 | | Although the LOSNA family is assumed to be much older, Erlend is the first member whose first name is documented, and according to normal practice in the country at this time, no common family name was used. |
 | | Although the name of LOSNA originally was the name of a rather small island, it became descriptive of major properties belonging to the family, and located various parts of Norway, including large belongings in Bergen and surroundings, and in the county of Troms in the arctic part of Norway. |
 | | Members of the LOSNA family were also appointed judges in the High Court, or, military commanders in charge of castles and garrisons responsible for the defence of major cities such as Oslo, Bergen, or Tonsberg. |
