Summary
| Description |
Gyldenløve (English, "Golden Lion") is an important surname in Danish and Norwegian history, of a medieval Norwegian family. The first Gyldenløve were a family of Norwegian high nobility in the end of Middle Ages, actually not using a surname, but having the golden lion (varying: red lion) depicted in their escutcheon. A century later Gyldenløve became a name given to illegitimate, but recognized, children of the Danish royal family. So-called Nils Henrikssons slekt, based on its escutcheon figure, has later been given that surname in genealogy and historiography, although only the last female members of the family ever at most used that as surname. The lion figure is believed to have signified their descent from the royal dynasty. The family's most prominent member was Nils Henriksson (died 1523), Lord High Steward of Norway, who was married with the famed lady Inger Ottesdottir Rømer, heiress of Austraat. The couple had only surviving daughters. All other agnatic lines of the old family are presumed extinct already before them. The last male was Nils' bastard's son Henrik Nilsson Gyldenløve. His daughter was the last in the family to use the name Gyldenløve. |
