Laurids Lindenov

Laurids Lindenov (1640s – 10 October 1690) was a Danish nobleman and civil servant in Norway. He was probably born at Funen, Denmark, a son of landowner Henrik Ottesen Lindenov. He died by drowning off Sola in Rogaland, Norway. In the 1660s he served at the Court of Christian V, with the title of hoffjunker, and as chamberlain for Duchess Frederica Amalia of Holstein-Gottorp. From 1681 he served as acting governor (amtmann) of Bergenhus amt in Norway. During a travel in 1690 his ship wrecked off the coast of Rogaland, where both Lindenov and his wife perished.^[1][2]
