Gyllenstierna brothers and their father[edit]

Johan Nilsson Gyllenstierna was a Sigismund's loyalist, admiral of Sweden and Poland (Jan Gyllenstjern), father of Sigismund Gyllenstierna (Zygmunt Gyllenstjern), later, Polish senator and kasztellan of Gdánsk.

From w:sv:Göran Nilsson Gyllenstierna (Johan’s brother)

Liksom brodern Johan höll sig Göran i början till Sigismunds parti, men övergick omsider till hertig Karl och utnämndes till riksråd 1602.

Rougly: Like his brother John did, Göran stood by Sigismund at the beginning, but eventually fled to Duke Karl and was appointed senator in 1602.

Note: His father, Nils Göransson, was the Governor or Commander of Stockholm at first as we will see, but he was 72 in 1598, so his son Goran Nilsson become in charge of the office. Like in Poland those titles were not hereditary “de juris”, but many times they did were hereditary “de facto”. The Swedish “storman” were like the Polish “magnate”, (lords properly), and the Swedish “fralse” were like the common Polish “szlachcic”, (similar to petty-nobles).

From w:sv:Nils Göransson Gyllenstierna (Johan’s father)

Hertig Karl förordnade Gyllenstierna till ståthållare i Stockholm 1593.

Rougly: Duke Karl appointed Gyllenstierna as Governor of Stockholm in 1593.
