- Who was Gustav Vasa, and why is he an important character in Swedish History?
In this two-part series, we’re going to cover the life and legacy of Gustav Vasa. We will start by examining the final days of the Kalmar Union, and the rise of king Christian II of Denmark. Then we will cover Gustav Vasa's rebellion against the Danes and the creation of an independent Swedish kingdom.
Afterward, we’re going to learn about his 37-year long reign, and how he during his kingship transformed Sweden from a late-medieval semi-feudal kingdom to the modern state which in the early seventeenth century would become the Swedish Empire.

@@jesusirizarryrodriguez835 Hi, I have already done it, look in the videolibrary :)
This was incredibly fascinating and fun to watch
Happy to hear that man!
I was so excited when I saw your post on the Nordic History subreddit, since I find Swedish History really fascinating and there wasn't much video content related to the reign of Gustav Vasa apart from a documentary in Swedish, so I'm really glad to see quality original content about the period. I can't wait to see more of your work. Keep it up! :)
No doubt one of the best history channels on TH-cam! Very solid work again. Vasa was an important figure for us Finns too.
Many thanks friend, btw you do some really dope animations :)
May I ask why? I've never heard about that.
@@ThiasJ his reforms brought major changes to the realm which modern day Finland was part of. He's one of the better remembered Swedish rulers over here, I would say.
@@Anttimation Makes sense. Thanks my finish brother.
Of Course. Finland was an integral part of the Swedish Kingdom for six centuries. I visited Finland during my student time in Stockholm. I love your country, especially the language! Finnish language is fabulous.
It's frustrating how less your viewers and subscribers are. Hands down one of the best channels.
Agreed
All of Gustav's achievements pale in comparison with his epic beard. 😉
Aye, you're not a real Swedish ruler unless you embrace your viking heritage ⚔
As a swede im honored that you made this video about the Father of Sweden
From one Swede to another
Hilarious that you both speak English to each other. 🤣🤣
The Swedish accent is so thick too. Great video though, would love to see you do more.
From one of your British neighbours. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@oxman7 you can say that english is Sweden second language beacuse most people and even kids can speak english
@@wolf2912 Yea. Nordic people have great English.
Great video man, definitely a crafty political leader and successful governor, if not always morally upright
Thanks AA! Indeed, King Gustav was truly the Machiavelli of the North. Do you know if England have had any similar monarch?
Quill & Ink History Henry V of England fits the bill pretty well, so does Henry the 7th,
I think there’s also a good candidate in my next video, Robert Walpole not a king but, he’s definitely up there
Thanks for the video
I am a descendant of Gustav Vasa so it's great to learn about my ancestors
Descendant? Would you care to elaborate?
Are you? @@GustavafLindholmen
@@tristanolivernirvi-lien496 Unfortunatley, no.
@@GustavafLindholmen pity, I am apparently, don't know if what this guy says is true or not, but it is interesting to see how I am probably distantly related to this guy that I've never heard of.
I love that you cover parts of history others don't, your vids always capture my interest, keep up the awesome work!
Wonderful video, always nice to see one of your videos in my subscription box and I always learn stuff even if it's on subjects I thought I already knew everything, keep up the great work.
Happy to hear that :)
I love this channel so much
Very good video man
Great video! 😌🙂
Muy buen video!! 👌👏

Bästa kanal med historia jag känner och så underskattad: D Jag hoppas att du får fler följare. Hälsningar från broder Norge :)
Jag tackar och bockar broder min :)
Wow such a great video I liked this very much your TH-cam channel is the best channel on you tube. Your channel is the inspiration for other history lovers. I get much more knowledge than any book from your channel. Your all videos are full of Knowledge and wisdom. According to my account your channel is the best history channel of TH-cam. You definitely become number 1 channel on TH-cam in future. Your analysis is so good. So bro can you make a video on Skanderbeg please please
Sånn som dere svensker ville sagt "jättebra". Ekstremt underated.
Interesting. I agree completely, Gustav Vasa is the quintessential Machiavelli, truly a pragmatic chap.
Unlike Danish king Kristian and (specially) Spanish king Philip II (a tad later) who embarked on every war that came their way, ruining themselves in the process, he was diligent enough to remain consistent with a fundamental purpose. Namely, to unite Sweden, transform it into a functioning modern state and reform the military to protect the kingdom from neighbouring powers.
The stylistic differences with King Kristian had nothing to do with being at all merciful to his opponents (we are talking about the late Middle-Ages), but with employing violence effectively rather than systematically. Again, in accordance with Machiavelli's postulates.
I enjoyed your even handed presentation. His use of propaganda as a tool was quite interesting, nice work.
Thankyou Ruth. I often try to make balanced presentations and one of the ways I do that is by make sure I lift up aspects of a topic that I feel that I'm no excited to lift up. :)
10:42 "SWEDEN ALLIED WITH DENMARK" I thought I would never hear that
Awesome video. Is interesting how the king used the newly invented printing press for propaganda :)
👍👍👍
👌👌👌
Wow, never mind on the praise this user previously gave Gustav Vasa in the previous video and before then up until this point. He double-crossed Lubeck and the Hanseatic League and became as much of a pragmatist as George Washington, attacking his own people in order to maintain centralized power! He started off well enough, succeeding Sten Sture and taking down the Kalmar Union and Christian of Denmark, but then he goes and allies with the same people who killed his father and his people to take down free traders just for money and power? How many more "Anakin Skywalker falls" must people see before realizing that "government corrupts, and absolute government corrupts absolutely"?! 15:41 in, a Machiavellian leader is never what any imaginary country (which is every country, as communal property doesn't work and private property is pre-political) "needs". The free market fixes itself, and what IS "needed", perhaps now more than ever before, is "sound money", such as in the form of artificially-scarce, anonymous-by-default cryptocurrencies backed up by "Polycentric Law".
