Summary
| Description |
English: Patkul was born in Swedish Livonia in 1660. In 1694, he was sentenced to death by Charles XI of Sweden after having protested against the king's reduction in Livonia, but fled the country. He subsequently began conspiring against his country of birth, being one of the main figures in the creation of the anti-Swedish coalition in the Great Northern War - to have Swedish Livonia returned to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. In 1706, he was handed over to Charles XII following a Swedish invasion of Saxony, which forced the elector and king, Augustus the Strong, to admit defeat and abandon the coalition. In 1707, he was broken alive on the wheel for being a traitor to Sweden. |
