jutland. That he owned Kollerup is evident from a court witness from Omtr. 1545, whereby Erik Nielsen (Tornekrands) tells Kollerupgård how (his maternal grandfather) Hr. Jens Madsen, Knight, with Lavhævd incorporated Kollerupgård, which he proved with Lavhævd published in 1481. Jens Madsen has therefore inherited this farm through his mother's family, and this also agrees with the fact that Sorte Jens' descendants died out in the second generation. His only son, Lave Jensen, died "old and unmarried", and Sorte Jens' only daughter, Else Jensdatter, who was married to "long" Mr. Ove Ovesen of the Mur-Kås clan, left only one daughter, who died unmarried.
Sometime before 1490, Knight Jens left Visborggård to his son, Munk Jensen, whereas he himself took up residence at Mariager, where he owned some property. He seems to have left his other properties to some of his sons-in-law at the same time, among these properties Havnø may have been, but it is not certain that it was separated from Visborg at that time, but it may have only happened with the transfer in 1501.
The 20/12 1498 was awarded Mr. Jens Madsen at Hindsted Herredsting, according to Law claim of 22/5 1466, a part of the estate in Als - among them a Forstrand and Saltkjedel are mentioned, - Helberskov, Buddum and Skjellum, Part in Louenkjær etc. Part of this estate was acquired by Jens Nielsen of Visborg and had since unlovingly followed his son Matis Jensen and the grandson Mr. Jens Madsen of Visborg. - He took lien on his property by marriage, but later had a dispute about it, as can be seen from a Viborg county court judgment, dat. 16/2 1499, about a case between well-born man Hans Lykke on Mr. Jens Madsen, Ridders, Vegne, against regular Man, Brother Oluf i Mariager and Nis Mikkelsen. The former claimed that the counterparty had entered into a lawsuit with Mariager Kloster Hr. Jens Madsen's Land and Forest at Mariager, on which he had lien and mortgage deeds. Brother Oluf disputed this, but did not want to present his letter of claim as it was not yet sealed. It was then said before the Court that it was found that Brother Oluf and Nis Mikkelsen had internalized Mr. Jens Madsen's estate to Mariager Kloster, then their liege should not have power. - On 20/6 1499, Mr. Jens Madsen, Knight's Order Witness at Hindsted Herredsting, that Sandemænd made shields between the Farmer and the Godhouse and correspond to Mariager Kloster every 6th Grass over all Buddum Field and Forest.
In 1495, he had donated a part of his estate at Mariager to Mariager Kloster, but in such a way that it would only come into possession after his and his wife's death.
He died in 1501 and his wife - who must have died shortly before him - is also buried in Mariager Church, where he had a chapel built. On their still existing tombstone it says - or rather has written:
Hic jacet dns (dominus) Johes (Johannes)
Mathie de Visborh miles com uxore sva dna
Anna Orate procis. (VFr-).

About Jens Madsen Munk's daughter, Julien (Jøllin) Jensdatter:
Regarding (...) Jøllin Jensdatter, it can be noted that in her name we have an insignificant clue, which also points in the direction of her mother being a Seefeld, because this The name is so rare that one must have great difficulty in finding it anywhere; therefore, when we come across this name again in a daughter of Jens Thamesen (Seefeld), this is very telling, and there is no question that, if you could go further back in time, you would come across this name again in the same family. (...). (VFr-).
