Oscar II : Den konungsligaste av alla kungar
Herman Lindqvist (Author)
There was no indication that Oscar II would ever become king. There was a long line to the throne before him. He bet everything on becoming a naval officer and a celebrated cultural personality, the prince of poets. But then he was offered four thrones in Europe, before in 1872 he became king of Sweden-Norway and quite unexpectedly our most royal of all kings. No one thrived as he did in the role of king itself, in the Sweden of Oskarian double standards. He fought to preserve the royal power and keep the union with Norway together. But he lost all his battles. He died bitter and disappointed. A new era began!
