Biography

D's national historical efforts fall entirely within the history of the national revolution. He religiously stood on the part of Duke Charles and signed the resolution of Uppsala meeting in 1593 and the Söderköpings decision in 1595. During the years 1596-97, D. was often in the presence of the duke and at one time served under astonishing forms in a direct action against the royal party, namely when in June 1597 he and Olof Hård and Mickel Olsson in the Danish area seized a messenger on their way to Carl Gustafsson (Stenbock) in Kalmar. In 1597 and 1598 this abuse became the subject of tough negotiations between Sigismund and Kristian IV and between Christian IV and Duke Karl. Upon Sigismund's arrival in Kalmar in August. In 1598, however, D. immediately surrendered to the king and became one of the more prominent leaders of the field train. The sources say nothing about D: s participation in the Stegeborg fencing. In the Stångebro battle, D. commanded the Swedish riders, who along with Wladislaw Bekes' Polish jacks would conquer Stora Stångebro. Without stronger resistance, the transition succeeded. On the other side, however, D's squad was halted by the Duke's artillery and was soon thrown back over the river with great losses. Meanwhile, the decisive killing had stood at Lilla Stångebro, and it was now D., who, along with Arvid Svan, first of all the royal party already entered into negotiations with the Duke on the battlefield. After the battle, according to the Linköping Treaty, Sigismund disbanded his Swedish troops, whereby D. with the small country riders returned home. Without stronger resistance, the transition succeeded. On the other side, however, D's squad was halted by the Duke's artillery and was soon thrown back over the river with great losses.

After the battle, according to the Linköping Treaty, Sigismund disbanded his Swedish troops, whereby D. with the small country riders returned home.

Then Duke Karl in order to secure his position in the fall of 1598. Carl Carlsson (Gyllenhielm) and Samuel Nilsson sent to Småland, a letter exchange between the Duke and D. Duke appeared to have entertained the view that the most important thing was to separate the common riders from D. ., and therefore addressed to them an almost letter of D's crimes - except the treachery through participation in the king's war train, D. persecution against a Duke Charles's bailiff, and, as always in Karl's envoys with his enemies, despised the Duke's good name. The Duke also sent a threatening letter to D. However, the ducal negotiators appear to have gone more smoothly. While sending the Duke's letter, they offered D. D. free liberty for negotiation. Whether they also contained the letter to the common riders is unknown. The result of the negotiation, however, was that D. and the whole of the small country fan requested the duke's favor and pledged to assist him in the recapture of Kalmar. It does, however, appear as if at their transition they had succeeded in effecting special benefits. When, a few months later, they were proclaimed for the siege of Kalmar Castle, Karl sent them a special letter mentioning their promise and an appeal to make themselves available. D. also participated with distinction in the siege of Kalmar. After the fall of the castle, D. appears to have been staying for a longer time in the vicinity of the duke. He was attending the Stockholm State Day in 1599 and was named there among the gentlemen, who, along with Erik Brahe and the clergy and the burghers, were to enter into negotiations with the royal brethren in Finland. It is likely, that the brother-in-law with Arvid Eriksson (Steel Arm) was decisive in this election. However, the other delegates also belonged to Sigismund's former supporters. It is not impossible that the duke, through this campaign, definitely compromise them before Sigismund. In this case, this mission will soon see an expression of the Duke's uncertainty about the faithfulness of the newly acquired followers. However, the negotiations in Finland gave negative results.

In the war of 1599, D. does not appear to have participated. Shortly after the Duke's return, he again had to give proof of his faithfulness, when he was ordered to sit in the state court among the war commander at the big rally in Linköping 1600. Whether he was in favor of Erik Brahe's and Axel Leijonhufvud's milder claims or among those who sought the death penalty in the tumultuous March 12 or March 13 ruling is unknown. However, during the trial itself, D. performed specific assignments. During the March 6 trial, when Thure Bielke was being investigated, Duke sent D. and Anders Lennartsson (Forstena relatives) to Sten Banér and later to Erik Sparre to inquire about some of Bielke's information provided. When the accused March 10, asked to speak to a committee of the court, D. was among them, who was pronounced.

D. does not seem to have followed Karl to Livland, but in 1601 parts of the Småland nobility were also shipped. When D., on account of illness and, as he himself stated, with Charles' good memory during the difficult winter of 1601—02, left his people and returned to Sweden, he fell into disfavour and was compelled by the great settlement after the 1602 Stockholm Day to sign a new the assurance of allegiance (July 11, 1602). When Duke Karl S. wanted to release some of the Finnish royalists, whose help he needed in the Lifelands war, he could invoke one of several nobles and among them D. signed intercession. D. participated in the 1607 years' standing meeting, except for the Stockholm State Day. Eljest seems to D. during these years have been spared from national politics. The Småland nobility fan participated, as did the Western Gothic, no more in the campaign in Livland - probably in view of the terms of their capitulation in 1598 than of their known royalist faithfulness. When the nobility in the frontier landscapes was offered to the Nordic border meetings in 1601, 1602 and 1603, D. does not appear to have been present. After his return from Livland, D. was to have his main business in his home region, where he at least occasionally managed his own head of duties. When Karl faced the Danish war threat in the autumn of 1610, the small-country saddle demanded a new declaration of allegiance, D. signed this mainly among 24 nobles. It must also have been in his capacity as the foremost man of the countryside - besides the Hagelsrum farm, which was burned by the Danes in 1612, he owned some twenty farms in Ydre and surrounding herds, most of which were acquired through purchases. - like D. In 1612, during a fiery war, he was ordered to be governor of the heavily employed border country, then still partially occupied by the Danes. According to his instructions, D. would only handle civil cases. This is one of the earliest examples of the separation of military and civilian authority, which was first carried out only in the 1630s. The title of governor for governors had been used before, but came into more general use first with this division of expertise.

In the few preserved acts of D's hand, he appears as a well-formed person in view of the conditions of the time. However, D's main importance was that of the warrior and the village chief.
