During the Napoleonic Wars Denmark got friendly with Napoleon and got him to send a couple of regiments of Spanish troops so Sweden could be taught a valuable lesson. They arrived during winter and were quartered in a royal castle which they attempted to heat to a level deemed acceptable to Mediterrenean folks. The castle promptly burned down and the Spaniards immediately defected and returned home rather than spending the rest of the winter in tents. The commander of the Spanish was Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte who became king of Sweden ten years later.

Back To 99 posted:The Saxon pagans were allied with the Danes was the point, but i'm pretty sure we are getting tired of arguing with overly defensive christians so let's just drop it? Yeah let's change the subject. Pope Gregory IX condemned cats as satanic and issued death warrants for them resulting in a sustained cat holocaust. One century later the bubonic plague, spread by rats, killed 100 million people. While not the cause, the lack of cats in Europe may have been unhelpful.

RenegadeStyle1 posted:I always found it was weird that nobility never saw the connection that their family had all these weird problems from inbreeding that the common people didn't have. Well there probably was a higher rate of people being disfigured by disease such as being pockmarked, deformities we can cure today and the lower classes suffering debilitating injuries from hard physical labor and no medical treatment. I mean in a world with no dentists people are bound to be more accepting of physical "quirks".
