Johan Cedercrantz

Johan Cedercrantz (originally Malmenius)[1] (23 July 1646 – 23 December 1699)[2] was a Swedish nobleman and official.

[3] Cedercrantz's main business was located on Gotland, which then belonged to Queen Christina.

He worked there in various positions from 1670 to 1676, after which the island was occupied by the Danes.

For a short time he was then Christina's chief secretary in Rome and was employed in various diplomatic missions, returning in 1679 to Gotland, where he was governor.

In 1690, Cedercrantz became lawspeaker of Gotlands lagsaga, which at the time also included Öland.
