The
armiger is
Director/Major (RNoAF)
Jan-Erling Haugland
(N.K.F.M.1.)
The coat of arm was
approved July 1st, 2008
for Jan-Erling Haugland
and his descendants of
the family of Haugland
(af Hoeitomt-lineage).
The right to use the
coat of arms is awarded
to the descendants of
Jan-Erling and Anne
Marie Haugland, in right
of the descending line
carrying the surname
Haugland, alone or in
combination with another
surname, or when
Haugland is being used
as a middle name.
The ancestry of Haugland
line goes back to older
Norwegian families,
agnately to the
Grammeltvedt family
(1641) and cognately to
the noble family of
Botner. On both
paternal- and maternal
side, the family goes
cognately to the
historical noble family
of Sudreim (also known
as Rose or Roos, still
existing in male lines
in Sweden). Based on the
coat of arms and seals
of these families, the
coat of arm of
Jan-Erling Haugland was
designed by Heraldic
designer /secretary of
Swedish Heraldic
Society, in close
cooperation with the
armiger. The final
version was then
adjusted in accordance
with heraldic rules by
Royal Herald Painter,
Ronny Andersen, cand.mag
(Danish).
The oldest know male of
the family is recorded
as being the farm owner
and steward of the
Troegstad church estate,
Peder Olsen Gammeltvedt
(1641-1714). The female
line on the paternal
side heralds back to the
old noble family
"Botnerfolket" of
Hoeland. The oldest
known male of the Botner
family used a
fleur-de-lys on his seal
(1340). When General
ADC/Captain Andreas von
Botner (1724-1748) had
his noble ancestry
confirmed by King
Frederik V on June 28th,
1756, his coat of arms
when granted included,
amongst other charges,
several fleur-de-leys.
On the maternal side of
the family, the male
descendents go through
several generations of
farm owners and bailiffs
in Denmark via the
armiger’s mother’s
father’s father,
merchant J. Thomsen
(originally Danish), to
the known clockmaker
family of Kok (Kock) in
Vendsyssel.
Clockmaker and engraver
of seals Peder Pedersen
Kok was the only person
in Denmark, apart from
the Royal Engraver, who
engraved seals in agate.
Kok himself had a rose
on his personal seal.
(Letter from P.P.Kok to
Chamberlain
Reedtz-Thott, Allborg
State Archives). The
rose can also be seen on
some of the clocks made
by him.
Jan-Erling
Haugland is at present
the oldest descendant in
the direct male line. In
addition to several
foreign awards and
decorations, he is also
decorated with the
Norwegian Kings Medal of
Merit in Gold
(N.K.F.M.1).
