Greta Duréel

Margaretha "Greta" Brita Duréel (died in June 1696) was a Swedish noble.

At that time, it was possible to be given loans from the Swedish National Bank in exchange for a Pledge (law) of personal property.

Greta Duréel and her female accomplices acquired large sums from the bank using this method: Duréel herself about 60,000 dir., Margaretha Hoffvenia 30,000, Maria Eriksdotter 3,000–6,000 and Greta Appelgren, née Törnsköld, 3,000 dir.

Greta Duréel was at the time terminally ill, but confessed shortly before her death of natural causes.

Margaretha Hoffvenia and Greta Törnsköld were, however, freed due to lack of proof.
