The guttural, emotion-choked performance Joakim brings to some words is breathtaking. "Will our kingdom *fall apart",* "When our leaders lost their *heart",* "Years of war and *agony".* It's so stunning. And that bridge is stirring as hell. I can absolutely feel the misery and defiant loyalty in "A soldier from Sweden remembers the dead!". But the chorus completes it. "Broken dreams so grand..." - it stirs such tragic and valiant emotions. Bravo. Long live the King, long live Carolus _Rēx._

Jordan Mastin Most teenagers complain about not having their phone these days. At 15 he became king and 3 years into his reign all of his major neighbours declared war on his home. He was defeated by the Russian winter. He died in the winter during battle. If it wasn't an actual historical thing I would've thought it was a shakespearien tragedy. Carolus Rex, may he never be forgotten.

[@spacebory]

I'm British and I use to privately laugh at the name 'Swedish Empire' (In relation to Britain) but after reading up on history (specifically Gustavus Adolphus and Carolus) you realize that this country fought for years to become independent and then went around forging one of the most powerful empires in Europe. Carolus was a great leader and King. rip mr rex

[@darth1nsidious726]

You laughed at the mighty Swedish Empire? Well atleast you’re enlightened

[@haradream7394]

Because England had really challenging enemies in it's history: native american tribes, african tribes, aborigens in Australia. The only oppnent that was in your league was France, but then you just allied them and problem solved. Sweden had to gain independence from Denmark. Then it was fighting with Fucking Russia, Poland-Lithuania, Denmark and some German states all alone for decades (something Great Britain never expierenced_ fighting multiple stronger enemies with no allies) and they did it. Made an Empire nearly encircling the Baltic with population of less than 5 milion. No offense to Great Britain, but you made your empire on uncivilized tribesmen.

[@kylehager4113]

Haradrim England had 3 main rivals in their history, Spain, France, and Germany. Spain as its main colonial rival for becoming a world superpower, France for over a thousand years as its historic rival, and Germany as an emerging superpower. Even with their enemies having more money, soldiers, and ships, in some cases all three, they kept position as the worlds superpower until WW2

[@sebastian114]

@@haradream7394 sorry but we gained independence from denmark? Sweden were never taken by denmark we were in a Union yes, but Sweden never fought for its freedom, we fought against what the danish king did to us. Sweden is a country that has never been taken by a foreign army. The union did let a danish king rule yes, but it were a union we were never *denmark* so to say and it were a peaceful thing.

This is a true piece of Art. Sabaton really showed how this warrior king was a child, a mad man with nothing but his wars and at the same time not exactly evil. I actually feel really bad for Carl, he was no more as a child when he was crowned. While Henry the 8th was the word 'King' in the sense of a fatt bastard, Carl was the word 'King' in the sense of a great military ruler. He was a lonely child with nothing but himself, so he grew up to bring the world the only thing his own heart could ever long for and that was war. He may have been the end of his empire but he didn't deserve a death like that. We simply do not know enough today to say the last words about him. May the King at least rest in Vallhala.

[@brucejedilee5290]

300 years ago, Europe lost a great ruler that had a promising future that was ruined by fatal mistakes of his conquest, but managed to take a last stand and died in battle. Today, we lost another great ruler in history. Today, we lost a queen who did everything she can for the empire that she ruled for over 70 years. Lange Lieve Kungen! Long Live the Queen! Carolus Rex 1682 - 1718 Queen Elizabeth II - 1926 - 2022

This reminds of my Best King in medieval 2 total war. King Edward the Cursader of Scotland(in game title) His reign was peaceful for the fatherland with gold flowing into Scotland like water and he fought in the crusades forging a king for the pop and giving the land back to the pope. No other king was as kind and religious. He sent his two cardinals to spread Christ in the holy land getting it to 53 percent. He died after sailing back for Scotland after our log term ally England betrayed us and attacked York. He died on the shore of Britain making it home after 6 years of fighting in the crusades. After that everything went to shit and a heretic called sextus turned York against Scotland and we had to retake it and then the French went to war with us.

[@paw1444]

Then the army he fought with for 6 years betrayed us and fled into the night leaving the new king in Ireland with only his bodyguards to protect him

[@paw1444]

Oh yea and we were betrayed by the popes successor and excommunicated for protecting our own lands

Is that true?Swedish kings were going in attack with their soldiers?Because then they must be the bravest kings in history.

[@Justin6477]

This song is slightly misleading, Carolus Rex died while inspecting a trench during a siege. He did, however, lead his men in battle directly. As did many Scandinavian kings including Gustavus Adolphus. If you look up the list of monarchs who died in battle, it feels like 1/3rd of the list is Scandinavians.

[@OrkosUA]

[@OrkosUA]

***** I know,for example Richard Lions heart.

[@altrias2455]

***** Except that attitude stooped, at least from the French kings, after Francis the 1rst (Francois premier) got captured at the battle of Pavie. He wasn't the only one who had to go through that, John the second (Jean II) had also been captured by the english in the midst of battle, and Phillipe Auguste almost suffered the same fate at the battle of Bouvines, against the germans and the british. So it is a really brave way of fighting, but the problem is that a ruler's courage can deprive his country of its leader, as happened to the swedish....

“I have resolved never to start an unjust war, but never to end a legitimate one except by defeating my enemies.” SWE: “Jag har beslutat att aldrig inleda egg orättvist krig, men aldrig att avsluta ett legitimt krig utan att besegra mina fiender.” Swedish speakers, please correct me if the translation is off

Change it to "Jag har svurit att aldrig starta ett orättvist krig, men jag har även svurit att aldrig avsluta ett rättvist krig utan min seger." IIRC that's the exact translation.

[@josiahcain4176]

The true final age of Swedish glory. Sweden still exists, it survived but after Carolus' dead it would never truely live again. Just as the British Empire fell, Just as German ambition became twisted and dark, Sweden lost the man with such ambition, such strength, and such courage he fought with his soldiers at the front line. Like so many powers before and after Sweden's life was cut short by Russia, the land that took so much from the conqueres of the past.
