On 14 December 1295, Grand too, succeeded in escaping with the help of a cook and fled to his castle Hammershus on Bornholm, whereafter he sought help from Boniface VIII. While Grand was in Rome, Eric "Menved" took his revenge by ravaging the estates of Grand and his supporters. Grand preferred a charge on Eric "Menved" at the curia, demanding a huge compensation for his arrest, the ravage of his estates, together with general royal concessions. In return Eric "Menved" accused him of disloyal behaviour and treason.
