Biography . Ivar Huitfeldt was born in the Norwegian town of Halden . He lost his mother at the age of six and his father died six years later . Both his parents died in his childhood years and he was therefore later raised by his stepmother with whom he moved to the Norwegian area of Hurum . At the age of 16 he sent an application to Christian V of Denmark - Norway in which Ivar Huitfeldt applied to join the navy . It was granted and he started the trainee programme of the Dano - Norwegian navy . As a part of the trainee period he first served in the Dutch fleet before later joining the French fleet . He returned to do service in the Dano - Norwegian fleet in 1689 as a 24 - year old lieutenant , but in the following year he returned to do service in the Dutch navy to get more experience . He participated in the Battle of Beachy Head , where the Dutch - English navy was defeated by the French fleet under the command of admiral Tourville . An admiral he served under just two years later at the Battle of La Hogue , where the French navy was defeated by a Dutch - English fleet . In 1691 he got the title as captain in the Dano - Norwegian fleet and in 1704 he was appointed commander . This year the king also ordered Ivar Huitfeldt to take charge of the ship yard in Kristiansand , a position he held until 1707 . Death . Ivar Huitfeldt was killed in action during the Great Northern War at a battle in Køge Bugt on October 4 , 1710 . The Dano - Norwegian fleet was engaged by the Swedish fleet , and Huitfeldt ' s ship Dannebroge exploded after a fire on deck reached the gunpowder depot . After the ship caught fire , Huitfeldt ordered his crew to remain onboard and continue firing at the Swedish fleet . Due to Dannebrog ' s strategic position , this decision allowed the rest of the Dano - Norwegian fleet to escape , but lead to the deaths of almost the entire crew . The corpse of Ivar Huitfeldt was later found on the beach in Køge Bugt . According to the commander in chief of the Dano - Norwegian navy , Ulrik Christian Gyldenløve , the fire on Dannebroge was probably ignited by the cannons of the ship . Gyldenløve mentions this in his letter to the king , where Gyldenløve also regrets that a " brave and talented " officer should die in such a miserable way . Gyldenløve followed the battle from his ship Elephanten and wrote the letter at about 9 o ' clock in the morning of October 5 .
