Carpelan Nobility of Finland 1958

The Jägerskiöld family originates from a certain Lydik Nilsson. What's is known about him (from records) is that he lived in 1536.

Krister Lydiksson had two sons, Johannes Kristersson and Claes Kristersson.

Johannes became a clergyman and adopted the name Johannes Welinus.

Claes was handed a patent of nobility from the King in 1686 with the noble name von Jägerhorn.

In 1625 The House of the Nobility ("Riddarhuset") was established in Sweden and from that year forward all the noble family names had to be registered by the House. It was called to "introduce the name to the House of the Nobility". The year a noble family was introduced to the "Riddarhuset" counts as the starting year for the family becoming a noble family.

Jägerskiöld / Jägerskjöld / Jegerschöld / Jegerschjöld
