    The truth behind the fiction of: Lloyd George’s Daughter and the Suffragettes Performed at Haga Församlingshem, 12th Oct. 2018 & Great Glen, Leicester, 27th Dec 2018 Written by John Chaplin, Chairman of the Anglo-Swedish Society, Gothenburg 2018 ANGLO-SWEDISH SOCIETY, LONDON 1918 The Anglo-Swedish Society in London began life in 1918 at the initiative of Sir Henry Penson and the British Ambassador to Sweden, Sir Esmé Howard. The Society set up an office with clubroom and library at 10 Staple Inn, High Holborn (not far from the Tea Cup Inn, where our play starts). Its first patrons were HRH the Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden, the Duke of Connaught, HE Count H Wrangel, Sir Esme Howard and Baron E. Palmstierna. Sir Henry Penson explained that the Society had been formed “to promote intellectual intercourse between the peoples of the British Empire and Sweden, assistance in arranging an interchange in educational facilities and the encouragement of reciprocal travel”. In the two years after the establishment of the Anglo-Swedish Society in London, sister organisations were set up in Sweden: the British-Swedish Society in Stockholm in 1919 and the Anglo- Swedish Society in Gothenburg in 1920. During the First World War, Henry Penson was chairman of the War Trade Intelligence Department in the Ministry of Blockade (1916-1919). The Ministry of Blockade restricted commercial shipping to the Central Powers and to the neutral powers such as Sweden, thus putting pressure on Germany and Austria to end the war quickly. The Intelligence Dept. had to study every kind of War Trade problem from all possible sources, questions affecting the policy and operations of the Blockade, and economic resources, conditions and developments in various parts of the world.

Reforms, Ceremonies, Self-Fashioning and the Entanglement of Ideals and Values in Late Eighteenth-Century Sweden Henrika Tandefelt This article sets out to study the entanglement of different political, ideological and moral ideals and traditions in the Kingship of Gustav III, King of Sweden 1772–1792. Political thinking and practice in Eighteenth-Century Europe offered many elements and examples that different monarchs could apply in their own particular circumstances. Gustav III was one of the European Kings that openly supported the French enlightened thinkers fashioning himself as a Reformer-King. He was also very influenced by the French culture over all, and the culture of the traditional royal court in particular. In addition the Swedish political history with a fifty-year period of decreased royal power before the coup d’état of Gustav III in 1772 influenced how the European trends and traditions were put into practice. The article pursues to understand the way different elements were bound up together and put to action by the King in his coup d’état 1772, his law reforms in the 1770s and in the establishment of a court of appeal in the town Vasa in Ostrobothnia in 1776 and the ceremonial, pictorial and architectural projects linked to this. In this article I examine what has been called the enlightened absolutism of the Swedish king Gustav III (1746–1792) during his reign of 1772–1792. Gustav III’s reign began with a royal coup d’état in August 1772 and ended with the king being murdered during a masquerade ball at the Royal Opera in Stockholm in March 1792.

It was suggested this history be completed in time for our fortieth anniversary. The following gentle- men were elected by the Society to serve on this Committee Clarence S. Ongman, Chairman, Sven Strid, Carl Iljalmar Lundquist, and Albin G. Witting. As Mr. Witting resides in Colorado it was impossible for him to take any active part in the work. Mr. Lundquist, being Secretary of the Chicago branch of the Swedish Centennial Celebration, has been un- able to work with us, so the labor has fallen upon the Chair- man and Mr. Strid. After some months Mr. Eric Blomquist, our former librarian, and Mr. Gustaf Palm, our Secretary, have been of great help. I said the labor has fallen on Strid and j^our Chairman, yes, it has been labor, but has been in- tensely interesting. Delving into the old records has been a tedious dusty job, but one of fascinating interest.
