"So many Karls in Swedish history" - said King Louis the 18th of France "Quite right" - agreed King Edward the 8th of England
"I support the current thing"
Yes
Well ”Karl” also means “a man” or sometimes “a real man”
@@blixtenmusik ironic, because Karl Marx was a deadbeat pos
Don't forget Kristian 10th of Denmark and Fredrik 9th of Denmark
11:00 Serfdom never took off? It never took off because it was made illegal by Magnus Ladulås about a centruy before this. The nobles tried passing their serfs of as slaves to circumvent the law so Magnus' son rolled his eyes and made slavery illegal too.
Absolute Chad
@@thesenate5913 yes and btw do ladulås means barn lock in english lol
@@samuel_saysske1355 Yes it does, the king 'put a lock on the farmer's barn' as he forbade the nobility from stealing stuff from the farmers.

I remember how in Finland, we were taught of the Swedish crusades in 4th grade and i was like "What nice guys coming to save us from going to hell" and approxicately 6 years later when we discussed it more in detail i went "Wait a minute"
Dude they colonized your primary schools too

thanks! we hate/love you too /Skåne
You love to see it
Same to you from a Swede also named Robin.
@@XLoaferY My mother's people came from Skåne. They claimed to be Swedes but we are probably Danish too, although I would never admit that in public.
Just wanted to pop in and say that I think that this video showcases a highly qualitative understanding of Swedish and Scandinavian history that I really wasn't expecting to see come out of a non-Swedish source outside of academia. Very nicely done man.
....really.... ..."...high qualitative....".... .....well... I would say it tell most about your knowledge on the subject... I would call that video crap.... My first and last time on this channel....
@@logic9436 Herring is sill. Inlagd sill is a large part of our food traditions. Edit: and if you grew up with only pizza and burgers then sorry but most of us had a far wider diet, including husmanskost.
@@logic9436 Because it is a thing...
@@logic9436 It is! I love pickled herring, yum!
When you break it down, trading and raiding are mostly the same thing. Just the currency changes. In the former, you get gold, silver, precious metals, gemstones and other goods. In the latter you get an axe to the skull, sword to the gullet, mace to the brain and other physically distressing items. The Vikings were essentially very motivated buyers.
You can see the similarities every Black Friday in the US...
@@WromWrom Indeed a tried and tested concept.
Sort of like having negative currency.. it's of negative value to have an axe in your skull for example, so you're happy to trade it away
A drawback of the latter form of trade goods is they usually entailed just a short lease possession format, before being reclaimed by the original proprietor.
gotta respect the hustle
As a Dane I find this very interesting, after all as Sun Tzu said "know thy enemy" Nah, just kidding, great video and best of wishes to my Swedish neighbors.
… unless
@@whinycat4438 get out of here Hohenzollern don't get any ideas
Best wishes to you my stinky yet beloved Danish neighbor. Life would not be the same without a rival like you guys, Norway just wouldn't cut it.
DanskJÄVLAR!

Fantastic video! I noticed something around 14.00. Karl IX wasn't a grandchild to Gustav Vasa, he was his son (the third of Vasa's sons to take the throne). Sigismund is the grandchild (from Johan III:s line). // Swedish history teacher
Was just about to write that comment :D
extremt många fel i denhär videon, så det var intressant att du valde just det
No its not. Its completely retarded.
@@utspiration2397 vad mer är fel?
@@supersebbe0414 You can see early shipbuilders using a saw. They didn't use saws not even for the later viking ships. And several horned helmets are shown, if anyone used that it would be a very unusual thing. I stopped watching at 4:00 as my time is too short for that.
Fun fact. The Hanseatic league had such a big inpact on the city Bergen (here wrongly called Bryggen, Bryggen is Just a tiny area of the city) that the local beer in Bergen is to this day called Hansa and there is a historical hotell placed at Bryggen called the Hanseatic hotell. (The building is from the 1500s).
Don't forget "Tyskerkirken" (German Church), which is what a lot of people there still call one of the largest churches in the city, which held services in German well into the 1800s.
@@magnusengeseth5060 And in Stockholm there is also a "Tyska Kyrkan" - still today run by a German congregation.
@@bjornsvalling1066 Doesn't surprise me since almost all of out medieval cities began their history as Hanseatic trading posts. Hell, if we hadn't developed at least a couple of inland cities by ourselves, we might as well have divided our middle ages into the four estates of "adel, präster, tyskar och bönder" (nobility, priests, Germans and farmers) instead of "adel, präster, borgare och bönder." (nobility, priests, burghers and farmers).
And in Tallinn there’s a traditional restaurant called Olde Hansa.
It was called Bjorgvin/Bjørgvin, which is stated in video under 'Bryggen', should be the other way around . 'Bergen' came later when the Hollanders arrived, during their exploration and trading period, it gradually shifted.
I learned so much Latin from this video
Love you
😂
Hey, I ain't seen your name in a minute. Glad you're doing well!
As a Swed I just wanted to thank you for making this video. It’s not very often one if my favorite KZheadrs makes a video about my home country so thank you 🙏
Eller hur
@@banger5283 bajskjärf
Not very often? Uhhh u sure
and also they respect you by not mentioning the stinky danes
Jag håller med
14:03 Just a correction: Karl IX was Gustav Vasa's son, not his grandson. Sigismund, however, was Gustav Vasa's grandson

Thank you for making this. The video was really good! The quality is something else.
Great job 👏! As a Swedish history nerd I loved it. Still waiting for Hollywood to make a movie from some of the fantastic stories we have. We have our own William Wallach in Nils Dacke, Stockholms bloodbath the rise of Gustaf Vasa or Swedens Game of thrones with Håtunaleken and Nyköpings gästabud as main plot. There are so many too choose from.
Vad hände med filmen om Röde Orm :(
Får nog vänta ett tag på den 😂
My fellow Sabaton fans gonna have a field day with this one
To the skies, see Carolus rise!
With the Lord, my protector!
I feel like denmark can have malmö back, Good video!
I have only recently found your channel, and I have been binge watching your videos ever since, I love them, I can tell lots of work goes into them.
As a Swede in very greatful for the time and effort you put into this video that is dedicated to us. Thank you very much, as always this was a great video with great quality.
"Hey, Jean, we're gonna make you our new crown prince in line to be king!" "Dope!" "By the way, mind if we call you Karl?" "M...my name's Jean." "Karl XIV Johan it is." "What?!"
At least we also named a mushroom after him. His new name, that is, not his birth name.
@@fanbuoy9234 And it's delicious!
@@vanyadolly Jean Baptiste Bernadotte requested to add "Johan" himself, as it's the Swedish equivalent of Jean
I would really like to see you do a video on Ethiopia. This country has such an interesting history of resisting colonialism, fighting the Italians, and the famous Queen of Sheba
This is honestly very well made my guy keep it up
Thanks for a balanced run through of my country's history. It's nice to have an outside perspective on such things, and it's also nice to see that it doesn't differ a lot from what I've been taught in school.
You're a nice KZheadr, your content is informative, easy to understand and fun. Even if I can't afford to buy your stuff I just wanted to thank you for your effort in sharing knowledge, have a blessed life!
as a swede i am glad that you call the danish smelly
This was a really nice and well made video. Love the animation. Keep up the good job!
I'm surprised you left out the thirty years war so much since it was such an important war for the swedish empire, but I guess the video would've been a bit too long then. Also it felt weird that you made it look like Karl XII was the one attacking his neighbours when in fact it was them who attacked him and his empire to gain controll over the Baltic Sea, but maybe that was just me misunderstanding you. Anyways, awesome work. A great video!
Seems quite a dubious claim, as Karl XII took lands that weren't previously his, making the details of each casus belli less important.
Loved this video! And as someone who has studied the following things closely: A deep dive into Kalmarunionen, Almarestäket, Stockholm Bloodbath and Vasa's journey (before and after the bloodbath) would make for such an awesome video of yours. In Peace
I just love how much interesting and crazy history we have with our Danish brothers haha
Pickled herring is wonderful. This should not be confused with fermented herring. A very different kettle of fish, as it were. It takes an heroic effort to even get close enough to fermented herring to taste it. Doesn't taste much and is clearly not worth the cost of its smell.
Great video, glad you're still making them!
Dang 8 months between videos… I appreciate your hard work man. This is a great video. :)
I liked this a lot,as a Swede. Specially that quick little details,on the chalkboard telling the class when it`s time för mellanmål. Well done. :)
What about those stinky Danes? lol
Loved the small references hidden in the video! Really shows how much detail goes into these videos.
Viborg was the center of the danish reformation. The lose of land was terrible, because skåne+sjælland is what is consideret to be the danish hearthland.
You can have it back for all I care. It's a black hole. w/ Malmö costing the rest of us Billions..
@@Fistfury42 How about we keep the majority of Skåne for it's important farmland but make Malmö a Danish exclave? Win/win!
Wait... you mean some random Viborg town in Denmark, or the old Finnish city of Viipuri?
@@heh9392 Viipuri in Finland is hardly old compared to Viborg in Jutland. Viborg is one of the oldest cities in the nordic countries being from the middle of the Viking Age. The site is older than that though. Since time immemorial it have been the place for the Ting of Jutland and it is also known as the hearth of jutland. It was one of the three principal Things were you needed to go get voted to king if you wanted to rule Denmark.
It belongs to us now hahaha.
I just want to say how beautiful these videos are, they are an incredibly enjoyable watch
During the age of liberty did the swedish parlamentet had a couple of lose partys. The two most prominent was called caps and hats. The hats konsisted most of nobilitys and wanted to regain the empires through conquest. Then they got pover they attacked russia. Therefor the hat war. Also one of the main reason for Gustav vasa to join the reformation was that he need money to repay the german cities that had helped him. Also duke karl was also just power hungry. The whole protestant vs catholic thing did play a part in it. But he mostly did it to become king. But as you said he was a devoted protestant probably the most fanatic of the vasa dynasty
Glad to see you’re back suibhne. Was beginning to wonder when you were coming back. Glad you are
14:03 Karl IX was Gustav Vasa's son, not grandson. And Gustav II Adolf (Gustavus Adolphus) was the grandson of Gustav Vasa. Just a slight correction
I live in Bogesund (now called Ulricehamn) and I've heard about the war on the lake, but I didn't know how much of a role it played. Great video! Fun fact: there's a pretty famous swimming area where Sten Sture got shot xD
Wonderfull to see that your still making great content😊
I was surprised that you uploaded today but i'm glad that you're back with a new video
New to your channel, and I’m genuinely impressed by the quality of content you have here. You’ve earned a new sub.
It looks like you are doing less on your channel. I hope you are able to do more! Your animation is simple and very effective! I love your storytelling as well. 💜
Very entertaining! Small correction (14:05) Duke Karl was Gustav Vasa's son, not grandson. Sigismund, however, was son to king Johan III, and thus grandson to Gustav Vasa.
Very well done video. Keep up the great work!
not even at intro yet and already liked. just KNOW this is gonna be great!
love the art style and the animations there are just great keep it up fam
Amazing video, you should be proud of the quality of what you create. Thank you for sharing your time and energy to give us this.
It's almost perfect. Great work thanks
Awesome Vid. I am happy you are back
An amazing video. It's sad that it took so long to make, the algorithm apparantly didn't like that. I, someone who has watched most of these videos multiple times, got it recommended 6 days after it was released. Makes me kinda sad
Your editing skills are commendable! I've been applying similar techniques in my latest projects.
So glad to see you back at last!
another FANTASTIC VIDEO! keep up the great work!
Finally this was the first history KZheadr I watched I’ve been waiting forever 😂
love the episodes! ive seen the majority. My wife is from Colombia, if you could do one on it. That would be amazing! Keep up the good work!!
Awesome, thanks for all your hard work, really enjoyed my history lesson on speed😃👌
Thanks for the video! I am glad that I just discovered your chanel.
To explain the whole "Self coup" thing: Gustav III launched the coup against the Riksdagen which had taken all of the power that the crown used to hold, so after the coup, Gustav deposed the Riksdag and took power as a lone monarch with help of a few noblemen and militia
Most likely in the interest of the majority of the people. Rulership of the nobility normally only serves them.
You need to make a remake of the Animated History of France !
Amazing job as always!
I really, really liked this. A special shoutout to you!
Could you make a video about Norway?
Absolutely awesome video as usual :) One correction though, the most famous and best swedish military king would be Gustaf II "father of modern warfare" although Karl XII might have been more successful and daring in his time
Karl X was a extreamly sucessfull military commander wtf are you on about
Yep. You can always ask the Japanese about Gustavus Adolphus. They put his name in many games, the latest being Triangle Strategy, where the norse ruler and master strategist is names Gustadolph.
Thank you for all of your hard work!
Finally uploaded the video was amazing
I am swedish and this video made me learn so much, thanks suibhne
Great video as always have seen nearly all of your videos! But I have quick suggestion/ request, would you be able to make video about Baltic countries?! Thanks
I've been asking that for years.. it's probably not going to happen unfortunately
Thank you for the promo link! - new curiosity and nebula subscriber
The herring is amazing. Great video, thanks!
I have the Carolus Rex album ready to play on loop
Based.
we have geography now for geography. Now Suibhne for history. I hope you keep doing this for every other countries.
nice video - glad to see you again
Looking forward to your next video❤️
I must say you missed one thing. The hats was sort of the first right parti and their left contrast was called the caps. So swedens first partis was called the hats and the caps.
”The hats war”. It was called that because the leading party in the Riksdag at that time was called “the hat party” or “the hats”.
Thank you for the video, was very interesting to learn so much about my countrys history
Thx bro! Great vid!
The attested history of Olof Skötkonungs ancestry is very spotty, so Olofs connection to the House of Munsö name for the dynasty, tracing it back to Björn Ironside, is very speculative and at least to some extent legendary, so the name isnt universally accepted for Olofs dynasty. Just a minor detail, obviously to minor of a distinction to dissect in a video summarising all of Swedens history, with little bearing on what unfolds. Par for the course really in new dynasties and kingdoms that begin to keep written track of these things. Also, what name is Gävle-ägarna from? Means "the owners of Gävle" in modern swedish but first time i come across that name for the locale. Lubeck and the Hansa were also a huge help for Sweden breaking free of the Kalmar union, supplying mercenaries, cannons etc. Aside from the bloodbath overreach and subsequent fears of losing established rights, a big divisive factor for the union was the opposing foreign interests of Denmark and Sweden. Sweden had designs on the baltics, Denmark was invested in its german holdings and a sore sticking point was Denmarks rivalry with the Hansa. The swedish import of hanseatic salt from Luneburg was very important to the Swedes and they had nothing to win by denmark antagonising the Hansa.
I suspect it's a misspelling of Gävleängarna (meadows of Gävle)
Pickled herring is one of the most delicious things on the planet! There are countless varieties of flavors, all the home made ones are different, maybe you had a not so well-made one?
Indeed, one of my absolute favourite foods. It's delicious
These videos are dope! Keep up the great work dude
Amazing as always mate
Love our viking brothers that rulled us during Kyivenrus, grets from Ukraine :)
Slava ukraini
Heroyam Slava!!!
Kievan rus rulers were proved to be finno ugrics
We've not forgotten you our long lost brothers and sisters
@@Viikkinu "Proven" by who exactly? Finnish nationalists?
Correction. I may be mistaken in understanding your date, but if at the moment 5:22 850, there was no "Kievan Rus" or simply "Rus" even close at that moment. The Rurikoviches will conquer the principality of Kiev only at the beginning of 862, but here on the map in 850 year Kyiv already has one of the variants of their family coat of arms. At that time, these were more than fragmented principalities. and even if it was just Rus, as here on the map within the borders of the principalities, it is strange that you did not paint them all in the same color separating Kievan Rus from the rest of the principalities. Despite the fact that Rus as such did not have a common border with all the principalities before the Kingdom of Moscow (city of "Vladimir principality" in the east), for even being de jure united, de facto they despised each other and went on raids, including those bordering Kyiv, as an example, pereyaslavl. Therefore, this map of the Eastern Slavs looks rather strange.
Glad someone else noticed this
I'm a simple Swede and your thumbnail was irresistible. Now I've binge watched 1/2 of the entire channel (and subscribed). Great stuff! One question though - just me or is it something odd with how the intro-music ends? "Out of pace" somehow =)
