Inga Gregersdotter (Malstaätten) inherits 14 öresland in Morberga, Bälinge sn, from her parents, Gregers Johansson and hh, ? a sister of Gustav Birgersson (Sparre of Hjulsta and Ängsö). Inga is married to Guttorm Toresson (split shield). In 1376, Inga's daughter Katarina Guttormsdotter, married to Knut Halstensson (half lily), inherits these 14 öreslands in Morberga. In 1464, Katarina Karlsdotter (Sture II) institutes a prebend after her husband Nils Jönsson (Oxenstierna) and donates, among other things, Morberga, reported in the crown's land registers as salvation. After 1527, the land in Morberga was reclaimed by Görvel Fadersdotter, who is Katarina Karlsdotter's granddaughter's daughter. According to DMS, the land in Morberga consists of 1 sk, 1:6 and 1 fr, 1566, 1 kr, 1:6, (1562 Görvel Fadersdotter /Sparre av Hjulsta och Ängsö/) and total jt is 3 markland and 4 öresland. Is the land that Görvel reclaims the same that Inga Gregersdotter and later her daughter, Katarina Guttormsdotter, inherited or is it the tax land that they received - both lots are worth the same, 1:6 or 14 öresland? Katarina Guttormsdotter's cousin the knight Kettil Johansson (Malstaätten) is married to Kristina Finvidsdotter (Frössviksätten) and her sister Märta is married to Jöns Bengtsson (Oxenstierna), father-in-law of Katarina Karlsdotter, who donated land in Morberga in 1464. Her daughter was married to Nils Fadersson ( Sparre of Hjulsta and Ängsö). On the other hand, Katarina Guttormsdotter's husband, Knut Halstensson, was a nephew, who was married to Ulf Bengtsson (Sparre av Hjulsta och Ängsö). This Ulf was the grandfather of Nils Fadersson, who in turn was the grandfather of Görvel Fadersdotter. Ulf Bengtsson is also the grandson of Katarina Guttormsdotter's grandfather, Gregers Johansson, father-in-law Birger. This is familiar to me but who actually owned what, tax land or salvation?

Hammerstaätten, by Wikipedia

The Hammerstaätten was a Sörmland high-salvation family named after their seat of Hammersta on Södertörn.

Coat of Arms: The family is also called "split shield" or "Night and Day lengthwise" because their coat of arms consisting of two fields is split lengthwise as opposed to the shield of the Night and Day family which is split lengthwise. The shield is depicted together with Erengisle Nilsson dying at the so-called " lucky wheel " in Ösmo church .

History

The Hammersta family can be traced as owners of Hammersta from 1426.

As the progenitor of the family at Hammersta, the Riksdag Ingevald Estridsson (named 1308–22) is counted. In 1308, he was bailiff to Dukes Erik and Valdemar at Stockholm Castle and held the post as late as 1317. The family's earliest known seat farm was Sundboholm in Bälinge parish and Rönö härad , which was owned by the son Magnus Ingevaldssons.

Erengisle Nilsson d.ä. and his son Algot Erengislesson, knight, are mentioned in a dispute with St. Birgitta 's descendant and heir:

The family formally died out on the male side in 1469 with the death of Erengisle Nilsson of Hammerstaätten, but survived in practice even after the Middle Ages through his half-brother Bo Nilsson becoming the ancestor of the younger family Grip .

Uncertainties

Cleft shield without tincture: A number of medieval persons without established family affiliation, bore a coat of arms with a split shield, where in many cases the colors of the tincture are not known, as their coats of arms are only known from seal -stamped documents. These include:

• Guttorm Toresson (split shield) married to Inga Gregersdotter ( Malstaätten ), they had a daughter Katarina Guttormsdotter, married to Knut Halstensson (half lily) ( Halsten Petersson's family ).
• Karl Nilsson (kluven sköld) , or Karl Niklisson , was a Swedish savior and knight who lived in the 14th century and who, among other * things, owned the Wad manor at Frösjön north of Gnesta in Södermanland . Son of Ingrid Jonsdotter ( Rörik Birgersson's family ) and an unknown father. [ 3 ] . Karl Nilsson was murdered in 1381 in the present Riddarholm church by Bo Jonsson (Grip) or his servant.
