The Cinderella Story of Sweden's French King
Here's a fun fact: the current ruling dynasty of Sweden isn't Swedish at all! It was founded not too long ago by a lowborn Frenchman, Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte, and his story is as implausible as it is fascinating.
Correction: at 3:47, the king in question is Charles XIII, not Charles XII
