Arne Arnesson

first half of the 11th century

Arne Arnesson, brother of Kalv, Finn and Torberg, lived in the first half of the 11th century. According to the sagas he, like Torberg, married into Erling Skjalgsson's family at Sola, and the genealogy Arnmœðlinga tal calls his wife Geirrid. His son Jon acquired Bjarkøy in Troms through marriage, and so Arne is regarded as the founding ancestor of the Bjarkøy family (Bjarkøyætta), the branch that some 200 years later came back to Giske.

Son of Arne Arnmodsson at Giske and brother of Kalv, Finn and Torberg. His son Jon married into Bjarkøy in Troms, and so Arne became the founding ancestor of the Bjarkøy family (Bjarkøyætta), the northern branch of the family.
