Gotskalk was born about 1510. His parentage is highly uncertain. He is sometimes listed as a son of Guttorm Nilsson but this is not likely.
He is named Gotskalk Guttormsen Torsnes in some family trees, but even if he might be descended from the Torsnes family, the farm belonged to the Galte family in that era.
He is labeled Jewish in some family trees, without any further explanation.
