SOME HISTORY NOTES:

Gustav III (24 January [O.S. 13
January] 1746 - 29 March 1792) was King of Sweden
from 1771 until his assassination in 1792. He was the eldest son of Adolf Frederick,
King of Sweden and Queen Louise Ulrika
(a sister of King Frederick the Great of Prussia), and a first cousin of Empress Catherine the Great of
Russia by reason of their common descent from Christian August of Holstein-Gottorp, Prince of Eutin,
and his wife Albertina
Frederica of Baden-Durlach.

Gustav was a vocal opponent of what
he saw as the abuse of political privileges seized by the nobility since the death of King Charles XII.
Seizing power from the government in a coup d'état, called the Swedish Revolution, in
1772 that ended the Age of Liberty, he
initiated a campaign to restore a measure of Royal autocracy, which was completed by the Union and Security
Act of 1789, which swept away most of the powers exercised by the
Swedish Riksdag (parliament) during the Age of Liberty,
but at the same time it opened up the government for all citizens, thereby
breaking the privileges of the nobility.

A bulwark of enlightened
despotism, Gustav spent considerable public funds on cultural
ventures, which were controversial among his critics, as well as military
attempts to seize Norway with Russian aid,
then a series of attempts to re-capture the Swedish Baltic
dominions lost during the Great Northern War through
the failed war with Russia.
Nonetheless, his successful leadership in the Battle of Svensksund
averted a complete military defeat and signified that Swedish military might
was to be countenanced.

In 1777, Gustav III was the first
formally neutral head of state in the world to recognize the United States during its war for independence
from Great Britain.
Swedish military forces were engaged in the thousands on the side of the
colonists, largely through the French expedition
force. Through the acquisition of Saint Barthélemy in 1784,
Gustav enabled the restoration, if symbolic, of Swedish overseas
colonies in America, as well as great personal profits from the transatlantic slave
trade.
