Coup Of 1809
The Coup of 1809 () also referred to as the Revolution of 1809 (Swedish: ''Revolutionen 1809'') was a Swedish coup d'état on 13 March of that year by a group of noblemen led by Georg Adlersparre, with support from the Western Army. The coup resulted in the deposition of King Gustav IV Adolf and the introduction of a new Instrument of Government.Isakson, Börje (2009). Två dygn som förändrade Sverige : 1809 års revolution. Stockholm: Natur & Kultur. Libris 10701773. The coup was provoked by the disastrous Finnish War. The leaders of the coup are known in history collectively as ''1809 års män'' ('Men of 1809'). The coup executors convened a parliament or Riksdag, which met on 1 May, and handed over power to it. The Riksdag declared the king deposed and elected his uncle Charles XIII as the new king. In negotiating the new constitution, Charles XIII and subsequent kings were able to retain some measure of absolute power with the Royal Right of Disposal. See also * Gus ...

Royal Right Of Disposal (Sweden)
The Royal Right of Disposal (Sweden) is an agreement between the Riksdag of Sweden and its monarch that places at the disposal of the latter the Swedish Crown palaces and the large Stockholm island of Djurgården. This right of disposal (''dispositionsrätt''), still in effect, was enacted during the period when the Swedish Constitution of 1809 was worked out, during which the king lost income and other powers. Properties thus placed at the disposal of the monarch are owned by the State, administered by the Office of the Steward (''Ståthållarämbetet'') of the Royal Court of Sweden, and managed by the National Property Board of Sweden, with the exception of Djurgården with Rosendal Palace, which is under special royal management (''Kungliga Djurgårdens Förvaltning''). It has been claimed that, through the Royal Right of Disposal, this part of the predemocratic monarchical system remains intact, despite the intention under the 1974 Instrument of Government that the Swedi ...

19th Century In Sweden
The history of Sweden can be traced back to the melting of the Northern polar ice cap. From as early as 12000 BC, humans have inhabited this area. Throughout the Stone Age, between 8000 BC and 6000 BC, early inhabitants used stone-crafting methods to make tools and weapons for hunting, gathering and fishing as means of survival. Written sources about Sweden before AD 1000 are rare and short, usually written by outsiders. It is usually accepted that Swedish recorded history, in contrast with pre-history, starts around the late 10th century, when sources are common enough that they can be contrasted with each other. The modern Swedish state was formed over a long period of unification and consolidation. Historians have set different standards for when it can be considered complete. Some common laws were present from the second half of the 13th century. At this time, Sweden consisted of most of what is today the southern part of the country (except for Scania, ...

Armfelt Conspiracy
The Armfelt Conspiracy was a plot in Sweden in 1793. The purpose was to depose the de jure regent Duke Charles and the de facto regent Gustaf Adolf Reuterholm, leaders of the regency government of Gustav IV Adolf of Sweden, and replace them with Gustaf Mauritz Armfelt, the favorite of the king's father Gustav III of Sweden. The conspiracy was discovered and prevented in 1793. Background King Gustav III had been assassinated in 1792 and his son, Gustav IV Adolf (born 1778) was too young to rule himself when he was made king. Gustav III's younger brother Duke Charles (who would become Charles XIII when he succeeded Gustav IV in 1809) was named regent, with the Privy Council to advise him. On his deathbed, King Gustav III had also committed the care of his son to Gustaf Mauritz Armfelt and appointed him a member of the Privy Council and Governor of Stockholm. Soon after the murder of Gustav III, Gustaf Adolf Reuterholm was recalled from his exile by Duke Charles and made presid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ulrica Eleonora Rålamb
Ulrica Eleonora Rålamb (; 19 August 1769 – 9 February 1847) was a politically active Swedish countess and socialite. She was born to count Carl Wilhelm von Düben and Ulrica von Düben. She came from a family of courtiers, being related to Emerentia von Düben, Fredrika Eleonora von Düben and Ulrika Eleonora von Düben. Prior to her marriage, she served as ''hovfröken'' (Maid of honour) to the royal duchess Charlotte. In 1794, she married the courtier baron Claes Rålamb (1750–1826). As was customary in the Swedish nobility at the time when a female married a male with a lower title, she took her husband's last name, but kept her own title, as countess was a higher title than baroness, and became known as countess Rålamb even though her husband was still baron Rålamb. She had one son and two daughters, one of whom was Clara Bonde. Ulrica Eleonora Rålamb was described as an intelligent beauty interested in politics and became a leading member of Stockholm high society ...

Gustavian Party
The Gustavians () were a political faction in the Kingdom of Sweden who supported the absolutist regime of King Gustav III of Sweden, and sought after his assassination in 1792 to uphold his legacy and protect the interests of his descendants of the House of Holstein-Gottorp. The term can also be used in a looser sense to refer to Swedes generally during the Gustavian era (i.e. the reigns of Gustav III and his son Gustav IV Adolf), in the same way that the word "Victorians" is used of Britons during the reign of Queen Victoria. The Gustavian Party Under Gustav III The original Gustavians were the men who supported King Gustav III's self-coup, the Revolution of 1772, and his institution of an absolute monarchy under the Instrument of Government (1772), replacing the constitutional monarchy of the Age of Liberty (1719–1772). They thus represented a continuation of the Court Party which had agitated for a stronger monarchy during the Age of Liberty. Prominent Gustavians in t ...

Coup D'état
A coup d'état (; ; ), or simply a coup , is typically an illegal and overt attempt by a military organization or other government elites to unseat an incumbent leadership. A self-coup is said to take place when a leader, having come to power through legal means, tries to stay in power through illegal means. By one estimate, there were 457 coup attempts from 1950 to 2010, half of which were successful. Most coup attempts occurred in the mid-1960s, but there were also large numbers of coup attempts in the mid-1970s and the early 1990s. Coups occurring in the post-Cold War period have been more likely to result in democratic systems than Cold War coups, though coups still mostly perpetuate authoritarianism. Many factors may lead to the occurrence of a coup, as well as determine the success or failure of a coup. Once a coup is underway, coup success is driven by coup-makers' ability to get others to believe that the coup attempt will be successful. The number of successful cou ...
