Tre Rosor
The Tre Rosor family was a Swedish nobility who died out in the male line at the beginning of the 17th century. The name "Tre Rosor" was later given to him by the genealogists after his coat of arms. The Swedish tribe had three slanted roses on a yellow background. Jon Liten von Myrby (mentioned in 1299) is considered to be the progenitor of the family. His great-grandson, Knut Jönsson, Lagmann in Västergötland, was married to Agnes Alvsdatter († around 1449), who was the heir to the property in Giske, Sudrheim and Bjarkö. Their sons were Jöns Knutsson († before 1498) and the Norwegian Councilor Alv Knutsson (1432–1497) from Giske, Sudrheim, Bjarkö, Tjøtta and Finne. He changed the coat of arms. Jöns Knutsson was the father of the Swedish Imperial Court Master Ture Jönsson and the grandfather of the Swedish Imperial Councilor Johan Turesson (1490–1556). From him comes the Swedish family of Barons Rosenhane and a branch that provided the Counts of Bogesund from 1562 (died out in 1615).
Alv Knutsson was the father of the Norwegian Imperial Council Knut Alvsson (around 1455–1502) and Karine Alvsdotter († 1536) to Grefsheim. After lengthy trials, the Norwegian goods were awarded to her. She left this to the granddaughter of her brother Görvel Fadersdotter Sparre (1509–1605). Their only son died before his mother, and in 1594 she transferred her property to the Crown.
There was also a second family “Tre Rosor” in Sweden, namely the family Tre Rosor zu Horshaga, which died out with Bishop Bengt Gustafsson in Skara. According to Bratberg, it is uncertain whether there is a connection between the two sexes.
coat of arms
The Swedish coat of arms shows three diagonally arranged red roses in the golden shield. The Norwegian coat of arms is diagonally divided by blue and silver. On the dividing line are the three red roses.
