 | | GABEL, KRISTOFFER (1617-x673), Danish statesman, was born at Gliickstadt, on the 6th of January 1617. |
 | | During the brief interval between King Charles X.'s first and second attack upon Denmark, Gabel was employed in several secret missions to Sweden; and he took a part in the intrigues which resulted in the autocratic revolution of 166o (see *DENMARK: History). |
 | | From this year must be dated his open and official influence and power, and from 166o to 167o he was the most considerable personage at court, and very largely employed in financial and diplomatic affairs. |
