Thomas Madsen-Mygdal (24 December 1876 – 23 February 1943) was a Danish politician from Venstre who served as Prime Minister of Denmark from 1926 to 1929. He was also Minister for Agriculture from 1920 to 1924 and again while concurrently being prime minister.

## Early life and education

[edit]

Madsen-Mygdal was born in Mygdal, Vendsyssel, the son of landstingsmand, statsrevisor N.P. Madsen-Mygdal (1835-1913) and Ane Kirstine Jacobsen (1839-1902). He became a teacher from Jelling Seminarium but later studied agriculture.

## Political career

[edit]

Thomas Madsen-Mygdal was a self-taught farmer, and was also Minister of Agriculture while he was Prime Minister, as he had also been in the Cabinet of Neergaard.

His government had the parliamentary support of the Conservative People's Party, but he lost their support in 1929 when the Conservative People's Party was not satisfied with the resources allocated to the military in the budget. Having lost his parliamentary support on this important issue, new elections were held, and the Social Democrats and the Danish Social Liberal Party came into power.

The University of Aarhus was founded under his government.

## Personal life and education

Edelgave

Madsen-Mygdal married Marie Deichmann, née Rovsing (27 December 1885 - 15 December 1955) on 15 November 1907 in Gentofte. He owned Edelgave from 1921 and until his death. His widow kept the estate until her death in 1955.
