Iver Krabbe

Iver Krabbe (March 22, 1602 – October 30, 1666) was a Danish nobleman, military officer, and governor-general of Norway from 1661 to 1664.

Biography Iver Krabbe was born at Övedskloster Manor in the province of Scania in eastern Denmark, the son of Tage Krabbe (1553–1612) and Sofie Jørgensdatter Friis (1576–1611). He studied in Orléans and then in Padua in 1625, and returned home in 1628. There he was made a lesser noble at the court, but he left the post on 25 August that year, when he married Karen Ottesdatter Marsvin (1610–1680)

Krabbe died at his estate Gunderslevholm in Zealand on October 30, 1666, and he is buried at Gunderslev Church. He had many grandchildren in both Scania and Denmark, and his daughter Margerete's son Iver Rosenkrantz later became a well-known Danish politician.
