The Trump topic next week: Threatening Iran with war. (A necessary distraction. Tariffs and all that.) Not rocket science.

Today we have a brand new episode of Kingdom: Swedish Rulers for you! This time we look into the life of Magnus I, a king who spent more of his time and energy focusing on his father's rule down in Denmark. But what will this mean for him when we come to judging him?

How it started / How it’s going.

Patience is the art of waiting... NEWS COMING SOON! Meanwhile, please follow the page, like this post, and subscribe to the mailing list (link on the image), or you might miss it!
