Unverified lines
Highly questionable connections, please read Lars Løberg's article about Norwegian Kings
The connection to the Smjor family is even less plausible.
The author claims the well known nobleman Gaute
Ivarsson to be a great–grandson of Jon Halvardson Smjor
in direct male line. The last male member of the Smjor
(or Smør) family most likely died in 1484, and the
handling of the estate of Magdalena Olufsdtr from 1547
to 1557 proves that the only living descendants of Jon
Halvardson Smjor at that time was a cognatic line
represented by Trond Benchestoch and an illegitimate
line by Christin, the wife of Erich Ormsøn. Gaute
Ivarsson and his many children are never mentioned in
this connection. In fact, the only thing we know about the
ancestors of Gaute Ivarsson is that his mothers name was
Herborg Torbjørnsdtr. His father is unknown, and,
whoever he was, he could not possibly have been a
grandchild of Jon Halvardson Smjor.
