| Christen Hansen Rue | Hans Nielsen Rue | Niels Hansen Rue |
These three men were employed in Norway.
One Hans Rue citizen and lieutenant in Copenhagen, his 2. marriage about 1642.
From Christian Hansen Rue's application, in 1670 to "Cancelliet" concerning Søndfjord Magistrate district we see, that his parents for years had been living in Copenhagen ,paying tax there, and that his father Hans Rue during the siege of Copenhagen was Lieutenant and was a trusted citizen there. (Cancelli report 1670.)
Hans Rue's father might be Jan (Johan) de la Rue who I found in this book:
"Kong Kristian den fjerde og hans mænd på Bremerholm" (King Kristian 4. and his men on Bremerholm).
- Kapitel III A.
Kbh., Gyldendalske Boghandel, 1889
Hans Daniel Lind (1847-1924)

Gyldenstjærne in Norge, or else where he sailing with the Fleet (Navy).In 1576 was Johan de la Rue again "Galej" capitain, and in February 1577 he got supplies to "Galejen Jakob". We also know that he 1589 August 25. accompanied Admiral P. Munk with "Lille Fortun" on the Scottish journey. - He was the owner of house in Kongensgade close to Volden.

From this village the family spread to Lille, Paris and Picardy.
