Synopsis

This book details the shift from the rule of law to absolute monarchy in Sweden, delving into the complexities of the Swedish feudal system. The author examines the subtle changes in government, examining how the nobility gradually lost power, and the monarchy slowly gained more influence over the people. Despite periods when Sweden exhibited commonalities with more democratic societies, the trend toward absolute monarchy persisted, with the shift reaching a peak in 1772 when the Swedish monarchy enjoyed unprecedented power. The book is a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of political power in early modern Europe.
