I think you'll find that all the witch burning in Sweden was
post-medieval, post-Reformation perpetrated by the Lutheran
orthodoxy.

I've got a trifecta on witchcraft, namely the Salem witch trials. I am descended from (1) someone who opposed them, breaking the law by refusing to serve on a jury and having to flee for his life, (2) one of the main accusers, and (3) one of the convicted witches.

Again, post-medieval. Note that I'm not complaining about
off-topic posting (where is Bill by the way?). This is much
closer to the Middle Ages than many of the posts that have
appeared here. I'm just trying to correct the popular
misconception that witch hunts were a typically *medieval* thing.
That idea owes a lot to "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". The
serious witch hunts came later.

True. The Malleus Maleficarum wasn't even written until 1486, IIRC.

Presumably born est 1560. And certainly sired before autumn 1568.
But I have not had (yet) occasion to confirm the actual historical existence
of Anders Jörnson.
See, the literature (presumably quoting sources from near their days) says
that Britta Andersdotter was 'brother's daughter' of Erik Jörnson Tegel (b
1563; d 12 febr 1636), a prominent official and author of some history, who
himself was son of Jöran Persson Tegel and his wife Anna Andersdotter.
Onomastically, this fits: if enough *sons* in the brood of children of Jöran
the royal secretary, then there's bound to been an Anders, named to
commemorate the father of Anna Andersdotter.
Chronologically, this is plausible: a man born in c1560 or in 1560s, can
have a maternal granddaughter born in early 1630s.
However, there'd be room for two generations in between, if so happens to be
better supported....

We should have lunch sometime - I recently (with chagrin, as I
sympathize with the "witches") discovered an ancestor who sat on the
tribunal & condemned at least one woman for witchcraft. Best, Bronwen
M Sjostrom
personage.
Svenskt Biografiskt Lexikon (a good secondary source, prosopographical
encyclopedia) reports that Anders Jörnson, one of sons of royal secretary
(and the Evil Spirit behind the mentally unbalanced king Eric XIV) Jöran
Persson Tegel, that very Anders was in royal service, and deceased in 1635.
He appears to been less prominent than his childless brother Erik Jörnson
Tegel (d 1636), but nonetheless Anders Jörenson is attested by some
documents (for example in some in 1628).
Duke Charles, the youngest brother of Eric XIV, already as young man had
taken up the role of protector of the executed Jöran's family (presumably
already in 1570s), and consequenty they served him and then his son Gustav
II Adolf.
Then, the real source about genealogy of the next generation comes from the
distribution of the inheritance of the nobleman Erik Jörnson Tegel who
deceased on 12 Feb 1636. He was childless, his inheritance was not
inconsiderable, and it is reported that his late brother's children received
it.
That act seems to be the one which has prominently entered to genealogies,
and why Britta andersdotter was primarily mentioned as brother's daughter of
Eric Tegel. Which does not mean she were not paternal granddaughter of the
executed Jöran. She obviously was one such granddaughter.
One of those heirs was Anders Jörnson's daughter, Britta Andersdotter (widow
in c1651), married with Salomon Standorf (mentioned in 1614, had come from
Danzig; died before c1651)
according to some literature, Anders Jörnson's wife was Britta Månsdotter.
