We're nearing the end of King Johan's reign, but there's still time for him to try and sort out the issues surrounding his son Sigismund, and the Polish succession. After years of strife and arguing over religious reform, added to the trials of war abroad, Johan isn't sitting on a large pile of political capital, and so has to struggle with the Swedish nobility. Plus, someone has the bright idea to actually count how much money is left in the treasury!

After much back and forth, it is time for King Sigismund to face his uncle Duke Karl in battle for the throne of the Sweden.

The end of the 1500s is fast approaching, but there's still time for some classic Swedish history events! This time we see a peasant revolt, religious turmoil as the Archbishop goes on a tour of the country and of course some more family feuding in the top dynasty of the country.

For the first time since his father Johan III died, Sigismund is back in Sweden and looking forward to his coronation as ruler of Sweden. But before that happens, he needs to agree on some rules with the Swedish regency council and deal with the fallout of a big religious meeting in Uppsala. Will Sigismund become a slave to the Swedish nobility and why is his child being held hostage by the Polish council? We also take the time to finish off "The Long Wrath" or even the "Nordiska tjugofemårskriget" in Swedish!…

Following in the footsteps of your father, who also happens to be the first king of Sweden, can’t be easy. Anund certainly has his job cut out for him, but he has learnt a few lessons from his dad Olof Skötkonung that he puts to good use. Will it be enough for him to walk away with The Three Crowns?

For some reason the first upload of this episode didn't work on the Flatpack feed, so here's the re-release! It is time to judge our first ever ruler, the first king of Sweden, Olof Skötkonung! We cover the life of this interesting character who straddled eras, as we enter a country in the dying days of the Viking period. Will Olof do enough to win the coveted Kingdöm prize of The Three Crowns, or is his life story a bit of a bore?

43:33

No, this title isn't the name of an old Swedish folk band, but rather part of the theme of this episode: King Johan's dealings with religion! The King had been both academically and spiritually interested in religion for a long time, but now it is time for him to make some changes. The problem is, even though he has support from people like Abbey Joe, a lot of the country think the changes are too catholic for their liking. Oh, and a monster terrorises a lake near Västervik. Maybe...…

King Erik recovers from his insanity long enough to tell the Council he's married his lowborn girlfriend Karin. There's no honeymoon period for the happy couple though, as this tips the already angsty nobility into outright opposition. With Erik's two brothers also on their side, things will turn violent pretty quickly. Plus, some breaking news! On New Year's Day, we're launching a brand new podcast called Kingdom. We're going to be judging and ranking all the Swedish Kings, Queens and Regents in the "Rexypod" format! More news in this episode and on our social media channels: Bluesky Facebook X…

Well, where do we start? In this episode, King Erik completely loses all grip on reality and others will pay the price. What can the Swedish state and nobility actually do when a monarch goes on a killing spree? The events over a few fateful days in 1567 will go down in history as The Sture Murders. Find out why!

Denmark and Sweden come to blows once again and both kings are eager for some quick successes. But alas, the armies mainly end up chasing each other back and forth across Scandinavia and dying of starvation or disease...

Gustav Vasa is dead. His son Erik calmly takes control over Sweden and is crowned King in an elaborate coronation. The new King has some changes he wants to make and new advisors he wants to put in charge. His ideas will annoy some people, especially his younger brothers; but how bad can it be?
