Abel Daneelson van Munte

Marshal and Lord of the Church / Maitre de l'Eglise, Abel Van Munte

The administrative official in a len (county) in the earlier centuries was the lensherre. Later an amtmann (county governor) was appointed by the king. His local functionary was the fogd or foged (bailiff), and the fogderi was his official district. The fogd became the official who collected taxes and enforced the law (politi og oppebørselsmann).
