Jógvan Poulsen

He married the daughter of previous Lawman Jógvan Justinusson.

Jógvan Poulsen was raised on a farm in Oyri, before he became elected leader of the Lagting.

King Frederik III of Denmark did not like Jógvan Poulsen as Lawman and replaced him with the Dane Balzer Jacobsen, one of Christoffer Gabel's supporters.

Gabel at this time had a monopoly on trade to and from the Faroe Islands, so this was much better for him.

His son, Jákup Jógvansson, later also became Lawman of the Faroe Islands.
