===Settlements=== ;Ask {{main|Ask, Hordaland}} [[File:Ask church, Askøy 21may2006.jpg|thumb|Ask church]] Ask is a village in the eastern part of Askøy. Due to its pleasant climate and its convenient location to Bergen, Ask was the location of a ''kongsgård'' (lit. "royal farm"); the very old [[Ask Church]] and churchyard was also located in Ask. The location where the church was situated from about 1200 until 1741 is today marked by a stone cross. Ask is the [[saga]] location for a famous dispute over inheritance between [[Egill Skallagrímsson]] and Berg-Önundr. The local dialect of the village also reflects the close ties to Bergen, with the dialect being more similar to that of Bergen than that of the rest of Askøy except the dialect of Florvåg;{{Citation needed|date=June 2008}} the connection was reinforced into modern times as the wealthy merchants and other residents of Bergen spent their summer there. Ask has had famous residents up to recent times. [[Fridtjof Nansen]] lived in a house near Kongshaugen in a short period. [[Amalie Skram]] lived at Lien at Ask from 1876 to 1878. ;Other settlements Some of the other notable settlements in Askøy include [[Abbedisso]], [[Erdal, Hordaland|Erdal]], [[Hanevik]], [[Kleppestø]], [[Skjelviki]], and [[Tveitevåg]].
