rom Tracy Ashley Crocker: An emigrant from
Sweden to Denmark was given the surname Nye, newcomer. Tradition
tells us that about the middle of the thirteenth century a person
came and settled in Fredericksborg Bailiwick and Slangerup Parish
in the Sjelland Section of Denmark. There was a rumor that he was
the descendant of Harold Blautand who died in 985, through his
daughter who married one of the most famous of the Swedish heroes,
Styribiorn, son of Olaf, King of Sweden. In 1316 Lave was Bishop
of Roskilde. [unknown GED]
