I think some nuance is in order. As a 15 year old, the church probably saw him as an easy mark (as everyone else did), so when he declared himself king by divine right instead of accepting his crown from the church, he dealt a massive blow to the church's power over governing the nation. Basically separating the state from the church in a time when the church had massive control. Badass :D
It was also a big protestant thing, further separating Sweden from the Catholic Church. Sweden was already considered a Protestant country, however, it's very clear that careless and the Carolinas actually believed the tenants of Calvinism (absolute universal predestination) which is why they acted as if they weren't afraid to die.
While most Christians are not predestinationists, while in war, most Christians are 😂.
The Carolus Rex album is just a pure masterpiece about the height of the Swedish Empire. Definitely need to react to more from this album. They have English and Swedish versions and the Swedish versions have different lyrics from a more personal viewpoint of the Swedes. Definitely give The Caroleans Prayer, A Lifetime of War and The Lion from the North a try. Also, they did a cover of Twilight of the Thunder God which is awesome.
ah, check the back catalog, baby! ive already done all that except prayer, which is coming soon!
4:00 He was attacked by 4 of his neighbors at once.
Thing's weren't pretty back then
He literally showed up to his cronation with the crown already on his head proclaiming that the church had no say in the matter. In his mind he had been chosen by god himself to fight and expand for Sweden. He lead his fighters into war and fought his enemies himself in every battle. He was crowned at 15 years old and never saw any use in getting married. Apparently in his first battle once he heard the gunshots of the enemies approaching it is said that he calmy proclaimed "This shall henceforth become my music". To me he will always be a legend.
Well you were halfright. No god placed the crown on him legitimicay d8id and no alien made him declare war on himself the other naitons did
@@peo4989 well. I myself don’t believe in god it’s just what everyone said about him at the time.
Carolus Rex..🇸🇪
The most epic name for a king ever...
well, officially he was Karl XII (although he was not the 12th Charles of Sweden). Latin language is just amazing, f.e. in Hungary we had Mathias Rex (although quite a few years earlier and latin was still the language of law, science etc)
The first Sabaton song i heard (Swedish version).... Got me hooked for life..
This song captures the notion of the autocratic kingdom. Carolus was brought up (brainwashed) to his beliefs and also continued what his father, grandfather etc did.
We’re all brainwashed, whether we know it or not.
that's the aristocracy, baby
The whole album is epic. A true masterpiece!
I love how the english and swedish versions of the songs tell the same stories in different ways. The swedish version of this is so much better.
Wished you had checked the live version, but still a great reaction.
Another great video! All the best from Sweden 🙌🏻
Thanks! 😃
Great reaction, this one is awesome live too, it is a fan favourite, I think they play it at all of their shows, either in Swedish or in English. Greetings from Belgium
Check out Killing Ground or the Carolean's Prayer--both off this album and both EPIC!
i gto prayer coming soon, will add the other!
Theres one album to rule them all... \m/
This 1 u should Watch Swedish version and Live…
Hmmmm...I did not know that Robert De Niro like Swedish metal music 🤣🤣👍👍!!!!
Great reaction! Nothing but bangers on this entire album!🤘 And the history of the Swedish Empire.
You have a point when you talked about having God to justify crimes against human rights. Religion and politics should be separated! In Sweden the church and the state went separate ways many years ago.
and good they did!
it is separated in most countries since the 1700s, but back in Charles' time it was not (although it had already started to spread)
I think with you I have found another person that isn't a fan of the whole god, church, and religion bs. Yeay.😊 I'm so happy.😅 The song and the last stand are fire nonetheless.
Considering the number of Jews in prominent positions, and that they consider themselves "God's Chosen", I wouldn't really say we're NOT in an era where rulers believe God has ordained them with the right to rule.
That figure on the horse looks a lot like Hannes the drummer. The actual Carolus wasn't that good looking by today's standards (probably by any time's standard's). The head is WAAY small in the main portrait of him -- unless it actually was softball-sized. That would explain some things, I guess.
doh!
The image isn't supposed to be of Karl XII, but of a karolin (Carolean) soldier. If I remember my history correct they first came to be as a part of the Swedish army under Karl XI, but it wasn't until under the leadership of Karl XII that they became one of the best armies in Europe. As for his head, yes, very small head 😝 As they said on some long forgotten TV show; Elongate the face to look Swedish. Our version of the stiff upper lip I think.
@@Chifaire That's interesting. Thanks!
You know democracy leads to tyranny right? If you claim you know history then you should know this.
Republicanism isn't democracy. The American framers didn't make a democracy, as any history student would know, they made a Republic with checks and balances.
Someone woke up and choose violence...😏
There is one guy (actually at least two) today who thinks he's a tzar and all should listen to him... :( just beyond my country's border)
I'm so glad that less and less ppl believe in imaginary friends. That time it was catholic church dictating things but he renounced it. Basically fight for power as you obviously know...
The concept of voting for president is also shiit
Yeah taking responsibility for your own rulers is sooooo bad, absolutely sucks getting to blame ourselves when we chose a bad president 😂
Sorry to say u had a president not long ago with same attitude ❤
you aint wrong
I dont think Obama was that bad
@@Mohler41 only Redneck Trump supporter belive its Obama we talk about 🤣
@@Mohler41Indeed he was. Extrajudicial killings of American kids is absolutely worse than what carolus did.
@@SeanWinters it was a joke
Are you jewish?
im very worried about why you're asking that
@@JammersMetalMischief what do you mean?
@@Nahmate1337 it such a thoroughly random question with precisely zero context. It's not really a common question.
@@PopAt50 Well I want to know if I should watch the channel or not?
so if he is Jewish then you shouldn't watch the channel? .........channelling much Adolf here......@@Nahmate1337
I'd take a monarchy with an absolute monarch over this current crap any day.
ehhh Sorry bud we have two in this life time: Putin and Trump! - Yes they are the same personality - everyone else in the world see this - amazing not the americans
trump only uses the "divine right" angle as a cover for the fundamentalists. he doesnt really believe a damn thing. pretty sure putin is at very least atheist/imperialist, rather than any kind of believer as well. the days of active, sincere "for the church!" are long over.
and im getting pretty fuckin sick of you "superior" europeans coming in here all high and mighty.
are you the son of Gérard Depardieu?
We still have them but today we call them just dictators .
