De la Gardie (?)

Aka Delagardie. Two main contendors: 1) Pontus de la Gardie (1520?–1585) originally Ponce d’Escouperie, left France in 1565, mercenary for Denmark, captured by Swedes, switched sides, became Pontus de la Gardie, married Sofia Johansdotter, illegitimate daughter of king Johan III of Sweden, became Governor of Swedish Estonia (1574-1575), captured Narva from Russia (1581), re-Governor of Swedish Estonia (1583-1585), drowned in Narva River, buried in Toom-Kirik. No street named after him, just a shopping center in Viru tänav although there was a redoubt in his name on one of the south-east city walls ca. 1710. 2) Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie (1622-1686), his grandson, Lord High Treasurer of Sweden (1652-1660) and Governor-General of Livonia (1649-1651) with many an etc. between, as well as Count of Kuressaare  responsible for building the town’s Town Hall and, rumor has it the weighhouse (vaekoda) on Saaremaa (probably him).
