Historical context
Gustav III reigned as King of Sweden from 1771 until his assassination in 1792. In 1772, he seized power in a coup d'état known as the Swedish Revolution, ending the Age of Liberty and establishing a system of enlightened absolutism. A promoter of cultural ventures and substantial legal and social reforms, Gustav restored royal autocracy, which was later reinforced by the Union and Security Act of 1789.
