	Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > Charles XIV of Sweden
		Charles XIV (January 26, 1763-March 8, 1844), king of Sweden and Norway, born at Pau, France on January 26, 1763.
		After the defeats of Lützen (2 May 1813) and Bautzen (21 May 1813), it was the Swedish crown prince who put fresh heart into the allies; and at the conference of Trachenberg he drew up the general plan for the campaign which began after the expiration of the truce of Plaswitz.
		Charles John, as commander-in-chief of the northern army, successfully defended the approaches to Berlin against Oudinot in August and against Ney in September; but after Leipzig he went his own way, determined at all hazards to cripple Denmark and secure Norway.
