Kings rewarded a person who performed a heroic deed, had a notable achievement, or held a prominent position in government by granting them a noble title. Because Sweden limited the growth of the noble class, only about two percent of Sweden's population were noblemen. There was not much division between upper and lower nobility. | Kings rewarded a person who performed a heroic deed, had a notable achievement, or held a prominent position in government by granting them a noble title.
