Biography

[edit]

Benkestok was born around 1495 (or before 1500) inBergen tonoblemanTorleiv Trondson Benkestok and Adelus Eriksdotter Kruckow. In 1532, he actively supported Johan Kruckow, who wantedFrederick I rather than KingChristian II on theNorwegian throne. In July 1532, Christian II was captured and imprisoned. As Frederick I won the struggle, Benkestok was awarded the title ofsquire (væpner). He was probably a supporter ofRoman Catholicism until the last Catholic archbishopOlav Engelbrektsson fled Norway in 1537.[2][3][4]

Among other places, he owned a lot of land atMeløya inNordland (Meløy – gård) which he had as his main farm from no later than 1540. In 1541 he received taxes from Meløy chapel and fromSunnfjord len. He was awardedSunnmøre len, the land of Stigten in 1547, and around the same time he was also promoted to knight.[5]

In 1555 he took charge of Bergenhus Fortress and in the years 1555-56 he was commander-in-chief during the absence of commanderChristoffer Huitfeldt (c. 1500–1559).Claus Bille once described Benkestok as the "most respected and wise nobleman North of the mountains".[6]

Benkestok was married to Anna Jonsdotter Haar (ca. 1510 - 1567), with whom he had sons Tord andJon Trondson Benkestok and daughters Adelus, Kristin and Brynild. He died inVanse, Norway, 14 February 1558.[7]
