Last time on Kingdom, we covered king Valdemar, meaning we are one third of the way through ranking all of Sweden's rulers 😱

This Sunday we look back at the first of our three "eras" of Swedish history, which we have arbritrally created, and see who has been the best in our various categories! 🤔

Ep 34 "Friends Reunited". Domenico Michiel's tomb calls him "The terror of the Greeks". The Historia Ducum Venetorum calls him "a warlike man ... who slaughtered many enemies". But he also invented municipal street lighting. A man of many talents, then.👑

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a book on the history of Carolingian & post Carolingian Italy? Something that gets deep into affairs of Spoleto & Tusculum & Teofilati family & such?
