Lucas Debes
Lucas Jacobsøn Debes (1623 in Stubbekøbing – 1675) was a Danish priest, topographer and celebrated writer about the Faroe Islands. He wrote the first book about the Faroes, which was printed (and translated into English and German) and drew the first detailed map of the islands.〔(''Lucas Jacobsøn Debes'' (Project Runeberg - Dansk biografisk Lexikon) )〕
==His Arrival to Tórshavn==
Debes came to the Faroe Islands in 1652 as a curate. The next year he became a parish vicar and later he became the new head of the Grammar school in Tórshavn. He was both well-educated and hard-working, and the school improved considerately during his time there.
After he settled in Tórshavn he married Anne Rasmusdatter the widow of his predecessor, in accordance with the then Faroese tradition. However, since his predecessor had left behind him not only a widow but also nine children, it meant that money was very scarce and therefore he was often in debt. This in turn meant that he owed money to the monopoly trade.
