Gabriel Oxenstierna
Count Gabriel Gustafsson Oxenstierna (1587-1640), Swedish statesman, brother of Axel Oxenstierna, was from 1612 to 1618 the chief adviser of Duke John, son of King John III of Sweden, and Gustavus Adolphus’s competitor for the Swedish throne. After the duke’s death he became, virtually, the locum-tenens of the Chancellor (with whom he was always on the most intimate terms) during Axel’s frequent absences from Sweden.
