Ivar Ogmundsson Rova

• Son of Ogmund Sigurdsen HESBØ / ROVA and Eyvor / Øyvor Gautesdatter TALGJE
• Ivar Ogmundsson Son Rova In 1329 Ivar Ogmundsson received a commanding officer on Baahus and was then sworn with Knut Porse, Duchess Ingebjorg's second man, who was very ill-liked by the Norwegians.
• Birth: Ivar Ogmundsen HESBØ / ROVA was born in / in Hesbø, Finnøy, Rogaland about 1290.
• Death: He died in 1350 at / in Rova, Sauherad, Telemark.
• He was a Governor in Skien. He was the knights and national council in 1320. He was the chief of command at Båhus from 1321 to 29. Governor of Tønsberg. First mentioned in connection with the congress convention in Oslo in June 1319. He is already acting among the richest farmers and knights. From 1320 he is a member of the National Council, and in the period 1321-29 he holds position as chieftain at Båhus. From a document from 24.08.1341 we can see that Ivar and Kristina had two daughters. He was known as Hestebø Knight and Governor in Skien.
• Ivar Ogmundsson held a prominent position in the national government under King Magnus Eriksson. The relationship between Ivar and King Magnus illustrates the interdependence between royal power and aristocracy in Norway, where Ivar united a central position in politics and administration with rebellion against the king, but still retained King Magnus' favor.
• Ivar appears in the sources for the first time in 1316, already then in the king's advisory circle. He probably got the knighthood the same year. As national councilor, Ivar participated in almost all major events in Norwegian politics from 1319 until 1349. That he was chief of Båhus fortress throughout Magnus Eriksson's tenure shows his central position. Ivar co-sealed the Norwegian marriage and alliance treaty with Mecklenburg 1321, which was directed at Denmark. This may indicate that he supported Duchess Ingebjørg's aggressive Norwegian-Swedish policy towards Denmark. That Ivar, in contrast to his brother Finn, did not attend the coup meeting in 1323, is not clear in that connection. However, he must have quickly joined the big man front against Ingebjørg and her foremost supporter and later husband, Knut Porse. Ivar was in feud with Knut Porse as late as 1329.
• Ivar's role as a rebel did not prevent King Magnus from giving him key tasks. He possibly had a precedence among the councilors in parts of the 1340s and seems to have been King Magnus' favorite among Norwegian great men. Ivar was the only Norwegian to seal the agreement between Magnus Eriksson and Valdemar Atterdag in 1343, and he was one of the executors of King Magnus' and Queen Blanca's Norwegian will in 1347. He probably died during the Black Death and was buried in Gimsøy monastery.
• Mr. Ivar was the Governor of the Skiing Syslaw from 1335. He was sitting on the Dags Family's old family farm Bratsberg, which was probably his own and not good-bye. Mr. Ivar was married to Mrs Kristin Toresdtr. and had two daughters. Both married in 1341. One was Kristin and married the Swedish armed forces Nils Magnusson to Turku in Sødermannland. The other can not be other than Cecilia on Nes, first married to the hirsman Torleiv Saksabjørnson at Lindheim, and later with Vetrlide Borgarson from Hem in Sauherad. After the information one has, Nes and several farms who have gone out of Nes must have heard of Mr. Ivar and his posterity. If Nes was one of the royal farms of Harald Grendske, it is good that this farmhouse was excluded for so long.

Nes Historical Society

The farm Nes has its name after the great nest that expands in the North Sea and is now called Nesodden. Here are many farms today, but Nes is the oldest of them all. It must have been a farm at Nes all before Christ's birth, in the oldest age of farm in this country, as it is known from stories and narratives. Nes was a single farm until the Viking Age. (Approx. 800-1000 AD). The farm was divided into three, southern, middle and north Nes. In the Old Norse era, even more farms were divided from the three old Nesgarden. But in the desert after the Black Death, most of the divorced farms were added to a few farms that were claimed. These farms were Søndre og Nordre Nes, Østgården and Vestgården, Kjørkjestugu (middle nes) and Hesthag., In total 6 farms. They all had a blame of 4 TD each. grain in the 1500s and later. From ancient times, powerful generations must have been linked to Nes, which, from nature's side, is well equipped and is particularly central and strategic to the North Sea. On Nes has a more strange place name that must be from pagan times. Outside Torslund, Torslundstand and Torslunstigen you have the unique Hildshågå, the hollow of the holy hilt. This is a name as a setter associated with Eddakvadet and the mysterious eating circle Hildingane. The Hyndlujod squad tells about the origins of Hilding hætta. The king of Halvdan was a forefather of Harald Grendske, who was the grandfather of Halvdan Svarte, father of Harald Hårfagre. The sagas have a lot of ancient letters (D.N) clearly defined to the settlements around the North Sea and the nearest waterways. Heddal and Bø were the outskirts of Grenland. Harald Hårfagre gave his son Bjørn Farmann a raid over Grenland, and then his landlord there for the sake and possession. Much indicates that Nes was one of the kingdoms of the ancient rulers of Grenland. The story that Nes was a royal estate is therefore probably right. From Bjørn Farmann went madly and flew over to his son Gudrød. He got a good married name, it's called in the saga.

Secure information about the people at Nes, we will first get from the 1300s. At that time, the storm man played from Hestbø on Finnøy in Ryfylke farm. Hestbø had a strong connection with Sudreim in Rome. At Sudereim there was one who called Jon and he was the father of Ivar Rova. He had at least three sons. The eldest, Sigurd became a lendmann in Ryfylke and got the big horse farm Hestbø on Finnøy as a lion god. Through several poems, the Horsemen became known as many landlords in southern Norway and south western Norway. But the only landlord that one knows about has belonged to the actual men's line from Sigurd Ivarson., Is Prestholt and Nes in Nesherad. Ivar Ogmundson was the son of Sigurd Ivarson's son. Mr. Ivar was the Governor of the Skiing Syslaw from 1335. He was sitting on the Dags Family's old family farm Bratsberg, which was probably his own and not good-bye. Mr. Ivar was married to Mrs Kristin Toresdtr. and had two daughters. Both married in 1341. One was Kristin and married the Swedish armed forces Nils Magnusson to Turku in Sødermannland. The other can not be other than Cecilia on Nes, first married to the hirsman Torleiv Saksabjørnson at Lindheim, and later with Vetrlide Borgarson from Hem in Sauherad. After the information one has, Nes and several farms who have gone out of Nes must have heard of Mr. Ivar and his posterity. If Nes was one of the royal farms of Harald Grendske, it is good that this farmhouse was excluded for so long.

Ivar Ogmundson Rova f. Omk 1290, Occupation: Governor in Tønsberg and, G. Kristine Thorersdatter. Ivar died in 1350.

Ivar Ogmundsson Rova may have been married to Rønnaug Smidsdtr., Daughter of Smid Eriksson.

Ivar Ogmundsson Rova, by the NORWEGIAN BIOGRAPHICAL LEXICON

Royal seat, knight and councilor. Parents: Baron and marksman Ogmund Sigurdsson (died no earlier than 1311) and Øyvor Gautesdatter (mentioned 1328). No details about Ivar's marriage are known. Grandson of Gaute Erlingsson (died 1288; see NBL1, vol. 4); brother of Finn Ogmundsson (ca. 1290–1343); uncle of Ogmund Finnsson (ca. 1321–1388).

Ivar Ogmundsson held a prominent position in the national government under King Magnus Eriksson. The relationship between Ivar and King Magnus illustrates the interdependence between royal power and aristocracy in Norway, where Ivar united a central position in politics and administration with rebellion against the king, but still retained King Magnus' favor.

Ivar was the son of the baron and marksman Ogmund Sigurdsson from Hesby (Hestbø) on Finnøy in Ryfylke, one of Håkon 5's most trusted men, and the younger brother of the knight and councilor Finn Ogmundsson. There is no evidence that Hestbøætten was related to the royal family, as has been claimed. Ogmund was probably the son of the Sigurd, the son of Ivar Rova, who was among the selected crew on Håkon Håkonsson's ship during the North Sea voyage in 1263. It is not known that the younger Ivar himself used the nickname "Rova", but he is mentioned by the nickname in contemporary foreign sources.

Despite Ivar's central position, we do not know the name of his wife or children or anything exactly about his estate and financial circumstances. He had at least two daughters who were to marry in 1341, but the inheritance from his nephew Ogmund Finnsson shows that Ivar had no living children or grandchildren at Ogmund's death in 1388. A source from 1340 may indicate that Ivar had estates or other economic interests in northern western Norway. In Vestfold he leased the tenth church of Sande.

Ivar appears in the sources for the first time in 1316, already then in the king's advisory circle. He probably got the knighthood the same year. As national councilor, Ivar participated in almost all major events in Norwegian politics from 1319 until 1349. That he was chief of Båhus fortress throughout Magnus Eriksson's tenure shows his central position. Ivar co-sealed the Norwegian marriage and alliance treaty with Mecklenburg 1321, which was directed at Denmark. This may indicate that he supported Duchess Ingebjørg's aggressive Norwegian-Swedish policy towards Denmark. That Ivar, in contrast to his brother Finn, did not attend the coup meeting in 1323, is not clear in that connection. However, he must have quickly joined the big man front against Ingebjørg and her foremost supporter and later husband, Knut Porse. Ivar was in feud with Knut Porse as late as 1329.

Ivar's position within the circle of great men was not weakened by a good relationship with King Magnus. Ivar followed the papal collector Pierre Gervais when he sailed from Bergen to Båhuslen in the autumn of 1333, and he was royal seat when the king was in Flanders to arrange marriage in 1334. He had Skiensysla in 1336 and apparently until his death.

Ivar can be connected to meetings between Norwegian great men in 1338, where it i.a. was about sending men to the king on behalf of everyone, and together with Sigurd Havtoresson he led the revolt against the king 1338-39. The rebels had a strong military position, and relations between King Magnus and the great men improved after the uprising, especially when Håkon 6 Magnusson was hailed as Norwegian king 1343–44.

Ivar's role as a rebel did not prevent King Magnus from giving him key tasks. He possibly had a precedence among the councilors in parts of the 1340s and seems to have been King Magnus' favorite among Norwegian great men. Ivar was the only Norwegian to seal the agreement between Magnus Eriksson and Valdemar Atterdag in 1343, and he was one of the executors of King Magnus' and Queen Blanca's Norwegian will in 1347. He probably died during the Black Death and was buried in Gimsøy monastery.

Ivar Rova døde uten levende etterkommere, og arven hans gikk til brorsønnen Ogmund Finnson.

I 1329 var Ivar Ogmundssøn befalingsmand paa Baahus og laa da i feide med Knut Porse, hertuginde Ingebjørgs anden mand, der var meget ilde likt av nordmændene.

1334 var han drotsete hos den unge kong Magnus Erikssøn, en værdighet, som han alt nedlagde aaret efter og blev befalingsmand paa Tønsberghus. Senere var han igjen befalingsmand paa Baahus. Hans ombudsmand Jon Baardssøn løslot 12 /3 1336 “Torleiv or fangelsen, idet Solve à Limini (i Gjerpen) borgade for han” (Dipl. II, 217). En anden av hans ombudsmænd, Bjørgulv Aastessøn paa Mærden (Mæla i Gjerpen), indberettet 7 /8 1337 Helge Geirmundssøns drap til kong Magnus (Dipl. I, 245). Løslatelsen av Torleiv fandt sted paa Bratsberg. 15/7 1347 var Ivar Ogmundssøn med og undertegnet kong Magnus's og dronning Blankas testamente. Ivar Ogmundssøn døde i den store mandedød omkring 1350. Hans brorsøn, den senere drotsete Ogmund Finnsson, gav Gimsø kloster gaarden Prestholt i Nes for hans sjæl og vel ogsaa for hans grav i klostret. Hans enke Ronnaug Smidsdatter gav sig samtidig ind i klosteret som proventkone eller lægsøster. Hun gav da klostret 2 gaarder, som hun eiet i Skedjovs sogn i Viken, likesom hun i sit testamente skjænket det 5 gaarder paa Stangenes sammesteds og 2 paa Vestfold. Tidligere, men efterat den store pest var begyndt, hadde hun git 4 gaarder til Bragaseters kirke i Viken. Hun maa altsaa ha været en baade from og formuende frue. Hvis her ikke er nogen sammenblanding, var Ivar Ogmundssøn ogsaa lagmand 17 /3 1349.

Iver Ogmundsen Rova.

Omtales første gang i forbindelse med avtalen om kongevalget i Oslo i juni 1319. Han opptrer allerede da blant de rikeste landmenn og riddere. Fra 1320 sitter han som medlem av Riksrådet, og i perioden 1321-29 innehar han stillingen som høvedsmann på Båhus. Av et dokument fra 24.08.1341 kan vi se at Ivar og Kristina hadde to døtre, men fordi brorsønnen Ogmund Finnson arvet Ivar må vi konkludere med at han ved sin død ikke hadde levende etterkommere.
Ivar var kjent som Hestebø-ridder og sysselmann i Skien.
