In the war of 1710, between Denmark and Sweden, this captain's ship, the Danebrog, took fire. To save the ships which were being driven by the wind towards his burning vessel, he and his gallant crew sacrificed their lives. Herluf Trolle was a Danish noble and a famous Admiral, who left all his wealth to found a school for orphans.
"But had they done anything to you?" "Oh, no! all dancing entertainments have a little extra dance like that to wind up with. They merely wanted to dance with the girl I had asked first." "Is it so dangerous, then? What sort of a girl was she? I mean, what was her name?" "Oh, one was called Marie, and the other was Anne Herluf Andersen's daughter. They were pretty girls, I can tell you.
So Herluf Trolle's school was founded, and although this brave old Admiral died from wounds received in battle centuries ago, yet his school is considered to be one of the best at the present day. One of the most storm-swept and barren of Denmark's many islands is the island of Fanö.
