Jarlsberg

Jarlsberg was a former countship that forms a part of today's Vestfold county in Norway.

[2] The countship was abolished in 1893 in accordance with Norway's nobility law, but the manor is still in its own family.

[3] The creation involved that Count Griffenfeld, in addition to owning 14 percent of the countship's land, received large tax revenues and also the right to appoint all civil and ecclesiastical officials, including officers and judges, who would serve within the countship.

Gyldenløve, an illegitimate son of King Frederick III of Denmark, was the Viceroy (Statholder) of Norway.

[5] In 1683, Ulrik Fredrik Gyldenløve sold Tøsnberg countship to Gustav Frederik Wilhelm Wedel.
