Sigrid Erlendsdatter

15th century

Sigrid Erlendsdatter from Losna in Gudbrandsdalen was married to Håkon Sigurdsson before 1388. Håkon gave her several gifts of gold, among them a gold wreath with large pearls on New Year's Day 1388. After his death she and her new husband Magnus Magnusson claimed that Håkon had left Giske to her in his will. The claim led to an inheritance dispute with Sigurd Jonsson that lasted from 1409 to 1426.
