Author. Rev. Nils Fredrik Bolander was a published poet and author of two published hymns and various religious literature. He served as the Bishop of Lund in the Swedish Lutheran Church from 1958 to 1959. After having served as vicar of Engelbrekt Parish in Stockholm and dean at Lund, he became bishop in 1958, but died suddenly of a stroke a year later. A well-respect religious figure, he was known throughout Sweden for his very engaging sermons and for the rare filling even of large churches in an era when this was not common in Sweden. His sermons were recorded on gramophone records, which sold well. He was married twice: Vera Silfverstolpe and Bengta Ridderstedt, and had a total of four children. According to a biography by Carl-Erik Sahlberg, Bolander's father was an extramarital son of King Carl XV of Sweden.
