Aslak Harniktsson Bolt (c.1380 1450) was a Norwegian archbishop. He served as archbishop of Nidaros from about 1427 to 1450. He is known for his detailed register of properties and incomes of the archdiocese, the so-called Aslak Bolt's cadastre from 1432–1433. The properties included thousands of farms, and the cadastre has been an important primary historical source from the period.[1][2]
