H: Bonde (farmer) in Kluxåsen, Näs, Jämtland (Z), and lagrättsman
(lawman). Laurens Sveinsson is the oldest known progenitor for the priest
family Blix in Jämtland, which was one of the wealthiest families in central
and northern Sweden (Norrland) during the following centuries. Laurens
Sveinsson purchased Hovdsjö from Sigurd Sigurdsson Ryss, who was
tremänning (syssling) to Laurens wife Margit Johansdotter. “The oldest
known member of the Blix family is Magnus Blixe, mentioned in 1410.
Laurens Sveinsson, born around 1435 and dead around 1516, was son of
Svein in Toresås, who is probably identital to Sven in Östnår, Hackås. It is
possible that Svein (Laurensson) in Toresås (Östnår) is son of Laurens
Jonsson Blix, brother of Magnus Blix. The name of Laurens wife is not
known. This Laurens Sveinsson belonged to a very well-reputed family in
Jämtland och belonged to den jämtländska knapeadel (nobility). Laurens
lived on his farm Kloxåsen for fifty years and was one of the largest
skinnexportörerna (fur exporters) in Jämtland and owner of several farms in
the county” (S: Sven Schylberg). Laurens bought 1514-08-09 the estate Berge
in Lockne socken for 100 mark silver. Laurens Svensson married Margit
(Margareta), the maternal ancestress or progenitor (stammoder) of the Blix
family and one of two daughters of Johan Sigurdsson, who got half of her
father’s jordagods (land properties), who was still alive, and half of his
capital as a wedding gift in 1465, and, according to gåvobrevet (the gift
letter), she had received 30 jämtska mark “i hemanfylghe” or hemgift (dowry)
at the her wedding (S: DN III 870, DN XIV 234 [1532]; Hasselberg, 1930,
Jämten, p.87, Ahnlund, p.496). It has been suggested that among the more
well-known contemporary descendants we find the actor Ingmar Bergman
and the former UN weapons inspector Hans Blix (S: Nordenstam, 2003).
