2 unusual facts about Balzer Jacobsen


Balzer Jacobsen

This period of Faroese history is known in Faroese as Gablatíðin, and was difficult due to the trade monopoly and wishes from Copenhagen about the crown's absolute control of the fiefdom.

In 1661 Jógvan Poulsen regained control as Prime Minister and Jacobsen withdrew to Denmark, but the real power in the Faroe Islands still lay with the land owners.
