  Notes	Sulenøy is a large island in the Sognefjord that was the seat for a noble family that came back to Norway from Scotland. Their descendants are found in Hardanger, Hordaland, and Valdres. The farms Bø in Øye and Semelenge in Vestre Slidre belonged to them. From 1424 the descendants lived at Semelenge. Filippus' father was a knight at the court of Erik Priest Hater. Filippus lived at Audnestad and his named in 1322 and 1338. The ancestors of Filippus Erlandson received Odinsland at Høyanger from King Sverre Sigurdson as thanks for their help in the battle of Fimreite, 15 Jun 1184, when King Sigurd beat the Baglerne. This battle was the final settlement between Sverre Sigurdson and Magnus Erlingson. This means that it was Filippus who married into the Losna family and therewith acquired dominion over Losna, the outermost island in the Sognefjord.

The latter article brings updates information published between 1882 and 1920, which should no longer be considered factual.
