- Abstract
Kaare Rübner Jørgensen's intention is to prove that the results of my research on the life and identity of the Franciscan friar Jakob the Dane (ca. 1483-1566) are erroneous. I first present a brief survey of the historical picture of Friar Jakob through the centuries. Then I answer KRJ's criticisms. His judgments are influenced by two theories of interpretation: "deconstructivism" and "demythologization". Was Jakob really born a member of the Danish Royal House? From the 16th century onwards, all Mexican, Spanish and Franciscan texts say that he was. KRJ dismisses the Mexican primary sources as "mythological". He rejects their information based on Jakob's surname in Mecklenburg, "Gottorpius." But Jakob only used this name in Mecklenburg during the dynastic conflict in Denmark, and at the same time he confirmed his Franciscan vocation by calling himself "Provincial Minister of Dacia." The decisive witness for Jacob's affiliation with the Danish royal family is the historian of the county of Oldenburg, Hermann Hamelmann. His list of the three eldest sons of King Hans and Queen Christine names them: "Johan, Carsten (Christian) and Jakob."
