Encyclopedia Britannica



HOPKEN, ANDERS JOHAN, COUNT VON (17121789)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 684 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HIG-HOR
HOPKEN, ANDERS JOHAN, COUNT VON (17121789) , Swedish statesman, was the son of Daniel Niklas Hopken, one of Arvid Horn's most determined opponents and a founder of the Hat party. When in 1738 the Hats came into power the younger Hopken obtained a seat in the
secret
  committee of the diet, and during the Finnish war of 174142 was one of the two commissioners appointed to negotiate with Russia. During the diet of 17461747 Hopken's influence was of the greatest importance. It was chiefly through his efforts that the estates issued a " national declaration " protesting against the arrogant attitude of the Russian
ambassador
 , who attempted to dominate the crown prince
Adolphus
  Frederick and the government. This spirited policy restored the waning prestige of the Hat party and firmly established their
anti
 -Muscovite
system
 . In 1746 Hopken was created a senator. In 1751 he succeeded Gustaf Tessin as prime minister, and controlled the foreign policy of Sweden for the next nine years. On the outbreak of the Seven Years' War, he contracted an armed neutrality treaty with Denmark (1756); but in the..following year acceded to the league against Frederick II. of Prussia. During the crisis of 1760-1762, when the Hats were at last compelled to. give an account of their stewardship, Hopken was sacrificed to party exigencies and retired from the senate as well as from the premier-ship. On the 22nd of June 1762, however, he was created a
count
 . After the revolution of 1772 he re-entered the senate at the particular request of Gustavus III., but no longer exercised any political influence. His
caustic
  criticism of many of the royal
measures
 , moreover, gave
great
  offence, and in 1780 he retired into private life. Hopken was a distinguished author. The noble style of his
biographies
  and orations has earned for him the title of, the Swedish Tacitus. He helped to found the Vclenskaps Akademi, and when Gustavus III. in 1786
place in it.
See L. G. de Geer, Minne of Grefve A. J. von Hopken (Stockholm, 1882); Carl Silfverstolpe, Grefve Hopkens Skrifter (Stockholm, 189o-1893). (R. N. B.)
