Erik Knutsen Svendsrud

From Eyolf Knutsen (de)'s notes: I Ringebu we can find n vre and Lower Romssa that grdsbruk that is mentioned in written sources from long time back. Friday the store svartedauden assume that there was a use, but the earliest sharing happened Friday r 1350 N is a number use: vre and Lower Romssa, Framigard, Oppi Gard and Sygard, Sigard Nistuen and Nordigard Nistuen. Engebregt Haugen has written a book about Romssa and family, believe that there is n thing to be noted. The people on Romssa-grdene has always been freeholders, but Nistuen. The user-owned non grden full at any time - ssken relatives could have parties. They may have a leasehold "Enge deletions" church goods, but the lease rdde the self, and it argues Haugen is a srsyn in the old times when only every third man was the owner himself.

One notes also that "the old time was odelsbnder much more vyrde and was considered for many steps gjevare than usual Leiglendingar." Grden is broken up and built several hundred s Friday the Viking Age, [troligvis] not long after Christ fdsel. The lrde is not agreed on what the name comes from. The earliest part may be that Romsdal, Romerike, ie Rauma. Or it may come of the old Norwegian Hraun which means stoned reason. The notation has changed somewhat in the old skattelister. In 1582, there were Renynsfoss and Ramfoss. In 1557, we find that Tostenn Romssa paid sakefallsbter 1 u valleys "of the hand struck Siuord Sten Gard Mott than hammer", he also paid a cow. But at the same time mtte Sjugurd Steinsgrd BtE 3 valleys "of the hand stach Tostein Romsaas with kniff." Wait was this at the same time as "Simen Odlo hit than dreng the blood and hoffuedet and BRD hit Haagen Lunde Lunde 2 xehammerslag." There have been m et Srdela refreshing slagsml. Next Elder snnen to Knud Ivarsson Svensrud came to Sygard Romssa. His name was Erik, was fdt dde in 1633 and in 1728, 95 years old. He was married in 1672 with Marit Peder Daughter, which is believed to have been farm girl p Sygrden and the daughter of Peder Arneson from Brandrud. Erik owned both Sygard and Framigard. After him, took fourth snnen Knud. Erik and his Marit had seven children.
