	Ajankohtainen Armfelt
		Suomessa Tatu Vaaskivi on käsitellyt Armfeltia kaunokirjallisuuden keinoin jo vuonna 1938, jolloin laaja ja aikanaan tunnettu historiallinen romaani Loistava Armfelt ilmestyi.
		Armfelt seurasi Italia-muotia ja hankki tällä matkallaan tai myöhempinä Italian-vuosinaan 1790-luvulla muistoesineitä ja taideteoksia, joista osa kulki hänen mukanaan aina Åminnen kartanoon saakka.
		Yliopiston johto Turussa toivoi nyt Armfeltin kautta saavansa edelleen nauttia hallitsijan suosiosta, ja kanslerin tehtävässään Armfelt ryhtyikin tarmokkaasti toteuttamaan vuoden 1811 melkein kaksinkertaistettua yliopiston menosääntöä ja saattamaan päätökseen vielä kesken olevaa uutta yliopistorakennusta.

		Count Gustaf Mauritz Armfelt (March 31, 1757 – August 19, 1814) was a Swedish courtier and diplomat.
		Armfelt was the most courageous of the deposed king's supporters and was resolved to retire to Finland that was ceded to Russia.

		This horrible outrage, which lasted more than an hour, happened, too, in the presence of numerous troops, drawn up in the Riddarhus Square, who made not the slightest effort to rescue the Riksmarskalk from his tormentors.
		In the circumstances, one must needs adopt the opinion of Fersen's contemporary, Baron Gustavus Armfelt, "One is almost tempted to say that the government wanted to give the people a victim to play with, just as when one throws something to an irritated wild beast to distract its attention.
		How could such a thing happen in broad daylight during a procession, when troops and a military escort were actually present ?" The responsibility certainly rests with the government of Charles which apparently intended to intimidate the Gustavians by the removal of one of their principal leaders.
