  Ulrika Eleonora of Sweden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ulrika Eleonora (January 23, 1688 – November 24, 1741) was Queen regnant of Sweden from November 30, 1718, to February 29, 1720, and then Queen consort until her death.
Ulrika Eleonora had married for love, but the love was not answered by her husband, who became more and more open with his adultary after he lost his real power as a king and had nothing else to do.
The reigns of Ulrika Eleonora and her husband saw the birth of the era of Swedish history traditionally known as the Age of Liberty, when the monarch had to give up most of his power to the aristocracy.

Sweden's expansion in the east continued during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries through the incorporation of Finland into the Swedish kingdom after several crusades.
After Sweden intervened in 1630 with great success in the Thirty Years' War on the side of the German Protestants and Gustav II Adolf had become one of Europe's leading monarchs, Sweden defeated Denmark in the two wars of 1643-45 and 1657-58.
However, Sweden was, except for some small iron works and the copper mine at Falun, a purely agrarian country based on a natural economy, and lacked the resources to maintain its position as a great power in the long run.

Charles XII (1682-1718) was king of Sweden from 1697 to 1718.
Denmark's defeat, however, and Sweden's ensuing rise to prominence in the Baltic region was viewed suspiciously by two other powerful neighbors, King August II of Poland (cousin to both Charles XII and Frederick IV of Denmark) and Peter the Great of Russia.

Ambitious to rule Sweden in the tradition of luxury, she wanted to make her court a center of art, science and culture, and she found it hard to reconcile her ambitions with Sweden's ingrained democracy.
Sweden, an ally of France, was invited to join the league against Frederick the Great and, as a reward for taking part in the war, was to be guaranteed the return of her lost province of Pomerania.
These two grounds, (1) the protection of Sweden's excellent form of government and (2) the maintenance or her most important alliance are the two pillars upon which the welfare and safety of the country depend.

 Charles_XII_of_Sweden - Thagodz Wiki
Carl XII, Karl XII or Carolus Rex, (June 17, 1682November 30, 1718), the Alexander of the North, nicknamed in Turkish as Demirbaş Şarl (Charles the Habitué), was a King of Sweden from 1697 until his death in 1718.
His youth gave other nations a pretext to invade Sweden; Saxony, Denmark-Norway, Poland and Russia joined in a coalition to attack Sweden, beginning the Great Northern War.
There has been some speculation that he was not killed by a grapeshot-bullet but by one fired from the Swedish side, making his death an assassination (at the time he was not very popular in Sweden due to the hardships the people suffered because of the constant wars) but this remains inconclusive.
