 | | In 1797 Fersen was sent to the congress of Rastatt as the Swedish delegate, but in consequence of a protest from the French government, was not permitted to take part in it. |
 | | During the regency of the Duke Charles of Sudermannia (1792-1796) Fersen, like all the other Gustavians, was in disgrace; but, on Gustav IV attaining his majority in 1796, he was welcomed back to court with open arms, and reinstated in all his offices and dignities. |
 | | When, then, on June 20, 1810, the prince's body was conveyed to Stockholm, and Fersen, in his official capacity as Riksmarskalk, received it at the barrier and led the funeral cortege into the city, his fine carriage and his splendid robes seemed to the people an open derision of the general grief. |
