**Frants Banner** (died 24 July 1575) was a [Danish](/source/Denmark) landowner and [lensmann](/source/Lensmann).

## Biography

Frants Banner was the son of [Marshal of the Realm](/source/Marshal_of_the_Realm_(Denmark)) and privy counsellor Erik Eriksen Banner (c. 1484 – 1554) and Mette Rosenkrantz (død 1533). He is first mentioned in 1546 as [lensmann](/source/Lensmann) of the provost in Aarhus and was possibly then part of the administration.[1]

In 1548, he took part in Princess Anna's wedding procession to [Sachsen](/source/Sachsen). He was lensmann of Holbæk from 1550. After his father's death I 1554 he took over his father's fief Kalø instead and finally Børglum kloster in 1557–1574. In the [Northern Seven Years' War](/source/Northern_Seven_Years'_War), he served as a *[ritmester](/source/Rittmeister)* of the Jutland Cacalry.[1]

He married Anne Johansdatter Oxe /buried 4 May 1581 in Torslev Church), a daughter of Johan Oxe of Nielstrup (died 1534) and Mette Gøye (død ca. 1537).

He inherited Kokkedal from his father and [Ryegaard](/source/Ryegaard) from his mother.[2] In 1573, he ceded Ryegaard to the Crown in exchange for Ø Kloster in Jutland. He renamed Ø Kloster Oxholm as a tribute to his wife's family. His family ties to his brother-in-law [Peder Oxe](/source/Peder_Oxe) have probably secured him a better position than he would otherwise have had.[1]
