In 1752, things started to go worse for Fredman as his wife died. This signalled the start of numerous events that would leave him poor and on the streets before his death on 6 May 1767.
Jean Fredman is the key figure in Carl Michael Bellman's works from the 18th century, the ''Songs of Fredman'' and the ''Epistles of Fredman''. Bellman let Fredman be the supposed narrator of his songs and poems. Originally it was thought that Fredman would play a part similar to the one of the apostle Paul in the Bible, writing epistles to his "congregation". The first song about Fredman was about his funeral, and would later become number 26 in ''Songs of Fredman''. Provided by Wikipedia
