NOTE 150.
THE COUNTESS DE LA GARDIE.
Concerning the De la Gardie family, see Note 141, Vol. I. The
Countess De la Gardie, whose meeting with Swedenborg at Ystad
is recorded in Document 207, was no doubt the widow of Count
Magnus Julius De la Gardie, who died in 1741. His widow, Countess
Hedwig Catharina, after her husband’s death removed to Paris, where
she became a catholic, and died in 1745. She had four sons, two
of whom, it seems, accompanied their mother and two sisters
to Paris. One of them Brita Sophia, likewise became a catholic,
and the other Hedwig Catharina, in 1752, was married to Count
Frederic Axel von Fersen,151 who had accompanied them to Paris
in 1743 .
NOTE 151.

150 was born in 1719. In 1743 he entered the French
army, and became colonel of a regiment raised by himself. After
his return to Sweden in 1750 he took a leading part in politics, and
was chosen three times in succession presiding officer of the Swedish
Diet. In 1770 he became field-marshal, and died in 1794.
