Generalmajor Adam von Munthe

Major General, Adam Von Munte

He served during the Imperial reign and reached the rank of General-Major. For his fealty and bravery he was dubbed a nobleman.

Due to the persecution of Lutherans carried out by Duc d'Albæ (Duke of Alba) and the Spanish Inquisition he migrated with several families such as "De Fine, Knoph, Paludan, Worm" among others. They traveled to Denmark and purchased a noble manor in Skåne. Along with the property stood the church "Krospe?", where he is believed to be buried.
