Invasion of Sweden: Prelude to the Polish-Swedish War 1566-1600 (Pt. 1)

In 1566 a baby was born to unite two kingdoms. This child was called Sigismund, son of the Polish princess Catherine Jagellonica and John III of Sweden. Young Sigismund was raised by his father to link the two kingdoms his parents descended from. Later, when he was crowned, Poland and Sweden were indeed united under one ruler for a moment in time. But peace was not to last. Sigismund would prevail in Poland but fail in Sweden. The attempt of uniting the two states led Sweden and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to fight a series of wars for more than 30 years known as the Polish-Swedish Wars. This video explains how modern historiography recounts Sigismund’s failed attempt to secure power over both, the Kingdoms of Sweden and Poland.
