Excerpt: Johan Gustaf Renat (16821744) was a Swedish military and cartographer. He is mainly known for his role in bringing detailed maps of Central Asia to Europe after several years in captivity. Renat served in the army of Charles XII during the Great Northern War as a warrant officer (styckjunkare) in the artillery, but was captured by the Russians after the Battle of Poltava. In Russia, Renat assisted Peter the Great with producing maps of Siberia, and in 1711 he was sent to Tobolsk. 1716 Renat and other Swedish prisoners-of-war took part in Ivan Buchholz's expedition to explore the gold deposits around the Lake Yamysh, but the expedition was ambushed by a Zunghar force and Renat would spend the following seventeen years in Zunghar captivity. In Dzungaria, Renat helped the khans Tsewang Rabtan and Galdan Tseren to organize their campaigns against Qing rule in Central Asia. Among other things, he organized an artillery regiment and helped the Zunghars to cast cannons. Renat also discovered that a Swedish widow was in Zunghar captivity, Brigitta Scherzenfeldt, who hailed from Backaskog in Scania and had followed her late husband to the war. After the loss of her husband, Scherzenfeldt had ended up with the Zunghars and she assisted the Zunghars with textile production. She later married Renat. In 1733, Renat and his wife was allowed to leave and he returned the following year to Stockholm, accompanied with four Zunghar female servants, who he baptized when they arrived in Sweden. Renat's family bought a house in Gamla stan where they settled down. In 1739, Renat was promoted to the rank of captain in the Swedish army.
