The von Friesendorff baronetcy, of Hirdech, Sweden, is a title in the Baronetage of England.

Contents

On 4 October 1661, Johan von Friesendorff, Swedish ambassador to England, was created a baronet by Charles II. [1] [2] In 1665 he was appointed Riksfriherre by the Emperor Leopold. [3] [1]

Although the baronetcy was considered to have become dormant in 1670 after the death of the 1st Baronet due to his descendants living in Sweden, use of the title was maintained by the family; the 11th Baronet, Rickard Fredrik Knut von Friesendorff, was admitted to the Official Roll of the Baronetage in 2018.
