Bolle Luxdorph

Bolle Luxdorph (19 February 1643 – 5 September 1698) was a Danish civil servant and landowner.

He left them to his daughter, Hedevig Ulrika Luxdorph, who would later marry Christopher Knuth, 1st Count of Knuthenborg.

In 1775, he accompanied the Danish minister in London Simon de Petkum to England by way of Germany and Belgium.

Kingo was a personal friend and Luxdorph attempted to grant him a more extensive monopoly than approbated by the king.

Ulrik Frederik Gyldenløve ultimately arranged for him to make amends and in 1691 he was appointed as Danish minister in Stockholm.

[1] Luxdorph owned a house in Pustervig in Copenhagen, A combination of inheritance, dowries and royal favours contributed to his wealth and over the years he became a major landowner.

He left Rosengaard, Sandbygaard and Sørupgaard to his surviving daughter by his second wife, Hedevig Ulrika Luxdorph, who married Christopher Knuth in 1813.
