I don't understand why Haakon is called a "diker" or poet. He may have been attached at some point to royal court were exhibited his skill. He may have also been rewarded with land and position.

This area presently is a major tourist destination for Norwegians from Oslo and regions south. The river affords good fishing and wonderful views of the valley. It also contains part of Norway's first national park.

The listed relatives seem to have stayed in the area for a couple of hundred years. They may have been involved in farming and logging. In the early years the river could have provided easy transportation of logs to the south end of Lake Mjøsa at Minnesund, nearly 174 kilometers.

Although the church in the distance is quite the landmark, this particular church was not built until 1792. The previous church was probably a stave church such as seen in Lom.

"Hakon på Hundorp is hypothetical.
From a translation on geni.com by Per Age Serigstad, march 2020:

Tjøstolv Dikter is mentioned in 1329 and 1330, both times as an ombudsman for Guttorm Erikssson and both times he Jorstad Faberg (Jorstad was rightly District Assembly farm in Fåberg) Someone connected to Hundorp is not mentioned. The seal of Tjøstolv shall be kept to the letter from 1330 (DN 7-132)

Håkon Tjøstolvsson is referred to in 5 letter from 1323 to 1330, from two Øyer, two from Ringebu and 1 from Hundorp. It is not mentioned what the farm he lived on. I can be Hundorp, but can just as easily be a far in Øyer or Ringebu. Håkon Guttorm Eriksson's sheriff. That is to name (Tjøstolvsson whihc menas that he is regarded as the son of Tjøstolv Dikter. It is mentions only a Tjøstolv in Gudbrandsdal at that time. "
