Greve af Fogelvik 1706
Nils Carlsson Gyllenstierna af Fogelvik (13 October 1648 – 30 March 1720), a member of the Swedish baronial family of Gyllenstierna, was a Swedish field-marshal, member of the Royal Council, president of the Board of War, and governor-general of Bremen-Verden. Rewarded with the earldom of Fogelvik, he belonged to the cautious senior officers, who he hesitated when faced with Charles XII's aggressive plans, and allied with his son-in-law Arvid Horn in opposition to the King.
