The author of several works against Scandinavian Reformers, he also translated works by the Dutch Humanist Erasmus and wrote the Skiby chronicle, a discussion of Danish religious and political events of his time. He refused to break with the pope and the Roman Catholic Church but criticized the worldliness of the church and the selling of indulgences.
