Frederik Moltke

Frederik Moltke (1754–1836) was a Danish politician and Prime Minister of Denmark.

[1][2] In 1785, he found it necessary, due to the widespread dissatisfaction among the common people in Bratsberg county, to request military assistance in the event of possible unrest.

In 1787 he was elected together with a lawyer named Hagerup to investigate the common peoples' complaints about the officials.

Then in 1792 he was appointed to the commission that was to investigate and adjudicate the case relating to Christian Jensen Lofthuus rebellion.

In 1814 he was deposed by the King, reportedly because he had expressed his sympathy for the Norwegians too strongly.
