Roald (Løgmaður)

Roald was, around the year 1450, First Minister of the Faroe Islands.

Little is known about Roald, apart from that he had a farm in Dalur, and that he originated from Shetland.

In G.V.C. Young's textbook, Færøerne - fra vikingetiden til reformationen[1], Roald is not named. However, in the Lagting's official list of First Ministers, he is included.[2].
