https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Hamilton,_Baron_Hamilton
Baron H. Hamilton invited him [John Paul Hempel, born in 1803, son of Johan Paul Hempel who disappeared (murdered) in 1806], to become the sheep man on the Baron's estate in Boo in Narke, Sweden. He arrived in March, 1835 with wife and three sons. The raising of sheep had not been successful on Boo. The baron was not at home when Hempel arrived, but the new sheep man immediately realized that the reason for the failure depended on damage to the feed because of air ducts from the sheep sheds through the feed on the hay loft. He immediately started to remove the air conduits.
Wow fascinating family history that I just found in my dad's file box.... So Hempel from Dresden got in trouble with the old employees as they could not understand each other and they did not like what he was doing. But eventually the Baron returned to keep the peace.....
For some time the Baron had to spend much time in the sheep sheds and in the sheep herders house in order to help both parties. However, gradually everything turned out all right.
So who was this Baron? He must have known German besides Swedish!
 
first equerry?
an officer of honour. Historically, it was a senior attendant with responsibilities for the horses of a person of rank.
 
So Boo is the town name...The province of Närke has a rich cultural heritage and covers a range of places to visit...Maria, Duchess of Sudermania

He married in 1699 to Eva Catherina Falkenberg and later Anna Fleming of Luberlitz (1682-1758), Lady in Waiting to the Queen of Sweden. With her he had several children. The role is a personal service within the royal court,

In 1721, Anna Flemming married one of the generals of the Swedish King Charles XII, the baron and later on field marshal Hugo Johan Hamilton af Hageby. In the year 1725, he bought out his brother-in-law, and in 1735 he founded the Boo Fideikommiss (Boo fee tail) together with his wife. Boo has remained a fee tail within the baronial family Hamilton af Hageby ever since. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fee_tail
one of Sweden’s largest privately owned estates.

Still a private residence! Holy smokes.
In the British peerage, the ranks from highest to lowest are: duke, marquess, earl, viscount, and baron.

OK he had a Doctorate in Philosophy by 1820 - so he must have learned German then....
In 1674 the regiment, with the
Scots battalion of Hamilton, served with Turenne's army
on the Rhine, and in June was encamped at Philipsburg in
Western Germany, with the brigade of Brigadier- General
the Marquis of Douglas.
In 1723, Salmon, in his Chronology, notes the death at
Stockholm of "Hugo Hamilton Esq., of Scotland, general
of artillery to the King of Sweden." He was in his 70th
year, and had entered the service as a lieutenant.
In the Seven Years' War great progress was made in
1758 by the Swedish army in Pomerania, under the com-
mand of Count Hamilton, who recovered, by force of arms,,
all Swedish Pomerania, and even made hot incursions into
the Prussian territories
The fate of Swedish Pomerania was settled during the Congress of Vienna through the treaties between Prussia and Denmark on 4 June and with Sweden on 7 June 1815. In this manoeuvre Prussia gained Swedish Pomerania in exchange for Saxe-Lauenburg, becoming Danish, with Prussia having bartered previously Hanoverian Saxe-Lauenburg only 14 years earlier in exchange for East Frisia ceded to Hanover again
So lately as 1857 we find Count Hamilton, marshal of
the kingdom of Sweden, and president ex-officio of the
Assemblies of the Four Orders.
. Another interpretation could be the four Royal Orders of Chivalry: the Seraphim, Sword, Polar Star, and Vasa
Order of the Polar Star: Historically awarded to civil servants and clergy.
Sheep farmer Hempel could carry a barrel of salt up a hill and into the shed.
A barrel of salt weighs approximately280 pounds
Wow!!
He trained his boys in discus throwing and sprinting...
The sons then also went into sheep farming on other farms.
