Why is he not remembered at all? Despite being a great strategist and tactician even Swedes know little about him.

Because he was gay.

Because the swedish empire, apart from the 30 years war, was irrelevant for western europe.

well he's no Gustavus Adolphus

He kind of pales in comparison to the guy who beat him. I remember him, user. I remember Poltava.

Sweden doesn't really like to talk about anything that could possibly inspire nationalist feelings.

ummm because he's a f*cking white male?

Wrong Karl

you guys really need more types of names

Are you implying 16 Carl is enough?

How many carls do you want, carl carlsson bjornstrom?

Howdy.

Attrocious strategist. I like the guy for being one of our history's greatest military leaders but I find it absurd that anyone could possibly think of him as anything else than a complete and utter fuckup as a king and ruler

he was a fucking meme, Adolphus the great is best Swedish king

You spelt Karl XI wrong

He was the bitchboy of France.

He's a high elf.

>a great strategist
Have to disagree with this, turning against Poland instead of crushing the disarmed Russians once and for all after Narva was one of the greatest strategic mistakes in European military history.

You are very powerful
