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.
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.

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.
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
@@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.
@@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).
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 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"

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

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.

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.
@@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.
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.
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!
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

"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?!"
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 =)
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
Thank you by the way for the frank, yet respectful mentions of some of the more embarrassing moments of Swedish history. Also I was not aware of the Polish thing. Sorry, Polish people! We're very careful to keep our king leashed now.
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?

the drawing on 18:08 is amazingly accurate - only issue is that the building to the leftern side is actually on the right considering where you "stand and look" on the left side it shouldn't be as big building as it is here But it is so accurate on how it actually looks that you know exactly where this is - only thing missing is the cannon ball
This might be a weird question, but where can I find more on the armor and general military equipment depicted in this video? (specifically what the soldiers at 11:42 are wearing). I'm looking to do a DnD campaign in that era and my brain needs to know more

”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”.

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
not even at intro yet and already liked. just KNOW this is gonna be great!
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)
Great video, glad you're still making them!
Could you make a video about Norway?
It has been a while, was wondering what the notification was lol, welcome back
Thank you by the way for the frank, yet respectful mentions of some of the more embarrassing moments of Swedish history. Also I was not aware of the Polish thing. Sorry, Polish people! We're very careful to keep our king leashed now.
Finally uploaded the video was amazing
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
Suibhne I love your content!
A list of nations I'd love to see is Perú, USA, Israel, Serbia, Malaysia/Indonesia, Greece, Egypt, Mali, Congo, & South Africa
He alive. Which is good, because he is good.
So glad to see you back at last!
I have the Carolus Rex album ready to play on loop
Based.
Tack!
Can you make one on Norwegian history since you have made one about all the other nordic countrys
New to your channel, and I’m genuinely impressed by the quality of content you have here. You’ve earned a new sub.
I thought this channel is dead, but suddenly he come just like great heathens army
the drawing on 18:08 is amazingly accurate - only issue is that the building to the leftern side is actually on the right considering where you "stand and look" on the left side it shouldn't be as big building as it is here
But it is so accurate on how it actually looks that you know exactly where this is - only thing missing is the cannon ball
That’s a lot of work for 8 months. Give yourself a pat on the back. Good job.
another FANTASTIC VIDEO! keep up the great work!
I feel like denmark can have malmö back,
Good video!
Thank you for the promo link! - new curiosity and nebula subscriber
Great way to show how the goths came to be tbh, never thought of it from that perspective
12:53 I actually live here, there have been many findings from this battle in the lake åsunden. The city named bogesund is called "Ulricehamn" today.
This might be a weird question, but where can I find more on the armor and general military equipment depicted in this video? (specifically what the soldiers at 11:42 are wearing).
I'm looking to do a DnD campaign in that era and my brain needs to know more
The armour at 11:42 is probably from the late 15th century and the helmet seems to be some form of Sallet.
In a 1986 LEGO castle box set.
Was kind of cool to see Bogesund being mentioned since that's where i'm from (although it's called Ulricehamn now)
