Kingdom: Swedish Rulers

Finally, after 30 episodes, it's time for a woman ruler! And not just any woman. Margareta is born a Danish princess and her journey to the Swedish throne is quite a remarkable one. So remarkable in fact, we need two episodes to cover it. In this first one, we will see Margareta using her skills to manoeuvre both her son and herself to tremendous positions of power across all three Nordic kingdoms.

Albert's dad, confusingly also called Albert, gives him the throne of a foreign country. But what will our Albert do once he has an entire realm to rule by himself? The most important question is though; why is nobody turning up to his meetings?

The second son of Magnus IV was perhaps more successful than his brother Erik XII, but does that mean he scores more points? He had to deal with his brother's rebellion, his father's capture by Albert of Mecklenburg and a whole bunch of stuff to do with his rule over in Norway. Plus at the end he had a formidable woman by his side too. Lots to talk about this week!

Erik XII doesn't spend too much time on the throne, as we saw last time in his father's episode, but he does manage to get up to a fair amount of stuff. Plus, rebelling against your father to get there in the first place is a pretty big deal. But how will we judge him when it comes to the categories?

The Black Death has arrived in Sweden and promises to upend Magnus IV's reign. Add in money woes and problems in the family and you get a choatic mix that even the best rulers of medieval Europe would struggle to deal with. But how does Magnus go about dealing with all of this and will he come out of it with The Three Crowns on his head?
