About
The Douglas family earned its nobility via Robert Douglas, a Scottish immigrant who became general over the Swedish forces and fought in the Thirty Years' War.
Eric inherited the castle Stj?rnorp, built by Robert Douglas in the 1650's. The castle was destroyed in 1789, but the ruins are still a famous landmark in the area.
