 | | Giske was inherited by Bjarne's nephew, Erling Vidkunsson, who was married by Elin Toresdatter, daughter of baron Tore Håkonsson. |
 | | She took possession of the estate, taking the law in her own hand, and against the interest of the rightful heirs, the aunt and niece of the last owner, Karl Knutson, who had been awarded with the estate in 1515 for his faithful service to the king in 1515, but died in battle in 1520. |
 | | She remained in Skåne until her death in 1605, but already in 1582 she had given Giske and all her other estates in Norway to the king, and was richly compensated - among other with all the income of the estate of the Convent of Børringe in her own lifetime. |
