Orm family

The Orm family in Western Norway is the family of Orm Erikson and Erik Ormson Orm. It mainly comprises persons residing in Stavanger and in Stord.

Introduction[edit]

Many genealogies have Orm Eriksen in Stavanger referred to as Orm Eriksen Orm.^{[citation needed]} Orm is then used as a family name. There are no known sources where Orm Eriksen used this name. Before we meet Erik Ormson as Erik Orm around 1550, there were several who used Orm as a surname or nickname in Sweden and Denmark.^{[citation needed]} We also have a Kjetil Orm in Telemark in 1400- century and Knut Orm in Oslo in the middle of the 16th century, but whether there is any connection between them is uncertain.^{[citation needed]}

The shield in family coat of arms one to Orm is blazoned in this way by herald Hallvard Trætteberg in 1933: «Silver bottom, two intertwined (half) blue worms. " Trætteberg drew the worms with red e, protruding tongues, and he made the worms cut off by giving both a red round end surface at the bottom.^{[citation needed]}

The seal mark of Orm Erikson is unknown. Erik Ormson, Erik Erikson Orm and Eline Eriksdatter Orm used coat of arms as seal marks with two create^{[disambiguation needed]} worms swirling around each other. Anna Eriksdatter Orm used a seal mark with a Lindworm as a weapon figure. We thus do not know whether these coat of arms were used because of the name Orm, as a so-called "Canting arms", or whether the weapon existed first and the name Orm was then taken after figure^{[disambiguation needed]}.

Erik Tostason[edit]

Orm Erikson is first mentioned in a document on Vossevangen 29.5.1482.^{[citation needed]} One can interpret the document as if he was the son of Erik Tostason. It is not unreasonable, but the word "father" can also refer to grandfather or father-in-law. Erik Torsteinson was obviously dead at this time. We do not know much about when he lived. In 1463, a payment from an Erik Torsteinson was recorded in Munkeliv Abbey's land register.^{[citation needed]} It may have been the same Erik Torsteinson that is mentioned in the document from 1482, but it is uncertain. Erik Torsteinson seems to be almost invisible in the source material.^{[citation needed]}

Orm Erikson[edit]

Orm Erikson had become gunman^{[disambiguation needed]} between 1490 and 1509.^{[citation needed]} He was executed in 1521.^{[citation needed]} He was married to Astrid Ormsdatter.^{[citation needed]} They had a son Erik Ormson. Asgaut Steinnes believed that they also had a daughter who was married to Ivar at Tokheim. The basis for the hypothesis was a change in 1497. Ivar at Tokheim probably later owned some of the assets that were changed in 1497. Then it is best to introduce a daughter of Orm Erikson who was married to Ivar at Tokheim. It is also possible that some of the properties in the shift were later sold to Ivar at Tokheim.^{[citation needed]}

Erik Ormson Orm to Vatne and Valvatne[edit]

We first meet Erik Ormson on 12 August 1523 when he was granted the farm Tjore in Ryfylke.^{[citation needed]} In 1523-1525 Erik Ormson was also sheriff in Sogn, but will probably be deposed in 1526.^{[citation needed]} In 1529 Erik Ormson tried unsuccessfully to become a lawyer in Stavanger.^{[citation needed]} Erik Ormson is referred to as gunman (nobleman) from 1533.^{[citation needed]} I 1555 Erik Ormson is listed as sheriff - he then had a grant, but without it being stated where it was. }}.

Erik was probably born and raised in Stavanger and is last mentioned in Stavanger in 1554.^{[citation needed]} He was in many court rounds about the inheritance after Magdalena Olavsdatter.^{[citation needed]} It ended in 1557 with a settlement that made Erik Ormson then became the owner of a large estate with the main weight in Hordaland.^{[citation needed]} From 1562 he is titled for the first time as Erik Ormson to Valvatne on Stord.^{[citation needed]} He was probably born in the 1490s and died May 7, 1564 and was buried in Stord main church.^{[citation needed]} He was probably married to Kirstine Torsteinsdatter.^{[citation needed]}

Erik Erikson Orm[edit]

Erik Erikson Orm at Stord was a nobleman and married to Magdalena Kristoffersdatter (Rustung).^{[citation needed]} He was betrothed to Tjore in Ryfylke in 1565.^{[citation needed]}
