Reduction (Sweden)

Reduction (Sweden)

In the reductions in Sweden, ( _sv. Reduktion) fiefs that had been granted to the Swedish nobility were returned to the Crown.

The first reduction ( _sv. Fjärdepartsräfsten) under Charles X Gustav of Sweden in 1655 restored a quarter of "donations" made after 1632. In the Great Reduction of 1680 under Charles XI of Sweden the Crown recaptured lands earlier granted the nobility.
