Gustav III, King of Sweden, 1771-1792. Gustav III (1746-1792) was assassinated during a masked ball. Verdi's 1859 opera Un ballo in maschera originally was based on a romanticised version of episode, but censorship would now allow the assassination of a king, so the plot was transferred to 17th century Boston, Massachusetts.
