Notable Swedish Monarchs: Difference between revisions

Line 75:

'''Charles IX''' of the sons of Gustav Vasa the one most like his dad. Highly and successfully involved in the above [[Succession Crisis]] while he was still Duke Karl of Södermanland. Mostly famous for being the father of his son:

'''Gustav II Adolf''' or '''Gustavus Adolphus''', Sweden's greatest warrior-king, best known for his pivotal role in the [[Thirty Years War]] (therefore, one of the main characters of ''[[1632]]'' where he is depicted as something of a [[Boisterous Bruiser]]). Really ''did'' do the entire [[King Incognito]] thing when looking for a bride. For most of his reign, he worked closely together with his chancellor (not ''particularly'' evil) Axel Oxenstierna in something of a [[Brains and Brawn]] combination (although Gustav was far from stupid himself) his reign was spent almost entirely on horseback. The Swedish Empire was at its greatest extent under him, with about half of Germany conquered. However, his untimely death meant it was never consolidated.
