Coat-of-arms approved for Hans Hagerup Gyldenpalm, 23 February 1781

Hans Eilersen Hagerup was born 27 October 1717 in Kalundborg, Denmark and died 19 February 1781 at Kristiansand, Norway . He was the son of Eiler Hansen Hagerup (1685–1743) and Anna Catharina Barhow († 1737). His father was Bishop of the Diocese of Nidaros.[3] [4]

After a long career as an official, he became in 1761 General Commissioner of War in Nordland. This automatically gave him personal noble status, belonging to the office nobility (Norwegian: embetsadel, rangadel). On the 23rd of February 1781, four days after his death, he was ennobled under the name Gyldenpalm (lit. Golden Palm). This made also his children and grandchildren noble. [5]

His son Eiler Hagerup Gyldenpalm (1740-1817) became the first to use the surname Gyldenpalm. His grandson, Hans Hagerup Gyldenpalm (1774-1827) was a theologian and nobleman.[6]The family became patrilineally extinct with the death of his grandson, diplomat Andreas Dedekam Hagerup Gyldenpalm (1777–1832).
