By promoting an officer training in accordance with academic principles he laid

76-460: A bacon slice, which is why the house was nicknamed Bacon-Hill . A large part of today's building in Marieberg originated in the early 1960s and goes back to a 1958 city plan, signed by Göran Sidenbladh. The plan for the area was originally drawn up by architect Åke Ahlström and was intended for a concerted development of different tall houses with different functions and different proportions. In

114-480: A few years after moving in, Stockholm University decided that the Stockholm Institute of Education should be integrated into the university's other operations at Frescati and the premises at Campus Konradsberg were therefore gradually phased out.

The development of the area began with Wivalliusgatan's house down by the water. A little later, the two large residential buildings were erected on

266-517: The 1320s it clearly appears as a force, and from the 1440s it was the permanent opponent of royal power, replacing the Danehof . The Council consisted of noblemen who were appointed either by the king or their peers on the council. Until the 1536 Reformation , bishops were automatically members. So were the supreme officials (today the "cabinet ministers") while lower ranking "ministers" did not have any formal right to membership. The "backbenchers" of

304-582: The 17th century. Norway had a Council of the Realm ( Riksrådet ) that was de facto abolished by the Danish-Norwegian king in 1536–1537. In Sweden the parallel Council gradually came under the influence of the king during the 17th century. The members of the Council of Denmark seem to have developed from being councillors of the king to being representatives of the magnates and noblemen. From

342-698: The Danish king Christian II , the Swedish nobleman Gustav Vasa took over the resistance and successfully restored Swedish sovereignty in 1523. Over the next two centuries the Monarchy and the Riksråd were constant rivals. When Sigismund was crowned in 1594 the Riksråd drafted the Charter of Nyköping which took many of the king's powers. During Queen Christina of Sweden 's reign a large proportion of crown land

380-832: The Manilaskolan and the Hällsboskolan and Stockholm International Montessori School. Riksr%C3%A5d Riksrådet (in Norwegian and Swedish ) or Rigsrådet (in Danish or English: the Council of the Realm and the Council of the State – sometimes translated as the "Privy Council") is the name of the councils of the Scandinavian countries that ruled the countries together with the kings from late Middle Ages to

494-526: The Norwegian Riksråd gradually diminished. The archbishop of Trondheim mostly acted as the head of the council. As Norway had of old been a hereditary kingdom , the Norwegian Riksråd's task did not, originally include the election of the king, as in Sweden and Denmark. However, as successive kings died without leaving any issue, starting with Olav IV in 1387, it fell to the Riksråd to interpret

532-684: The Royal Swedish Army Staff College and the Royal Military Academy . In 1951, the higher courses of the Artillery and Engineering College were incorporated into the Royal Swedish Army Staff College. The school then included a staff programme, a weapon technical programme, an engineer programme and a fortification programme (with students from the Navy and Air Force ). The Royal Swedish Army Staff College

570-430: The State rejecting too extravagant demands from the Danish gentry . The background of this normally was that they themselves represented the Danish answer to the peerage. The number of councillors was not laid down. Normally it was about 20, but from time to time deaths might reduce their number wherefore it was supplied by mass creations. Not until 1648 was the number of councillors finally fixed to 23. The authority of

608-712: The bishops in Oslo , Hamar , Stavanger , Bergen ), as well as one in the Faroe Islands , two on Iceland , one in Greenland , and one in Orkney (lost to Scotland in 1468). The bishops from the islands rarely participated in the Norwegian Riksråd. In addition, the chaplains of the royal chapels in Oslo and Bergen were permanent members. So were the commanders of the five strongest castles of Norway: Bohus , Akershus in Oslo,

684-520: The castles in Bergen , Tønsberg and Trondheim . The rest of the council was recruited from the Norwegian nobility. Only Norwegians were eligible for these places in the Norwegian Riksråd – however, this was also taken to include foreigners who had married a Norwegian. As several of the bishops and commanders of the castles were foreign – mostly Danish, but also some Swedish – the number of Norwegians in

722-433: The council took part in daily negotiations of problems and administration, voted, and took on diplomatic tasks. Most of them were squires who also had to look after their lands. As a whole, it was the role of the council to rule together with the king, to control him, and to manage the affairs of State well. The councillors were seen as a guarantee towards the nobility (and in theory also towards "the people") that everything

760-433: The council was indisputable, and within some limits the kings also tried to co-operate. However most of the kings neglected some of the rules and, for instance, foreign questions presented many loopholes. The many military defeats of the 17th century and especially growing economic problems and conservatism of the nobility also weakened the prestige of the council, and the king gradually tried to strengthen his own influence. At

874-481: The height of the council's power. In the early 16th century, the power of the Norwegian council diminished. The Oldenburg union kings conducted a policy of strengthening their own power at the cost of the nobility, and the Norwegian nobility was too weak to put up a strong opposition. In addition, the few Norwegian noble families became more and more intermarried with the Danish nobility, giving them less of an interest in maintaining separate Norwegian structures. During

912-548: The heights of Marieberg. The light plastered building (due to its wrinkled facade also called "Dragspelshuset") in the neighborhood of Lysbomben was built in 1961–1962. It is a 16-storey house with 210 apartments and about 1,200 m of office space. To the west, the Riksbyggen built the Silvieberg 3 property in the 1960s, a residential complex with alternating bands of reddish-brown and light-plastered parts, reminiscent of

950-454: The introduction of absolute monarchy in 1660, the council was abolished. The word Rigsråd was revived in Denmark in the 19th century. During 1854–1866 it was used for a special federal council dealing with all common legislative questions of Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein , and from 1863 of Denmark and Schleswig alone. It had hardly anything else in common with its old namesake other than

Marieberg has its name after the Marieberg malmgård (suburban manor), which was erected in the 1640s on

1026-465: The minority of King Magnus VII Eriksson . There do not seem to have been any clear rules for how many members the council should have, or who should be councillors. During the 15th century, the number could be from 30 to 40, whereas after 1500 it was barely above ten. The Norwegian bishops were automatically members. There were at the time five bishops in mainland Norway (the archbishop in Trondheim ,

In the area south of Rålambsvägen was Marieberg's porcelain factory (1758–1788), as well as

1140-444: The start of the course was moved to the beginning of October and the end of the school year to July. From 1905, a new course with 25 students started every year, so that two courses could run at the same time. When the college was established, so was a joint board consisting of one Inspector for the Military Schools ( Inspektör för Militärläroverken ) and a Military Education Commission ( Krigsundervisningskommission ). The Inspector for

1178-425: The succession laws. This it did so freely that Norway more and more became, in reality, an elected monarchy, like its Nordic neighbours. This was formally affirmed in 1450, when Christian I of Denmark took the Norwegian throne as an elected monarch. On his death, in 1481, the Riksråd ruled the country for two years, in an interregnum , before electing Christian's son as the new king – a period which could be seen as

1216-564: The title. (The world's first use of the Single transferable vote in an election of legisators was seen in the 1855 Rigsrad election.) [1] The loss of Schleswig in 1864 made the Rigsrad redundant, and it was abolished by the new constitution two years later. The Norwegian Riksråd gradually emerged around 1300, evolving from the King's council. It emerged clearly as a power factor after 1319, during

1254-481: The troubled transition to the reign of King Christian III , the Norwegian archbishop Olav Engelbrektsson led a rebellion in support of Christian's rival to the throne. After Christian had won, the Norwegian Riksråd was de facto abolished, in 1536–1537. The archbishop went into exile, the Protestant reformation was carried through in Denmark and Norway, and the Norwegian Riksråd never assembled again. The Riksråd

1292-488: Was a general and a higher course in the majority of the subjects. The teaching time was calculated so that in 5 years, two courses could be completed. One had to pass the course for promotion to lieutenant in the Artillery and the Fortification ( Fortifikationen ), as well as for entry into the General Staff. The course was two years long. During its first years, it began on 1 August each year with an even order number, and received after entry examination 20-40 officers. Eventually

1330-457: Was alienated (given to nobles) which led to major financial instability in Sweden. King Charles XI was Sweden's first absolute monarch who led an immense ' reduction ' policy (the retrieval of land from the nobility). In 1654 1.5% of land was the Crown's and 72% belonged to the nobility. By 1700, 35.5% of land belonged to the Crown and 33% belonged to the nobility. This continued until the end of

1368-690: Was discontinued in 1961 and the Royal Swedish Armed Forces Staff College was formed by merging war colleges of the different military branches, namely the Royal Swedish Army Staff College (established in 1878), the Royal Swedish Naval Staff College (established in 1898) and the Royal Swedish Air Force Staff College (established in 1939). From 1878 the Royal Swedish Army Staff College was located in

1406-408: Was done right. The Council took over the rule in the space that appeared by a succession or at interregna. It led negotiations over the creation of a new haandfæstning , and in theory it also had to call for a rebellion against kings who did not keep their promises, a right that was used in 1523. However, in the 16th century, it was not quite unusual that the councillors to some degree identified with

1444-500: Was the upper parliamentary house in Sweden populated by the nobility. The Swedish nobility often played a prominent role in Swedish history, which both helped and hindered the nation. Sten Sture of the Riksråd led the resistance against the Danish-dominated Union of Kalmar until he was killed in battle in the beginning of 1520. After the Stockholm bloodbath in November 1520, when around 90 nobles were executed by
