Horn, Arvid Bernhard, Count Horn (1664–1742)

Finnish-born Swedish statesman. He served in the Swedish army against France and gained rapid promotion, being sent in 1704 as Swedish ambassador to Warsaw, Poland, and helping in the deposition of Augustus of Poland. In 1705 he became councillor to the new King Stanislas, and later as head of the party of ‘Caps’ practically ruled Sweden after the death of Charles XII; under him the nation enjoyed great prosperity. His party remained in power until 1738, when it was ousted by the ‘Hats’. Horn was born in Vuorentaka, Finland.
