Niels Stockfleth Darre

Niels Stockfleth Darre (18 February 1765 – 9 October 1809) was a Norwegian military officer.

Darre was born in Fåberg[1] as the son of Major General Michael Darre (1728–1804)[2] and his wife Anna Christine Pram. He married Ellen Aschim.[3]

Niels Stockfleth Darre was hired in the military cadastre authority in 1787, and eventually advanced to leader. In 1807, when the Gunboat War broke out, he was appointed aide-de-camp for the Danish Prince Christian August. In 1808, when the Dano-Swedish War broke out, Darre participated in battles with the rank of Major. On 14 September 1809 at Magnor he negotiated a temporary ceasefire with the Swedish Army. However, he died a few weeks later.[1]
