Peder Bang
Peder Bang († June 23, 1277 ) was Bishop of Roskilde from 1254 to 1277 .
He succeeded Jakob Erlandsen when he became Archbishop of Lund. He was Jakob Erlandsen's sister son and his most loyal supporter. His father is unknown.
When King Christopher I imprisoned the archbishop on February 6, 1259, Peder Bang offered fierce resistance. On April 9, 1259 he imposed an interdict on his diocese, and in April of the same year he moved with the army of Prince Jaromar II , his uncle, from Rügen to Copenhagen, conquered it and destroyed the castle.
On May 29, 1259, King Christopher died suddenly in Ribe . The queen widow Margarete Sambiria mobilized the farmers of Zealand, but Jaromar inflicted a bloody defeat on them. In the following discussion, the bishop both the young king took Erik Klipping and the Dowager Queen with excommunication . However, he had to leave the country with the archbishop, who has since been released. There he had to experience that Pope Alexander IV transferred the administration of his diocese to his adversary Tyge von Arhus.
In 1268 he moved with the archbishop to Rome, where he stayed for several years. A comparison between the opponents seemed possible. On the way home to Denmark, the archbishop was murdered on Rügen in February 1274. Peder Bang went on alone, and in May 1274 a settlement was reached between him and the king.
