So, there's this extremely debated king in my country. I thought it would be nice to tell more people outside of Sweden about the crazy shit he did and why he was so different from all the other monarchs of his time.
here's an aesthetic collage i made for him, check it out if you wanna ;))basically, he was prince Charming (geddit ;)) he is described as having deep blue eyes, brown hair, broad shoulders, full lips and a slim waist. also, he was 174 centimeters tall which was pretty cool at the time
when he was only 12 years old, his mother, Ulrika Eleonora, died. she had been giving birth to 7 children for 7 years but only Sofia Hedvig, Charles and Ulrika Eleonora (the younger) lived to adulthood.
she was said to be "the most lovable creature ever to sit on a throne". she wanted her funeral to be simple so the money could get donated to the poor instead. when her husband, Charles XI, approached her coffin, he regretted the coldness he had treated her with and said "here i leave half my heart".when he was 14, Sweden lost it's king, and Charles lost his father.
