Balzer Jacobsen

Balzer Jacobsen or Baltsar, called " the evil one ", was from 1655 to 1661 Løgmaður of the Faroe Islands.

Balzer Jacobsen was Dane and first Landvoigt ( futi ) of the Faroe Islands. It was in 1655 against the wishes of Løgtings of King Friedrich III. used as Løgmaður. This marked the beginning of the fork time in which Christoffer fork, a close friend of the absolutist king, was the fief of the Faroe Islands and they exploited ruthlessly (and never entered ). Balzer Jacobsen was thus one of Gabel's men locally. Although Jacobsen in 1661 replaced by the Faroese Jógvan Poulsen and left the country, but the real power lay anyway when Landvoigt.
