Carl Gustaf Nordin
Carl Gustaf Nordin (born 2 January 1749 in Stockholm, died 14 March 1812 in Härnösand) was a Swedish statesman, historian and ecclesiastic. Early life In 1774, he was made docent of Gothic antiquities at Uppsala University in consequence of his treatise, "Monumenta svia-gothica vetustioris aevi falso meritoque suspecta". When he was summoned to Stockholm in 1782 by Gustav III of Sweden to edit a Swedish , half an hour's private conversation with the young priest convinced Gustav that Nordin's proper place was in the political arena. But he employed Nordin quite differently from his episcopal colleague Olof Wallqvist. While the bishop publicly defended the royal measures, Nordin became the king's private adviser. In politics Nordin was a royalist. To him, a parliament seemed little better than a mob. He was one of the king's secret managers during the troublesome and dangerous Riksdag of 1789, but advised caution and compared the estate of clergy, which at one time held the bal ...
