Hans Diderik Brinck-Seidelin


Hans Diderik de Brinck-Seidelin was a Danish Supreme Court justice and landowner who was raised to the peerage under the name Brinck-Seidelin in 1753. He owned the estates Hagestedgård, Holbæk Ladegård and Eriksholm.

Early life

He was born on 1 August in Copenhagen, the son of the Royal confessor Iver Brinck and Sophie Seidelin. His maternal grandfather was Post Master-General Hans Seidelin.

Property

Brinck-Seidelin's maternal uncle, Hans Hansen Seidelin, had no male heirs. He therefore endowed the estates Hagestedgård and Holbæk Ladegård to Hans Diedrik Brinck-Seidelin with the intention that they be turned into a stamhus for future generations of the Seidelin family. Brinck-Seidelin purchased Eriksholm and established Stamhuset Hagested from his now three estates in 1752. He was at the same time ennobled under the name de Brinck-Seidelin. Hagestedgård was, however, with royal approbation, sold to Carl Adolph von Castenschiold in 1769.

Family

He was married Ingeborg Pedersdatter Bering on 25 May 1746 in Horsens. She bore him nine children:
