Baron (Friherre) Gustaf Adam von Nolcken (1733-1813) - szwedzki dyplomata. Origin His father was Baron Erik Mathias von Nolcken (1694-1755), a Swedish diplomat and Ambassador of Sweden in Paris. The Nolksmen - the lineage of German descent - moved from the Reich to the Teutonic state (ie Estonia) around the fourteenth century, in the sixteenth passed to Lutheranism. One of them, the Swedish queen, Krystyna Waza (1632-1654), gave the title of baron. The main family estates were on the island of Olesia, but the von Nolcken family also had estates in Latvia, Estonia, Sweden, Finland and Courland. The Swedish line was initiated by Father Gustaf Adam's baron Erik Matthias. His younger brother was Johan Fredrik von Nolcken (1737-1809), also a Swedish diplomat. 1764-1793 ambassador in London

Gustaf Adam von Nolcken was a long-time (1764-1793) Swedish ambassador to London.

In 1788 he sought to contribute to the dismantling of Sweden's political isolation in Europe by negotiating an alliance with the British. William Pitt Young and Francis Osborne, Lord Camarthen, feared, however, that by alliance with the Swedes it would have pushed France into the arms of Russia. Von Nolcken was helped by British diplomat Hugh Elliot, a supporter of the alliance of Britain, Prussia, the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden against Russia. At the fiasco of talks with Pitt, Nolcken informed the Swedish ruler, but Gustav III kept this information to himself, with all the hope of an alliance.

On 18 July 1791, Gustav III ordered him to write a letter to the Hessian Kassel Landgrafing Authority, in addition to 16,000 Swedish soldiers and 8,000 Russians in attack on the revolutionary France to attend the Hessian-Kassel army of 12,000 soldiers. The Swedish agent James Quentin Craufurd was to help Nolcken in persuading the British to join the anti-revolutionary crusade. Likewise, Christian Eherenfried von Carisien was to act in Berlin.

On January 30, 1792, Gustav III ordered Nolcken to closely follow the steps taken by the French revolutionary Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord. Bibliography
