	CHARLES IX OF SWEDEN FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The fear lest Sigismund might re-catholicize the land alarmed the Protestant majority in Sweden, and Charles came forward as their champion, and also as the defender of the Vasa dynasty against foreign interference.
		It was due entirely to him that Sigismund was forced to confirm the resolutions of the council of Uppsala, thereby recognizing the fact that Sweden was essentially a Protestant state.
		But Sigismund was both an alien and a heretic to the majority of the Swedish nation, and his formal deposition by the Riksdag_of_the_Estates in 1599 was, in effect, a natural vindication and legitimation of Charles's position.
