He became a knight in 1316 and was given the title of royal seat in 1323 and the authority to rule the country with royal authority and with the consent of the Council of Ministers under Magnus Eriksson's minor. Erling was ruled for nine years, until 1332, when King Magnus himself took over, and served as chancellor from 1324 to 1327.

The Nordic Family Book from 1876 says about Jon Arnesson

lendemann / lendmann These terms were used in medieval times (11th - 13th century) and were titles denoting nobility. The 'lend (er) man' was receiving taxes from the king's landed properties and was often used as an advisor by the king. He ranked after duke and earl.

When Olof returned to Norway, A. joined him and was badly injured at the Battle of Stiklastad. His son Jon married one daughter of Tore Hund and thereby inherited his tribal goods Bjarkö. Jon's son was the one from Magnus Barefoot's last Ireland train (1103) familiar * Knowledge Jonsson, whose son Erling among them the war belonged to Magnus Erlingsson's party. Her son Vidkunn Erlingsson remained at the age of 18 (1183) killed by Sverre's followers. With him extended the family, and Bjarkö passed through his sister Ragnas marriage to the lawyer in Hålogaland Bjarne Mardsson. From them came "the younger Bjarkö family ", who later also inherited Giske.

Nordisk Familjebok fra 1876 sier om Jon:

2) Bjarkö-ätten. Arne Arnesson var liksom brödren Torberg en trofast anhängare till Olof den helige, oaktadt också han var gift med en dotter till Erling Skjalgsson. Då Olof återkom till Norge, slöt sig A. till honom och blef svårt sårad i slaget vid Stiklastad. Hans son Jon äktade en dotter till Tore Hund och ärfde derigenom dennes stamgods Bjarkö. Jons son var den från Magnus Barfots sista Irlandståg (1103) bekante *Vidkunn Jonsson*, hvilkens son Erling under de inbördes krigen tillhörde Magnus Erlingssons parti. Dennes son Vidkunn Erlingsson blef vid 18 års ålder (1183) dödad af Sverres anhängare. Med honom utdog ätten, och Bjarkö gick genom hans syster Ragnas giftermål öfver till lagmannen i Hålogaland Bjarne Mardsson. Från dem härstammade "den yngre Bjarkö-ätten", som sedermera äfven ärfde Giske.

Ætteledd: 27
