 | | Charles XI, or Karl XI, (1655 - 1697), King of Sweden, the only son of Charles X of Sweden, and Hedwig Eleonora of Holstein-Gottorp, was born in the palace at Stockholm on November 24, 1655. |
 | | In 1679 Louis XIV of France dictated the terms of a general pacification, and Charles XI, who bitterly resented "the insufferable tutelage" of the French king, was forced at last to acquiesce in a peace which at least left his empire practically intact. |
 | | Charles devoted the rest of his life to the gigantic task of rehabilitating Sweden by means of a reduction, or recovery of alienated crown lands, a process which involved the examination of every title deed in the kingdom, and resulted in the complete readjustment of the finances. |
