Background
History
One of the earliest mentions of Heylor could be in a document describing the division of Hans Sigurdson's property in 1490, by which it is referred to as Heleland. Heylor also appears in a 1545 document confirming an agreement in an older 1516 document stipulating the transfer of land between Udal landowners. Heelle is believed to refer to Heylor. {| class="wikitable" !Norse !English Translation |- |Allom godom mannom thenam som thette breff Hendhr fforr atth Komma Helssom wij effthrschriffne Mendt Niels willomssonn lauggmandt wdj hieltlandt Tomes Rigadzonn Mag[n]us Jonsszonn Tomes Engusszonn Indbÿgge ÿ samme landhe Kierlige medt gude Kunnochgorend atth anno dñi M.
