In this review episode, we look back at all the rulers we have covered so far to see who is leading the way and who is lagging behind. Which ruler was the most sinful, who wielded an iron fist in Stormakt and who was the best at Flatpack? We answer all those questions, as well as look into which dynasty was the most successful and how many Meatballs we have created!You can find out more information about the podcast on our website, and follow us on social media here:FacebookBlueskyTwitterP.S.

22. Valdemar
Valdemar was placed on the throne by his father Birger Jarl when he was just a boy, leaving his father to run the kingdom on his behalf. Birger actually keeps control until he dies, meaning Valdemar doesn't really get to take charge until his late 20s, despite being king for over 15 years by that point. Will he get up to anything spectacular in the second half of his story though?Check out the Flatpack episode about Stockholm right here on Spotify or wherever you find your podcasts.You can find out more information about the podcast on our website, and follow us on social media here:FacebookBlueskyTwitterP.S.

21. Knut the Tall (II)
We covered all of Knut's short reign last time around as he split Erik's rule over Sweden into two separate reigns. But did Knut get around to doing anything we didn't mention last time and was he really that tall?

19. Johan I
We've already seen Johan play a starring in his father's reign as "The Trouserless Jarl" but what will the lad get up to now he is the monarch? He witnessed his dad Sverker II's reign come to a crushing end at just seven years old, so he'll be keen to at least do better than that. At least he has the lovely Näs castle to visit from time to time and get away from it all... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
