The ombudsman system, a representative external control agency of modern administration , was first established in 1809 during the reign of Charles XIII. Although similar prototypes of agency agencies that monitor and supervise administration existed before, the ombudsman system in the modern sense is considered to be the beginning. At the time, it was established as an independent research agency affiliated with the Swedish Parliament.
