History

The family descends from Falle Pedersen (1625–1702), who lived on the farm Østrup on Sealand, Denmark.

Falle Pedersen's son Enevold Falsen (1686–1769) was Mayor of Copenhagen. He was in 1758 ennobled under the name de Falsen. His son Christian Magnus de Falsen (1719–1799) became a justitiarius in Akershus, Norway. He was the father of the author and the official Enevold de Falsen (1755–1808). Enevold was the father of the statesman Christian Magnus Falsen (‘Father of the Constitution’), County Governor Carl Valentin Falsen, and Rear Admiral Jørgen Conrad de Falsen.[2][3][4]

gollark: It's simple to say, for example, "the program should detect if something is a bird", but incredibly hard to actually explain how to detect birds.
gollark: Yes. A lot of the time something can be simple to *vaguely describe* but really hard to describe precisely enough for you to actually program it.
gollark: ... because it is a complicated thing.
