from well-travelled – marianne vasara-aaltonen 309 All eight second class judges had studied, and all but one had at least travelled abroad. The three of whose foreign studies something is known had studied in Leiden and Strassburg. Uddo Ödla (1617 – 1668) had enrolled at the Leiden law faculty in October 1643,884 and between 1643 and 1651 he was respondent in four different disputations.885 It is safe to say that Ödla’s legal education was above average. Johan Munkthelius (nob. Lagercrona) (1618 –1674) had obtained a doctorate in medicine from Leiden. Being a royal physician must have gained him the trust to be appointed to the court of appeal.886 Perhaps his medical knowledge was also of some use at the court in criminal cases.887 Nils Bureus (nob. Burensköld) (1625 –1681) had read law in Strassburg in 1650 and was extraordinary law professor in Uppsala prior to his career at the Svea court.888 Among the second class judges we also find Olof Mårtensson Berling (1604 – 1679), who had disputed in law at the Uppsala University.889 Whether the others had read law is not known. The third class judges have clearly gained in education compared to twenty years earlier. Now all of the six learned assessors had studied in Sweden,890 two also in Leiden, and one is said to have travelled abroad before beginning his career. Carl Rosinger (nob. Rosenstielke) (d. 1661) enrolled at the law faculty in Leiden in 1641 on the same day as first class judge Johan Gyllenstierna (1617 – 1690),891 and defended three disputaBatavae mdlxxv-mdccclxxvp. 160; Riksdags-Historien, ed.

Johannes Guldenstern, whose age is 1-2 years different from what is mentioned in Anjou’s records. Such errors were not uncommon, so it is probable that it is the same person. Neither Anjou nor theSBLmention Gyllenstierna’s studies in Leiden, but theSBLstates that he was “known for his learnedness”.
