Hartvig Andreas Munthe

Hartvig Andreas Munthe (9 December 1845 – 17 June 1905) was a Norwegian military officer, engineer and genealogist.

Since 1900 he was an aide-de-camp of King Oscar II of Sweden and Norway, and in March 1905 he reached the rank of colonel.

[1] On 7 June 1905, the Norwegian Parliament ratified a motion by Prime Minister Christian Michelsen to depose King Oscar, essentially ending the Union between Sweden and Norway.

[4] This was confirmed by the Negotiations in Karlstad and the overwhelming Norwegian union dissolution referendum of 1905,[5] but Hartvig Andreas Munthe lived to see neither of these as he died already on 17 June 1905 in Kristiania.

[1] As a genealogist, Munthe was noted for his work on his own lineage, Efterretninger om Familien Munthe i ældre og nyere tid, released in two volumes in 1883 and 1888 and described by Einar Jansen as a "pioneer work".
