		In 1649, Karl Gustav was declared successor to the throne, and in 1650, he was given the title "hereditary prince of the realm" on the occasion of Christina's coronation.
		Karl Gustav himself believed that the queen's intention was that of assigning him a politically inconsequential role as heir to the Swedish realm, and was therefore reluctant to accept his title.
		He experienced a personal sense of triumph that the daughter of Gustav II Adolf, the "champion of Protestantism", should have converted to the Catholic faith, and it now became a particular point of pride that she should be received in Rome in the first year of his reign.

	Gustav II Adolph
		Gustav was the eldest son of Charles IX and his second wife, Christina of Holstein.
		At his death the country was exhausted by constant warfare, the monarchy was generally unpopular, and the accession of a new king seemed to offer the opportunity to extort from the crown guarantees against a recurrence of misgovernment.
		A Swedish administration was being organized in the occupied areas; Gustav rewarded his generals and supporters by conferring the conquered lands on them; in some of the treaties he concluded with German princes there was more than a hint that he regarded them as his feudal inferiors.

		Gustav Adolf had been named after his grandfather, the great Gustav Vasa who founded the dynasty and created the modern nation called Sweden.
		In Gustav Vasa's realm, the four estates had all been listened to—the peasants and the citizens of the towns as much as the nobility and the clergy.

		By 1629 he was in Strängnäs, Södermanland, working on the monument (marble and sandstone, completed 1633; in situ) to the half-brother of Gustav II Adolf, King of Sweden (reg 1611–32), Carl Carlsson Gyllenhielm (1574–1650), in his mortuary chapel in Strängnäs Cathedral.
		The monument is rather stylized and solemnly expressive and consists of a tomb surmounted by a baldacchino carried by six Ionic columns; within it are the kneeling figures of Gyllenhielm and his wife, and smaller allegorical and biblical figures and heraldic shields adorn the walls and the baldacchino.
		To Damer is attributed the tower-like mortuary chapel (completed 1639) of Herman Wrangel (1587–1643) at Skokloster Church, Uppland, an octagonal structure evidently influenced by Gustav II Adolf’s memorial chapel (1632–3) at Riddarholm Church in Stockholm.
