His parents were Adam Frederich, Count of Trampe to Løgismose and Gertrud née Hoffmand de Poulson. He belonged to an originally Pomeranian noble family, whose noble status had been naturalised in Denmark and Norway.
He was married three times, and had several children.[1] Among them was Adam Frederich Johan Poulson, Count of Trampe, the last national count (Norwegian: riksgreve) in Norway.
He was born in 1779, enrolled as a student in 1794, and graduated as a cand.jur. in 1798. He became deputy judge in Lolland og Falster in 1800, before making a brief military career in the Danish Army. He was then governor of the then-Danish province Iceland. In 1810 he came to Norway, as the first member of his family, as County Governor of Søndre Trondhjems amt (today named Sør-Trøndelag). He held this position until his death in 1832.[1]
In Trondhjem he was a member of the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters, serving as praeses in 1832 right before his death.[2] He was a Knight of the Order of the Dannebrog in 1811, Knight of the Order of the Polar Star in 1818 and Commander of the Order of the Polar Star in 1825.[1]
