Iver Rosenkrantz
Danish diplomat
Iver Eriksen Rosenkrantz (5 December 1674 – 13 November 1745) was a Danish statesman and landowner.
Early lige and education
Iver Rosenkrantz was born at Rosenholm Castle (Rosenholm Slot) in Hornslet, Denmark. He was the son of Erik Rosenkrantz til Rosenholm (1612–1681) and his third wife Margaret Krabbe til Vemmetofte (1640–1716). His father was a nobleman and statesman who died when Iver was aged 7. Iver's mother hailed from the province of Scania (Skåne) which was ceded to the Swedes in 1658. Iver's maternal grandfather Iver Krabbe was a prominent politician and army man, one-time governor of Norway. Iver Krabbe and his wife (young Iver's grandmother), Karen Marsvin, settled in Denmark after the cession of Scania, but young Iver still had two aunts and an uncle in what was now southern Sweden. Iver's uncle, Baron Jørgen Krabbe of Krogholm (now Krageholm), was very fond of him. Unfortunately, Jørgen Krabbe was executed by the Swedes in 1678, in the midst of the Scanian War.
Iver received a rigorous education.
