Otto Pogwisch

Otto Pogwisch (c. 1610 - 9 February 1684) was a Danish government official who held a number of important offices during the reign of Christian V.

Career

He was general war commissioner (generalkrigskommisær) from 1661 to 1674 with responsibility for the financial administration of the military. He was from February 1669 also a member of the Gehejmeråd )"government") and a Supreme Court justice. In 1674, he was vice president of Danish Chancellery and president (justitiarius ) of the Supreme Court.[1]

Property

Pogwisch was at an early age the owner of Ås (Børglum Herred) but already sold it in 1633. He received Jernit as dowry and succeeded his heaily indebted father-in-law as owner of the estates Palstrup, Aldrupgård, Hagsholm, Løjstrup and Ørs but in 1662-65 had to sell most of them to Mogens Friis;

Pogwisch was again the owner of Palstrup in 1665-72). He was also the owner of Torpegård (until 1669), Haling Hovgård (1665–68), Tyrrestrup (1662–68), Lerbæk ( 1665–72), Ryumgård (1666–72), Hjermeslevgård (1666(?)-68),[2] Hollufgård ( 1667–69), Fodbygård (), Frydendal (from 1671), Saltø (1668-1684), Kongsdal (Tygestrup (1672-), Toftholm () and Vennergård (a share, 1680–84).

In spite of his many estates, Pogwisch struggled with economic difficulties, some of which he had probably taken over from his father-in-law. In 1680, an audit commission concluded that Pogwisch owed 10,000 Danish rigsdaler to the Crown. He was unable to raise the money and had to sell his house in Copenhagen in public auction.[1]

gollark: Honestly that's entirely unnecessary and I would probably only need simple splitting into lines and label handling, but you know.
gollark: That's how you would do it in my thing, using a somewhat insane S-expression assembly-ish language.
gollark: Using hypothetical assembly syntax I haven't actually implemented:```# start of memory to add kittens to(add r1 r0 0x1000) # maybe there would be nice dedicated syntax for "set register" actually# end of kittenized region(add r2 r0 0x1600)(label loop (add r3 r0 40) (poke r3 r1 0) (add r3 r0 94) (poke r3 r1 1) # and so on (add r1 r1 8) (jlt r1 r2 loop))```
gollark: To create RAM kittens, all you need to do is `ADD` the ASCII value of each character into a temporary register, `POKE` them into the right memory location (using the per-instruction `POKE` offset, probably), and then do that in a loop.
gollark: I should probably implement arithmetic instructions then a basic assembler, I guess, because hand-writing machine code is unpleasant.
