2 PLAC Grandee (Stormand)
Asser Rig (Hvide) was a Squire (Herremand) and Grandee (Stormand/Høvding)residing in Fjenneslev. It was during his time that the Sorø Abbey (SorøKloster) was founded. In Fjenneslev Church can be seen a white wash painting, which displays Asser Rig and his wife giving gifts to God: he himself giving the church, and her a gold ring.Asser Rig was foster-father to the murdered Danish nobleman Knud Lavard'sson Valdemar. Born one week after the murder of his father, Valdemar grew up in Asser's home in Fjenneslev together with Asser's two sons Esbern and Absalon. Esbern became one of Valdemar's retainers. Absalon was made bishop of Roskilde, in 1158, largely as a result of Valdemar's putting in an appearance just when the canons were about to elect a new bishop. Later Absalon was made Archbishop of Lund in 1178. Absalon is credited as being the founder of Københaven (Copenhagen).

According to "Nachkommen Gorms des Alten", by S.O. Brenner (1978edition), Asser Rig's wife Inge is probably identical to IngerEriksdatter - the daughter of Earl (Jarl) Erik and Princess Cecilie(Knudsdatter), daughter of Knud den Hellige. Evidently the proof forthis not absolute, and the accuracy of this assertion is disputed.
