An Icelandic scholar and politician. He spent many years in Copenhagen, where he edited and published medieval Icelandic literary works and historical documents, and ran a literary society. Around 1840, he achieved the restoration of the Althingi (Icelandic National Assembly), which had been abolished in 1800, and from then on became a leader in the movement to secure autonomy for his country from Denmark, achieving the complete liberalization of trade (1854) and the granting of Icelandic legislative power to Althingi (1874). His birthday, June 17, was the day independence was declared in 1944, and has since become Iceland's Independence Day.
