 Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was the son of Jacob De la Gardie and the grandson of Ponce (Pontus) de la Gardie, a French mercenary who had been in Danish service, but made a career in Sweden after having been captured by Swedish troups in 1565, eventually marrying the illegitimate daughter of king John III.
During this period De la Gardie was the ruling spirit of the government and represented the party of warlike adventure as opposed to the party of peace and economy led by Counts Gustav Bonde and Per Brahe.
De la Gardie was treated with relative leniency, but he "received permission to retire to his estates for the rest of his life" and died there in comparative poverty, a mere shadow of his former magnificent self.
