Was Gustav badin still considered a slave?

Did he have a master?

>The social position of Badin was not quite clear; he was given several titles, such as chamberlain, court secretary, ballet master and official; he never used the title "official", which King Gustav gave him, and told him; "Have you ever seen a black official?", but preferred to call himself farmer, as he owned two farms. He was also elected to the orders of Par Bricole, Svea Orden, Timmermansorden and the Freemasons.[4]

Doesn't look like it

Sounds like he was a nominally a slave, but more like a freedman, especially if he owned his own property.

Slavery has been illegal in Sweden since the 14th century, in the 19th century they even forbade slaves from setting foot in the country.

Of course since he was taken in by royalty they had as much power over him as any slaveowner, and I'm sure his social status suffered from being a former slave (not to mention, black) but he was free enough legally.
