It has been discussed if he came from Winchester in England.
He is known for the construction work of the Stavanger Cathedral.[1] Even if the construction periode of the cathedral was about 1100 to 1150.
Being in conflict with the king, Harald Gille, he was hanged in Bergen on 18 January 1135.[2][3] Other than that, he was also fined very shortly before for not disclosing information on gold treasures hidden by Magnus the Blind.[4]
