  An Emperor Blessed by Christopher Westley
To many, including myself, Karl of Austria was a man of holy virtue who happened to be one of the last symbols of the dying European order that existed before the ascendancy of mass democracy.
First, Karl was a man of enormous personal piety and courage who stood athwart the rise of the nation-states and their perpetual wars for perpetual peace – wars which we can date with the opening skirmishes of the First World War up to this week’s bombing of Samarra in Iraq.
It is hard not to wonder whether another motive for the advancement of Karl’s cause at the present time is for the Catholic Church in Austria, which is currently mired in scandal and, after eight decades of dependence on the Austrian government, with church membership rolls at record low levels.

 History
During the reigns of Karl IX (1599— 1611) and Gustav II Adolf—Gustavus Adolphus—(1611—32), the crown was able to maintain and strengthen its position.
However, this constitution only applied during periods when the monarch was a minor—first in the case of Queen Kristina and then in that of Karl XI—and lost all actuality in 1680 when Karl XI repossessed crown land which had previously been transferred to the nobility.
After the death of the warrior king Karl XII in 1718 and Sweden’s defeat in the Great Northern War, the Swedish Parliament (the Riksdag) and council were strong enough to introduce a new constitution which abolished royal absolutism and placed power in the hands of Parliament.

Relatively little survives of the 18th-century interiors, since Ulriksdal served as a veterans' hospital from 1822 to 1849, established by King Karl XIV Johan for veterans of the 1808-09 war in Finland.
The palace was therefore fairly empty when it was acquired in 1856 by Prince Karl, later King Karl XV.
With the aid of architect F W Scholander and through extensive purchases of antiques, Karl was able to furnish the palace to his own taste.
