Timeline

1872

Lyng was born in Trondheim to Merchant Markus Hartman Lyng (1872–1938) and Martha Maria Helberg (1885–1959), and graduated with the cand.jur. degree in 1927.

1905

(22 August 1905 – 18 January 1978) was a Norwegian politician from the Conservative Party.

1907

He married physician Gisela Gerda Margarete Lutz (1907–1941) in 1932.

1930

During his student years, Lyng was active in the leftist Mot Dag student grouping, and his time in Weimar Germany in the early 1930s gave him a strong dislike of totalitarian movements as Nazism was on the rise there.

Before and after World War II he worked as a lawyer and a judge.

He joined the Norwegian resistance movement during the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany.

He raised the mountain cabin Skardøla in Sylene, about 50 metres from the Norway-Sweden border, which was used as an outpost by resistance fighters such as Odd Sørli, Johnny Pevik, and Nils Uhlin Hansen.

1931

He studied in Oslo, Copenhagen, and Heidelberg in 1931.

1934

Lyng was originally a member of the Free-minded Liberal Party, heading the local party chapter from 1934 to 1935.

He was a member of the executive committee of Trondheim city council from 1934 to 1940 and in 1945, but had changed to the Conservative Party in 1938, heading the party chapter in Trondheim until 1947.

1940

They were divorced in 1940.

1943

Lyng later fled the country, and worked in the Norwegian legation in Stockholm's law office from 1943 to 1944, and in the Norwegian government administration-in-exile in London until 1945.

1944

In 1944 he married lawyer Liv Godager (1918–1989).

Lyng spent his later years writing his memoirs.

1945

Lyng was elected to the Norwegian Parliament from the Market towns of Sør-Trøndelag and Nord-Trøndelag counties in 1945, and was re-elected in 1949.

1955

From 1955 to 1959 he was a member of Skien city council.

1957

He was then out of parliament for one term, before being elected again in 1957 and in 1961, this time from Akershus, and was elected leader of the Conservative Party's parliamentary group.

1963

He was the 24th prime minister of Norway from 28 August to 25 September 1963 in a coalition government consisting of the Conservative, Centre, Christian Democratic, and Liberal parties.

It was the first government in 28 years that was not headed by the Labour Party.

His brief stint as Prime Minister came in August 1963 after the two representatives from the Socialist People's Party (SF) joined a slim 76-74 no confidence vote against the cabinet Gerhardsen following the Kings Bay Affair, a series of mining accidents at Ny-Ålesund.

Lyng quickly realised that between them, the non-socialist parties were only one seat short of a majority in the Storting, and that if they banded together, they would be able to form a government as long as the SF abstained.

He quickly pulled together a coalition which took office on 28 August.

The socialist vote of no confidence was merely a protest and demonstration, and the Labour cabinet was restored a month later after the SF threw its support back to Labor.

While Lyng was Prime Minister Ebba Haslund took his seat in parliament.

Although the cabinet Lyng only lasted a month, it proved that the non-socialist parties were capable of forming a government.

1964

Lyng held the post of County Governor of Oslo and Akershus from 1964 to 1965.

He is also remembered for pursuing Norwegian membership in the EEC.

1965

Following the 1965 elections the non-socialist parties won a majority with Per Borten as Prime Minister, and John Lyng as Minister of Foreign Affairs.

1970

He was replaced by Svenn Stray in 1970.

1978

He died in 1978, after being diagnosed with cancer the preceding year.
