 Carl Jonsson Sabelskjöld (1590 - 1663) was a soldier in the cavalry under King Gustav II Adolf (Gustavus Adolfus) of Sweden. Legend has it that during a battle the king's horse went down. Carl happened to be in the right place at the right time. He offered the king a ride on his horse and they fought their way out of a tough situation. Legend says also that one man was right handed and the other was left handed. Thus they had swords going both left and right to fight their way out. King Gustav II Adolf was, of course, greatful for Carl's great act of bravery. In 1617 he knighted him and granted him noble status. The estate known as Bråhult in Kristdala parish became his noble estate. Bråhult had been given to Carl's father-in-law, Hans Strang, by King Johan III as payment for a debt owed to Mr. Strang in 1577.

 The Sabelskjöld family name died out in the very early 1700's, but the pride of being a Sabelskjöld descendant has not died out at all !

 The Letter of Nobility from Gustav II Adolf that granted Carl Jonsson the status of a nobleman has been translated into modern Swedish and English. Here are those translations.

Here are some pictures related to the Sabelskjölds
