''Barnebow'' was rich by birth and owned several estates, including Birkholm (now Løvenborg ), Tølløse , Vittskövle Castle in Skåneland and a farm in Copenhagen . Spend nearly 16 years of his early life travelling all over Europe, including a three year jury in the Holy Land and Egypt . Spend six years at the Universities of Jena and Ingolstadt and two years at the University Of Padua . After his return he became a diplomat for the Danish king, in further travels in Scotland, England, Poland and Brandenburg. Hans Poulsen Resen , professor of theology, who also held the funeral session for Barnekow on March 26 , 1612 in Elsinore , note in his writing that Barnekow brought back with him many rare things, which he had found in foreign countries; unfortunately they have all now disappeared. A Halland tale says that Barnebow was killed in 1612 during the Kalmar War , near Skjellinge Hede , when he gave King Christian IV Of Denmark , who was trapped by the Swedish, his horse, so he could escape. The Swedish then killed him. The tale originates in 18th century literature and is doubted today. SOURCES
