Small point I'd like to make.
Grenades did exist at the time. They had for a while at this point.
They were usually hollow iron spheres filled with smaller balls to act as shrapnel. Filled with powder, a fuze with a seal around it.
Instead of pulling a pin, you light the fuze.
Think one of those old cartoon bombs that looks like a black ball.
Wile E. Coyote style.
Pretty similar to the cartoon bombs but smaller.
Charles's body has been exhumed on three occasions to ascertain the cause of death; in 1746, 1859 and 1917. The 1859 exhumation found that the wound was in accordance with a shot from the Norwegian fort. In 1917, his head was photographed and x-rayed. Peter Englund asserted in his essay "On the death of Charles XII and other murders" that the mortal wound sustained by the King, with a smaller exit wound than entry wound, would be consistent with being hit by a bullet with a speed not exceeding 150 m/s, concluding that Charles was killed by stray grapeshot from the nearby fortress. A 2022 study also found that iron grapeshot was likely to have killed the king, citing evidence from ballistic experiments as well as the absence of lead fragments in Charles's skull.
Academic research from University of Oulu and University of Helsinki concluded that Charles XII was likely killed by an enemy projectile.
He was 100% killed by one of his own. If you read about it and the "coup" that happened after and how a new king from a new line got to power after they forced his sister to abducate and the new king gave the nobels more power because of his death etc. A man also confessed to killing him, he shouted it from his window out to the streets because he couldnt bare the guilt, but then the nobels with new found power said he was sick and delerious. Also, the bullet goes from temple to temple, someone put a gun to his head and shot. The fortress was on a hill looking down the trenches, for the bullet to go temple throught temple the king m ust have had his head in a REALLY weird position. You can also look up photos from his skull, the exit wound is on the wrong side.
AND a person told a priest he had the "bullet" that killed the king but it was not a bullet, it was a copper button from one of the swedes uniforms. The priest told him to throw it away and never speak of it again. They also couldnt find any traces of lead in the kings skull. To many coincidences imo.
@@kingkraut4692 Look Carolus Rex did led from the front during 15 years of war, was a badass of highest rank, was shoot several times and survived, but it was only a question of time until his warrior luck did run out. The king was a romantic who wanted to marry out of love after the war, but the war did never end, so he did not have successor. Of curse people did make plane to take over then he did die.
You forget who become the new king, Carolus sisters husband. Maybe not a perfect choice, but better then a civil war for the crown. No need for grand conspiracy about the lack of lead, a grapeshot is made of iron. You also ignore that the entourage of the king never heard any shot. Hence grapeshot theory is the most probable.
Carolus Rex was a legend in his lifetime, and his "story" demand more then he was killed by a random shoot. The whole button-bullet is that the king was "hard" agents bullets, and did have mystical or divine protection, and only a part of him (like a button from his uniform) could kill him.
@@kirgan1000 i know all of that. Ulrika abdicated after carolus died and gave the throne to fredrik who had no right to it. And what did Fredrik do? He gave into all the demands of the nobles and gave them the power over sweden removing total monarchy. It was a coup
@@kirgan1000 no grapeshot was not made by iron wtf are you talking about. That is why they are sayong he was probably shot by scrap and the norweigians was low on ammo so they loaded everything they had such as forks and spoons etc. Grapeshot was bullets packed in sacks and fired from a cannon. Look at the wounds, it is temple through temple, the fortress was 608 meters above the trench he was in. How tf would a bullet go temple through temple. What kind of way would he have had his head positioned? Please... it is imo obviously a pistol put to the side of his head.
@@kirgan1000 the entourage of the king was ofcourse in on it. It was a coup, read about all the priviligedes they got later in sweden after. A guy admitted to killing the king but tje nobles hushed it down saying he was delirious from fever. There soldier mårten nordenstjärna said he saw the murder and saved the bullet.
I hope that even if Sabaton won't release the last track of the album "Ruina Imperii" you will hopefully make a reaction to it. Your reactions are wonderful to watch through and I hope to see for the final song of the album too! ^_^
The battlefield where he died was total chaos. Even though he had his guards surrounding him, only moments after he was killed, they noticed him lifeless. So it might had been an enemy bullet, an accident or an assassination.
i do believe some finish scientists discovered recently it was a Norwegian who shot Carolous
Yes acording to the study from Finland it was a norwegian that killed Carolus.
@@Agent-yl6jx it may have come from the Norwegian side yes,but if it was a Norwegian solider or Swedish soldier who fired it from that direction no one knows,also that doesn't really tell you who killed him as in the killers identity, only what side the shot might have come from.
Also if you look at some of the old images of the lay out of the Siege, the fortress was straight ahead of where Karl was so if the shot came from the left and exited to the right then it couldn't have come from the fortress and no Norwegian forces where stationed that close to the Swedish lines on left side,not to mention that muskets where highly inaccurate unless you where very close like around 200 meters however it was stated that it was at least 500 meters between the Swedes and the fortress so for a random Norwegian soldier to take a shot with a inaccurate musket and hit a clean shot to the head like that seems unlikely not to mention factoring in the weather etc and it being pitch black.
Karls surgeon claimed that the king had told him that the shot didn't come from the fortress,but from some one who was " lurking around." In one of the surgeons dreams before the event.
From what I've read it was most likely a Norwegian that caused it, but we will probably never know 100%.
Actually we do have a definitive answer because of one thing, the bullet that killed him was made of iron. Swedish bullets were made of lead. But Norwegian troops used musket balls made if iron
With the death of Carolus Rex, the grand dream of the Vasa dynasty went with him.
To dominate the Baltic Sea, and turn it into the Eastern Lake.
One thing I forgot to say in the poltava video. When this album was still under recording Sabaton had the OG members. With other words they had a keyboard player in the band. Side note Joakim the singer strated as the band keyboard player. But some parts in poltava that you thought was a guitar with a lot of different effects could have been a keyboard. Also as many people gonna tell you is that the mystery is solved. Acording to a study from Finland. It was a bullet made of iron that killed Carolus. The shoot is believed to been fired from over 200 yard away. But it Took 304 years before this mystery come to an end.
That’s still doesn’t tell us who shot him though. It could have been one of his own men for all we know.
@@caderiddle5996 in one way you right. In one way you don't. If the bullet has been fired from over 200 yards away. More exactly 200 meters. Which has been tested in this study with help from math and physics to be the only way to make that size of a hole. That would mean that a swede have to be on the norwegian side of the battlefield. Which is suicide. You have right in that we can't not know to 100% we was not there. But taken from the newest information about the event. I can't see how a swede go 200 meters away from the king. On the norwegian side of the battlefield. Didn't get find of the norwegian soliders. Killed the king going back to the fight. I don't believe that happend. But I can be wrong.
@@Agent-yl6jx moreover, at least one Swede would actually saw the Swede that shot him and possible arrested him
@@erichvondonitz5325 the thing is that the bullet is fired from 200 meters. 200 meters away in the direction the bullet was coming from are a norwegian fortress. Explain to me from that information how the swede killed the king from a norwegian fortress. Allso that is no one that was arrested for killing the king. If someone was arrested the death of the king would not be a mystery.
@@Agent-yl6jx ik, I was just talking about the comment that suggested it was friendly fire. It doesn't make sense.
Carl the 12ths death will always be a mystery. No one saw the king go down. All the officers were looking elsewhere all they heard was a wet thud. They turned to find the king dead, as a piece of metal passed through his left temple and out the right.
The most prevailing theory is that a piece of grape shot from an enemy cannon had killed him.
Others claim he was murdered by one of his soldiers. Carl by that time was deeply controversial, he had led Sweden to many military victories but close to the brink of ruin, and there were many liberal politicians who wanted Carl out of the way.
The last theory is that he committed suicide. Sweden was losing on every front and Carl had no way of winning at that point. So many believed he ended his life rather than live with shame of defeat. I however don’t believe this as it goes against Carls character.
Whichever you believe the mystery cannot really be solved and entered into the myth of Carl the 12th.

Small Correction for anyone who likes history:
Grenades did exist at that time.
Not in the form we know them as today but they existed for hundreds of years.
For example grenades were used in the Siege of Vienna ( 1683)
They have been very important in that battle.
So anyway
No hate on him ^-^
Just a small correction.
If anyone sees any mistake I made here, feel free to correct me.
Awesome video btw ^-^
Small edit: I just saw that somebody already made that point 😅
nice reaction as always my boi dave!
I absolutely LOVE this one, so powerful, and such a catchy chorus and amazing story
keep up!
I do hope Sabaton does a follow up album of Carolus Rex, still so many battles and stories to tell from this era of Sweden
Yet there’s so many historic events that hasn’t been enlightened. Why not the American Revolution or even the Civil war?
@@swedishgooner6339 American Revolution would be nice but the Civil War is already covered by the band Civil War (Ex-sabaton guys)
Your reactions are always interesting! Joakim's somewhat rough voice fits the song so perfectly, the chorus and the refrain are outstanding and the guitar work is of course awesome as always.
My guess was always Carolus Rex was killed from a grapeshot from the fortress. I guess there were wild rumors after his death, as it always is when a celeberty suddenly dies.
I was hoping you would react to this song. I love this song and the intro is pure fire!
I doubt it's solved,even if you could pinpoint it to a side that is only part of the mystery. It's like who really killed the red Baron.
There have been i think three different attempts by now to solve his death and the results varies from all three investigations. The newest ones points to Karl being killed by an enemy bullet but previously it was hinted that he was shot by his own so it's anyone's guess.
Like the lyrics said,a bullet in the dark means really nothing, a Swedish soldier could have shot him in the dark to make it look like was from the enemy side.
Grenades did exist during that time, though they were a mix of a flamable liquid, gunpowder in a glass ball like case, where after they threw the grenades would explode from the sparks formed from the glass shards and the the stone or pebbles in the ground. (those sparks would ignite the flamable gas and gunpowder further send glass shards everywhere).
Note: The Ottoman Empire was using them during their invasion of Austria.
I've always loved the opening guitar riff to this song.
Sadness rolls out of this song. I can see it on ur face. SAD.
Carl XII's death was actually recently solved through simulation of what a projectile would do being fired at diffrent ranges. It was the Noregians that killed him. And not one of his own.
And grenades did exist back then :)
Possibility he killed himself. 18 yrs of war. Hed lost his army in defeat.
The latest turn in the Carlous Rex death was that Finish scientist concluded that it must have been enemy fire that killed the king. That said, I am sure that will be questioned again but their claims seems trustworthy. My great great and so on grandfather was with the king on his final campaign so I am quite intrested.
You should know that just about 10% of the soldiers returned home from that campain. And most did not fall by bullets but frose to death up in the Swedish mountains close to were I live.
Also they think they have solved wosh side that fired the killing bullet. It was from the enemy lines based on the injuries and the weapon used.
if we cant even figure out what happened to palme or kennedy how is anyone going to figure out what happened to carolus...
🤣 true but looks like somebody did, reading the comments.
Swedish version is awesome ❤
gernades existed back when sparta rules greece and rome the persians were the first to addapt gernades aginst their sheilds but werent effective and pardon my spelling i just had 2 cups of coffee
grenades was made around the 700s
I really reccomend you check this album in swedish
Nice! Your voice is like a honeyed Morpehus from "The Matrix" movie.
fun fact we did discover resantly who killed Carolus and it was a Norwegian
3:55
Leader's.. As in our leader has, not leaders as the plural of leader.
The history of hand grenades were invented by the Mongols
Grenades did excist in that time yes
Yeah grenades have existed from earlier than guns.
Can you react to “attero dominatus” next please?
you talk to much bro
Yes I do.
Nope
He was 100% killed by one of his own.
