| ARTICLES RELATED TO Adolf Frederick of Sweden | | | |  Adolf Frederick of Sweden: Encyclopedia II - Gustav III of Sweden - Contributions to CultureAlthough he may be charged with many foibles and extravagances, Gustav III is believed to be one of the greatest sovereigns of the 18th century. Unfortunately his genius never had full scope, and his opportunity came too late. Gustavus was, moreover, a distinguished author. Some say he created the Swedish theatre, and some of the best acting dramas in the literature are by his hand. His historical essays, notably the famous anonymous eulogy on Lennart Torstenson crowned by the Swedish Academy, are full of feeling and exquisite in style, his ...

An attempted monarchical revolution, planned by the queen and a few devoted young nobles in 1756, was easily and remorselessly crushed; and, though the un ...

| | | | | Adolf Frederick of Sweden: Encyclopedia II - Gustav III of Sweden - Absolute Monarchy The Riksdag of 1786 marks a turning-point in Gustav's history. Henceforth we observe a determination on his part to rule without a parliament; a passage, cautious and gradual, yet unflinching, from semi-constitutionalism to semi-absolutism. His opportunity came in 1788, when the political complications arising out of the war with Catherine II of Russia enabled him by the Act of Union and Security, on February 17, 1789 to override the opposition of the rebellious gentry, and, with the approbation of the three lower estates, establish a new an ...

| | | | | Adolf Frederick of Sweden: Encyclopedia II - Sweden after the Great Northern War - The Age of Liberty Early in 1720 Charles XII's sister, Ulrika Eleonora, who had been elected queen of Sweden immediately after his death, was permitted to abdicate in favour of her husband Frederick the prince of Hesse, who was elected king 1720 under the title of Frederick I of Sweden; and Sweden was, at the same time, converted into the most limited of monarchies. All power was vested in the people as represented by the Riksdag, consisting, as before, of four distinct estates, nobles, priests, burgesses and peasants, sitting and deliberating apart. The confl ...

| | | | | Adolf Frederick of Sweden: Encyclopedia II - Gustav III of Sweden - Politics of an Heir Apparent Gustav first intervened actively in politics in 1768, at the time of his father's interregnum, when he compelled the dominant Cap faction to summon an extraordinary diet from which he hoped for the reform of the constitution in a monarchical direction. But the victorious Hats refused to redeem the pledges which they had given before the elections. "That we should have lost the constitutional battle does not distress us so much," wrote Gustav, in the bitterness of his heart; "but what does dismay me is to see my poor nation so ...
