Mogens Skeel

Mogens Skeel (15 July 1651 – 5 August 1694) was a Danish diplomat, amtmand, and playwright. He is likely the author of the satirical play Grevens og Friherrens Komedie, which was written no later than 1675.[1][2]

After military service under William Duke of Orange and being the Danish envoy the Brandenburg and Sweden[3] he became the Danish Ambassador to England in 1692 just before Robert Molesworth's An Account of Denmark was published.[4]
