  • Notes 
    • Born in the village of Svanings five kilometers north of Faborg on the island of Funen, Denmark. As a poor Funen village boy Hans was helped in his studies by a relative
      Jens Andersen, a counselor for the Bishop of Odense (Funen). He studied at Our Lady's School in Copenhagen and at the Copenhagen University before going abroad. In 1529
      he was admitted into the University of Wittenberg, Germany where in 1533, at 30 years old, he received the M. of A. degree and possibly stayed for six more years.
      Returning to Copenhagen he was appointed professor in Rhetorie but already 1541 he was appointed teacher (or chastiser) for the young prince Frederick, a job he had until 1552. In 1547 he was appointed Dean of the Dome of Ribe, an office he took over in 1552. He settled in Ribe, marrying into the wealthy citizen family Stage. In Wittenberg he showed an interest in history. During 1542 the outstanding Wittenberg teacher Philip Melauchton
      suggested to the Danish King Christian III to order Svanings to explain the introduction of the Reformation to the Danish countries. In 1548 Svanings was suggested to translate the Islandic poet Snorres "HEIMSKRINGLA" from Icelandic to Danish. From a special license in 1555 we know that he gathered a great amount of historic information from monasteries and chapters. He was also used as the governments representative in the historic discussion over
      the Swedish national history writing. And at the same time he worked on his own huge historic work never reaching aconclusion. The government impatiently ordered him to mail it to Copenhagen to be judged by professors. So it happened between 1581-1583 obviously with a negative judgement. It was never printed in full extension only the part of King Hans history.
      Great parts of the manuscript burned during the fire of Copenhagen in 1728. Of the few remaining parts, one can see Svanings seldom used documents as a base. His materials were weak and he aimed towards propagandist effects. However, he was the first person writing the Danish history in Latin. The known fragments place him as a state-historian. Though his work may have influenced younger history writers environments in Ribe. In his marriage there were six children.
