What Wikipedia says

In the Great Reduction of 1680, by which the ancient landed nobility lost its power base, the Swedish Crown confiscated lands earlier granted to the nobility. Reductions (Swedish: reduktion) in Sweden and its dominions were the return to the crown of fiefs that had been granted to the Swedish nobility.
