Endrid Bookling

Endrid Bookling (c. 1180 – 1240) was a Norwegian courtier, captain, and steward loyal to Skule Bårdsson. Almost nothing is known about his background, however he was a supporter of the Bagler party which championed the nobility and the clergy. This in conjunction with his continual support of men who were irrefutably known to have noble blood (there were doubts about Haakon IV of Norway's claims; his foster-father was a shoemaker) implies it is likely that he was a nobleman. In any case he was certainly at least a rich freeman. In 1217 he was one of the messengers sent to represent the Baglers in their peace negotiations after the death of their leader Philip Simonsson. Later he payed homage to King Haakon. He was appointed as joint-steward of Gudbrandsdalen in 1218 AD. From 1222 to 1223 h
