When not on travels, Linnaeus worked on his classification, so it would work for plants, animals, and minerals.
The Swedish King Adolf Frederick from tbe House of Holstein-Gottorp granted Linnaeus nobility at tbe end of 1756, but he was not officially ennobled until 1761. Linnaeus received tbe last name von Linné, later often signing just Carl Linné, but never again Linnaeus. After he was made a noble, he continued teaching and writing. His reputation had spread over tbe world, and he talked with many different people. Von Linné was upset by weak health, and he had gout and tooth aches.
