Did you know that, when Axel Wrede Sparre was appointed governor of Stockholm in 1770, Daniel Tilas remarked that "no more incompetent man" could have been appointed?
Axel Wrede-Sparre af Sundby (1 December 1708 – 19 January 1772) was a Swedish nobleman, military officer, civil servant, and figure in Swedish Freemasonry. Born into the Sparre family, he inherited extensive estates from his maternal grandfather, Fabian Wrede, and adopted his surname. Wrede-Sparre served in the Life Regiment of Horse and the Västergötland Cavalry Regiment, eventually being promoted to the rank of Major General of the Cavalry (generalmajor av kavalleriet) in 1760 and serving as President of the War College from 1768.
