Karen Knutsdatter Schancke back to King Håkon V of Norway?

[Curt Nilsen]

Greetings Newsgroup,

Comments on the following lineage are solicited.

The line is from Karen Knutsdatter Schancke (born ~1496, died ~1578,
and widely reported to be the wife of Kristoffer Trondson Rustung, the
famous Norwegian Admiral & privateer) back to King Håkon V Magnusson
of Norway.

This lineage can be found in numerous places on the Internet. I've
looked at most of the sources, but given my weak Norwegian language
skills, it's hard to catch the nuance and caveats such old information
can often have.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.
