In fact, the arrogance was bright, but they lived in a pure Monarchy of Divine right, saying like they were of royal blood, so God chose them to represent him onto the "mortal world", their choices were unquestioned ans their saying were like God spoke in their mouthes.
@@dennisdegraaf1102 The line is there because up until Carolus the kings responded to the authority of the church. Carolus said he had divine right by God's will, not because the church choose him, to weaken the church's hold upon the nation.
@@Alex_And_Re I think you meant something else. Bright means smart or clever. Also, as said below it is in fact a reference to how Carolus said the divine right came straight from God and not because the church willed it. He basically declared nobody but God was above him.
17 year old hacks pentagon. 12 year old builds nuclear reactor. 15 year old devastates Europe. We need to try harder to be as badass as a kid as this guy
My friend: dude, this homework is imposible- Me: you know that carolus the 12th former king of of sweeden has won the great northen war, (sweeden vs denmrak, russia, and poland, explining to said friend) while being just 15 years old? Nothing is out of reach.
@@moonshine3678 He forced the danes and poles into submission and peaced them out in 1 year, plus he sent the russian armies reeling back home to get a major overhaul. Yeah, no, he won fair and square, that loss was because the russian dragon is one stuborn brick and some miscalculations.
Today is the 300th year anniversary of Charles’s death. My school principal commemorated him over the announcements today, which I found particularly strange because it’s an American school. It just goes to show how Charles made an impact on the world.

So youtubes translate option made your comment into this xD "No allegiances 1 will not Sweat oath! Crowned by God and not the Church as my Power is divine! " Chills ..."

@@pilotpirx3051 Well, the entire Carolus Rex, Coat of Arms, and Art of War Albums are all worth listening to. As far as specific songs, this song is a good start. Other good ones are Panzerkampf, 40:1, Lion of the North, The Last Stand, When the Winged Hussars Arrived. Most of their stuff is good so you have a lot of options.
So I had metallica in the background when playing on mu computer, and I heard mom tell me the food is ready. I left my headphones on the desk, and now, after about an hour I come in my room and hear this playing in the headphones. This is one of my favourite songs of all time
I kid you not, LITERALLY RIGHT AFTER SABATON SAYS "see Carlous Rise" for the last TIME, THERE WAS A LIGHTING STRIKE AND LOUD THUNDER LITERALLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER HE SAYS "RISE" AT THE END. THIS IS THE GREATEST THING EVER MY GOD
if only daddy carolus had brought a bulletproof helmet to norway ;( or even better, if his virgin generals like lewenhaupt listened to the chad carolus and ultrachad rehnsköld, and the beta captains didn't get lost in the forests at potlava :/
@@b2crazyeye Tbf when they exiled Napoleon the first time, the absolute chad just went back to France, and when confronted with the French army, he just went ''Come on then, shoot your Emperor!'' the army then joined him and they took Paris. He was such an absolute chad, that the European powers declared war, not on France, but him.
Every time I hear this I imagine a dramatic montage of Carolus Rex being coronated, sitting down, looking badass, looking at his scribes, and saying "It's time."
@@paulkaiser5930 I know right lol, if you want to reply to him, you literally have to agree in his opinion :V @It's true Trump has a small PP, but (comments) Looooool
+Hunter2011Killr He is no villain for defending himself. The problem is he didn't know when and where to stop and he underestimated the potential of the Russian Empire. He was a wonderful tactician, brave and he was one of his men and not one giving the orders n leaning back. Still somehow he was full of anger n quested revenge even when all odds were against him. He could have won the Prussians as an ally but rejected them and therefore was faced with them fighting for the opposite side. I do think he had faith in Jesus Christ but he should have listened a little more towards him :D
originalThePlague He was really butthurt that they attacked him like that and wanted them to pay. If he settled for the "no changes" peace he would have gotten with Russia, Sweden might have managed to remain a great power a bit longer.

I was playing this in eu4 as Sweden while I was fighting Denmark, Poland, Livonian/Teutonic orders, and Norway. My king was 15 years old coming off a regency, and had 5 shock, 4 maneuver, and 2 siege. We had 18,000 men against the enemy 60,000. We won. SEE CAROLUS RISE!
The Kings name was Karl the 12th and Karl is indeed the Sweden version of Charles. His enemies refered to him with the latin verion: carolus rex (Or so we are to believe, at least).
@@tornadoblast Yes, but, in Swedish it's Karl XII. Some people say Charles, some people say Karl, some people say Carolus. They all are the same thing, but, different languages.
How about a movie about Franz Stigler and Charlie Brown with No Bullets Fly, or on about the battle that Panzerkampf was about, or one about Battle for Castle Itter and The Last Battle, or just any WWII incident movie that was featured in a Sabaton song
Yeah sure so that they would push left wing agenda by putting black ppl, asian ppl, single moms, badass bionic michelle rodriguez, and the king as a trangender pro immigrant protagonist while peter the great as white supremacist with british accent painting him as a bad guy even tho it doesn't make any sens, so no thx
I swear, every country that is remotely cold has had and Empire! The Glorious British Imperium, The Holy Swedish, The Russian, The Vast Mongolian and The Byzantine Empire!
Fun fact: Charles technically could have won the Great Northern War had he considered peace negotiations. However, he really did want to end a war by literally defeating all of his enemies. From Wikipedia: "At this point, in 1707, Peter offered to return everything he had so far occupied (essentially Ingria) except Saint Petersburg and the line of the Neva, to avoid a full-scale war, but Charles XII refused. Instead he initiated a march from Saxony to invade Russia"
No, the Wiki is right on this one. Sweden's national power was explosive at this point and Russia had other things going on (i.e. the Ottomans) Karl was a bit warbitten at this point though.
@@sgauden02 Had he accepted such a peace treaty [giving away Saint Petersburg] he'd better start building A TON of warships; with Russian access to the Baltic sea (which was essential to the Swedish Empire) and the traditional enemy of Denmark on the other end.. well, it's pretty much good night for the Swedish Empire by then. Of course, Charles XII knew this better than today's children, thinking they know everything about 18th century warfare..
@@Leaffordes true that. But he was a really bad diplomat. He refused many times peace offer and alliance offer from the commonwealth. He could have accepted the guy as the king in exchange of his alliance and of the lands he was promised by the polish and invade russia together with the polish forces. Instead he kept claiming the polish throne for his puppet and fough much larger forces in enemy territory for years.

This guy really had a masive impact, even the Latvian word for "king" is "karalis" because of him. Edit: Actually yeah, probably because of Charlemagne, but you can't blame me for thinking it was because of him:P
I guess is is more because of Charlemagne, especially since in most languages nearby word for "king" also comes from that name and it originates from Charlemagne's name.
@@pyroparagon8945 well Charlemagne lived long before Carolus and Latvia probably had kings before Carolus so its probably more likely to come from Charlemagne

Peter Jacobsen "Dude, Piscator... you are really awesome at making these lyrics man" Your comment says otherwise. Maybe changing 'lyrics' to 'lyric videos' would be better.

Really? Strange..I don't think I was wearing a 17th century military uniform of blue and yellow while holding a Swedish Empire flag before this song started..

Şişman Kapitalist During the siege of Orleans (1429, 25 years before the siege of constantinople), cannons were used. Furthermore, the french army was lead by Jeanne d'Arc who was 17 (and who died two years later at the age of 19). So, according to your own criterias, the siege of Orléans is greater than the siege of constantinople
I played this in my house real loud. Hearing this song: IKEA table legs become muskets Meatballs become grape-shot The vodka in the fridge trembled in fear. Rolled up IKEA carpets become cannon barrels The sky had sunset where there was a orangeish cross against a darkish blue sky I shouted "To the skiiiiiiiieees see Carolus rise!"

Charles XII was in fact 17 when the great northern war started, (he became king at 15 tho), it is said that he was hunting bears in the woods (with melee weapons) when a messenger arrived and told him that the war had broken out. But Charles XII was like "okay" and continued to hunt bears before he returned home. Then he started up the carolean army which was among the strongest in the whole world at the time, he had turned 18 when the carolean army landed at Humlebæk north of copenhagen which caused denmark to make peace. He then travelled to the city of Narva in Estonia and took part in the battle of Narva which was a huge victory for the Swedish Empire, some of the flags taken in that battle can today be seen in the Swedish Army Museum in Stockholm. For those who want some more facts about Charles XII, here is some more. He once took part in some wild excesses once in 1698 together with his cousin, he rode a horse in stockholm and yanked wigs and hats off people, he also threw out furniture from the castle windows. He owned several dogs, some of them were called Pompe, the first pompe died in 1699 and is buried in the park outside Karlberg castle in stockholm. He had a very good looking Coronation wagon built in 1699 which is still preserved today on a museum in Stockholm (for thoose who want to see how it looks like, here it is sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_B%C3%A9rain_den_%C3%A4ldre#/media/Fil:Kr%C3%B6ningsvagnen_-_Livrustkammaren_-_29883.tif )
"If you have a time machine, what will you do?" Others : I will go to future and see the new technology! Me : *NO KING CHARLES DON'T PEAK OUT THE TRENCH!*
Funny thing is a french soldier that was with him said that when Charle was looking over the trenches but a Swedish officer told him that would just make him get more out of the trenches
Let me tell you last years of the Carolus Rex. (Charles XII) After his defeat at the battle of Poltava against Russians, Carolus fled to the Ottoman Empire, where he set up camp at Bender city with some 1,000 of his soldiers. The Turks initially welcomed the Swedish king, who managed to provoke a war between the Ottomans and the Russians. His expenses during his long stay in the Ottoman Empire were covered by the Ottoman state budget, as part of the fixed assets (Demirbaş in Turkish), hence his nickname Demirbaş Şarl (Fixed Asset Charles) in Turkey. Demirbaş, the Turkish word for fixed asset, is literally ironhead (demir = iron, baş = head), which is the reason why this nickname has often been translated as Ironhead Charles. This was not a cool nickname, contrarily it was used for mocking. Sultan of that period (Ahmed III) subjects in the empire eventually got tired of Charles' scheming. His entourage also accumulated huge amounts of debts with Bender merchants. Eventually "crowds" of townspeople attacked the Swedish colony at Bender and Charles had to defend himself against the mobs and the Ottoman Janissaries. The Janissaries did not shoot Charles during the skirmish at Bender, but captured him and put him under house-arrest. There is a Turkish saying about such situations. ''You can't sell it, you can't throw it away.'' So the Sultan said it for the Carolus. Eventually, Carolus agreed to leave Turkey and return to Sweden where he would lost his life in a final battle. So Carolus wasn't known such badass in Turkey. But the Sabaton and the song is.
armagan gunduz it is reported that one day a Turk laid his hand on Charles’ shoulder, and said, ‘Why did not Allah give us a Sultan like you ? With you at our head, we should have conquered the world.'
They are telling the story. If you listen to the album as a whole, sure it is great to have a warrior king (this song), but when he falls, the Empire dies with him (another one in the album).
@Half life 3 I wish you the best of luck, my European brothers, I shall take the front here in America against those who wish to destroy me and my American brethen! #EuropeForEuropeans #TakeBackWhatWasOnceYours
I sexually identify as Carolus Rex. Ever since I was fifteen years old I dreamt of rising to the skies. People say to me that I'm too young to rule the land but I don't care, it's my time to rule at last and I have been waiting fifteen years for this. Neither God nor the Church is going to command me as my power is divine. From now on I want you guys to guys to call me: "chosen by heaven" and respect my right to make them bow to my will with the Lord my protector. If you can't accept that I am born to rule you're a monarchophobe and you need to understand that was I say was said in Heaven, and so it shall be done. Thank you for understanding that my will must be done
