Margrete Nikolasdatter

d. 1307

Margrete Nikolasdatter, died 1307, daughter of Nikolas Petersson, was sole heir to Giske after the male line died out. Around 1270 she married Bjarne Erlingsson of Bjarkøy in Troms, and so two branches of the Arnlings were united again after some 200 years. Giske and Bjarkøy came into one hand. In her last days she gave a quarter of Fatten in Bergen to the altar of St Mary in Christ Church (Kristkirken) (DN 2/88).
