  • War of the Fourth Coalition 1 War of the Fourth Coalition
    War of the Fourth Coalition 1 War of the Fourth Coalition The Fourth Coalition against Napoleon's French Empire was defeated in a war spanning 1806–1807. Coalition partners included Prussia, Russia, Saxony, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Many members of the coalition had previously been fighting France as part of the Third Coalition, and there was no intervening period of general peace. In 1806, Prussia joined a renewed coalition, fearing the rise in French power after the defeat of Austria and establishment of the French-sponsored Confederation of the Rhine. Prussia and Russia mobilized for a fresh campaign, and Prussian troops massed in Saxony. Overview Napoleon decisively defeated the Prussians in a lightning campaign that culminated at the Battle of Jena-Auerstedt on 14 October 1806. French forces under Napoleon occupied Prussia, pursued the remnants of the shattered Prussian Army, and captured Berlin on October 25, 1806. They then advanced all the way to East Prussia, Poland and the Russian frontier, where they fought an inconclusive battle against the Russians at Eylau on 7–8 February 1807. Napoleon's advance on the Russian frontier was briefly checked during the spring as he revitalized his army. Russian forces were finally crushed by the French at Friedland on June 14, 1807, and three days later Russia asked for a truce. By the Treaties of Tilsit in July 1807, France made peace with Russia, which agreed to join the Continental System. The treaty however, was particularly harsh on Prussia as Napoleon demanded much of Prussia's territory along the lower Rhine west of the Elbe, and in what was part of the former Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.

  • The Peace Treaty of Fredrikshamn and Its Aftermath in Sweden and Finland to Some Extent, the Chronological Manifestation of the Consequences
    The Peace Treaty of Fredrikshamn and its Petri Karonen Aftermath in Sweden and Finland By the end of 2009, in both Finland and Sweden the bicentennial commemora- tion of the dissolution of the common realm was drawing to a close. At the same time, what was being celebrated was the birth of an autonomous Finland. These commemorations have offered a rare occasion to explicate the annexation of Fin- land into the Russian Empire and the issues involved in it. Rather less to the fore has been the union of Sweden and Norway, which was also a consequence of the Finnish War of 1808–1809, at least when seen in a pan-European context.1 In what follows, I shall concentrate on analyzing the Peace Treaty of Fredriks- hamn of September 1809 and its consequences. Thus I will not deal with the Finnish War as such. It is widely accepted that the war in Finland was one of the side effects of the French Revolution and the chain of European-wide unrest and revolutionary upheaval that followed in its wake. We also know that relations between Sweden and Russia were relatively good at the turn of the nineteenth century, and indeed again soon after 1809. All these factors have a bearing on the Peace Treaty of Fredrikshamn. The war continued in Norrbotten and Västerbotten in the spring and summer of 1809, after Finland had been occupied by the Russian forces in the autumn of 1808. The Swedish defence was not made any easier by the fact that the com- manders of the main Swedish forces left their units to join the heated political game that was being played out in Stockholm, the consequence of which being Gustavus IV Adolphus’ deposition in March 1809.

  • The United Kingdoms of Norway and Sweden and the United Kingdom of the Netherlands 1814–1830: Comparative Perspectives on Politics of Amalgamation and Nation Building
    Scandinavica Vol 58 No 2 2019 The United Kingdoms of Norway and Sweden and the United Kingdom of the Netherlands 1814–1830: Comparative Perspectives on Politics of Amalgamation and Nation Building Ruth Hemstad National Library of Norway and University of Oslo Abstract This article discusses the politics of unification and consequential national reactions in two union states established in a transitional period in European history: the United Kingdoms of Norway and Sweden, a loose personal union from 1814, and the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, uniting the Northern and Southern Netherlands in a unitary state in 1815. Both state constructions were constitutional monarchies, led by ambitious rulers – Charles XIV John and William I. They had different means available for securing and strengthening their reorganized states; both applied a sort of politics of amalgamation in order to blend the two different national groups, in spite of the accepted status of the two groups as equal parts of the new state. This policy triggered national-based reactions on behalf of the non-dominant partner. This article will compare different aspects of the unification and state-building processes in these two regions, such as naming, mapping and cultivation of culture, which took place in the public sphere. Keywords union states, national identities, state building, naming, maps, regions 76 Scandinavica Vol 58 No 2 2019 Reconfigurations of statehoods usually lead to renewed names, revised maps, and reformulated political, historical and geographical narratives. Such reorganization of states in the age of romantic nationalism highlights the emerging awareness of cultural and national identities, demonstrating that cultural nationalism is intrinsically part of all kinds of nationalism, at least in its incipience (Leerseen 2006: 11; Leerseen 2018: 18–43).

  • I Am Descended from a Swedish King
    I am Descended from a Swedish King By Burks Oakley II 25 June 2019 Introduction I am descended from King Charles VIII of Sweden. My knowledge of this comes from a typewritten paper given to me by the Guttorp family, which is shown on the next page. This document is based on research done by Anders Malte* Viktor Guttorp (1890-1959), who was my first-cousin twice-removed. King Charles VIII This typewritten document shows Malte Guttorp’s line back to King Charles VIII, which goes through Malte Joachim August Brorström (1816-1877), who was my second-great grandfather: Who was King Charles VIII? Charles was the second Swedish king by the name of Charles (Carl/Karl), so he should have been Charles II – and indeed that is what he was called during his reign. I’ll get back to this below. Now I need to add that the Anglo-Saxon- Frankish variant of Carl/Karl is Charles. So this guy was born Karl but used the name Charles when he was king. Charles was the first Swedish monarch of the name to actually use a “regnal” number as Charles II.1 The designation Charles VIII is a posthumous invention, counting backwards from Charles IX (who was the king of Sweden from 1604–1611). Charles IX adopted his numeral according to a fictitious history of Sweden (coming up with a number of previous kings named Charles). So then they went back and retrospectively changed Charles II to Charles VIII. More Swedish Kings with the Name of Charles/Carl The current king of Sweden is Carl XVI Gustaf, and the Roman numeral XVI means that there have been a number of other Swedish kings named Carl/Charles since Charles VIII: Charles VIII – 1448-1457, 1464-1465, 1467-1470 Charles IX (Karl IX) – 1604-1611 Charles X Gustav (Karl X Gustav) – 1654-1660 Charles XI (Karl XI) – 1660-1697 Charles XII (Karl XII) – 1697-1718 Charles XIII (Karl XIII) – 1809-1818 Charles XIV John (Karl XIV Johan) (born Jean Bernadotte) – 1818-1844 Charles XV (Karl XV) – 1859-1872 1 A regnal name, or reign name, is the name used by monarchs and popes during their reigns and, subsequently, historically.

    January 2020 VIKINGS NYHETER Published by Viking Lodge 735, Vasa Order of America Founded 1985 A cold night in Kongsberg, Buskerud County, Norway source:Instagram Lucia 2019 Photos courtesy of Todd Peterson The French Bloodline of the Bernadotte Royal Family Jean Bernadotte was one of the many figures who took advantage of the power vacuum and the emergence of meritocracy after the French Revolution. However, Bernadotte distinguished himself from other upstarts of the Revolutionary era by being astute enough enough to abandon the sinking ship of Napoleon’s empire before it was too late. To this day, Bernadotte’s family reigns in Sweden. How did the dark-featured Catholic Bernadotte from the southwestern French city of Pau find himself on the Swedish throne, ruling over a country of Scandinavian, blond Lutherans? Like many if not most key figures of the Napoleonic era he rose to prominence through the army. Bernadotte began his military career under Louis XVI and rapidly rose in rank after the Revolution. During the 1790s he made a name for himself in battles along the Rhine and in Italy. Once Napoleon came to power, Bernadotte was made one of Napoleon’s marshals, or top generals. Although Bernadotte was one of Napoleon’s most capable generals they had a rather uneasy relationship. A dispute over who deserved credit for the French victory at Wagram (1809) led Napoleon to strip Bernadotte of his command on the battle field. After this dispute with Napoleon, Bernadotte returned to Paris where he unexpectedly learned that the Swedish had elected him crown prince and successor to the Swedish throne.

  • Of Kings •Srmatio on Berna and Evolu
    4 of Kings •srmatio on Berna and evolu MIKAEL ALM & BRITT-INGER JOHANSSON (EDS.) Introduction Bernadotte Reconsidered SOLFRID SÖDERLIND The French Marshal Jean Baptiste Bernadotte came to Sweden for the first time in 1810 after the riksdag (the assembly of the four estates) had elected him heir to the throne. By virtue of having been adopted by Charles xiii, he was a graft on the Holstein-Gottorp family tree, which through him would continue to hold the royal throne. Bernadotte was given the name Charles xiv John (Sw: Karl x/v Johan) as a symbol of continuity in a line of monarchs dominated by the names Karl/Charles and Gustav. Two hundred years have passed by since then, and to this day one of his descendants sits on the Swedish throne. Continuity is still demonstrated by the names Charles and Gustav, but in the list of kings the name Oskar has been added with the new dynasty. The link to the house of Holstein-Gottorp has also dropped out of general awareness, and today the dynasty is exclusively known by the name Bernadotte. How was it possible for a French soldier - a commoner — to inherit a royal throne in northern Europé, through successful power-play create a double monarchy, retain his position for a quarter of a century and finally pass on two united realms to his son to be handed on to the next generation? Bernadottes successful establishment of a new royal dynasty came about through considering domestic conditions. Also the new dynasty kept its hold despite the violent instability that marked the European continent.

  • University of Cambridge Conference 8-9 January 2019
    Dear Colleagues, It is with great joy that we welcome you as you convene in the hundreds from thirty-four countries and six continents to present papers on worldwide subjects in the disciplines of law, history, theology, philosophy and political science. We are happy and proud to bring together so many specialists and so amazing a richness and variety of research, and we thank you most warmly for coming sometimes from so far to share with us the result of your reflections. Around 1500, the year that marks the starting-point for our work, Europeans would have considered our event a consummate example of the sodalitates litterariæ, those large-scale, transnational communities of scholars that illustrated the humanistic ideal. ‘Monarchy & Modernity since 1500’: our conference title’s most important word is undoubtedly ‘&’. Formerly – before 1500 – in the West and elsewhere, monarchy was a political and theological obviousness. From the beginning of what historians call modern times, monarchy has come increasingly into question, even while it has itself become a reason for doubting modernity’s patent character. Across the centuries, Cambridge, the city where John Milton (Christ’s) and Robert Filmer (Trinity) were both students, has liberally fostered such common questioning. We are confident that it will once more be the site of original and stimulating reflections of the highest quality on this crucial subject. May your time here be the occasion of much learning and enjoyment as you exchange ideas with fellow scholars from all over the world. Yours sincerely, Carolina Armenteros and Philippe Barthelet Cambridge, 28 December 2018 1 CONTENT DIRECTIONS p.
