- "Niels Goml?se, Byefouget" was one of the 22 men who were named in the December 1658 list as having taken part in the uprising against the Swedes. His ancestry probably stems from Sk?ne, namely the parish of Guml?sa in V?stra G?inge district.
After the successful rebellion of 1658 Peder Olsen and a delegation of 10 other men were sent to K?benhavn. They were granted and audience with King Frederik the 3rd on December 29th, and presented him with a "gavebrev" (gift deed - a pledge of allegiance) from their island. They also brought a list of the names of 22 Bornholmers who had a prominent role in the liberation of the island: first on the list was "Hr. Poffuel Ancker Sougnepr?st til Rydskier och Hasle Sougner haffer V?rit baade i Raad och Daad til all denne Hans Kongl. May:tts tienneste med Toug, Vagt Reystning, och endnu flittig bes?ger land Vagterne." (Mr. Poul Ancher, Parish Priest for Rutsker and Hasle Parishes, having Done both in Counsel and Deed all in the His Royal Majesty's interest with this Campaign, Guard Duty, and continuing diligent Defence of the land.) There were 10 men from R?nne named on the list: Mayor Claus Kames, Hans Christensen (Storch), Willum Clausen (Kelou), Skipper Hans Lauridsen, Skipper Jens Jensen, Anders Staale, Morten Mortensen, Oluf Andersen, Mads Kofoed Pedersen and Mogens Tidemand; 10 men from Hasle: Poul Ancher, Jens Kofoed Pedersen, Byfoged Niels Guml?se, Ridefoged Jens Lauridsen (Risom), Aage Svendsen, Claus Nielsen, Erland Olufsen, "Rigens Hofmesters tjener" (the Kingdom's Steward's servant) Hans Mathiasen and an unnamed second servant; and 2 from Nyker: freeman Hans Kofoed Olsen and his brother Claus Kofoed Olsen.
