Biography

Porse was the son of Peder Porse, who was one of several Danish nobleman involved in the assassination of King Eric V of Denmark and thus was exiled since 1286 with his family. [2]

On 21 June 1327, Porse married Norwegian princess Ingeborg (1301–1361), daughter of King Haakon V of Norway (1270–1319). She was also Duchess of Södermanland by her first marriage to Swedish prince Eric Magnusson, Duke of Södermanland (1282–1318). Through her first marriage, she was the mother of King Magnus (IV & VII) of Sweden and Norway (1316–1374) and of Euphemia of Sweden (1317–1370) wife of Albert II, Duke of Mecklenburg. [3] [4]

Before marrying Duchess Ingeborg, Porse had led the troops that put a military end to the reign of her brother-in-law King Birger in 1318. In 1322, without the approval of the Swedish government, he had joined forces with her to invade and try to conquer Scania (then in Denmark), which failed and caused trouble for them with that government. In the next year Ingeborg's valuable dowry of Axvall was besieged and in a peace settlement in 1326 (the year before she married Porse) she was given Dåvö in Munktorp instead.[5]

Following his marriage to Ingeborg, Porse became duke of her extensive additional domains in Halland and Samsø. In 1329, her authority was extended to the Duchy of Estonia, but Canute Porse died the year after that. Porse and Ingeborg had two sons (below),[6] who lost their Scanian hundreds of Bjäre and North Åsbo in 1341,[7] but retained Halland till their deaths.

gollark: <@498244879894315027> Firstly, you could probably try and just use some existing packet capture tool for this. Secondly, seriously what are you doing?! I don't think trying to replay IP or Ethernet packets (whatever gets sent to the network card) has any chance of working to meddle with a higher-level service.
gollark: I suspect it's whatever you're doing to bptr after each broadcast. That looks dubious and the log says it's a "loadprohibited" error, which sounds like something memory.
gollark: I don't think this affects *me* very badly, since my configured disk encryption all runs in software without any weird TPM interaction, I don't use "secure" boot, and it seems like this would need physical access or unrealistically good timing, but it's still not very good.
gollark: I wonder if AMD's PSP has similar holes. In any case, they should really just not be sticking subprocessors with closed-source non-user-modifiable firmware and root access into every CPU.
