After the king's death Nordin shared in the general disgrace of the Gustavians and lived in retirement at the little town of Härnösand, where he held the post of lector at the gymnasium. But he reappeared prominently on the political scene during the Riksdag of 1800, and in 1805 was consecrated bishop of Härnösand.
