Text source

Sophia "Robertsdotter" Feif was twice married to Swedish clerics and appears to have spent much of her life abroad with her husbands. The first was Per Billingius, who was a field priest for the Narke and Varmland regiment from 1623-37 (for a time under Alexander Leslie's [SSNE 1] command). Billingus probably died in 1647. She subsequently married Christophorus Nicolai Urianius before 1648, who was also a field priest in Germany until 1649. Uranius then returned to Sweden and died there in 1687. Sophia herself died in 1680. It is unknown whether she was related to Robert Feif [SSNE 4577], but her name suggests a familial link.
