| Description |
Denne parerplaten satt opprinnelig på en kårde som drepte teologikandidat og sogneprest Edvard Meyers huslærer, Jens Holck i 1706. Drapsmannen var kaptein Gregorius Allesguth. Allesguth ble stilt for krigsrett for forbrytelsen og henrettet den 30. august samme år. Motivet har aldri blitt kjent, men mye tyder på at fyll var en utløsende årsak. At straffen ble så streng kan ha sammenheng med at drapet skjedde på dagtid, på en viktig helligdag (pinsen), i stua i sogneprestens egen bolig. Ifølge kildene var det flere vitner til drapet. NTNU Vitenskapsmuseet mottok platen en gang før 1871. Hvem som leverte platen vet vi ikke, men i den gamle katalogteksten står følgende: «... skal efter sagnet være af en kaarde, hvormed en prest blev stukken ihjel bagfra gjennom vinduet af en forbireisende.» Det var ikke uvanlig at gjenstander fra henrettede eller drepte personer ble tillagt overnaturlige egenskaper og derfor brukt i lokal folkemedisin. Denne platen ble, blant annet: «...brugt i Ørkedalen og Stadsbygden som middel mod gevekster* ...» før det var levert til museet (*svulster eller utvekster) This “Plate-guard” was originally attached to a sword that killed the theology-candidate and parish-priest Edvard Meyer’s private teacher, Jens Holck in 1706. The killer was Captain Gregorius Allesguth. Allesguth was tried by the military court and was executed at Munkholmen 30th of august, the same year. The motive has never been known but much suggest that drunkenness was the primary cause. The reason he received such a hard penalty could be connected to the fact that the murder happened during the day, at an important holiday (Pentecost), in the living room in the parish-priest’s own home. According to the sources, several witnesses were present. NTNU University Museum received the plate sometime before 1871. We do not know who delivered the plate, but in the attached text, it is written what translates roughly to: “… should, according to the myth, belong to a sword, used by a passerby to stab to death a priest from behind through the window.” It is not unusual that artefacts from executed or murdered persons was added supernatural properties and was therefore used in local popular medicine. This plate was for instance «… used in Ørkedalen and Stadsbygd as a remedy against “gevekster”*… » before it was delivered to the museum. (*tumours or other growths)
