The Carolean's Prayer - Soldiers of the Swedish Kings - Sabaton History 009 [Official]

The Swedish Kings had to rely on the quality of their armies, often facing foes that had superior numbers. A special soldier class was created. Admired in Sweden and feared on the battlefield, the Caroleans were the secret weapon of the Swedish army. The Sabaton song 'The Carolean's Prayer' is about these remarkable soldiers and their heroic status.

IIRC, the sound was made with a wooden cutlery holder and Joachim shaking it infront of the mic, making it sound like thousands of men marching. I do believe they used that technique before Carolus Rex aswell, but I can't remember which song it was. Also, that bit with Joachim was released in one of the recording videos on Sabaton's own channel when they did the recording of Carolus Rex (DUH!).

What Joachim says here is so true. Sabaton is amazingly powerful in English, but the Swedish versions of the Carolus Rex album is just awe inspiring. I'm from Norway so I understand Swedish pretty well. Thanks for all the amazing music guys : )

[@Erikaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I've been a bit sceptical of the concept of this channel to be honest. I've always been very careful with pop history. But you know what? I was wrong. It's not just that your research is top notch, but also that you _approach_ whatever story the song is about from the right perspective, focusing headfirst on both quantifiable facts but also on the interpersonal culture and societal feelings surrounding it, which is so critical. When talking about the Thirty Years' War, for example, it's easy to get bogged down in talking about Dutch innovative infantry formations or the short-sightedness of the Imperial Doctrine, which leaves out the much bigger surrounding picture of the conflict being, proportionately, the most destructive in European history. I've literally never, in my entire time on this earth, seen any KZbin video talk about the Caroleans and the Great Northern War in an accurate way (Partly because Swedish sources are almost never translated) but you guys did it. You made an accurate video about the Caroleans. For the first time in ages, I don't have to write a 10-paragraph comment explaining the fundamental errors of a video about Caroleans. Thank you, so much. Like, when discussing the overwhelming _shock_ of a Carolean charge (Voltaire summarised it quite well: "All who have served with the Swedes know that it is nearly impossible to resist their first charge"), you _can_ include the fact that Caroleans had a habit of loading two or three smaller bullets instead of one regular one, essentially turning their muskets into primitive shotguns, or that the standard distance was between 10-20 paces from the enemy, but it doesn't really matter for the overall point of what Carolean tactics encompassed. I really do appreciate the emphasis on the personal motivations and discipline that was required for the execution of Swedish Shock Tactics. It's important to remember that soldiers are not faceless clones whose sole purpose is to do battle. Great job guys, really! 🤘 Jag undar, tittade någon av er på Armémusets dokumentär om Slaget vid Fraustadt under forskningen för den här videon? (Eller, framförallt, den eventuella framtida videon om "Killing Ground"?)

[@GrowlingRB24]

Om du vill ha en annan syn på Slaget vid Fraustadt rekommenderar jag boken: "Fraustadt 1706 av Oskar Sjöström".

Still, in Sweden, there is a lot of hints dating back to this time, many surnames originate from the comradery of these soldiers who would give each other names hinting their characteristics. Those who came back from the campaigns would then often keep that name discarding the older -sson and/or estate names. My family from my mother's side who were officers for many generations in the Swedish army is still today named Barks (Grim/strict). And everywhere there are some names which just scream military, names such as Krutrök (gunpowder smoke) for example.

My favourite song ever

[@ullonborre1337]

I think it was really cool that sabaton made carolus rex available in swedish, karolinens bön and en livstid i krig are among the few songs that give me goosebumbs

You could almost say that the Carolean soldiers had kept the practice of berserking that their Viking ancestors had started only with a different religion

Great work as always guys. love history myself and metal and one day in 2012 i stumbled across Sabaton and never have i enjoyed a single band more. Indy you are great with the history and i am currently also enjoying the slow march onward of WWII week to week. After this episode i went and listened to some of my favourites again but ended up on Winged Hussars and wondered if you shall be doing an episode on that and if so when? Love your work both the band and the history lessons and please keep making more of both videos and awesome songs. Yours: an Aussie who loves your work
