The Coup of 1809 (Swedish: Statskuppen 1809) also referred to as the Revolution of 1809 (Swedish: Revolutionen 1809) was a Swedish coup d'état by a group of noblemen led by Georg Adlersparre.[1] The coup resulted in the deposition of King Gustav IV Adolf of Sweden and the introduction of the Instrument of Government (1809).[2][3] The coup was provoked by the disastrous Finnish War. The leaders of the coup are known in history collectively as 1809 års män ('Men of 1809').
