Nils Henriksson

Nils Henriksson (or Niels Henrikssøn, circa 1455–1523) was a Norwegian knight, landowner, National Counselor and Lord High Steward of Norway who married Ingerd Ottesdatter (fru Inger til Austrått).

He was the son of National Counselor Henrik Jensson (ca 1415–1477) and Elin Nilsdatter (or Nikolasdatter), and through the marriage with Ingerd he consolidated his possession of the Austrått estates.

He was one of Norway's largest landowners, with properties in Bergen, Vardøhus, Hålogaland, Fosen, Frosta, Stjørdal, Sunnmøre, Romsdal, Edøy, Selbu, and Herjedalen.

Prior to his marriage with Ingerd, he had a son Henrik Nielssøn (1500–1567), who was a magistrate and ecclesiastical cannon.

The latest members of the family used the name Gyldenløve, based on his arms: a golden lion on a checkered field.
