king's See also:brother, See also:Charles, then See also:duke of Sudermania. He remained in the background throughout the reign of Gustavus III., whom he constantly opposed and by whom he was imprisoned along with the other malcontents in 1789. He was abroad at the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time of the king's See also:death, but a See also:summons from his friend, now duke See also:regent, speedily recalled him, and in 1793 he was made a member of the See also:council of See also:state and one of the " lords of the See also:realm." At first he seemed inclined to adopt a liberal See also:system, and reintroduced the freedom of the See also:press. I-Ie did this solely, however, to See also:reverse the Gustavian system, and persecuted the stalwarts of the See also:late king (e.g. G. M. See also:Armfelt, J. K. See also:Toll) with a See also:petty vindictiveness which excited See also:general disgust. Towards the end of the regency, Reuterholm inclined towards an See also:alliance with See also:Russia on the basis of a See also:marriage between the See also:young king, Gustavus IV., and the empress See also:Catherine's granddaughter, Alexandra Pavlovna, an alliance frustrated by the bigotry of the intended See also:groom. At See also:home the Swedish See also:government ended as ultra-reactionary, owing to an insignificant See also:riot in See also:Stockholm which so alarmed Reuterholm that he threatened all printers who printed anything See also:relating to the constitutions of the See also:French See also:republic or the See also:United States of See also:America with the loss of their privileges. In See also:March 1795 he closed the Swedish See also:Academy because A. G. Silfverstolpe in his inaugural address had ventured to disapprove of the coup d'etat of 1789. On the See also:accession of Gustavus IV. (See also:November 1st, 1796) Reuterholm was expelled from Stockholm. For the next twelve years he lived abroad under the name of Tempelcrentz. After the revolution of 1809 he returned to See also:Sweden, but was denied all See also:access to Charles XIII., and quitted his See also:country for See also:good. He died in See also:Schleswig on the 27th of See also:December 1813.
