Fältmarskalk
Fältmarskalk was a Swedish military rank equivalent to present day NATO OF-10. Sometimes written as General Fältmarskalk.
The rank of field marshal – as the highest in the Swedish Army – existed from the end of the 16th century up to 1824. The rank has not been used in Sweden since 1972; previously and for a long time, it had been used only in wartime. Sweden has had a total of 77 field marshals.
Riksmarskalk was earlier the most senior military officer in Sweden, but is now the senior courtier of the Royal Court.
