so-called Dorte Adelstein

Norwegian genealogist Tore Hermundsson Vigerust has
informed that this person, Dorte/Dorthe
Adelsteen/Adelstein/Adelsten, is nowhere in
contemporary sources. Apparently after browsing
through a lot of Norwegian primary documentation of
that era.
Vigerust doubts that she did not exist.

Moreover, it seems that her alleged parents were
inherited only by their historically attested daughter
Helga Haakonsdottir av Egge.
This casts the same grave doubt over any historical
existence of Dorte.

Obvious reason why some could have fabricated Dorte
Adelstein into existence, possibly already in 17th
century or so, is the lineage back from Anna
Henriksdottir Friis to medieval kings - and the
fabrication makes Anna as Dorte's mother.
