Johannes Lauritsson (c. 1540 – c. 1620) was a wealthy Norwegian landowner of the prominent, and at least later, noble Galte-family. He is mentioned as living in Valen, Kvinnherad from 1563 to 1578.〔"''Jondal kommune, Gards- og slektssoge, bind II''"〕 Around 1567, during the Northern Seven Years' War, Johannes joined his cousin Enno Brandrøk to Sweden in his scheme to aggravate Danish king Frederick II. Johannes was after some time sent back to Norway with a letter for the nobility, describing great hostilities and even saying they should kill as many Danes as possible. Johannes was because of this, captured and sentenced to be executed. However he was set free after paying 100 daler. This was probably thanks to Enno's sister Anna Tronds and the fact that the lord of Bergenhus, Erik Rosenkrantz also was Enno's cousin.〔Handegård, Odd (2008), ["''[http://www.valeforlag.no/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=5&Itemid=4 Vår felles slektshistorie. Hardanger, Sunnhordland og Ryfylke m.m. 1170-1650''"], p. 314〕 Johannes is not mentioned again after his return from Sweden until 1578, when he was trustee for his mother in the case against the brothers Sebjørn and Tore Toresson. At this time he still lived at the farm Valen. He was married around 1583-85 to Herborg Torbjørnsdatter of Sandven, and then also received one of the two farms at Torsnes, Jondal which she in turn had inherited from her grandfather or great-grandfather Peter Nilsson of Torsnes.〔 Johannes also inherited land from Guttorm Nilsson, and in 1603 he was, together with Herborg's brother Olav, one of the wealthiest landowners in Hardanger and Sunnhordland. Johannes was juror in 1590, 1599 and 1610, and in 1591 he was also the representative from Strandebarm at the celebration of the king in Oslo.〔 ==References== Category:1540 births Category:1620 deaths Category:17th-century Norwegian people 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Johannes Lauritsson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
