Fältmarskalk

Fältmarskalk (field marshal) was a Swedish military rank equivalent to present day NATO OF-10.

Sometimes written as generalfältmarskalk (General Field Marshal, or German equivalent Generalfeldmarschall).

The rank of field marshal – as the highest in the Swedish Army – existed from the end of the 16th century up to 1824.

The rank has not been used in Sweden since 1972; previously and for a long time, it had been used only in wartime.

[1] Riksmarskalk (Marshal of the Realm) was earlier the most senior military officer in Sweden (still second to the Monarch), but is now the senior courtier of the Royal Court.
