  === Life Sketch ===
  Finn Arnesson (1004-1062) was a Viking caudillo and Scandinavian royal adviser to Olaf II the Holy and Harald III of Norway and later Svend II of Denmark. Feudal lord ( lendmann ) of Austrått, and jarl of Halland.
  
  Finn was one of the eight children (seven brothers and one sister) of the lendmann Arne Arnmodsson and his wife Tora Torsteinsdatter (daughter of Thorstein Galge ). Finn married the niece of King Harald, Bergljot Halfdansdóttir, daughter of Halfdan Sigurdsson ( Halfdan Hadafylke ) and sister of Sigurd Syr.
  
  Finn appears as a character in the Heimskringla saga of Icelandic Scallop Snorri Sturluson, as well as his brothers Arni, Torberg and Kalv Arnesson. Snorri dedicates an episode where Finn energetically defends King Olaf against Thorir Hund of Hålogaland.
  
  In 1028, Finn and his brothers Arni and Torberg with the Jarl of the Orkneys, Rögnvald Brusason accompanied Olaf Haraldsson into exile in Kievan Rus. They returned with King Olaf, fighting in the battle of Stiklestad in 1030, where King Olaf died.
  
  Under the rule of King Harald III, Finn maintained the hacienda and lands in Austrått near Ørland in Trøndelag. In 1051, his brother, Kalv, died in battle serving King Harald on the island of Funen. Finn had the conviction that King Harald had purposely killed Kalv and rebelled against the crown. He went to Denmark and placed himself in the service of King Svend II, who named him Jarl and assigned him the government of Halland.
  
  In 1062, Finn fought in the battle of Niså ( Slaget ved Niså ) armed conflict between King Svend and King Harald, on the Halland coast. Harald won the contest and King Svend escaped. Finn refused to escape and was captured. King Harald spared his life and left him free in Halland.
  
  Finn's daughter Ingibiorg Finnsdóttir married Thorfinn Sigurdsson, jarl of the Orkneys and after her death with Malcolm III of Scotland in second marriages. Another daughter, Sigrid Finnsdóttir, married the jarl Orm Eilivsson, grandson of Håkon Sigurdsson.

  === Fin was King Harald Hardrade's lenderman ===
  Fin was King Harald Hardrade's lenderman at Austrat in Yrjar. Fin and all of his brothers, except Kalf, were great friends of Harald. Harald came to Fin and asked him to effect a reoncilation with the bondes and Hakon Ivarson over Einar Tamberskelfer's and Eindride Einarson's murders. Fin agreed on the condition that, if he succeeded, Harald would allow Kalf to return the country and regain all of his former holdings and power. Fin was able to bring about the reconcilation by agreeing that King Magnus' daughter, Ragnhild would marry Hakon. However, Ragnhild would not marry a man who had no title and Harald would not make Hakon a jarl because he already had one. Both Hakon and Fin felt that Harald had broken his word. After a while, Hakon and Svein had a falling out. Hakon then returned to Norway. Orm was dead at this time and Harald made Hakon his jarl. Then Hakon was able to marry Ragnhild. Then Harald let Kalf Arneson come back into the country and made him his lenderman with all of his forrmer holdings and power. The following summer, Kalf was killed, by the Danish, in battle. Fin thought that Harald had deliberately put Kalf in the front of the battle, without adequate, timely, help, so that he would be killed. Fin became so angry that he left Norway and went to Denmark where he entered into King Svein's service. Svein made Fin the Jarl of Halland. Fin fought with Svein at the Battle of Nis River. He was captured, but Harald spared his life and let him go. Levde på Harald Hardrådes tid og var bror til Kalv Arnesson.

  BIOGRAPHY: According to the medieval historian, Snorri Sturluson, Finnlived for a time at Austratt in the district of Yrjar in western Norway.He had been on several viking expeditions. He was a well-liked steward ofKing Harald Sigurtharson in Norway. The king had Finn intercede for himand make reconciliation with his enemies who were angered about someslayings. In one reconciliation attempt, an enemy by the name of Hkonagreed to be reconciled to the king if he was given Ragnhild, a relativeof the king, in marriage. The king agreed, but said, "Neither you nor anyelse will find it advisable to obtain Ragnhild in marriage unless it bewith her own consent." Ragnhild did not want to marry a man who was notof princely rank. The king would have granted the title of earl to Hkon,but there was a long-standing practice of having just one earl at a time,and he did not want to take the title away from the current Earl Orm.(Later after Earl Orm died, Hkon was given the title and Ragnhild marriedhim.) Some other events and the death of Finn's brother caused Finn to beso angered at the king that he left Norway. He joined with King Svein inDenmark, and was given the title of earl and ruled the province ofHalland, where he was in charge of defense against the Norwegians.

  === Finn Arnesson was a nobleman and advisor ===
  Finn Arnesson was a nobleman and advisor to Olaf Haraldsson (later Saint Olaf), King of Norway, and to Olaf's half-brother Harald Sigurdsson (Harald Hardraade). He later served Sweyn Estridsson, King of Denmark, who made him a jarl. The main source for Finn's life is Snorri Sturlusson's Heimskringla.
  
  Finn was one of the eight children, seven brothers and a sister of Arni Armothsson, "a landed-man, powerful and prominent," and his wife Thora. Finn and his brothers Kalf, Arni and Thorberg appear in the Sagas. Kalf governed Trøndelag under Olaf Haraldsson.
  
  In 1028 Finn and his brother Arni and Thorberg and Rognvald Brusason went with Olaf Haraldsson into exile in Kievan Rus. They returned with him, fighting at Stiklestad in 1030, where Olaf was killed; Kalf Arnesson was one of the leaders of the opposing army.
  
  Under Harald Hardraade, Finn was a landowner in Austrått near Ørland in Trøndelag. He was married to Harald's niece Bergljot Halvdansdottir. His brother Kalf was killed in battle against King Harald on Funen and this turned Finn against Harald. He left Norway to serve Sweyn Estridsson, who made him a jarl and appointed him to rule Halland.
  
  Finn fought in the battle of Nissan between King Sweyn and King Harald. Harald was victorius and Finn, who refused to flee, was captured.
  
  Finn's daughter Ingibiorg married Thorfinn Sigurdsson, Earl of Orkney and Máel Coluim mac Donnchada, King of Scots.
  Another daughter, Sigrid, married the earl Orm Eilivsson, daughter-son of Haakon Sigurdsson.
