Name

Hemming's first name was not Henning. His children are consistently named Hemmingsson or Hemmingsdotter, and when occurring in contemporary documents he is also referred to as Hemming. There is one occasion in SDHK 3723 where the scribe has made the mistake (calling him Henning), but he's called Hemming further up in the same document.

His patronymic is not known. Tanne is possibly a byname since he is known as Hemming Tanne in some documents.

Occupation

Occupation: Väpnare

Heraldry

The often occurring heraldic device showing a "Tannenbaum" - a fir tree - on a red field is entirely made up. No such thing ever existed. There is no evidence for the actual heraldic device used by Hemming.^[1]
