In 1665 Horn became a field marshal, in 1666 Governor General of Bremen-Verden, in 1677 a member of the Swedish Reichsrat. As Governor General he commanded Swedish forces in 1675/76 against the allied German armies during the Bremen-Verden Campaign, but eventually had to surrender. In spite of the fact that he had little experience of sailing, he was given the command of the Swedish Navy in 1677. The same year, he was defeated by Denmark in the Battle of Køge Bay. In 1678, he was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of Livonia. ==Sources== *The article ''Horn, Henrik'' in ''Nationalencyklopedin'' (1992). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henrik Horn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
