 CHARLES XV. - LoveToKnow Article on CHARLES XV.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Charles was a warm advocate of Scandinavianism and the political solidarity of the three northern kingdoms, and his warm friendship for Frederick VII., it is said, led him to give half promises of help to Denmark on the eve of the war of 1864, which, in the circumstances, were perhaps misleading and unjustifiable.
In view, however, of the unpreparedness of the Swedish army and the difficulties of the situation, Charles was forced to observe a strict neutrality.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Gregory XV
The great activity which Gregory XV displayed in the inner management of the Church was equalled by his efficacious interposition in the politics of the world, whenever the interests of Catholicity were involved.
Gregory XV then sent Carlos Caraffa as nuncio to Vienna, to assist the emperor by his advice in his efforts to suppress Protestantism, especially in Bohemia and Moravia, where the Protestants considerably outnumbered the Catholics.
To a great extent it was also due to the influence of Gregory XV that, at a meeting of princes at Ratisbon, the Palatinate and the electoral dignity attached to it were granted to Duke Maximilian of Bavaria in the early part of January, 1623.

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.

 [No title]
King Charles XV was also in favour of abolishing the stattholder office, because he had in mind to demand a revision of the Norwegian constitution that would grant him, as king, „command of a strong union army“. However, the king had not expected this decision to be opposed by the hardliners in the Swedish Riksdag.
It should also be pointed out that the king, Charles XV, had a personal interest in the support he gave to the Polish propaganda movement as he was an ardent spokesman for a Scandinavian union and as such nurtured romantic ideas of a Scandinavia (led by himself) that would be an important military power again.
