was the son of Vincent Iversen Dyre to Tirsbæk in Jutland and Kirsten
Lunge to Adserstrup on Laaland. Like his brothers
Ove, Tyge, and Vincent, mentioned below , he took his mother's name, but kept the
weapons of the animals. From 1515 he is in possession of a couple of small ones
on Laaland; but by his marriage to a niece of Bishop
Lage Urne, Karen Rosengaard, he became closely connected with the
Catholic Bishops' Party and in 1515 became bishop's sheriff at Svendstrup,
later at Gjorslev and from 1525 until his death at Selsø.
Although he, in contrast to his brothers, seems to have been a
very insignificant man, he was, probably precisely under the
influence of Lage Urnes , admitted to the Royal Council in 1523 by Frederik I. Larger Assignments
however, he was never trusted. On Lord's Day 1533 after the
death of Frederik I , he probably followed in the footsteps of the bishops, co-sealed the
recess of July 3, by which the free preaching of the word was put
in the way, and participated in the judgment of Hans Tausen. The same
autumn he was sent with Mr. Truid Ulfstand to Sweden and ended
in Feb. 1534 a Defense Treaty with this Land against Lybek. When the
Count's feud soon broke out, he joined
Count Christoffer, like the rest of the East Danish nobility; but during the popular uprising
against the Council of State, he was arrested at New Year's in 1535 and taken
as a prisoner to Mecklenburg. After the end of the war he,
like the other captured Reichsraaders, was handed over to Christian III and
only attained his full freedom, after he in Oct.. In 1536 in Copenhagen he
had had to issue a letter of allegiance to Christian III and
his son and acknowledge the change of state that had taken place. On the other hand
, he never got his seat in the National Council again; of strange kongl. Grace was given
to him to keep Selsø Len, on which he had received a life certificate
from Lage Urne. As sheriff here he came in 1548 to
accompany Prince Frederik (II) to Norway; but when in 1551 he complained of
high taxation of Lenet, the answer sounded short and
sweet : when he was a prisoner in Mecklenburg, the king occupied Zealand and then
had the power to give Lenet to whomever he wanted, but still let
him keep that; now he had only to obey. - He
died on Selsø 23 April 1552, «in his 67th year».
