a beautiful girl. but a tragic death. i note the name 'norah', not a name you associate with nobility of that era. a midwife perhaps? this was interesting for all the powerful god parents.

Sweden has always been a big brother to us. Though we like Swedes much more than Russians. Yes, living between a proud Sweden and a brutal Russia.

It is a choice. I myself prefer Swedes. Though they laughed a long time ago about our Finnish language. It is about hayloft tongue. The fact is we know about them much more than they know about us.

Beautiful video ! Thanks for sharing. Poor Gustav Adolf ( then the Prince of the Crown ) lost his wife young. And their eldest son died later in a plane accident.

Theirs sons said though, by humour, that their dad was more interested in

archeology, collecting old things, than human beings.
