| A fight in 1719, about the rights of ownership of the fields, ended by Eivind Gudbrandsgard stabbing Ola Øylien to death. Eivind ran off and lived as an outlaw in the mountains between Hallingdal and Inner Song for many years. In 1737 he was found dead in Toviken. The story tells that he was shot by a man from Lærdal.
