The Swede’s King and Clergy In Reformation Era
A sweeping historical passage recalls a Danish king’s pardon and a clerical crackdown, the burial desecration of a late administrator, and church led governance. Gustavus the First narrows clerical power amid a Protestant shift, ending monastic favors and Rome’s grip. The narrative then shifts to King John III and Sigismund, detailing Papist restoration efforts, liturgical reforms, and a Protestant revolution backed by Duke Charles and the States, concluding with a crown settled on a Protestant line and clerical losses.
