About Gotskalk Johannesson Skjold
Skåneviksoga by Anders Haugland b. 2. Gardar og ætter i Åkra p 329 8
'translated from Etne-soga by Ståle Dyrvik, vol II Bygde- og gardssoge 1660-1800 - Land Register No. 61, Skjold P 419 item 4
He [Gotskalk Johannesson] got a deed on the farm [Skjold] in 1718. Sjur Jonsson wanted to acquire one eighteenth part by alodial (freehold) right, but he never had the money for it. This was not the case with Gotskalk who, in 1733, bought half of Grindheim church with land for 30 ridlr; in 1743 he purchased the rest (p. 153 and 132). In the spring of 1743, during a drinking bout at Norheim, he was scolded a thief by Tolleiv Lauareid and we learn that this referred to a certain deal made at Ryfylke. In the following winter Gotskalk was ill. The new year started with tremendous precipitation and floods and landslides engulfed the farm. Gotskalk did not get up anymore. He died in February 1744. The estate was settled on 6/10/1744. Assets amounted to 456 rdlr., and the estate had no debts. The estate included among other things an eight-oar boat and a boathouse near the lake (at Kyrping?) and a four (or six)-oared boat in the water. A tenant farmer's house stood on a meadow at Skjold. The herd consisted of 16 cows, 5 oxen, 14 calves and heifers, 31 sheep, 32 goats, 10 pigs and 4 horses. As far as we can see this was the winter herd. Seed grain is not mentioned.
