The most prominent member of the family was Aslak Harniktsson Bolt (born about 1375, died 1450) who in 1407 became bishop of Oslo, 1408 in Bergen and 1428 archbishop.

During the leave of absence after King Kristofer's death, he was the leader of the group of great men and church people who wanted an association with Sweden under Karl Knutsson.

A ceasefire would apply until October when Riksrådet (English: Council of the State) and five lay people would meet in Oslo to hear the general complaints.

Olav Eriksson Gyldernhorn and his widowed mother Gudrun Håkonsdotter Bolt may have been in financial trouble in 1490 and therefore did not object to Anders van Bergen and Bishop Herlog Vigleiksson in 1491 requesting to take over most of the property from them and their heirs through redemption.

Gudrun Olavsdatter Gyldenhorn was the daughter of Olav and married Anders Ulvsson Lindorm (1480–1544) from Tjuvkil, belonging to Bohus län's low savior.

[7] Despite this, the Bolt family's descendants Lindorm traveled from Tjuvkil until 1580, when Margareta Andersdatter Lindorm's children Ulv Ulvsson, Karen Ulfsdatter and Gro Ulfsdatter (married to Nils Pedersson), and Anna Andersdatter's children Olof Svenningsson and Arne Svenningsson sued Peder Hansson (Litle) at Akershus and his wife that Ingeborg Nilsdatter would be considered to have the right to inherit the estate Tronstad sold in 1544.
