Cheapest Generic Cialis Canadian Pharmacy 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. The Swedes, who urgently needed a king with military prowess, a had been impressed by Bernadotte’s kind treatment of Swedish prisoners during an earlier conflict. Although Napoleon did not support Bernadotte’s ascent to the Swedish throne, he did not oppose it either. Presumably Napoleon thought that Sweden under Bernadotte could be a reliable ally. Napoleon must have been disappointed. Upon arriving in Sweden, Bernadotte (who, as adopted son of King Charles XIII took the name Charles John) aggressively began to promote Swedish interests. In return for recognition of Sweden’s claim over Danish-controlled Norway, Bernadotte joined the Sixth Coalition, allying with Britain and Prussia against Napoleon. This obviously was a smart move. By 1815 Napoleon was in exile in St. Helena and Bernadotte was the prince of a kingdom which he had already doubled in size. Charles XIII died in 1818 and Bernadotte (who had converted to Lutheranism) acceded to the throne as Charles XIV John of Sweden and Charles III John of Norway. Although his reign had turbulent moments, he ruled Sweden until his death in 1841 at the age of 81. Unlike Napoleon, Bernadotte established a dynasty that lasts until this day with the reign of Carl XVI Gustaf. Indeed it is not hard to see the family resemblance between the current Swedish Prince Carl Philip, and his French ancestor. taken from historyfix.com images from Pinterest 2020 If anyone ever has anything of interest which they MEMBERSHIP DUES would like to share with the group and have it added to the monthly Nyheter, please send it on to Mike Bird should be paid now !! please post your check “[email protected]" made payable to “viking lodge 735” to did you know…….. * norway had only one tv channel until 1988 ANNE SCHEIRER * there is no equivalent for the word for ‘accountability’ in use in 801 Mountain View Road, the Nordic languages Reading PA 19607 * alcohol stronger than 4.7% can only be bought at a government-run store those who paid by december 31st will * the Norwegian word for boyfiend/girlfiend is gender neutral; be entered into a drawing to have ‘kjæreste’ (‘dearest’) doesn’t specify male, female, other. their dues reimbursed in full! * it is believed over 800,000 Norwegians emigrated to USA 2019 dues are $40.00 between 1825 and 1925.

  • ROYAL SCOUTS -5-, Denmark.)
    1 R0YAL SCOUTS -4- © Piet J. Kroonenberg, Amsterdam, March, 2006. SWEDEN When in Sweden the first Scouting troops were founded members of the Royal Family showed an interest and got involved. One of them was Folke Bernadotte, Earl of Wisborg, (1895-1948), a cousin of King Gustaf V Adolf (1858-1950). He was one of the first Swedish Scouts and later played an important role in national and international Scouting. He served his country as a diplomat and during the 2e World War (1939-1945). He was vice-president of the Swedish Red Cross and visited, on behalf of the International Red Cross, in Germany the camps in which the soldiers of Western Allies were held as Prisoners of War. He came in contact with the notorious Nazi Heinrich Himmler, the Reichsfûhrer SS, responsible for the concentration and destruction camps. When in Spring 1945 Nazi Germany was on the verge of total collapse, thanks to this contact – after difficult negotiations - he was able to collect and save approximately 15.000 concentration camp inmates. With the well-known Swedish White Busses they were transported to neutral Sweden via Nazi occupied Denmark. In 1947, he was appointed as the United Nations mediator for Palestine, where, after the founding of the State of Israel war had broken out. In 1948 he succeeded in arranging an armistice between the Israeli’s and the surrounding Arab countries. But in Jerusalem, on September 17th 1948 Folke Bernadotte was assassinated by a zionist, underground group, which considered him to be too pro-Arab. When his burial procession moved through the streets of Stockholm members of the Swedish Red Cross and Scouts marched in the procession.

  • Freemasonry in Sweden Freemasonry in Sweden
    168 Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Freemasonry in Sweden Freemasonry in Sweden Henrik Bogdan The French Period Freemasonry arrived in Sweden as early as 1735, when the lieutenant Axel Wrede Sparre opened a so-called private lodge on Riddarholmen in Stockholm. Like many other young Swedish aristocrats during this period, Wrede Sparre had been initiated into Freemasonry abroad – in Wrede Sparre’s case he had been initiated into a French-Jacobite lodge in Paris at the age of 23, in 1731. It was also in Paris that the future first Swedish National Grand Master, Carl Fredrick Scheffer, was initiated in 1737, and Scheffer would in November of that year receive a charter from Charles Radclyffe, Earl of Derwentwater, to open one or more lodges in Sweden under French obedience. In addition to this charter, Radclyffe provided a set of Règles générales (Sw. Allmänna frimurar- lagar), which regulated the work in Sweden. The 1740s marked a chaotic period in Swedish Freemasonry, with several different lodges competing for recognition, often either founded by foreign masons in Sweden (such as General Keith’s lodge 1743–44, and the Lodge of Kilwinning [Sw. Kilwinningska logen], set up temporarily in Ystad in 1746 by officers from the army of Charles Edward Stuart), or by Swedish Masons who had been initiated abroad. In 1752 Knut Posse founded the lodge S:t Jean Auxiliaire at Stockholm, which is usually credited as the first regularly consti- tuted lodge in Sweden (with a charter from count Clermont-Tonnerre), and in 1753 Wrede Sparre, who had opened the first lodge in Sweden, would join the lodge and turn over his charter from Radclyffe.

  • Sweden, the Crown of the State
    Sweden, the Crown of the state by Torbjörn LARSSON, Assistant Professor at the Department of Politica! Science of the University of Stockholm. The Head of State is not yet a king without a country but close to it. As Prime Minister Olof Palme said when the new constitution was introduced in 1974 : ''To­ 1 day the introduction of the republic is only a pen stroke away" • According to the new consitution, the Parliament does not have to automatically select a new royal family if the King and all the members of his family should die along with all the other legitimate heirs to the crown. That this should occur is not, very likely, however. To begin with, some precautions have been taken to prevent the royal family from becoming extinct. In 1979, the non-Socialist majority in the parliament decided to drastically change the law of succession, a constitutional law, which 2 had not been changed significantly since 1810 . The amendment gave royal family members of the female sex the same right to the crown. Under the old constitution, only male heirs could claim it. The direct line of succession was maintained, how­ ever. The initiative to change the constitutional law of succession was taken by the non-Socialist parties in Parliament. As was hardly surprising, the Social Democrats and the Communists abstained from voting on this issue, but, perhaps more as­ tonishingly, the King did not seem to be in favor of this change, although he did not voice this opinion until after the birth of his second child, a boy.
