Can anyone tell me what the last two words might mean - and in which parish Ringerike is located? I think "Lunderprestjold" must be read as "Lunder prestejord" meaning the farmlands of Lunder. This farm is located in Sokna some miles west of Hønefoss town in Ringerike. The parish was called Norderhov and perhaps has kept this name, but the "kommune" (municipality) is called Ringerike.
