Köhler Hussars laid down their arms. Bernadotte first came to the notice of the Swedish authorities with his courteous treatment of the captured Colonel Count Gustave Mörner and his officers, who mainly hailed from the province of Ostrogothia. Bernadotte treated Count Mörner with the utmost courtesy; placing his own lodgings at the Count's disposal whilst a prisoner of the French. Marcellin Marbot, a hostile witness, wrote in his memoirs that Bernadotte, "was especially desirous to earn the character of a well-bred man in the eyes of these strangers." Mörner, and his nephew, Baron Karl Otto Mörner, later played a key part in the early stages of the process that eventually led to the 1810 election of Bernadotte as Crown Prince of Sweden by the Riksdag of the Estates and in 1818 ascended the throne as King Charles XIV John of Sweden.
