He is remarkable for being the persistent See also:advocate of a pacific policy at a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time when See also:war on the slightest provocation was the watchword of every Swedish politician
.
Even the popular
See also:Polish See also:adventure of See also:Charles X. was strenuously opposed by See also:Bonde, though when once it was decided upon he materially assisted the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

king to find the means for carrying it on

He was also in favour of strict See also:economy coupled with the recovery of the royal domains which had fallen into the hands of the nobles, though his natural partiality for his See also:fellow-peers came out clearly enough when in 1655 he was appointed a member of Charles X.'s See also:land-recovery See also:commission
.
In 1659 he succeeded Herman See also:Fleming as See also:lord high treasurer, and was one of the See also:council of regency appointed to govern See also:Sweden during the minority of Charles XI
.
In 1661 he presented to the See also:senate a See also:plan which aimed at rendering Sweden altogether See also:independent of See also:foreign subsidies, by a policy of See also:peace, economy and See also:trade-development, and by further recovery of alienated estates
.
His See also:budget in the following See also:year, framed on the same principles, subsequently served as an invaluable See also:guide to Charles XI
.
Bonde's extra-See also:ordinary tenacity of purpose enabled him for some years to carry out his See also:programme, despite the opposition of the See also:majority of the senate and his co-regents, who preferred the more adventurous methods of the See also:chancellor See also:Magnus de la Gardie, ultimately so ruinous to Sweden
.
But the ambition of the oligarchs, and the fear and See also:jealousy of innumerable monopolists who See also:rose in arms against his policy of economy, proved at last too strong for Bonde, while the costly and useless expedition against See also:Bremen in 1665, undertaken contrary to his See also:advice, completed the ruin of the finances
.
In his later years Bonde's See also:powers of resistance were weakened by sickness and See also:mortification at the See also:triumph of reckless extravagance, and he practically retired from the See also:government some time before his See also:death
