Norwegian sailor
Christian Jacobsen Drakenberg was a Norwegian sailor who, according to his information, was born in 1626 in Blomsholm, Norway and thus reached the age of 145. The claims have since proven implausible but at the time it was widely accepted and contributed to his considerable fame. Drakenberg led a colorful life as a sailor; he traveled much in Europe and Asia, was held captive by pirates on several occasions and fought in 3 wars under different Danish kings. He retired at the claimed age of 86, and in light of his impressive story he was awarded a yearly pension by the Danish king. Drakenberg spent the last years of his life living with beneficiaries and friends until his death in 1772 in Aarhus, Denmark.
