Wrangell was a co-founder of the Swedish line of Wrangel af Adinal of the Baltic noble family of Wrangel . His parents were the heir to Adinal and Kattel, Hermann Wrangell († 1666) and Beate, née Wachtmeister († 1685). The Swedish admiral Gustav Wrangell (1630–1688) was his older brother.
From his marriage to Magdalena Clerck, daughter of the last Swedish Holmamiral Hans Clerck (1607–1679), four daughters and one son emerged.

Wrangell began his career in the Swedish Army in 1653 as a second lieutenant in the Admiralty and rose to first lieutenant in 1655 . He took part in landings in Poland as well as in Russia in the Second Northern War . Against Denmark he served in 1658 on the admiral ship Sjöholm as sea captain during the battle in the Sound and was then able to excel on the admiral ship Bjielkenstirna in the battle between Femern and Langeland. In 1666 he was promoted to major , in 1669 to spar major, and finally in 1670 to admiral lieutenant.
In recognition of his war merits in 1674, he became governor of the province of Ostrobothnia . After he had also proven himself there, the king appointed him governor of Nerike and Wermland in 1685 .
