Johan Christopher Toll

Johan Christopher Toll (born 1 February 1743, died 21 May 1817) is a Swedish diplomat, military and politician.

He came from a family of Dutch roots, whose representatives have been spotted from the 13th century. In the 16th century he moved to the Baltic provinces of Sweden.

He sat in the Swedish Parliament. During the debates of the 1771/1772 "party of caps" deprived him of the deputies, so he later decided to support the absolutist aspirations of the new king Gustav III. This, including the Toll of the coup of 1772, caused Gustav III to achieve his goal of the absolute monarchy in Sweden and the abolition of parliamentaryism. On May 21, 1772, he departed from Stockholm to bribe the guards of the important fortress of Kristianstad.

After the death of Gustav III (1792), Toll became the chief commander of the Swedish army in Skåne County.

From January 8, 1793 to August 9, 1794, he was a Swedish MP in Warsaw. He supported the proflancus party in Poland and tried to weaken the Russian influence. Actually, as one of the foreign diplomats in Poland, he dared oppose the will of Russian ambassador Osip Igelström. He pledged the Poles to revolt and, according to some sources and papers, promised Swedish assistance in the event of a conflict with Russia.

During the Napoleonic Wars, he participated in Stralsund's defense against attack. Bibliography Authoritative control (person):
