Sweden’s Reforming Prince Elevation Ignites Protestant Unity
A 1721 chronicle highlights a throne birth of a Swedish prince from a Reform’d lineage, hoping to unite Lutherans and Calvinists against common foes and bolster Protestant interests across Europe. It also recounts the Spanish Africa expedition, Ceuta’s siege relief, and the shifting alliances that followed, including Alberoni’s fall and the Quadruple Alliance terms signed in early 1720.
