The reason that he never wore armor was that he, whilst on campaign in Poland I believe, got shot somewhere between his neck and collarbone. All attempts at extracting the musketball were unsuccessful, and it remained in his body for the rest of his life. This made wearing armor incredibly uncomfortable, so he decided not to wear armor anymore. That injury is also the reason he couldn’t feel a few of his fingers.

Hi, new subscriber here. I just want to say that I really do appreciate the hard work your entire team puts into these documentaries. Each are extremely in-depth and well written. Not sure if you have any Americans on your team but here in America we have a channel called "the history channel" that rarely shows anything about history but instead has show after show about crazy conspiracy theories like ancient aliens and bigfoot, or scripted "reality" tv shows about pawn shops, animal control in the bayou, and 2 guys who go around lowballing old people for the junk in their barn. I ask myself all the time "what the hell does that have to do with history?" any time I end up watching that channel. It's truly depressing what's become of that channel. It's very comforting that there are channels like yours and select others that I can go to to get my history fix. I'm sure im not the only one when I say you are very much appreciated. Thank you and keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing your future endeavors.

Christian 2. was called Tyrant by the swedes because 80 swedish noblemen and women had been executed. It was the swedish archbishop Gustav Trolle who had ordered it, and the danish king had let it happen. But the video forgot to mention that the swedish king Erik 14. was raving mad. In the war with Denmark he ordered his soldiers to kill all danes they could get hold on. And he had an agreement with the spanish king Filip 2. to conquer Denmark, and all danes who were not killed should be deported to Cayenne. At last Erik 14. became too much and his brother Johan had him arrested, and after a couple of years had him poisoned in a dish of pea soup.

Interestingly Gustavus Adolphus isn't known in Sweden as "the Great". Though honoured in 1633 - the year after his death on the Lützen battlefield - by the Riksdag with the epithet "the Great", he is nowadays only known as Gustav II Adolf or - for a slightly more familiar feel - just Gustav Adolf. (Maybe not exactly overwhelmingly interesting, but you know, it's at least something, and I think it's definetly indicative of the prevalent mentality in modern day Sweden. Meanwhile, our national anthem being a litteral ode in tribute of Gustav II Adolf military victories and the Swedish Empire created through them, is in and of itself - as well as in the intersection of the two - indicative of current Swedish collective mentality and the identity of the 21:st century Swede.)

Although reckless, a warmonger and over confident. Those certain characteristics Gustavus Adolphus attained as a king during his reign would become a necessity in the war effort against Emperor Ferdinand II insurrection against the Protestant states. Therefore administrating military reforms in the modernisation of the Swedish army and implementing different tactics that would gain a reputation as a force to be reckoned with. But it's still unfortunate that such a brave and energetic king like himself had to sacrifice his own life to prove a point.

In 391 Theodosius made it illegal to be pagan and punishable by death, apparently the Catholic Church only revoked this edict in 1962 , what were the laws in Protestant countries concerning this? Which countries in Europe were the most tolerant of pagans and when did non Christian cults stop being persecuted here? ....Hopefully Gustavus Adolphus is now having a nice time with Shiva, Odin, Zeus ,Christ and all his other friends in Valhalla !

I'm a pagan. Sweden never really adopted christianity in their hearts. I belive in nature, not in human gods. When i "pray" its to nature i turn to. They hold the ultimate power of us all.

For being heralded as a great tactician, He did not seem to have very many, only few in fact, victories.

Boy in Blue by Gainsborough, 9:31, was not a Swedish king.

I dunno...King Gus was great and all...but he was no vikingr king. Sweden wasn't Sweden anymore - it had let itself be homogenized into breeches-and-frock-coat Europe and lost its identity. Like how centuries of English control turned the Irish from Irishmen into "Englishmen but with an accent". Scandinavia should be *Scandinavian,* not someone else.
