Stedet Fjeldskaar

Fjeldskår, Lindesnes

The first part of the name Fjeldskår is mountain. The last part is not that easy, as it can be both shards or shoes. The spelling has changed a great deal over time. In 1510 it was Fielskord, 1594 Fielskor, 1612 Fjellskor, 1619 Fieldschaar, 1668 Fielschår. The Fjeldskaar farm is old, but no one knows how old.

De første skriftlige kilder om Fjellskår (med alternative skrivemåter) er fra 1510. (Ingenting tyder foreløpig på at de involverte personer nedenfor er i vår slekt):

Gwdlogh Anundzsson accidentially killed Anund Torkilsson in a feast on Fjellskaar in Spangereid.

Ewind Olaffson sworn 3/6-1510 his friend Anund Torkilssons words to him before he died, that it was Gudlaug Anundsson who had inflicted Anund injuries and engage in feasting on Fjellskaar in Spangereid. Henrik Krwmmadickes fogd Svein Knutsson give message 3/6-1510 to king Christian II of the circumstances surrounding a murder on Fjellskaar in Spangereid

Thorral Gwnwlsson testified 3/6-1510 that he came to Anund Torkilsson the same day that Anund died after the injuries Gudlaug Anundsson had inflicted on him in the feast on Fjellskaar in Spangereid. This letter shows that Torllffue Gundersenn get 3/9-1510 letter from king Christian II of that he, his wife, children, servants and the goods must be under royal protection (DN II no. 1035, Spangereid cemetery).

Jens Henriksson, priest in Odnedal, listed as no. 1 of the three "beskjedelige menn" in the letter of the 16/5-1507. The letter discusses a jordegave of Valand in Konsmo parish in Foss, which is given by one half each to the Valle church and rectory. Mr. Jens was among those who sign the letter (DN XII no. 272, Valle, in Sør-Audnedal, no seal preserved). Mr. Jens must also be identified as the honorable one here (Lares) Henricksson priest in Øndal, 3/6-1510 are asked to put their signature below a letter that dealt with a slew of Fjellskår in Spangereid (DN II no. 1045, Spangereid cemetery).

Another feast (wedding on the Hille in Hasle):

knwdh (not specified) bottled beer in a double wedding on Hille in Halse, then the host Håkon accused him of spilling the beer on the floor. Knut was so offended that he wanted to leave together with Gro Torsteinsdotter and some other. It all evolved, however, to bickering and fighting between the host Håkon and several guests. This led accidentially to Gro Torsteinsdotter was stabbed and killed by Håkon when she tried to separate Håkon and his brother; Bjermod (Torsteinsson), from fighting (DN XXI no. 843, Spangereid). It may, according to context seem as though the Knut and Gro were closely related to each other, then Gro would go home together with Knut. They can then either have been married or closely related.
