 Coat of Arms of the Banner Family associated with Erik Eriksen Banner (1484-1554) |
These coats of arms are tied to the Danish ancestors of Iver Kanten's great-grandfather Helge Gudbrandsen Hougseie. In 1640, the King of Sweden needed military officers and offered a farm to officers of other nations willing to serve. Albert Olsen, a member of Denmark's noble Banner family, accepted the offer and received the Heggen farm in Hadeland for his service. |
