1794 - unrest in Bergen ?

[edit]

Can somebody help me with what happened in Bergen in 1794? From the reference below (in Danish in Topsøe-Jensen's book).

In 1794, whilst captain of the frigate Cronborg, Løvenørn was sent to Bergen to quell some disturbances there. (The nature of the unrest, and how it was resolved, is not specified in this reference) ( .. sendt til Bergen i Anledning af nogle Uroligheder)[1]
If it can be substantiated and fleshed out, it could fit well into the article on Poul de Løvenørn. Thanks Viking1808 (talk) 18:32, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This question has now been answered on Norwegian Wiki at no:Diskusjon:Bergen by no:Bruker:Gabriel Kielland saying "de Løvenørn was ordered to Bergen to prevent an uprising and was as such successful by the presence of the war ship" and giving a link to the book
  • Bergersen, Olav (1880-1973) (1966). Nøytralitet og krig: fra Nordens væpnede nøytralitets saga : en sjømilitær studie. Oslo: Tveitan. s. 239−240.
