| Description |
English: Gustav was the eldest son of Charles IX and his second wife, Christina of Holstein. He was still some weeks short of his 17th birthday when he succeeded his father in 1611, and it was only in exchange for important constitutional concessions that the Swedish Estates (the Riksdag, or Assembly) permitted him to assume full control of the government.
The House of Lords was erected during the period 1641-1672. Between the 17th and the 19th century it was a Swedish equivalent to the British House of Lords. In the 18th century, it was often used for public concerts. After 1866, when the Riksdag of the Estates was replaced by the new Riksdag, the Swedish House of Lords served as a quasi-official representation of the Swedish nobility, regulated by the Swedish government. Since 2003, it has been a private institution, which maintains records and acts as an interest group on behalf of the Swedish nobility, with the main purpose to maintain old traditions and culture. |
