From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Armfelt family is a Swedish, a Finnish and a Russian noble family. Members of this family were awarded with the title of Baron and Count in Sweden. There were two lines of the family, one living in Sweden, which died out in 1868 and the other one in Finland, that in 1952 has regained the right of representation at Sweden's Knighthood.
The progenitor of the Armfelt family, Lars Eriksson, was originally from Frösön, Jämtland, Sweden, and he was knighted under the name Armfelt in 1648.[1]
