Biography

The Fånö family, conventional designation for one of the leading Swedish aristocratic families of the early Middle Ages, whose main members in all four known generations signed up to the manor of Fånö in Löt (Upps). Its oldest known ancestor, Karl Tjälvesson (lived 1274), married into Aspenäsätten (see vol. 2), whose coat of arms, the so-called lion eagle, was later carried by members of F.

Because Karl Tjälvesson's wife was the granddaughter of earl Birger brosa's son Knut earl (cf. above p. 261), the son Jon Karlsson (d 1280) came to be counted among the so-called folk children. According to the Chronicle of Erik, he rebelled against Magnus's barntogether with his uncle Jon Filipsson (Aspenäsätten), his sister's husband Filip Finvidsson (Rumbyätten) and Anund Tunesson (Vingätten). About the course of the rebellion, the chronicle reports that they killed the king's Danish confidant Ingemar at Skara and captured Queen Helvig's father, Count Gerhard of Holstein. This rebellion, in which according to Ericus Olai the deposed king Valdemar was also involved, is dated in several annals to 1278. One annal combines the notice of Count Gerhard's capture with an information that Jon Filipsson besieged Jönköping. In several letters from 1279, Jon Filipsson ooh appears in a romance between Jon Karlsson and King Magnus, which is considered to indicate that a settlement was concluded. According to the Chronicle of Erik, which mentions a "day thing" but does not provide any chronological information, however, the king later had the rebel leaders imprisoned during negotiations at Gälakvist near Skara and brought to Sthlm, where Jon Karlsson and Jon Filipsson were beheaded in a tower at Norrbro. The executions are also briefly mentioned in several annals, which date them to 1280, in a couple of cases specifying St. Bernhard's day (August 25 in the archdiocese, August 20 in other dioceses), and state that Jon Filipsson's brother Birger Filipsson was also executed .

In marriage to Archbishop Folke Johansson's (Angel) niece Ragnhild Erlandsdotter (Finstaätten; see above p. 51 f), Jon Karlsson became the father of Folke Jonsson (d trol 1313), who was knighted sometime between 1298–1305. According to Erikskrönikan, he was tasked with delivering the message of his imminent execution to Marshal Tyrgils Knutsson - who must have been quite close to his wife. In the marshal's will on 9 February 1306, Folke Jonsson is mentioned as a seal witness along with King Birger's bailiff at Sthlm, Kristiern from Öland. Both of these were among the four laymen who, along with four bishops, were appointed by Tyrgils Knutsson as executors of his will. Then the dukes Erikand Valdemar in the autumn imprisoned the king at the so-called Håtunaleken, Folke Jonsson received from them goods, which had been confiscated from the executed marshal and from the aforementioned Kristiern, one of the king's most faithful followers. The following year he is mentioned among the dukes' knights in the treaty of Morup with the Danish duke Kristofer, and in a letter in 1308 he appears in a list of duke Erik's advice, but the authenticity of the latter letter has been doubted on good grounds. Even this year, however, Folke Jonsson sealed several letters to Duke Erik, but in 1310 King Birger donated a farm to him, and so he appears among the guarantors for his loan from the Danish king and among the Swedish king's pledges during the settlement with the dukes. In 1312 he belonged to his council.

F married one of Folke Jonsson's sons, Upsala canon Jon Folkesson (d 1335 or 1336). This was inherited by maternal cousins, one of whom was married to the Söderman national team player Lars Ulfsson (Ama). Individual letters from Folke Jonsson's archive were thereby inherited by Lars Ulfsson's descendants of the Trolle family and are now known in a 17th-century copy in his descendant Lars Sparre's copybook B 15, RA.
