Portrait of Henrik Gerner in Viborg Cathedral.

Bishop Henrik Gerner (9 December 1629 - 14 May 1700) was a Dane who studied theology and travelled extensively in England. From 1656, at the age of 27, he became parish priest for Birkerød (north of Copenhagen) and in 1693 until his death was appointed bishop of Viborg. He was briefly imprisoned, and sentenced to death, by Swedish authorities for plotting the recapture of Kronborg - the sentence was not carried out after the Danish king Frederick III threatened reprisals.[1]
