	Charles IX of Sweden - LoveToKnow 1911
		(1550-1611), king of Sweden, was the youngest son of Gustavus Vasa and Margareto Lejonhufrud.
		Technically Charles was, without doubt, guilty of high treason, and the considerable minority of all classes which adhered to Sigismund on his landing in Sweden in 1598 indisputably behaved like loyal subjects.
		Indisputably Charles was cruel, ungenerous and vindictive; yet he seems, at all hazards, strenuously to have endeavoured to do his duty during a period of political and religious transition, and, despite his violence and brutality, possessed many of the qualities of a wise and courageous statesman.

	Rise of Sweden as a Great Power
		At the beginning of that year Charles had concluded an alliance with tsar Basil IV of Russia[?] against their common foe, the Polish king; but when, in 1611, Basil was deposed by his own subjects and the whole tsardom seemed to be on the verge of dissolution, Sweden's policy towards Russia changed its character.

		By this truce Sweden was, for six years, to retain possession of her Livonian conquests, besides holding Elbing, the Vistula delta, Braunsberg in West, and Pillau[?] and Memel in East Prussia, with the right to levy tolls at Pillau[?], Memel, Danzig, Labiau[?] and Windau[?].
