Nostra Mare - A Swedish aar

[Syt]

Hm, it looks like the Turks are doing pretty good in your game.
And England...

 

[Norgesvenn]

Ah, Sweden... the country actually exists in this AAR...

The story has a very nice quality, as it reminds me of a Jan Guillou documentary.

And your perverting the history of Scandinavia actually gave a nice chuckle.

Christian I had done a similar thing to gain the Norwegian crown, he married the widow queen of Norway, Margarethe

Yep, they're sleeparounds, those Danes...

Good going, nattochdag!

perverting? I do not understand, are you accusing Alf Åberg of being a liar?

Carolus Rex, I was going to use Herman Lindqvist instead, but then I remembered good 'ole Alf. Much cooler guy

Hmm..what about Hans Villius?.."to the left a man in his early thirties, he has just been to the shop, the groceries are visible beside his wife, Olga, the wife 32 years old, have just been to the hairdresser..", et cetera..

hmm, had forgotten about him..
Oh well, Alf is not a bad choice, methinks.

He will come in handy later aswell.

It´s a nice start, I also like the "historian" approach. I just wonder when the next installment´s due...

As well all sit around the TV on Wednesday night, and turn to SVT 1, we see a familiar face, Alf Åberg! What does he have to say?

Part II -

As you were told in the last episode, Denmark-Sweden was at war with France and many of the states within the Holy Roman Empire. Why? The previous decades Denmark had won many victories in the northern parts of the Empire, currently occupying Holstein, Bremen, Oldenburg and Hinterpommern. They had also wrestled Prussia and Estland from the iron clad hands of the Teutonic Order. Therefore, Christian II had many enemies. The emperor, Karl V, had sent several letters to Christian, telling him to cede his german territories back to their dukes and bishops, or the Emperor would take them back.

Now, the second enemy, France, why did Denmark-Sweden pose such a threat to the French? In the 1500’s, More than half of France was in English hands. Denmark-Sweden was at the time allied to England, and the French were most likely not so thrilled at the idea of a strong Denmark-Sweden in its back. It is known that the French king, François I, had hopes of help from the Habsburgs against England, therefore, France attacked Denmark-Sweden.

Next episode, learn why Christian II should beware the written word.
