Notes for Nicolaus (Spouse 1)
Nicolaus Olai Bothniensis, born around 1550 in Piteå, Sweden, passed away on May 18, 1600, in Stockholm. He was a prominent Swedish archbishop, theologian, and professor.
Nicolaus Olai Bothniensis is believed to be the son of the chaplain Olaus in Piteå. After studying in Rostock, he held positions as a Hebrew and theology teacher at Johan III’s college in Stockholm. During the latter part of Johan III’s reign, Bothniensis’s stance towards the king’s theological aspirations became more critical. He opposed the king’s liturgy, which retained certain medieval Catholic customs. However, the claim that Johan Baazius the Elder imprisoned Bothniensis between 1589 and 1592 for his views lacks any historical evidence.
When Uppsala University was re-established in 1593, Bothniensis was appointed professor of Old Testament exegesis. Between 1593 and 1599, he also held the position of provost of Uppsala, which appears to have been linked to his professorship. Additionally, he taught Hebrew, as evidenced by his title of Hebreae Lingvae Professor at the Riksdag in 1599.
In 1599, Bothniensis was elected archbishop upon Abraham Angermannus’s deposition, but unfortunately, he never had the opportunity to be consecrated before his passing.
Bothniensis, a celebrated theologian and a prominent author of theological literature, played a significant role in the negotiations at the Uppsala meeting. On the second day of the meeting, he was appointed chairman. According to a contemporary account, after the decision to adopt the Augsburg Confession as a symbol of the Swedish church, he is said to have exclaimed, “Now Sweden has become a man, and we all have a Lord and God” – a phrase that has become synonymous with the perception of the Uppsala meeting by posterity. Among his notable works is Theses de Sacra Scriptura (1584).
During the political and religious crisis of the 1590s, it appears that he sided with Charles IX. He also participated in the so-called Sausage Campaign, a muster organised to prevent the Finnish military from landing in Roslagen under the leadership of Arvid Eriksson Stålarm d.y.
Married in 1588 to Elisabet Grubb from the esteemed Bureätten family, he later remarried as a widower to the dean Claudius Opsopaeus. Their children, including a son and two daughters, adopted the surname Stjernman. One daughter married Bishop Jacobus Johannis Zebrozynthius, while another daughter married Johannes Rudbeckius. A great-granddaughter married Archbishop Johan Baazius Jnr.
When he lay on his deathbed, surrounded by several priests, he is said to have urged them to ".../... conscientiously attend to their calling, as well as guard against the errors of the papists and Calvinists."/.../ samvetsgrant sköta sitt kall som att vakta sig för papisternas och kalvinisternas villfarelser."
