Count '''Johan August Sandels''' (31 August 1764 &ndash; 22 January 1831)<ref>{{BLF|600|Johan August Sandels}}</ref> was a [[Sweden|Swedish]] soldier and politician, being appointed [[Governor-general of Norway]] (''Riksståthållare'' in Swedish, ''Rigsstatholder'' in [[Dano-Norwegian]]) 1818 and [[List of Swedish Field Marshals|Field Marshal]] in 1824. He also served as acting [[Governor of Stockholm]] in 1815.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
Sandels was born in [[Stockholm]]. In the [[Finnish War]] (1808–1809) on 27 October 1808, he led the Swedish troops to victory against the [[Imperial Russia|Russian]] forces, at the [[Battle of Koljonvirta]]. His subordinate officers were Colonel Fahlander, Major Malm and Major [[Joachim Zachris Duncker]].<br />
<br />
These events and others in the Finnish War were later retold in a [[The Tales of Ensign Stål|series of epic poems]] by [[Johan Ludvig Runeberg]]. Runeberg's poem tells a story of Sandels having a feast while the enemy mounts a premature attack. Sandels continues his meal and is accused of cowardice, after which he raises and rides to the battle, drives back the enemy and is praised by his men.<br />
<br />
Sandels also fought in the Swedish ranks against [[Napoleon]] during the [[War of the Sixth Coalition]] in 1813 and 1814. He received some award for his services in form of a donation lands in the then [[Swedish Pomerania]].<br />
<br />
His granddaughter, Augusta Sandels, married [[Philip, Prince of Eulenburg and Hertefeld]], bringing some Pomeranian inheritance to the [[Eulenburg (surname)|Eulenburg]] family and her descendants. The couple were granted the Prussian title of Count Sandels, in addition to their other titles.<br />
