Prince Trigve of Arendaal ("Trigve the Wise") (1736 - 1786) was a hereditary Prince of Arendaal and Grand Duke of Norse Burgundy. He was the third son of Queen Regent Beatrix I of Arendaal and Thomas of Franken, and thus a younger brother of both Edvard IV and Hathor III. 
Trigve married Princess Francoise of Montelimar and together they were the parents of King Karl V "the Great" of Arendaal. 
Karl was one of the leaders of the 1790-1800 "Revolution of Light", which saw Arendaal become established as a constitutional monarchy, a parlimentary democracy with limited suffrage and an officially secular state. 
Trigve’s personality and philo sophical sympathies appear to have influenced his son’s sensibilities. He was close to his siblings, both to his brothers King Edvard IV and Hathor III, and his sisters: Evelina, Empress of the Talemantine Empire, Adelaide, Queen of Anglyn and Klara, Queen of Cambria. 
He corresponded frequently with them and many of his letters survive. He was the known as the most quiet, humble, and good natured of his siblings, a picture which is mirrored in his writing. The tone and content thereof also display his keen intellect and his deep interest in scientific and philosophical study. 
Prince Trigve was famous for being a voracious reader. He had one of the most extensive libraries in the country, possibly in Europe. He also wrote extensively himself, mostly scientific and philosophical treatises, one of which dealt with the Rights of Man.
