In this review episode, we look back at all the rulers we have covered so far to see who is leading the way and who is lagging behind. Which ruler was the most sinful, who wielded an iron fist in Stormakt and who was the best at Flatpack? We answer all those questions, as well as look into which dynasty was the most successful and how many Meatballs we have created!

Valdemar was placed on the throne by his father Birger Jarl when he was just a boy, leaving his father to run the kingdom on his behalf. Birger actually keeps control until he dies, meaning Valdemar doesn't really get to take charge until his late 20s, despite being king for over 15 years by that point. Will he get up to anything spectacular in the second half of his story though?

But just as night comes after day, the Sverker dynasty eventually returns to power after the Erik dynasty when Sverker takes to the throne, and he has grand plans.
