ABSTRACT
Throughout her entire life, Louisa Ulrika's political agency and action were guided by one unique objective, the increase of royal prerogatives in Sweden. Louisa Ulrika's involvement as a political agent over the years, pursuing her objective, turned her into a key player. She carried her own political agenda, nurtured her very own political doctrine, and resorted to strategies to advance her cause and gain support. While the value of her political role cannot be denied, it is much more difficult to assess Louisa Ulrika's political legacy. Louisa Ulrika's main political objective throughout her life was to modify the Swedish constitution in order to grant the king more royal prerogatives. In order to reach her goal, the princess resorted to three types of political strategy. These can be identified and categorized as follows: traditional, extreme, and unconventional.
