She is a distinguished and published expert in public and private international law, European Union law, the law of war, French law, German law, Italian law, and inter-state conflict resolution. She served as Adviser to Pope St John Paul II (1984–2005) and advised the Lord Chancellor, Michael Gove MP, on the legal aspects of Brexit.^[4]

In addition to her native Swedish, Detter de Frankopan is fluent in English, Norwegian, Danish, French, German, Italian, and Croatian, and has a working knowledge of Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch; she has used some of these languages professionally as counsel in courts.^[3]

Early life

Ingrid Detter was born in Stockholm, Sweden. Her father was Nils Andreas Detter, a judge and jurist, and her mother, Thyra Caroline Hellberg Detter, a poet and author. She was educated at Lyceum, Stockholm and Mon Fertile, Switzerland, and later at the Universities of Oxford, Paris, Stockholm and Turin.

Career

Detter de Frankopan holds several academic degrees: D.Phil (Oxon), Jur. Kand, Jur. Lic, Jur. Dr. (Stockholm), Lic. en droit (Paris) and Dipl. Diritto Europeo (Turin).^[5]

After having completed a law degree at Stockholm University, Ingrid Detter was accepted to read for a doctorate at Oxford University. She completed this and achieved another doctorate in Law from Stockholm University as well as a Licence de droit at the University of Paris (what is now Paris I), as well as a Diploma in European Law at Turin University. She taught at Oxford University and became a Fellow of Lady Margaret Hall and of St. Antony's College, led the course on the International Legal Order at the London School of Economics, and was then, in 1987, by the Swedish Government appointed to the Lindhagen Chair of International Law at Stockholm University. For 25 years she was Adviser on International Law to Pope John Paul II.

In 1994, the competent Swedish governmental authority, Statens Ansvarsnämnd, after a long legal battle, charged her with 'disobedience' as she refused to accept that textbooks had to be approved by a political committee (linjenämnden). In connection to her following appeal to the Swedish Labour Court ("Arbetsdomstolen") and a Case in the European Court of Human Rights (^[6]) concerning a complaint about restriction of academic freedom and of freedom of expression, an agreement was reached and the matter was settled amicably. She then withdrew her Case from the European Court of Human Rights (.^[7] She decided to leave her position at the end of 1995.

She is now a barrister at Lincoln's Inn in London.^[5][8]

Personal life

Detter de Frankopan married Louis Doimi de Lupis^[9] (Prince Louis de Frankopan Šubić Zrinski, Count Doimi de Lupis), a banker and businessman who descends from several Croatian noble families, in 1968.^[10] They met while both studying at the University of Oxford.

The Doimi de Lupis family reverted to the name of Frankopan with Princely titles, after the fall of communism in Croatia. The Court of Perugia decided in a judgment^[11]) having previously examined the genealogical tables of the family and the grant of the title of Prince in 1425, with sanction of anyone who disputes this, confirmed the name and titles of the Doimi de Frankopan family. The Doimi de Lupis family was also granted a knighthood by Emperor Franz Joseph I in 1855 and 1865 when Croatia was under Austrian hegemony.
