27TH GENERATION


133459698. Sigurd* Bonde på AGA (766)(915) (954)(767) was born about 1160 in Aga gård #64, Ullensvang, Hordaland, Norway. He died before 1230 in Aga gård #64, Ullensvang, Hordaland, Norway. Sigurd Bonde was mentioned in a document issued sometime between 1220 and 1230 concerning the transfer of property between the church and Sigurd's son-in-law, Peder unge Sandvin. Sigurd must have been a powerful nobleman since his grandson was a riksråd (royal councillor) and lagmann (lawman) for western Norway. Aga, at this time, was a huge estate, so Sigurd must have been quite wealthy. There is a possibility that Sigurd was descended from the Aurland family and the Danish princess, Ingrid Sveinsdatter. Sigurd may also have been the son-in-law of the lendermann Jon Gautsson Ænes, but there is no direct proof of this. Children were:

child ii. Brynjulv på AGA(767) was born about 1200 in Aga gård #64, Ullensvang, Hordaland, Norway. He died after 1250 in Aga gård #64, Ullensvang, Hordaland, Norway. Brynjulv lived at Aga in the 1200 and was very probably descended from the high nobility. His son was a lagmann and riksråd. Brynjulv could have been the grandson of Brynjulv Kalvsson from the Faroe Islands, who was mentioned in King Sverre's Saga. The other possibility is that he was the son of Sigurd Bonde, who was named at Aga.
