["Peter Martin Orla Lehmann (15 May 1810 13 September 1870) was a Danish statesman, a key figure in the development of Denmark's parliamentary government.,., The family belonged to the same social circle as the Ø rsted brothers and the poet Oehlenschläger.,.,.Although of German extraction, Orla Lehmann's sympathies were with the Danish National Liberal Party.,.,., In 1842 he was condemned to three months imprisonment for a radical speech.,.,.Being one of the most stirring speakers of early Danish parliamentarian life (almost like Lamartine in France) and besides a charming and committed man Lehmann however seems to have lacked both sense of reality and a more heartfelt sense of democracy. As 'the freedom fighter of 1848' he remained a national hero in Denmark for several generations but he was not able to maintain his influence.,.," - wikipedia].
