Kristin

d. c. 1340?

Kristin received all of Giske, with Rund and the Gauksøy islands, in Bjarne Erlingsson's will of 1308 or 1309. Who she was is disputed. The will calls her his son's daughter, but it may also have been his daughter-in-law Kristin Toresdatter, the widow of Andres. Giske later passed to Erling Vidkunsson, probably after she died childless, perhaps around 1340.
