 The Gyllenhaal Family Tree Project: Carl Henrik Gyllenhaal
He took part in the campaign against Norway and was severely injured in the engagement at Rakkestad in 1814.
He appears under nicknames such as "The lion of Gota," "The Devil of the Customs" and "Bustler Busybody," and is frequently criticized for his repeated visits to the antechamber of the royal palace.
A contribution to this was perhaps that, during the middle of the 19th century, when there were disputes about the Customs, he openly supported more liberal trade, against the majority of the conservatives, with the explanation that the many prohibitions had a demoralizing effect and taught the Swedes to commit perjury and other crimes.
