• attestation: At a Thing in Ranrike, the bonde Brynjolf Ulfalde declared the historical boundaries: the Gaut river from the Vener lake to the sea, and forests to Finmark.

  "the Gaut river divided their lands between the Vener lake and the sea; but towards the north the forests until Eid forest, and from thence the ridge of the country all north to Finmark"

• attestation: Brynjolf expressed that many wished to serve the Norwegian king but feared Swedish reprisal from surrounding territory.

  "I know that it is the inclination of many rather to serve the king of Norway, but they dare not; for the Swedish king's dominions surround us, both eastward, southwards, and also up the country"
