"So many Karls in Swedish history" - said King Louis the 18th of France "Quite right" - agreed King Edward the 8th of England

You have no idea how much youtubers like us look up to you. Thanks for bringing back the incredible content, we love it!

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.

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

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.

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.

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).

Lots of love to our Swedish brothers and sisters! You are awesome! - A stinky Dane

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"
-
14:03 Just a correction: Karl IX was Gustav Vasa's son, not his grandson. Sigismund, however, was Gustav Vasa's grandson

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.
-
I learned so much Latin from this video
-

My fellow Sabaton fans gonna have a field day with this one

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.

Thank you for making this. The video was really good! The quality is something else.
-
As a Swede, I appreciate the Swedish recognition!💙💛🇸🇪🇸🇪

As a Swed I just wanted to thank you for making this video. It’s not very often one if my favorite YouTubers makes a video about my home country so thank you 🙏
-
