Hans Jonatan (12 April 1784 – 18 December 1827; also known as Hans Jónatan and Hans Jonathan) was an escaped slave, soldier, farmer and trader. His father may have been a white Dane; his mother was a black slave. Following his participation in the Battle of Copenhagen, after which he was initially given his freedom, he became the subject of a test case in Danish law on slavery.[1] Fleeing to Iceland, he became the first known person of African descent to settle in the country.[2] Later, he became the subject of a DNA study.[3]
