Hans Didrik Brinck-Seidelin

Hans Diderik de Brinck-Seidelin (1 August 1720 – 5 March 1778) was a Danish Supreme Court justice and landowner who was raised to the peerage under the name Brinck-Seidelin in 1753. He owned the estates Hagestedgård (1748–1769), Holbæk Ladegård (1748–1778) and Eriksholm (1762–1778).

Early life He was born on 1 August in Copenhagen, the son of the Royal confessor Iver Brinck (1665–1728) and Sophie Seidelin (1693–1741). His maternal grandfather was Post Master-General Hans Seidelin.

Property Brinck-Seidelin's maternal uncle, Hans Hansen Seidelin, had no male heirs. He therefore endowed the estates Hagestedgård and Holbæk Ladegård to Hans Diedrik Brinck-Seidelin with the intention that they be turned into a (entailed estate or family trust) for future generations of the Seidelin family. Brinck-Seidelin purchased Eriksholm and established Stamhuset Hagested from his now three estates in 1752. He was at the same time ennobled under the name de Brinck-Seidelin. Hagestedgård was, however, with royal approbation, sold to Carl Adolph von Castenschiold in 1769.

Family On 25 May 1746 in Horsens, Brinck-Seidelin married to Ingeborg Pedersdatter Bering (1727–1796). They had nine children: Sophie Brinck (1749–1752) Hans Brinck-Seidelin (3 January 1750 – 30 September 1831) Elisabeth Cathrine Brinck-Seidelin (1751–1752) Sophie Elisabeth Cathrine Brinck-Seidelin (6 September 1752 – 15 June 1820) Ivarica Brinck-Seidelin (1754 – 29 April 1826) Peder Brinck-Seidelin (1753–1754) Petronelle Brinck-Seidelin (24 November 1755 – 1 May 1801) Iver Brinck-Seidelin (October 1756 – 1756) Iver Brinck-Seidelin (1757–1761)
