Knagenhjelm (noble family)
Knagenhjelm, also spelled Knagenhielm and in the United States Knagenhelm, is a Danish and Norwegian noble family living in Norway. It descends from Niels Tygesen Knag (1661–1737), who owned Kaupanger Head Farm. The name Knagenhielm was granted when he on 21 December 1721 was lifted up in the Dano-Norwegian nobility in recognition of his efforts to stave off Russian encroachment on Norwegian territory. Descendants still own Kaupanger, and are included in the Yearbook of the Danish Nobility.
