I have heard this melody from this song and another Swedish folk song, but it’s crazy how these have the same melody as the Dutch anthem

[@DominionSorcerer]

It's because Wilhelmus was the Marseillaise of its time - a revolutionary song.

[@Yxi-zc5ne]

It's because Netherlands is actually swedish and danish.

Not strange that swedes used the melody from the anthem of a previously liberated nation for song celebrating their independance.

[@balladsofhistory]

The melody of “Het Wilhelmus” served as a universal revolutionary/independence tune during the 17th century, almost like “La Marseillaise” a century later. The tune was even used by the Swiss Peasants during their rebellion in 1653. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ2maKGOqqp2sJo

What Melody did they use?

[@walemaa5631]

@@angieroxy7550 As noted in the video description and can be heard in the video - the melody of Dutch anthem "Wilhelmus"

[@adammartinssonzakrissson9870]

that song came later

[@korbin4510]

Its same melody as that british line infantry marching song.

[@SgfGustafsson]

It's a Dutch melody that everyone uses, but Sweden seems to have used it for the exact same use as the Dutch did.

[@SinoLegionaire]

Row tow tow row row for we are the Swedish grenadiers

[@ArteeGeorge]

Melody like Het wilhelmus

[@AlexA-uz6po]

[@karlandersson6]

Varför är det "Göta" och inte Svea? Sverige är ju Svea rike.

[@fvo-steamguidesochmer8559]

Tror det kanske är för "Göta Konungarike? Nej". Annars så är dock Göta en del av Sverige. Problemet med att få reda på varför exakt låten heter så är att den är 400 år gammal så det går egentligen bara att spekulera. Men tillbaka till Göta så tror jag att det kan vara för Göta är likhet med Svea, alltså om inte Svea så blir det Göta. Lite som England och dess delar som Wessex, Essex etc.

[@snorcutter]

Göta rikena var också de mer mäktiga rikena av Sverige.
