===Revived Sture Line=== The Younger Stures were survived by their cousins in the main Natt och Dag line, descended from Bo Stensson's elder brother Bengt Stensson. One of Bengt's descendants, Sten Arfvidsson (1681–1730), was an officer in the [[Swedish Army]] during the [[Great Northern War]], rising to the rank of [[Major-General]] and marrying a daughter of the prominent statesman [[Carl Piper]]. He was [[ennobled]] in 1720 as Baron Sture, thus establishing a new Sture line. This iteration of the Sture family died out in 1875, but the principal Natt och Dag line survives to the present day, and is indeed reckoned to be the oldest surviving family within the [[Swedish nobility]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://sok.riksarkivet.se/sbl/Presentation.aspx?id=8768 |title=Natt och Dag, släkt |website=Svenskt Biografiskt Lexikon}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://nattochdag.org/|title=Natt Och Dag: Hemsidan|website=Natt och Dag.org|access-date=2022-04-01}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Svenska Adelns Ättar-Taflor|last=Anrep|first=Gabriel}}</ref>
