124. Karl So Far

124. Karl So Far

Flatpack is back!

After our break we thought it would be good to jump back into the timeline with a recap of one our current main characters, Duke Karl. We look at how his upbringing as a son of Gustav Vasa prepared him for rule. Also, how did watching two of his brothers mess up being king prepare Karl for fighting his nephew for the throne. Let's get ready for the 1600s! You can find out more information about the podcast on our website, send us an email and follow us on social media here:
