Enevold De Falsen

Enevold de Falsen (17 October 1755 – 16 November 1808) was a Danish-Norwegian lawyer, poet, actor and statesman.

Good documentation on Enevold de Falsen may be found in Store Norske Leksikon.

In 1781, Enevold de Falsen married Anna Henrikka Petronelle Mathiesen (1762–1825), who was active at the theatre in Kristiania (modern Oslo).

[12] As a consequence of a scandal,[13] Enevold de Falsen was 'offered' a high official post in Northern Norway, but he could not stand the isolation, and after less than 3 years in Lofoten, he returned to Copenhagen in 1791, where he immediately found an employment as judge.

In August 1807, British forces launched a preemptive attack against Copenhagen, leading to the Dano-Norwegian government declaring war on Britain and allying with France.
