Björn Jónsson

Björn Jónsson was Minister for Iceland from 31 March 1909 to 14 March 1911. He was the father of Sveinn Björnsson, the only Regent of Iceland and first President of Iceland. Björn became Minister for Iceland after Hannes Hafstein and his supporters suffered losses in the elections of 1908, where the voters rejected the draft of a new constitution. Björn was forced to resign after forcing the General Director of the National Bank, Tryggvi Gunnarsson, out of that post due to heavy criticism of their supporters. Björn and other opponents of the Draft won a landslide victory in the 1908 elections. He served as speaker of the Althing in 1909.
