Pardon my inherent ranting on King Charles XII Of Sweden - he's just a really cool Swedish historical figure

Pardon my inherent ranting on King Charles XII Of Sweden - he's just a really cool Swedish historical figure | Charles XII of Sweden was the king of
Sweden from 1697 to 1718. He was 
the second child and the first son of 
Charles XI of Sweden and Ulrika 
Eleonora of Denmark. Charles XII 
spent his childhood amidst luxury. As 
a child, he was a keen observer of the 
political and military matters of his 
kingdom, while preparing to rule the
kingdom someday. His father passed
away in 1697. Hence, Charles XII 
inherited the throne of Sweden. He 
was 15 years old when he took charge 
after a 7-month rule by a caretaker 
government. In 1700, he faced his first
big challenge as a king when Sweden 
was attacked by three neighborhood 
kingdoms, who wished to take 
advantage of a weakened country and 
a young and inexperienced king. The 
war that resulted was known as the 
Great Northern War. However, Charles 
exhibited great military prowess and 
emerged victorious in several battles 
despite his forces being severely 
outnumbered. He, however, ended up 
losing his life while fighting in Norway 
in 1718. He was hailed by the 
historians as a great military 
commander and an able politician. | image tagged in fun facts with simothefinlandized,blank white template,charles xii of sweden | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
