Fabian Wrede (1760–1824)

After the king was deposed in a coup d'état, he was reinstated in active duty and fought during the final stages of the Finnish War and participated in the Battle of Ratan.

After the end of the war, he was dispatched on a diplomatic mission to France, where he became a supporter of Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte as a candidate for the Swedish throne.

During the Pomeranian War, he commanded a division during 1807, but was relieved of duty by Gustav IV Adolf for "outspokenness", after having argued against the king's military orders.

[5] Following the Finnish War and the subsequent coup d'état against Gustav IV Adolf, Wrede was reinstated as commander of the army forces in Norrland, with the aim to guard against a possible Russian incursion into mainland Sweden.

[5] In 1810, Wrede was sent on a diplomatic mission to Paris, and subsequently became involved in the movement to make Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte new king of Sweden.
