Notities over Erengisle Sunesson of ORKNEY

Erengisle Sunesson of Hultboda, earl of Orkney (died 26 December 1392) was an important Swedish magnate in the 14th century. In his later life, he was known as Jarl Erengisle in Sweden. He was knight, high councillor and titular earl.

He was born in a noble family later called Bååt (Old Swedish for boat) originally from Småland, as son of Sune Jonsson, the lawspeaker of Tiohärad, and his first wife Cathrine Henriksdatter Glysing. Erengisle's father Sune and uncle Peter had in 1320 obtained the effectively hereditary position of chatelain of Viipuri castle in easternmost coast of Finland by purchasing it from the governor set there by the deposed king Birger of Sweden. Peter and Sune recognized the new king, Magnus IV of Sweden, and received important privileges, which effectively turned their holding of Viipuri as an independent feudal fief, the start of a veritable margraviate.

Erengisle possessed immense wealth in several provinces of Sweden. In Viipuri province, his patrimony included Kymenkartano manor, on which spot the later town of Kotka became erected. His chief seat was the medieval castle of Hultaboda (now Hultaby) in Näsby outside of Vetlanda. Also Flishult manor in the same district belonged to him.

He was usually a supporter of his king, Magnus VII of Norway and Sweden, although in some instances he was in alliance with king's rivals. The king's Norwegian tasks for him led to his marriage with an unnamed daughter (possibly Agnes) of Maol Íosa, Earl of Orkney, Caithness and Strathearn. Because Maol Íosa did not have sons, families of his daughters divided or competed over his inheritance. Erengisle became the earl of Orkney, although there is little evidence that he ever treated it as anything other than a high title, bringing him prestige over the then titleless Scandinavian nobility, or that he ever stayed in the earldom.

In 1357 earl Erengisle was among magnates who proclaimed Eric, the eldest son of king Magnus, as king in place of the father. He then led negotiations which resulted in reconciliation between father and son and them sharing the kingship.

In 1379, when his Strathearn wife already was (long) deceased, king Haakon VI of Norway granted the earldom of Orkney to Maol Iosa's (youngest) grandson, Henry Sinclair, Earl of Orkney. The widowed earl Erengisle however continued to use the title until his death (as evidenced by e.g. his appellation in the text of his last will and testament).

Death and will
Erengisle died childless, "at a great age". Buried in Vadstena monastery church.

His last wife, Countess Ingeborg had several children from her first marriage with lord Bengt Turesson of the family of Kraakerum.

Marriages:
Margareta
Agnes (Annot), daughter of Maol Íosa, Earl of Strathearn and Orkney
before 1377 with Ingeborg Magnusdotter of Loholm, close relative of royals (and niece of St.Bridget of Sweden)

Coat of arms
Erengisle's family's hereditary shield depicted a boat. He thus belonged to the extensive clan of the Bonde. Well-known Bonde magnates, such as High Constable Tord and king Charles VIII, appear to have regarded Erengisle's family as their kinsmen. He belonged to the Haak-Bååt branch of the Bonde clan (the byname Haak was even used of his well-known uncle), mentioned as agnates of the Bonde. Erengisle's close kinsman was also bishop Charles of Linköping, but we do not know how exactly they were related. Also knight Erengisle Jonson 'the younger' (flourished 1335), was their kinsman.

His crest depicts, like those of families Bååt and Bonde, a boat.
