Eric XIV of Sweden
The then head of the house, sir Lars Fleming (died 1562), governor of the Stockholm Palace, was among the first ones to ever be created friherre in Sweden, which took place in the coronation of Eric XIV of Sweden on 29 June 1561. Baron Lars got the title "Baron of Nynes" ("Nynäs") from one of his maternally inherited manors. His male line became extinct on 5 January 1569.
