until Valdamar's death, in 1375. Haakon chose Alexander de l'Ard, a son-in-law of Maol Iosa, but he proved a disappointment, and was ejected after a few months. In 1379 Haakon granted the jarldom to Maol Iosa's (youngest) grandson, Henry Sinclair. Nevertheless, Erengisle continued to use the title of jarl of Orkney until his own 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", many years later. He was 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. Erengisle's own nephews and nieces (and sisters) were already dead, without further issue, the last of them, Christina Ulvsdotter of Rickeby, having died in c 1389. His paternal family had only first cousins to continue the line (the Trolle, the Pipa, the Hammersta and the Snakenborg of Flishult presumably were lineages descending from such cousins). His possessions were divided by his last will and testament, the church receiving much. Marriages: Margareta Agnes (Annot), daughter of Maol Íosa, Earl of Strathearn and Jarl of 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 it is not known 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. References 14th-century Finnish people Norwegian earls Earls of Orkney 1392 deaths Year of birth unknown
