Should he not be Karl II, though?

EDIT


Code:

	DIP = 7

}
Code:

}

Do we renumber succeeding Charles'? I suggest so, but of course I am no expert on Swedish kings. What is the consensus?

EDIT2: Actually, no - because doing so would mean we could then renumber French kings and then we get funny results... ??? :confused: :eek:o

There are a few random gaps in the monarch files for DAN, NOR and SWE - I'll go through and fix them later tomorrow. I'll renumber them as well. :)

Charles II died in 1470, mandead.

He was styled as Charles VIII by Charles IX to make Sweden have more kings and thus be a more powerful country. It was really just a PR thing. Even Charles VIII saw himself as just Charles II.
 
Sorry, I misunderstood the matter. :eek:o

@ Toio, (Karl II) because I (wrongly) thought they were regents for Charles II, and anyone who is a regent for a reigning monarch should have that monarch in brackets after the regent's name; see Philippe d'Orléans (Louis XIV) and Edward Seymour (Edward VI) as examples.

Again, sorry I misunderstood - those additions are therefore wrong as they were not regents for Charles II.

But... on the issue of renumbering in the case of previous fictional monarchs, should we do so?

@ Prinz Wilhelm, forgive me Kaiser. :eek:o

It's difficult... on the one hand I certainly suggest renumbering Nordic monarchs in the case of basing their regnal numbers on earlier fictional/legendary monarchs (in the case of Erik XIV, Karl VIII, &c.), but if we do this for the Nordic nations then we should also do so for other nations, at which point I worry about France as personally I see Hugh Capet as the first king (count of France --> king of France), but that is a whole other story and not for this thread. ;)

Yes, I saw them - I have no problem with these so long as you post them properly with IDs and stats, &c.

I don't know much of the era so have no issue.

EDIT: Do make sure all regents have their monarch in brackets, in Swedish/Danish or whichever is relevant.

Do you have some kind of easiliy availible source to confirm that?

From my point of view, he is always referred to as "Karl Knutsson (Bonde)" (Bonde was the family name that his family adopted later on) in history books. He is today commonly known as "Karl Knutsson (Bonde)". Naming him either Karl II or Karl VIII would look awfully wierd.

Toio said:
I think we need a start date of November 1448 instead of the June one, it does not sit well with me when soldiers elect someone king before the council/state or nobles have had a say. thoughts?
Well if the Wiki is true then "Charles was elected king of Sweden on June 20 and on June 28 he was hailed as the new monarch at the Stone of Mora", then the start date would indeed be in June. Being elected at the Stones of Mora is a good start date.
 
I may be well off the mark here, but should/could this event not convert Denmark to Protestantism?

Code:
#(1533) Count's Feud
event = {
	id = 3293
	random = no
	country = DAN
	name = "EVENTNAME3293" #The Count's Feud
	desc = "EVENTHIST3293"

	date = { day = 11 month = april year = 1533 }

	action_a = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME3293A" #Support Christian of Holstein
		[COLOR=Lime]command = { type = religion which = protestant }[/COLOR]
		command = { type = domestic which = MERCANTILISM value = 1 }
		command = { type = domestic which = ARISTOCRACY value = 1 }
		command = { type = relation which = SWE value = 100 }
		command = { type = relation which = SHL value = 100 }
		command = { type = revoltrisk which = 48 value = 8 }
		command = { type = stability value = -3 }
	}
	action_b = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME3293B" #Support Christian II
		command = { type = domestic which = ARISTOCRACY value = -2 }
		command = { type = domestic which = MERCANTILISM value = -2 }
		command = { type = sleepmonarch which = 042006 } #Christian III
		command = { type = wakemonarch which = 042016 } #His line ends with him anyway. #Christian II
		command = { type = relation which = MEC value = 100 }
		command = { type = relation which = POM value = 100 }
		command = { type = revoltrisk which = 48 value = 5 }
		command = { type = stability value = -6 }
	}
}

#-#When Frederik I died in 1533 the bishops and most of the aristocracy were initially opposed to the election of his son Christian, duke of Holstein, as new King because he was a Lutheran. The burghers and peasants on their part wanted a return of the deposed Christian II who was imprisoned at Sønderborg. The mayors of Copenhagen and Malmö devised a plan together with the Hansa to free Christian II and turn the two largest Danish cities into partners of the Hanseatic League. The Danish Council gained the help of arch-enemy Gustav Vasa to thwart the plot, which became known as 'Grevefejden' (The Count's Feud) because the rebel forces were led by Count Christoffer of Oldenburg.

As it stands, Denmark has no conversion events...

I'd rather have him as Karl Knutsson but he did indeed refer to himself as "Karl II". The Bonde part wasn't even used by him at all.

So it's either Karl II or Karl Knutsson (Karl Knutsson as when he is regent, of course)

I agree with you on the above. Rather Karl Knutsson than Karl II or Karl VIII.

How did this topic end up in the Danish thread btw? :D

Why use a name in AGCEEP that noone else uses?

Well, Karl II or Karl VIII - I am not too bothered on the numbering. You and your pretend kings... :rolleyes: :D

AGCEEP precident is to use normal names for regents/presidents, &c. and regnal names for monarchs.

EDIT:


"Referring to Karl Knutsson as Charles VIII is a later invention. The Swedish kings Erik XIV (1560-68) and Charles IX (1604-1611) took their numbers after studying a highly fictitious History of Sweden. Prior to Karl Knutsson Sweden had only had one king called Karl (Charles). Charles's coins therefore correctly refer to him as Charles II."

They are real d*mnit! :D

Yes, I understand. But the problem is that as far as I know, Karl didn't use any regnal number. The first one to do was Erik XIV, who reigned well over a century later. Thus naming him Karl II or even Karl VIII would be totally anacronistic and only serve to confuse people. He has always been known as Karl Knutsson (Bonde) so why change it?

Read the amendment to my previous post. :)

Says a wiki entry that doesn't even give you any references... :rolleyes:

Even wikipedia is confused. The article is filed under "Charles VIII" and the first sentence begins "Charles II of Sweden... a.k.a. Karl Knutsson (Bonde)". What do you make of it?

I'm not going to change my opinion until someone comes up with better 'evidence'. I still want him named 'Karl Knutsson (Bonde)'.

And so he shall be, as regent. ;)

A king should have a regnal name; the question is whether he ought to be II or VIII... he could be Karl II Bonde or Karl VIII Bonde, however.

There is an ongoing debate about nicknames, but if his seems to be universal as you say (and evidence of course backs you up here) then there's nothing wrong with giving him Bonde as a suffix. :)
