Erik Bredal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Erik Bredal (1608 – 18 May 1672) was a Danish-born Norwegian Lutheran bishop.
He was born in Rudkøbing, Denmark. He served as bishop in Trondhjem from 1643 until his death. His zealous reform efforts led to clashes of interests with local priests on a series of issues, such as the appointment of resident curates, the status of priests' widows, and duties and quality of education.[1][2]
