If you ever go to Stockholm don't forget to visit the museum that lies beneath the castle of Stockholm, it keeps Carolus's uniform that he was wearing the day he got killed along with his sword and other things. 300 years later and you can still see the mud and blood on his uniform. It feels unreal! Thank you for reacting to this awesome song btw. You should actually do the entire album, both in English and Swedish, you will not regret it.

Great. Still want to propose "The Caroleans prayer" as well, from the same album. :)

Not sure if it has been requested yet or not but Long Live the King is a great song about Carolus's death.

You should listen to their swedish versions on this album the have more personal feeling ^-^

The Swedish empire tend to stick with people in history class. Long live Charles XII. Long live Gustav Vasa. Long live Gustav II Adolf.

Just stumbled upon you today and got super excited when I saw how much love you are giving to Sabaton. I was fortunate enough to get to see them in concert last October. They were absolutely amazing live! It was the second best concert I've ever seen. Oh, and bonus!! Hammerfall opened for them. They were so good!!

This Is so awesome! I love this channel! You should definitely check out Extra History , they have alot of information especially on Charles, Bismarck, and Otto Von Bismark the man the ship was named after plus other great historical moments

Carolux Rex was, I think, was the greatest king in Scandinavia since viking age. Me, as a norwegian have no problem saying that. The swedes are our brother neighbour. In Carolus' time we fought against his army, without meeting him on his strongest. He died, norwegians believe, from a canistershot from the norwegian fortress at Fredrikshald, though there has been, and still is much speculation about this. Did he die from a shot from one of their own exhausted soldiers? Nevertheless, this song, Carolus Rex is a good start for the reactionvideos about him, and I hope you carry on with the songs A lifetime at war, The Carolean's prayer ,and at last the song about his death: Long Live the King. Keep up with the great work. Love it.

The Carolean's Prayer and the Lion from the North are from the same album. You should add them to your list.

Knew you would like this one! Great video! :)

3:45 What you have possible overlooked At this time the Caroliner, Swedish troops, were drilled, disciplined, like no other in Europe. Stoic march into cannon fire

If this chorus doesn't get stuck in your head on repeat, nothing will.

He was young, but change military tactics, prolly one of few studied at West Point

BTW early Swedish kings were really awesome. Gustaf II Adolf basically modernised warfare in europe. Gustav X AKA Karl X was a veteran from 30 year war were Sweden were a major power was took the name Karl X and statred the caolean line anew. His predecessor Karl XI basically built up Swedens military power to the max to constantly have battle trained veterans at the ready with an isntistution called "indelningsverket" which is a precursor to todays way of having a standing army. Every farm in the state were required to feed x amount of soldiers that had to work in the farm for living until he was made a veteran when he could own his own farm. This soldier were given a cow and a pig and some hens and a patch of land and payed a soldiers payroll he war required to train regularly with his unit and when called to service he would go to his barracks for assignment. That made the army Karl XII took over an awesome and well trained army basically full of well trained soldiers with high discipline. Compared to Russias or other nations called conscripts. Great Britain took this tactics of Sweden and standing army doctrine to heart and thus the red coats were born. Sam is true with the Prussian army. Prussians also have being former Swedish lands a great connection to Swedish society, laws and tactic.

Nice reaction.

Now you have listened to this you have leveled up as a sabaton fan. Next level: En tid styrd av mörker och krig, En legend beskriver ett lejon! Jokes aside, could you add no bullets fly to the list? Great song about a great event.

monsters of rock 2017 they played this with an orchestra. there's a video somewhere

He reminds me of Lawrence Sonntag.

you still have to react to A lifetime of war , Lion from the north.. the whole dang album is awesome.

Sabaton with orchestra you say? They have been doing that for last 2 or 3 years at Masters of Rock. Try looking up some live MoR songs.

If you want a choir involved, then both Great War and Ruina Imperii are great candidates

SVEA RIKE!!!!!

Carolux was the swedish King Carl the 12:th,not Charles, the Carolines was the name of his soldiers who was brutal agaist everything and every one

If there came bomb or bullet and hit someone the Carolines still go forward...the russian get scared, the Carolines don't run away. They do run when the russian at last have 3 army's, to many to beat.....

You should listen to Civil war - I will rule the universe

If you want to see Sabaton live with orchestra check out their song Sparta live

Is this: Erection ? Edit: Sabaton has played with orchestras before :>

Charles XII (Karl in swedish) ended the Swedish Empire. You can tell the story of said empire through 3 generations of kings with this simple rhyme: Charles X created it, Charles XI enhanced it, Charles XII ruined it.

I know why your throat gets twisted :). You try to sing whilehaving your moth closed happens to me too with sabaton songs. You sing and the vocal chords are moving but your moth is shut :). You want to sing but dont. U know what i mean. :) Respect from Sweden
