  • Maria Nilsdotter i Ölmeskog (1756–1822) was a Swedish farmer in Väse Hundred in Värmland County, who was awarded a Royal Citizens Medal after having prevented a rebellion during the disturbances after the death of Charles August, Crown Prince of Sweden in May 1810. Maria Nilsdotter was the daughter of the farmer Nils Larsson and Kierstin Nilsdotter i Ölmskog and married Jan Nilsson in 1781; she was the heir of her parents and took over the farm Ölmskog with her spouse from her parents. After the death of Charles August, Crown Prince of Sweden on 28 My 1810, rumors circulated through the nation that he had been poisoned by the Gustavians, and created great tension. In the capital of Stockholm, Axel von Fersen the Younger was lynched in June because of these rumors (Fersen murder). In Värmland, an anonymous proclamation circulated which called men to arm themselves and march as an army to the capital to protect the monarch, who was claimed to be in danger. By the time they reached the farm of Maria Nilsdotter, they were about 40, but still growing in numbers, and asked for her three sons and male servants to join them. She demanded to know who had issued the proclamation. When told that it was in fact not issued by the authorities but from an anonymous and unknown source, she forbid her sons to join them. She thereafter held a speech to the assembled armed men, which convinced them to dissolve the improvised army and discontinue the formatting of it. She thereby prevented what could have been the start of a dangerous rebellion. On 8 October 1810, Maria Nilsdotter was awarded a chain with a medal of gold and a Gilding silver coup with the inscription: "By King Carl XIII to Goodwife Maria Nilsdotter i Ölmeskog, for virtue in citizenry".

  • Maria Nilsdotter i Ölmeskog, född den 2 augusti 1756 i Ölmskog i Väse socken, död där den 31 mars 1822, var en bondmora i Värmland som fick en medborgarmedalj för att under oroligheterna efter prins Karl Augusts död 1810 ha förhindrat ett upplopp. Maria Nilsdotter var dotter till Nils Larsson och Kierstin Nilsdotter i Ölmskog. År 1781 gifte hon sig med Jan Nilsson från Ölmskog. Efter giftermålet bosatte sig de på hennes föräldragård, Ölmskog, som de senare övertog. Vid Karl Augusts död cirkulerade rykten om att han blivit förgiftad. En anonym proklamation kallade då män till samling för att tåga till Stockholm med syfte att skydda kungen, som sades vara i fara. Fyrtio män hade åtlytt kallelsen. Då man försökte värva även Maria Nilsdotters tre söner och drängar, krävde hon att få veta vem som utfärdat kallelsen. Då hon fick veta att den var anonym förbjöd hon sönerna att gå med och höll ett tal inför de församlade männen, som skingrade hela uppbådet och avvärjde vad som kunde ha blivit ett uppror. Den 8 oktober 1810 tilldelades hon en kedja med medalj av guld och en förgylld silverbägare med påskriften "Af konung Carl XIII till Hustru Maria Nilsdotter i Ölmeskog, för medborgerlig dygd". (sv)
