Thomas Konow (10 October 1796 – 10 October 1881) was a Norwegian naval officer and politician, most remembered today as the youngest member of the Constituent Assembly at Eidsvold in 1814. He was born in Bergen as a son of merchant Friedrich Ludwig Konow (1746–1798) and his wife Anna Hedvig Rieck (1756–1810). His father and uncle had migrated from Germany to Norway; the surname stems from the village Konau. Thomas Konow was a brother of the merchant-politicians Wollert Konow and August Konow. In March 1827 he married Colonel's daughter Catharina Magdalene Reichborn (1807–1844).〔 He was an uncle of Wollert and Carl Konow.〔 ==Career== Starting in 1805 as a cadet in the Dano-Norwegian navy, he was promoted to Junior Lieutenant in 1813 and served on the brig ''Lolland'' in Norwegian waters. On 6 May 1814 his name was removed from the list of Danish Naval Officers as he had transferred his allegiance to Norway after these two countries separated after the Treaty of Kiel. ''Lolland'' became a Norwegian vessel at the same time. He was a member of the Constituent Assembly at Eidsvold in 1814. In the Norwegian navy he was promoted to Senior Lieutenant (6 October 1821), and through the various ranks of Captain to Rear Admiral and Chief of the Navy (11 July 1860). He retired 10 October 1869.〔Topsøe-Jensen Vol II p24〕 He served as a temporary councillor of state ''in interim'' in 1861.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Register of Persons "Norway's Governments since 1814" )〕 Konow was at his death the last surviving member of the Norwegian Constituent Assembly of 1814. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Konow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
