Notes for Oluf Åkesson Hising
Oluf’s parents are Åke Olofsson and Margareta Jönsdotter.
When his mother-in-law passed away, he filed a claim with her mortuary for the cost of her visits. Jan requested “3 dahler at least a week.” The case was pending in court.
In the publication “from Lund and Lundagård,” the author describes a popular pastime among students: running around the city and shooting, usually with shotguns or pistols. In June 1723, student Johan Öller, a relative of Olof Hising’s wife, was involved in such an adventure. While his servant Pär was cutting grass in his master’s honor, Johan Öller accidentally shot the poor boy in the throat, chest, groin, legs, and arms. The shots were severe. Öller was terrified by the outcome of his reckless shooting and, when the consistory summoned him, he was described as a “lost man in gray clothes and a wig on his horse, which was brown.” The authorities wanted to ensure the boy’s safety until the situation stabilized. After three weeks, Öller returned to Lund, but his whereabouts remained unknown.
In July, Öller presented himself to the consistory with a couple of certificates. One was signed by Cathedral Minister C. Engelov and student Jonas Drakander, who was Hising’s son’s informant. These witnesses testified that Öller had fired the shots in self-defense and that he had caused the boy “his pleasure” by inflicting pain and burning. The second certificate stated that the boy was now healthy and safe, and that Öller had paid for his “fees for the cure.” Scapegoats didn’t always evade punishment. For many, it meant either student imprisonment or relegation for a longer or shorter period.
