Talk:Steen Andersen Bille

BBC Programme
On 19 October 2021 (i.e. yesterday) on the British television channel BBC1 there was a programme titled "Who do you think you are" tracing the ancestors of the actress Dame Judi Dench. Her lineage was documented back to Steen Andersen Bille, the progenitor in this article, who was apparently illegitimate but did the Danish monarch a great service about 1669. Further back two (?) generations, a great aunt married into the Brahe family and gave birth to the astronomer Tycho Brahe. The above is based on notes I took during the programme - I hope they are accurate! The BBC researchers had access to numerous British and Danish archives but these were not specified to the extent that an interested Wiki-editor could quote them as references. Anyone on Wikipedia with an interest in the subject should try viewing the programme on BBC i-player as a start.
