  • Notes 
    • Sources state Georg's portrait is to be found at Haagenvik and the Stavanger museum.

      From 1670 to 75 Georg was in voluntary imperial service under the Electoral Prince of Pfalzland, the Duke of Lothringen. He was called home in 1675 to become a Lance-Corporal in the Brockenhus Regiment, where he took part in the siege of Wismar, in the battle by Lund. In 1677 he was promoted to regiment quartermaster, and was present during the siege of Kristianstad.

      In April 1676 the Danish navy led by Nils Juel captured Gotland, and on June 1 the smaller Danish and Dutch fleet defeated the Swedes off Öland while losing only one ship, giving them command of the sea. King Kristian V led an army of 15,000 men to recapture Scania, and they seized Helsingborg on June 29; the Swedes retreated from Scania to Sweden. However, a Swedish army led by Karl XI defeated Denmark-Norway’s smaller army in the battle of Halmstad at Fyllebro on August 17, and at Lund on December 4 they crushed a larger Danish army, killing more than twice as many Danes and taking 2,000 prisoners. Surviving Danes retreated to the Landskrona fortress. Kristian’s army attacked Malmö on June 26, 1677 and lost about 3,500 men, and the Swedes beat them again at Landskrona on July 14. Nils Juel’s greatest victory was when the Danes destroyed twenty Swedish ships in Køge Bay on the first two days of July. The Danes retreated from Scania, and the Swedes’ besieged the Danes at Kristianstad. Reviving his army with German mercenaries, Kristian led them to relieve the Swedish siege of Kristianstad in July 1678, but seeing a large Swedish army approaching, the Danish king chose to evacuate all his forces from Scania, leaving the garrison to surrender on August 5.

      During this war the Danes won most of the sea battles suffering only 375 casualties while the Swedes lost more than 3,000 men. Louis XIV imposed the treaty of Fontainebleau on Denmark and Sweden on August 23, 1679. Then on September 16 they agreed to a peace treaty at Lund which restored Danish conquests in the war to Sweden for a small indemnity, and Kristian Albrecht was restored in Holstein-Gottorp. Denmark and Sweden also made commercial arrangements including a common coinage. Much wheat in fields and barns had been burned in Scania, and thousands of Scanians fought as guerillas against the Swedes. Sweden and Denmark were reconciled as Frederick III’s daughter Ulrika Eleonora married Sweden’s Karl XI on May 6, 1680.

      In 1678 Georg was promoted to Captain of the Trondheim Regiment, from 1680-96 he was Commanding Officer of the Outer Sogn Company of the Bergenhus Infantry Regiment, in 1696 he was promoted to the rank of Major, in 1704 to Lieutenant Colonel, and in 1710 to full Colonel and Head of the regiment. He left the military service in 1712, and died October 2, 1721 in Bergen. He was buried October 30 in Nykirken, Bergen.

      Georg married three times and sired sixteen children. His 1st marriage, 1681 was to Birgitte Christoffersdtr Munthe (Morgenstierne) born July 13, 1662 in Flahammer, and died there on October 2, 1696. His 2nd marriage was to Marie Thomasdtr Montagne in 1699, and she died in 1709. His third marriage in 1713 was to Marie Elisabeth Jorgendtr Thormohlen, who died in 1742 (her first marriage was to a Councilman Laurids Weiner in Bergen).
