• Notes

  Christopher Nyrop (born March 29, 1680 in Lødingen , died March 29, 1733 in Kristiansand ) was a Norwegian bishop . Nyrop's father, Hans Nyrop (died 1700), was a parish priest . The mother was Benedicte Mikkelsdatter Storm. He deposed from Bergen School in 1697, received a certificate of 1700 and became 1705 personnel chaplain of the parish priest Poul Hansen Glad in Ejd ( Nordfjord ). When this ( 1708 ) was convicted of the office of document forgery , Nyrop went to Copenhagen and in 1710 became a priest , 1711 parish priest to Herrested , 1714 to Nyborg and the same year magister . On June 21, 1720 , he was appointed bishop of Kristiansand , and in this position he died on his 53rd birthday. There is nothing printed from his hand, but after all that can be seen from his official writings and more, he must have been an ardent, earnest and powerful bishop of the old Orthodox school . His zeal for the catechism might indicate that he was unaffected by the pietistic ventures of the time, while his attempt to keep the ancient scripture up was unified by any thought of the Confirmation already being worked on by pietist priests . That he was a powerful man, who knew how to use authority with wisdom, must come to pass, as there was much cruelty, misery and cargo in the congregations , and he met some of his subordinate officials there. There is nothing to see but that he handled the difficulties well. Holberg praises him as a wise and eloquent man who was a father to his priests. Married 1st ( 1706 ) to Malene, born Glad (died 1707 ), daughter of the above parish priest Poul Glad and Malene Rasmusdatter, 2nd to Elisabeth Kirstine, born Hiort (born 1690 , died at Norderhov 21 August 1755 ), daughter of Hans Gregersen Hiort, parish priest to Stenstrup , and Ellen Poulsdatter Boesen.
