We're in the early 1100s and no one seems to be staying on the throne for very long. On paper though, Filip has the potential to be a good, long-lasting king. He's got strong royal heritage and manages to secure a good marriage alliance with Norway. On the other hand, he also manages to get himself into a border dispute with the same country. We'll see how he handles that and if it makes him worthy of the three crowns.

Inge the Elder, who we met in our previous episode, had a brother called Halsten who also assumes the throne. But it's a stormy period in Swedish history. Will King A be able to hold on for long enough to actually leave a mark or will he only get a brief mention in the history books?

Håkan the Red was a true Viking style leader, coming to the forefront after the chaos of Erik and Erik. But what's his connection to U11 (which may or may not be a German submarine) and does he have what it takes to claim The Three Crowns?

Local legend Stenkil was a good archer and apparently quite pious. But that probably won't win him The Three Crowns on its own, so does this king with quite a cool name do anything else worthy of taking home the main prize?

Following in the footsteps of your father, who also happens to be the first king of Sweden can’t be easy. Anund certainly has his job cut out for him, but he has learnt a few lessons from his dad Olof Skötkonung that he puts to good use. Will it be enough for him to walk away with The Three Crowns?

It is time to judge our first ever ruler, the first king of Sweden, Olof Skötkonung! We cover the life of this interesting character who straddled eras, as we enter a country in the dying days of the Viking period. Will Olof do enough to win the coveted Kingdöm prize of The Three Crowns, or is his life story a bit of a bore?
